Security Guard Ghost

Lin Luo could tell Grandpa Ghost had no intention of continuing the conversation.

So he got up and said goodbye.

Watching Lin Luo leave, Grandpa Ghost wore a thoughtful smile.

Although they had not spent much time together, Grandpa Ghost could still tell that Lin Luo had backbone. No matter how dangerous the abandoned building was, he would definitely go there.

If Lin Luo really took that Drunkard Ghost as his companion ghost, things would get interesting.

He might become a Ghost Tamer unlike any before him!

In fact, things went exactly as Grandpa Ghost had guessed.

Lin Luo headed straight for the abandoned building.

After all, he could only stay at Yellow Springs Hospital for seven days.

Every day was precious. Now that a shift rotation had finally given him an opportunity, he could not let it slip away.

On his way to the abandoned building, Lin Luo unexpectedly ran into a ghost.

It was Fat Ghost, the first ghost Lin Luo had treated.

The moment he saw Lin Luo, Fat Ghost hurried over with a fawning smile.

"What a coincidence, young miracle doctor! Thanks to your medical skills, I won't have to wait several more months to be discharged."

Fat Ghost spoke with great excitement.

After the little worm had been removed from his heart, Fat Ghost felt lighter all over. Even his strength had improved.

"You're welcome. I was just doing my job."

Lin Luo gave him a professional smile while discreetly taking a step back.

The main problem was that Fat Ghost smelled worse than a latrine. The stench nearly made him throw up.

"Hehe, it's rare to meet a Nursing Aide I like this much. From now on, I'll have your back at Yellow Springs Hospital."

Fat Ghost flashed a greasy smile, but Lin Luo did not take his words seriously. He had encountered plenty of ghosts over the past two days, and his standards had risen accordingly.

At best, Fat Ghost was only a little stronger than Flaying Ghost.

He clearly was not strong enough to protect Lin Luo.

"Hehe, I might not be that strong, but my cousin is a security guard at Yellow Springs Hospital. He's a vicious ghost!"

Fat Ghost looked boastful as he said this.

His words, however, brought a flicker of interest to Lin Luo's eyes. The ghosts of the Horror World had a strict hierarchy: wandering souls, ferocious ghosts, vicious ghosts, red-clothed vicious ghosts...

As far as Lin Luo knew, Director Ghost was also at the Vengeful Ghost Tier.

That meant Fat Ghost did indeed have something to be proud of.

"Then thank you very much, sir."

Lin Luo spoke politely.

Fat Ghost was delighted to hear this, and his smile grew even greasier.

"My cousin was injured when he was alive, and it's still affecting him after death. If you cure him, even he'll owe you a favor."

Fat Ghost continued.

Hearing this, Lin Luo finally understood. So this was what Fat Ghost had been after.

If Lin Luo cured Security Guard Ghost, Fat Ghost would also benefit from having introduced him.

But if Lin Luo could not treat him, the enraged Security Guard Ghost might use that as an excuse to slaughter him.

Yet Lin Luo had no way to refuse now.

Otherwise, angering Fat Ghost would also bring him trouble.

"All right. Sorry for the trouble, sir, but please lead the way."

Seeing Lin Luo agree so readily, Fat Ghost was even more satisfied.

This little worm knows what's good for him.

Good. That saves me the trouble of threats and bribes.

Then Fat Ghost led Lin Luo to the hospital's security office and casually shut the door.

The lights were off, leaving the security office pitch-black. Even in broad daylight, Lin Luo felt an indescribably sinister atmosphere.

"My cousin likes dark places. Don't be scared. Even if you mess up, I'll collect your corpse for you."

Fat Ghost offered an explanation, but his attempt at reassurance left Lin Luo utterly speechless.

If Fat Ghost did not know how to make conversation, he should not force it.

Lin Luo had no idea how to respond.

"Fatty, didn't I tell you not to bother me during the day?"

Just then, a sinister voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a massive, muscular shadow loomed toward them.

Fat Ghost was as fat as a mountain of flesh, but even he paled in comparison to the figure before them.

"Cousin, this is the hospital's new orderly. His skills are incredible, so I brought him here to treat you..."

Fat Ghost looked eager to claim credit, but before he could finish, Security Guard Ghost kicked him out, sending both him and the door flying.

Light streamed in, allowing Lin Luo to see Security Guard Ghost clearly. He immediately sucked in a breath.

Security Guard Ghost was absurdly tall, at least three meters, with muscles like lumps of iron. Even from a distance, Lin Luo could feel his terrifying presence.

Looking up, Lin Luo discovered that both of Security Guard Ghost's eyes had been gouged out, leaving only empty sockets.

The sight made the corners of Lin Luo's mouth twitch. Yellow Springs Hospital had hired a blind man as a security guard. That really took absurdity to a whole new level.

"Cousin, I'm sorry! I said the wrong thing!"

Fat Ghost scrambled back, shouting in terror.

"As long as you know. Now get lost. Leave this little pest here for me to snack on."

Security Guard Ghost gave a sinister chuckle. His words made Lin Luo's expression turn grave. Even with the Blood Rope, he was absolutely no match for a Vengeful Ghost Tier opponent.

Since force would not work, he could only rely on his wits.

"Sir, I'm a Nursing Aide at this hospital. Killing me without cause would violate hospital regulations."

Lin Luo showed no fear and spoke with calm composure.

His reaction surprised both Security Guard Ghost and Fat Ghost.

Compared with the humans they had encountered before, this fellow really did have some ability.

At least he could handle pressure.

"You trespassed on my territory. If you die, you'll have only yourself to blame."

Security Guard Ghost flashed a savage smile.

"You've misunderstood. This gentleman asked me to come and treat you."

Lin Luo pointed at Fat Ghost beside him as he defended himself.

"That's right, cousin. Just let him try. If he can't cure you, you can always kill him afterward."

Fat Ghost forced himself to speak.

He had caused serious trouble now and had to find a way to salvage the situation. As long as Lin Luo cured Security Guard Ghost, everything would work itself out.

"Fine. If you don't satisfy me, prepare to be skinned and swallowed alive."

Security Guard Ghost assumed Lin Luo was merely bluffing.

Even Director Ghost had been helpless to treat his condition.

"All right, sir. Sorry for the trouble, but please lie down so I can check your pulse."

Lin Luo forced himself to stay calm, then reached out and touched Security Guard Ghost's wrist.

At the same time, Lin Luo immediately activated Crimson Demon Finger and searched through Security Guard Ghost's memories.

Security Guard Ghost had been born into an ordinary family. From childhood, he had been stronger than other people. At school, he had used his strength to bully the weak and become the school bully.

Later, he had been expelled for fighting, and his parents had arranged for him to work as a security guard at a construction site.

Even after starting work, Security Guard Ghost had not changed his ways. He extorted his coworkers and migrant workers.

But even villains met their match. Someone Security Guard Ghost had once bullied suddenly struck it rich, tricked him into getting drunk, gouged out his eyes, and stuffed them into his mouth. In the end, he was thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Seeing what had happened to Security Guard Ghost left Lin Luo speechless.

He deserved to die!
