"Bug, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm just missing a pair of eyes. Yours look pretty good."

Security Guard Ghost grinned.

At those words, Lin Luo's expression remained unchanged, and he slowly shook his head.

"Transplanting someone else's eyes will only make your eye condition worse."

Security Guard Ghost did not argue with Lin Luo's answer. Instead, he fell silent.

After his corpse was dumped into the sea, Security Guard Ghost's resentment soared. Combined with his powerful physique in life, it soon turned him into a vicious ghost-class monster at Yellow Springs Hospital.

Relying on his terrifying strength, Security Guard Ghost often unleashed his claws and brutally gouged out players' eyes. But every time he forced those eyes into his sockets, his condition worsened, leaving him in unbearable, stabbing pain.

Eventually, even exposure to sunlight caused Security Guard Ghost stabbing pain, and all he wanted was to stay in the pitch-black security office.

"Enough useless talk. Treat me now!"

Powerful resentment surged from Security Guard Ghost's body. Together with his face, its eyes gouged out, it made him look sinister and terrifying!

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll treat you right away."

As Lin Luo spoke, he picked up the scissors on the table and cut open Security Guard Ghost's belly.

The sight left Fat Ghost staring in shock beside them.

Had this guy given up on himself and decided to get himself killed?!

If he angered Security Guard Ghost, even dying might not come easily!

"Bug, you dare toy with me!"

Security Guard Ghost was both shocked and furious.

Despite his shouting, Lin Luo's expression remained unchanged as he continued explaining, "Sir, please trust my medical skills. If I can't cure you, you can do whatever you like with me."

With Lin Luo having gone that far, Security Guard Ghost could only suppress his murderous urges.

His eye condition had plagued him for so long that he was unwilling to miss even the slightest chance.

Once Security Guard Ghost settled down, Lin Luo focused on the treatment and soon worked his way to Security Guard Ghost's stomach with the scissors.

After feeling around for a while, Lin Luo finally found the round foreign objects.

Rip.

Suppressing his nausea, Lin Luo cut open Security Guard Ghost's abdomen and pulled out two bloody eyeballs, one after the other.

Security Guard Ghost was stunned by the sight. His eyeballs had been swallowed into his belly-no wonder he had never been able to find them.

Even Fat Ghost, who had held no hope for Lin Luo, began to feel expectant.

If Lin Luo really could cure Security Guard Ghost's eye condition, he could benefit from it too.

Although Fat Ghost and Security Guard Ghost were relatives, they were not particularly close and barely had any contact.

But if he helped this time, it would definitely bring them closer.

At that thought, Fat Ghost's mountain of flesh trembled, and he eagerly awaited another miracle from Lin Luo.

Lin Luo was fully focused on treating Security Guard Ghost. He skillfully stitched up his abdomen, then cleaned the eyeballs before fitting them into the two sockets.

As soon as the eyeballs were in place, Security Guard Ghost eagerly opened his eyes.

His vision was a little blurry, but compared with the total darkness before, it was a world of difference.

"Sir, your eye condition is quite severe, but it has already improved considerably. Next, get the medicine on my prescription. After one course of treatment, you'll be completely cured."

Lin Luo wrote Security Guard Ghost a prescription to improve his eye condition.

Security Guard Ghost could not hide the excitement on his face.

He had never expected the eye condition that had plagued him for so long to be cured by a bug he considered no better than an ant.

"You did well. I'll tell Director Ghost about this and have the director give you a glowing review!"

With his eye condition treated, Security Guard Ghost was in an excellent mood, and even Lin Luo looked more pleasing to him now.

"Thank you, sir. It's my honor to serve my patients."

Lin Luo's composure, unaffected by either praise or humiliation, pleased Security Guard Ghost even more.

"Whatever the case, you cured my eye condition. From now on, you're under my protection at Yellow Springs Hospital."

Although Security Guard Ghost was selfish and greedy, he at least distinguished between favors and grudges. He owed Lin Luo a huge favor, so he had to make his stance clear.

"Thank you."

Lin Luo nodded, then pointed at the Abandoned Building opposite them with a feigned air of casualness.

"Sir, I've heard the Abandoned Building is very dangerous. As our esteemed security guard, do you have to patrol there too?"

At the mention of the Abandoned Building, Lin Luo clearly noticed a flicker of apprehension in Security Guard Ghost's eyes.

But Security Guard Ghost was arrogant and conceited by nature, so he naturally refused to look weak.

"You're right. The Abandoned Building is a forbidden area of Yellow Springs Hospital. But I'm the hospital's security guard. No matter how dangerous a place is, it still falls under my jurisdiction."

Security Guard Ghost raised his head and spoke with utter arrogance.

"Just what I'd expect of you, sir! Then could you take me there to broaden my horizons?"

Lin Luo spoke with feigned, boundless admiration, but his words immediately left Security Guard Ghost dumbfounded.

This was his first time meeting a human as fearless of death as Lin Luo.

The Abandoned Building was a forbidden place that even ghosts feared.

Where did a mere human get such nerve?!

"If you go to the Abandoned Building, something could still happen to you, even with me protecting you."

This time, Security Guard Ghost avoided making any firm promises.

After all, the ghosts lurking in the Abandoned Building were mysterious and unpredictable. Even he did not dare provoke them!

"Let's give it a try. Even without your protection, sir, I might not survive seven days in Yellow Springs Hospital anyway. Getting to see more of the world before I die would be worth it."

Lin Luo's answer left Security Guard Ghost and Fat Ghost utterly stunned.

This human took life and death so lightly!

"All right. If that's what you want, I can take you."

With the conversation having reached this point, Security Guard Ghost could no longer chicken out.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be admitting that he had less courage than a human?

Security Guard Ghost cared about saving face, so naturally, he refused to back down.

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Luo nodded with a smile. With Security Guard Ghost leading the way, finding Drunkard Ghost in the Abandoned Building would at least be much easier now.

But Security Guard Ghost shook his head at his words. "Don't thank me too soon. You might go in and never come back."

"All right. Thank you anyway."

Lin Luo answered tactfully, then glanced at Fat Ghost beside them and suggested, "Sir, would you like to come along too?"

At those words, Fat Ghost was so frightened that his flesh shook nonstop. He hurriedly refused. "No need. I have absolutely no interest in that place."

His reaction put Lin Luo inwardly on guard.

The Abandoned Building really was terrifying.

Even Fat Ghost was this afraid of it.

But even if it was a death trap, Lin Luo still had to brave it!

"Let's go. This coward won't come."

Security Guard Ghost snorted disdainfully. His younger cousin was a worthless ghost, terrified of dying.

Then Security Guard Ghost called Lin Luo over and set off for the Abandoned Building inside Yellow Springs Hospital.

A dozen or so minutes later, Lin Luo and Security Guard Ghost arrived at the foot of the Abandoned Building.

Before they even entered, Lin Luo sensed a bone-chilling cold.

The sinister aura was far more terrifying than that of the Morgue on the first basement level.

"There's still time to back out. You're human. Nobody will laugh at you for not daring to enter the Abandoned Building."

For once, Security Guard Ghost offered some kind advice.

"No need. We've finally made it here, so let's go in and take a look."
