"Bug, if you don't open your eyes right now, I'll gouge them out!"
The Transparent Ghost snarled viciously.
But his threat only helped Lin Luo calm down.
If the Transparent Ghost could really do that, he would have tortured Lin Luo to death already!
Why else would he waste so much breath?
"Save your breath. I've already figured out your rules."
Lin Luo kept his eyes closed, his unruffled manner making the Transparent Ghost look even more venomous.
Every human he targeted ended up tortured beyond recognition.
There was no way the Transparent Ghost could swallow his anger and let Lin Luo leave alive!
"Bug, you've got guts. But don't get cocky. I'll slaughter you sooner or later!"
After the Transparent Ghost delivered his threat, everything fell silent.
Several full minutes passed, but Lin Luo still didn't open his eyes. He even lay comfortably on the floor, looking ready to fall asleep.
The Transparent Ghost trembled with rage in his hiding place.
This bug was far too cautious.
The Transparent Ghost was also afraid that Lin Luo really would fall asleep.
Once daylight came, the rules would restrict the Transparent Ghost, preventing him from killing humans.
"This bug is so cunning. The brains inside his skull must taste delicious. I wish I could drink my fill."
Growing impatient, the Transparent Ghost tried a different tactic.
Just as Lin Luo began to doze off, Liu Yanyan's voice sounded beside his ear.
"Lin Luo, it's too dangerous to sleep here. Get up. I'll take you to a room where you can sleep."
As she spoke, Liu Yanyan's voice turned sultry and enticing.
But those words brought a mocking expression to Lin Luo's face.
It seemed the Transparent Ghost still hadn't given up.
Liu Yanyan might have been a naive, childish airhead, but she had her pride and valued her chastity. She would never say anything so shameless!
"Stop trying these cheap tricks, you idiot. You won't fool me."
Lin Luo's scornful words infuriated the Transparent Ghost.
He had always been the one tormenting humans. No one had ever mocked him like this before!
His resentment deepened, and he unleashed even stronger Nether Power. The entire dormitory hallway turned crimson, and thick red blood welled across the floor.
Even with his eyes closed, Lin Luo sensed that something was wrong around him, and his skin crawled.
At the same time, all sorts of sounds rang in Lin Luo's ears.
They included the voices of the other three players and the harassing cries of various ghosts.
Even with his strong nerves, Lin Luo felt immense pressure and was uncomfortable all over.
The Transparent Ghost had expected Lin Luo to break down immediately.
But he had underestimated Lin Luo's endurance. Even amid the barrage of noise, Lin Luo remained composed, keeping his eyes tightly shut and turning a deaf ear to it all.
"Give it up. I'm deaf. I can't hear any noise."
Lin Luo looked utterly unmoved.
The sight actually fooled the Transparent Ghost.
"No wonder my tricks don't work on you. So you're a deaf bug! What rotten luck!"
The Transparent Ghost didn't catch on at first. Only when he was about to leave did he realize something was wrong.
"You cunning little bug! If you're deaf, how can you talk to me?"
The Transparent Ghost let out a piercing howl of fury.
In response to his yelling, Lin Luo merely spread his hands and shrugged innocently.
"You actually believed that? Looks like you're not a Transparent Ghost, but a stupid ghost with nothing inside his skull."
Since they were already enemies, Lin Luo wasn't going to be polite to the Transparent Ghost.
When it came to trading insults, the Transparent Ghost was no match for Lin Luo.
Just a few words were enough to drive him into a rage.
"Bug, you've made me angry. Don't even think about getting any rest tonight!"
The Transparent Ghost's gaze turned vicious, and he unleashed more noise to torment Lin Luo.
Faced with the Transparent Ghost's dirty tricks, Lin Luo could only grit his teeth and endure.
But just then, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Too damn loud! Put everything back to normal right now!"
Although Lin Luo's eyes were closed, he recognized the Director Ghost's voice. Still, he didn't open them. This could be another layer of the Transparent Ghost's scheme.
But a moment later, Lin Luo's doubts vanished.
The Transparent Ghost who had been tormenting him suddenly let out a shrill scream of agony.
The next instant, the entire dormitory hallway returned to normal.
"Out wandering instead of resting in your room in the middle of the night? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
The Director Ghost snorted coldly.
"Sorry, Director. I had something to take care of outside. That's why I got back so late."
The Director Ghost ignored Lin Luo's explanation and barked impatiently, "Then get back to your room now! Stop causing me trouble."
"Director, my eyes are injured. I can't open them for now..."
Lin Luo was being cautious, but his words only made the Director Ghost more impatient.
"Then I'll throw you back into your room."
As the Director Ghost spoke, terrifying Nether Power surged forth.
The next instant, Lin Luo went flying and eventually crashed to the floor.
Although the fall left his whole body aching, a smile appeared on Lin Luo's face.
Clearly, he had encountered the real Director Ghost.
At most, the Transparent Ghost could create auditory disturbances. He was plainly incapable of anything like this.
"The trouble's dealt with for now, but the Director Ghost's opinion of me has gotten worse too."
Lin Luo sighed inwardly.
If he wanted to get his hands on the Earth-Burial Wine, his only chance was through the Director Ghost.
But what was done was done, and regret was useless. He could only hope that seeing patients tomorrow would go more smoothly, earning him more good reviews and the Director Ghost's approval.
Just as Lin Luo opened his eyes, an utterly hideous ghostly face filled his vision.
"Bug, you've finally opened your eyes! I want you dead!"
That face belonged to the Transparent Ghost.
The sudden development gave Lin Luo a fright.
But he quickly regained his composure.
The Transparent Ghost's strength had plummeted so badly that he couldn't even remain transparent.
"You're wrong. You're the one who's going to die."
Lin Luo's gaze turned icy. If the Transparent Ghost hadn't been severely injured, he might really have been doomed.
But he was confident he could handle a ghost on its last legs!
"Bug, I'll torture you to death..."
Unwilling to let Lin Luo live another moment, the Transparent Ghost bared his sharp teeth and lunged at him to bite.
Lin Luo gripped the Blood Rope tightly and lashed out with all his strength.
That devastating strike instantly reduced the badly injured Transparent Ghost to ashes.
At the same time, Lin Luo noticed the Blood Rope in his hand flashing red. It had devoured every last bit of the Transparent Ghost's Nether Power.
Lin Luo couldn't help feeling astonished.
It seemed this Blood Rope was even more powerful than he had imagined.
With the Transparent Ghost dealt with, Lin Luo took off his clothes and, with the Faucet Ghost attending to him, enjoyed a warm bath. The exhaustion drained from his body.
Throughout the entire process, the Faucet Ghost didn't dare utter a word.
After all, the Transparent Ghost, who was even fiercer, was already dead.
Someone this ruthless was far beyond anyone the Faucet Ghost could afford to provoke!
