Mummy Ghost

Early the next morning.

Lin Luo woke up on time, washed up, and hurried out.

With the two Chef Ghosts making the arrangements, Lin Luo enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast.

Compared with Lin Luo, the other three players could only chew on their bland steamed corn buns.

"That guy won't stay this lucky forever!"

Nearby, Zhang Zhihao stared at Lin Luo with eyes full of jealousy.

Lin Luo had practically come to Yellow Springs Hospital to enjoy himself. The difference in their treatment was enormous.

Lin Luo had no interest in bothering with a clown like Zhang Zhihao. After eating and drinking his fill, he got up and headed to the hospital's ward area.

"You bugs had better come early from now on. If you hold me up, I'll take your organs as punishment."

The Director Ghost was in a foul mood today, all four mouths cursing in unison.

That icy voice put all four players, including Lin Luo, under pressure.

Then the Director Ghost began assigning work to Lin Luo and the others.

Lin Luo was assigned to treat the mummy lying in a hospital bed.

Liu Yanyan and the other two were assigned to another ward.

"That guy is dead meat."

Zhang Zhihao smiled gleefully. That mummy was extremely dangerous. Every Nursing Aide previously responsible for examining him had either died or been injured.

Lin Luo also understood how difficult this assignment was.

But with no way to back out, he had to give it his all.

Lin Luo took a deep breath to steady himself and walked into Ward 103.

Just as it had been two days earlier, bed four in the ward was still empty.

At the sight of Lin Luo, the Fat Ghost in bed one gave him a warm smile.

"Brother, we must be destined to meet. Here we are again already."

The Fat Ghost's attitude left the other two ghosts looking astonished.

The Fat Ghost had always rejected and despised humans, finding every possible way to torment them before brutally slaughtering and eating them!

"Good morning, sir."

Lin Luo smiled and nodded at the Fat Ghost, then walked toward the Mummy Ghost in bed two.

"Mr. Mummy, Nursing Aide 9527 at your service."

Lin Luo maintained a professional demeanor, but in response, the Mummy Ghost opened his mouth and bared his sharp teeth.

"Filthy bug, I'm hungry. Give me your hand to chew on!"

Before Lin Luo could respond to the Mummy Ghost's provocation, the Fat Ghost beside him objected.

"Mummy, I owe this young brother a favor. Don't you dare mess with him!"

"Fatty, who the hell do you think you are?"

The Mummy Ghost was outrageously arrogant, showing no regard for the Fat Ghost at all.

That made the Fat Ghost's expression darken further.

The Mummy Ghost's ghost power was indeed stronger than his. If they fought, the Fat Ghost would definitely come off worse.

"Mummy, let me tell you straight. This young brother cured my cousin's eye condition. You'd better think carefully before laying a hand on him."

The Fat Ghost shouted back, refusing to yield.

At those words, the mummy's gaze changed, filling with wariness.

The Security Guard Ghost was far stronger than him.

He had never expected this filthy bug, whom he considered no better than an ant, to possess such impressive medical skills that he could even cure the Security Guard Ghost's eye condition!

Even the old woman in bed three turned her attention toward him, and the mouth on the back of her head let out a shrill laugh.

"This little bug is much more interesting than that girl from two days ago. Don't die too soon."

"Ma'am, I'll do my best to survive until the end."

Lin Luo gave the old woman a polite smile.

He had not shown the slightest panic throughout the exchange.

His remarkable composure surprised all three ghosts in the ward.

"Even if we follow the rules, this filthy bug still has to die if he can't cure me!"

The Mummy Ghost glared viciously as he rasped out the words.

"Forget it. This young brother has the best medical skills I've ever seen."

The Fat Ghost continued trading barbs with the Mummy Ghost.

But his words only intensified the vicious gleam in the Mummy Ghost's eyes. The mummy promptly tucked his medical chart beneath his body.

With that, Lin Luo had no way to determine what illness the mummy had.

The Fat Ghost had not expected the Mummy Ghost to pull such a trick either, and he trembled with anger.

But the hospital's rules prevented him from interfering.

"Filthy bug, hurry up and apply my medicine, or I'll give you a bad review!"

The Mummy Ghost revealed a venomous smile.

"Please wait a moment."

Despite the Mummy Ghost's urging, Lin Luo did not panic at all. As long as he wore Yellow Springs Hospital's Nursing Aide uniform and broke no rules, the Mummy Ghost could not attack him.

Seeing that Lin Luo could remain so calm, the Mummy Ghost instinctively licked his lips.

Such a clever bug. His brains must be delicious.

Lin Luo ignored the Mummy Ghost's predatory gaze and extended his Crimson Demon Finger, pretending to take the Mummy Ghost's pulse.

The gesture made the Mummy Ghost sneer.

His injuries were external. There was no way to detect them by checking his pulse.

As far as the Mummy Ghost was concerned, Lin Luo was certain to make a mistake.

At that moment, Lin Luo concentrated fully on using his Crimson Demon Finger, sifting through the Mummy Ghost's memories.

In life, the mummy had been a low-level employee at a company. Though his salary was modest, he had lived happily and married the woman he loved. But an accidental fire had left him severely burned.

With no other choice, his wife had reluctantly sold their marital home and spent all the money she had painstakingly raised on his treatment.

But the mummy's burns were so severe that even expensive medication could only keep him barely alive.

The staggering medical bills were far beyond what their small family could afford. One night, when the mummy was utterly distraught, he had vaguely perceived someone gripping his throat and choking him to death.

The mummy hated his fate and was convinced that his wife had strangled him.

After death, the twisted Mummy Ghost frequently tortured humans to death under the pretext of having his dressings changed, taking pleasure in it.

In truth, the Mummy Ghost had no illness. The bandages on his body were merely his Ghost Artifact.

"Filthy bug, don't think you can stall! If you don't start treating me, I'll bite your hand off!"

The Mummy Ghost had grown impatient and snarled viciously.

But in response to his shouting, Lin Luo slowly shook his head and said, "Sir, you aren't injured. You don't need treatment."

Shock flashed through the Mummy Ghost's eyes. He had not expected this bug to see through his feigned illness. The human really did have some skills; otherwise, the Fat Ghost would never have held him in such high regard!

But the Mummy Ghost was determined to kill Lin Luo. He stubbornly insisted, "Stop talking nonsense, you filthy bug! With all these bandages wrapped around me, how could I not be ill?"

"The bandages are merely your Ghost Artifact. Given your current condition, your only ailment is psychological."

Lin Luo continued, leaving the Mummy Ghost stunned.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you filthy bug?"

Yet Lin Luo's next words made the Mummy Ghost lose control of his emotions.

"Your wife never betrayed you."
