"You filthy bug, shut your mouth, or I'll kill you even if it costs me my life!"
The Mummy Ghost's body remained motionless.
But his bloodshot eyes were sinister and terrifying.
Even the Fat Ghost hadn't expected the Mummy Ghost to become so agitated.
An irrational Mummy Ghost was not someone he could stand against!
"Kid, just treat him. Don't talk to him about anything else."
Lin Luo ignored the Fat Ghost's warning. Instead, he looked straight at the Mummy Ghost and said solemnly, "Your wife never betrayed you. After handling your funeral, she hanged herself."
At those words, the Mummy Ghost lost all control of his emotions and shot to his feet.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Lin Luo.
This gave both the Fat Ghost and the elderly lady ghost a terrible fright.
A ghost patient would also be punished for killing a caregiver who had done nothing wrong!
"Shut your mouth, or I'll strangle you!"
The Mummy Ghost wound his bandages around Lin Luo, looking ready to fight him to the death.
Yet Lin Luo showed no fear. He replied with deliberate seriousness, "After your wife hanged herself, she became a lonely hanging ghost with no one to turn to. She's been searching for you in the Horror World ever since."
These words stirred the Mummy Ghost into a frenzy. He shouted himself hoarse, "You're lying! She was the one who killed me! Did she send you here to deceive me?!"
But the moment he finished speaking, Lin Luo stunned him with a punch.
The Mummy Ghost had never imagined that Lin Luo would dare strike him. He must have had a death wish!
Yet the more Lin Luo acted as though he understood his pain, the more the Mummy Ghost began to waver.
"How could a woman too weak to hurt a fly have strangled you? Calm down!"
Lin Luo pointed at the Mummy Ghost and berated him.
The Mummy Ghost began to see sense. As he recalled what had happened before his death, he realized that those iron-vise hands definitely hadn't belonged to his wife.
Hatred had clouded his judgment back then.
And that had led to a terrible mistake!
"This kid really is reckless. I'll have to call my cousin over now."
The Fat Ghost was badly frightened.
Lin Luo was far too daring. He even had the nerve to punch a ghost!
He had thought the situation would spiral out of control.
But what happened next surprised both the Fat Ghost and the elderly lady ghost.
The Mummy Ghost, who had looked ready to slaughter Lin Luo, put on a polite smile and hurriedly said, "Kid, you're right. I was too impulsive. That punch was exactly what I needed."
Hearing this, Lin Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed his plan had worked.
If he had simply told the truth in a normal manner, he would, at best, have reduced the Mummy Ghost's desire to kill him.
But by stirring things up so fiercely now, he had done more.
He had actually won the Mummy Ghost's favor.
"Mr. Mummy, please cherish the wife who still loves you as much as she always did."
Lin Luo spoke solemnly. His words brought tears to the Mummy Ghost's eyes and made him even more grateful to Lin Luo.
If Lin Luo hadn't knocked some sense into him, the Mummy Ghost would still have been blinded by hatred.
He would have continued letting his wife down!
"I know I was wrong. Do you happen to know where my wife is?"
The Mummy Ghost's attitude had changed greatly, and he treated Lin Luo with the utmost courtesy.
"You didn't die very far apart, so she should be at Yellow Springs Hospital too. I hope you find her soon."
Lin Luo's reply made the Mummy Ghost's eyes light up. He shouted excitedly, "Kid, your reasoning makes sense! I'll definitely give you a glowing review!"
With that, the Mummy Ghost left the ward immediately, desperate to reunite with his wife.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Luo's ears.
[Received a positive review from the Mummy Ghost. Reward: Binding Bandages!] [Reward: Ghost-Raising Art!]
The rewards brought a heartfelt smile to Lin Luo's face.
The Binding Bandages were a ghost artifact no weaker than the Blood Rope.
In some respects, their ability to bind and restrain was even more troublesome to deal with.
The Ghost-Raising Art was a Terror Level cultivation technique. As long as he practiced diligently, he could generate ghost power within his body.
At this thought, Lin Luo felt even more motivated. He opened his personal information panel to check his condition.
Player: Lin Luo Strength: 60. Speed: 70. Ghost power: 0. Ghost items: Blood Rope, Binding Bandages. Cultivation technique: Ghost-Raising Art (Terror Level).
Although Lin Luo had yet to cultivate any ghost power, the two Chef Ghosts' generous meals had significantly improved his physical condition. This would make cultivating ghost power much easier.
"I'll take my leave, you two. Until we meet again."
Having dealt with the Mummy Ghost, Lin Luo's work was done for the time being, so he got up and left.
The Fat Ghost stared blankly at Lin Luo's departing figure.
Only after a long while did he let out a remark of admiration.
"That guy is a miracle worker."
Meanwhile, after leaving Ward 103, Lin Luo encountered Zhang Zhihao.
Unlike before, Zhang Zhihao was pale and looked completely drained.
"Lin Luo, don't think you can escape the Mummy Ghost's torment by skipping work!"
Although Zhang Zhihao was extremely weak, he still shouted provocatively.
"You're overthinking it. I've already cured him and received a positive review from him."
An amused smile curled Lin Luo's lips, but his words instantly froze the expression on Zhang Zhihao's face.
The Mummy Ghost was unpredictable and terrifying. Every caregiver assigned to him had ended up dead or injured. Forget a positive review-surviving him was difficult enough.
"You're at death's door, and you're still bragging. I'm embarrassed for you..."
Zhang Zhihao didn't believe Lin Luo could have received a positive review.
But Lin Luo turned a deaf ear to his furious shouting and headed straight for the cafeteria.
Seeing Lin Luo arrive, the two Chef Ghosts greeted him enthusiastically.
"Brother, thanks for all your hard work."
"We've already cooked for you. Eat while it's hot."
The fat and thin Chef Ghosts had prepared a huge spread of dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
After thoroughly enjoying the feast, Lin Luo decided to stay in the cafeteria for the time being.
With the two Chef Ghosts protecting him, the cafeteria was even safer than the dormitory.
Lin Luo settled his emotions, then silently recited the cultivation formula for the Ghost-Raising Art.
If Lin Luo had a companion ghost, practicing the Ghost-Raising Art would yield twice the results with half the effort.
But even without one, he could still use the technique to generate ghost power.
Lin Luo desperately craved strength.
He immersed himself completely in cultivation.
By the time Lin Luo came back to his senses, evening had arrived.
Lin Luo exhaled and slowly stood up.
At the same time, a powerful aura surged from him.
Through his single-minded cultivation, Lin Luo had generated ten points of ghost power within his body.
This was already quite remarkable.
Ghosts like the Fat Ghost and the Flaying Ghost had, at most, just over a hundred points of ghost power.
In the Horror World, ghost power was one of the measures of a ghost's strength.
Exceeding a hundred points meant reaching the fierce ghost level!
"Kid, you need to balance work and rest. Don't rush back into cultivation."
"That's right. Fill your stomach first. Staying in peak condition is what matters."
At the two Chef Ghosts' reminders, Lin Luo smiled in agreement.
"You're both right."
Lin Luo got up to eat some more.
Just then, the other three players arrived at the cafeteria one after another.
