Lin Luo was speechless at the sight.

Zhang Zhihao had earned that positive review at the cost of nearly having all his blood drained. Showing it off like this made him look like a complete clown.

Lin Luo ignored Zhang Zhihao and walked over to Liu Yanyan instead.

"Pull yourself together. In your current state, you're not far from death."

Lin Luo spoke flatly.

At his words, Liu Yanyan gave a bleak smile and replied in despair, "Rather than keep clinging to life like this, I'd rather die quickly..."

But Lin Luo cut her off before she could finish.

"Running away won't solve anything. Just looking at you like this pisses me off. If you want to die, go do it somewhere else."

Lin Luo lashed out at her.

But his harsh words also snapped Liu Yanyan out of her daze.

Her gaze was filled with conflicting emotions as she watched him leave.

Lin Luo was cold on the outside but warm at heart.

As for his feud with Zhang Zhihao...

That was really all Zhang Zhihao's own doing!

After leaving the VIP ward, Lin Luo decided to seek out Director Ghost.

Director Ghost was one of the higher-ups at Yellow Springs Hospital.

He had a luxurious private office.

With Lin Luo dressed in a caregiver's uniform and radiating powerful ghost power, none of the lesser ghosts blocked his way.

He reached the director's office without any trouble.

But just as Lin Luo was about to knock...

Suggestive panting came from behind the door.

Lin Luo was left speechless. Director Ghost certainly knew how to enjoy himself, getting frisky in broad daylight.

Gradually, however, Lin Luo realized something was wrong.

He waited outside for two or three hours, and the sounds never stopped. Even a pile driver wasn't this ridiculous.

Just then, the office door opened, and the tall, burly Director Ghost walked out.

A female ghost in a nurse's uniform followed behind him.

"9527, what are you doing here?"

Director Ghost asked in surprise when he saw Lin Luo.

"Director, I'd like you to take me to see the Hospital Director."

Lin Luo's reply immediately made Nurse Ghost shake her head inwardly.

This human was outrageously bold. If he angered Director Ghost, he would end up either dead or crippled!

But the outcome defied Nurse Ghost's expectations.

Director Ghost didn't get angry. Instead, he agreed.

"Sure, but you'll have to wait. I still have something to do."

It was the first time Nurse Ghost had seen Director Ghost treat a human so politely, and she was utterly stunned.

At the same time, she became interested in Lin Luo.

There's more to this fellow than meets the eye.

"Director, if there's anything I can help with, just say the word."

Lin Luo spoke with a smile.

His words made Director Ghost fall silent for a moment. Then he slowly nodded and pointed at Nurse Ghost beside him.

"This is my younger sister. She's developed an itchy skin condition. Can you see if you can treat it?"

A strange look crossed Lin Luo's face at Director Ghost's words.

Having died once, ghosts' bodies would rot, and itchy skin was all too common.

But since Director Ghost had brought it up, Lin Luo naturally intended to help. This was a chance to win more of his favor.

"I'm willing to try."

Lin Luo spoke solemnly.

A sinister smile appeared on Director Ghost's face, and all four of his mouths spoke in unison. "Sorry for the trouble, then."

With that, Director Ghost turned to look at Nurse Ghost.

"Sister, this young man has good medical skills. He should be able to give you satisfactory results."

Since he had gone that far, Nurse Ghost nodded as well, hoping Lin Luo could cure her skin condition.

Then Lin Luo followed Nurse Ghost into the director's office.

Director Ghost didn't follow them in, as he had work assignments to hand out.

Once Director Ghost had left, Lin Luo quietly put his guard up. He knew nothing about Nurse Ghost, so he still had to be careful.

As if sensing Lin Luo's gaze, Nurse Ghost suddenly twisted her head around 180 degrees and gave him a sinister smile.

"You're so handsome. Your flesh must taste pretty good, right?"

The sudden movement gave Lin Luo a fright, and he instinctively took a step back.

At his reaction, Nurse Ghost let out a bell-like laugh and turned her head back around.

"Relax. I don't like eating human flesh."

Rather than reassuring him, Nurse Ghost's words made Lin Luo even more wary.

A pack of ghostly lies.

Ghosts often mean the opposite of what they say.

This Nurse Ghost won't be easy to deal with.

The ghosts that look harmless at first glance are often even more terrifying.

"Miss Nurse, please lie down."

Lin Luo pointed at the bed beside them and spoke with complete seriousness.

Seeing that Lin Luo could still remain composed clearly displeased Nurse Ghost.

"You're such a bore. Hurry up and treat me. If you can't cure me, I'll peel off your skin as compensation."

Lin Luo's expression didn't change at the threat, and he slowly nodded.

"All right."

Lin Luo put on a calm, carefree air, as if life and death meant nothing to him.

That unsettled Nurse Ghost.

To get her skin condition cured, Nurse Ghost stopped making things difficult for Lin Luo and took off her clothes.

At the sight, Lin Luo's expression grew slightly awkward.

He had to admit that Nurse Ghost had an incredible figure and fair skin.

But when he saw her festering wounds, Lin Luo dismissed his distracting thoughts and focused entirely on dealing with this difficult condition.

"I'll check your pulse first."

Using that as an excuse, Lin Luo touched Nurse Ghost with the Crimson Demon Finger and began looking through her memories.

Even when she was alive, Nurse Ghost had been Director Ghost's younger sister, and she had also graduated from medical school.

Nurse Ghost had been fair-skinned and beautiful since childhood, attracting many talented young suitors. In the end, she had chosen a tall, rich, handsome man and gotten engaged.

But just when Nurse Ghost thought she had a happy future ahead of her, she suddenly developed a skin disease that severely damaged her looks. After her fiancé broke off their engagement, she couldn't bear the blow and slit her wrists with a scalpel.

Even after death, Nurse Ghost still suffered from the condition that made her skin fester.

After a preliminary look through Nurse Ghost's memories, Lin Luo knew he couldn't win her favor through underhanded tricks.

He needed to treat the actual problem.

Had Nurse Ghost been alive, Lin Luo might have felt constrained in treating her skin condition.

But since she was already a ghost, he no longer had those concerns.

"Can you cure it?"

Lying facedown on the bed, Nurse Ghost suddenly turned her head toward him and asked in an eerie voice.

This time, Lin Luo wasn't frightened. He gave a polite smile and replied courteously, "Yes, but I need to go back and prepare a few things. Please give me some time."

"Don't even think about running. If you dare try, the price will be more than you can bear."

Nurse Ghost grinned, her mouth stretching into an exaggerated curve like the Slit-Mouthed Woman's.

It was a chilling sight.

"I understand."

Lin Luo remained unruffled.

Nurse Ghost's festering skin condition was indeed severe.

But since she was already a ghost, replacing her skin would resolve everything.

Then Lin Luo set off for the cafeteria.

Nurse Ghost didn't follow him.

As far as she was concerned, Lin Luo was already trapped and had no chance of escaping her grasp.

"Do either of you have an intact human skin?"

Suppressing his nausea, Lin Luo addressed the two Chef Ghosts.

The two Chef Ghosts exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

"No."

At those words, Lin Luo's heart sank. If he couldn't replace her skin, Nurse Ghost would never let the matter drop!
