The Hospital Director Ghost

"Then sorry for the trouble, Director, but could you take me to see the Hospital Director?"

The request Lin Luo made.

Caught the Director Ghost completely off guard.

"Are you sure you want to use up your favor over something this trivial?"

The Director Ghost could not quite understand what Lin Luo was thinking.

As far as he was concerned, even introducing Lin Luo to the Hospital Director might not get him any Yellow Springs Wine.

After all, Yellow Springs Wine.

Was an underworld liquor that even he coveted.

"Yes. Please help me, Director."

Lin Luo nodded.

Hearing that, the Director Ghost said no more and called out to Lin Luo.

"Suit yourself. Follow me."

With that, the Director Ghost headed toward the elevator.

Seeing this, Lin Luo followed the Director Ghost into the elevator.

Throughout the ride, the Elevator Ghost did not dare utter a word, as though he were dead.

In fact, the Director Ghost's terrifying Ghost Power bore down like a mountain.

The Elevator Ghost felt as though he would suffocate to death.

The Hospital Director's office was on the third floor.

The elevator reached the floor without incident.

Lin Luo and the Director Ghost stepped out together.

"This human is much more capable than I thought. He's even on good terms with the Director Ghost. If he'd help me, I could definitely kill that bastard and his bitch!"

The Elevator Ghost's voice grew more sinister as he spoke.

His tone sounded almost resentful of Lin Luo.

Meanwhile, under the Director Ghost's guidance, Lin Luo arrived at the Hospital Director's office.

The area around the office was eerie and sinister, making Lin Luo shudder involuntarily.

The temperature plummeted.

It was clearly summer.

Yet to Lin Luo, it felt like the depths of winter.

"Once we're inside, watch what you say. If you anger the Hospital Director, even I won't be able to save you."

The Director Ghost gave Lin Luo a warning.

Only then did he knock on the office door.

"Come in."

An aged voice came from behind the door.

The next second, a cold gust blew the door open.

Without saying a word, Lin Luo followed the Director Ghost inside.

The office's furnishings were no different from those of an ordinary office. At first glance, it looked utterly unremarkable, with nothing visibly out of place.

The old Lin Luo would probably have taken it for an ordinary office.

But now that his body had developed Ghost Power, his senses were noticeably sharper.

He could faintly smell blood lingering around him.

That deliberate attempt to conceal it.

Instead gave Lin Luo an inexplicable sense of danger.

The Hospital Director of Yellow Springs Hospital looked like an old man past fifty.

He looked ordinary. The only thing that distinguished him from a human was probably his exposed fangs.

Clearly, the Hospital Director of Yellow Springs Hospital was a high-ranking vampire.

Even from a distance, Lin Luo could feel the terrifying pressure he exuded.

He was far stronger than the zombie in the VIP ward!

"What brings you here?"

The Hospital Director lifted his teacup and drank, looking utterly unconcerned.

Hearing this, the Director Ghost hurriedly replied, "Hospital Director, I'm here to report on work. Also, this is a newly recruited orderly. He's especially outstanding and has received positive reviews from several patients in a row."

At those words, surprise appeared in the Hospital Director's eyes.

The ghosts of Yellow Springs Hospital had always despised human players, finding every possible way to toy with them and wishing they could torture them to death.

For novice players.

Even staying alive was difficult.

Getting positive reviews was harder than reaching the heavens.

"Interesting. Your body has developed Ghost Power before you've even become a Ghost Tamer. You really are unusual."

The Hospital Director glanced at Lin Luo and spoke with interest.

Hearing that, Lin Luo inwardly stiffened. As expected of the Hospital Director of Yellow Springs Hospital, a single glance had almost laid all his secrets bare.

"Relax, little fellow. As long as you don't break the rules, I won't lay a hand on you."

The Hospital Director spoke with a genial smile.

Despite those words, Lin Luo vaguely felt something was wrong. Compared with the numb, heartless Director Ghost.

The Hospital Director Ghost's friendliness instead gave Lin Luo an inexplicable sense of danger.

"You're our guest. Have some tea."

The Hospital Director Ghost poured a cup of thick, fresh blood.

Lin Luo's expression soured involuntarily. Refusing would surely anger the Hospital Director Ghost.

But this cup of tea had clearly been tampered with.

The Director Ghost also recognized that the Hospital Director Ghost was making things difficult. He tried to smooth things over. "Hospital Director, 9527 is just a filthy bug. He isn't worthy of drinking your tea."

But at his words, the Hospital Director Ghost's expression darkened.

The next second, the Hospital Director Ghost's appearance changed.

His image as a cheerful old man was completely overturned.

The skin on his face peeled away, revealing blackish-purple flesh.

The eyes on that fleshy face turned vertical and blood-red, and sharp fangs protruded from his mouth.

At the sight, cold sweat broke out on Lin Luo's forehead. This was a high-ranking vampire indeed.

The pressure almost left him unable to breathe.

The Director Ghost felt the pressure as well.

He had not expected the Hospital Director Ghost to be this outrageous.

A single disagreement, and he was baring his fangs at Lin Luo.

By now, Lin Luo had already stepped into the rules the Hospital Director Ghost had laid down.

If he violated them, the Hospital Director Ghost would use that as grounds to kill him.

"Now we're in trouble."

The Director Ghost felt utterly helpless too.

There was nothing he could do.

He could only hope the Hospital Director Ghost would not take things too far.

But what Lin Luo did next left both ghosts dumbfounded.

"Hospital Director, you're my elder. As your junior, I should offer you the first cup."

Those words brought a sneer to the Hospital Director Ghost's face.

Even now, he was still trying to stall.

How utterly foolish.

"Fine. But when your elder asks you to offer a toast, you mustn't refuse."

The Hospital Director Ghost picked up another cup of tea.

Seeing this, Lin Luo leaned forward and clinked cups with him, discreetly touching his target with his thumb at the same time.

"Looks like you're so scared you've lost your wits. You're treating tea like liquor, even clinking cups!"

The Hospital Director Ghost mocked him.

But before long, the Hospital Director Ghost sensed something was wrong.

The more he looked at Lin Luo, whom he had regarded as a plaything, the more likable he seemed.

He even felt an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Noticing the change in the Hospital Director Ghost's gaze, Lin Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Emotion Stitching in his thumb had worked.

"Meeting someone like you certainly made me a little nervous."

Lin Luo's words immediately pleased the Hospital Director Ghost.

"Relax. You're an orderly at Yellow Springs Hospital. As long as you haven't done anything wrong, no one can touch you."

As he spoke, the Hospital Director Ghost returned to his appearance as an unremarkable little old man.

At the sight, all four of the Director Ghost's mouths hung wide open, thick saliva dripping from them.

The Director Ghost simply could not keep his emotions steady.

The Hospital Director Ghost had always acted high and mighty.

He regarded human players as filthy rats.

The Director Ghost could not fathom why the Hospital Director Ghost's attitude had changed so quickly.

Could he have some ulterior motive?

While the Director Ghost stood there bewildered, Lin Luo smiled at the Hospital Director Ghost and said, "I know a little medicine. Would you let me check your pulse?"

At those words, the Director Ghost was so frightened that his soul nearly scattered.

This fellow was a complete and utter lunatic.

He probably had not feared the Hospital Director Ghost at any point.

This was the first time the Director Ghost had encountered anyone as outrageous as Lin Luo.
