Blood Exchange

"There's a little favor I need from you two."

Lin Luo spoke with a smile.

But Wang Lei and Liu Xueru had no choice but to agree.

"Please tell us. We'll do our best to cooperate."

Lin Luo now held the upper hand over the ghosts.

Resisting would only bring them suffering.

"It's nothing much. I just need to draw a little ghost blood."

Lin Luo grinned, but to Wang Lei and Liu Xueru, his smile looked downright demonic.

Ghost blood was the essence of a ghost's existence. Drawing too much would also diminish their ghost power.

Yet Wang Lei and Liu Xueru didn't dare refuse.

The Director Ghost's oppressive presence filled them with suffocating terror.

"All right."

Wang Lei and Liu Xueru looked as though they had lost the will to live.

Seeing this, Lin Luo wasted no time. He took out a syringe and jabbed it into the two ghosts.

Since they were already enemies, Lin Luo showed no mercy. His jabs hurt so much that both ghosts howled in pain.

The Director Ghost's expression darkened, and all four of his mouths barked in unison, "Shut up! If you disturb 9527, you'll both die!"

Wang Lei and Liu Xueru were so aggrieved they could have coughed up buckets of blood. They were the ones getting hurt, yet they still had to endure a scolding!

But faced with the Director Ghost, the two bullies didn't dare utter a word. They could only endure the pain while Lin Luo drew their blood.

Before long, Wang Lei and Liu Xueru had grown noticeably weaker, and both revealed their true forms.

They looked utterly drained.

"9527, they're so ugly. Why don't I wipe them out so they won't frighten you?"

The Director Ghost opened all four mouths and spoke in unison.

Even Lin Luo fell silent at those words.

When it came to frightening looks, Wang Lei and Liu Xueru really couldn't compare to the Director Ghost.

Naturally, however, Lin Luo sided with the Director Ghost.

"No need. It isn't their fault they're ugly."

Lin Luo shook his head, but his words enraged Wang Lei and Liu Xueru so much that their ghost power leaked out.

Afraid of angering the Director Ghost, neither dared make a sound. They could only let Lin Luo draw their blood.

Eventually, every container Lin Luo had brought was filled with ghost blood.

Wang Lei and Liu Xueru secretly sighed in relief. If he kept drawing blood, they feared they would lose their lives.

"9527, what do you plan to do with these two ghosts?"

The Director Ghost didn't care if anyone accused him of discarding people once they had served their purpose.

If these two ghosts were no longer useful,

he wouldn't mind beating them until their souls scattered.

"Keep them around for now. We can decide later."

Lin Luo wasn't foolish enough to eliminate the Elevator Ghost's enemies for him.

Unless he could get the greatest possible benefit out of it,

Lin Luo wouldn't help the Elevator Ghost who had schemed against him.

The Director Ghost nodded. To him, these two lesser ghosts were beneath notice.

Since Lin Luo had said so, he would oblige.

"What else do we need to prepare?"

The Hospital Director Ghost had explicitly told the Director Ghost to assist Lin Luo.

The Director Ghost didn't dare slack off in carrying out his superior's orders.

"Nothing else. We can go back and treat the Hospital Director now."

Lin Luo spoke politely.

A radiant smile spread across his face.

He had been wondering how to perform a blood exchange on the Hospital Director Ghost.

Wang Lei and Liu Xueru's reckless behavior had spared him any further worries.

The blood of these two ghosts was concentrated essence.

It was clearly far better than ordinary human blood.

These two batches of ghost blood would be enough to cure the Hospital Director Ghost's scurvy.

"All right. Let's head back."

The Director Ghost was also eager to cure the Hospital Director.

Then he could share in the credit.

"All right."

Lin Luo nodded and left alongside the Director Ghost.

Watching Lin Luo and the Director Ghost leave, the two ghosts' eyes filled with anger and helplessness.

No matter how unwilling they were to accept it, they had to admit that Lin Luo was no longer someone they could afford to provoke!

Meanwhile, Lin Luo and the Director Ghost returned to the Hospital Director's office without incident.

As Lin Luo entered, the Hospital Director Ghost hurried forward to greet him eagerly.

"You're back already? How are the preparations?"

"Everything's ready. We can operate right away."

Lin Luo's reply delighted the Hospital Director Ghost even more.

Curing his scurvy would mean ridding him of a major source of worry.

"Then I'll leave it in your hands."

The Hospital Director Ghost didn't want to wait another moment.

He was desperate for Lin Luo to perform the operation.

Lin Luo naturally obliged and had the Hospital Director Ghost lie down on the operating table.

At the same time, Lin Luo took out his equipment and began the blood exchange.

As the Hospital Director of Yellow Springs Hospital, the ghost was extraordinarily powerful. The ghost blood extracted from him radiated a bone-chilling cold.

Even through the container, it nearly froze Lin Luo stiff.

Fortunately, Lin Luo had developed ghost power, allowing him to endure the cold and continue the operation.

An ordinary player would probably have been frozen into an ice sculpture already.

Even so, Lin Luo found it unbearably uncomfortable.

It was only half an hour.

Yet to Lin Luo, it felt as though ages had passed, as if he had lived through another lifetime.

Doing everything he could, Lin Luo finally completed the operation without a hitch.

After the blood exchange, the Hospital Director Ghost

radiated even more terrifying ghost power.

That oppressive force shook the entire office, and even the surroundings began to twist and distort.

Lin Luo marveled inwardly at the sight. Without having to suppress his scurvy, the Hospital Director Ghost had undoubtedly become even more terrifying.

"9527."

The Hospital Director Ghost stared straight at Lin Luo and said nothing more for a long while.

The Director Ghost beside them couldn't help growing nervous.

Was the Hospital Director going to discard him now that he had served his purpose?!

If that really happened, there would be nothing I could do.

Unlike the frightened Director Ghost, Lin Luo remained perfectly calm.

Without the thumb's Emotion Stitching,

Lin Luo might have grown nervous too.

But Emotion Stitching had already removed all the Hospital Director Ghost's prejudice against him.

Since he had done the Hospital Director Ghost such a huge favor,

the Hospital Director Ghost naturally wouldn't repay kindness with betrayal!

Just as Lin Luo had reasoned,

after a brief silence, the Hospital Director Ghost patted Lin Luo's shoulder and revealed a chilling smile.

"You did wonderfully. You've been a tremendous help. Tell me, what reward would you like?"

At the same time, a notification sounded in Lin Luo's ears.

"Received a positive review from the Hospital Director Ghost. Reward: movement technique, Ghost Shadow Trace!"

The reward lifted Lin Luo's spirits.

Compared with offensive ghost techniques,

Lin Luo valued movement techniques more.

Even if he couldn't defeat a ghost,

he could use his movement technique to keep his distance and escape.

"9527, the Hospital Director asked you a question. Answer him."

Seeing that Lin Luo hadn't immediately asked for anything, the Director Ghost grew anxious on his behalf.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The Director Ghost's urging brought Lin Luo back to his senses.

"Hospital Director, I'd like to ask you for a bottle of Yellow Springs Wine."

At those words, the Director Ghost was utterly speechless.

Such a rare and wonderful opportunity,

yet Lin Luo was using it to get wine.

He was throwing away a fortune for a pittance.

The Hospital Director Ghost hadn't expected this request either, and his face filled with astonishment.

"Are you sure you only want Yellow Springs Wine?"

"Yes. Yellow Springs Wine is a top-tier underworld wine. If I could taste it, I'd have no regrets in this life."
