Yellow Springs Wine

Lin Luo looked utterly fascinated by the wine.

Both the Hospital Director Ghost and the Director Ghost deeply understood what he had said.

The taste of top-tier Netherworld Wine.

It truly was exquisite!

"9527, you have excellent taste. Come to the cafeteria with the Director and me tonight. We'll drink our fill!"

Seeing that Lin Luo shared his passion, the Hospital Director Ghost grew much fonder of him.

But Lin Luo did not immediately agree. Instead, he said hesitantly, "Yellow Springs Wine is top-tier Netherworld Wine. It seems such a shame to finish it all in a single sitting."

It was easy to tell from his words that Lin Luo wanted more Yellow Springs Wine.

Even the Director Ghost beside them was speechless.

This fellow really was greedy.

Normally, the Hospital Director Ghost could hardly bear to drink such precious Netherworld Wine as Yellow Springs Wine.

Getting to enjoy even one drinking session was already an honor.

Thanks to Emotion Stitching and Lin Luo curing his scurvy, the Hospital Director Ghost had an excellent impression of him and took out a flask of wine.

In appearance, Yellow Springs Wine looked much like an aged vintage such as Daughter Red.

"This is for you."

The Hospital Director Ghost spoke generously.

The Director Ghost beside them stared in astonishment.

The Hospital Director Ghost was usually incredibly stingy. No matter how well the Director Ghost performed, he could never bear to share the Yellow Springs Wine he treasured.

This was the first time the Director Ghost had seen the Hospital Director Ghost be so generous.

"Thank you, Hospital Director."

Lin Luo thanked him politely while putting away the Yellow Springs Wine.

With that, Lin Luo could fulfill both requirements set by the Drunkard Ghost of mysterious origins.

As long as he could bond with that unfathomable Drunkard Ghost as his Companion Ghost, Lin Luo would surely soar like a hidden dragon emerging into the world.

He would become a Ghost Tamer with limitless potential!

This had always been Lin Luo's ambition and goal.

"Remember to come to the cafeteria tonight. Until then, your time is your own."

The Hospital Director Ghost waved a hand.

He gave Lin Luo time off.

"All right."

Lin Luo nodded, then left the Hospital Director's office.

As soon as he came out, Lin Luo decided to visit the Abandoned Building while it was still light.

He had managed to obtain both wines the Drunkard Ghost had requested.

At the thought of finally becoming a Ghost Tamer as he had wished,

Lin Luo was especially eager for this trip.

But on his way to the Abandoned Building, Lin Luo encountered the Flaying Ghost he had met when he first arrived at Yellow Springs Hospital.

The Flaying Ghost was currently embroiled in a dispute with Zhang Zhihao.

Although Zhang Zhihao had become a Half-Ghost, he was clearly no match for the Flaying Ghost and was left utterly overwhelmed.

Seeing how relaxed Lin Luo looked made Zhang Zhihao's eyes turn red with jealousy.

He had nearly died from having too much blood drawn just to earn a positive review.

Yet Lin Luo had suffered no losses at all.

And he could still get patients to give him positive reviews time and again.

Compared with Lin Luo, Zhang Zhihao was doing terribly.

"Lin Luo, you're supposed to be working as a Nursing Aide in the VIP ward today, but you've been nowhere to be seen all day. Aren't you afraid someone will report you?!"

Zhang Zhihao tried to wield a scrap of authority like an official mandate.

His words, however, only brought an amused smile to Lin Luo's face.

"If you want to report me, feel free to try."

At those words, Zhang Zhihao's expression stiffened. Both Chef Ghosts, and even the Director Ghost, treated Lin Luo with great courtesy.

If he really tried to cause trouble for Lin Luo,

he would only be asking for suffering.

"I was just reminding you. Nothing else."

The balance of power was against him.

No matter how jealous Zhang Zhihao was, he no longer dared to confront Lin Luo head-on.

Seeing Zhang Zhihao back down, Lin Luo could not be bothered with him and turned his gaze to the Flaying Ghost nearby.

Noticing Lin Luo's gaze, the Flaying Ghost hurriedly forced a smile.

But he was so hideous that he could not look friendly at all. He only looked terrifying.

"Sir, is there anything you need?"

"Not at the moment."

Lin Luo shook his head.

Just as he was about to leave, the Flaying Ghost called him back.

"Sir, please wait. Please accept these sets of work clothes."

As he spoke, the Flaying Ghost offered Lin Luo several clean sets of work clothes.

The gesture nearly made Zhang Zhihao choke with anger.

The ghost Zhang Zhihao was caring for was something of a clean freak.

His dirty work clothes displeased the ghost greatly.

To accommodate his patient, Zhang Zhihao had specifically come to ask the Flaying Ghost for work clothes.

He was even willing to spend Ghost Coins.

But the Flaying Ghost would have none of it.

He insisted that Zhang Zhihao trade his organs for them.

"All right."

Lin Luo nodded and accepted the work clothes.

Seeing that Lin Luo was willing to accept them, the Flaying Ghost let out a relieved breath.

He had offended Lin Luo before.

Even though Lin Luo had already let it go, he still felt frightened.

Especially after learning that Lin Luo had formed a friendship with the Director Ghost.

That made him all the more uneasy.

Now that Lin Luo had accepted this small favor, he could finally feel at ease.

"Lin Luo, could you give me a set of work clothes?"

Zhang Zhihao could not help asking.

But Lin Luo replied indifferently, "Sure. Trade all the Ghost Coins you have for it."

At those words, Zhang Zhihao's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Without Ghost Coins,

even getting food would be a problem.

But Zhang Zhihao urgently needed the work clothes. He could only suppress his anger and say, "Lin Luo, I only have 650 Ghost Coins on me. Could you leave me 50?"

His tone carried a hint of pleading.

"Sure."

Lin Luo had no intention of pushing Zhang Zhihao too far.

If Zhang Zhihao really refused to buy them, keeping the spare work clothes would be useless anyway.

Then Lin Luo completed the trade with Zhang Zhihao and left after taking the Ghost Coins.

Watching Lin Luo leave, Zhang Zhihao felt no gratitude at all. Instead, his eyes grew even more venomous.

"Lin Luo, sooner or later, I'll make you regret crossing me!"

Of everyone at Yellow Springs Hospital, Zhang Zhihao hated Lin Luo the most.

But as he spat out his curses through gritted teeth, the Flaying Ghost nearby gave a mocking smile.

This filthy little bug really doesn't know his own limits.

If he keeps making trouble, he'll only be digging his own grave.

The Flaying Ghost even considered killing Zhang Zhihao.

That way, he could claim credit with Lin Luo.

Meanwhile, Lin Luo had no interest in bothering with a nobody like Zhang Zhihao. All he wanted was to reach the Abandoned Building.

But to his surprise, he saw Liu Yanyan at the entrance to the Abandoned Building.

It had only been a few hours since he last saw her.

Yet Liu Yanyan looked noticeably more haggard.

It seemed Zhang Xiaoli's gruesome death

had dealt her a heavy blow.

"This isn't somewhere you should be."

Lin Luo shook his head and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, leave while you still can."

With that, Lin Luo moved to enter.

Anxiety flashed through Liu Yanyan's beautiful eyes beside him, and she hurriedly said, "Lin Luo, I have to go into the Abandoned Building too. Otherwise, when Xiaoli's spirit returns, I'm dead."

At those words, Lin Luo's expression turned strange.

The Faceless Ghost had devoured Zhang Xiaoli without leaving so much as a scrap.

How could her spirit be haunting anyone?

"I'm really not lying to you. Xiaoli's spirit is covering my body right now."

Liu Yanyan was so frantic she was nearly in tears. She rolled up her sleeve, exposing her fair arm.

There was an eerie face-shaped tattoo on her arm.
