The ghost-face tattoo on Liu Yanyan's arm.

It was unmistakably Zhang Xiaoli.

Lin Luo shook his head inwardly. Zhang Xiaoli's resentment ran deep. Even with her physical body gone, her obsession had been enough to turn her into a ghost.

But after becoming a ghost, she had chosen her best friend as the target of her revenge.

She really was utterly deranged.

"What does Zhang Xiaoli want you to do?"

Lin Luo asked casually.

"She wants me to go into the Abandoned Building and find a perverted ghost to breed with, so she can be reborn."

At this point, Liu Yanyan's expression twisted with pain, and tears of grief fell from her eyes.

Liu Yanyan had never imagined Zhang Xiaoli could be so vicious. She felt like a stranger to her now, and that filled her with a profound fear.

Hearing this, Lin Luo couldn't help frowning. That venomous woman really had deserved to die!

"Lin Luo, stay out of this. If you piss me off, you'll die too!"

Just then, the tattoo on Liu Yanyan's arm became even more distorted, its mouth twisting as she gritted her teeth.

At Zhang Xiaoli's threat, Lin Luo's expression turned ice-cold. A mere remnant of a ghost dared to threaten him? How ridiculous!

"I can help you, but you'll have to follow my instructions until this instance ends. Are you willing?"

Lin Luo laid out his condition.

Liu Yanyan, who had been ready to give up on life, trembled with excitement.

Even if Lin Luo's demands were incredibly harsh.

That would still be better than being toyed with by a perverted ghost and forced to give birth!

"I'm willing. As long as you help me, I'll agree to anything."

Liu Yanyan felt as though she had found a lifeline.

After their recent encounters, Liu Yanyan admired Lin Luo immensely. Following his instructions would at least give her a better chance of surviving.

Besides, Lin Luo was handsome. Even if she had to give herself to him, she would do so willingly.

"Good."

Lin Luo nodded.

He was reasonably satisfied with Liu Yanyan's attitude.

Their conversation, however, darkened the expression of Zhang Xiaoli, who had become the Tattoo Ghost. She snarled venomously, "Liu Yanyan, you'd better not dig your own grave. If you dare resist me, you won't even be able to die!"

With that, Zhang Xiaoli exerted her power, and the tattoo flashed red.

Liu Yanyan felt as though her arm was being burned beyond repair and let out an agonized scream.

Seeing this, Lin Luo stepped forward and grabbed Liu Yanyan's arm.

At the same time, Lin Luo released his ghost power.

Zhang Xiaoli had only just become the Tattoo Ghost.

She clearly wasn't very strong.

Lin Luo's ghost power soon injured her.

"Lin Luo, why do you have to meddle? There's nothing in this for you!"

Zhang Xiaoli was no match for Lin Luo.

She tried to win him over.

"As long as you stay out of this, I can form a contract with you and become your companion ghost. I'll cooperate with whatever you want to do."

Those blatant words and that tempting offer made Liu Yanyan nervous. If Lin Luo agreed, she would be doomed.

"Lin Luo, I'll do anything you want too. Please don't abandon me."

Liu Yanyan sobbed, tears streaming down her delicate face.

That left Lin Luo speechless.

She made him sound like a scumbag who had seduced her and then cast her aside.

"Don't worry. Someone like her doesn't interest me!"

As he spoke, Lin Luo unleashed his ghost power at full strength.

Having only just become the Tattoo Ghost, Zhang Xiaoli couldn't withstand Lin Luo's power at all.

"It hurts!"

Zhang Xiaoli let out a piercing wail.

The next second, she was blasted out of Liu Yanyan's body.

If she had stayed where she was.

Lin Luo's ghost power would have destroyed her!

With her corpse torn apart in death, Zhang Xiaoli had become nothing more than a mass of thick black mist after turning into a ghost.

The black mist contracted, forming Zhang Xiaoli's ghostly face.

"Lin Luo, you'll regret sticking your nose into this!"

Zhang Xiaoli shot Lin Luo a venomous glare, then floated into the Abandoned Building.

No matter how much she hated Lin Luo.

Zhang Xiaoli knew perfectly well that she was no match for him.

If she kept fighting him.

Her soul would only end up scattered into oblivion.

Lin Luo didn't give Zhang Xiaoli another thought.

He told Liu Yanyan behind him to return to the dormitory first.

Then he ventured into the Abandoned Building alone.

Lin Luo had been here once before. Familiarity made things easier, and he deftly avoided the lesser ghosts blocking his way.

But he still encountered a ghost wall along the route he had to take.

Trapped inside the ghost wall.

He heard waves of spine-chilling wails and sighs all around him, and the temperature dropped.

Despite the scene, Lin Luo showed no sign of panic. He stayed fully alert to his surroundings.

Ghost power had begun to grow within Lin Luo's body.

His ability to sense ghosts had sharpened as well.

The ghost that had erected the ghost wall to block his path.

Clearly wasn't strong enough.

It could only create illusions to frighten people.

Once it scared someone enough to shatter their mental defenses.

The ghost hiding in the shadows could do whatever it pleased.

"Scare tactics don't work on me. You might as well show yourself."

Lin Luo had no intention of wasting time on this ghost.

At his words, the mournful sighing grew even more intense, weighing heavily on anyone who heard it.

But Lin Luo could withstand immense pressure, so it naturally had no effect on him.

When the ghost still refused to appear, Lin Luo tightened his grip. The next second, he swung the Blood Rope at a weak point in the ghost wall.

Now that Lin Luo had developed ghost power.

His attacks were considerably stronger.

With just one strike.

He punched straight through the ghost wall.

But before Lin Luo could react, the Blood Rope in his hand suddenly exploded.

It happened so abruptly that even Lin Luo had no time to throw the ghost artifact away.

Fortunately, Lin Luo was tough, and his ghost power shielded him in time, keeping his arm from being blown off.

Even so, Lin Luo's expression was grim, and his eyes blazed with murderous intent.

That damned Elevator Ghost!

He had actually pulled such a dirty trick on him.

The Elevator Ghost had placed a restriction on the Blood Rope.

Once ghost power was channeled into it, it would trigger a powerful explosion.

At the same time, Lin Luo noticed something wrong. A bloody handprint had appeared out of nowhere on the arm that had held the Blood Rope.

Lin Luo was fairly familiar with the various tricks ghosts used.

He quickly recognized it as the Elevator Ghost's curse.

If he failed to stop it and the curse spread over his entire body, he would die suddenly!

"Looks like I didn't go settle the score with him, so he came to make trouble for me instead. That Elevator Ghost deserves to die!"

Lin Luo's gaze turned icy.

He now wanted to kill the Elevator Ghost.

Lin Luo didn't care how terribly the Elevator Ghost had died.

The Elevator Ghost had nearly gotten Lin Luo killed several times.

This grudge.

Lin Luo would settle it.

And he would pay him back tenfold!

Sensing that Lin Luo had been injured by the ghost artifact, the ghost that had been considering retreat suddenly felt tempted.

She let out an eerie laugh that made his scalp prickle.

"How lucky I am to encounter a Ghost Tamer injured by a ghost artifact. A Ghost Tamer's flesh and blood are a rare delicacy."

With that, a dark figure lunged straight at Lin Luo.

Lin Luo looked closely and saw a female ghost with disheveled hair.

The female ghost's face was hidden by black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Her white clothing made her look even more sinister and eerie.

"I'm not a Ghost Tamer yet. And even injured, I'm more than capable of dealing with you."

His expression cold, Lin Luo used the footwork of Ghost Shadow Trace and easily dodged the female ghost's ambush.
