Karmic Suppression

"You cheating bastards, you won't escape! Today, I'll rip out your souls and burn them like sky lanterns!"

The Elevator Ghost pursued them relentlessly, snarling venomously at Wang Lei and Liu Xueru ahead.

Hearing that, the two ghosts felt the pressure mount. With so much of their ghost blood drained, they really were no match for the Elevator Ghost now.

But they still chose to trust Lin Luo.

At worst, the Security Guard Ghost was there to back them up.

Their souls would not be obliterated.

Seeing the two ghosts stubbornly flee, the Elevator Ghost cast aside his remaining doubts.

He channeled his ghost power, gradually closing the distance.

Just as he was about to catch them.

Wang Lei and Liu Xueru finally reached the Abandoned Building.

"These cheating bastards really know how to hide, but that won't work on me."

Obsessed with torturing the two ghosts, the Elevator Ghost had lost all reason. Revenge was all he could think about.

Following behind, Lin Luo watched with quiet interest. It seemed the Elevator Ghost had completely lost his composure.

At this rate, the obliteration of his soul was not far off.

Still unaware that his end was near, the Elevator Ghost channeled his ghost power and charged into the Abandoned Building.

But the moment he stepped inside, he realized something was wrong.

Wang Lei and Liu Xueru were no longer fleeing in desperation. Instead, venomous smiles spread across their faces.

"So you've given up. But I won't let you off easily. It's time we settled our score properly."

The Elevator Ghost acted as though Wang Lei and Liu Xueru were already at his mercy.

Yet his words only made the two ghosts sneer mockingly.

"We finally lured you here."

"You beast, you're the one who's finished!"

As Wang Lei and Liu Xueru spoke, they both revealed their true forms.

A hanged ghost.

And a Burned-to-Death Ghost.

At the sight, the Elevator Ghost gave an eerie smile.

"Still putting on an act at this point? Neither of you is getting away!"

As he spoke, the Elevator Ghost unleashed all his ghost power.

The skin peeled off his entire ghostly face, exposing clearly visible blood vessels as a pungent stench of blood washed over them.

Comparing the two sides.

The Elevator Ghost clearly held the advantage.

But just then, an even colder aura enveloped them, and the temperature throughout the area plummeted.

The sudden change filled the Elevator Ghost with inexplicable unease.

The next second, a female ghost with disheveled hair appeared like a phantom.

Her appearance instantly transformed the Elevator Ghost's expression.

His two hideous eyes filled with terror.

In life, this female ghost had been Liu Xueru's younger sister.

Liu Yanru.

The sisters had never gotten along.

After her death, Liu Yanru had even blamed Liu Xueru for her being tortured to death.

The Elevator Ghost had never imagined that these two female ghosts would join forces to lay a trap for him.

Now he was in trouble.

Because he was the one who had tortured Liu Yanru to death.

Under the rules of karmic retribution.

The Elevator Ghost was distinctly weaker than Liu Yanru.

Not to mention the other two ghosts watching him like predators.

The Elevator Ghost, who had thought victory was assured, completely panicked.

"You beast! Today, you'll pay for your blood debt! I'll make sure you never reincarnate!"

Enemies burned with hatred when they met.

That held true even after they died and became ghosts.

Liu Yanru's shrill, venomous voice terrified the Elevator Ghost, and he turned to flee.

But before he could rush to the entrance of the Abandoned Building.

Lin Luo used Ghost Shadow Trace and locked the doors ahead of him.

That move instantly sent the Elevator Ghost into a fury.

So this damned insect was behind it all.

That explained it.

Without Lin Luo's interference, these two female ghosts could never have joined forces.

Lin Luo had really screwed him over this time.

"You damned insect, get out of my way! I don't care how many ferocious ghosts you know! If I die, I'm taking you with me!"

Faced with the threat of death, the Elevator Ghost roared in agitation.

His piercing ghostly howl shook the doors of the Abandoned Building.

"Then I'll leave. Hopefully, you can make it out."

An amused smile appeared on Lin Luo's face.

The Elevator Ghost had screwed him over several times before, nearly costing him his life.

Now he had finally gotten some payback.

Hearing that, the Elevator Ghost's murderous hatred for Lin Luo surged, but the circumstances left him no chance to break away and torture Lin Luo to death.

With no other choice, the Elevator Ghost charged straight toward the doors of the Abandoned Building.

He tried to smash his way out.

But the three ghosts, who all bore a deep blood feud against him, had no intention of letting him succeed. They channeled their ghost power to stop him.

Liu Yanru, her hair hanging loose, raised her sharp black nails and clawed a large chunk of ghost flesh off the Elevator Ghost's face.

The pain made the Elevator Ghost scream in agony.

Ghost blood dripped endlessly from his face.

It even ate through the cold floor beneath him.

Lin Luo was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he watched the battle from the shadows.

A fight to the death between ghosts.

That was a rare sight.

Lin Luo could learn from it, too.

"Liu Yanru, you're already dead. Why cling to the sordid affairs of your life?"

His eyes venomous, the Elevator Ghost used ghost power to stabilize his wound while snarling ominously, "If you push me too far, all our souls will be obliterated."

"Rather than that, why not kill this insect and eat his flesh? His body produces ghost power. He must taste delicious."

The Elevator Ghost tried to redirect their hostility.

But Lin Luo merely curled his lips in a mocking smile at the ploy, not taking it seriously at all.

In fact, before taking action, Lin Luo had already guessed that the Elevator Ghost would pull some nasty trick.

Just to be safe.

Lin Luo had summoned the Security Guard Ghost as well.

Unless these three ghosts had a death wish.

They certainly would not attack Lin Luo.

"That's fucking bullshit!"

"Mr. Lin Luo is our great benefactor! We aren't beasts like you. We would never do something so vile and underhanded!"

The three ghosts put on a show of righteous indignation.

Their words left the Elevator Ghost utterly bewildered.

These three ghosts were cruel and cunning, willing to do anything to achieve their aims. They had tortured countless humans to death.

He simply could not understand why they were so loyal to Lin Luo!

The three ghosts gave him no time to think, swarming him in a frenzy.

The Elevator Ghost soon suffered grievous injuries.

His entire ghostly body began to turn indistinct.

That filled the Elevator Ghost with bitter hatred.

He blamed Lin Luo for everything.

"You damned insect! You dared to plot against me! Even if I die, I'll take you to the grave with me!"

His eyes bloodshot, the Elevator Ghost recklessly channeled his ghost power.

In an instant.

His once-indistinct ghostly body swelled like an inflated ball of blood, expanding at a terrifying speed.

At the sight, the three ghosts, who had been brimming with murderous intent, all backed away.

The Elevator Ghost was going to detonate his ghostly body.

If they stayed too close, they might perish as well!

"You damned insect, there's a steep price for plotting against me! Come to hell with me!"

The Elevator Ghost snarled hideously.

He was in no hurry to detonate himself.

He wanted to see Lin Luo's face consumed by terror.

But he was destined to be disappointed.
