Slaying the Ghost

From start to finish, Lin Luo's expression remained calm and unruffled.

This only infuriated the Elevator Ghost further.

"You filthy bug! You're about to die, and you're still putting on airs!"

As he spoke, the Elevator Ghost tried to detonate his ghostly body and take Lin Luo with him.

But in the next instant, his expression twisted, and his two ghostly eyes filled with terror.

His body, which had swollen into a ball of blood, returned to normal as well.

"Trying to die? It won't be that easy."

Just then, the Security Guard Ghost appeared like a phantom, his face dark and vicious, and stood in front of Lin Luo.

At the sight, the Elevator Ghost nearly lost his soul to fright.

Only now did he finally understand why he had failed to persuade those three ghosts to turn against Lin Luo and kill him.

Lin Luo had taken precautions all along.

The Security Guard Ghost was at the fierce ghost level.

They stood no chance against him.

"Brother Security Guard, whatever this filthy bug paid you to help him, I'll pay double."

The Elevator Ghost knew that he and Lin Luo were now locked in a fight to the death.

Rather than beg Lin Luo for mercy, he turned to the Security Guard Ghost, trying to find a sliver of hope.

But in response, thick black mist surged from the Security Guard Ghost's body and instantly engulfed the Elevator Ghost.

The gap in their strength was enormous.

The Elevator Ghost did not even have time to dodge.

Wherever the thick black mist touched him, his flesh began to melt, exposing stark white bones.

The excruciating pain made the Elevator Ghost let out piercing screams.

"A mere little ghost dares to bribe me? How utterly laughable."

A murderous gleam flashed in the Security Guard Ghost's eyes.

Since his eye condition had been cured.

The Security Guard Ghost had yet to make a move.

This Elevator Ghost was the perfect test subject.

Seeing that the Security Guard Ghost would not relent, the Elevator Ghost tried to flee in terror.

But the Security Guard Ghost had already seen through his intentions.

The thick black mist spread over a vast area.

In the blink of an eye.

The black mist swallowed the Elevator Ghost.

The corrosive ghost power made the Elevator Ghost howl in agony.

But he could not break free at all.

He dissolved into a pile of white bones before their very eyes.

A chill wind drifted past.

The bones crumbled into debris in the wind.

As though he had never existed.

At the sight, even the three ghosts who bore a blood feud against the Elevator Ghost trembled in fear.

A ghost at the fierce ghost level.

Was truly terrifying.

Crushing the Elevator Ghost, even as he tried to take everyone down with him.

Had been effortless.

But what terrified the three ghosts even more was the human named Lin Luo.

Even an unruly Ferocious Ghost like the Security Guard Ghost willingly helped him, proving that Lin Luo was far stronger than they had imagined.

The Elevator Ghost, who had offended Lin Luo.

Had already become a cautionary example.

"Should I kill these three ghosts too?"

The Security Guard Ghost asked Lin Luo.

He had already developed a taste for killing.

These three ghosts ought to provide him with a little amusement.

His words, however, nearly scared the souls out of the three ghosts.

If Lin Luo really agreed.

Their souls would undoubtedly be annihilated.

"There's no need."

Lin Luo shook his head.

He was not a man who went back on his word. The Elevator Ghost had single-handedly stirred up the conflict between him and these three ghosts.

Since the culprit had already been punished.

There was no need for him to keep pressing the issue.

At those words, the three terrified ghosts finally let out heavy sighs of relief.

"You're a benevolent man, sir. I, Yanru, am willing to become your Ghost Slave."

Liu Yanru was the first to declare her intentions.

Now that she had avenged her great grudge.

She would willingly submit to Lin Luo's command and control.

Her words stunned both Wang Lei and Liu Xueru.

In terms of strength.

Liu Yanru was stronger than either of them.

If she continued to stay in the Abandoned Building.

She might someday absorb enough resentment to reach the Vicious Ghost tier.

But if she became Lin Luo's Ghost Slave, she could be sent to die for him at any moment.

They truly could not understand why Liu Yanru would make such a decision.

But afraid of angering Lin Luo, they could only follow her example.

"We're willing to become your Ghost Slaves too, sir."

Hearing this, Lin Luo accepted their offer without ceremony and took out the contracts.

Unlike a Companion Ghost.

Under a Ghost Slave Contract.

A Ghost Tamer would suffer no backlash and would hold power over the Ghost Slave's life and death.

A single thought could annihilate a Ghost Slave's soul.

With the Security Guard Ghost intimidating them.

The three ghosts did not dare try any tricks.

They all signed Ghost Slave Contracts with Lin Luo.

"Master."

Once they signed the Ghost Slave Contracts, the three ghosts' gazes became deeply reverent.

This was submission from the soul itself.

"Here's your first task: look for the Drunkard Ghost. Notify me as soon as you learn anything."

As for the task Lin Luo assigned them.

The three ghosts immediately agreed and set off to act.

Once everything was arranged, Lin Luo left the Abandoned Building with the Security Guard Ghost.

"Brother Security Guard, thanks for your help today. Let's have a meal at the cafeteria."

This time, he owed it all to the Security Guard Ghost's help.

Otherwise, faced with an Elevator Ghost determined to take him down in mutual destruction.

Even Lin Luo might have been injured.

"Sure. I'll take you up on that."

The Security Guard Ghost readily agreed.

He had wanted to win Lin Luo over and build a closer relationship with him anyway.

Naturally, he would not refuse.

Afterward, Lin Luo and the Security Guard Ghost headed to the cafeteria.

Inevitably, they encountered ghosts along the way.

Seeing Lin Luo chatting and laughing with the Security Guard Ghost, the ghosts who had intended to block their path looked shocked.

The Security Guard Ghost.

Was a vengeful ghost tier ghost at Yellow Springs Hospital.

He had a brutal disposition, and no small number of ghosts had died at his hands.

Yet now he was treating a human so kindly.

It was simply inconceivable.

With no ghosts blocking his path.

Lin Luo reached the cafeteria without trouble.

The moment he entered, the two Chef Ghosts greeted him enthusiastically.

"Lin Luo, you're late today. Hungry, aren't you? We've already prepared your meal."

"Would you like some Netherworld Wine? We can open a bottle for you too."

In response to the two Chef Ghosts, Lin Luo smiled politely and said, "Sorry for the trouble, both of you."

"We're friends. There's no need to be so polite."

The two Chef Ghosts waved their hands as they spoke.

Even the Security Guard Ghost beside him was moved by the sight.

He had thought it impressive enough that Lin Luo was close to the Director Ghost and had even established a connection with the Hospital Director Ghost.

He had never expected him to be friends with the cafeteria's Chef Ghosts too.

His social skills were truly remarkable.

"Brothers, has that Drunkard Ghost been here?"

Lin Luo's main purpose in coming here was to find the Drunkard Ghost.

At his question, the two Chef Ghosts instinctively nodded.

"He came by an hour ago."

"Same as always, buying wine on credit."

At this point, both Chef Ghosts were speechless.

The Drunkard Ghost was clearly powerful enough.

Yet his behavior hardly befitted a powerful Ferocious Ghost.

"Did he say where he was going?"

Lin Luo asked next.

This time, however, the two Chef Ghosts shook their heads in unison.

"That Drunkard Ghost isn't bound by Yellow Springs Hospital's rules. He can go anywhere."

"I'm afraid finding him won't be easy."
