Hearing this, Lin Luo felt a wave of helplessness.
The Drunkard Ghost was not bound by Yellow Springs Hospital's rules.
That certainly made him harder to find.
But it also hinted at just how extraordinary the Drunkard Ghost was.
Lin Luo did not rush off to continue searching for the Drunkard Ghost.
Instead, he went with the Security Guard Ghost and enjoyed a good meal.
This gesture deeply touched the Security Guard Ghost beside him.
He could tell Lin Luo was eager to find the Drunkard Ghost.
Yet Lin Luo had still made time to accept his invitation.
He had kept his word.
At that thought, the Security Guard Ghost looked at Lin Luo with even greater approval.
He was convinced Lin Luo was destined for great things!
After eating and drinking his fill.
Lin Luo politely declined the Security Guard Ghost's offer to accompany him.
He went alone to the Morgue on the first basement level.
Relying on the Security Guard Ghost for help all the time would certainly make things easier.
But it would also defeat the purpose of the challenge.
As Lin Luo stepped into the elevator.
On the elevator wall.
An unfamiliar, ugly ghost face emerged.
"Little bug, hand over your Ghost Coins, or I'll trap you here until you die!"
Since the Elevator Ghost had been tricked to his death.
Yellow Springs Hospital had assigned another ghost to operate the elevator.
But faced with this ghost's threat, Lin Luo said nothing and slammed his fist into the elevator wall.
A surge of ghost power.
Made the ghost howl in pain.
"You filthy bug! So you're a Ghost Tamer. Don't get cocky, though. You dared to hurt me-the department head won't let you get away with it!"
The new Elevator Ghost tried to frighten Lin Luo by invoking his immediate superior.
But his words only made Lin Luo's smile turn colder.
"Go ahead and try. Tell him 9527 attacked you, and see whether the department head helps you."
At those words, the previously vicious Elevator Ghost froze.
His ugly ghost eyes filled with terror.
The previous ghost in charge of the elevator had offended a human whose number was 9527.
And his soul had been utterly destroyed as a result.
He had also heard that the human was on good terms with the hospital's senior staff.
Even the Hospital Director had to show him some respect.
At that thought, the Elevator Ghost grew even more frightened, trembling so badly he could barely speak.
If he truly angered this ruthless man.
He would be as good as dead.
"Sir, I was blind and ran my filthy mouth. Please forgive me."
The Elevator Ghost was clearly terrified and shook all over.
Seeing the ghost cower, Lin Luo stopped arguing with him and asked coldly, "Tell me, have you seen a ghost who loves drinking more than life itself?"
"I haven't encountered him, but I've heard other ghosts mention him. That Drunkard Ghost is very mysterious. He can reach the hospital's first basement level without taking the elevator."
Utterly terrified of Lin Luo, the Elevator Ghost dared not hide anything and hurried to answer.
Lin Luo could not help frowning at that. If that was the case, finding the Drunkard Ghost really would be difficult.
Seeing this, the Elevator Ghost pondered for a moment, then gave an ingratiating smile.
"If you're looking for that Drunkard Ghost, I can ask other ghosts to help."
The Elevator Ghost was bent on winning Lin Luo's favor.
But his words did soften Lin Luo's expression.
"All right, sorry for the trouble. Take me to the first basement level first."
At those words, the Elevator Ghost secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally saved his own life.
To avoid angering this ruthless man, the Elevator Ghost dared not slack off in the slightest and hurriedly took Lin Luo to his destination.
As Lin Luo stepped out of the elevator.
The terrified ghost smiled with the relief of someone who had narrowly escaped disaster.
Thankfully, he had not completely infuriated this ruthless man.
"Take care, sir."
The Elevator Ghost called out ingratiatingly.
Lin Luo nodded and left.
Along the only route to the Morgue.
Lin Luo gradually sensed that something was wrong.
The temperature around him plummeted.
Clearly, Lin Luo had encountered another ghost.
But he was no longer the same person who had first arrived at Yellow Springs Hospital. Even with a ghost blocking his path, he could remain calm.
Lin Luo had thought the ghost following him would hide in the shadows.
And play tricks with a ghost wall.
But the result took Lin Luo by surprise.
The ghost approached Lin Luo head-on, making no attempt to hide.
Lin Luo took a closer look.
The ghost looked just like an elderly granny.
At first glance, she seemed unremarkable.
But on closer inspection.
He could see that her eyes had been gouged out. Her empty sockets sent chills down his spine.
"Young man, help me find my eyeballs."
The old woman's voice was sharp and grating.
Standing close to her, Lin Luo instinctively covered his ears.
"Hurry and find my eyeballs."
The old woman continued.
This time, however, her voice grew even shriller, leaving Lin Luo's eardrums buzzing.
Clearly, this old woman was a ghost.
Finding her eyeballs.
Was the rule she had established.
If Lin Luo failed to find the old woman's eyeballs.
The ghost would use that as a reason to kill him.
"What do I get for helping you find your eyeballs?"
Lin Luo asked, unruffled by the danger.
The old woman visibly froze at his words.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Every human she had latched onto before.
Had panicked.
In the end, their eyeballs had been gouged out, and they had died on the spot.
"Interesting. Then I'll grant you one wish, you filthy bug."
The old woman gave a sinister smile.
She did not believe for a moment that Lin Luo could do it.
In truth, the old woman's eyeballs had been lost long ago.
As far as she was concerned, if even she could not find them, a filthy bug she regarded as an ant certainly lacked the ability.
"All right. It's a deal, then."
Feigning enthusiasm, Lin Luo patted the old woman's shoulder.
As he did so, Lin Luo discreetly used his thumb.
Emotion Stitching took effect.
The old woman, who had been intensely hostile toward Lin Luo, suddenly felt wonderfully at ease.
"Filthy bug, let me warn you: my eyeballs are very hard to find. If you can't find them, just leave one of your eyes as compensation."
Thanks to Emotion Stitching, the ghost's desire to kill Lin Luo had faded as well.
"All right. I'll do my best."
Lin Luo nodded solemnly.
His attitude pleased the old woman quite a bit, and she even began to feel a flicker of hope in him.
While talking with the old woman.
Lin Luo also used Crimson Demon Finger to look through the Granny Ghost's memories.
The old woman had endured a life of hardship. Her husband had died young, and she had struggled to raise their only son. After finally seeing him marry and establish himself, fate had dealt her another crushing blow.
Her son and daughter-in-law had been killed in a car accident while on their honeymoon.
With no family left, the old woman could only be sent to a nursing home.
Her tragic life had left her blind from crying, and in the end, she had died of a sudden, severe illness.
Even Lin Luo could feel the profound sorrow as he looked through her memories.
Fate had never treated her kindly. The old woman truly had suffered terribly.
"Filthy bug, how do you plan to find my eyeballs?"
Seeing that Lin Luo still had not acted, the Granny Ghost was clearly displeased.
She thought Lin Luo was stalling.
