Chapter 378: Chapter 259: Encountering a Female Ghost!_2

"Director, a female ghost has been spotted in the city, right on Guoluo Road, and it seems she’s heading towards Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital!"

Upon hearing this, the director was instantly shocked:

"Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital? Has that Third-Level Female Ghost gone mad? I heard that a few ghosts went there in the past few years but they were silently eliminated. It’s considered a no-go zone for ghosts!"

"Up until now, no one has figured out what wiped out those three ghosts, I suspect there’s something even more sinister lurking inside..."

Bai Song strongly suggested:

"The Second-Level Female Ghost that fled has already killed more than a dozen of our Awakeners. Whether it’s dealing with that Second-Level Female Ghost or the specter hiding in the psychiatric hospital, this time we must get a C-Level Awakener to take action, no matter what!"

The talents of Awakeners are classified into five levels: S, A, B, C, D, and E, with the strongest known level being C. Even a C-Level is a proud darling of the heavens, who does not easily make a move.

And yet Bai Song had put forth this suggestion, which clearly indicated that the situation had become extremely urgent.

Chain-smoking, the director stared in the direction of Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital, hesitated for a long time, and finally issued an order amidst everyone’s anticipation:

"Request C-Level Awakener Zong Mengyuan to take action immediately and take care of that Second-Level Female Ghost at Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital!"

-------------------

At Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital,

a nurse pushed the door open and snapped on the light.

"Who’s still not sleeping? Li Ping’an, can’t sleep, huh? If you can’t sleep, go clean the therapy room!"

Patients at Ivy Psychiatric Hospital all have their own therapy rooms, which they use for classes and treatments on a regular basis.

"3, 3, I am 3, please respond if you hear me, please respond, I think I’ve been discovered, quickly notify Li Yunlong to save me!"

A nurse couldn’t stand it anymore; originally, just the talk of ghosts scared her, and now Li Ping’an’s racket was keeping them from leaving.

She strutted over angrily and knocked the boot from Li Ping’an’s hands.

"If you don’t behave, you won’t get chicken legs to eat tomorrow!"

Seeing his "communication device" knocked away, Li Ping’an was about to fly into a rage, but the moment he heard he wouldn’t get chicken legs, his spirits deflated, and he dejectedly took a mop and headed for the therapy room.

Seeing this, the two nurses breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced outside at the pitch-dark scene and hurriedly ran away, frightened.

Inside an Ivy therapy room.

Li Ping’an walked in, turned on the light, and began to clean.

Suddenly, he looked around, quickly ran to shut the door, then took off his remaining sock and crouched under the table.

"Hey, 3, 3, I am 3, please respond if you hear me, please respond!"

But just then,

the lights in the therapy room began to flicker strangely, creating an exceptionally eerie atmosphere.

At the same time, occasionally there were gusts of wind outside the door, bringing with them a nauseating stench.

Moreover, a shadowy figure drifted back and forth outside the door, barely visible, its feet not touching the ground...

Thump thump thump!

Suddenly, there came a knocking sound from outside the door.

"I know it! It must be Second Senior Brother riding his Red Hare horse to save me!"

Excited, Li Ping’an tried to stand up but hit his head on the underside of the table.

Thump thump thump!

The knocking continued.

Li Ping’an rubbed his sore head and climbed out, fuming as he walked to the therapy room door.

"Knock knock knock, knock your sister!"

Thump thump thump!

The knocking persisted.

"Coming! Are you crazy or what? So annoying!"

He strode over in three large steps, flung the door open,

and there stood a bruised-faced woman with wet, messy hair that seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, strands of seaweed faintly visible in it.

She was eyeing Li Ping’an up and down with a greedy look:

"Such a unique body, a rare delicacy, much tastier than those dozen Awakeners..."

At the same time, a foul odor wafted from her, as thick green droplets of water fell to the floor like they were free.

"Looking so battered, you don’t seem to be from my Imperial Palace, huh? Are you new here?"

"Oh, I get it, my takeout is here, with this stench it must be stinky tofu!"

[Insulting a Second-Level Water Ghost, Courting Death Value +20, Friendly reminder: Second-Level Water Ghost, born from drowning, danger rating: three stars.]

A normal person would avoid ghosts at all costs, but Li Ping’an is insane; the concept of ghosts does not exist in his mind.

Li Ping’an looked at the female ghost with disdain, completely unmoved.

The female ghost was also surprised. Why was this man not the least bit afraid of her?

The next second, Li Ping’an reached out towards the female ghost:

"Where’s my takeout? Give it to me!"

[Courting death successfully, Courting Death Value +20]

"Ah!"

The Female Ghost opened her swollen mouth and yelled at Li Ping’an.

"Smack!"

Li Ping’an gave her a slap straightaway.

"Aaah, damn it, are you frickin’ mating or what?"

"Can’t you understand human language, you stinky tofu?!"

[Attacking Female Ghost, Courting Death Value +30]

The Female Ghost was slapped silly onto the ground, and she got up with some annoyance.

Who was she? A dignified Second-Level Water Ghost, and she would let a lunatic bully her? Unbearable!

The Female Ghost let out a long howl, and her mouth opened completely, the red flesh broken but connected, as countless mist escaped from her body.

She was furious, she wanted to bite off the head of the man in front of her, scatter his soul, making him unable to even be a ghost.

But as the Female Ghost’s formidable aura began to rise, the droplets on the floor strangely surged into the treatment room as if alive.

"I was punished to clean the treatment room, you’ve got the nerve, huh? Making such a mess, I’ll beat you up first, then call your leader!"

Li Ping’an then started to chant with something in his hand:

"Binding Whiplash!"

The dignified Second-Level Female Ghost suddenly couldn’t move, her face of terror revealing a hint of shock:

"Such a powerful Awakener!"

Seeing this, Li Ping’an casually picked up a bench and hit the Female Ghost’s face hard!

"How many times do I have to tell you, don’t mess with the mentally ill!"

Gululu!

With Li Ping’an’s full-force blow, half of the Female Ghost’s head was knocked off.

But the next second, the half head rolled around and then grew back.

"You’re doing magic tricks, huh? I’ll show you magic tricks, magic tricks!"

With a series of kicks and curses, the Female Ghost was beaten into immobility.

Two tears slipped from the corners of her eyes:

What was this situation? More than a dozen E-level Awakeners were no match for her, and she was subdued by a lunatic with a single sentence?

--------------

"Headquarters, I’ve detected a Second-Level Water Ghost, I’m going to eliminate it now!"

C-level Awakener Zong Mengyuan had already arrived at Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital, and was reporting to his superiors.

"Be careful; we’ve already lost dozens of brothers to it. By the way, inside Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital there seems to be..."

Zong Mengyuan, looking at the serene Hehuang Psychiatric Hospital, arrogantly said:

"Enough, enough, I know what to do. Wait for my good news!"

Afterward, like a hunter who relishes the hunt, Zong Mengyuan walked in confidently, searching for the Second-Level Female Ghost.

----------------

"This is the place!"

Zong Mengyuan arrived at the door of a treatment room, gently pushed it open, and peered through the crack to see a scene that puzzled him.

"Yo, you dare to glare at me? Glare, glare again!"

Li Ping’an pretended to hit, and the Female Ghost quickly ducked into a corner, burying her head in her arms.

"Go, clean up the treatment room."

The Female Ghost shakily nodded her head and began to clean the treatment room under Li Ping’an’s direction.

After a while, once the treatment room was cleaned, Li Ping’an looked at the spanking new room and nodded with satisfaction.

Just as the Female Ghost was about to leave.

"Stop right there."

She shivered and turned her head back.

"Go sit in your place, it’s time for class."

The Female Ghost wanted to refuse, but seeing the bench in Li Ping’an’s hands, she still bravely shuffled to the spot he pointed at.

"Come on, now I’m going to start teaching you."

Li Ping’an, holding the bench, stood at the podium with an air of seriousness.

The Female Ghost looked up curiously and saw a long string of Arabic numerals written on the blackboard.
