Seeing the black mist rushing towards him, Luo Chao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and an overwhelming killing intent surged from his entire body, instantly locking onto the black mist!

However, just as Luo Chao was preparing to battle the black mist for three hundred rounds, the black mist suddenly paused eerily in mid-air!

Then, it suddenly recoiled backward and once again darted into Yu Xiaoling's body!

After the black mist entered Yu Xiaoling's body, Yu Xiaoling's previously unconscious body suddenly stood up in a way that defied human physiology!

"Who are you really, and how can you have such strong killing intent?!"

Possessed Yu Xiaoling floated with her toes off the ground, opened her upturned eyes, and raised a powerless arm to point at Luo Chao.

Luo Chao did not answer but instead took a step forward and sternly shouted, "I don't care whether you're human or ghost, let go of Yu Xiaoling, or don't blame me for being rude."

"Heh heh, you're indeed not an ordinary person, but what can you do to me?" With that, "Yu Xiaoling" stretched out her right hand, scratched fiercely at her left forearm, and five crimson streaks of blood immediately appeared on her skin.

This self-harming act of "Yu Xiaoling" made Luo Chao instantly realize what was going on.

Yes, what can I really do to it?

This thing is a ghost, seeing its black mist-like true form, it's clear that physical attacks are completely ineffective!

Besides, it's currently possessing Yu Xiaoling; I can't attack Yu Xiaoling's body, or I'd be putting the cart before the horse!

Thinking of this, Luo Chao had to restrain his killing intent, calm down, and said in a gentle manner, "Well... I'll just call you Miss Ghost. Miss Ghost, if I can find a way that doesn't cost Yu Xiaoling's life and can preserve her Spirit Root so she can keep playing with you, would you let her go?"

"Yu Xiaoling" heard this, thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "Heh heh, fine, but I only give you six hours. By twelve o'clock tonight, if you haven't thought of a way, I will personally send Yu Xiaoling on her way! Let her be trapped with me in this hospital!"

...

With the door of the operating room pushed open, Luo Chao gloomily walked out.

"How did it go, Mr. Luo, is the surgery completed? Did you encounter anything strange?" Doctor Xu was the first to ask upon seeing Luo Chao.

Luo Chao did not reply but instead asked Doctor Xu, "Doctor Xu, where is the operating room key?"

"Oh... it's here." Doctor Xu quickly pulled out a key from his pocket.

Luo Chao took the key, said nothing, and turned to lock the operating room.

"Master, you... Yu Xiaoling is still in there, isn't she!" Jiang Lianqing couldn't help asking when he saw Luo Chao's unusual behavior.

Luo Chao glanced at them and solemnly said, "From now on, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter this operating room!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, then at Luo Chao's serious expression, and got a general idea of what might have happened.

Sure enough, something terrifying must have happened in that operating room just now!

"I need to take care of some matters, Dean Jiang, Doctor Xu, I leave this place to you." After saying that, Luo Chao hurriedly left the hospital.

Lives are at stake, time was extremely pressing, and Luo Chao had to take immediate action!

Everything that happened just now was completely beyond Luo Chao's comprehension.

Despite witnessing many strange events during his four years with the Dragon Fang Team, he'd never actually encountered a ghost before!

Before today, Luo Chao absolutely did not believe in the existence of ghosts in the world, but everything that happened today forced him to believe!

Events Luo Chao had faced prior were always resolved with his experience and strength, but today's incident went beyond Luo Chao's capabilities.

For some reason, Luo Chao thought of one person right now—Tang Tianyi!

Perhaps because Tang Tianyi once used a mere small device to resolve what seemed to the ordinary eye a terrifying bug issue.

Luo Chao had a gut feeling that maybe Tang Tianyi, this 100% logical-minded tech genius, might have some unexpectedly good ideas.

As he walked, Luo Chao pulled out his phone and made a call to Tang Tianyi.

The call was connected, and Tang Tianyi's emotionless voice came through, "Hello, what is it?"

"Miss Tang, it's Luo Chao. Where are you now?"

"In the laboratory."

"Where's your lab located? I need to discuss something really urgent with you right now."

"Tell me first what it is, I don't want to waste my precious time on something trivial."

"Heh heh, Miss Tang, do you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"

"Ghosts?" Tang Tianyi on the other end frowned slightly, "I believe."

"What, you believe? You really do?!" Luo Chao was baffled.

He initially prepared a lengthy speech to persuade Tang Tianyi, yet this 100% logic-driven, science-upholding tech genius so easily accepted the existence of ghosts.

"Why wouldn't I believe it? From a scientific perspective, ghosts are merely another form of energy body." Tang Tianyi's voice remained cold.

With her saying that, Luo Chao felt somewhat reassured, it seemed he indeed found the right person.

"Heh heh, Miss Tang, quickly tell me your lab's address, let's talk in person, I guarantee you'll find it intriguing!"

As expected, Tang Tianyi indeed found Luo Chao's words intriguing.

After getting the address to Tang Tianyi's lab, Luo Chao casually hailed a cab and, after a thirty-minute ride, arrived at the doorstep of Tang Tianyi's lab.

Tang Tianyi's lab was located in the suburbs of Huahai City, and as soon as Luo Chao got out of the car, he felt an eerie silence surrounding him, desolate and uninhabited.

In front of him stood an isolated and abandoned villa, without a trace of a high-tech lab in sight.

Just when Luo Chao was feeling puzzled, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Hey, young man, you haven't paid yet!" Apparently, it was the taxi driver calling out to him.

"Oh, sorry about that, driver, it's my first time here, a bit disoriented!" Luo Chao scratched his head, pulling a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handing it to the driver, "Keep the change, these roads are tough to drive, your job isn't easy either."

The taxi driver happily accepted the hundred-yuan bill and then said, "Young man, seeing how reasonable you are, let me give you a piece of advice!"

"Hmm, what do you mean?" Luo Chao was a bit curious.

The taxi driver pointed at the desolate villa before Luo Chao, and with a serious expression, said, "Young man, although I don't know why you're here, here's a word of advice: don't go into that villa!"
