Last night when Yu Yu pushed open the fifth-floor door, Yu Chi immediately sensed an overwhelming presence.

And on the fifth floor, there was only the hospital director.

Given that this person possessed such formidable power yet allowed him to survive here all along, combined with what Yu Li had previously revealed about Bo Jingmo's connection with that malevolent ghost...

Yu Chi could easily deduce that the director likely intended to use him to eliminate that evil spirit.

The smile on his lips grew increasingly pronounced.

This hospital director probably wasn't exactly normal either.

So now that the man had come knocking, there was no need for Yu Chi to keep hiding.

Moreover, Yu Chi had a premonition - the director undoubtedly wanted him to kill that ghost. At this thought, his body trembled with excitement, his voice bordering on fanaticism: "Please give your instructions."

Once he killed that evil ghost and absorbed its power, nothing in this hospital could restrain him anymore.

As for Bo Jingmo and that woman, they would simply become easy prey.

The man stood motionless, his cold eyes looking down at the male ghost on the floor, though his pocketed hands trembled slightly.

The backlash from the curse had already begun affecting him.

He slowly approached Yu Chi. "How confident are you in your current power to kill that ghost?"

Hearing this question, Yu Chi momentarily froze before lowering his gaze. "It's been a long time since I last saw that ghost. His presence has been extremely faint recently—I don't know whether he's hiding or injured. If we were to fight now, I might still be slightly lacking."

Remembering Yu Li's identity and existence, Yu Chi narrowed his eyes and silently closed his mouth.

Bo Jingmo didn't press further, merely glancing sideways at Yu Yu beside him.

"Would adding this person's soul be sufficient?"

These words stunned both Yu Chi and Yu Yu.

Kneeling on the ground, Yu Chi dumbly raised his head to look at Yu Yu, who quickly regained her senses. Her face paled as she retreated several steps: "Director... you..."

Meeting Yu Chi's gaze, her pupils contracted: "Xiao Chi..."

But the young man before her simply stared blankly and emotionlessly opened his mouth:

"Enough."

A normal human's soul was far healthier than those medicine-dependent patients.

Hearing this, Yu Yu felt as if struck by lightning, standing frozen in place.

After a long moment, her lips trembled as she whispered: "I'm your sister... and your power actually comes from killing people?"

No wonder so many had died on the fourth floor. They'd always thought it was due to illness, but it turned out her younger brother had personally killed them?

And... the director knew about all this too?

Yu Yu could hardly believe what she was hearing.

She didn't know whether she felt more fear... or disappointment and anger.

Bo Jingmo withdrew his gaze, offering no explanation as he stepped aside for Yu Chi.

Yu Chi slowly rose from the floor, murmuring word by word: "I'm sorry... sis. You said you would help me."

Though he apologized, the smile on his face was utterly deranged.

Yu Yu's breath caught: "Madmen..."

Both of them were complete madmen!

Without thinking, she immediately turned to flee.

Seeing her run, Yu Chi grew even more excited, like watching prey making futile struggles against inevitable capture.

"Sis, it's useless. You can't escape."

As these words fell, the youth's body instantly transformed into a wisp of smoke, streaking forward like lightning—so fast it was nearly invisible—before rematerializing and violently reaching for Yu Yu's back.

Sensing the killing intent behind her, Yu Yu's heart clenched, her legs instantly giving out. Just as she was about to collapse, at this critical moment, a dark mist suddenly appeared from nowhere, coiling around her waist and swiftly pulling her away down the corridor.

Watching his prey slip away, Yu Chi's expression turned extremely ugly. Staring at the dark mist, he gritted out three words through clenched teeth:

"Bo! Jing! Mo!"

That male ghost actually still had power to interfere.

Just as he prepared to give chase, a calm voice sounded behind him.

"Enough."

Footsteps approached from behind. As Yu Chi turned, an immense force suddenly gripped his neck, flipping his entire world upside down.

By the time he realized what happened, he was already pinned to the ground by his throat, while a searing pain spread from his neck as if his soul was being roasted over flames.

Yu Chi froze, his pupils constricting violently as he gritted his teeth and turned his head: "What the hell are you doing!?"

The man's expression remained indifferent. The bandage on his wrist had somehow come undone, fresh blood slowly trickling down his arm until it dripped onto Yu Chi.

The crimson blood burned like molten lava, gradually consuming and burning Yu Chi's soul. He gasped sharply: "Let me go!"

Bo Jingmo lowered his gaze, his beautiful features like an unfeeling celestial being calmly observing everything as his thin lips parted: "You cannot stay."

Bo Jingmo had changed his mind.

If this ghost could attack Yu Yu, it proved he had completely lost any conscience.

Should anything happen to himself in the future, leaving Yu Li alone would undoubtedly make her this ghost's next target.

So he needed to eliminate all threats.

Meanwhile, Yu Chi was practically grinding his teeth in fury—damn it, he'd never met someone like this.

Even if you burn bridges after crossing the river, you should at least cross it first! Not to mention that evil ghost wasn't even dead yet!

Dropping all pretense, he snarled through clenched teeth: "Bo Jingmo! If you kill me, do you really think you can kill that evil ghost alone? Without me, you'll never destroy him!"

But the man only responded indifferently: "Killing you will suffice."

Yu Chi froze, not comprehending the meaning, when an excruciating pain suddenly erupted from his neck—as if every bone in his body was being shattered while his heart was violently crushed.

His soul's power began rapidly draining away.

Eyes widening, he instantly screamed: "STOP!!! STOP!! BO JINGMO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP NOW!!"

An endless stream of power flowed from Yu Chi's body, channeled through golden threads into Bo Jingmo.

Yet Bo Jingmo wasn't as composed as he appeared—his face had paled, lips pressed tightly together, forehead damp with sweat as his body trembled uncontrollably.

He couldn't possibly withstand this much power, blood pouring endlessly from his wrist.

Meanwhile, Yu Chi—who had been writhing in agony on the floor—suddenly curved his lips, his clouded eyes flashing with eerie light.

A door opened behind them. Sensing something, Bo Jingmo turned to see a patient suddenly appear behind him, raising a chair high overhead.

His expression hardened as he had no choice but to interrupt the ritual, rolling aside to avoid the descending chair.

Feeling the restraint loosen, Yu Chi instantly transformed into smoke and vanished from sight.

Only the youth's mocking laughter echoed through the corridor:

"Bo Jingmo, did you really think killing me would be easier than killing that ghost?"

"And thanks to your attack, I've already learned how to destroy that evil spirit!"
