This actor is full of tricks.

"Pocket watch..."

"The one who stole the director's pocket watch must be the predecessor. He hid the pocket watch in the Eternal Night Tower, which is why the mental hospital made such a fuss."

"Did the predecessor discover the significance of that pocket watch? What exactly is it to the dean?"

Lin Jue walked through the corridor filled with corpses. As soon as he stepped onto the third floor, he was attacked again, this time by a male ghost wielding scissors.

The other party was probably a surviving resident from the third floor. He was quite strong, reaching the D-level, but he was still no match for Lin Jue. He slapped the other party away with one hand. He didn't kill him because the residents of Yongye Tower were all taken in by his predecessor and might become his helpers in the future.

"What's going on upstairs?" He walked over, helped the male ghost who had fallen to the ground and was groaning, and even very considerately patted the dust off the male ghost.

The male ghost was completely bewildered by Lin Jue's series of actions. Just now, his brains had almost been slapped out by the other party, but in the blink of an eye, this terrifying doctor had changed into a kind and gentle demeanor.

"Why are you asking this?" The male ghost looked wary. Never trust a smiling stranger; this was a lesson his current manager had taught him.

"I'm here to help you." Lin Jue straightened the other person's slightly disheveled clothes. "Don't be fooled by my white coat. I'm actually your helper. Your current manager, He Wen, is my friend's daughter, so she's practically my niece. I'm here to take her back at my friend's request."

"You don't need to ask too much else. You just need to know that I'm not an enemy. Also, tell me what happened before."

The male ghost remained wary, but fearing that Lin Jue might kill him, he told him everything he knew.

"Not long ago, a group of uninvited guests broke into the building. As soon as they entered, they began to kill indiscriminately. Led by a man who controlled lightning, they went upstairs and killed almost every resident they passed."

"But a guy in a raincoat also broke in and killed a lot of nurses and doctors. They fought their way up the building, but I don't know which floor exactly, and I didn't dare to go and check."

Upon hearing the male ghost's words, Lin Jue sensed something was amiss, because He Wen had not appeared. As the current manager of the Eternal Night Tower, why would that little girl allow the tower to descend into such chaos without taking any action to stop it?

Lin Jue asked, "Where's He Wen? Why isn't she making a move?"

"The boss left temporarily a few days ago, saying she was going to the depths of the mist. She hasn't returned yet. This building is temporarily being managed by a guy covered in blood, but that guy is mostly asleep. Even after causing such a big incident, he hasn't shown any signs of waking up. I wonder if he's gone straight to lie down with the King of Hell."

I didn't realize the male ghost had a knack for dark humor; he told a rather lame joke.

He Wen also went into the depths of the mist, Bi Zheng also went there, and Sun Jiankang also escaped into the mist. The lock was attracting the children of the mist to approach.

"The blood-covered guy the male ghost mentioned should be Blood Shadow. If he were the only one in the building, he wouldn't have been able to stop those people from the mental hospital. However, Fu Yu joined the battle. But why did Fu Yu come here?"

Lin Jue patted the male ghost on the shoulder and hurried towards the fourth floor while pondering.

A fierce battle was breaking out on the fourth floor. The screams he had heard outside earlier were coming from here. He saw many familiar faces here, including Wu Fang in a black dress and his landlord with a lewd look on his face.

These strange creatures, emanating from Fu Yu's raincoat, are teaming up with the residents of the building to fight against a group of living people dressed in white coats. "Another guy in white is here! Brothers, follow me and kill him!"

The salesman, clutching blood-stained banknotes, noticed Lin Jue coming upstairs. He raised his arms and shouted, leading a group of residents to rush towards Lin Jue.

Lin Jue pulled out a wrench that he hadn't used in a long time from his backpack, weighed it in his hand, and found it still very handy despite not having used it for a long time.

Upon seeing the familiar wrench, the salesman shuddered, his forward momentum halting abruptly. He frantically retreated, shouting as he went, "Brothers, we can't beat this guy! Jump off the building!"

Clearly, he recognized Lin Jue's identity through the wrench; his keen eye was far superior to that of someone who merely looked at colorful things, a fundamental quality for a salesperson.

The residents didn't understand why the guy who led the charge had turned around and run away, and instead continued to rush towards Lin Jue.

Lin Jue rolled up his raincoat and released the old man and the others: "Don't kill them."

The old man and the mirror ghost were alright, but the chef ghost had just joined and was only good at cooking. He had never seen anything like this before. Seeing a large group of fierce ghosts rushing over, he screamed in fright and tried to run away using both his hands and feet.

Lin Jue immediately brought it back: "Although you only have a side job, as a member of our team, you should contribute to the team."

He pointed to the old man and the female ghost in the mirror: "These two are very reliable helpers. Our team motto is equality, unity, harmony and mutual assistance. If you encounter danger, they will help you."

Looking at the group of fierce monsters charging towards him, the old man pondered and said, "Girl, I have a plan. Let's have this fat chef go first. He's tough and can definitely take it. We can just stay behind him and deal damage."

"If he can't demonstrate any value, just eat him up," the Mirror Ghost said expressionlessly.

This almost scared the chef out of his wits. Wasn't it agreed that they would be equal and help each other? Wasn't it agreed that the team atmosphere would be harmonious?

Seeing the menacing and threatening gaze of the two ghosts, the chef ghost had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. He pulled out a bunch of pots and pans from somewhere, armed himself up, closed his eyes, and rushed into the group of ghosts, smashing everything in sight.

"This guy is quite self-aware; he even knows to prepare cooking utensils for his opponent."

The old man's trash talk was easy for anyone to handle. He and the mirror ghost followed the chef ghost in their charge, creating a clear space in the dense crowd of eerie creatures.

Lin Jue slowly moved forward along the empty space they had created. His pace was very slow, almost leisurely, as if he were strolling in his own backyard, which contrasted sharply with the chaos on this floor.

Meanwhile, the doctors and nurses, who were fighting another group of residents, noticed the out-of-place Lin Jue. When they saw his white coat, they were stunned at first, and then someone shouted, "Damn it, this guy is such a show-off! Let's take him down!"
