Yu Xiaoling is missing!

That's right, the operating table in front of Luo Chao is empty at this moment!

Beads of cold sweat unconsciously dripped from Luo Chao's forehead, and the eerie scene before him made his hair stand on end.

"What's going on? Where is she?!" Luo Chao forced himself to suppress the panic in his heart and slowly walked toward the operating table.

Luo Chao calmed himself, reached out, and touched the surface of the operating table. A faint warmth remained at the touch.

This meant that Yu Xiaoling had just left the operating table.

"What is happening here? Could it be that Doctor Xu and the others really forgot to give anesthesia, so Yu Xiaoling woke up and left the operating room?" Luo Chao muttered to himself.

"But that's not right; the operating room was pitch black just now. Even if Yu Xiaoling could see the way, if she opened the operating room door, the light from outside would definitely come in. I would have noticed it!"

"Besides, Doctor Xu and Director Jiang are waiting outside the operating room. If Yu Xiaoling sneaked out, they would have found out and informed me!"

After pondering for a while, Luo Chao finally came to a conclusion, which was...

Yu Xiaoling is still in the operating room!

But... where?

Luo Chao glanced around, but in the huge operating room, apart from himself, there was not a single shadow of a person!

"Could it be... underneath?" Luo Chao cast his gaze toward the operating table.

This operating table was large, and the space underneath could completely accommodate the body of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Thinking of this, Luo Chao slowly squatted down and peeked under the operating table.

"Yu Xiaoling? Are you down there? Come out, I'm not a bad guy!" Luo Chao gently called out.

But, no one answered.

"Damn, it really is like seeing a ghost!" Luo Chao stood up, somewhat helplessly muttering to himself.

"Hehe, big brother, are you looking for me?"

Suddenly, a gentle girl's voice sounded above Luo Chao's head.

Instinctively, Luo Chao looked up, only to see Yu Xiaoling spreading her limbs, clinging to the ceiling of the operating room like a human-shaped spider!

She tilted her head, hair disheveled, using a pair of eyes eerily rolled back to white, staring fixedly at Luo Chao!

"Gulp." Luo Chao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking to himself, "Damn, could there really be ghosts in the world?!"

However, despite the shock, Luo Chao, having been through many storms, quickly adapted to the current situation.

"Uh... well, Yu Xiaoling, could you come down? I need to operate on you, or else you won't survive the night." Luo Chao scratched his head, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

"Hehe, dying is good! Then you can play with me forever!" Yu Xiaoling began to slowly crawl across the ceiling, "Don't you think so, big brother?"

"Play with you? You're not Yu Xiaoling?!" Luo Chao noticed what the 'Yu Xiaoling' on the ceiling said and asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I'm her friend. I've been in the hospital for so many years, only she can see me!" The 'Yu Xiaoling' on the ceiling replied.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chao felt a chill in his heart.

Only she can see...

Could it really be a ghost?!

Is it really a possession?!

Luo Chao steadied himself and retorted, "Since you're her friend, you shouldn't interfere with the doctor's treatment. Once I've cured her, you can play however you want, isn't that better?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, 'Yu Xiaoling's' expression suddenly became fiercely sinister!

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she shouted angrily, "You just don't understand! The reason she can see me is because she has a Spirit Root in her head, and you all want to remove it! It's better for Xiaoling to die and accompany me than to have her Spirit Root removed!"

Spirit Root?

Does that mean the tumor in Yu Xiaoling's head isn't just a simple tumor but something called a Spirit Root?!

Clearly, Yu Xiaoling met this lonely ghost in the hospital, and inexplicably made friends with it, and now this ghost wants to stop the surgery because it's afraid Yu Xiaoling will lose the ability to see ghosts.

But, for such a reason, to deprive Yu Xiaoling of her freedom to live, isn't this ghost too selfish?!

So, Luo Chao continued, "That may be, but don't you think it's too selfish? Just because of your ghostly loneliness, you want Yu Xiaoling to die to accompany you as a ghost? Did you ever ask for her opinion?!"

"I..." The ghost fell silent.

Then, she suddenly dropped to the ground.

"Hehe, big brother, I advise you not to meddle, or I'll kill you!" Yu Xiaoling, possessed by the ghost, opened her white eyes and revealed a sinister smile.

"Heh, kill me?" Luo Chao slightly smiled, three Silver Needles appearing in his left and right hands, "Please go back and lie down obediently!"

"Courting death!" The possessed Yu Xiaoling grabbed a surgical scalpel and slashed it towards Luo Chao!

Although this scene of Yu Xiaoling being possessed by a ghost was terrifying, using the scalpel as a weapon to attack Luo Chao was, after all, a physical attack.

Even with great ghostly power and speed, in Luo Chao's eyes, it was still no match!

Whiz, whiz, whiz—

Six Silver Needles shot out from Luo Chao's hands like sharp arrows, accurately piercing six major acupuncture points on top of Yu Xiaoling's head.

In an instant, Yu Xiaoling's body stiffened on the spot.

These six major points control the limbs and neck spirit energy of the human body. Luo Chao used the Silver Needles to seal them, temporarily cutting off the connection between the meridians.

Of course, Luo Chao had a purpose in using this move.

Although he just witnessed the legendary 'possession,' he still had some doubts about the existence of ghosts.

He suspected that it was all an act by Yu Xiaoling, not an actual possession.

Now, he completely sealed Yu Xiaoling's brain and spirit. If Yu Xiaoling fell back into a coma, it would prove that everything just now was merely a charade!

Unless...

Luo Chao walked slowly to Yu Xiaoling, waved his hand in front of her eyes.

Yu Xiaoling showed no reaction; it seemed she had fallen back into a coma.

"Could it be that everything earlier was just her playing tricks?" Luo Chao was somewhat puzzled.

But just then, a chill suddenly emanated from Yu Xiaoling's body!

Cold!

That was the only feeling Luo Chao experienced.

Luo Chao abruptly stepped back, and at the same time, the surgical scalpel originally intended for Yu Xiaoling's surgery was also clutched in his hand.

A faint, visible black mist slowly emerged from Yu Xiaoling and gradually gathered above her head, forming a human face!

This was the face of a little girl!

"Hehe, big brother, you're really an interesting person. Why not join Sister Xiaoling and play with me as well!"

With that, the human face formed by the black mist gave a cold, sinister smile and lunged at Luo Chao fiercely!
