Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Reincarnation Hospital on Level 1 Alert, the Director Returns

The tables had completely turned.

Now, it was the Vice Director’s turn to be panic-stricken.

The Dragon Country audience felt like they were about to black out!

[This laser... reminds me of an old friend.]

[You mean the one with the crescent moon soaring to the sky? Holy panda-man!]

[Damn, and here I was worried about Yun Zhenyue and Sun. I guess I’m just ignorant.]

[Now it’s Reincarnation Hospital’s turn to panic!]

[I’m speechless. A random toy from the great Gu Yuan is this badass?]

[No wonder he said the panda doll wasn’t suitable for taking outside.]

...

「Meanwhile.」

The audiences from other countries were all dumbfounded!

It was as if they were dreaming!

This was especially true for the audience from the Great Cold Country!

Many of them were on the verge of a mental breakdown!

’They should have said this panda doll was so damn powerful from the start!’

’So Piao Dagen didn’t die because the panda went easy on him!’

Otherwise, with a beam like that, ten Piao Dagens wouldn’t have been able to withstand it!

[Shibal... does the Vice Director even have a chance to kill Yun Zhenyue anymore?]

[Sigh... to think this doll was hiding such power.]

[What do we do? Miss Sumi won’t be killed, will she?] 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

[Probably not. She and Piao Dagen are both in hiding.]

[That’s good. I hope they don’t get discovered.]

[I hope the Director comes back soon! She’s the only one who can possibly kill this hateful panda-man!]

...

「At that moment.」

Inside the ghost Vice Director’s sockets, his pupils trembled uncontrollably.

Beads of sweat trickled down from his brow into his bloodshot eyes. His temples throbbed, and the entire ghost was on the verge of collapse.

’I never would have dreamed that this panda doll could be so terrifying!’

’It was already powerful enough on its own, but it can even merge with a person and turn into a panda-man!’

That blood-red beam of light that shot into the sky!

Just sensing its aftershock made him tremble all over.

’Unstoppable!’

’Even a graze would mean death!’

Compared to this Godzilla-like doll!

The Director’s doll was like a meek little white rabbit!

He tremblingly pulled a controller from his pocket and pressed the smallest red button!

VMMMM!

A broadcast announcement, loud enough to shatter stones and pierce clouds, blared out!

The entire Reincarnation Hospital entered a level-one state of alert!

The sound could be heard for kilometers!

It signified that Reincarnation Hospital had entered a state of life-or-death crisis!

All staff, as well as any ghostly patients who owed a debt to Reincarnation Hospital, were to come and provide support!

It was also meant to alert the Director!

If she was nearby, she needed to hear it and return immediately!

...

In less than a few minutes!

Down below the dormitory building!

The doctors and various staff members of Reincarnation Hospital poured out like ants moving their colony!

Many of the ghostly patients who had been treated and owed a favor also appeared.

Their numbers reached the hundreds!

A dense crowd swarmed the area beneath the dormitory!

But when they saw Mr. Sun, transformed into the panda-man...

...every single one of their jaws dropped!

"This... what kind of monster has Reincarnation Hospital provoked?!"

"Can we even beat him? Maybe we should just surrender."

"Where’s the Director? Why isn’t the Director here?"

"HISS~ The dormitory building was pierced straight through! What level of ghost is this?!"

"..."

「At this very moment.」

Staring at the sheer number of ghosts, Shangguan Mu and the others felt their scalps tingle with fear.

’So many ghosts... they could probably pile on top of us and crush us to death!’

Now, their only hope was Sun, who wielded the power of the panda doll!

Suddenly, just as Mr. Sun was trying to figure out how to lead everyone in an escape, he suddenly spotted a familiar ghost!

It was his superior from the logistics department!

The very one who had been bribed by the players from the Great Cold Country and was planning to fire him!

"You son of a bitch!"

"I’ll blast you to hell!"

Sun’s eyes immediately started itching for a fight!

VMMMM!

A blood-red beam of light shot from his right eye!

Another terrifying beam!

The ghost from the logistics department didn’t even have time to react!

The entire ghost was completely melted away!

Not even a single limb was left behind.

With that single strike, having witnessed the panda-man’s might firsthand, the crowd of ghosts below the dormitory turned pale with fright!

’Is that an attack a Crimson-robed Ghost can produce?’

’I’m afraid even a low-level Evil Star would be burned by that!’

’Did that damn Vice Director summon us here just to die?’

In an instant, the huge crowd of ghosts, like a collapsing dam, all broke and fled to the outside!

Meanwhile, Sun was like a wolf let loose in a sheep pen!

Saw a ghost who used to bully the Dragon Country people?

No mercy!

Blast them all to death!

The mistress of the OB/GYN fitness instructor?

Blasted!

The ghost chef in the hospital cafeteria who deliberately gave the Dragon Country people a hard time?

Blasted!

The Ghost Security Guard who hounded them all day, showing no mercy even after they paid the ghost currency?

Blasted them all!!!

Of course.

He didn’t harm the ghosts who had shown kindness to the Dragon Country players.

As one blood-red beam after another shot from his right eye, an unknown number of ghosts died at his hand.

In a flash, countless ghosts vanished from beneath the dormitory building.

"Sun!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Mu shouted at him.

"That’s just about enough!"

And with that familiar voice, Sun felt something was wrong!

At some point, his mind had become flooded with all sorts of negative emotions!

Paranoia, madness, bloodlust, apathy, rage, euphoria...

The sudden surge of power was tempting him to unleash every single one of those negative emotions!

The intense killing intent had nearly driven him into a frenzy!

A sudden cold sweat washed over his back.

Only then did Sun realize he was being influenced by the negative emotions within the panda doll.

If not for Shangguan Mu’s warning, he might have been completely consumed, controlled by the panda doll!

’The crucial part is, this was all my own choice.’

’The panda doll didn’t say a single word.’

’How terrifying!’

’I wonder what great power created a doll like this.’

’Perhaps only someone like Yun Zhenyue could truly subdue it.’

Sun came to his senses and finally turned his gaze to the ghost Vice Director.

The ghosts around him had all but fled.

Even though Sun had deliberately held back, many of Reincarnation Hospital’s buildings had been destroyed by the aftershocks.

Broken buildings jutted out everywhere like bleached bones, and scorched bedsheets smoldered with searing flames. As far as the eye could see, there was only scorched earth!

Even the word "Hospital" from the Reincarnation Hospital sign had disappeared.

For some reason, he hadn’t run.

Perhaps the Director’s punishment was even more terrifying to him than death.

"ROAR..."

A crimson liquid dripped from the corner of Sun’s mouth. He turned his head to look at Yun Zhenyue.

His meaning couldn’t be clearer.

’Should I kill him?’

It was this despicable ghost Vice Director!

He was the cause of all this!

There was definitely no way they could stay in Reincarnation Hospital after this!

If he hadn’t been so insistent on framing Yun Zhenyue, they might have already started working at the hospital.

But including Sun and Shangguan Mu, not a single one of the Dragon Country players felt any regret!

’We’ve already come this far, anyway.’

’Why keep the ghost Vice Director around?’

...

Just as everyone was waiting for Yun Zhenyue to make the final decision, in that instant!

DONG!

DONG! DONG!

The sound of a grandfather clock seemed to chime from the distance!

Like ripples in a lotus pond, all who heard the chimes froze in place.

A tall woman in a white coat arrived, her steps in time with the chimes.

She stared at the scene before her, and at Sun who had become the panda-man, an expression of disbelief on her face.

And when the ghost Vice Director saw this woman, tears and snot suddenly streamed down his face.

He fell to his knees.

Forgetting his fastidiousness, he wailed in grief-stricken despair, "Director... you’re finally back."
