Warehouse Ghost's Villa.
The two of them ate and chatted casually.
"Long ago, the D17 train that Sun Baibai was on had an incident at the entrance of Zili Village to the south... I only heard about it from others, and afterward, everyone on that train disappeared."
"This afternoon, I sent a servant to investigate Zili Village, but it didn't return... something must have happened."
"Since I now own property in Hanging Valley Town, I can't leave for the time being."
"As for Zili Village, I suggest you don't go there for now."
"It's too dangerous."
Zhao Yi sliced a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.
"I'll be careful."
The Warehouse Ghost slipped a piece of paper with a phone number into Zhao Yi's hand.
"This is the number for the owner of 'Changsheng Mall.' You can arrange a meeting with him tomorrow."
"He's available anytime."
Zhao Yi looked at the number in his hand and put it away.
The next day, Zhao Yi took a leave from the Director.
Anyway, no patients dared to come to him for surgery at the moment, so the Director just let it slide.
Those ghost patients with appointments had already paid.
Not performing surgery was their loss, not the hospital's.
He arrived at a teahouse on the fourth floor of the mall. Ever since he became a doctor, the ghosts in Hanging Valley Town no longer looked at Zhao Yi with hunger.
He booked a private room.
Soon, a man with a fat head, big ears, and a beer belly like a pregnant belly pushed the door open and sat opposite Zhao Yi.
His face was deathly pale, exuding an air of high society.
[Mall Owner: Neutral]
[Weakness: His disappointing son]

He glanced at Zhao Yi with disdain, his ten large rings dazzling to the point of blinding.
"Are you the doctor recommended by the Warehouse Ghost?"
Zhao Yi replied:
"Yes."
The mall owner nodded and got straight to the point:
"Let me be frank."
"I usually only rent out the shops in Changsheng Mall, not sell them... and your fifteen thousand ghost coins, my wife wouldn't even use that to wipe her butt."
Zhao Yi was surprised:
"Your wife's butt must be quite big then?"
"Can you handle it?"
The mall owner glared:
"Don't interrupt, let me finish!"
"Although I don't want to sell the shop, there's an exception to everything."
"... My son keeps saying he's not feeling well, can't study properly, and always ranks at the bottom of his class."
"I've consulted several doctors, but none could cure my son's lack of interest in studying. So if you can cure my son, I'll sell you a decent underground mall shop for fifteen thousand ghost coins."
"But if you can't, you'll be eaten by my son!"
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:
"Are you serious?"
The man flaunted his ten fingers adorned with expensive gemstone rings, arrogantly saying:
"I, Hu Aotian, am not short of money for a shop."
After speaking, he looked at Zhao Yi, who was deep in thought, and sneered:
"What?"
"Scared?"
"Right, even ghost doctors couldn't cure my son, how could a weak human like you..."
Before he could finish, Zhao Yi eagerly looked up:
"Mr. Hu, I still want to ask, can you handle your wife's big butt?"
Hu Aotian: "???"
"Why are you so concerned about my wife's butt?"
"I warn you, if you dare have any improper thoughts about my wife, I'll kill you!"
Zhao Yi nodded slightly.
"Ha, sorry... Mr. Hu, don't worry, I'm just naturally a bit curious about odd things."
The man and the ghost arrived at Hu Aotian's residence.
It was a massive estate in the center of the Hanging Valley Town's wealthy district.
The villas were elegant and exquisite, surrounded by magical plant creatures.
Before even entering, a terrifying aura hit them.
An old butler was kicked out of a third-floor window, and cursing could be heard from inside:
"Who the hell let you clean the room?"
"How many times have I told you!"
"Don't touch my figurines!"
"If I see my figurines moved again, I'll chop off your head!"
The butler fell to the ground, covered in blood, looking miserable.
Zhao Yi stared at the broken window on the third floor, his eyes shining.
What a delicious smell.
The scent of food.
Time for an extra meal!
Hu Aotian, seeing Zhao Yi standing still, thought he was scared and patted Zhao Yi's shoulder:
"If you're too scared, forget it. No need to force yourself; after all, a tiger father has no dog son..."
Zhao Yi brushed his hand away, full of determination:
"No... Mr. Hu, please let me treat your son!"
Hu Aotian looked at Zhao Yi with a complicated expression.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not joking... the previous doctors who tried to treat him were all eaten by my son."
Zhao Yi walked steadily towards the third floor.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I'll return you a son who loves to study."
He entered the problem child's room.
As soon as he opened the door, a strong stench filled the air.
The floor was littered with paper balls.
The boy's body was rotting, his eyes bulging, and his mouth full of sharp, foul-smelling teeth.
Upon closer inspection, one could see some human hair in his mouth.
Seeing Zhao Yi and his father, Hu Liangliang grinned menacingly:
"Dad, you brought me food again?"
Hu Aotian sighed.
"Son, playing games all day isn't good."
"How will you inherit the family business like this?"
Hu Liangliang frowned and cursed:
"Annoying old man!"
"Fine, I'll cooperate with the treatment... but as I said, if he can't cure me, I'll eat him!"
"Whatever happens, you clean up the mess!"
Hu Aotian looked at his son with a complicated expression, then sighed at Zhao Yi.
"Dr. Zhao, good luck!"
Bang!
He locked the door.
Inside the room.
Zhao Yi smiled gracefully.
"Hello, Hu Liangliang, I'm the doctor your father..."
"Invited to treat you."
Hu Liangliang showed a cruel smile, his long tongue licking his sharp fangs!
"Doctor, how do you plan to treat me?"
Zhao Yi brought a chair over and sat next to Hu Liangliang.
He looked up.
Man and ghost locked eyes.
Hu Liangliang's smile gradually froze, disappearing...
Even...
Turning into fear!
On Zhao Yi's handsome face.
He suddenly saw—
A pair of scarlet eyes, as deep as an abyss...
