    Lin En: "???"


    He held a chainsaw, turned around in a daze, and looked around.


    Something was off.


    He had just sawed a few Puppets, so how did he suddenly gain so much experience, and what was with those familiar names?


    Could they all be in this house?


    Lin En quickly looked around, carefully searching the room with his chainsaw, but found nothing else.


    "Strange."


    Lin En shrugged in confusion, then tidied up the scene.


    He casually sat back in the chair, took out a small bottle of old wine from his pocket, poured it into a goblet, and savored it with his eyes closed.


    ...


    In the Regional Channel.


    The dark creatures finally blinked, slowly coming back to their senses from the terrifying scene just now.


    "I think this guy must have been trained long ago! And judging by his method of sawing people, it''s definitely the result of years of being influenced by his twisted teacher!"


    "This guy isn''t afraid at all!"


    "That''s right! I think making this guy break down is definitely not an easy task!"


    The Blood-Clad Wraith squinted and said:


    "So what? No matter what, he''s just a frail human. If he''s not afraid of physical monsters, I refuse to believe he can be immune to the elusive wraiths!"


    Whoosh—This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    She forcefully pulled another tentacle hanging beside her.


    And in the scene, Lin En, who was sipping wine with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a cold wind blowing past his ear, making him shiver subconsciously.


    The flames on the two candlesticks on the table also flickered suddenly.


    Lin En was startled.


    He put down the wine glass.


    Looking around the dim surroundings, he wondered:


    "What kind of trick is this now?"


    For some reason, the atmosphere around him seemed to suddenly turn cold.


    And at that moment.


    Suddenly.


    Out of the corner of his eye, Lin En noticed that the eyes on a portrait hanging on the wall seemed to move.


    Lin En quickly turned to look in that direction.


    He crossed his arms and walked briskly to the wall under the portrait, looking up at the golden-haired, blue-eyed human nobleman depicted in the painting.


    "So, why is there a painting from the human world here?"


    Lin En pondered curiously.


    But he didn''t notice.


    In the darkness behind him.


    Something was approaching him step by step.


    The candle flames flickered wildly.


    And at that moment, Lin En suddenly felt a chill on his shoulder, as if something was pressing on it.


    Lin En instinctively turned his head to look at his shoulder.


    Instantly.


    Their eyes met.


    A ghastly pale, rotting face of a female ghost, with blood oozing from its seven orifices, was staring at him from almost zero distance.


    "......"


    "......"


    The air fell into an incredibly eerie silence.


    In the Regional Channel.


    One by one, the dark creatures watching the scene held their breath, eyes wide open, nervously watching this moment.


    "Indeed, these ethereal ghosts are the most terrifying!"


    "If I turned around and saw this, I''d probably wet my pants."


    "Is this human''s mental fortitude so strong that he''s not even afraid of such unexpected things?"


    Everyone held their breath, watching that scene.


    In the scene.


    A brief few seconds of silence.


    Then they suddenly saw Lin En wink playfully at the ghostly face on his shoulder.


    Everyone: "(?Д?)ノ??"


    And that ghostly face seemed to freeze as well.


    Because it could clearly sense that this human in front of it showed no fear at its appearance.


    Lin En closed his eyes, exhaled, and sighed:


    "Don''t bother, are you another actor sent by that lady to mess with me? Tell her not to use these flashy tricks. Since I''m here as a guest, it''s really awkward for you to treat me like this."


    The ghostly face paused.


    Then its eyes widened, and it opened its mouth several meters wide, letting out a terrifying scream at Lin En.


    Smack—


    Lin En slapped the ghostly face with the back of his hand.


    Everyone: "！！！！"


    The ghostly face, slapped back to its original form, looked dumbfounded.


    Lin En shook his hand, closed his eyes, and said:


    "Why open your mouth so wide? Want to die?!"


    Regional Channel.


    "Wait a minute! Something''s wrong! Isn''t that supposed to be an ethereal ghost? How can he slap it so crisply?! (ΩДΩ)!"


    "Can he even touch ghosts?!"


    "Something''s wrong! Something''s wrong!"


    In the scene.


    After slapping the ghostly face back to its original form, Lin En kindly reached out, grabbed the ghostly face''s hair, turned around, and his gaze instantly fell on a headless, translucent body a few meters behind him.


    Lin En kindly placed her head back on the transparent body.


    Click—


    He secured it.


    "Don''t let your head fly around, and don''t scare people randomly. Isn''t it better to be a quiet girl? Why learn to scare people?"


    Lin En gently smoothed the hair on her decaying cheek.


    The ghost stared at him blankly, finally unable to resist asking:


    "How did you touch me?"


    Lin En immediately chuckled, pulling out an empty potion bottle from his pocket, and said:


    "I''m a Pharmacist, you know, dealing with wraiths all the time. If you don''t occasionally drink potions that allow you to touch wraiths, how can you perform surgeries on them?"


    The ghost: "(?Д?)......"


    Lin En charmingly lifted her hand, smiled gentlemanly, and said, "Miss, what''s your name? Can we get acquainted?"


    This sudden, charming inquiry left the entire Regional Channel in silence.


    Everyone stared blankly at the scene.


    It felt like things were slowly heading in a strange direction.


    Something was wrong!


    Really wrong!


    And in the scene, the female ghost was instantly at a loss, then she quickly remembered her mistress''s instructions, hurriedly pulling her face to create a terrifying scene.


    Instantly.


    Her entire face split open from the middle.


    Plop, plop—


    Two eyeballs fell from her eye sockets onto the ground.


    "......"


    "......"


    A brief silence.


    Lin En showed no reaction.


    The female ghost remained rigid in her terrifying posture.


    An incredibly awkward atmosphere spread unchecked around them.


    "You''re not scared?" she finally couldn''t help but ask in a daze.


    It felt like a comedian trying hard to entertain the audience with jokes, but the audience remained stone-faced, showing no intention of playing along.


    It was very awkward.


    Lin En coughed, patted her shoulder, and said, "This scare tactic, your lady has already used it on me. Although I''d like to cooperate with you, I feel it won''t make you feel better..."


    The ghost: "(?Д?)......"


    Lin En considerately picked up the eyeballs from the ground and pressed them back into her sockets.
