[Isn’t that Laura?]
[Is it really Lala? Why can’t I see her eyes?]
Laura nodded happily. “I didn’t know you were shooting a program here, Daddy Robert!”
Robert was a little moved and wanted to approach the girl. “Are you really Laura?”
Derrick and Carter suddenly came to their senses and blocked the man’s path. “Don’t believe her! This must be a trap! I’m sure she’s going to drag you away to punish you! She’ll have the ghosts do whatever they want with you!”
Both Robert and Laura had not a clue what was that supposed to mean.
[Did they just say she’ll do whatever she wants with the man? Hahaha!]
[Could she be an NPC arranged by the production team?]
Isn’t it obvious? Of course, she is.]
Nes, I also think this is a trick. Laura’s in the hospital, isn’t she?]
[But her voice does sound like Laura’s!]
[Don’t all little girls sound alike?]
No matter how Robert eyed Laura, he thought that girl was really her. Then again, he somehow found the girl did not quite look like her.
Heartbroken, Laura pouted. “Daddy Robert, don’t you recognize me anymore?”
Derrick trembled in fright and blurted out on the spot, “Let’s go around her. There’s something eerie about this kid. Our top priority should be to find the box first.”
“Find the box, he says?” Laura mused.
Laura pricked up her ears and questioned, “Are you guys searching for black, red, and yellow gift boxes?”
Startled, the men gaped at the little girl. “You know about it?”
Laura bobbed her head. “Yes, I do, but I can’t remember it clearly. Let me help you all. Come with me.”
She put down the snacks and ran off with the syringe in her hands.
The cameraman reacted even faster and was already trailing her steps.
That baffled Brandon. “Hey, cameraman number 5, why are you following her? She’s not our guest.”
Realization suddenly dawned upon that cameraman.
Since he was the cameraman responsible for shooting Laura, he mistook the child for Laura and unwittingly took action.
He wanted to leave, but once he saw Laura enter a ward, he began shooting her again.
There was a parade of ghosts inside, all standing and quivering.
The group jumped in fright when their gazes landed on Laura. Someone among them even exclaimed in a muffled voice, “What the fuck! A wraith child!”

Chapter 160
Laura took a step forward.
The ghosts, in turn, retreated in an instant and scattered around, dare not to startle her.
She felt strange, but she bypassed them at ease and rummaged back and forth on the operating table full of dead bodies.
Not only that, but she even picked up a woman’s head from a dismembered corpse and shook it a little before throwing it back into the pile of bodies.
“This isn’t it, either.”
Not a peep came from the cameraman.
[What’s she up to?]
[How wild could this kid get?]
[I don’t think Lala can ever do such a thing, can she? After all, she’s so cute, naive, and lively.]
[How can a kid not be afraid of ghosts? To think that they actually take her for Laura. No matter how capable Laura is, she couldn’t pull this off. At most, she’s just a witty girl.]
All of a sudden, Laura found a box under the bed and declared happily, “I’ve found it! It was hidden under the bodies!”
Robert mustered the courage to set foot inside the room and took a gander at the space beside Laura.
Little did he anticipate being greeted by a bunch of ghosts clustered in the corner.
They stared at Laura in fear like a group of puppies waiting for their turn to be given an injection.
He gawked at Laura in a daze.
Carter, too, looked at the scene in horror. “Uh… I guess she isn’t a top-tier wraith, right?”
Derrick inclined his head a fraction at that.
[Even though I’m not sure what’s going on, this little ghost girl’s too adorable!]
[I thought I was the only one who finds her cute in a nurse’s cap and not revealing her eyes. She’s appealing despite her appearance!]
[On top of that, she’s ardent in helping others!]
Laura wrapped her arms around the box and wheeled around to look at the ghosts.
The one on the periphery had nowhere to hide, thus crying out tremblingly, “Little girl, we’re both ghosts, so don’t pick on us!”
The other ghosts nodded in agreement.
“Yes! We’re all ghosts!” were their thoughts.
Troubled, Laura held on to the box. “But I want to know where the rest of the boxes are. I can’t quite remember it.”
The ghosts’ lips twitched. “W-We have no idea.”
On that note, Laura took another step forward/”You really don’t know?”
They gasped in shock. “Stop! Don’t take another step! We’ll tell you! Turn left on your way out, and the first box is in the admission room, where injections take place! The last box is in the doctor’s office at the end of the corridor!”
Another ghost chimed in, “Right! We confessed it all. Now, go, kiddo!”

Chapter 160
[Hahaha!]
(Isn’t she on the same side with the staff? This is hilarious!]
[It seems that they really think of her as a female spirit.]
[Could she really be a spirit? Didn’t they say that this kind of place had so much negative energy, so people could easily bump into ghosts?)
[Really? Don’t scare me!]
Wearing an ashen face, Robert watched Laura walk to the door with the box in her embrace.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a corpse suddenly dropped from the ceiling, hanging upside down.
Robert, Derrick, and Carter said in unison, “Fuck!”
The trio then slumped to the ground.
A sigh escaped from Laura as she brushed the corpse aside. “You’re getting in my way.”
Her statement left Robert at a loss for words.
Carter, for one, was royally terrified. “Well… Are you sure this kid isn’t their kind?”

The cameraman braced himself and leaped past the body, only to see Laura striding toward the cabinet. Next to her was a male spirit holding a syringe.
The spirit stared at her blankly.
“Sir, can you open the cabinet for me? Thank you,” she requested obediently.
The spirit twitched the corners of his mouth and did not have the gall to say much. He took the initiative to deliver the box to her and said, “May you rest in peace.”
Once again, Robert was left in utter bewilderment.
On the other hand, Derrick was stumped for words upon seeing that.
“Amazing! Are we being backed up by a top-tier wraith?” came Carter’s exclamation.
More live comments flooded in then and there.
(Although I don’t know what happened, this actually feels great. What’s going on?]
[May you rest in peace. Hahaha!]
I’m getting more and more suspicious that those are the ghosts arranged by the production team. Otherwise, they must be real spirits!]
Laura was in a good mood as she had the two small boxes in her possession while approaching Robert. “What’s the matter, Daddy? Why are you sitting on the floor?”
Robert was so scared that he found it difficult to breathe. “I… I just wanted to cool myself down.”
Tilting her head, Laura saw right through him. “Don’t tell me you’re afraid of ghosts!”
Robert’s mouth jerked at that. He leaned more closely against Derrick and Carter, unable to provide an answer.
Laura sighed and regarded him with a solemn visage “You have to be stronger than this, Daddy. People in this society won’t be as easygoing as you think. That said, you’re lucky to have me, I’ll help you solve all your problems.”

Chapter 160
Not a clue did Robert have in mind about what the little girl said.
He felt like he was being taken care of by her.
Carter’s expression gradually took a turn. “What a cool kid! I almost wanted to call her my boss.”
It was then that Laura turned to look at them. “Follow me!”
“Okay, Boss!” replied Carter while scurrying over.
During the interim, Zayn had been observing them not far away.
Laura made a beeline for the doctor’s office.

The staff inside were still conversing with one another. “I heard one of our colleagues ran into a ghost child, but our boss claims there are no children
involved. Isn’t that kid a ghost? She’ll even fetch us things to eat.”
“You’re right. If we accepted her offer, it’ll be like being in a ghost’s debt. We’ll never be able to pay her back!”
One of them rolled his eyes and refuted, “That’s enough. There are no such things as ghosts in this world. I’ve worked here all my life. If I ever saw that ghost, I’ll kick her out the door myself!”
The minute he dropped that sentence, someone tugged at his sleeve.
The man looked down.
In that office illuminated by green lights, a little girl could be seen holding a cheese stick. “Sir, can you give me the box? I’ll trade this with you.”
The man went silent for three seconds before he handed the box to her. “Goodbye, Boss!”
The other two were rendered speechless.
“Did he just go back on his word? Isn’t he going to kick her out? How could he waver?” they pondered.
Laura carried the third gift box and ran to Robert. “Congratulations, Daddy! You win!”
She did not reveal her eyes as she giggled cheekily.
Robert gulped and hesitated to stretch out his hands.
Seeing that, Derrick hastily stopped him. “Wait a minute! There may be something fishy going on! We can’t accept it!”
A cold voice of a young man interrupted, “Why not?”
Out of reflex, the cameraman shifted the camera to the source of the voice. Zayn’s frosty countenance instantly showed up on screen on the live- streaming channel.
He leaned against the wall ever so casually, and even under the flashing lights, he was exuding a certain kind of vibe that, for some reason, offered a sense of security to the people around him.
(Goodness gracious!)
[What a handsome boy!)
[Hold on. Isn’t this dashing lad Laura’s childhood sweetheart? He’s that wolfling, right?)
[Does this mean…]
[Girls, I’m getting excited over this!)

Chapter 160
Putting on a solemn mien, Derrick analyzed the situation and offered his perspective. “None of the staff here knows this kiddo. What if we accept the boxes and get punished later?”
Zayn understood where the man was coming from. The former nodded and sidled up to Laura. “You guys really don’t want these three things?”
Carter and Derrick bobbed their heads together.
Robert felt that something did not sit right with him. He watched Zayn grab the three gifts and flick Laura’s hair backward, revealing the little girl’s confused expression. “Very well. Laura, these three gift boxes belong to you, now.”
Each of the three men’s faces took a drastic change at once.
“Laura? It’s really you?” Derrick was devastated.
As for Carter, he was as though he was struck by lightning. “How could it be you? I thought I called a ghost my boss!”
All Robert did was stay dumbfounded with his mouth agape.
Brandon was one step ahead of them as he directed his line of sight toward the staff to serve as a signal. The staff announced loudly, “Congratulations on Laura’s victory!”
Overjoyed, Laura jumped up with the gifts held up high. “Yay! I won! Although I don’t know what prize I won, I’m happy for my.victory!”
Zayn caressed the girl’s tousled hair and turned to the three guys opposite with pleasure. “Sorry, guys. It seems that we got off to a very good start.”
Robert, Carter, and Derrick had nothing to say in return.
