This actor is full of tricks.

Three steps away, Spider Ghost showed no resistance. He just hung quietly on the ceiling, his compound eyes looking at He Wen and Bi Zheng behind Lin Jue with a sense of intimacy.

It was like a small boat adrift on a lonely sea spotting a green island.

"There's a show!"

Lin Jue was secretly delighted; perhaps he could bring back an A-rank Child of the Mist today.

“Come on, you two talk to him.” He stepped back behind He Wen and Bi Zheng. The three ghosts were all children of the mist, so communicating with them would definitely be smoother than with him.

He Wen didn't move, but Bi Zheng put away the chains flying everywhere and stared at the eerie creature: "Are you in a lot of pain? I can feel your pain."

Bi Zheng is an extremely skilled sculptor, far surpassing Lin Jue in his ability to perceive others' emotions; at least Lin Jue couldn't see the spider's pain.

"Are these the stitches?" Bi Zheng stepped forward, now standing close to the Spider Demon. Chains supported his body to the same height as the Spider Demon. He looked at the stitches on the Spider Demon's body: "These legs are your source of power, but they also bring you pain, don't they?"

Spider Ghost didn't speak, but his eyes trembled, clearly indicating that Bi Zheng's words had struck a chord with him.

Bi Zheng sighed: "I can understand that feeling. Do you see these chains on my body? They are also the source of my power, but not long ago, they were also my shackles, making me struggle in pain with no room to breathe."

"But I met someone, a friend who changed me."

"He did everything he could to help me, trying to pull me out of the mire while I was still alive, and accompanied me to complete the work I am most satisfied with in my life."

Even after I died and became a fearsome monster, he did not show any resistance towards me, but continued to be my friend sincerely.

Bi Zheng is usually a man of few words and rarely smiles, like a silent gourd. Perhaps it was because he felt that Spider Ghost shared the same pain that he spoke his mind today.

Lin Jue, listening from behind, felt a little guilty. It was undeniable that although he had taken Bi Zheng into the raincoat with selfish motives, he had also genuinely wanted to help Bi Zheng.

His actions had finally paid off. Perhaps he had already gained a very important place in the hearts of these cunning people. When he returned to Yangtao Street, Lin Jue felt guilty but also somewhat moved. He decided that after returning to Yangtao Street, he would take 30% of the interest from the old man's loans to subsidize everyone.

“Someone helped me, and I think you need someone to help you too.” Bi Zheng stretched out his hand in front of the spider: “These legs shouldn’t be your pain. Perhaps you can control them like I do, turning all the pain into your support.”

"Help...help..."

Spider Ghost finally spoke, his voice hoarse, staring intently at the hand Bi Zheng was extending. His hand twitched, as if he wanted to shake hands with Bi Zheng.

What an amazing teammate!!!
Lin Jue was incredibly excited. Just as their hands were about to clasp together, a beam of bright light suddenly shone down: "Who's there!?"

The sudden noise startled the spider, which scrambled its eight legs across the ceiling and jumped down from the upper floor again in the blink of an eye.

"Fuck you!"

Lin Jue swore for the first time, waved his hand to put Bi Zheng and He Wen into his raincoat, and turned his head to look in the direction of the bright light.

Several burly men in security uniforms, carrying stun guns, climbed up the stairs, shining their flashlights on Lin Jue: "Who are you! What are you doing!?"

Lin Jue took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and said with an awkward smile, "Can't I sleep here?"

"Where did this homeless person come from? Get out of here! You can't sleep here. This is a construction site, didn't you see? If you want to sleep, go sleep under a bridge." After seeing that he was alive, the group of security guards breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at Lin Jue to leave immediately.

"Fine... I thought I wouldn't have to brave the river wind today. I've been sleeping under the bridge for several nights now," Lin Jue sighed, looking utterly pitiful. The security guards, however, were anything but polite: "Get out of here! Are you going to take responsibility if the steel bars get stolen?"

Lin Jue's lips twitched, and he walked downstairs expressionlessly.

The spider-like creature disappeared once again, and He Wen no longer sensed its presence.

Although somewhat annoyed, Lin Jue did not consider retaliating against the security guards. Although their attitude was indeed not good, it was the security guards' duty to drive away outsiders.

Bi Zheng's ghostly hand reached out from his backpack: "Here, take this. That spider put it in my palm when it escaped."

what?
Lin Jue reached out and took it; it was a crumpled piece of paper.

He glanced back at the group of security guards who had come down from upstairs, stuffed the crumpled paper into his pocket, and hurriedly left the construction site.

Once outside, he unfolded the crumpled paper under the dim light of the streetlamp.

The crumpled paper was stained with blood. It was a medical record, exactly the same as the one Lin Jue had seen on Chen Fu's phone, bearing the same title as the Sanjiang Yongning Mental Rehabilitation Hospital.

Most of the writing on the medical record was stained with blood, and only a few lines of information were visible.

[Name: No. 3]

When Lin Jue saw the name, he was taken aback. It was definitely not a name, but a number.

In other words, that spider was patient number 3 in the mental hospital.

Is the number really that high? No wonder his strength is A-level.

Why doesn't the spider have a name, only a number?
Lin Jue continued reading.

Date of birth: Unknown

The diagnosis is PLP (platelet-rich plasma)

PLP is an abbreviation for phantom limb pain. Lin Jue thought of the legs sewn onto the bodies of spiders and guessed that the other party might have developed this disease because they had lost their original legs.

[The patient's identity is unknown. According to the investigation, the patient was originally a homeless person who was beaten and had both legs broken. He was sent to the Third Hospital for emergency treatment by the Homeless Care Center, and was later transferred to this hospital due to severe PLP.]

The patient's mood is generally stable, but manic symptoms may occur during an episode.

Behind him was a large pool of blood. Lin Jue stared at the words "Third Hospital". He remembered that the taxi driver was still hospitalized in that hospital, but the two should not be related. They just happened to be treated in the same hospital.

The patient cooperated actively with the treatment, and the treatment process went smoothly. An initial assessment indicates that the patient can be discharged after three courses of treatment.

[The patient came into contact with Patient Number 1, and their condition deteriorated rapidly, exhibiting an intense desire for and aggression towards other people's legs...]

The remaining information was completely obscured by blood and could not be read at all. (End of Chapter)
