Zhang Hao maintained his smile, unaware that the muscles in his face were cramping from laughing so hard that his entire expression looked bizarre and distorted, exuding a unique horror movie vibe.

"What kind of cooperation?"

Lin Mo asked.

"It's like a message to a wizard. The wizard can help us catch monsters and then sell them to us. The dean said that monster-catching wizards are professionals, but he's not good at it, so he needs a long-term partner."

Zhang Hao looked at Lin Mo earnestly, his eyes popping out again.

Lin Mo had gotten used to his restless third eye.

"Since you're going to cooperate, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"You want to speak with the dean in person?"

Zhang Hao's three eyes gleamed with excitement, and before Lin Mo could speak, he continued, "The Dean entrusted this matter entirely to me. He trusts me completely, and he asked the wizard to trust me as well. I used to be a secretary."

"I just want to know my current state."

Lin Mo said calmly.

Zhang Hao suddenly realized what was going on. He patted his head and said apologetically, "I was so focused on inviting you over that I only managed to bring your soul. It's just that your body is so strange that I couldn't move it."

"So you mean I'm not dead yet?"

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief; he had just considered the worst-case scenario.

No shadow, no heartbeat, isn't that death?

Fortunately, it was just an out-of-body experience.

Wait, out-of-body experience—that's only a hair's breadth away from death.

He didn't believe the three-eyed tengu was truly unintentional; it was definitely deliberate.

He is currently in a soul state and cannot access the power of the sacred artifact, which is why he cannot absorb the demonic power of the Three-Eyed Tengu, and why others cannot see him.

Ultimately, one's soul is still that of an ordinary human being.

Facing the Three-Eyed Tengu in his soul form, he had no chance of winning.

Lin Mo quickly assessed the current situation.

The three-eyed tengu laughed and said, "Of course the wizard is not dead. Once we've finished talking, I'll let the wizard go back."

While he was speaking, his three eyes were clearly darting left and right; this guy was lying.

"Deceiving me doesn't count as sincerity."

Lin Mo frowned.

Zhang Hao immediately explained, "There's no deception, no deception. We just need to talk quickly. If your soul leaves your body for more than half an hour, it can never go back."

"..."

For the first time, Lin Mo felt his life was threatened.

So this is the Three-Eyed Tengu's trump card in negotiations: if he doesn't agree to cooperate with them, he will seize his soul and only let him go if he compromises within a specified time.

"Since you're so sincere, I have to show my sincerity in return."

Lin Mo tried to calm himself down. "Could I have some paper and a pen?"

"of course."

Zhang Hao immediately took out paper and pen from his white coat and handed them to Lin Mo.

He thought Lin Mo had figured it out.

Lin Mo picked up a pen and drew a koi fish pattern on a white draft paper, then handed it to Zhang Hao: "This monster is for you."

Zhang Hao's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected the wizard to be so generous.

As Lin Mo chanted the incantation, a red koi carp jumped out from the table.

Hong Ye, his beard bristling and eyes wide, stared at Lin Mo.

"I'm out now, and you'll be the first to die!"

Just as Red Lord was about to rush towards Lin Mo, the Three-Eyed Tengu immediately blocked his way, saying, "You can't let me kill the wizard."

Chapter 192 Big Mouth

Lin Mo had long guessed that Hong Ye was not an easy demon to conquer. On the surface, he had signed a contract with him, but in reality, he was sealed by him. Once the contract was broken, Hong Ye would definitely turn against him.

At times like these, the three-eyed tengu will surely protect itself.

Because he wouldn't see the wizard killed; after all, they were still negotiating a partnership.

If a wizard is to die, he can only die at the hands of another, not at the hands of other monsters; that would go against his original intention.

Lin Mo guessed this thought, which is why he used the opportunity to summon Master Hong.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if this friend is unreliable, it's good that they keep each other in check for a while.

The soul cannot leave the body for more than 30 minutes. I have been out of my body for 10 minutes, so I don't have much time left.

He needed to create an opportunity to escape, but he couldn't use spirit travel.

My intuition tells me that using my soul to travel between spirit realms would be extremely dangerous.

Zhang Hao's thin body suddenly arched backward, tearing his white coat and revealing two large black wings growing from the hole.

His thin face began to deform, his nose protruded forward, turning into a dog's nose, and his flesh-colored skin faded, turning into black fur.

He completely transformed into the half-demon form of the Great Tengu, retaining his hands and legs, but his head and back clearly exhibited the characteristics of a Tengu.

The palm-sized Red Lord charged towards the Great Tengu, who grabbed its body as if it could crush it with a gentle touch.

The next second, a huge red dragon shot up from the ground and knocked the Great Tengu away.

The red dragon charged straight out of the building, smashing a huge hole in the entire structure.

Fortunately, it did not hit a load-bearing wall; the building only experienced a violent tremor but did not collapse.

Even so, the patients in the hospital still heard a loud commotion and looked towards the hole in the building. Bricks and tiles fell down, injuring one or two people, and the others scattered nervously.

The three-eyed tengu and Red Master were entangled, giving Lin Mo a chance to escape.

Lin Mo turned to leave, but then heard the monster's cries coming from inside the laboratory.

He gritted his teeth and rushed into the laboratory.

In his spirit form, he easily passed through the glass and arrived at several monsters tied to an operating table.

Lin Mo tried to untie the restraints binding them, but having never operated such a surgical table machine before, he couldn't do it after several attempts. It required a password, and now was not a good time to guess the password.

The four monsters looked at Lin Mo with teary eyes, making Lin Mo feel that he couldn't leave them there.

Despite their strange appearances, Lin Mo was not the kind of superficial person who judged monsters by their looks.

To put it another way, I am now a specially appointed consultant of the Demon Alliance. If I don't save a few demons for the Demon Alliance, how can I get a permanent position?

Lin Mo drew the summoning totem again with pen and paper, chanted the incantation, and summoned a small demon the size of a palm.

[Big Mouth: A little demon skilled at storing things; its mouth holds a world within.]

[Disadvantages: Timid, shy, and greedy. The main problem is greed; it needs to be fed every time it's asked to do something, otherwise it will eat the items stored in its mouth. Note: It cannot eat its host.]

[Advantages: It's loyal and will remember you after just one collaboration. You can summon it again even without a contract, allowing for long-term cooperation. However, you need to provide enough food each time, and the more times you summon it, the more it will eat.]

[Communication Method: Draw the following totem and recite the specific incantation to summon it.]

The large mouth resembled a tadpole, with a short tail. It had only a mouth on its head, without glasses or a nose. It swam around Lin Mo and made timid sounds.

"Great Wizard, what...what help do you need from me?"

Its cheeks suddenly turned red, clearly embarrassed.

"This is a contract; do we need to provide food?"

"Yes...you can...give me the food after you've finished cooking, I...I'm fine with either."

Big Mouth seemed to stutter a bit, and judging from its voice, it sounded like a female demon.

Lin Mo nodded and said politely, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll give you the food after I complete the task. Thank you."

Big Mouth nodded in agreement, and before Lin Mo could ask, it swam to the operating tables, opened its mouth, and swallowed the operating tables along with the four enormous monsters.

The scene was somewhat bizarre: a tiny demon, no bigger than a palm, swallowed several operating tables.

Lin Mo swallowed hard. Sure enough, in the demon realm, one cannot judge a person's appetite by their size.

He estimated that he had spent another 5 minutes, and now he only had 15 minutes left to escape.

"Please take them back to the Demon Alliance's 36th branch and ask a girl named Unicorn Heart for food; she will give it to you."

Lin Mo said seriously.

Big Mouth shook its round body, then turned and burrowed into the ground.

Lin Mo also ran out of the building with a ghost-like body.

Wait, I'm in a soul state now, so can I fly or float?

Lin Mo tried it and found that he could indeed float, but the speed was pitiful, not even as fast as running on his own two legs.

He decisively gave up being a ghost and set off outwards with his feet firmly on the ground.

Upon arriving at the first floor of the hospital, light shone in through the main entrance.

Lin Mo rushed out without hesitation. The dazzling light stung his eyes, and he instinctively closed them.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the hospital.

Lin Mo immediately realized that this was the ability of the Three-Eyed Tengu.

Because Lin Mo was forcibly dragged here, his soul could only leave the building with the permission of the Three-Eyed Tengu; otherwise, even if he rushed out, he would enter a vicious cycle.

To verify this hypothesis, Lin Mo conducted several experiments, each time going around in circles and returning to the place where he had first arrived at the hospital.

It's similar to being trapped in a maze, but to be precise, I'm the ghost now.

The Three-Eyed Tengu and Master Hong were locked in a fierce battle, causing the building to tremble from time to time.

Lin Mo frowned. Was he just going to sit here and wait to die?
