Chapter 78 The Fierce Ghost Appears
What should I do?
Fear had seeped into Qiu Qiuxue’s soul. Her body was frozen in place, and even her steps backward felt robotic.
As for going back into the bedroom?
What a joke!
The bedroom looked like a place you’d enter and never leave!
Qiu Qiuxue slowly moved away from the bedroom door.
She was scared, scared that Su Luoluo’s blood-covered face would appear from inside. The monstrous smile from her dream was becoming clearer and clearer in Qiu Qiuxue’s mind.
“Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!!!”
The doorbell outside became more urgent.
Qiu Qiuxue dared not imagine what would happen. After retreating five meters, she scrambled to the living room.
She gasped for air, as if she had just returned from the Gates of Hell.
Cold sweat soaked her back.
The urgent doorbell outside stopped.
And there was no further movement.
Could it be… that it was safe outside?
Qiu Qiuxue’s throat was dry, as if she had swallowed blades.
Staying home alone was definitely not safe.
Since there was no more movement outside, why not seize the opportunity to leave quickly?
This thought surfaced in Qiu Qiuxue’s mind. She held the plunger, which felt like a walking stick to her now.
It supported her as she walked forward.
The young girl approached the door. After calming down, she tiptoed and looked through the peephole.
Then… she saw a terrifying, shrill red shadow standing outside!!!
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Qiu Qiuxue’s face contorted in terror. She subconsciously retreated and let out a piercing scream.
However, the red shadow outside seemed to have heard her voice and discovered her existence.
In the next second, the red shadow directly passed through the door and entered the room.
A chilling and terrifying aura washed over her. The terrified girl screamed and retreated.
If she hadn’t gone to the restroom beforehand, she would have dared to say she would have peed herself from fear.
Seeing the red shadow enter, she fled recklessly further into the room.
But when she fled back to the restroom, she found that all the lights had turned a strange and terrifying blood-red.
The red light made the already dark areas even darker.
It was as if countless grinning ghost faces were smiling at her from within the darkness.
In this terrifying and eerie red light, she saw that her bedroom door had become a blood-stained, rusty iron door.
Qiu Qiuxue was certain that the hallucination she saw from the restroom was this door!
A pungent, unpleasant smell of blood filled the entire room.
The rusty door slowly opened, and Su Luoluo’s blood-covered face poked out from the gap behind the door.
Her face was distorted, with a sinister smile.
Then, the rusty iron door opened completely, and a girl with deformed limbs, a limp body, and a smile on her face slowly walked towards Qiu Qiuxue.
Su Luoluo’s hand touched Qiu Qiuxue’s face.
A terrifying coldness spread from that icy hand all over Qiu Qiuxue’s body.
The cold was as if she were in a morgue.
The pale, cold hand, besides the smell of blood, also carried a pungent smell of disinfectant.
This smell deeply stimulated Qiu Qiuxue’s nerves. She spoke with difficulty.
“Su Luoluo… I… I haven’t offended you, have I!”
“…”
Su Luoluo’s lips parted slightly, as if she had said something, but Qiu Qiuxue could not hear her voice at all.
She only knew that death was getting closer, and darkness could engulf her at any moment.
However, just as Qiu Qiuxue was about to despair, a fire axe flew past her cheek and chopped fiercely onto the rusty iron door.
“Clang!!”
The sound of metal colliding echoed in the room.
The sharp fire axe left a deep wound on the red, rusty iron door and became embedded in it.
Although it was an iron door, dark red blood gushed out from the wound.
A sharp and strange scream suddenly erupted in the corridor.
The scream did not sound human, nor like any animal.
If one had to describe it, it was a bit like the scream of a cat, making one’s scalp tingle.
When the fire axe struck, the ghost of the girl in front of Qiu Qiuxue also disappeared.
Her legs weakened, and she collapsed to the ground, like a puppet that had fallen apart.
The red light around did not disappear. Behind Qiu Qiuxue, footsteps could be heard at an unhurried pace.
It was accompanied by an eerie and terrifying chill.
The footsteps grew closer, and Qiu Qiuxue could only sit there like a duck.
The footsteps passed by her. The young girl struggled to raise her head, and the next second her expression froze.
What appeared before her was a man in a black trench coat, wearing a gas mask. He exuded a terrifying aura, like an asura crawling out of hell.
The silver moonlight fell on the man, making his black trench coat slightly reflective.
The first thought in Qiu Qiuxue’s mind upon seeing this man was…
“It’s over!”
Then, after she came back to her senses, she shook her head again.
No, it should be “I’m saved!”
Although the man in front of her looked a bit scary, like a murderer from a horror movie, he had saved her life.
He should be a good person…
“Are you alright?”
A strange, unfamiliar young girl’s voice sounded in Qiu Qiuxue’s ear.
Qiu Qiuxue instinctively replied.
“I’m fine… Huh?!”
She suddenly turned around and found that the man was the only one in the corridor; there was no one else.
What was that unfamiliar young girl’s voice just now?
It couldn’t be another ghost, could it?!
“Ah, sorry, I scared you. I am… I am… uh…”
Qin Liu couldn’t think of how to introduce herself for a moment.
After all, she couldn’t say she was a ghost, could she?
Wouldn’t that scare the already terrified young girl even more?
Fortunately, while Qin Liu was hesitating, Liu Haoyu spoke.
“She is my wife, who died many years ago. You don’t need to be afraid.”
The man’s voice was terrifyingly low. No one knew what expression he had behind the gas mask.
The whereabouts of the red door were unknown.
But Liu Haoyu knew that it couldn’t have escaped far.
He had checked the barrier of the Special Task Force, and its strength was indeed very high. It would not be easy for the red door to break through the barrier.
During the previous confrontation, Liu Haoyu had also confirmed that its strength had been greatly reduced by Old Deng.
But with this much power… he could win.
The blood-red lights in the room all went out, and the world plunged back into darkness.
Liu Haoyu ignored the girl slumped on the ground behind him. He took the fire axe from the bedroom door, wiped off the black blood, and then placed his hand on the door handle.
In the pitch-black corridor, Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and pushed open the bedroom door.
