Chapter 12 The Missing Corpse
Qin Liu’s gaze narrowed.
The corpse wasn’t in this room… That means it’s on another floor?
There were other tenants in this building, and it felt like the landlord and his relatives.
“Which floor is the corpse on?”
“…”
The pen remained motionless, and it seemed the female ghost didn’t know where her body was.
Seeing this, Qin Liu could only get up from the bed and say to it.
“Since that’s the case, you stay here, I’ll go look.”
The young girl went out holding the lantern and her red embroidered shoes.
After she went out, Liu Haoyu, who had been with his back to Qin Liu, opened his eyes.
The black book on the head of the bed was opened to a blank page, and it wrote.
“Aren’t you going to help her?”
Liu Haoyu sat up, bit his index finger, and wrote a line of blood on the black book.
“She seems to be having fun, I don’t think it’s necessary to interfere with her.”
In fact, Liu Haoyu had already woken up.
His sleep was very light, and he had already woken up when he heard the thumping sound in the house.
He originally wanted to deal with this supernatural event, but found that Qin Liu had gotten up before him.
Her trembling appearance was pitiable, but also so cute.
And when she sat on his bed, her soft little butt pressed against Liu Haoyu’s back, this man was even less inclined to wake up.
Although he was kicked a few times later, as if she wanted to wake him up.
Well… it didn’t hurt much, and it felt a bit good.
“Heh heh~”
The black book, knowing but not saying, left two words full of sarcasm.
“Are you really not going to manage Qin Liu? What if she demolishes this house later?”
“Don’t worry, with my understanding of her, she’s probably in the living room right now, hesitating whether to go out.”
The black book immediately turned its gaze to the living room.
As expected, the girl’s figure was hesitating at the door.
Her small hand was on the door handle, and then she slowly withdrew it.
This little ghost had seemed to rush out impulsively earlier, and now she was probably wondering if she should go back to the bedroom.
Although Qin Liu couldn’t find the ghost in the house, this was not a problem for Liu Haoyu.
He took a spirit communication talisman from his backpack. This thing could directly communicate with ghosts.
The effect was much more efficient than Qin Liu’s imitation of the Pen Spirit game.
As the talisman in Liu Haoyu’s hand turned to ashes.
A blurry and illusory black shadow appeared on the portrait in the room.
Seeing the black shadow appear, Liu Haoyu walked forward, preparing to ask questions.
However, compared to Qin Liu, the black shadow seemed very unwelcome to Liu Haoyu’s arrival.
Her killing intent was aimed at Liu Haoyu, and the room began to be covered with resentment.
But Liu Haoyu shrugged indifferently.
When he entered, he had already felt the resentment in the room.
At that time, he had speculated that the strength of the thing in the room was not strong.
Now that he saw its true form, he had basically confirmed his speculation.
The ghost in front of him was indeed a low-level beginner.
“Calm down, just as that ghost said earlier, my strength is very strong, at least much stronger than yours.”
The black shadow was attached to the portrait, making the person in the portrait seem to have come alive.
Its eyes were wide with anger, and it glared at Liu Haoyu menacingly, but apart from being angry, it couldn’t say a single word.
Liu Haoyu yawned and continued.
“Don’t be so hot-tempered. If you can’t handle it, I have talismans here to help you cool down.”
Seeing the guy in front of him, who looked more like a villain than a villain, take out a few Zhenlei Talismans.
The black shadow finally became honest.
For such a fierce ghost that had lost its intelligence, if reasoning didn’t work, then physical persuasion was the way to go.
See, isn’t it honest now?
“From now on, I ask, you answer, understand?”
Seeing Liu Haoyu put out the fire axe, the fierce ghost hiding in the portrait nodded stiffly.
It suddenly felt that the slightly scary red shadow earlier was actually quite cute.
——————
On the other side, after hesitating for a long time in the living room, Qin Liu finally put her hand on the door handle.
As for why she didn’t pass through the wall?
If there was a murderer or a fierce ghost hiding behind the door, wouldn’t she just bump into it!
Qin Liu grumbled in her heart, then she gently opened the door a crack and looked outside.
She hid behind the door foolishly, constantly peering into the pitch-black world outside.
It was an empty, desolate corridor.
There was no one in the corridor, and the silence was a bit strange.
Seeing that there was nothing in the corridor, Qin Liu walked out holding the lantern.
She still held the paper and pen in her hand, but for some reason, no matter how she asked, the pen didn’t react.
“Do I have to be indoors to ask the Pen Spirit?”
Qin Liu muttered, suppressing her unease, and carefully left the room.
When Qin Liu went down to the second floor, the motion-activated lights in the corridor actually turned on.
The incandescent light illuminated the entire corridor, and also brought Qin Liu a sense of peace and warmth.
After all, no matter what, a lit place would always feel safer than a dark place.
There weren’t many rooms on the second floor. To investigate the truth, Qin Liu took a deep breath and began to search room by room.
There weren’t many places to hide a corpse, especially a human corpse. For a ghost that could pass through walls, finding a corpse wouldn’t be difficult.
Qin Liu searched the second floor and the first floor, but found nothing unusual.
So she decided to go upstairs.
Perhaps because of the higher floor, the atmosphere on the fourth floor was colder and quieter.
Qin Liu had only advanced a short distance when a strange sense of unease struck.
“Creak… ”
When she passed a certain door, before she could enter, the door opened.
Startled, Qin Liu immediately turned and ran.
She confessed to being a coward!
Even if she was a ghost, what was wrong with being a little cowardly!
When Qin Liu returned to the third floor, she saw Liu Haoyu already standing at the doorway.
He looked at the flustered little ghost and couldn’t help but chuckle.
This fellow was clearly timid to death, yet she actually ran out alone.
This was something Liu Haoyu had never expected.
“This… I…”
Qin Liu, panting, wanted to say something, but Liu Haoyu interrupted her and said.
“Slow down, slow down.”
After Liu Haoyu calmed down the startled little ghost, she told Liu Haoyu everything she had experienced.
Exorcism should be left to professionals.
That “creaking” sound of the door opening had almost scared her soul away.
“Is that so?”
Liu Haoyu thought for a moment and then walked upstairs.
When he reached the fourth floor, a kind and benevolent grandma was standing at the door.
She looked around and then found Liu Haoyu standing at the top of the stairs.
“Oh~ young man, you’re the new tenant, aren’t you?”
