Chapter Thirty-Two
Seeing Qin Liu, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he didn’t know where the ghost-faced old man had gone, at least Qin Liu was fine.
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu walked behind Qin Liu and said.
“What are you looking at?”
Qin Liu didn’t speak, she was still staring blankly at the Bagua compass on the ceiling.
This made Liu Haoyu a little strange.
No matter what, if he had called out to Qin Liu in the past, she would definitely have reacted.
But why was she not responding at all now?
Sensing the increasingly cold environment around him, Liu Haoyu had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
He reached out and placed his hand on the young girl’s shoulder.
The first thing he felt was an extremely biting cold.
After all, although Qin Liu was a ghost before, her body was still warm.
But now, just by touching her shoulder, Liu Haoyu felt as if he were touching a corpse.
After Liu Haoyu put his hand on it, the girl’s head began to turn stiffly.
Bit by bit… in a posture that completely defied human bones, it turned a full 180 degrees!
Liu Haoyu immediately jumped back.
Looking at the familiar face now turned purple and black, with blood flowing from all seven orifices and its eyes missing, even Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
This girl was identical to Qin Liu… but she absolutely could not be Qin Liu!
Even though they were two meters apart, Liu Haoyu could feel the terrifying grudges emanating from her.
At this moment, this red-clothed fierce ghost was standing blankly and numbly in front of Liu Haoyu, with black, unknown liquid constantly flowing from her eyeless sockets, a scene that was extremely eerie.
Even though Liu Haoyu kept telling himself that this girl who looked exactly like Qin Liu was not Qin Liu herself, the unspeakable terror and dissonance made him feel very uncomfortable.
The problem now was, where had Qin Liu gone.
What was this monster in front of him?
Liu Haoyu took a Zhenlei Talisman from his pocket and stared intently at the strange red-clothed fierce ghost.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
Since the other party didn’t make a move, Liu Haoyu naturally wouldn’t waste the opportunity to strike first.
“Boom!”
The Zhenlei Talisman hit the red-clothed fierce ghost squarely, and she let out a sharp scream.
Her voice was exactly the same as Qin Liu’s.
As the lightning disappeared, the red-clothed fierce ghost fell to the ground.
This woman, covered in blood, lay there, slightly raising her head, staring intently at Liu Haoyu with an incredibly strange gaze.
Her face was covered in black, dirty blood.
Because she was hit by the Zhenlei Talisman, her chest had been completely hollowed out, leaving only a black cavity filled with dirty blood.
Her internal organs were still writhing within.
Her silver hair, covered in dust, dangled to the ground like white snakes slowly wriggling.
Her hollowed-out eye sockets constantly seeped black liquid, making one’s scalp tingle.
“Why…”
A resentful and terrifying voice sounded in Liu Haoyu’s ear.
“Why…”
Following this terrifying voice, the red-clothed fierce ghost reached out her hand and began to crawl forward little by little.
Bloodstains and dust stuck together, leaving a long blood trail.
Being stared at by this red-clothed fierce ghost, Liu Haoyu’s brain produced an uncontrollable fear, as if an invisible and cold hand had grasped his heart.
He tried to step back, but his body was stiff, unable to move at all, not even a finger. He could only watch helplessly as this red-clothed fierce ghost silently crawled over, getting closer and closer to him.
“Why…”
The resentful voice echoed in Liu Haoyu’s ear like a curse, his brain became numb, and his limbs gradually stiffened.
At this moment, the distance between them was only half a meter, and her terrifying face, with blood flowing from all seven orifices, was almost pressing against Liu Haoyu’s face.
But at this moment, a pale yellow light lit up in the darkness, shining on the female ghost.
At such a close distance, the terrifying and sharp howl nearly shattered Liu Haoyu’s eardrums.
The good news was that he could move now!
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
In just one second, Liu Haoyu held a Zhenlei Talisman and directly blasted it at the red-clothed fierce ghost’s face.
This shattered grotesque monster was still not dead. She dragged her broken body and escaped out the window.
Her angry, resentful gaze was fixed on Liu Haoyu.
The two stared at each other for five seconds, and then the red-clothed fierce ghost slowly disappeared.
Looking at this fierce ghost who looked exactly like Qin Liu, Liu Haoyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Now, only this one fierce ghost was seen on the entire third floor.
If this guy wasn’t Qin Liu, then where had Qin Liu gone?
Liu Haoyu exhaled a breath of stale air.
He turned his gaze to the item that had just saved him.
It was a lantern, now burning with a faint light.
This lantern was almost identical to the one in Qin Liu’s hand, which gave Liu Haoyu a very bad premonition.
Could it be that the monster just now was really Qin Liu?
No, no, no…
Liu Haoyu shook his head repeatedly. He didn’t believe it, nor did he think Qin Liu would turn into such a terrifying appearance.
It was obvious that something was at play.
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu decided to pursue.
But before that, his gaze fell on the Yin-Yang Mirror placed on the ceiling.
That red-clothed fierce ghost had been looking at this thing the whole time. Could it be that this Yin-Yang Mirror had some special function?
Liu Haoyu fell into thought. He picked up a bamboo pole from the side and poked the Yin-Yang Mirror down.
However, after taking it down, he realized that only half of this Yin-Yang Mirror remained; the other half had disappeared without a trace.
As for what use this thing was, that would be for later. The top priority now was to find Qin Liu.
After picking up the Yin-Yang Mirror, he ran to the window without stopping.
The red-clothed fierce ghost had already disappeared, but the grudges she left behind were still there. Following the grudges, he should be able to track her.
The direction of the grudges led to the house next door. Since neither house had iron fences, they could directly climb over from the balcony.
Liu Haoyu, holding the lantern in one hand and the fire axe in the other, then leaped over and arrived at the balcony of the house next door.
Just standing there, he could smell a very strong smell of a corpse.
This smell was so strong that even Liu Haoyu, who had been through many battles, felt a bit nauseous.
He pushed open the balcony door and entered the house.
Upon entering the house, the stench was even more indescribable.
It was a bedroom, with an old and tattered quilt, as if it hadn’t been washed in many years.
And in the center of the bed, an old man’s corpse lay quietly.
The skin of the corpse had turned grayish-white, indicating that he had been dead for some time.
His eyes were wide open, his expression terrified, as if he had encountered something terrible before his death.
