Chapter 9 Do you want to understand the meaning of life?
Qin Liu shivered as she was startled by this situation, and she quickly shone the lantern in her hand at the figure.
However, the first thing that caught her eye was not a bloody or terrifying scene.
Instead, it was a very beautiful, luxurious, and elegant evening gown.
The figure’s feet were one in front of the other, standing in a very intelligent model pose.
Looking at the exposed skin color, Qin Liu felt something was not quite right…
This was not the skin color that a human should have, but rather felt like plastic.
So, Qin Liu shined the lantern in her hand towards the figure’s face.
As expected, it was a very standard anime face.
This seemed to be a life-sized figure of an anime character, and her face should have had a very peaceful and gentle smile.
But for some reason, in this dim and terrifying environment, coupled with the lantern Qin Liu was holding, the face of this life-sized figure looked extremely terrifying.
It even felt like it had come to life.
Qin Liu felt a bit creeped out, and facing the life-sized figure, she slowly backed away.
Although she could clearly see the appearance of the figure, the strangeness and unease in her heart became even more apparent, and even seemed to be deepening.
Clearly, this life-sized figure was completely different from a real person, and one would never mistake her for a real person with just one glance.
But the problem was… the smile on her face was really creepy.
It was as if this was not a life-sized figure, but a smiling corpse.
And after hearing Liu Haoyu’s story about the buried Buddha statue, Qin Liu had an even more reserved attitude towards things that looked like people.
Qin Liu slowly retreated, and the figure’s gaze seemed to be fixed on Qin Liu.
It was unclear if it was a coincidence or not.
But would a normal person place a life-sized figure facing the door?
If someone opened the door at night, wouldn’t they get a heart attack?
Fortunately, by the time Qin Liu had completely retreated from the room, the life-sized figure had not moved at all.
It did not move, nor did it suddenly let out any screams.
It just stood there silently.
After retreating, Qin Liu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It must have been psychological, right? Actually, come to think of it, this life-sized figure is an anime character, and she looks quite pretty, doesn’t she?
It should not be that weird anyway…
Qin Liu muttered, and then cautiously searched the rooms on the third floor.
Because this place was too weird and scary, Qin Liu already had thoughts of retreating.
She found a nearby room, walked through the wall, entered the room, and then planned to pass through the wall and out of the villa.
If nothing else, compared to humans, Qin Liu had the innate advantage of being able to pass through walls, so no matter how scary it was, she could at least run.
Qin Liu entered the room, and at this moment, she found that it was also a bedroom.
However, in the center of the bedroom, there was a huge LCD display screen.
This should be a large-screen color TV for home use, and it looked quite expensive.
Qin Liu ignored these luxurious things, and just as she was about to pass through the wall to leave, the LCD display screen lit up.
Blinding white light illuminated the dim room.
On the large screen, there was a line of bloody font that looked like it belonged to a horror game and had a thrilling style.
It read:
“Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly… live?”
Seeing this line of text, Qin Liu’s heart skipped a beat.
This sentence felt like something she had seen in a novel before, but she couldn’t recall it at the moment.
Immediately after, a large number of options appeared below this line of bloody text.
“yes/yes/yes…”
The options were also in that thrilling font, and these options were constantly shaking, making anyone who saw them feel a sense of fear.
Qin Liu was no exception.
However, in the next second, the screen seemed to freeze, the font stopped shaking, and it no longer emitted strange sounds.
The atmosphere in the room fell into a strange silence for a moment.
Soon, all the bloody text on the LCD display screen disappeared.
Only a large number of options remained.
“NO/NO/NO…”
Seeing this strange scene, Qin Liu, who thought she was going to some infinite loop movie set, fell silent.
What was going on?
But no matter what, since there was nothing for her to do, she should leave quickly.
Even though it might not be safe in the car, it at least wasn’t as scary as this damned place!
Qin Liu passed through the wall and floated away dejectedly.
After she left, the villa was quiet for a long time, as if students were confirming if their homeroom teacher had left.
And after confirming that Qin Liu had left, the atmosphere in the villa became lively again.

In the car outside the villa, Liu Haoyu and Deng Shuyuan were still in the car. At this moment, the man pointed to the empty rear seats and said.
“See, we’ve been sitting here for half an hour, is there anything?”
“Uh… it seems not.”
Deng Shuyuan looked at the rear seats doubtfully, and he didn’t know why, but he felt that the cool, chilling feeling that was originally there had disappeared.
But Liu Haoyu didn’t seem to notice this.
“So, she’s not dangerous. Although she’s a bit shy and doesn’t talk, it’s okay to treat her as my wife.”
Qin Liu, whose soul was almost scared away, heard these words as soon as she returned to the car.
This made her already frightened little heart unable to bear it any longer.
“Who is your wife!”
“Here you go~ See? Doesn’t she have a nice voice?”
Deng Shuyuan couldn’t help but cover his forehead.
He didn’t know why, but he felt that it wasn’t as Liu Haoyu said, that this female ghost named Qin Liu was sitting in the back seat silently out of shyness.
Instead… she was probably not in the car at all from the beginning.
“Alright, alright, Brother Liu, I know you have a wife.”
Liu Haoyu patted Deng Shuyuan on the shoulder and said, “That’s right, it’s enough to know that she’s not a threat and won’t hurt anyone, and it’s not a waste of my time to explain to you.”
As Liu Haoyu was chatting with Deng Shuyuan on his own, Qin Liu approached with a dark expression.
“So… I’d like to ask, about the fact that I inexplicably have a husband… how do you plan to explain it? Mr. Ghost Exorcist, the perverted shrimp-head white-stockings fetishist?”
Qin Liu was so angry that her teeth itched.
She had initially thought that the two of them had entered the haunted house, and she had even gone in for a tour. But to her surprise, these two were still here talking and laughing?
It is said that a maiden’s blush is more eloquent than a thousand words.
Now Qin Liu wanted to change that saying.
It should be that a maiden’s blush is more eloquent than countless vulgarities.
Facing Qin Liu’s questioning, Liu Haoyu pondered for a moment, then he said with a solemn expression, a straight face, and in a very serious tone.
“I believe everyone has the right to pursue love…”
“Huh? What are you trying to say?”
“So I think all beautiful girls wearing white stockings are my wives.”
“Get lost!”
