Chapter 14 People Not Worth Saving
The man smiled slightly upon hearing this.
As someone with countless experiences, how could he not understand what a woman’s first time was like?
But he had to admit, the woman in front of him was indeed quite attractive, especially in her cosplay outfit.
So, he chose to see without saying.
He simply took out his phone and transferred ten thousand to the woman’s account.
“Come back here next time, I think it’s quite good.”
“Achen, compared to this hotel, I’d rather be at your place.”
The woman’s words stirred the man’s heart. Naturally, the man knew she was trying to seduce him.
However, as a man from a wealthy family with plenty of flowers waiting for him to pick, how could he possibly be tied down to just one woman?
“No need, compared to home, I think the atmosphere in the hotel is better.”
After speaking, the man started to get dressed.
However, he didn’t bother to take the cosplay outfit with him. After all, it had been used, and he was too lazy to wash it.
He would just buy a new one next time.
Seeing that the man was about to leave, the woman looked somewhat unwilling.
She had just gotten married and had received hundreds of thousands in dowry, so she naturally looked down on an income of ten to twenty thousand.
Therefore, rather than the money, she hoped to successfully hook up with this wealthy man in front of her.
If that were the case… she wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.
As for that marriage?
From the very beginning, she hadn’t paid any attention to it. If it weren’t for her family forcing her to marry, she would still be single.
So, she was naturally unwilling. How could her looks be wasted on a mere white-collar worker?
This wealthy man in front of her was her prey.
“Achen, we’ve been together for a month, haven’t we?”
The woman said tentatively, but the man had already finished dressing and nodded.
“Yes.”
“I’ll return this ten thousand to you.”
The woman looked at the man’s retreating back with somewhat soft eyes.
“There’s no need to give me money. If you want it again next time… just call me directly.”
Hearing the woman’s words, the man chuckled.
“I’m not short of that ten to twenty thousand.”
With that, the man twisted the doorknob and left.
The naked woman sat on the bed, stunned.
As soon as the man walked out of the hotel, he saw someone approaching with heavy footsteps.
It was a young man in his early twenties, with an ashen face as dark as ink, clenching his fists, suppressing his anger.
The two passed each other, but soon, the man heard a very heated argument and cursing from the second floor of the hotel.
But this matter had nothing to do with him. The man started his Cadillac and returned to the villa.
A week later, a young man with a burned face and one blind eye stood in front of the villa.
With only a door between them, their eyes met. The young man outside the door questioned first.
“You… why…”
The man inside the villa said calmly.
“She seduced me first. She coveted my money and wanted my things. It’s that simple.”
The young man outside the door clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart, but the man said indifferently.
“I can see you’re very angry.”
“Nonsense!!”
Finally, the young man outside the door erupted.
“Since the divorce, I haven’t even gotten my dowry back! Look at my eyes, look!”
“She brought five people into my office, beat me severely, and even poked out one of my eyes!”
“Because of this, I lost my job! I lost my money too!”
The hysterical young man wept as he finished speaking.
Having lost everything, he could only roar and howl here, unwilling.
He was like a volcano about to erupt, capable of engulfing everything around him at any moment.
The man inside the door merely watched indifferently.
He slowly took out a voice recorder.
What was playing was evidence of the woman seducing him.
Listening to the sound from the voice recorder, the young man outside the door remained silent.
The seductive and charming voice in the recording, compared to her usual cold and heartless demeanor towards him.
The veins on his forehead bulged, his fists clenched so tightly that he didn’t even realize his nails were digging into his flesh.
“She said she was single, had no boyfriend, and was not married…”
“I know… I know…”
The young man outside the door interrupted him and then, like a corpse, turned around stiffly.
Perhaps after making some kind of decision, his retreating back was so resolute.
—————
Liu Haoyu regained consciousness.
Although it seemed like a long time had passed, only a few seconds had gone by in reality.
Deng Shuyuan leaned over and said to Liu Haoyu.
“Brother Liu, she’s dead, right?”
Hearing Deng Shuyuan’s words, Liu Haoyu slowly exhaled.
Although he had killed a life-sized female figure, there was no doubt.
This footage should be the memory of the villa owner before his death.
The soul of the villa owner was stuffed into this life-sized figure.
In other words, this wasn’t the real culprit.
Liu Haoyu stood up, took out a fire talisman from his pocket, lit it, and placed it on the life-sized doll.
“Although you weren’t a good person… rest in peace.”
The life-sized figure was engulfed in fierce flames. In the flames, what was vaguely visible wasn’t the doll’s metal skeleton, but human bones?
Even after being burned to ashes, nothing was left behind.
After all, the flames of the fire talisman couldn’t have burned a metal skeleton to ashes.
“Brother Liu?” Deng Shuyuan walked up to him and asked, “Got it done?”
“Turn around and let me see.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, Deng Shuyuan turned around.
As expected, the ferocious ghost face on Deng Shuyuan’s back was still there.
It maintained its creepy and terrifying smile.
And whether it was an illusion or not, Liu Haoyu felt that this ferocious ghost face seemed to have grown a whole size bigger.
“It seems it’s not over yet. The real fierce ghost hasn’t been found.”
“Oh…”
Hearing this, Deng Shuyuan gasped. His face was extremely grim at this moment.
“Brother Liu, if this thing is a ghoul… then how strong would the main culprit be?”
“I can handle it.”
The terrifying situation on the third floor was probably not the work of the fierce ghost in this villa.
But rather, a more terrifying entity from outside had entered the villa.
As for what exactly it was.
Liu Haoyu didn’t know.
But the most likely candidate was that blood-stained rusty iron door.
After all, only that thing would persistently chase him everywhere.
Couldn’t it transform into a cute girl in white stockings to chase him?
Liu Haoyu clicked his tongue.
Therefore, the current situation required a quick battle to resolve the fierce ghost in the villa, and then deal with the thing that came from outside.
To avoid being attacked from both sides.
As Liu Haoyu was thinking, Deng Shuyuan’s eyes widened, and he let out a cry of surprise.
“Wait, Brother Liu… on your neck, there’s also a ghost face!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Haoyu instinctively touched his neck. Sure enough, he felt a slippery touch, as if blood had been smeared on it.
And at this moment, not far away in the corridor, it seemed someone was walking slowly.
In this grim and eerie villa, such sudden footsteps sounded particularly chilling.
“Could there be other dolls?”
Deng Shuyuan’s body couldn’t help but tremble, but Liu Haoyu narrowed his eyes.
He felt a dangerous aura.
But he didn’t sound an alarm in his heart, which meant…
These footsteps belonged to the fierce ghost in the villa.
The temperature in the air kept getting lower.
The candle in Deng Shuyuan’s hand burned intensely.
And the candle body began to melt rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It seemed something terrifying was approaching them.
These footsteps were clearly heading for the two of them.
With the ferocious ghost faces appearing on their necks, it meant they had been targeted by the fierce ghost.
Now, death was approaching.
An atmosphere of panic permeated the aisle, but Liu Haoyu was not afraid. Instead, he stood up, picked up the axe, and walked towards the direction of the footsteps.
“Brother Liu…”
Seeing Liu Haoyu like this, Deng Shuyuan was greatly surprised and said.
“Is everything really alright?”
“Don’t worry.”
Liu Haoyu’s words made Deng Shuyuan breathe a sigh of relief.
“Even if there’s a problem, there’s no way for the two of us to escape now.”
Liu Haoyu smiled slightly, but in the light of the candle and with the fire axe on his shoulder, the man looked even more terrifying than a ghost.
Even Deng Shuyuan was startled. By the time he reacted, Liu Haoyu had already walked several steps ahead.
There was no other way. He could only grit his teeth and follow.
When the two passed a corner, they finally saw the mastermind behind the haunting of the villa.
It was indeed the woman they had seen in the remnant soul.
However, compared to the seductive and flirtatious appearance in the footage, this woman’s features were all sewn shut. She was naked, and only some chains covered her body.
Her body was covered in blood.
Especially on her thighs, bright red blood flowed down from the roots.
No one knew what she had experienced in her life.
But it was certain that she had caused the deaths of many people after her death.
Liu Haoyu gripped the fire axe in his hand, his face cold.
This woman was not to be pitied.
At this moment, the fierce ghost suddenly turned around. Although her eyes were sewn shut.
Liu Haoyu could feel her resentful gaze.
It was as if she wanted to drag all living people down to hell.
Her soul had completely dispersed.
Already sharp-tongued and petty in life, she was left with only hatred for the world after death.
And because her remains were buried inside the Buddha statue, she had gained even greater power after transforming into a fierce ghost.
This power even allowed her to return here from who knows where and kill the owner of this villa.
Therefore, there was no possibility of communication with this fierce ghost; she could only be completely purified.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
“Boom!!”
Lightning had a strong restraining effect on fierce ghosts, especially since Liu Haoyu’s strength surpassed this fierce ghost.
With just one strike, she let out an angry and piercing scream.
But she did not die. Instead, she shrieked and flew towards the two of them.
And at this moment, Liu Haoyu noticed that the ghost face on Deng Shuyuan’s neck began to bulge, turning into a huge abscess.
It was as if something was about to drill out of him.
Deng Shuyuan also felt a heaviness on his body. He couldn’t move, and even breathing became difficult, as if his lungs were filled with cement.
Seeing this situation, Liu Haoyu knew he couldn’t delay. The longer he delayed, the greater the danger for Deng Shuyuan and himself.
So, he took out a flask from his backpack, took a big gulp, and then sprayed it onto the fire axe in his hand.
Immediately, flames ignited the entire axe, and the firelight illuminated everything in the corridor.
The firelight shone on the man’s haggard face, coupled with that terrifying smile…
He truly looked like a murderer.
Liu Haoyu wiped the strong liquor from the corner of his mouth and said with a sinister grin.
“Time for phase two, buddy.”
Before the words were even finished, he charged forward.
The completely irrational fierce ghost didn’t know that her strength was inferior to Liu Haoyu’s. With only the desire to kill left, she rushed forward recklessly.
But soon, she overestimated her strength.
Or rather, she underestimated Liu Haoyu.
The man, ignoring the resentment surrounding him, grabbed the female ghost by the arm and performed a shoulder throw.
The fierce ghost, thrown to the ground, was a bit dazed.
She couldn’t understand. Her resentment was so strong, and ordinary people would lose their minds or even die upon touching it.
But why… was this man completely fine?
Her remaining soul couldn’t comprehend such profound questions.
She only knew that she had to resist, had to kill the man standing on top of her.
Just like resisting the abuse she had suffered in life.
But Liu Haoyu’s strength was far greater than hers, and he ignored her proud resentment.
For a moment, she couldn’t break free from the suppression.
“Die!”
The gleaming axe blade fell and rose repeatedly.
One axe, two axes, three axes…
The woman’s sharp and venomous screams echoed continuously in the corridor, making one’s scalp tingle.
The ghost face on Liu Haoyu’s neck grew two hands, trying to stop all this.
But the man had gone berserk, and he directly tore off the two ghostly hands that had grown.
The screams became weaker and weaker, and before long, the fierce ghost below finally fell silent.
And Liu Haoyu, covered in blood like a murderer, finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the unrecognizable bloody flesh in front of him.
He leaned against the wall and sat down slowly, lighting a cigarette with trembling hands.
In the pitch-black corridor, only the cigarette in Liu Haoyu’s hand emitted a faint glow.
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Liu Haoyu asked.
“Hoo… Deng Shuyuan, are you still alive?”
Although the ghost face on Deng Shuyuan’s neck had disappeared, he remained completely unresponsive, as if he were dead.
Liu Haoyu painstakingly supported himself and went to check his breathing.
Fortunately, the man was still alive, but he had passed out due to suffocation.
Liu Haoyu helped him up, preparing to leave this haunted place.
But at that moment, the lights in the corridor flickered on again.
The light made the entire corridor turn a deep red.
Although it was a festive red, in such a place, it looked extremely eerie and terrifying.
Behind Liu Haoyu was darkness.
In front of him was a bloody path leading to hell.
When Liu Haoyu’s gaze reached the farthest point, he fell silent.
There, he saw a bloody, rusty iron door standing quietly.
Well, there was one small detail worth noting.
The small shoeprints on the red door were gone.
