Chapter Fifteen: Your Wife is Quite Scary
What the hell am I supposed to care about this for!
Liu Haoyu’s heart was filled with nothing but curses.
This Red Gate… it’s really like a lingering spirit that won’t leave.
If it could be personified, it would at least be a yandere-level character.
But now is not the time to be thinking about such nonsense.
After a fierce battle with the fierce ghost, Liu Haoyu was already at his limit.
He didn’t have a sure win against the Red Gate to begin with, and in this situation, even with all his might, he couldn’t defeat it.
The only thing he could do was escape.
The problem was that the red light in front of him and the darkness behind him formed a clear dividing line.
Liu Haoyu could clearly feel the distance between himself and the Red Gate rapidly shrinking.
And he couldn’t cross this dividing line and escape into the darkness.
He could only watch helplessly as the Red Gate got closer and closer.
In this situation, all he could do was shout, “Qin Liu, save me!”
Thus, Liu Haoyu placed his hand on the Red Jade, trying to release Qin Liu from within.
However, when his hand landed on the Red Jade, his expression froze completely.
There was nothing inside the Red Jade!
Where is Qin Liu the ghost?!
Liu Haoyu stood frozen in place, at this moment completely locked onto by the Red Gate.
His entire body was ice-cold, and no matter how he tried, he couldn’t regain control of his body.
That invisible dividing line pushed him closer and closer to the Red Gate, and he could do nothing.
In Liu Haoyu’s sight, time seemed to stretch out, as if every minute and every second had stopped.
The Red Gate slowly opened.
Familiar faces peeked out from within.
Whether it was the mature and steady Officer Li, or the merchant-like Old Wang… they all maintained the same identical smile.
They smiled brightly, happily, as if welcoming Liu Haoyu to join their party.
But Liu Haoyu knew that once he entered the Red Gate, it would be certain death!
Liu Haoyu tried to regain control of his body, but the Red Gate was terrifyingly strong. Even a full-powered Liu Haoyu wouldn’t have an easy time against it, let alone in his current exhausted state.
“Tap… tap… tap…”
However, at this moment, footsteps sounded from behind Liu Haoyu.
The footsteps were very light and very steady.
Just like the sound of a young girl stepping on the ground.
Who was coming?
Liu Haoyu, who had lost control of his body, couldn’t turn around, but he clearly heard the footsteps approaching.
And at this moment, all the lights in the corridor went out, and the Red Gate instantly disappeared.
Liu Haoyu was less than three meters away from the wall at the end of the corridor.
Just a little further…
Liu Haoyu slumped to the ground powerlessly, gasping for breath.
The footsteps stopped behind him.
Liu Haoyu struggled to turn his head to look.
He found Qin Liu, with vacant eyes, standing behind him.
At this moment, Qin Liu was not floating, but standing firmly on the ground, like a normal person.
In her hand, she held a broken lantern.
Their eyes met, and Liu Haoyu, looking at Qin Liu wearing her JK sailor uniform inside out, a smile appearing on his tired face.
“You’re wearing it inside out.”
Qin Liu didn’t speak. She just gently squatted down and used her hand to wipe the blood from Liu Haoyu’s face.
Liu Haoyu could clearly feel those small, fair hands wiping his face.
At such close proximity, Liu Haoyu could clearly see Qin Liu’s expressionless, vacant eyes.
“Are you Qin Liu?”
Liu Haoyu, as if going through the motions, asked this question again.
Qin Liu tilted her head, trying to show that mole again.
But because her clothes were inside out and the collar was very small, she couldn’t pull it down.
If she used too much force, the clothes might be damaged.
Perhaps Qin Liu also noticed this, she put down the collar, and stared blankly at Liu Haoyu for a while.
The young girl then pulled up her entire outfit.
The girl’s flawless body was completely exposed before Liu Haoyu.
It turned out that Qin Liu was truly not wearing anything at all…
After confirming that Liu Haoyu could see clearly.
The girl lowered her clothes again, but a faint blush appeared on her face.
However, hidden by the light of the lantern, Liu Haoyu didn’t notice.
Qin Liu reached out again, wiping the blood from Liu Haoyu’s face.
“Is this your blood?”
“No.”
Qin Liu’s voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuation, like a cold machine.
She tilted her head and pointed to the indescribable mass of flesh not far away.
“It’s his?”
“Yes.”
Then, Qin Liu raised the lantern she was holding, and under the dim light, both the fierce ghost and the life-sized doll were sucked into the lantern.
Liu Haoyu also noticed that the light of the lantern seemed to have become brighter.
Was she using the lantern to absorb souls?
Liu Haoyu was a little surprised.
Logically, given the name “guide,” shouldn’t she be transcending departed souls and leading them to the underworld?
Without waiting for Liu Haoyu to think further, the girl who should have been standing in front of him had vanished without a trace.
Liu Haoyu instinctively felt for the Red Jade in his pocket.
As expected… Qin Liu had returned to the Red Jade and was sound asleep.
She was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of what had happened outside.
——-
“Hiss…”
When Qin Liu woke up, she looked at her clothes, which were tight on her body, in a dazed and confused manner, and muttered.
“Why are my clothes inside out? Oh, no…”
And it wasn’t just about wearing them inside out.
The problem was that Qin Liu clearly remembered taking off her clothes before going to sleep.
As for why she took them off to sleep?
Know that entering the Red Jade was like being soaked in warm water.
With such a comfortable and refreshing feeling, why wouldn’t she take off her clothes to enjoy it?
After all, a person wouldn’t wear clothes to soak in hot springs, right?
So why were her clothes on now, and even inside out?
Qin Liu, with a head full of questions, couldn’t figure it out.
Could it be that she sleepwalked and put on her clothes while sleepwalking?
Besides, Liu Haoyu couldn’t have entered the Red Jade to dress her.
Unless he had also turned into a ghost.
So after careful consideration, Qin Liu felt it would be better to sleep with her clothes on in the future.
If she really sleepwalked and went outside, and Liu Haoyu saw everything clearly…
She would truly wish she could just bash her head against a block of tofu.
Lost in thought, Qin Liu left the Red Jade.
Upon exiting, she found herself in the back seat of a car, with Liu Haoyu sitting beside her, eyes closed and resting, while Deng Shuyuan was driving.
As he drove, the guy with dyed hair recalled his memories before passing out last night.
He had blacked out twice last night. Once, he was choked unconscious by the female ghost.
Once, he woke up, saw the Red Gate, and passed out again.
However, before fainting after seeing the Red Gate, he had naturally seen that terrifying red shadow walking leisurely towards the Red Gate…
Thinking of this, Deng Shuyuan felt the cold aura behind him, and forced a smile onto his face.
“Brother Liu, your wife is quite scary… Oh no, quite amazing.”
