I Am a Fierce Ghost, How Could I Possibly Submit to Living Under Others – Chapter 148

Chapter Thirty-Two: Ominous Premonition

“Grass!”

Seeing this answer, Qin Liu wished she could just throw the book on the ground.

Why did this thing become so unreliable when it fell into her hands?

Looking at the answer, the young girl’s face turned red, and her heart was full of unspoken curses.

Afterwards, she tried to leave some questions on the Black Book, but the other party remained completely silent, not reacting at all.

It was as if it had turned into an ordinary smutty book.

Seeing this, Qin Liu could only helplessly put down the Black Book.

Could it be that this thing also recognized its owner, and only Liu Haoyu could ask questions?

But as far as she remembered, Liu Haoyu wasn’t the owner of the Black Book either?

Qin Liu became a little suspicious. She vaguely felt that the “self” in the dream might have something to do with her mission.

However, due to the lack of information, she was unable to figure out what it meant.

Did the lantern in her hand seem to absorb souls?

Qin Liu picked up the lantern and carefully examined the flame inside.

It was just ordinary candlelight, looking no different from usual flames.

“Tsk… whatever, I won’t think about it anymore.”

Qin Liu never liked to think.

If she liked to think, she wouldn’t have been a pitiful dropout in her previous life.

Placing the lantern on the table, Qin Liu looked at the man on the bed.

He was still sleeping, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Previously, when he slept, he would always break out in a cold sweat and have a contorted expression due to nightmares.

It was rare for him to sleep so peacefully now.

But even though he was sleeping peacefully, the haggardness and exhaustion on his face remained.

Qin Liu looked at the man, couldn’t help but extend her small, soft hand, and gently brushed aside his messy hair.

She had to admit, this man was quite good-looking. If he got a good few days’ rest and got rid of those dark circles, he would probably become even more handsome.

But alas…

As Deng Xiaolin said, if you were to lift his skull, perhaps there would be no brain inside, only white stockings and talismans for catching ghosts.

Of course, it was also possible that he was deliberately acting emotionally unintelligent, and in fact, that possibility was probably greater.

“Mmm…”

Perhaps it was the strands of hair being brushed aside that made Liu Haoyu feel a little itchy.

The man turned over, facing Qin Liu.

His warm breath on Qin Liu made the young girl’s face flush slightly.

She took a step back and said.

“Sleep well.”

Time passed until the afternoon, and Liu Haoyu, who had slept all day, finally Woke up.

He opened his eyes, and vaguely, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance.

The fragrance was very faint, but it was indeed around him.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that a book was floating on the stool by the bed.

This was the book he hadn’t had time to burn for Qin Liu.

“Is it good?”

Hearing Liu Haoyu’s question, Qin Liu snapped back to reality from the world within the book.

“It’s pretty good.”

Now, Qin Liu, having been away from the hustle and bustle of the mortal world for so long, with her life rhythm completely slowed down, could naturally calm down and appreciate these physical novels.

If this were in modern society, this book might sit on the shelf for an entire year without anyone touching it.

But it was different here; Qin Liu had very few ways to pass the time.

Apart from these books, the most she could do was play with Liu Haoyu’s mobile phone.

However, there was no internet in the haunted house, and Liu Haoyu’s phone almost only had communication apps. There were no other games or novels or anything else.

You could say that compared to a young man, he was more like a mature middle-aged man.

“That’s good. I plan to go to Jiangliu City tonight, do you want to come?”

“Of course!”

As soon as she heard they were going to Jiangliu City, Qin Liu’s small eyes sparkled.

She was like a country child, full of yearning for the neon lights of the city.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Liu Haoyu listed his belongings and continued.

“I’ll buy you a maid outfit by the way.”

“…”

Qin Liu, who had been very excited, now had the urge not to go.

But looking at the JK sailor uniform she had been wearing for countless days…

Never mind, she’d buy it.

How to put it, Qin Liu was already accustomed to Liu Haoyu’s preferences.

It felt like rape, and after getting used to it, it was still quite comfortable.

“I thought you would react strongly.”

Liu Haoyu didn’t expect Qin Liu to be so indifferent now.

He clearly remembered that in the dream, this young girl was so excited to see him that she flew away, leaving only a shadow.

With just one scream, she disappeared completely.

So at that time, he knew that the emotionless Qin Liu had been taken back by Qin Liu in her body.

However, no matter which Qin Liu it was, they should be the same person.

The Black Book was not wrong about this.

That emotionless Qin Liu was more like her own subconscious.

Instead of another person.

After all, if it were another person, wouldn’t all the effort he put into building goodwill have been in vain?

Liu Haoyu shrugged and hailed a kind driver passing by.

“…”

Why call him kind?

Because after one person and one ghost arrived in Jiangliu City, the driver didn’t even want money.

Wasn’t that a kind act?

Standing in front of the barbecue stall, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but sigh.

“Although people in this society are cold, there are still many kind people.”

“Heh heh…”

Qin Liu glanced at Liu Haoyu.

Of course, her gaze was fixed on the skewers in Liu Haoyu’s hand.

They smelled so good…

Qin Liu, who had been eating skewers for two days, looked at the skewers in Liu Haoyu’s hand, and her mouth began to water uncontrollably.

“Want some?”

Liu Haoyu placed the skewer on the stool opposite him.

To avoid suspicion, he completely put his phone on the table, pretending to be on a video call.

“I want some…”

“Then keep thinking about it.”

Liu Haoyu took back the skewer and began to enjoy it happily.

Qin Liu looked at the meat skewers that were moving away from her, and her resentment fell upon Liu Haoyu.

Even the temperature around them dropped a few degrees.

The people at the table next to Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but shiver.

“That’s strange, why is it so cold tonight?”

As Liu Haoyu was eating, a man in police uniform approached the barbecue stall.

He saw Liu Haoyu and showed a foxy smile on his face.

“Little Liu, sorry to keep you waiting.”

This person was Wang Wenqi.

He had intended to sit opposite Liu Haoyu, but seeing the phone on the table and what had just happened, he tactfully picked up a stool from the side and sat down.

“What do you want me for at this hour?”

He wasn’t just passing by, but had come because Liu Haoyu had called him.

Liu Haoyu put down the barbecue skewer in his hand and asked Wang Wenqi.

“Officer Wang, I have something I need your help with.”

“Oh? Tell me.”

Wang Wenqi didn’t expect Liu Haoyu to actually have something to ask of him.

Could it be about the Red Gate?

But in fact, Liu Haoyu wasn’t asking Wang Wenqi for help with the Red Gate.

He had bumped into it so many times that he knew that thing was not something Wang Wenqi could handle.

Even he himself didn’t have a sure win if he faced it directly.

Not to mention, this thing was very cunning. Time and time again, it would launch surprise attacks that were completely unexpected, leaving people with no defense.

So, instead of expecting Wang Wenqi to deal with it, it was better to get a few more Zhenlei Talismans for himself.

“Officer Wang, actually, I wanted to ask about a case of human trafficking.”

“Oh?”

Wang Wenqi was a bit surprised by this answer.

He took a few skewers from Liu Haoyu and continued.

“Little Liu, why are you interested in this kind of thing? Do you really want to be the Batman of Jiangliu City?”

“Of course not,” Liu Haoyu recalled the cleaning lady he met at the hotel and continued, “That should have happened about a year ago…”

It took about two minutes for Liu Haoyu to explain everything that happened at the hotel.

Wang Wenqi was stunned after hearing this and said.

“There’s a ghost in that hotel?”

Seeing Wang Wenqi’s reaction, Liu Haoyu helplessly covered his face.

“Your Special Task Force… are you really ghost hunters?”

Liu Haoyu’s words also made Wang Wenqi a little embarrassed.

The officer cleared his throat and said.

“What can we do? We’re short-handed. There are only four of us in the Special Task Force in Jiangliu City, and we’re always busy. So… Little Liu, why don’t you consider it?”

Even now, Wang Wenqi still wanted to recruit Liu Haoyu.

After all, such a young ghost exorcist, and with such strength, it would be a pity not to join the Special Task Force.

“Our team has a beautiful logistics officer… uh… sorry, forget I said anything.”

Halfway through, Wang Wenqi remembered that there was a “person” next to Liu Haoyu.

So, he wisely shut his mouth.

However, Liu Haoyu still shook his head, and he said to Wang Wenqi.

“I’ll consider it after I’ve completely resolved this matter.”

He had only unlocked the Red Gate’s lock; it had only hidden itself, and this matter was far from over.

Therefore, before it came back to find him, Liu Haoyu decided to take on this commission first.

“Alright, Little Liu, if you’re interested, you can contact me anytime.”

Wang Wenqi said regretfully and continued.

“We went to that hotel for an exorcism when it was rebuilt. Since that exorcism, no supernatural events have occurred, so I was surprised when you said it was haunted again.”

“So, people from your Special Task Force can disguise themselves as street Taoists.”

“Well…” Wang Wenqi chuckled and said, “People always seek comfort, right? The impression people get from me performing an exorcism in a police uniform is completely different from me performing an exorcism in a Taoist robe.”

After Wang Wenqi finished speaking, he brought the topic back.

“So, there’s a ghost with extremely strong resentment in that hotel, and she wants you to help her find her sold daughter?”

“Yes.”

Liu Haoyu knew that although he could also find people using talismans or other methods, it required a medium, and the efficiency would definitely not be as high as that of police officers with a Heavenly Eye system.

“Little Liu, finding people is really not easy, let alone finding someone who was sold a year ago. Xu Wanlin… I seem to have some impression of that name.”

Wang Wenqi pondered for a moment and finally remembered something. He clapped his hand and said.

“Wait, I think I remember!”

“A year ago, there was a cleaning lady at that hotel who died of a heart attack due to overwork. After her death, her 15-year-old daughter, who was seriously ill, was taken away by a relative.”

“Oh?” Liu Haoyu thought of a possibility. “Could it be that the relative sold her daughter?”

“That’s a very high possibility.”

In fact, apart from murder cases, the hardest cases to discover are crimes committed between relatives.

It is precisely because of this that so many people are deceived into areas in Southeast Asia by acquaintances or relatives.

“But these files are all at the police station… Do you want to go to the police station?”

“Okay.”

After Liu Haoyu finished eating, he got into Wang Wenqi’s police car.

In the car, he took out his mobile phone.

While eating barbecue, he had sent two text messages to Deng Shuyuan, but he hadn’t received any reply yet.

Was he safe?

Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but frown.

As a precaution, Liu Haoyu called Deng Shuyuan.

In the quiet police car, only the “beep-beep” sound of Liu Haoyu’s phone call remained.

However, as time passed, this “beep-beep” sound eventually turned into a cold female electronic voice.

“I’m sorry, the user you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later…”

Hearing this voice, Liu Haoyu’s brows furrowed, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

Wang Wenqi, who was good at reading people’s expressions, naturally noticed Liu Haoyu’s expression.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but ask.

“Little Liu, looking at your expression, did something happen?”

“There is indeed something that makes me very uneasy.”

Liu Haoyu looked at the “unconnected” on his phone. This vague premonition made his spine chill.

“Officer Wang, may I ask, when you guys go down the mountain or when the traffic police tow cars, have you seen a white sedan parked on the roadside? The license plate number is Jiang S582D, and the model is Sylphy.”

“Haven’t seen it. Why are you suddenly asking this? Is that your car?”

“No, it’s my friend’s car…”

Liu Haoyu’s forehead began to sweat profusely, and that weird and uneasy feeling kept surging in his heart.

If Wang Wenqi hadn’t seen it, and the traffic police hadn’t towed it away, then that car must have been driven by Deng Shuyuan.

But where was he now?

More importantly, the key was on him, and the spare key was also in the hotel luggage. So how did he drive the car away?

Or had he already become a ghost?
