Chapter 49 Don’t Leave Her Alone
“Ah… it’s nothing.”
Qin Liu snapped back to reality from her daze.
She was still frightened by the strange reflection of herself.
Although it wasn’t the first time, Qin Liu couldn’t help but feel a trace of fear every time she saw that expressionless reflection of herself.
What was even more terrifying was that if Liu Haoyu hadn’t arrived in time, she would have almost involuntarily reached out and touched her reflection in the mirror.
According to the plot of horror movies, if one touched the fierce ghost in the mirror, the outcome would be absolutely terrible.
“Tha… Thank you.”
Qin Liu patted her chest, still shaken. Liu Haoyu looked at the young girl and said:
“There’s no need to thank me, it’s just a little ghost that only knows how to scare people.”
Liu Haoyu said calmly. Qin Liu didn’t probe further, she was already accustomed to Liu Haoyu’s profound strength.
It was as if even King Yama came, this person wouldn’t even bat an eye.
“I’ll tidy up. I’ll compensate Mr. Deng for this silver mirror later. You can go back first.”
“Okay, okay.”
Liu Haoyu, with a trace of coldness in his eyes… one had to admit, he was a bit handsome.
Although this man wasn’t always serious, when he was serious, his appeal to women was considerable.
Let alone women, even Qin Liu was a bit lost in thought as she looked at him now.
“No, no, no… what am I spacing out for?”
Qin Liu shook her small head and then left the warehouse of the folk custom shop.
After she left, Liu Haoyu picked up the silver mirror shards on the ground, his gaze solemn.
If he had been a little late and allowed Qin Liu to touch the person in the mirror, what would have been the result?
Liu Haoyu took out the Black Book.
However, he didn’t need to do anything, the Black Book flipped to a blank page on its own.
Its tone seemed to carry a hint of mockery.
“Only you would dare to call a guide a little ghost that only knows how to scare people.”
To this, Liu Haoyu shrugged and wrote with his own blood.
” That’s not what I think, but rather she has always thought of herself as just a little ghost that can only scare people.”
The Black Book seemed to say profoundly.
“Heh heh… this is a good thing for you.”
“Let me give you some bad news, no matter how much you try to hide it, Qin Liu is still slowly awakening.”
“She is the guide who guards the Yellow Springs, guiding the lost souls with the lamp of reincarnation.”
“But she is also the terrifying Night Walker, and anyone who has seen her true face will surely die.”
Liu Haoyu naturally did not agree with the Black Book’s words.
“Now it’s not just me, Mr. Deng has also seen her true face, so why are we fine?”
To explain to Liu Haoyu, the Black Book didn’t even drink blood.
The pages were originally filled with bloody words, but now the blood began to drip down bit by bit.
After creating two more blank pages, the Black Book’s reply gradually appeared.
“Because in her heart, she doesn’t want you to leave.”
“She knows that once Mr. Deng dies in the Red Gate, you will inevitably end up with Deng Xiaolin.”
“And she didn’t take Mr. Deng away simply because it would make you leave her.”
“Remember, whether she is the guide or Qin Liu, she is always alone.”
“I cannot see through her fate, nor do I know what ending she would meet if she had taken Mr. Deng.”
“But what is certain is that the ending would definitely not be good.”
“Please cherish the Qin Liu you have now, and never let her fall into the abyss of darkness.”
“Absolutely… don’t let her be alone.”
This was the Black Book’s reply, so heavy that it was suffocating.
“What should I do?”
“Stabilize Qin Liu, find the Red Gate, open the Black Coffin. When she firmly believes she is human, this crisis will be completely resolved.”
Liu Haoyu also fell silent for a long time before closing the Black Book.
The man looked at the silver mirror shards in his hand, then threw them all into the trash can and closed the warehouse door.
————————
At the dining table, Bai Anting and Deng Xiaolin, two young girls, were chatting and laughing about some supernatural stories.
These two girls were quite bold, and they were telling their stories with great enthusiasm.
But these ghost stories, for Qin Liu… were a bit too much.
She sat upright on the stool, trembling, but not daring to interrupt.
“Speaking of which, have you heard about the ghost rumors at the Second Primary School in Shishan Town, Jiangliu City?”
“Of course!” Deng Xiaolin said proudly, “I’ve heard about it a long time ago. Because the primary school doesn’t have evening self-study, and the school is in a remote location, it’s natural for there to be ghost rumors.”
“That’s right, right. Not to mention, half a year ago, I went to that school alone for an adventure. It was so exciting!”
Listening to their conversation, Qin Liu, while scared, couldn’t help but complain.
This Bai Anting’s life is really tough.
“You’ve been to that place?”
“You know, I’m a streamer who does supernatural content… Although I used to be a virtual streamer, it doesn’t stop me from making supernatural videos.”
“Some people have heard that at night, there are sounds of children playing hide-and-seek.”
“But usually, you hear these sounds around midnight…”
“Tell me, how can children come out to play hide-and-seek at midnight?”
As Bai Anting spoke, Qin Liu had already shrunk her body, but her eyes were still fixed on Bai Anting, as if waiting for her to continue.
“So I summoned the courage, brought my camera and mobile phone, climbed over the school wall, went inside, and wandered around for a whole night. Guess what happened?”
“There really were sounds of children playing hide-and-seek, but no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find the source of the sound.”
“What’s even more terrifying is that I wandered around there all night and couldn’t get out. I only returned home the next day, and when I tried to edit the video… there were no sounds of children playing in the video, only the eerily quiet school playground.”
After listening to Bai Anting’s words, Deng Xiaolin said thoughtfully.
“It should be the souls of children, right? But since they didn’t harm you, they probably didn’t have any hostility.”
“Perhaps so. Honestly, I didn’t know ghosts existed in this world back then. If I had known… well, I probably would have gone to take a look anyway.”
As the two were talking, Liu Haoyu also walked into the room.
He vaguely heard Bai Anting’s words and couldn’t help but say.
“You’re not planning to go do some ghost-themed live streaming, are you?”
“Of course not! I’m not a fool who risks my life for money.”
Bai Anting said indignantly.
“And because you snitched on me, my video account has been canceled by my parents.”
Liu Haoyu said without a hint of remorse.
“Well, I’m truly sorry.”
“But…” Bai Anting seemed to have thought of something and said, “Although I won’t go, a streamer company I know is planning to hold a night-time discussion live stream there.”
