Chapter 63: Background
Facing Wang ② Jiu Ling Wu San Ba Qi Yi San Wen Qi’s question, Qin Liu was actually a little unsure how to answer.
Qin Liu’s current situation did not look like that of a living person.
Being confined to the house and only able to go out using Hong Yu did not feel very good, to be honest.
But as a ghost, she was almost free from many worries that humans had.
For example, what to eat for dinner.
Qin Liu could simply choose not to eat.
And up until her reincarnation, Qin Liu had never even visited a relative.
If she were to become human, she would not be able to enjoy many of the conveniences of being a ghost.
Moreover, more importantly, after she became human… what would Liu Haoyu think of her?
Would he treat her the same way he treated Deng Xiaolin?
“Mmm…”
While Qin Liu was thinking, the man beside her let out a muffled groan.
Liu Haoyu opened his eyes and saw Qin Liu beside him, seemingly talking to Wang Wenqi about something.
He covered his aching head and moved away from Qin Liu’s shoulder.
“What are you guys talking about?”
“You woke up so quickly?”
Wang Wenqi checked the time, Liu Haoyu had only slept for ten minutes.
“Do you want to sleep a bit longer?”
“My sleep is very light, so I wake up more suddenly.”
Liu Haoyu’s gaze fell on Qin Liu’s face.
This little ghost seemed to be troubled by something.
“So what were you talking about?”
“Just some trivial matters.”
Wang Wenqi smiled and then didn’t say anything more.
The police car was driving smoothly, and the radio in the car was broadcasting recent news.
The police officer’s gaze was fixed on the road ahead, but his thoughts were a bit scattered.
Through Old Deng, Wang Wenqi naturally knew Qin Liu’s identity.
By continuously searching for information and conducting investigations and analyses, he had a rough idea of the tragic past that had happened to this young girl.
Many things happened in the 70s and 80s.
Both openly and secretly.
A lot of the records from back then have been lost or destroyed.
Even so, Wang Wenqi, as an excellent police officer, still managed to find clues about Qin Liu.
This young girl was an abandoned infant, and no one knew her biological father or mother.
All that was known was that on a cold and harsh night, an old man found the infant abandoned at his doorway.
This person was Gu Qianyang, a very powerful ghost exorcist.
He adopted the infant and named her Qin Liu.
Due to the fragmented and incomplete information, Wang Wenqi was not sure why he adopted Qin Liu.
However, from the fragmented information, Wang Wenqi could tell that Qin Liu’s childhood was not very pleasant.
Although she was adopted into a wealthy family, the Gu family, she was discriminated against because she was adopted, and some even suggested arranging a marriage with another family.
This was, however, refused by Gu Qianyang.
Isolated and sealed off within the family, without relatives or friends, and no one to confide in.
Even Gu Qianyang, who adopted her, did not care about her situation.
It was as if she was just a discarded child.
Wang Wenqi could exaggerately speculate that Qin Liu had spoken fewer than ten words in her life.
More than ten years passed, and when Qin Liu had grown into a graceful young girl, Gu Qianyang, the ghost exorcist, gathered three other powerful ghost exorcists to prepare for a joint讨伐 of the Night Walker.
Wang Wenqi did not know the process and methods of the battle.
However, Wang Wenqi knew that after the battle ended, the Night Walker was heavily wounded, and Qin Liu was taken to a mansion.
The ritual was meant to merge the Night Walker with Qin Liu, turning her into a weapon that could be controlled.
However, for some unknown reason, perhaps the ritual went wrong, or perhaps it was an accidental gas leak, all the people in the mansion died after the ritual ended.
The mansion also turned into a deserted haunted house because of this.
The ghost exorcists who participated in the ritual all died in prison afterward.
Moreover, even the information mentioned above was inferred and pieced together by Wang Wenqi from the remaining fragmented records.
And information after the ritual was completely untraceable.
No one knew what happened after Qin Liu was sealed in the black coffin.
No one knew why she became a guide leading the deceased to the underworld.
All of this was a mystery.
“We’re here.”
Wang Wenqi parked the police car and said to Liu Haoyu behind him.
“Go back and get some rest.”
“And when you get out of the car, be sure to check if anyone is around. If someone sees your haggard appearance, they’ll think our People’s Police have done something to you.”
Amidst Wang Wenqi’s joking words, Liu Haoyu waved his hand and walked onto the street.
He yawned, his eyelids were almost drooping, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if he were seated on a stool, he would fall asleep instantly.
But for the little ghost beside him, who was drooling with desire, Liu Haoyu still mustered his spirit.
However, looking at him like this, Qin Liu couldn’t help but speak first.
“Are you really okay? How about you go back and sleep for a while?”
“I just earned five hundred yuan, so I naturally have to reward myself…”
Liu Haoyu said, his gaze couldn’t help but fall on Qin Liu.
“You… what do you want to do?”
Qin Liu’s keen intuition suddenly sensed something was wrong.
She took two steps back and looked at Liu Haoyu with a vigilant gaze.
However, the latter pretended that nothing had happened and said.
“It’s nothing, tell me, what do you want to eat?”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, although Qin Liu was a little suspicious, she finally decided to cast her gaze toward the breakfast street.
Looking at the dazzling array of breakfasts, Qin Liu was extremely tempted.
If possible, she wished she could choose one of each.
But her gaze then fell on Liu Haoyu.
This ghost exorcist was poor, and she was always using his money… wasn’t that not good?
Liu Haoyu yawned and realized Qin Liu was looking at him.
“Why are you looking at me? Choose whatever you want to eat.”
“This… is this really okay?”
A hint of emotion flowed from Qin Liu’s heart.
“Anyway, I’ll eat after you finish anyway.”
Then, after hearing these words, her small face turned dark.
At this moment, she really wanted to point at this man, who was as straight as alloy steel.
However, Qin Liu was a person of quality, and she naturally restrained her foul language.
Moreover, she was living under someone else’s roof now, and she felt indebted, so she should honestly see what delicious food there was.
While Qin Liu was choosing breakfast, Liu Haoyu’s gaze was fixed on his phone.
Before, he had received a reward for a commission with Deng Shuyuan, and at that time, he had already bought Qin Liu a new set of clothes online.
White stockings and black Mary Jane shoes were a perfect combination, and if you added the newly bought clothes, it would be even better.
However, Liu Haoyu looked at his phone, then at Qin Liu.
After careful comparison, he found…
There was a problem with the size given by the merchant.
The skirt was accidentally bought too short.
