Chapter 67 Suffocation
Child Qin Liu was hiding behind the red gate.
She was wearing a red wedding dress that was completely ill-fitting. On her small feet, she had on embroidered shoes that were obviously too big.
Because of the ill-fitting clothes, most of her shoulders were exposed to the air.
She raised her overly long sleeves, and a tender white little hand stretched out from inside.
Despite her timidity, she wore a very cute smile.
Perhaps because she hadn’t spoken for a long time, she mumbled, “I found you.”
Liu Haoyu took a step back vigilantly, gripped the brick in his hand tightly, and tentatively asked Child Qin Liu, “Are you Qin Liu?”
As for why he encountered the young Qin Liu in his dream, Liu Haoyu could only blame the red gate.
Moreover, although this Child Qin Liu looked cute.
The aura she exuded was a bit strange.
And in response to Liu Haoyu’s question, this Child Qin Liu not only didn’t answer but also said to herself, “Big brother, I found you.”
Young Qin Liu put her index finger to her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, “According to the rules…”
“You have to help me find others together.”
Before she finished speaking, a terrifying chill instantly crawled up Liu Haoyu’s spine.
The figure of the little loli in front of him began to blur, eventually turning into a terrifying red shadow.
“You… have to help me… find people together.”
“Now… you… are also a ghost… too.”
A terrifying chill instantly climbed into Liu Haoyu’s heart.
The red shadow slowly approached. Although Liu Haoyu couldn’t see her appearance, he could feel a pair of ice-cold hands reaching out to him.
These hands were very tender, with no calluses on them.
The cool and soft feeling gave a strange sense of comfort.
It made people unable to stop.
Of course, if possible, these little hands could move away from his neck.
How nice it would be if they could hold him somewhere else?
Even at this critical moment, Liu Haoyu was still very optimistic.
But optimism couldn’t change the fact that the little hands gripping his neck began to slowly tighten.
“Big brother… stay with me… I’m so lonely…”
Child Qin Liu’s voice was intermittent. Although she looked about ten years old before, she seemed to have difficulty speaking.
“Stay with me…”
The red shadow’s grip began to become heavier.
Liu Haoyu was already starting to suffocate.
He tried to struggle, but although the other party looked only ten years old, her strength was like that of an unshakeable vice.
No matter how hard Liu Haoyu tried, he couldn’t break free.
The pain of suffocation began to strip away his ability to resist.
The more he struggled, the tighter the little hands on his neck squeezed.
Unable to breathe, Liu Ha o u felt his lungs were about to explode.
His body convulsed uncontrollably due to lack of oxygen.
If this were reality, Liu Haoyu would have had ten thousand ways to break free from those little hands.
He could even grab her and pin her to the ground.
But this was a dream…
The dream was not Liu Haoyu’s home ground.
“Big brother…”
The red shadow began to gradually condense into a solid form. The originally tender and pleasant voice of Child Qin Liu was replaced by another voice.
“Stay with me forever.”
This voice carried a hint of mockery and playfulness, and in Liu Haoyu’s sight,
The red shadow in front of him finally condensed into a solid form.
It wasn’t Child Qin Liu at all.
The person in front of him was a rusty iron door stained with blood!
At this moment, this red gate was less than five centimeters away from Liu Haoyu.
Although it had solidified, the sensation on Liu Haoyu’s neck was still one of ice-cold hands.
These hands choked Liu Haoyu’s neck, ruthlessly cutting off all oxygen from the outside, giving him no chance to breathe.
In a state of severe oxygen deprivation, Liu Haoyu’s face turned increasingly purple, and his body became stiffer.
His vision was now blurred, and he couldn’t even struggle.
The oxygen content in his body was decreasing.
A buzzing sound, like a malfunctioning electronic device, began to echo in his ears.
His brain felt heavy, and his consciousness became muddled.
The red gate in front of him slowly opened, revealing a resentful and terrifying darkness.
In this darkness, Liu Haoyu seemed to see a montage of his life.
Behind the gate, his father and mother were smiling kindly, watching him silently.
Were they inviting him to join them?
Liu Haoyu’s consciousness could no longer think, and his body gradually went limp.
“I’ll help you!!”
In a daze, Liu Haoyu heard a voice, whether male or female, appear by his ear.
————————
“Cough, cough, cough!!”
When Liu Haoyu woke up again, he let out a violent cough.
Even though he was covering his neck, Liu Haoyu still couldn’t forget the suffocating feeling in his dream.
After recovering, Liu Haoyu took several deep breaths.
So… he had survived by luck again?
The red gate was terrifyingly powerful.
In reality, he could still fight the red gate, but in dreams, even with all his might, he couldn’t defeat it.
In the quiet bedroom, only Liu Haoyu’s gasping could be heard.
He lay on the bed, feeling weak, his gaze a little dazed, like a dismantled puppet.
At the last moment, he truly felt death approaching him.
And at the last moment, it seemed like the Black Book had saved his life.
Where was it now?
Liu Haoyu sat up. His body was still a bit limp, perhaps because he had just recovered from shock, and his consciousness was not very clear.
However, when he sat up, he realized that a delicate and cute girl was sitting by his bed.
In the girl’s hand was the Black Book.
However, for some reason, her cheeks were as red as ripe apples.
Why?
Liu Haoyu scratched his head in confusion and asked, “Qin Liu, did you wake me up?”
“Ah, no… this…”
Qin Liu’s gaze was a little unfocused. Looking at Liu Haoyu’s face, the blush on her face deepened.
It was so intense that it almost seemed to drip.
“The Black Book reminded me that something seemed to have happened to you, so I woke you up! There… there was no other meaning!”
After saying that, Qin Liu dropped the Black Book she was holding and, like a startled hamster, fled in a panic, passing through the wall, heading who knows where.
Liu Haoyu scratched his head in bewilderment, then looked at the Black Book and wrote on it, “What happened?”
“You were choked by the red gate and went into shock, do you know that? To the point where your breathing and heartbeat stopped.”
“Of course, I know that. So, what’s going on with Qin Liu?”
The Black Book was silent for a moment and then slowly displayed a line of text.
“Guess how you woke up after being choked into shock?”
Upon hearing the Black Book’s words, Liu Haoyu finally noticed.
There was a faint… sweet aroma lingering in his mouth.
