Chapter 81: A Load Off One’s Mind
Listening to Su Luoluo’s words, Liu Haoyu didn’t speak and just quietly squatted down.
At this moment, Su Luoluo thought Liu Haoyu was going to scold her, so she closed her eyes and said very calmy.
“Scold me if you want, I’m just a homeless orphan now.”
Liu Haoyu naturally wouldn’t scold this pitiful child, he just spoke in a calm tone to avoid provoking her.
“That place can’t be called your home.”
Su Luoluo didn’t feel happy because of Liu Haoyu’s words.
She thought that after death, everything would be empty. She never expected to become like this.
She originally wanted to go home, but that place really couldn’t be called home.
So she didn’t go back, and instead went to a classmate’s house on the same floor to stay for a while before leaving tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, she actually scared the other party.
Naturally, she felt extremely guilty.
Su Luoluo spoke like a child who had made a mistake.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come here.”
“It’s fine, you didn’t intend to harm anyone.”
Liu Haoyu reached out, trying to touch the girl’s head, but his hand passed through her without any warning.
It seemed that being able to touch Qin Liu was purely a special case.
Su Luoluo’s head shrunk even lower.
She hugged her knees, with a gloomy expression on her face, unsure if it was envy or some other thought.
“That sister who was with you just now, she should be your wife, right?”
“She’s so beautiful… and she doesn’t look much older than me…”
Liu Haoyu nodded after hearing this and said.
“Even though she’s always reluctant to admit it, I don’t have any objections if you call her my wife.”
Su Luoluo’s initially bad mood made the corner of her mouth twitch when she heard this.
“So she’s the one with objections?”
Now Su Luoluo understood. The sister wearing casual clothes and white stockings just now might not be Liu Haoyu’s wife at all.
“You’ve become a ghost and are lingering in this world. I assume you have some obsession. Tell me, perhaps I can help you.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, Su Luoluo seemed to remember something. She chuckled, and the gloom on her face completely dissipated.
“Didn’t you ask me to wear white stockings before, uncle? I remember that very clearly.”
Seeing Su Luoluo’s smile return, Liu Haoyu continued.
“Well… you’d have to grow up a bit for that. At your age, it would be illegal for me.”
“But I’m a ghost now, and ghosts are not protected by the law.”
“Doesn’t that mean you should be afraid of me becoming a big bad wolf?”
“I’m not afraid…” The young girl buried her face behind her knees and said weakly, “You’re a good person, a very good person.”
Facing the girl’s sincere voice, Liu Haoyu sighed and continued.
“So what are your true intentions? If your obsession is really just to show me your white stockings and then disappear, that’s unacceptable. It would leave a shadow in my heart.”
“How could I disappear? Of course, I have things I want to do.”
The young girl looked up and showed Liu Haoyu a very bright smile.
This was the first time Liu Haoyu had seen such a happy look on the girl’s face.
The burden on her seemed to have disappeared, like a bird that had regained its freedom and could fly carefree.
“You’re right, this world is very big…”
“There are many beautiful things outside, for example, your wife is really cute.”
Su Luoluo blinked her eyes playfully, then continued.
“So I plan to go out and explore on my own, to measure the outside world with my own two feet, and to see the beautiful scenery of my country…”
“And to meet interesting people like you.”
The corner of the young girl’s mouth rose slightly, her eyes filled with hope for the future.
If she were alive now, it might be more convenient, but…
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu helplessly sighed again.
She exchanged her life for the opportunity to fly freely.
Perhaps this was a good ending for her?
“However, I don’t have anywhere to go now, that…”
Su Luoluo said a little shyly.
“Can I stay at your place for a while?”
“Although I seem very cheerful now, I’m still feeling a little unwell in my heart.”
Regarding this, Liu Haoyu said.
“Of course, no problem.” As he spoke, he took out a piece of red jade from his pocket. “Come inside. It’s safer inside the red jade.”
“Hehe~ You really are a great person, thank you!”
Su Luoluo entered the red jade.
The dim room returned to calm, and the smile on Liu Haoyu’s lips gradually faded.
He put on his gas mask again, transforming into the masked murderer wandering in the darkness.
However, he wasn’t killing people, but ghosts.
“Hoo… Now, it’s time to settle things with the Red Gate.”
The man took a deep breath, and then followed the aura left by the Red Gate, chasing forward.
That Red Gate seemed to want to take Su Luoluo’s soul, but he stopped it.
After being chopped by his axe, it was already heavily wounded, and now it was even more seriously injured.
Under these circumstances, it was impossible for it to defeat him.
But the Red Gate, as a ghost that could cause catastrophic disasters, probably had more tricks up its sleeve, so he had to be cautious.
“Where can you hide?”
“This place has already been sealed off by the Special Task Force’s barrier. No matter how much you run, you can’t escape.”
“Why don’t you surrender obediently? Perhaps I can spare your life.”
Liu Haoyu’s voice echoed in the deathly silent apartment.
The Special Task Force’s barrier had begun to take effect.
With so many people maintaining it, the barrier had already separated this place from reality. Anything that happened next would not be known to outsiders.
The Red Gate also seemed to realize this. When Liu Haoyu chased it to the rooftop, it finally stopped hiding.
Because it knew that with its aura locked on, any hiding was futile.
Liu Haoyu was very powerful, but it had already devised its countermeasure.
It might even be a countermeasure that killed two birds with one stone.
The moment Liu Haoyu stepped onto the rooftop, the door behind him closed on its own without any wind.
Everything around began to darken, and a strong smell of blood permeated the space.
Urgent footsteps could be heard from downstairs, and other members of the Special Task Force were preparing to join the encirclement.
At this moment, the rooftop door began to transform, eventually becoming the familiar Red Gate.
It stood silently in front of Liu Haoyu. The man and the gate exchanged no words.
Although silence fell upon the air, Liu Haoyu’s gaze became exceptionally sharp. He gripped the fire axe in his hand, and his cold voice echoed in the darkness.
“Red Gate… Count your sins.”
