Chapter 22: Eat my shoe!
Although it had been a while since Liu Haoyu had seen Qin Liu, seeing her now, she was still so dazed and cute.
A half-joking remark had already caused her CPU to crash. What if he directly asked her for white stockings?
Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but mock himself.
He got up from Qin Liu, but Qin Liu also stood up with him.
Liu Haoyu looked at Qin Liu’s white stockings. Despite being on the ground, they weren’t dirty at all. This might be the advantage of being a ghost, right?
But because of this, the white stockings looked really amazing.
It made people want to reach out and touch them.
“Well, I’ll go check if that ghost infant has escaped…”
As Liu Haoyu turned away, he heard a rustling sound behind him, as if someone was… taking off their clothes?
“Here you go.”
Liu Haoyu turned back and saw that the white stockings on Qin Liu’s legs had disappeared and were now in the girl’s hands.
Qin Liu held the worn white stockings and handed them to Liu Haoyu, repeating.
“Here you go.”
“…?”
Liu Haoyu had not expected Qin Liu to take off her stockings for him, and for a moment, he didn’t know whether to accept them or not.
But Qin Liu didn’t care, and directly stuffed the stockings into Liu Haoyu’s hands.
“Here you go.”
As they say, nothing succeeds like the second time. Qin Liu had been so proactive, it would be a shame not to accept them.
Liu Haoyu looked at the warm white stockings in his hands with a sigh and a touch of emotion.
The Black Book always said that the guide and Qin Liu were the same person, but the usual Qin Liu was not like this at all.
“Eeeek?!”
Just as Liu Haoyu was wondering, Qin Liu in front of him let out a cute cry of distress.
She clutched her head and cried, saying.
“Did I really fall behind in the end?”
After Qin Liu fell asleep in the Hong Yu, she vaguely saw Liu Haoyu being grabbed by a ghost, so in her haste, she rushed out of the Hong Yu.
When she got back after saving him, she realized she couldn’t control her body at all!
So she could only watch herself take off her white stockings and hand them to Liu Haoyu.
It was only then that she regained control of her body, but it was too late.
Although she had thought about what Liu Haoyu’s reaction would be after giving him her stockings, that was just a thought!
As a normal person… no, a normal ghost, it’s okay to fantasize sometimes, right?
But no one wants to turn their fantasies into reality!
Looking at her bare, milky-white little feet, Qin Liu was almost in tears.
What made her even more unable to bear it was that her band-aid and stockings had also been given to Liu Haoyu.
“Speaking of which…”
Liu Haoyu touched the stockings in his hand, as if he was caught in a brainstorm.
“Do you think these stockings are the Emperor’s New Clothes in the eyes of outsiders?”
Don’t forget, outsiders couldn’t see Qin Liu, so her stockings were naturally invisible.
However, the phrase “Emperor’s New Clothes” was truly… “Eating my shoe!” It made Qin Liu, who was feeling cold in her lower body, completely flustered.
She blushed and reached out her hand towards Liu Haoyu, saying.
“Give me back my stockings!”
“If you want them, then…”
Liu Haoyu still wanted to show off, but it was then that he noticed a yellow object dangling inside the white stockings.
When he took it out and looked closely, he realized it was… a band-aid?
“Uh…”
Since Qin Liu had been sitting on the roof earlier, Liu Haoyu knew what that band-aid was for.
He looked at Qin Liu, who was shy and delicate at the moment, and this shyness began to turn into a killing intent.
He then looked at the slightly damp band-aid in his hand.
Finally, Liu Haoyu gave an awkward but polite smile.
“This… being naked is quite exhilarating, you know…”
“Slap!!”
A few minutes later, Qin Liu, whose face was as red as an apple, finally put on her stockings, and this time, she surprisingly wore panties.
As for Liu Haoyu, he wiped the shoe print off his face and then, as if nothing had happened, ran to the door covered in talismans to check it.
But it wasn’t because he was working diligently and responsibly.
It was because being slapped in the face by the embroidered shoe did hurt a bit.
Liu Haoyu looked back. Qin Liu’s cheeks were puffed out like a pufferfish, and her face was so red it looked like it could drip water.
Well… even when she was angry, she was still quite cute.
Shaking off the stray thoughts in his mind, Liu Haoyu turned his attention back to the door.
After careful inspection, this was not the rusted iron door with bloodstains they had encountered before.
This was just a normal wooden door, and the talismans on it were common items found in folk custom shops.
And the Eight Trigrams Mirror that had fallen and broken on the ground was just an ordinary mirror.
So, what caused the supernatural event… was likely the ghost infant.
Normally, ghost infants are usually one to three-year-old toddlers, but the girl they saw just now looked to be seven or eight years old.
Such an old ghost infant must have been raised by someone.
As for who it was?
The first person Liu Haoyu thought of was the missing electrician… Deng Kaiwen.
But the problem was, a ghost infant was a monster born from the union of a human and a ghost.
And Deng Kaiwen’s wife was not a ghost, but a living person.
So where did this ghost infant come from?
Liu Haoyu had a headache.
He pushed open the door covered in talismans and entered the room to investigate.
The ghost infant that Qin Liu had hit with the sole of her shoe was nowhere to be seen.
All that was left was a dense miasma of resentment filling the room, and a strong, pungent smell of blood.
Even after Liu Haoyu opened the windows, the strong smell of blood could not be dispelled.
And when Liu Haoyu turned on the lights in the room, he finally discovered that the room seemed to be used for hanging cured meat.
There were also several pieces of dried pork hanging from the ceiling, the age of which was unknown.
The cured meat also had signs of being gnawed by rats.
And perhaps due to imperfect preservation, the cured meat had already begun to rot severely.
White maggots could be seen wriggling in and out of the meat, which was disgusting.
Seeing that the room was empty, Liu Haoyu quickly left.
After all, it was really too smelly.
Outside the house, Qin Liu, with a red face, didn’t say much when she saw Liu Haoyu come out.
However, from Liu Haoyu’s observation, Qin Liu didn’t seem angry at all.
Don’t forget, he was just pretending to have low emotional intelligence; he was quite skilled at observing people’s expressions.
“Give me back my shoes.”
Qin Liu glare at Liu Haoyu angrily. At this moment, she was barefoot, so in front of Liu Haoyu, who had an obsession with feet, she had no sense of security.
Her feet, which were already cold, felt even colder, like ice cream, in front of him.
“Okay.”
Liu Haoyu took off the red embroidered shoes from his head and handed them to Qin Liu.
At the same time, he felt a little regret.
The main regret was losing such a useful ghost-exorcising tool like the embroidered shoes. There was nothing else.
To be honest, this was the truth.
After putting on the shoes, Qin Liu asked Liu Haoyu.
“Where did that ghost infant you mentioned just now go?”
“It’s gone.”
After answering Qin Liu’s question, Liu Haoyu’s gaze also fell on Qin Liu.
He clearly remembered that he hadn’t told Qin Liu about the ghost infant. So how did Qin Liu know?
Could it be that whatever the guide saw, Qin Liu also knew?
At this moment, Qin Liu thought for a moment and said to Liu Hao.
“Could it have returned to the fourth floor?”
“There is a possibility…”
Liu Haoyu thought about it and decided to go to the old woman’s house on the fourth floor to check the situation.
When they arrived at the door of the room on the fourth floor, the situation was completely different from during the day.
During the day, the door had been sealed with tape, but now there was nothing.
Next to the door, many plastic bags were piled up. These plastic bags emitted a strong stench and were constantly seeping out viscous, disgusting contents, leaving two black water stains on the ground.
Liu Haoyu avoided these plastic bags and gently knocked on the door.
In the dead of night, in the silent corridor, the knocking sound was so jarring and uncomfortable.
Liu Haoyu pressed his ear to the door and listened carefully, but there was no sound from inside. The room looked as if no one had lived there for a long time.
“There’s no one…”
Just as Liu Haoyu was about to leave, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
It sounded like something was being dragged inside, and it was very, very heavy…
As if it were a human corpse.
Liu Haoyu hid cautiously and carefully observed the movement of the door.
“Click…”
As the door opened, an old woman with white hair walked out.
In her hands, she was dragging half a pig carcass that had originally been in the refrigerator.
In just one day, this half-pig carcass had rotted as if it had been left for half a month.
The bones, which were already clearly visible, were now completely exposed to the air due to excessive rot.
After dragging the half-pig out andThrowing it into the small mountain of black garbage bags, the old woman began to look around.
Her aged voice echoed in the corridor.
“That’s strange… Someone was just knocking, weren’t they?”
“Where did Ying’er run off to so late at night?”
The old woman muttered, then closed the door again.
