Chapter 26: Let’s Go Live at the Martyrs’ Cemetery
The Kentucky on the pedestrian street was very crowded.
After ordering, Liu Haoyu went to a corner to wait.
The pedestrian street was very close to Jiangquan City University, so there were many young and beautiful female college students here.
Liu Haoyu sat in the corner, not interested in these female college students.
Qin Liu also sat beside him. Because there were too many people, the waiting time would be very long. She was a little impatient, glancing at the order number on the screen from time to time.
“Don’t rush.”
Because there were many people, when Liu Haoyu spoke, the student sitting opposite him couldn’t help but look over curiously.
She found that Liu Haoyu didn’t seem to be talking to her.
So she lowered her head and continued to browse her phone.
“Beep beep beep…”
Liu Haoyu’s phone rang. It was a message from Qin Liu.
“Let’s communicate by phone. It feels strange to be overheard by others.”
“Typing on the phone is quite troublesome.”
Liu Haoyu didn’t care much about others’ gazes. Besides, sending messages by voice was also very common. As long as you brought your phone closer, no one would think of strange things.
But Qin Liu didn’t seem to like this feeling.
There were a bit too many people around. She sat in her seat, silent, just staring at the screen on the counter, waiting for her food.
Liu Haoyu turned his face and naturally noticed Qin Liu’s expression at that moment.
It could be seen that Qin Liu did not seem to like crowded places.
Perhaps it was because she was just a ghost now?
Or was she always like this?
But no matter what, it was better to pack it and eat it later.
“Master?”
As Liu Haoyu was thinking, a familiar voice sounded.
Liu Haoyu turned his head and saw the young and beautiful female college student An Qinglian looking at him at the doorway.
This girl, wearing black stockings and high heels, ran over and said gratefully.
“I really don’t know how to thank you!”
Behind An Qinglian, there was also a woman with tanned skin. She was very tall and looked like a sports student who exercised frequently.
“Master…?”
This tanned college student looked at Liu Haoyu suspiciously and said to An Qinglian.
“Qianqian, no matter how much you want to find a boyfriend, you shouldn’t use such pick-up lines.”
An Qinglian, who was rushing over, almost stumbled and fell to the ground when she heard this.
She blushed and retorted.
“This is not a pick-up line! He is truly a master with some ability.”
“Cough cough…” Liu Haoyu coughed and said leisurely: “Little friend, I am not a master.”
An Qinglian, who was too excited, finally remembered Liu Haoyu’s words.
The secrets of heaven must not be revealed…
Remembering this, she quickly covered her mouth.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
An Qinglian nodded quickly, but when she got closer, she realized… why was there a girl in a red wedding dress sitting next to this master?
Looking at the girl in the red wedding dress in front of her, An Qinglian felt a strange chill. It was as if she had seen this girl in the red wedding dress when she entered, but she was too excited to see the master at that time, and she had ignored this girl.
Only when she got closer did she realize her existence.
At this moment, the girl in the red wedding dress was looking at An Qinglian, seemingly puzzled as to why she had stopped talking.
Although the girl in the wedding dress in front of her was cute, to be honest, An Qinglian had never seen anyone wearing a red wedding dress except at weddings or in games, let alone seeing this thing in broad daylight.
The unspeakable strangeness made An Qinglian speechless.
Liu Haoyu looked at the speechless An Qinglian and asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“This…”
An Qinglian felt her throat was unusually dry. She swallowed, her gaze continuing to meet his.
Although she could see the girl in the red wedding dress in front of her, the people around her seemed to ignore her, as if they hadn’t noticed her existence at all.
Could it be…
This girl in the red wedding dress is a ghost?
Thinking of this, An Qinglian asked Liu Haoyu with difficulty.
“Master… who is the girl next to you?”
“The girl next to me?”
An Qinglian’s voice was not loud, but Qin Liu, who was sitting on the stool, heard it clearly.
Liu Haoyu shifted his gaze to the position beside him, observed carefully, and then said.
“Who is next to me?”
“Ah… clearly…”
An Qinglian wanted to say more, but when she looked at the position next to Liu Haoyu again, the girl in the red wedding dress had already disappeared.
As if it was just An Qinglian’s illusion.
This disbelieving college student in black stockings rubbed her eyes, confirmed it a few times, and then withdrew her words with suspicion.
“Qianqian, do you know this handsome guy?”
“I know him, sort of… I just don’t know his name, but he saved my life.”
Recalling what happened last night, An Qinglian was really fortunate.
Fortunate to have met this man in front of her.
If it weren’t for the jade gourd he gave her, she would probably have died in the rental house now.
But Yu Xiaolu was obviously unaware of this. She said with some surprise.
“Saved your life?”
“Yes.”
An Qinglian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
“Can you tell me about it?”
Yu Xiaolu was a little curious. Every girl had a dream of being saved by a hero.
And Liu Haoyu’s looks were also good, so as An Qinglian’s best friend, Yu Xiaolu naturally hoped that her good friend could find a handsome boyfriend.
“Sorry… it’s not convenient to elaborate.”
Because the master had said that anything encountered must be kept secret, she could only follow the “secrets of heaven must not be revealed” rule.
Seeing that An Qinglian didn’t want to talk, Yu Xiaolu didn’t continue to question her.
Instead, she waved to An Qinglian and said with a smile.
“I’ll go order for you. You sit and wait first.”
With that said, Yu Xiaolu left.
Liu Haoyu and An Qinglian were left facing each other in silence.
After a stalemate for a while, Liu Haoyu said.
“Sit down. Standing here is not an option.”
“Thank you.”
An Qinglian sat on the chair beside him.
“Can you tell me about the horror story you watched last night?”
“Horror story…?”
An Qinglian was stunned for a moment, then slapped her palm, and said with enlightenment.
“Yes, yes! I should indeed tell you a horror story.”
Seeing her so cooperative, Liu Haoyu nodded with satisfaction.
“Master, it’s like this…”
Last night, An Qinglian, holding the jade gourd given by Liu Haoyu, returned to her rental house uneasily.
She was very scared, afraid of encountering that terrifying fierce ghost again.
Without even daring to wash, she lay down on the bed.
After getting into bed, her flustered mood gradually calmed down.
In a hazy sleep, she dreamed of that terrifying and strange girl again.
Just a glance at the other party, and the fierce ghost pounced forward.
But the jade gourd in her hand emitted a cyan light, and at the critical moment, she was knocked away by the shock wave emitted by the jade gourd.
With a scream, the dream turned entirely dark.
After the nightmare disappeared, An Qinglian was able to sleep until dawn.
When the sun rose the next day, she looked at the small footprints in her room and felt a lingering fear, as well as great relief.
If she hadn’t met the master, she would have probably died.
An Qinglian told Liu Haoyu everything that had happened.
“That’s about what happened. Master, thank you so much for the jade gourd you gave me. I can’t repay your life-saving grace!”
Seeing that An Qinglian was about to bow to him, Liu Haoyu quickly reached out and stopped her.
“It’s just a small matter, nothing to mention,” Liu Haoyu said like a charlatan; “What is the current condition of the jade gourd?”
“This…”
An Qinglian spread her palm a little embarrassedly.
On her palm, the jade gourd had already shattered, and the fragments were all blackened by resentment.
“Sorry, Master, this jade gourd broke after I woke up.”
“Hmm…”
Liu Haoyu carefully examined the fragments in An Qinglian’s hand.
“This danger is not simple.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s solemn expression, An Qinglian’s small face turned pale with fright.
“Master, could it be that the fierce ghost didn’t die and will come back to find me?”
Facing An Qinglian’s question, Liu Haoyu did not speak but looked at her face.
The girl’s complexion was still dark purple, which meant she had not yet escaped danger.
But was it the ghost infant that found her, or was it the suspect in the dismemberment case, Zhao Kaiwen, who noticed her?
Liu Haoyu was not sure. Now, he could only make preventive measures for An Qinglian.
So he took out a few more jade gourds from his pocket.
“Little friend, here are a few jade gourds for you. It’s very few, but it can save your life.”
An Qinglian looked at the few jade gourds in her hand. To be precise, there were only five.
It was really very few. What if all five were used up?
This girl was a little uneasy.
“Master… What should I do if I use up these jade gourds?”
“Little friend, don’t panic. If you are scared, move your bed directly to the Martyrs’ Cemetery. Ordinary ghosts and monsters dare not go there. The heroic spirits of the country can protect you.”
“Also, remember one thing, when girls go out, carry pepper spray and a stun gun.”
