Chapter 39: What kind of movement is this? (13/95)
In the dream, a terrifying and horrific red shadow came to Zhao Kaiwen’s home.
Because no one lived there, it had become completely deserted.
Looking from afar, it was like a haunted house exuding a strange grudge.
Qin Liu held a lantern in her hand and slowly walked into the house.
Only when she walked in did the originally blank, ice-cold eyes return to their clear appearance.
“Hey?”
“I am…”
“Wait, where is this place?”
Qin Liu, who had regained consciousness, looked at the place that was too familiar to be any more familiar, and was immediately shocked.
“Wo Ri? Isn’t this the previous haunted house?!”
However, for some reason, Qin Liu only felt a little surprised in her heart, but… she wasn’t afraid at all.
On the contrary, there was a strange and inexplicable excitement.
It was this excitement that made her no longer afraid of darkness and the unknown.
“Yeah… I was just sleeping on the bed, how could I suddenly come to this place? I must be dreaming.”
Could it be that because she had saved An Qinglian through a dream before?
So now in her dream, she wasn’t afraid, and even a little excited to explore?
She carried the lantern and walked towards the second floor.
The further she went inside, the more obvious her excitement became.
Even the flame in the lantern had become much stronger.
“Unforgivable… fulfill your mission…”
The voice in her mind sounded again.
Qin Liu was not clear about what the other party meant by “unforgivable”.
Could it be referring to that ghost infant?
However, she had to admit that Qin Liu’s heart was exactly the same as the voice. She really wanted to slap that annoying guy twice.
The second floor was very quiet. Zhao Kaiwen, who originally lived here, had now been locked up in prison.
And the poor female ghost on the third floor had also died tragically at the hands of the ghost infant.
She didn’t know if the old woman on the fourth floor was still there…
While thinking, Qin Liu had arrived at the fourth floor.
Facing the door of the old woman’s house, Qin Liu took a deep breath and then knocked on the door.
However, this knock at the door was a bit strange at this time.
It was like a ghost knocking at midnight, even causing greater panic to the things inside.
This time… there was no reaction.
The strange old woman did not open the door for her. After the sound of knocking gradually faded in the aisle, Qin Liu passed through the door and went directly inside.
With the boost of excitement in her heart, she was exceptionally brave.
And when she entered the room, she suddenly felt something behind her.
Qin Liu looked back, but there was no fear in her heart.
She even felt a little strange, this aura was too familiar to her.
“Hello?”
Qin Liu tried to call out, but there was no movement behind her.
Seeing this, Qin Liu could only push the door open and look outside.
It was an unfathomably deep darkness.
It was like the Eighteenth Level of Hell.
The chilling aura hit Qin Liu’s face, and the young girl shivered.
She returned to the room and decided to explore it thoroughly.
——————
Inside the house, bursts of cold wind blew against the ghost infant’s face.
At this time, it could no longer laugh.
An extremely terrifying existence appeared in the house.
It didn’t know what it was.
It only knew that it definitely couldn’t win against that existence.
Terrified and panicked, it peeked its head out and stole a glance.
It saw a very strange red shadow floating in the air.
In the red shadow’s hand was a lantern emitting a pale yellow light.
Just by looking at this lantern, the ghost infant felt its back go cold, its fingers freeze, and its soul seemed to be drawn away.
What was even more deadly was that this building was now sealed off, and it couldn’t escape even if it wanted to.
“Hehehe…”
A familiar voice sounded in its ear.
The ghost infant knew this voice; it was the voice of the woman from the third floor.
Hadn’t she already been scattered into dust?
Why… why was she still making such a strange noise?
The ghost infant looked around for the source of the sound, but no matter how it looked, it couldn’t find the source of the sound.
It only knew that the sound was very close, very close to it.
So close, it was as if it was clinging to it?
Realizing this, the ghost infant’s eyes, which had no pupils but only whites, widened suddenly.
It rushed to the mirror and looked behind itself.
However, the scene that followed almost made it scream directly.
Qiao Siyi’s pale, bloodless face was poking out from the ghost infant’s shoulder and extended in front of it.
The distance between the two faces was less than 10 centimeters, and the ghost infant’s hair stood on end in terror.
If it were a normal person facing this situation, they would have gone mad or even fainted.
But it was a ghost infant, a ghostly existence itself.
So, after letting out a miserable and terrified scream, the ghost infant reached out its hands and scratched its shoulders, neck, and cheeks incessantly.
Its sharp nails tore its skin, leaving it bloody and mangled.
However, Qiao Siyi, who was clinging to it, did not suffer any harm.
And she even extended a pale purple hand and tightly choked the ghost infant’s neck.
Even though it was already dead, the ghost infant despairingly realized… it felt like it was having difficulty breathing?!
Why?!
The ghost infant’s limited mind could not understand the reason. It only knew that if it didn’t do something, it would definitely “die”!
It fell to the ground in pain and struggled desperately. This commotion naturally attracted the attention of the red shadow.
At this time, the red shadow had already started to walk towards here.
This made the ghost infant even more anxious.
It rolled on the spot, trying to shake off Qiao Siyi.
And as it rolled, Qiao Siyi let out a chilling and eerie cry.
This was somewhat similar to the cry when she was killed, but even though she was crying, the ghost infant felt like she was laughing?
Finally, with perseverance, the ghost infant managed to shake off “Qiao Siyi” from its body just as the red shadow was about to open the door.
Freed from this terrifying existence, it was overjoyed and, like a big black rat, darted out through the door crack, bypassing the red shadow.
Its destination was the door of the room.
For some reason, although other places were sealed off, and it couldn’t even pass through walls, the door of the room was open.
Although the ghost infant couldn’t understand, it knew that as long as it reached the door of the room, as long as it reached that place…
Running all the way, the ghost infant reached the door, but only when it got closer did it realize that the door in front of it was not right.
It was a rusted iron door stained with blood, not the original door at all!
By this time, it was too late for the ghost infant to escape. Before it could react, countless hands stretched out from the red door, firmly grasped it, and with a desperate scream, it was pulled into the red door.
On the other side, Qin Liu, who was looking for the “big black rat,” scratched her head and muttered.
“What kind of movement is this?”
