Chapter 40: My Sister is a Ghost Exorcist?
“Grandma… are you there?”
Qin Liu’s voice echoed in the room.
Although her voice was very cute, in this extremely quiet room, it gave off a very eerie feeling.
Logically speaking, the old woman was a ghost, so she shouldn’t have gone anywhere.
And that big black rat from before…
Qin Liu couldn’t find it no matter how hard she looked.
“Could that figure just now be a ghost infant?”
Qin Liu couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
But because it was too dark here, she couldn’t see clearly, so she didn’t dare to rashly confirm her thoughts.
“The refrigerator is also empty.”
The refrigerator, which was originally packed full, was now completely empty. But because it hadn’t been turned on for a long time, a strange smell still lingered inside.
Qin Liu closed the refrigerator door, then glanced into the kitchen. After confirming that no one was there, she could only return empty-handed.
“There’s nothing…”
The girl felt a little regretful. She thought she could get some useful information, as she had before.
As a result, she came here and found nothing. She didn’t see any people, nor any ghostly shadows.
“Let’s go back.”
Qin Liu sighed, then walked towards the door.
However, when she reached the door, she was stunned.
What appeared before her was not the door she had seen before.
Instead, it was the blood-stained red door called the Gate of the Yellow Springs.
It stood firmly in front of her.
The red door exuded a strange and chilling aura. A normal person seeing this would probably choose to stay away.
Even the usual Qin Liu would probably do the same.
But Qin Liu today was different. She felt exceptionally brave.
So she made a very bold move.
She placed her hand on the red door, pushed it open with a slight force, and walked in.
She even closed the door behind her.
The world behind the door was a darkness deeper than darkness.
A gaze fell upon Qin Liu.
Qin Liu then picked up the lantern in her hand.
Even such deep darkness could not resist the faint light emitted by the lantern.
The red door reappeared before her and gradually transformed into her appearance.
To be precise, it was Qin Liu’s childhood appearance.
But her face had an expression of disdain and annoyance.
It was like a disappointed worker being suddenly pulled out of sleep by their boss to do work in the middle of the night.
“Why can’t that man even handle a ghost infant?”
“…”
Qin Liu was speechless for a moment.
But soon, she thought of something.
“Then, with your strength, how were you defeated by him?”
Qin Liu’s gaze slowly fell on the red door’s calf.
In her memory, the red door had always been bare-legged. Why was it wearing white stockings today?
Hearing Qin Liu’s words, the red door immediately became furious.
“What else could I do, the other side sent an entire division to fight me! I wanted to run, but could I?”
The red door’s way of speaking was like saying, “Whoever wants this job can have it.”
“But didn’t you end up being defeated by Liu Haoyu? And he even put a layer of white stockings on you.”
As Qin Liu said this, the red door’s eyes narrowed.
If it weren’t for the biggest insider in front of her, she would have dragged Liu Haoyu into the door and rubbed him against it. How could she have been counter-killed by him?
“Why are you looking at me?”
Qin Liu, holding the lantern, said puzzledly.
“Is there something on my face?”
“No…” The red door turned back into its original form, shrugged, and said, “Have you heard a saying?”
“What saying?”
“Your servants are ready to fight to the death, why have you surrendered, Your Majesty?”
The red door’s words carried a hint of mockery, but Qin Liu didn’t understand what it meant.
She just tilted her head, looked at the red door, and let out a very silly and dazed sound.
“Huh?”
“Forget it…”
Qin Liu in front of her knew nothing. But who knew if she really didn’t know or was pretending not to know, the red door shrugged again.
Well, since she liked to remain this way in her heart, then so be it.
Anyway, she was better off like this than that dark-hearted bossy guide.
A scumbag who still made her work in the middle of the night.
“A reminder, someone has entered the house, a very strong ghost exorcist.”
After the red door finished speaking, its figure gradually began to disappear, and the light in front of Qin Liu gradually returned.
The bright moonlight shone on Qin Liu’s face through the window.
Under the moonlight, the girl looked somewhat holy.
“Tap… tap… tap…”
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.
The footsteps were very light. If it weren’t for the extreme quietness here, and Qin Liu’s sensitive hearing, she might not have heard them at all.
Moreover, the lightness of the footsteps made Qin Liu conclude that this person’s weight was very light, possibly even less than 100 pounds.
A girl?
Qin Liu quickly hid.
Since the red door said the other party was a strong ghost exorcist.
It was better to hide honestly, to avoid any misunderstandings.
Qin Liu quickly went upstairs and hid in a random room.
However, after entering the room, she realized that the room she had entered…
Seemed to be the room that was previously covered with yellow talismans?
She hadn’t gone in to take a look last time because she had left in a hurry.
She looked at the furnishings inside the room.
The furniture in this room was very old, and the entire room was covered with talismans.
On the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling, it was no exaggeration to say that the entire house was as if it were sealed with talismans.
But Liu Haoyu had also said before that these talismans were ordinary paper and could not serve the purpose of exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil.
“…”
Being in a room full of talismans made Qin Liu feel very uncomfortable.
It reminded her of some unpleasant things.
In her memory, she seemed to have stayed in such an environment for a very, very long time.
But she couldn’t remember it no matter what.
“Could it be the memory of the original Qin Liu again…”
Qin Liu scratched her head. This was the only possibility she could think of.
“And even if these talismans are just ordinary paper, they look too weird. The haunted house I lived in before wasn’t this eerie…”
Qin Liu, standing at the doorway, took a deep breath and clenched the lantern tightly…
Then, without another word, she prepared to leave.
Nonsense, her courage was almost gone. She couldn’t stay in a place that reminded her of her past memories!
After all, just one sentence from An Qinglian turned her into a guide.
What if she stayed here too long and couldn’t go back?
“Tap… tap… tap…”
Just as Qin Liu was about to retreat, the familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.
Qin Liu’s expression stiffened.
Had the ghost exorcist come up here so quickly?
What should she do?
Because Liu Haoyu had said that other ghost exorcists might not be as approachable as him.
So Qin Liu wasn’t very keen on dealing with ghost exorcists.
“Creak…”
While Qin Liu was thinking, the door to the room was pushed open.
The petite figure entered the room.
In her haste, Qin Liu hid in the closet. Just as she was about to phase through the wall to leave, she heard a voice she never would have expected.
She hadn’t heard this voice in a long time, but even after such a long time, her impression of it remained so clear.
“Strange… the source of the grudges is clearly here, but where is the ghost?”
Through the gap in the closet, Qin Liu saw a girl wearing blue and white clothes, with a butterfly hairpin on her head, holding a black umbrella.
“Liu Zining…?”
Her sister, why was she here?
