Chapter 24: Isn’t this person here to transcend me?
Hearing Deng Xiaolin’s words, Liu Haoyu was stunned, but he quickly turned around, protecting Deng Xiaolin behind him while clutching a Zhenlei Talisman in his mobile phone.
However, when he looked back, he found no one behind him.
“Xiaolin, is she still here?”
“She’s gone…”
Deng Xiaolin was a little surprised, and also a little excited.
She was quite obsessed with ghosts and monsters, and Liu Haoyu knew that this little girl had a spiritual sight far beyond that of ordinary people.
This kind of ability to perceive the existence of ghosts and even observe them directly with the naked eye.
Just like just now, Deng Xiaolin clearly saw a ghost following behind him, but he himself was completely unaware.
In other words, when it came to finding ghosts, this little girl did have some talent.
It’s just that as a girl, it’s too dangerous for her to do things like catching and exorcising ghosts.
Just like there are no women in coal mining, there are no women in ghost catching.
Or rather, there should absolutely not be women.
Anyone who has understood this knows what the outcome will be if a woman falls into the hands of ghosts and monsters.
Things like ghost fetuses and ghost infants are not a joke.
A long time ago, there was a female ghost exorcist who, after being attacked by a very ferocious fierce ghost, disappeared without a trace.
When people found her, her eyes were wide open, her abdomen was as if it had been torn open from the inside by something, and her lower body was also broken in an unrecognizable state.
Her death was extremely miserable.
Even more terrifying was that the ghost infant born from her later required three ghost exorcists and the death of two people before the matter was completely put to rest.
Old Deng was the only survivor.
So, naturally, he could not let Deng Xiaolin get involved in such work.
“Hao-ge, Hao-ge!” Deng Xiaolin said excitedly, “That was a ghost just now, right?!”
“…”
Although he didn’t want to admit it, Liu Haoyu could only nod and say.
“Yes.”
If Deng Xiaolin was not mistaken, the red ghostly shadow that had been following behind him was likely the fierce ghost in the haunted house.
That is to say, Qin Liu.
How did she get to this place?
Could it be that her strength had become so great that she could break free from the shackles of the haunted house?
Liu Haoyu touched the red jade in his pocket.
Or… has she been by his side since the beginning?
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu felt a chill in his heart.
He took the red jade out of his pocket.
“Deng Xiaolin, do you see anything like a shadow inside this red jade?”
“Let me see…”
After staring for a long time, Deng Xiaolin rubbed her sore eyes and said.
“No, I can’t see anything.”
Did she run away?
Liu Haoyu touched the red jade in his pocket.
Undoubtedly, Qin Liu had been following him through this red jade.
And perhaps because she had stayed in that haunted house for too long, Liu Haoyu didn’t even realize there was a ghost behind him.
This kind of thing is a really rookie mistake.
But now Qin Liu has hidden herself somewhere and will not come out for the time being.
This fierce ghost’s strength is clearly very strong, but it doesn’t seem to want to be discovered.
With that thought, Liu Haoyu put the Zhenlei Talisman back into his pocket and said to Deng Xiaolin.
“It’s okay, she’s gone.”
“Hao-ge, Hao-ge, I heard from my classmates that someone bought the haunted house outside the city. That person wasn’t you, was it?!”
Tsk, who on earth was the crow’s mouth that told Deng Xiaolin this?
“Hao-ge~” Deng Xiaolin said affectionately like a spoiled younger sister, “Just let me go to your house and have a look, I promise I won’t touch anything of yours!”
“No…”
Liu Haoyu was about to refuse, but when he thought of Deng Xiaolin’s extremely strong spiritual sight, his thoughts changed again.
Perhaps she could help him find that red-clothed fierce ghost, or the location of the basement.
With that in mind, Liu Haoyu spoke.
“Okay, then I’ll take you there, but… you can’t tell Old Deng about this.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” Deng Xiaolin patted her chest and promised, “How could I tell my grandfather? It’s not that I’m looking for trouble.”
— — —
On the other side, after Qin Liu left Liu Haoyu’s side, she did not linger in the house, but escaped into the outside world.
Although the restriction of the red jade was about one kilometer, in fact, this one kilometer covered a considerable area.
Qin Liu was a little curious whether she was still in her original world after her death.
She had been in that house for almost five years, and during these five years, she had never been to the outside world.
It was only through passing pedestrians and the previous owners who had bought the house that she had a vague understanding that this world was still a modern metropolis.
But she didn’t know what it was like.
And now, with the help of a certain perverted red jade, she finally got to see the outside city as she wished.
It was still as prosperous, and the crowds were still as dense.
It’s just that she was no longer human, and she was already out of sync with these people.
Thinking of this, a trace of sadness inexplicably arose in Qin Liu’s heart.
She had no parents when she was alive; she only had a sister who depended on her, and she was adopted.
She didn’t know how her sister was doing after she was hit and killed by a car.
It really made people worry a little…
Just as Qin Liu was lamenting her difficult fate, she looked up, looked at the roadside, and then her eyes widened.
“Jiangquan City…?”
How could this be?!
Qin Liu couldn’t believe it. Wasn’t this place name the city next to where she lived when she was alive?!
Could it be that after her death, she didn’t transmigrate, but occupied the body of this ghost?
Realizing this possibility, Qin Liu hurried into a convenience store.
After searching for a while, she found a map.
As expected… this world was exactly the same as when she was alive!
Thinking of this, Qin Liu’s mood was very excited.
She had always been very worried about her sister, worried if she would encounter any difficulties in her life.
Now, she no longer had to worry.
Sooner or later, she would be able to see her sister.
However, to find her sister, she would definitely need the help of this man.
From her following him, she learned that this man named Liu Haoyu seemed to be a ghost exorcist or something.
And she was a ghost, and he was a ghost exorcist. If they really met, let alone help, he might just slap a talisman on her forehead.
In this regard, it was better to be cautious.
She didn’t want to provoke these seemingly powerful guys.
How about… trying to test him later?
Thinking of this, Qin Liu’s figure gradually disappeared.
She returned to the red jade.
In order to prevent being discovered by that somewhat cheerful girl, Qin Liu carefully poked her small head out of the red jade.
Only then did she realize that she was already sitting on a motorcycle going home.
However, this time, she was not the only one on the motorcycle.
There was also that girl who could see her—Deng Xiaolin.
In her hand, she held a peachwood sword and a pile of messy things that looked like they were for warding off evil.
This wasn’t someone who came to transcend her.
Qin Liu had never seen such a scene before. The courage she had mustered just now instantly disappeared without a trace, and she could only shrink back into the red jade.
