Chapter 48 Legends of Beiming City
Qin Liu had actually come out of Hong Yu.
When she saw her younger sister, the emotions in her heart were indescribable…
All the previous worries and unease vanished as soon as she saw that her sister was safe and sound.
There was more joy… and a slight trace of worry.
But she couldn’t speak, and could only stand in Liu Zining’s blind spot and watch her silently.
She was not her family member anymore.
Even though she knew her, her sister didn’t know her.
Moreover, they were separated by yin and yang. She was a ghost exorcist, and Qin Liu was a ghost.
Therefore, it was better to just watch her silently.
Because Qin Liu was only watching Liu Zining with her peripheral vision, this young girl’s keen intuition did not notice that there was a third person in the room.
She looked at Liu Haoyu and the current situation, then said.
“This room looks like an abandoned warehouse, and it seems to be the only exit… I have a crowbar, can you pry the door open?”
Liu Zining’s backpack also contained quite a few strange things.
But Liu Haoyu just moved his body away from the door and pointed at the door lock that had already been smashed beyond recognition.
“I almost took the lock off without being able to get out.”
“It’s obvious that someone outside seems to have used something to block the door.”
Liu Haoyu tried to see what was going on outside through the door crack, but it was too dark.
Besides, he was wearing a gas mask, so he couldn’t see anything.
“Speaking of which, you’re a ghost exorcist, right?”
Liu Zining patted the dust off herself and introduced herself to the man in front of her, who looked like he had walked out of an American horror movie.
“My name is Liu Zining, and yours?”
“Liu Haoyu.”
“This name…” Liu Zining couldn’t help but complain, “It feels like I’ve heard it in many places.”
The man wearing the gas mask held a candle, trying to figure out who had closed the door.
The flame of the candle was very weak, indicating that there was a ghost nearby…
Then Liu Haoyu saw Qin Liu hiding in the wooden barrel and peeping.
Well, there was indeed a ghost.
A harmless, cute and good ghost.
Liu Zining also came closer. She was not afraid of Liu Haoyu’s fierce appearance.
“It’s really blocked tightly.”
The young girl gently pushed the iron door, but it didn’t move at all.
She found a wooden barrel, sat on it, and asked Liu Haoyu.
“To be honest, I really didn’t expect unexpected help. Judging by your appearance, you don’t seem to be from Jiangquan City?”
The circle of ghost exorcists was very small. Even ghost exorcists in the same city basically knew each other.
They would also work together when they encountered difficulties.
And Liu Zining also knew people from the official ghost exorcism organization, the Special Task Force.
The other party had also extended an invitation to her, but after much hesitation, Liu Zining chose to refuse them.
Her reason was different from Liu Haoyu’s.
Liu Zining simply disliked the feeling of being bound.
But there was one thing she had in common with Liu Haoyu.
She no longer had any ties in this world, and it didn’t matter if she died.
There was nothing to be afraid of.
Instead, the main reason she came knowing that this might be a trap was that she had already given up the courage to live on in the depths of her heart.
“I am indeed not from Jiangquan City.”
Liu Haoyu fiddled with the door as if trying something, and at the same time, he was directing Qin Liu from the dark to open the door from the outside.
But this little ghost seemed a little afraid of being seen by Liu Zining, and her movements were very careful.
Her gestures also indicated for Liu Haoyu to help distract Liu Zining’s attention.
She looked very sneaky.
So Liu Haoyu found a clean place to sit and said to Liu Zining.
“I was originally a ghost exorcist in Beiming City. Later, there wasn’t much work there, so I returned to Jiangliu City, and then moved to Jiangquan City.”
“Beiming City…”
Liu Zining pondered for a moment, then remembered something. She hit her palm and realized with a sudden enlightenment.
“You’re the notorious murderer in the dark from Beiming City?”
“…”
What a ridiculous nickname?
When did he get such a chuunibyou title?
Liu Haoyu’s expression was a little stiff.
Seeing that he didn’t understand, Liu Zining continued.
“Your deeds are spreading like wildfire in the ghost exorcist circle!”
“Something about touching the legs of the female ghost and her family all over.”
“Something about facing a powerful and invincible ghost exorcist, the female ghost could only put on stockings to save her life in hatred.”
“And if you encounter a man wearing a gas mask in the middle of the night, offering him a photo of white stockings will ensure your safety or something…”
“Uh…”
By the end, Liu Zining, who was still excited, seemed to realize something was amiss.
She quickly laughed it off and said.
“Oh my, looking at how serious you are, I guess those are just rumors, right?”
“…”
Liu Haoyu remained silent, only lighting a cigarette.
He swore that if he went back to Beiming City, he would definitely F*ck up those bastards.
What was all this nonsense!?
Liu Zining, who had been smiling, saw that Liu Haoyu remained silent and felt awkward.
Could it be that all of that was true?
“Why are you silent?”
“No, those are all rumors, don’t believe them, I’m a good person.”
Liu Haoyu stood up, but this action caused Liu Zining to hesitate for a moment before she couldn’t help but say.
“Then… how about I also offer a photo of white stockings to ensure my safety?”
“…Please do send it to me.”
Liu Zining’s legs also looked very suitable for white stockings.
White stockings, who wouldn’t love to see them?
Men, what’s wrong with being a bit perverted?
Liu Haoyu, satisfied, took the white stockings photo, but then he was met with death stares from a certain ghost.
Under those piercing gazes, Liu Haoyu could only tearfully hand the photo back.
“Don’t mind it, I was just saying.”
Liu Zining saw Liu Haoyu’s fluctuating expression and was a little confused.
But she didn’t think too much about it and continued.
“Now, if we want to leave, we can only pray that someone will find us here.”
There was no signal on her mobile phone, and the place was remote, so Liu Zining didn’t hold much hope.
“Click…”
At this moment, the warehouse door suddenly opened.
Caught off guard, Liu Zining quickly grabbed the wrench in her hand and stared fixedly at the doorway.
She was afraid that some terrifying monster would suddenly burst in.
The room was silent for a while. Liu Haoyu pretended to go to the door and looked around before saying.
“No one.”
“The candle didn’t react either.”
Hearing this, Liu Zining jumped down from the wooden barrel and walked to the door to check outside carefully.
As Liu Haoyu had said, there was no one there.
But there was a strong aura of resentment in the air, which meant…
A ghost opened the door?
Liu Zining held a thunder-attracting talisman in her hand, her eyebrows full of vigilance.
She whispered to Liu Haoyu.
“Do you know?”
“A murder case happened here a few years ago.”
“Two children entered the air-raid shelter and died inside.”
“But at that time, I always suspected that this might have been an unpublicized murder case.”
“Because, according to my internal information, those two children didn’t enter here out of curiosity at all.”
“Instead, it was a bit like being driven in by something.”
“However, there was no evidence, so the matter was dropped.”
“However… recently, I made a new discovery.”
As she spoke, Liu Zining took out a photo from her pocket.
Liu Haoyu’s gaze sharpened when he saw the photo.
The photo showed two children.
And one of them… was the ghost infant they had encountered in that house before.
But who was the other girl in the photo?
Liu Haoyu stared intently at the smiling face of the girl in the photo, but for some reason, the longer he looked at her, the more uneasy he felt.
It was as if… Liu Zining’s face was overlapping with this girl’s face.
