Chapter 52 A Good Method
When Qin Liu spoke, Liu Zining was stunned for a moment.
It seemed the red shadow before her was completely different from what she had imagined.
Could this be another scheme of the fierce ghost?
Liu Zining was a very cautious person. As she pondered, her gaze remained fixed on the red shadow before her.
But suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
There was a legend circulating in Jiangliu City.
Lost souls would be guided by an invisible red shadow to the underworld for reincarnation.
Could it be… she was the guide from the legend of Jiangliu City?
But why would the guide of Jiangliu City come to this place?
As Liu Zining pondered, Qin Liu continued speaking.
“Don’t be afraid, I have no hostility towards you.”
Qin Liu didn’t notice that her tone had become devoid of any fluctuation.
Her gaze was as vacant as that of a dead person.
Looking at Liu Zining before her, Qin Liu continued to speak.
“I came to find you just to resolve your sister’s obsession with you,”
“She wants to see… see if you are doing well,”
“If you have taken good care of yourself,”
“If you have been bullied by others,”
“Or if you are drowning in grief.”
“…”
Listening to the waveless words from the red shadow, Liu Zining silently put down the talisman in her hand.
As a ghost exorcist, she had confirmed that her sister’s soul had been transcended when she buried her.
But the words of the red shadow before her were so sincere and without malice.
Coupled with her identity as a guide.
It seemed she was truly conveying a message for her?
However, Liu Zining didn’t understand one thing.
Liu Zining’s extremely sensitive intuition told her that the red shadow before her wasn’t looking at her as a stranger.
In other words, did the red shadow before her know her?
Thinking of this, Liu Zining directly asked.
“From your appearance… it seems you’ve known me for a long time.”
“…”
Qin Liu did not answer immediately. After a moment of hesitation, she shook her head.
“…No, I don’t.”
The dream was about to end, and the red shadow turned into a phantom, disappearing bit by bit before Liu Zining’s eyes.
The young girl watched the red shadow disappear and remained silent for a long time.
“This feels like a lie.”
—
At this time, Qin Liu had woken up from the red jade.
She rubbed her eyes and let out a sigh of melancholy.
After all, Liu Zining was a sister from a parallel world.
Loving her was like loving Qin Liu herself. Seeing that she was healthy and not being bullied made her happy, of course.
Qin Liu left the red jade and returned to the room.
Liu Haoyu was not asleep. The man was engrossed in reading the black book, his gaze very focused.
And if Qin Liu had any worries…
Perhaps it was worrying that this pervert who liked white stockings would pester her sister for photos of her white stockings?
After all, the last time he saw Liu Zining’s white stocking photos, he was clearly moved.
But… sister relationship or something…
Heh heh…
Liu Haoyu, who was confirming Qin Liu’s status through the black book, suddenly shivered at the chill in her gaze.
He looked back and found no one behind him. (TL: The text implies Qin Liu’s presence is felt, not seen.)
And strangely, the cola next to him had dropped significantly in level…
The bathroom door had also been inexplicably closed.
But there was no wind outside.
Liu Haoyu suddenly felt that the room had become very lively.
He took out a candle.
However, the candle did not light up.
This slightly eased Liu Haoyu’s mind.
He had thought that the unknown fierce ghost from the air-raid shelter had found him.
Seeing it like this now, it must have been his imagination.
Or perhaps… Qin Liu had come out?
But the problem was, he couldn’t see her in the room?
Not even a red shadow could be seen.
He returned his gaze to the black book, but at this moment, an even more bizarre scene appeared.
The bloodstains on the black book were dripping continuously…
It was in fear, it was afraid, it seemed to have seen something terrifying.
A cold wind brushed across Liu Haoyu’s face. Combined with what he had just said to the black book, Liu Haoyu seemed to realize something.
As expected, at this moment, the candle in his hand instantly burst into a faint blue radiance.
The flickering candlelight made Liu Haoyu’s expression extremely stiff.
“Wo Ri…”
He finally understood one thing…
Something that made him really want to curse.
Just as the black book said, the guide might have lost control!
Liu Haoyu couldn’t understand why the situation had deteriorated so quickly.
The early morning sun outside shone into the room, but it couldn’t completely calm Liu Haoyu’s heart.
The bone-chilling fear and his worry for Qin Liu still made him gather his courage and glance at the room’s environment.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn’t see anyone in the room.
The black book also seemed to have fainted from fright. No matter how Liu Haoyu called it, it didn’t respond.
The room was quiet to a frightening degree.
The air was completely frozen.
The clock in the room was still ticking “tick-tock, tick-tock”.
But Liu Haoyu felt that time was moving very slowly.
The feeling of death seeped into his entire body bit by bit, from his limbs to his heart, and then spread to his brain.
The faint blue flame in front of Liu Haoyu reflected his bluish-purple face.
The sunlight outside could not illuminate the darkness in the room. Liu Haoyu felt his soul constantly falling… falling…
Then being crazily torn apart by hands coming from all directions, and crushed…
“Qin Liu?” As his consciousness was about to collapse, Liu Haoyu said with difficulty, “Can you hear me?”
The tearing sensation disappeared.
Liu Haoyu’s body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
He gasped for breath.
The morning sun outside was beautiful, and the sunlight shone on Liu Haoyu.
But the man couldn’t feel the warmth of the sunlight. Instead, the sunlight felt extremely cold.
The candle in his hand still maintained its faint blue flame. The flickering flame seemed to be mocking his overestimation of his abilities.
Liu Haoyu remembered what the black book had told him long ago.
“Once the guide fully awakens, the consequences will be unimaginably severe.”
“Even if you escape by chance due to your dependence, you will still be forever imprisoned in the black coffin.”
“You will wish you were dead…”
Realizing this, Liu Haoyu knew he had to do something.
While he could still act.
If he were truly caught by Qin Liu and dragged into the black coffin, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.
The man scanned the room, seemingly looking for Qin Liu’s trace.
The girl he could usually see directly was now nowhere to be seen.
In the empty room, there was only him.
But he also felt that Qin Liu was everywhere…
At this moment, Liu Haoyu’s brain was working furiously, trying to find a way to break free.
Finally, he thought of a very good method.
The man immediately pulled out a rose from the vase and, kneeling, said sincerely to the air.
“Qin Liu, marry me.”
