Chapter 26 – Fell into a trap!
Perhaps Deng Xiaolin had the ability to sense ghosts, but this was her first time encountering something so terrifying and strange.
Therefore, at that moment, she let out a scream exceeding 100 decibels.
“Ah!!”
Immediately, she didn’t care about anything else and ran towards the exit at the fastest speed in her life.
However, when she gripped the door handle, she discovered that it was tightly entangled by black hair, and no matter how hard Deng Xiaolin tried, she couldn’t turn it.
She was now in tears from fright, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Deng Xiaolin could only grip the peach wood sword in her hand, her teeth chattering, and slowly turned around with great stiffness.
She was afraid, afraid that when she turned her head, she would find the hanged corpse lunging directly at her face.
But fortunately, the corpse was still hanging in place, just its gaze met hers.
Looking at her own corpse, Deng Xiaolin’s hair stood on end, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she mustered her courage and said.
“I… I don’t have much meat! Don’t… don’t eat me.”
The hanged corpse remained unresponsive, only its mouth slowly cracked open, until it split to the jaw, forming a smile that made one’s scalp tingle.
Then it opened its blood-red mouth and rushed forward instantaneously.
At this moment, Deng Xiaolin woke up.
She sat up abruptly from the bed, touching her neck over and over again.
My head wasn’t eaten… thankfully, thankfully…
Still shaken, Deng Xiaolin didn’t have time to breathe a sigh of relief when she felt something on her forehead, tickling her.
It must be hair?
So Deng Xiaolin brushed it. It was better not to brush it. After brushing it, she could clearly feel… this wasn’t her hair at all!
There was something on her head, and she was holding onto its hair.
What should I do, what should I do?
Deng Xiaolin’s small face had completely lost all its color.
Ice-cold liquid fell on her head, sliding down her face.
She wiped it with trembling hands and saw that her hands were covered with a dark red liquid.
Blood…
It was blood.
Under the multiple shocks, Deng Xiaolin was so scared that she fainted.
After she fainted, a red shadow appeared beside the bed.
“Tsk tsk… she shouldn’t have been scared to death, right?”
Qin Liu was still lamenting, “That’s right, this is how a normal person should react when seeing a ghost.”
But when she turned around, the person had fainted.
To avoid causing any serious issues, Qin Liu naturally had to quickly go and check.
“Breathing normal, heart rate normal, it seems she just fainted.”
Qin Liu didn’t want to be so scary, but she encountered someone who was completely unafraid of ghosts.
It made her doubt if her ability to scare people had weakened, so she used a little extra force.
Then she overstimulated her.
But normal people seeing a ghost should have this reaction, why is it different for this man named Liu Haoyu?
Recalling when she went into his dream just now, facing the hanged corpse on the bed, the man’s expression was calm. After sticking three incense sticks on the ground, he said to his own corpse.
“Miss Qin Liu, I think we should discuss how much rent to pay… By the way, I don’t accept ghost money.”
Can a person say such things?
This was originally her own house!
When Qin Liu thought of what Liu Haoyu said, she almost fainted from anger.
But as she thought of this, Qin Liu couldn’t help but feel sorrow rise within her.
Everyone knows there are many weirdos in the world, and she had met the most peculiar one.
She had originally planned to ask Liu Haoyu for help, but after careful consideration, it seemed a bit off.
Undoubtedly, Liu Haoyu brought this girl who could see her, intending to find her.
How does someone who catches ghosts find ghosts? It sounds like they’re up to no good.
As a wandering ghost, he would probably be like the Daoist priests in some TV shows, wanting to transcend her, right?
It’s definitely not to catch Pokémon.
But to leave this place, she needed a living person to take the red jade to Jiangliu City, which was where she lived in her previous life.
This Liu Haoyu who came with ill intentions naturally had to be considered carefully, so her priority target was this girl whom she had scared unconscious.
Her name seemed to be Deng Xiaolin?
Thinking of this, Qin Liu placed her hand on Deng Xiaolin’s head, helping her calm her nightmare, soothing her nerves, and then, in a suggestive tone, said.
“Take Liu Haoyu’s red jade and leave here…”
After Qin Liu’s suggestion, Deng Xiaolin swayed and got up from the bed.
Her eyes were hollow, her gaze vacant, looking as if she were under mental control.
This was also Qin Liu’s skill, but this kind of control could only be used on people in extreme fear.
The mental worlds of these people were extremely easy to invade, so many people controlled by fierce ghosts were likely in a state of fear and despair.
However, although mental control sounded evil, Qin Liu wouldn’t do anything shameful to Deng Xiaolin.
Moreover, as an ordinary lonely ghost, even if she wanted to, she had no physical form.
“Take Liu Haoyu’s red jade and leave here…”
Qin Liu continued to suggest, and Deng Xiaolin began to search Liu Haoyu’s backpack.
After a while, she finally found the darkened red jade.
But before Qin Liu could be happy, she looked closely and realized that the red jade, which she had previously occupied, was now completely occupied by black and had shattered. No matter how Qin Liu tried, she could no longer enter the red jade.
“That’s strange,” Qin Liu said, stroking her chin, “Could it be that this thing is a timed item?”
Since Qin Liu didn’t know the true function of this ghost jade, she only thought it could store souls or something.
So, seeing that this thing was broken, she didn’t feel anything was wrong.
Qin Liu entered another red jade and suggested to Deng Xiaolin again.
“Take it and go to Jiangliu City.”
After this suggestion, Deng Xiaolin began to move like a zombie.
Although it looked a bit strange, this was just mental control and wouldn’t harm her.
When Qin Liu returned to Jiangliu City and saw her younger sister, as long as she confirmed that she was living well, she would have no regrets even if she died…
It sounded as if she were about to be transcended.
Qin Liu muttered, then signaled Deng Xiaolin to open the door.
However, when Deng Xiaolin’s hand touched the door, a powerful repulsive force blew her to the ground, and she also broke free from Qin Liu’s control.
Deng Xiaolin looked around blankly, then like a startled rabbit, she hid behind Liu Haoyu.
Qin Liu looked around and realized that at some point, the room had been covered with talismans.
Wait a moment? I’ve fallen into a trap?!
She turned her head and saw Liu Haoyu, who should have been asleep, standing behind her and saying.
“Good evening, Miss Qin Liu.”
