Chapter Seventy-Five: Eating Dumplings (20/95)
Liu Haoyu looked at the charred corpse kneeling and begging for mercy at his feet, falling into a strange silence for a moment.
He glanced at the extremely eerie and grim hospital, and the trembling ghost infant on the ground.
Finally, he had no choice but to put on a “old man on the subway looking at his phone” expression.
Who did you provoke, out of everyone else?
You just had to provoke the one person you absolutely shouldn’t.
Now, your soul is almost scared out of you.
“Master! Quickly put me into the ghost jade!”
“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
“That thing is still behind me! It’s coming! It’s coming!”
“…”
Liu Haoyu listened and, with a blank expression, smashed the red jade into the ghost infant’s face.
Very quickly, this guy was sucked into the red jade.
Although it was called a corpse, it was still a ghost, and as long as it was a ghost, the ghost jade could absorb it.
But the problem now was…
How to resolve the situation in front of him?
Liu Haoyu had a headache.
At this moment, the black book couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which gathered on the ground into a sentence.
“How about… you hand me over to Liu Zi Ning first?”
“That way, I won’t have to share a coffin with you.”
Liu Haoyu completely ignored what the black book said.
“Buddy, see Qin Liu’s white stockings? We’re all brothers, sharing blessings and hardships together.”
“I don’t want that kind of blessing!”
The black book let out a sharp and terrified scream.
Unfortunately, Liu Haoyu couldn’t be bothered by its objection and entered the hospital.
As soon as he stepped in, the hospital’s main door was inexplicably closed.
As if there was something outside.
Liu Haoyu looked back.
The transparent glass door now had several bloodstains shaped like human faces printed on it.
The mouths of the human face bloodstains were shaped like half-moons, as if they were smiling.
But their smiles were extremely chilling.
He didn’t know who these people were, nor what they were doing here. n
Liu Haoyu only knew that he had to find Qin Liu first.
“Did she lose control?”
“Don’t know! Don’t ask me!”
The black book, being held by Liu Haoyu, had completely shut down.
It was terrified of this completely unknowable future.
And since entering this dark hospital, it couldn’t even see the outside world clearly anymore.
This place felt like hell.
It was completely disconnected from the human world.
“Tsk… So where is Qin Liu?”
Liu Haoyu spoke casually, but his face showed no relaxation.
Since he didn’t know Qin Liu’s current state, Liu Haoyu could only be extremely cautious.
“Hey, can you hear me?”
The only one who might be able to see Qin Liu was the ghost infant inside the red jade.
In response to Liu Haoyu’s question, the ghost infant inside the red jade hugged its legs, trembling, and nodded repeatedly.
It didn’t understand why this man brought it back in.
It suddenly wanted to find a coffin to bury itself in, to have a peaceful repose.
Instead of dying with unresolved grievances.
“Have you seen Qin Liu… that is, the young girl you brought in?”
“Didn’t see her, didn’t see her!” The ghost infant let out a terrified cry: “I ran and crawled all the way to escape, I didn’t see what was chasing me at all!”
“Tsk… alright.”
Seeing the ghost infant’s terrified reaction, Liu Haoyu knew that it was almost impossible to get any clues from it.
But this hospital was too strange.
Under the influence of the guide, it seemed like a large number of terrifying things had come into the hospital.
And this hospital was very large, and if he searched like this, he didn’t know how long it would take to find Qin Liu.
He needed to confirm her state as soon as possible, time is money, time is a lifeline.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu suddenly thought of a good idea.
Undoubtedly, the guide came for the ghost infant.
It had also said that it was constantly being chased by something.
And that something was likely Qin Liu.
So… Liu Haoyu’s gaze fell on the red jade in his hand.
The ghost infant inside shivered inexplicably.
It had a vague premonition of something bad.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu spoke.
“She’s after you, why don’t you sacrifice yourself?”
“No, no, no!!”
Liu Haoyu was not asking the ghost infant for its opinion, but merely informing it to be mentally prepared.
The man flicked the red jade in his hand, and the ghost infant, which was trapped inside, was released.
In this instant, it seemed like all the gazes in the entire hospital were focused on it.
The surroundings became quiet, and the air became cold.
In the darkness, something terrifying was rushing towards them…
“Ahhhhh!”
The ghost infant screamed and shrieked, wanting to return to the red jade.
But it wasn’t Qin Liu, and even if it squeezed its head off, it couldn’t get in.
It could only watch as the coldness in the air got closer and closer to it…
The darkness around, as if Zhang Zhang’s faces appeared.
They were smiling at it.
It was unclear whether those were smiles or naked killing intent.
From the darkness, a withered hand stretched out.
In this hand, a tablespoon was held, containing a very full dumpling stuffed with meat.
“Come… eat dumplings.”
“Ahhhhhh!!”
The ghost infant let out a sharp and piercing scream. In its panic, it slapped the hand away.
It could no longer run. The coldness and fear made it unable to control its legs, so it could only retreat backwards with its hands.
It retreated to a corner, but the corner was filled with darkness.
It couldn’t give it any sense of security.
In the darkness, the hand that it had slapped away not only didn’t retract but stretched out again.
“You really don’t want to eat?”
“These are your favorite dumplings…”
“Eat them? Why aren’t you eating?”
The voice in the darkness became increasingly ferocious and strange, finally seeming to descend into madness.
“If you don’t eat… you won’t live either!”
Then, hand after hand stretched out from the darkness, grabbed the ghost infant’s body tightly, and then the old man’s hand, with extreme roughness, pried open the ghost infant’s mouth and poured countless dumplings into its mouth.
It wanted to vomit, it wanted to cough, but the old man’s hand did not stop.
Almost a full basin of dumplings was poured into the ghost infant’s stomach.
It was stuffed like a huge balloon, twitched on the ground for a while, and then completely lost all reaction.
In the darkness, slow footsteps began to sound, and the hands that stretched out from the darkness disappeared along with them.
Liu Haoyu watched in the direction of the sound.
Soon, a young girl with a blank expression and hollow eyes appeared before him.
The girl held the lantern in her hand high up, and all the ghosts wandering in the darkness were sucked into it.
After doing all this, she put down the lantern and her gaze fell on Liu Haoyu.
The girl tilted her head, looked at Liu Haoyu blankly, and asked in a voice devoid of emotion.
“…Do you want to eat dumplings?”
Liu Haoyu was also looking at the girl in front of him.
“No, I want to eat ice cream.”
