Chapter 14 Let’s split up (25/95)
Tengda Mall is very large, it looked large from the outside.
But after coming inside, I realized it was much larger than Liu Haoyu had imagined.
The first floor was empty, the second floor was empty…
The further we went up, the stranger the atmosphere in the mall became, and when Liu Haoyu reached the third floor, the mist outside seemed to have seeped into the building.
And the mist had changed from a faint white to a thick black.
In the black mist, there were occasional cries of pain and misery, which made one’s heart tremble.
The situation here seemed even more complicated than Liu Haoyu had thought.
Moreover, Liu Haoyu couldn’t understand why a ghoul killed by a ghost bus would have such terrifying strength.
Just then, something cold pressed against Liu Haoyu’s back.
He subconsciously raised his hand.
And through the touch, he quickly realized it was a police handgun.
Could it be the police?
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu immediately explained.
“Officer, to tell you the truth, I’m a good person. As soon as I entered the mall, I encountered a murderer. Fortunately, I had a weapon in my hand, and after fighting with all my might, I defeated him. Now I am pursuing him.”
“As a five-star good citizen of Jiangliu City, I will naturally bring any evil to justice.”
“So I am a good person.”
Hearing his voice, the person with the gun behind him was silent for a moment, and then asked a series of questions.
A very absurd emotion arose in the person behind him.
Finally, the person behind him let out a helpless sigh.
“Brother Liu, what a coincidence, are you here to catch ghosts too?”
Hearing this voice, Liu Haoyu realized that the person behind him was not a police officer, but the ghost exorcist girl, Liu Zining.
Turning around, he saw the girl putting the handgun back into her small shoulder bag.
“Liu Zining…”
Before Liu Haoyu could finish speaking, Liu Zining blinked.
“What did you call me?”
“…Ningning.”
“That’s right,” the girl nodded with satisfaction: “We are all friends, so calling each other by name is a bit distant.”
To this, Liu Haoyu retorted.
“But calling me that is a bit too intimate.”
“What’s wrong?” Liu Zining blinked: “I don’t have any objections, are you, a big guy, going to be shy?”
“Shy is not to the point.”
Liu Haoyu shrugged, then looked forward again.
“Are you here to investigate the ghost bus incident too?”
“You mean bus 514?” Liu Zining asked doubtfully: “What does that supernatural event have to do with this place?”
It seemed that the Special Task Force’s intel hadn’t caught up yet regarding Lingmeng’s incident.
However, after all, it was a ghost that could erase its presence, so it was normal for the Special Task Force to not know.
As Liu Haoyu was thinking, Liu Zining explained her reason for coming.
“I’m here at the request of Special Task Force Team C to investigate this place, but after coming in, I found that the building was filled with strong resentment and mist, and then Team C members got separated from me. Now I’m looking for them.”
Liu Haoyu was stunned after hearing this. He hadn’t expected that besides himself and Liu Zining, there were other people in the mall.
But the problem was, after searching for so long on the first and second floors, he hadn’t found the Team C that Liu Zining mentioned.
Could it be that they had already met with misfortune?
As Liu Haoyu was thinking, Liu Zining looked at the interior of Tengda Mall.
Such a large mall, searching together would be safer, but not very efficient.
So, Liu Zining took the initiative to suggest.
“Brother Liu, let’s search separately. Team C should be on this floor. If you find them, come down to this place to meet. Even if you don’t find them, we have to meet again at 2 AM.”
“…Splitting up is very dangerous.”
Liu Haoyu didn’t want Liu Zining to act alone, but the girl smiled.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, my strength is not bad, and I’ve always completed missions alone before, so don’t worry, I’m leaving now.”
Before Liu Haoyu could speak, the girl turned and left, quickly disappearing into the vast black mist.
This scene was clearly seen by Qin Liu, who was inside Hong Yu.
Although Liu Zining in this world was not her sister, she was still concerned and worried about her.
Will she be alright?
Qin Liu looked at the strange environment around her and felt a bit scared.
She hesitated for only a few seconds, then said to Liu Haoyu.
“How about… I help you look for them too?”
When Liu Haoyu heard Qin Liu’s request, his first reaction was to refuse.
Because Qin Liu’s condition was very unstable, even if she didn’t use her guiding abilities, in such a oppressive place, her guiding mission would unconsciously find her, just like the situation in the Chinese Medicine Hospital before.
But for some reason, looking at Qin Liu’s pleading and slightly scared eyes, Liu Haoyu’s heart softened.
He sighed.
“Be careful, don’t be too scared, and run if you encounter any danger.”
“Mhm mhm!”
The two people and one ghost were divided into three groups to search.
While this was efficient, it was also extremely easy to be picked off one by one.
Liu Haoyu knew this, so before Qin Liu left, he left a tracking talisman on her.
This talisman was stained with Li Yunsong’s blood. If Qin Liu encountered him, it would give him a hint, and then he would rush over.
On the other hand, due to the large size of the mall and the surrounding black mist, although Qin Liu tried her best to catch up with Liu Zining, her body was too weak, and she was out of breath after running only a few steps.
Unable to help it, she could only float up and continue flying forward.
But the strange atmosphere and black mist around made Qin Liu dare not go too fast. She carefully passed through one wall after another.
As she passed through a wall, a heavy breathing sound suddenly sounded from her side.
The sound was like someone who was seriously injured and gasping for breath, which startled Qin Liu.
She immediately shone her lantern towards the source of the sound.
It was a police officer in uniform, his face was pale, his lips were purplish, and he looked very seriously injured. The hand covering his abdomen was already stained with blood, and blood was still flowing out.
When Qin Liu’s lantern shone on him, the police officer also noticed the red shadow in front of him.
The moment he saw this red shadow, it was like walking into a morgue on a hot summer day, chilling him to the bone. The police officer subconsciously raised his handgun, but when he picked up the gun, he realized that the gun had already been damaged by the fierce ghosts in the mall.
He wanted to stand up, but his broken right leg could not support his body, so he had to give up thinking, looking at the red shadow in front of him, his eyes were a bit numb.
“Ghost…”
As he lost blood, the police officer found that the blurred red shadow in front of him was becoming clearer and clearer.
When he saw the red shadow clearly, he realized it was a very delicate, cute, and beautiful girl who looked unlike a human, approaching him with a few torn cloths.
“I’m a good ghost… Just a moment, I’ll stop your bleeding.”
Although the police officer understood that in the line of ghost exorcism, the more beautiful the ghost, the more dangerous it was.
But he was already on the verge of death, and due to excessive blood loss, he couldn’t resist anything. He could only stare as the girl skillfully bandaged him.
She didn’t attack him, nor did she show any hostility, just like a compassionate angel, focusing on treating the deep wound.
The fear in the police officer’s mind began to subside with the girl’s kind actions.
After her abdominal wound was bandaged, the girl showed a relaxed smile.
“There, done.”
Facing the girl’s cute and innocent small face, the police officer finally let go of all his hostility.
It was evident that she was indeed a harmless good ghost.
