Chapter 19 A locked room disappearance
In fact, Qin Liu was not lying.
She was indeed not Liu Zining’s older sister.
But when she saw Liu Zining, this young girl who looked exactly like her own younger sister, say such sincere words, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
Could it be that Liu Zining’s insight could see something from just this slight hesitation of hers?
Qin Liu felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Just then, Liu Zining also shook her head.
She smiled and said to Qin Liu.
“I’m sorry, I must have seen wrong.”
After dusting off her dress, she continued.
“Speaking of which, where is Brother Liu?”
“He’s at the back, he seemed to have gone to fight a ghost.”
Qin Liu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liu Zining was no longer pursuing the matter.
She had to admit that when Qin Liu first arrived at the rooftop and saw Liu Zining walking towards the railing without a word, she had been startled.
At that time, Liu Zining looked as if she were possessed by something, stiff like a corpse.
And as she walked, she suddenly fell flat on the ground. Fortunately, Qin Liu reacted in time, otherwise, falling face-first like that would have at least broken her nose.
“Is that so?” Liu Zining suddenly became a little worried about Liu Haoyu’s safety. “The strength of the fierce ghosts in this mall is not to be underestimated. Will Brother Liu be alright?”
“He should be alright…”
Qin Liu was also anxious to save people at the time, so she didn’t think of this point.
More importantly, Liu Haoyu always gave her the impression of being very calm and composed.
Apart from being a bit of a pervert, he was basically a very reliable person.
He shouldn’t fail here.
As the two were talking, footsteps could be heard from the stairs behind them.
The two turned their gaze towards the entrance of the rooftop.
They saw a masked murderer in a black trench coat slowly emerge from the darkness.
The fire axe, gleaming with a cold light, still had someone’s blood on it.
Cold blood dripped from the axe blade.
Coupled with his strange and terrifying gas mask, he looked very eerie.
If there were any unknown outsiders present, they would probably be scared to death.
However, both Liu Zining and Qin Liu were already used to this scene.
“It seems I’m not too late.”
Liu Haoyu flicked the blood off his axe and said to the two of them.
“The ghosts in the mall have all been killed by me, three in total, including Li Yunsong and the two people killed by Li Yunsong.”
The man’s casual manner made it seem as easy as killing three chickens.
This also made Liu Zining realize the gap between herself and Liu Haoyu.
She smiled and said.
“As expected of the ghost exorcist who cleared all the ghosts in Beiming City, I still have a lot to learn from you… for example, how about I go buy a fire axe now?”
Liu Zining weighed the wrench in her hand. Compared to Liu Haoyu’s fire axe, this thing was really not powerful enough.
Although the handgun had great deterrent power, the misfire just now almost made her break out in a cold sweat.
Even now, her palms and back were still soaked in sweat.
The cold night wind blew on her thin clothes, and the sweat absorbing the heat made her sneeze involuntarily.
“Achoo…”
The sound of police sirens blared from downstairs. Liu Zining rubbed her little nose and then said to Liu Haoyu.
“Let’s go back first. The Special Task Force will clean this up.”
——
On the way back that night.
Qin Liu walked alongside Liu Haoyu.
In the quiet night, the two chatted back and forth.
Qin Liu looked at the meager balance on Liu Haoyu’s mobile phone.
She couldn’t help but say.
“By the way, what do we do next?”
Liu Haoyu had no money left. Although he was a ghost exorcist, he didn’t have time to work, so he didn’t have much money to begin with.
Naturally, he couldn’t continue to stay in hotels.
And the investigation here was far from over. Although Qin Liu didn’t need to eat,
Liu Haoyu’s expenses for gas, accommodation, and food were still a considerable amount.
“Should we take up some other business? For example, being a feng shui master or something.”
“Perhaps that’s the only way,” Liu Haoyu sighed deeply. “Go and exorcise ghosts and ward off evil for rich people. If you’re lucky, you can get tens of thousands for one job, but if you’re unlucky, maybe only a few hundred…
Well, not many people believe in this stuff anymore. Relying on this to make money is not as practical as delivering takeout.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu spread his hands in helplessness, Qin Liu had no good solution.
She was a ghost, and even if she wanted to work in a factory tightening screws, no one would hire her.
However, fortunately, she thought of a very good idea.
“How about you go and stay with Liu Zining for a few days?”
Qin Liu knew that her home was quite large.
Although there weren’t many rooms, if they cleaned them up, there would definitely be places to sleep.
For example, the living room, or the storage room.
As for Liu Qian’s room… she shouldn’t disturb her.
Hearing Qin Liu’s suggestion, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but laugh.
“That depends on whether the girl is willing. If it were you, would you let a strange man sleep in your house?”
Liu Haoyu’s words made Qin Liu’s gaze gradually turn into a dead fish eye.
Facing Qin Liu’s death stare, Liu Haoyu only then remembered that his words were a bit inappropriate.
After all, it seemed that he had occupied Qin Liu’s bedroom from the beginning…
“Oh~ So you know that too…”
Qin Liu’s meaningful tone made Liu Haoyu’s gaze shift to the side.
What did Qin Liu just say?
The moon is so beautiful tonight.
Qin Liu’s complaints did not stop, but she continued to talk about business.
“As long as you tell Liu Zining about your predicament, she probably won’t refuse.”
Although Liu Zining was not exactly her sister.
But their personalities and appearances were exactly the same, so Qin Liu relied on her memory of her sister to understand Liu Zining.
Hearing Qin Liu’s words, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but cast a strange glance at her.
“I feel like you seem to know Liu Zining very well?”
“Not at all, not at all…”
Qin Liu immediately covered her mouth, pretending to know nothing.
“It’s all my guess.”
As they spoke, they had already arrived at the hotel.
Since Bai Anting was a normal person, Liu Haoyu asked her to stay at the hotel and not go anywhere.
This was to prevent her from wandering around and encountering any accidents.
When they reached the room door, Liu Haoyu gently knocked on it.
“I’m back.”
After waiting for a while, there was no movement from inside the room.
“Is she asleep?”
Qin Liu couldn’t help but mutter at this time.
“I’ll go in and open the door.”
“Okay.”
Since it was already three o’clock in the morning, it was normal for Bai Anting to be asleep.
To avoid disturbing her, Qin Liu passed through the door and entered the room.
However, contrary to her expectations, although the lights were off, the television was on.
The dim cold light illuminated the dark room.
The flickering black and white static on the screen seemed to flash with a few faces from time to time.
Qin Liu was startled by this strange scene.
She twisted the door handle, trying to open the door, but she found that the chain on the door was locked. So she had to unhook the chain and let Liu Haoyu outside into the room.
Liu Haoyu looked at Qin Liu, who was still in shock and covered in sweat, and found it a little strange.
Qin Liu saw that Liu Haoyu was still outside, so she quickly turned on the light and pointed to the TV behind her.
“The TV just now…”
But as soon as she turned around, she found that the TV was not on. The dark screen was like a gateway to hell.
Qin Liu’s words stopped abruptly. Liu Haoyu also sensed the strange atmosphere in the room. He entered the room, but as he looked around, he discovered something even stranger.
He had heard Qin Liu opening the door from outside just now and knew that the room was completely locked from the inside.
But the problem was…
Where was the person inside the room?
