Chapter 27 The Red Door’s Suggestion
On the other side, Liu Haoyu was sitting in the living room of Qiu Leling’s house.
As for the young girl, she was lying on the sofa not far from him, completely defenseless.
Because she had been badly frightened by the ghost, Qiu Leling didn’t dare to stay alone in her room.
However, she felt too embarrassed to let Liu Haoyu into her messy bedroom.
So, there was no other way but to choose to sleep soundly in the living room, with Liu Haoyu keeping watch for her.
It wasn’t that Qiu Leling had no awareness of self-protection at all.
It was just that she was more afraid of ghosts than people at the moment.
Moreover, Liu Haoyu happened to be to her liking.
Even though this man was a bit of a “shrimp head,” his appearance was undeniable, so Qiu Leling couldn’t be bothered to worry too much.
Liu Haoyu sat on the sofa bored. He took out a cigarette case from his pocket and was about to light one when he suddenly remembered that there was someone lying opposite him, so he had to put the cigarette back in the pack.
According to the Black Book, Qin Liu had already boarded that ghost bus and was preparing to get off at the Guiping District bus station.
This naturally made Liu Haoyu a little worried.
And he didn’t know if she had fallen asleep, but the Black Book had no reaction at all.
Liu Haoyu closed the Black Book, feeling restless due to his worries.
The man left the sofa and walked towards the restroom.
The cold water wet the stray hairs on his forehead.
In the mirror, the man had two big dark circles under his eyes and looked very haggard.
After washing his face and freshening up, Liu Haoyu prepared to return to the living room.
But when he turned around, he saw that the restroom door had turned into a strangely bloody red door.
Liu Haoyu was stunned when he saw this door, then immediately reached for the fire axe at his waist, staring intently at the red door in front of him.
What was this red door trying to do?
Liu Haoyu gazed at the red door. The red door didn’t speak, but slowly opened the door.
Behind the door was no longer the original living room, but darkness so dark that one could not see one’s hand even when extending it.
No one knew what was there.
Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and cautiously walked towards the red door.
His hand gripped the door handle, while the other held the fire axe, ready to strike. If he encountered any danger, he could react.
Liu Haoyu didn’t move anything even after he pushed the red door open completely.
As he walked in, the light behind him disappeared with the sound of the door closing.
The entire world was completely swallowed by darkness.
The oppressive darkness made Liu Haoyu unable to breathe, and the voice of the red door sounded at this moment.
“Heh~ You actually dare to come in?”
The source of the voice was unclear; it seemed to be in front, or perhaps behind.
Or perhaps… it was everywhere.
“Why wouldn’t I dare?”
Liu Haoyu heard the playful voice and retorted without any politeness.
“It’s better than hiding and sneaking around like a cockroach.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s mockery, the red door didn’t get angry. She smiled playfully.
“Now that it’s just the two of us, if I want to make a move on you, the guide won’t be able to protect you.”
This was the red door’s domain, and it was almost impossible for Liu Haoyu to defeat the other party here.
The latter knew this, but he maintained an unpretentious demeanor as he said:
“But I’m confident that I can drag you down to hell with me.”
“Tsk tsk…”
The red door clicked its tongue, and then a slender and nimble hand reached out from the darkness and wrapped around Liu Haoyu’s neck.
The young Qin Liu gently blew into Liu Haoyu’s ear.
“Why… not go to heaven together?”
“The guide is sleeping right now,”
“As long as you don’t say it, and I don’t say it, no one will know what happened here,”
“To be honest, this body looks small, but it’s fine for doing those things.”
The red door’s temptation was like a succubus’s whisper. If it were an ordinary man, he might have lost control.
But Liu Haoyu’s mind was unusually calm.
He narrowed his eyes and replied coldly.
“I’m afraid I won’t be able to wake up again after doing it with you, right?”
Liu Haoyu knew the nature of these fierce ghosts very well.
The seemingly tempting proposals were basically fatal traps that could drain a person dry.
Throughout history, how many ghost exorcists had lost their lives due to such temptations.
Liu Haoyu would not repeat the mistakes of his predecessors.
“How could that be?” The red door released her hand and smiled as if nothing had happened. “I just want your power. I’ll definitely leave you with a breath.”
The red door’s words confirmed Liu Haoyu’s guess.
This made him sigh inwardly.
See, guys like Qin Liu who are so silly are truly comparable to pandas among ghosts.
The darkness gradually receded, and the red door walked in front of Liu Haoyu.
At this time, she still looked like the young Qin Liu, and her slender feet were wearing pure white as snow stockings, which was very appetizing.
She floated in mid-air, with a playful smile on her face.
“Actually, we can ally,”
“As long as you are willing to lend me a little bit of my strength to defeat the guide,”
“I will help you send Qin Liu to your bed,”
“And with a buy one get one free offer, it’s not impossible for me to give you this body too.”
“How about it, do you want to consider it?”
The red door floated in mid-air, crossing her legs, looking like a queen.
From Liu Haoyu’s perspective, he could vaguely see the mysterious, unclothed garden beneath the red door.
But because she was wearing white stockings, it wasn’t very clear.
Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and said.
“Your proposal is indeed very tempting, but… I refuse.”
“So stubborn.”
The red door clicked its tongue again.
“Don’t you have any feelings for Qin Liu at all?”
“Of course I do,” Liu Haoyu did not deny it and said directly. “But if the feelings between people are only lust, then what’s the difference between that and beastly desires?”
“I really didn’t expect to hear something like that from your mouth.”
The red door laughed.
“But why bother? Even if she’s in the black coffin, Qin Liu’s body can only last for two years at most. And once she leaves the black coffin, her lifespan will be directly shortened to half a year.”
“In other words, no matter how hard you try, she will eventually become an emotionless, hollow-eyed guide. By then, you won’t even have the ability to resist and will only be stuffed into the black coffin by her to accompany her forever.”
“Now, I’m giving you a choice. As long as you join forces with me, not only will you be able to occupy the guide’s body, but you won’t be forced into the black coffin by her. You’ll even get a buy one get one free offer.”
“In this situation, any fool would choose this, right?”
The red door’s words silenced Liu Haoyu completely.
It wasn’t that he was tempted; his face was rather solemn.
“Qin Liu can only last two years in the black coffin?”
The red door jumped down and stood in front of Liu Haoyu.
“She was put into the black coffin while alive. Even though the black coffin can greatly reduce her metabolism, such a long time will eventually make her weaker and weaker until she dies.”
“As soon as she dies, she will turn into the guide. By then, do you think you can still escape?”
Liu Haoyu’s face looked a bit grim.
He had once dreamed of entering the coffin, and at that time, his body was almost pressed against Qin Liu’s.
Thinking about it carefully, at that time, he could clearly feel her slight breathing.
A living person, even with their metabolism reduced to the extreme, managing to survive for decades without eating or drinking would be a miracle.
No wonder Qin Liu’s body was so weak…
“What would happen if Qin Liu was removed from the black coffin?”
“It’s simple. A body without a soul would die directly within a week. Once Qin Liu returns to her body, then unfortunately, she will never be able to get out.”
The red door’s tone was teasing, but Liu Haoyu wasn’t falling for it.
Unless the red door shoved her white stockings into his mouth.
Liu Haoyu’s gaze fell on the black coffin in the corner, and he then asked.
“Can I open the coffin to take a look now?”
“Of course, as long as you don’t destroy the ritual inside, and don’t move her out.”
With the red door’s permission, Liu Haoyu walked to the front of the black coffin.
He carefully pushed open the heavy coffin lid, and the fresh scent of Phoebe zhennan wood filled the air.
Just as he opened a corner of the coffin, Liu Haoyu clearly saw a young girl in a red wedding dress sleeping quietly inside the black coffin.
