Chapter 33: Serves Him Right
Black Book’s words made Liu Haoyu fall silent.
Comparing the information from the Red Gate and the Black Book, the Red Gate had not lied to him.
“Speaking of which, the place you went with Qin Liu, wasn’t it Shenjing Village?”
“Yes, we encountered that red coffin there. However, since there was no professional ghost exorcist present, we didn’t dare to approach it rashly. Qin Liu’s condition was unstable, so it was impossible to let her take that risk.”
“That makes sense…”
Liu Haoyu nodded.
Black Book’s actions at the time were the most prudent choice.
If Qin Liu lost control… the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking about the dream just now, tsk…
Although the Red Gate helped, why did it still feel like such a loss?
Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but sigh.
Seeing Liu Haoyu like this, Black Book couldn’t help but complain.
“Alright, why are you feeling sentimental, you brat?”
Blood characters appeared on the Black Book.
“Was it just a pair of stockings that did you in?”
“You don’t understand the charm of white stockings. White stockings are the purest things in the world, and very few girls can pull them off. So, you should understand why I lost my mind, right?”
“I understand a damn thing.”
The blood on the blank page began to boil and drew a sweating emoji.
This Black Book’s aggressiveness was increasing.
“Speaking of which… why did you take Qin Liu’s shoes to the restroom just now?”
“Nothing much, just for some spell casting…”
Before Liu Haoyu could answer clearly, there was a “knock-knock-knock” sound at the room door.
It sounded like someone was outside.
“Please come in.”
After receiving Liu Haoyu’s permission, Qin Liu cautiously entered the bedroom.
Because she had run in such a hurry earlier, she had forgotten to put on her shoes.
Although as a ghost, wearing white stockings wouldn’t get dusty.
However, not wearing shoes always gave her a sense of insecurity, as if she were being watched by someone.
Moreover, Liu Zining had also said that it was strange to come out wearing white stockings, so Qin Liu returned to the bedroom to put on her embroidered shoes.
However, upon entering, she found that her shoes that she had left here were gone…
“Where are my shoes?”
Faced with Qin Liu’s questioning, Liu Haoyu immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
“Uh… in the restroom.”
“Restroom?”
Qin Liu looked at Liu Haoyu with some suspicion and couldn’t help but ask.
“You didn’t do anything to my shoes, did you?”
“Of course not, I’m a good person.”
Liu Haoyu confidently patted his chest.
He indeed hadn’t thrown any dirty things on Qin Liu’s shoes.
“I just saw that the weather outside was nice and wanted to air out your shoes. Really, believe me.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu so calm, Qin Liu didn’t think much of it.
“You didn’t wash them, did you?”
“No, I just planned to air them out.”
“Okay.”
Qin Liu said and walked towards the restroom.
The restroom wasn’t far from the storage room.
So, without taking much time, Qin Liu arrived at the restroom door.
But for some reason.
When she placed her hand on the door handle, she suddenly felt a very powerful resentment hidden at the doorway.
That eerie feeling made Qin Liu shiver uncontrollably.
No way?
Could a ghost have entered?
The young girl nervously twisted the door handle and cautiously looked into the restroom.
Because the curtains were drawn, it was pitch black inside, and the chilling aura emanating from within made Qin Liu hesitate.
“Maybe… I should ask Liu Haoyu to take a look?”
“No, no, no, it shouldn’t be a big problem. After all, there are two ghost exorcists here, and I’m quite strong. I shouldn’t encounter any ghosts.”
Qin Liu took out her lantern, and under the illumination of the flame, the darkness inside the restroom was dispelled.
However, the restroom wasn’t large. Qin Liu looked up, down, left, and right, but couldn’t see any fierce ghosts.
She could only feel a very strong resentment.
This resentment was very strange. If it were based on Qin Liu’s feelings, it was like seeing something that couldn’t see the light, and a wronged soul hiding in a corner circling its fingers.
Where did this resentment come from?
Qin Liu secretly swallowed, then pulled open the curtains.
As sunlight shone in, she finally found the source of the resentment…
It was her embroidered shoes.
Hmm?
Qin Liu picked up the shoes, her expression seemed a bit confused.
But she didn’t see any damage or dirt marks on them either?
And when Qin Liu held the embroidered shoes in her hands, the pair of shoes immediately became calm.
It was really strange…
Qin Liu carried the shoes, preparing to return to the storage room to change clothes.
Because Liu Zining had burned a set of clothes for Bai Anting, Bai Anting’s clothes had been returned to her.
Compared to the red wedding dress, Qin Liu preferred the simple and convenient sailor uniform.
Upon returning to the storage room, before Qin Liu could ask Liu Haoyu to leave.
The embroidered shoes in her hands moved first.
As if taking revenge, these embroidered shoes directly slapped Liu Haoyu in the face.
The force was so great that it even knocked the man to the ground.
“???”
Qin Liu hadn’t understood what had happened yet, so she quickly stepped forward and asked Liu Haoyu.
“Are you okay?”
And also a bit… these shoes can move on their own?
But why did they fly directly to Liu Haoyu’s face?
Just as she was wondering, Black Book’s voice sounded leisurely.
“He’s fine, but Qin Liu, you don’t need to help him.”
“This is called serving him right.”
“Ah?”
——–
Qin Liu didn’t know what the embroidered shoes had experienced.
She wanted to ask the embroidered shoes, but it seemed too foolish to do so.
Moreover, these shoes didn’t seem to speak.
So, in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Only a large shoe print was left on Liu Haoyu’s face.
Black Book kept repeating two words.
“Serves you right.”
It was truly baffling.
“Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine.”
Liu Haoyu wiped the shoe print off his face, then asked Qin Liu.
“Did you and Bai Anting see a red coffin when you went to that Shenjing Village?”
“How do you know?” Qin Liu was a little surprised, but then seemed to realize something: “Did Black Book tell you?”
“Yes, but it was described in text, so I wanted to ask if you had any more detailed information.”
“I didn’t pay much attention to that…”
Qin Liu recalled the situation at the time, and then immediately thought of something.
“Right! When I came back, I got on that bus number 514, and I saw that passenger who was trying to grab the steering wheel. Red patterns were emerging from his body. Those patterns looked very ominous and spread throughout the entire bus…”
Qin Liu spoke torrentially, and after listening to Qin Liu’s description, Liu Haoyu began to draw a bright red talisman on paper.
He handed it to Qin Liu.
“Is it this?”
“Yes, yes, yes! It’s exactly like this!”
Qin Liu nodded repeatedly, but Liu Haoyu’s expression became increasingly grim.
As a ghost exorcist, he knew very well what this was.
This situation seemed even more terrifying than what the Red Gate and Black Book had said.
