Chapter 46 Special Guest
Facing the black book’s teasing, Liu Haoyu clearly didn’t take it to heart.
He could vaguely feel Qin Liu’s feelings for him.
But he also knew that now was not the time.
Qin Liu’s personality meant that he couldn’t be too rash.
Haste makes waste, don’t get her overheated, and then be controlled by the guide, and stuff herself into a coffin.
That would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
“Don’t you want to sleep hugging Qin Liu’s white stockings and ice cream?”
The black book continued to instigate, but Liu Haoyu just waved his hand and said.
“As if I can’t sleep hugging Qin Liu’s white stockings now.”
“Matters of emotion cannot be rushed.”
“Besides, instead of these romantic matters, why not think about how to catch that elusive Nekomata?”
After speaking, Liu Haoyu also left the room.
The black book watched his back and let out a helpless sigh.
This man was perhaps too used to being alone, and always hesitated so much when making crucial decisions.
The black book had the ability to peer into destiny, so how could it not know Liu Haoyu’s fear of being rejected by Qin Liu?
But then again… it was also true that relationships were between two people, and it was better for outsiders not to interfere too much.
“Dinner is ready.”
When Liu Haoyu went out to the living room, this little ghost was holding a plate of braised pork, as if planning to call him to the room.
Liu Haoyu looked at the empty living room and couldn’t help but ask.
“Where are the others?”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s question, Qin Liu placed the braised pork on the table.
“Liu Zining had to go deal with some school work. She’s graduating soon, so she has a lot to do.”
“As for Qiu Leling, her curse has also been lifted, so she went home early.”
“Is that so…”
Because the others had left, the living room was a bit quiet, but Liu Haoyu didn’t pay too much attention.
He was already used to being alone, so he was happy to have some peace.
“Help me tidy the table, and there are a few more dishes. I’ll go get them.”
“Okay.”
Looking at Qin Liu busy in the kitchen, Liu Haoyu was a bit lost in thought.
Even though she wasn’t tall, she now had a bit of a wifely aura.
Soon, after heating all the dishes, Qin Liu brought them all out.
These dishes were all made by Qin Liu and Liu Zining themselves. Even the leftovers from last night tasted very delicious.
Liu Haoyu couldn’t tell before, but one thing he had to admit was that Qin Liu’s cooking skills were indeed quite good.
“Is… is it delicious?”
Qin Liu’s gaze was a bit uncertain.
“It should be more delicious just out of the oven.”
“Mmm…” Liu Haoyu savored it carefully. “I’m not picky.”
“That’s good then…”
“Even the most ordinary dishes look appetizing when I see you wearing white stockings.”
“That sentence was clearly unnecessary!”
Qin Liu’s face turned a little red.
She clasped her legs together, her small feet wriggling restlessly.
Liu Haoyu ate three bowls in a row.
During the meal, the two of them didn’t say much.
After eating, Liu Haoyu sat on the sofa, and Qin Liu went to wash the dishes.
During this time, Liu Haoyu opened his phone.
He was preparing to search for information about the Nekomata.
However, just as he took out his phone, a text message suddenly popped up.
“Ding dong~”
“Congratulations on becoming a special guest for the Murder Mystery Escape Room…”
Seeing this message, Liu Haoyu subconsciously thought it was just a regular advertisement.
But when he looked closely, his pupils constricted.
This text message was sent from Bai Anting’s phone!
In other words, this was a challenge from that Nekomata.
Liu Haoyu’s expression turned serious. He clicked on the text message, preparing to examine its contents carefully.
However, just by opening the message, a powerful suction instantly grabbed Liu Haoyu’s hand.
The sudden drastic change caused Liu Haoyu to break out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding.
He tried to struggle, but found that the aura of death began to cling to him like a leech, eroding his will.
A woman’s laughter echoed in his ears.
Then, Liu Haoyu completely fainted.
The feeling of falling into darkness made his body incredibly heavy.
It was only when he fell to the ground that Liu Haoyu regained a sliver of consciousness.
The previous feeling of sinking was gone, replaced by an extremely chilling atmosphere.
It was as if he were in a morgue.
Even though his brain was in severe pain, Liu Haoyu managed to prop himself up.
He was screwed, damn it…
Before opening his eyes, besides the chilling aura, Liu Haoyu also smelled a strong musty odor.
This musty smell was like rotten wood in a damp environment, mixed with the scent of dust.
Liu Haoyu was very familiar with this smell.
Only old houses that hadn’t been lived in for a long time had this smell.
So, what kind of place was this?
Liu Haoyu shook his heavy head and gradually opened his eyes.
This was a room he had never seen before.
The grayish-white walls were covered with mottled cracks.
Old electrical wires were directly exposed on the walls. Following the wires, there was an old tungsten filament light bulb covered in spider webs.
The spherical bulb was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the tungsten wire inside was visibly broken, meaning it was completely dead.
The windows had been firmly nailed shut with wooden boards, and the cold, chilling wind seeped into the room through the gaps.
Even though Liu Haoyu was wearing a black trench coat, the cold wind made him shiver.
Liu Haoyu slowly walked to the window, trying to see the situation outside through the gaps.
But because the gaps were too narrow, he couldn’t see the outside world at all.
He only knew that it was nighttime.
There was a bed in the room, and Liu Haoyu had woken up on this bed.
In the small room, besides the bed, there was also a wooden table with peeling paint.
The sink in the kitchen was piled high with unwashed bowls, which were covered in black mold spots, looking very disgusting.
It was evident that this was a long-abandoned rental house.
Liu Haoyu opened the wooden door that looked like it could collapse at any moment and walked out of the room.
Then he saw that his current location was the living room and bedroom combined.
The kitchen was above the bedroom, and the entrance hall was to the left of the bedroom.
Through the long, winding entrance hall, it connected to the main door and the restroom.
In other words, this bedroom was in the center of the entire house, with no way out from the entrance hall. The already small room was divided in a scattered manner.
Such a confusing room layout was a major taboo in Feng Shui.
In plain language, this abstract room layout…
It clearly didn’t look like a place where living people would stay.
