Chapter 7 Bad Guesses
Hearing the strange voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Haoyu was slightly stunned.
He subconsciously thought he had dialed the wrong number, but after looking closely, he realized he hadn’t.
Could it be that Deng Xiaolin, that little girl, had changed her phone number?
While Liu Haoyu was thinking, he found Deng Xiaolin on WeChat and this time, he made a WeChat call.
“Beep… Beep…”
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response, as if Deng Xiaolin had abandoned her WeChat account.
Liu Haoyu became even more curious.
He couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
To be safe, this time he dialed Old Deng’s number.
As they say, third time’s the charm, this call finally went through.
“Hello? Is this Old Deng?”
“Little Liu?” The old man on the other end of the phone was a little surprised. “It’s rare for you to call me proactively. Is there anything wrong?”
“It’s like this, I can’t get through to Xiaolin, and I can’t reach her on WeChat. Did she change her phone number?”
“No, she didn’t… Oh no!”
Old Deng’s tone suddenly became startled, which really frightened Liu Haoyu.
“What’s wrong?”
“The barrier in the shop has fluctuated. Something dirty has entered!”
At this moment, Old Deng was drinking with friends outside. Realizing that Deng Xiaolin was in danger, he couldn’t bother to explain to Liu Haoyu and quickly hung up the phone, rushing towards the shop.
As Liu Haoyu listened to the sound of the phone being hung up, the expression on his face became increasingly solemn.
It shouldn’t be like this. With Deng Xiaolin’s innate sensory abilities, she should be able to avoid ghosts and monsters easily.
More importantly, ghosts are rare. If Deng Xiaolin could stay home or study obediently, the probability of encountering a ghost would be no different from winning the lottery.
Could it be…
Liu Haoyu had a bad feeling in his heart.
He never wanted Deng Xiaolin to become a ghost exorcist.
This profession was too full of danger and uncertainty.
Even someone as strong as himself, an exorcist, would have died countless times without Qin Liu’s help, let alone Deng Xiaolin, a novice.
If she encountered a powerful fierce ghost, Old Deng’s current physical condition would not be able to protect her completely.
He definitely had to go.
With that thought, Liu Haoyu subconsciously got on his motorcycle and prepared to start it.
But then he suddenly remembered something, so he looked up and shouted towards the second-floor window.
“I’m going to Old Deng’s place. Qin Liu, do you want to come with me?”
Qin Liu had already gone upstairs, and she must be in the bedroom now. She could probably hear his shout.
As expected, after a while, the little head of the little ghost poked out of the window. She puffed out her cheeks, seeming a little unhappy, but she said without hesitation.
“I want to go!”
Although Qin Liu would rather have a good night’s rest at home.
But since Liu Haoyu was going to find Old Deng, she naturally had to go with him.
Most importantly, she was quite afraid of Deng Xiaolin now.
Even though Qin Liu’s senses were a bit slow and her mind was a bit dull.
She knew very well Deng Xiaolin’s thoughts and feelings towards Liu Haoyu.
So, to avoid any potential “home invasion,” she had to go find him.
On the other hand, she couldn’t help but have a little complaint about Liu Haoyu’s popularity with women.
How can this shrimp head guy be so popular?
Come to think of it, he had met quite a few beautiful girls, and that didn’t even include his own sister.
Among the many girls around him, there was only one person Qin Liu could truly trust.
That was a confirmed good brother, someone she trusted completely.
As for the others… she should keep a close eye on them.
“Come inside the Hong Yu.”
“Okay.”
Qin Liu shrunk into the Hong Yu, and Liu Haoyu gently twisted the throttle. The black motorcycle kicked up a cloud of dust and disappeared into the vast night.
————————
At full speed, it took Liu Haoyu less than half an hour to arrive in front of the folk custom shop.
The main door of the shop was open, but it was completely dark inside.
From the hasty way the door was opened, it was not difficult to see that Old Deng had also returned to the shop.
He wondered if Deng Xiaolin, that little girl, was safe now.
Liu Haoyu took a deep breath and entered the house with a high degree of vigilance.
Although Qin Liu was by his side, he didn’t want Qin Liu to take action.
The girl’s body couldn’t withstand too much hardship. According to the Black Book, Qin Liu’s physical weakness was becoming more and more apparent.
If she continued to use her abilities as a guide, it could lead to irreversible consequences.
At that point, the Qin Liu he saw, the human Qin Liu, would completely disappear.
Only the ghost Qin Liu would remain.
Even though the Black Book emphasized that she was human, Liu Haoyu didn’t think so.
He just hoped that Qin Liu could remain as she was, and be happy.
“Exorcism Talisman!”
As soon as he entered the house, Old Deng’s strong voice rang out.
“Bang!”
This was followed by a deafening explosion, so loud that it even shook the dust off the eaves.
“In the guest room.”
Hearing the sound, Liu Haoyu immediately understood where Deng Xiaolin and Old Deng were.
He ran into the guest room.
Old Deng had traces of dark red blood on the corner of his mouth, and Deng Xiaolin’s face looked very haggard.
After meeting for only a month, Liu Haoyu suddenly felt that this girl had changed a lot, and even the smile on her face had become very forced.
“Are you guys okay?”
“Hao-ge…”
Deng Xiaolin never expected Liu Haoyu to arrive so quickly. She even thought she was still in an illusion.
It wasn’t until she rubbed her eyes and confirmed it again that the girl let out a joyful exclamation. She put down her grandfather and threw herself into Liu Haoyu’s arms.
“Hao-ge, I missed you so much! Why did you come so suddenly, and you didn’t even say hello beforehand.”
Old Deng, who was placed aside, sighed helplessly and said in a low voice.
“Really, a daughter grows up and doesn’t stay home…”
But Deng Xiaolin, who was too excited, clearly didn’t hear her grandfather’s complaint. With a smile on her face, even the fear of encountering a fierce ghost instantly disappeared.
Facing the excited Deng Xiaolin, Liu Haoyu took out his mobile phone and explained.
“When I came back, I called you, but a completely unfamiliar old man answered the phone. I thought you had changed your phone number.”
Deng Xiaolin looked at the call record on Liu Haoyu’s phone and was slightly stunned.
The time of this call record was exactly when she encountered that old man.
So Liu Haoyu had indeed called at that time, but it was intercepted by that old man.
However, more than these things, Deng Xiaolin wanted to tell Liu Haoyu something.
“Hao-ge, Hao-ge, look, I’m a ghost exorcist now too.”
