Chapter 36 That’s not my offering, is it?
Seeing Qin Liu agree so readily, Liu Haoyu almost laughed out loud.
If nothing else, this was indeed the easiest fierce ghost he had encountered in his many years of practice.
No, her threat level to humans was now almost on par with a ghost.
The most prominent thing was that she could scare people but not kill them.
It would be great if all fierce ghosts in the world were as easy to deal with as Qin Liu.
Unfortunately, such things could only be imagined.
Most fierce ghosts had lost their minds or were monsters with only a small part of their consciousness remaining.
They were bloodthirsty, longed for revenge, and desperately dragged any innocent person they encountered into hell.
“But I also need your help with something,” Qin Liu had not forgotten her sister in Jiangquan City, so she said, “When the time comes, I need you to take me to Jiangquan City.”
“Jiangquan City? I was quite curious before. Do you have any obsession in your heart that makes you want to go to Jiangquan City?”
Obsessions could also turn into resentful energy, so Liu Haoyu had to ask clearly.
However, Qin Liu just shook her head and said.
“It’s not an obsession, but this is something I have to keep secret from everyone.”
“…Okay.”
Since Qin Liu didn’t want to say, Li Haoyu didn’t think there was any need to continue asking.
Even if this was truly her obsession, it should disappear after he took her to Jiangquan City.
So there was no need to break the casserole to ask to the end. Liu Haoyu knew about leaving some private space for others.
“Tonight, I plan to go to the city. Someone’s chest was ripped open by a fierce ghost, and all their heart and lungs were eaten clean. So, I need to investigate this matter clearly, and according to the Black Book, this matter might also be related to the resentful energy of the haunted house.”
“Can this possibly be related to my home?”
Qin Liu muttered, then said.
“In that case, I’ll go with you to take a look.”
Seeing Qin Liu agree, Liu Haoyu continued.
“So, we are in a cooperative relationship now, right? Then, as cooperating parties, you should also show yourself, shouldn’t you?”
“Actually, I’ve been in the bedroom for a while.”
When Liu Haoyu offered his sacrifice, Qin Liu had already returned to the bedroom and was talking face-to-face with Liu Haoyu.
“Can’t you see me?”
“…No.”
Liu Haoyu looked around the room again, and he truly couldn’t feel the aura of ghosts and monsters.
If it weren’t for the candle by the bed being lit, Liu Haoyu would have suspected that Qin Liu was tricking him.
“Then I can’t do anything about it either.”
Qin Liu shrugged. She was sitting right in front of him, and he couldn’t see her. Who could he blame?
Thinking about Deng Xiaolin, that girl, why could she see?
Think about it carefully.
“It seems I still need to find a way to get a silver mirror.”
Liu Haoyu was a little annoyed. Although he was a ghost exorcist, his own spiritual sight was not very high.
At least, it was not as high as Deng Xiaolin’s.
But compared to Deng Xiaolin, he could sense killing intent more clearly.
The first time he entered the haunted house, if Qin Liu had shown any killing intent, Liu Haoyu would not have spoken to her so amicably.
He might have even started fighting long ago.
“When you buy the silver mirror, I’ll never appear in front of you again, no matter what.”
In just a few days, Qin Liu had gotten to know Liu Haoyu a little. This man was a bit of a shrimp head.
So it was better not to reveal her appearance as much as possible.
“Um… Speaking of which, what are you eating?”
For some reason, while talking just now, Qin Liu saw Liu Haoyu chewing something.
It was crunchy, probably potato chips?
“Potato chips.”
But Qin Liu had clearly seen that there was nothing left in Liu Haoyu’s backpack just now.
As Qin Liu was wondering, Liu Haoyu took a sip of Sprite.
Looking at the snacks in his hand, Qin Liu thought Liu Haoyu still had some stock. Being a little greedy, she asked.
“Do you have anything else to eat?”
“No more, I gave all the snacks to you.”
Liu Haoyu hadn’t bought many snacks in the first place, and he had given all the remaining ones to Qin Liu.
“You gave them all to me… Where did the things in your hands come from?”
Qin Liu’s small face was full of confusion. Since Liu Haoyu had given all the snacks to her, what was the deal with the Sprite and potato chips in his hands?
And they were of the same flavor as hers.
After Liu Haoyu had eaten and drunk his fill, the young man extended his hand and pointed to a corner of the room.
Qin Liu looked towards the corner, but the potato chips and Sprite that should have been on the altar had already disappeared.
Then, her small face turned red, and the whole ghost didn’t know if it was from anger or shame.
“That’s not my offering!?”
———-
Time came to the evening. Liu Haoyu brought his tools and came to the outside of the haunted house.
Because a certain poor ghost’s offering was stolen, she didn’t want to talk to Liu Haoyu anymore.
Liu Haoyu didn’t feel anything. He got on his motorcycle, gently twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle roared onto the road.
Today is the fifteenth day, the full moon, when yin energy gathers.
All things in heaven and earth will be shrouded in the silver light of the full moon, and lonely souls and ghosts hiding in the dark will also show themselves.
Just like people basking in the sun, ghosts prefer to bask in the moon.
So, going out during the full moon is the easiest time to encounter unclean things.
But Liu Haoyu was not afraid of this.
He drove his motorcycle at full speed, the roar of the engine echoing in the silent night.
If there were really ghosts, as long as they weren’t fierce ghosts of Liu Xiaoxiao’s level, they could basically be smashed head-on.
By the time Liu Haoyu arrived at the home of the third murderer, it was already eleven o’clock in the evening.
“What a secluded location.”
The third murderer who killed Liu Xiaoxiao was originally named Li Qing, and later changed his name to Zhu Xingxue. He was originally a farmer from a village near the reservoir.
He was friends with the other two murderers. When those two went night fishing, he went to deliver something and happened to run into them kidnapping Liu Xiaoxiao, so he joined the criminal gang together.
However, he didn’t commit the crime of rape, but committed a more serious crime of murder. Before he could be judged by the law, an unknown fierce ghost killed his entire family.
It could be said to be retribution.
Evenings in rural areas are not like big cities. After 9 or 10 o’clock, people basically don’t go out.
The houses by the roadside had almost all turned off their lights, with only two or three houses still lit.
But soon, the last two or three houses also extinguished their lights.
At this point, the village fell completely silent.
Liu Haoyu slowed down his motorcycle and quietly entered the village.
Following the instructions in the Black Book, he soon found a house.
Unlike other houses, this house was entirely red.
From a distance, this solitary house looked like a giant coffin lying there quietly.
