Chapter 35 Fish-Slacking Gate
“Are we back?”
What had just happened was quite shocking for Shirley Lai.
Liu Haoyu looked around and found that both he and Shirley Lai were in the bedroom, as if they had never left.
“It seems so.”
After experiencing so many terrifying things, the time had already come to 2 AM.
He looked back at Qin Liu, whose hollow, lifeless eyes and constantly overflowing deathly aura meant that the young girl had not returned to normal.
“It’s getting late, I should leave here.”
“But…”
Shirley Lai had not yet recovered from the terrifying experience, and she tried to keep Liu Haoyu.
But the latter placed a finger on the girl’s forehead.
“Forgetfulness Talisman.”
As a faint light green radiance appeared, Shirley Lai fell asleep.
What she experienced today was indeed a bit too stimulating for this ordinary young girl.
So the best way was to make her forget.
As for whether the ghost-faced old man would come looking for them again…
Liu Haoyu was not sure. He merely focused his gaze on the pale white figure.
Zhenhua Lai could now be considered Shirley Lai’s Guardian Spirit, so Liu Haoyu took out a talisman from his pocket, lit it, and put the ashes into water, making the girl drink it.
This was a talisman for warning. If the ghost-faced old man came looking for them again, this talisman would give him a hint, and the Guardian Spirit behind her should be able to hold on until he arrived.
But in any case, he had to leave.
Qin Liu’s situation needed to be clarified as soon as possible. Otherwise, Liu Haoyu could not rest assured.
***
Liu Haoyu walked alone on the road.
Although there were streetlights on both sides of the road, they were not lit.
It was 2 AM now, the coldest and darkest time of the day.
Qin Liu followed behind him, not speaking a word along the way.
“Are you really okay?”
Liu Haoyu turned around and asked the girl.
Qin Liu just shook her head faintly.
“I’m fine.”
Her eyes were still so hollow, and her face had no expression.
Liu Haoyu turned around, and under the girl’s confused gaze, he placed his “picky hand” on her chest.
There was a heartbeat, and… it was really soft.
Qin Liu’s size was not very large, but not very small either. One hand could grasp it perfectly, and that feeling was the best.
But even so, the girl still stared at Liu Haoyu with her expressionless face.
Then, she reached out and pointed to the grass beside them.
Although Qin Liu did not speak, Liu Haoyu understood her thought.
“No, no, no, now is not the time for outdoor activities.”
“Then… your hand?”
“I was just feeling the frequency of your heartbeat.”
Liu Haoyu looked at Qin Liu with sincere eyes.
This scene lasted for a while. Even the expressionless Qin Liu could not bear it, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to lose control, Liu Haoyu finally let go.
Then he walked forward.
It still didn’t work, did it…
He sighed.
What was going on with this Qin Liu?
Now he could only go back and ask Hongmen.
As for asking the Black Book?
Now this book was tightly gripping the inner lining of his backpack, and Liu Haoyu could not pull it out no matter how hard he tried.
Facing Qin Liu in this state, the Black Book wished it could hide with its tail between its legs, unable to be questioned at all.
Was it that scary?
Liu Haoyu looked at Qin Liu. Although this girl exuded a cold deathly aura, she did not look very terrifying in appearance.
Mounting the motorcycle and twisting the throttle, accompanied by the roar of the engine, the motorcycle instantly reached the speed that could only be achieved on the highway.
The biting cold wind blew against Liu Haoyu’s black trench coat. Qin Liu sat in the back, her hands around Liu Haoyu’s waist.
Feeling the dense deathly aura behind him, Liu Haoyu was a little uncomfortable.
Although Qin Liu rarely spoke in the past, this kind of oppressive atmosphere was a first.
The expressionless Qin Liu behind him was like a cold puppet. Liu Haoyu would ask a question, and she would answer.
Coupled with this dense deathly aura, this experience was truly…
Liu Haoyu sighed and continued to drive towards the haunted house.
After nearly an hour, Liu Haoyu and Qin Liu finally returned to the haunted house.
After so long, Qin Liu had not changed at all, which gave Liu Haoyu a headache.
After returning home, the first thing he did was rush towards the Red Gate on the first floor.
There were no dark clouds in the sky outside. The silvery moonlight shone into the house and fell on Liu Haoyu.
He was already used to this dilapidated house and didn’t feel particularly cold here.
After all, no matter how cold it was, it couldn’t be colder than his girlfriend who was following him, right?
Walking to the end of the corridor, the blood-stained Red Gate stood quietly there.
Ever since Qin Liu came home, this door had been incredibly well-behaved.
Liu Haoyu pushed open the door and entered.
Inside the Red Gate was a dark and desperate world.
There was no sound and nothing could be seen inside.
It was like a black hole, where any light that entered would be completely devoured.
“Is anyone there?”
Liu Haoyu shouted into the darkness.
But the Red Gate did not appear, which made Liu Haoyu frown slightly.
Deng Xiaolin, who was resting here, was now nowhere to be found.
Could it be that they had gone out?
Liu Haoyu frowned slightly and shouted again.
“Wake up, time to work!”
Although it was in the basement, the voice seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and there was no echo at all.
Liu Haoyu felt a sense of strangeness. He looked back, and the adorable, expressionless Qin Liu was holding a lantern and looking at him.
“Could it be that she was scared away by Qin Liu?”
Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but complain silently.
After searching around here for a while, Liu Haoyu was sure that the Red Gate had definitely gone out.
But where did Deng Xiaolin go?
Since he couldn’t find her here, Liu Haoyu could only retreat from the basement and return to the second floor.
Qin Liu still maintained her expressionless demeanor and followed him from behind.
“Hmph, hmph, hmph~”
When Liu Haoyu pushed open the door of the room, he found that the young version of Qin Liu was lying on the bed and humming a tune with enjoyment.
Seeing his bed in such a mess because of this little ghost, Liu Haoyu’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
He thought that this door had gone out to work, but he found that she was actually slacking off at home.
“Oh~ you two are finally back…”
Hongmen, who was in a good mood, saw the expressionless girl standing behind Liu Haoyu and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
She quickly sat up, large beads of sweat constantly appearing on her forehead and dripping down.
“Bo… Boss! This is called work-life balance! I’m not slacking off at all!”
