Chapter 36 The Tool Door
Normally, Hongmen wouldn’t be afraid of Qin Liu.
But Qin Liu in this state was truly like a plague god a living embodiment of misfortune!
Hongmen absolutely did not want to mess with this formidable individual.
So why did Liu Haoyu, that scoundrel, bring back such a troublesome person after going out?
Perhaps because Liu Haoyu was present, Qin Liu didn’t act like a capitalist. She just nodded faintly and said:
“Combining work and rest is good, it’s good…”
But looking at Qin Liu’s appearance, Hongmen became even more flustered.
“I swear, the mission is already completed today! Really!”
The reason Hongmen was so scared was quite simple.
In this underworld, who didn’t know about this formidable Guide?
Fortunately, Qin Liu didn’t seem to mind Hongmen’s slacking.
Liu Haoyu then asked Hongmen:
“What’s Qin Liu’s current situation?”
As soon as Hongmen heard this, he immediately leaned into Liu Haoyu’s ear and said:
“It’s not good to talk about the current situation with Qin Liu face-to-face. Can you take me out first? Looking at Qin Liu’s current state, it’s like being caught slacking off at work by my boss…”
“…”
Liu Haoyu was a little speechless, but since Hongmen said so, he could only say to Qin Liu:
“I’m going out with Hongmen for a bit, Qin Liu. You should rest first.”
“Okay.”
The young girl nodded, then obediently lay down on the bed.
Liu Haoyu and Hongmen went down to the basement.
After arriving in the familiar and dark basement, Hongmen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hoo… Thanks, thanks.”
“No need. So why did Qin Liu end up like this? I’ve tried so many methods, but I couldn’t turn her back to normal.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, Hongmen couldn’t help but sneer.
“Back to normal? No, the current Qin Liu is her most original appearance!”
“Cold-blooded, ruthless, she is the most terrifying existence in this world, perhaps unparalleled.”
“Otherwise, how could this formidable person have fought her way through the underworld back then?”
“Back then, she even pulled out a lot of King Yama’s beard.”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu said with disbelief:
“Impossible. If she was that strong, how could she have been sealed in this haunted house and rely on Hong Yu to get out?”
To this, Hongmen continued:
“Have you ever heard of limitations?”
“Because her strength is terrifyingly immense, if she didn’t seal herself, she wouldn’t have been able to come to the human world. She would only wander in the underworld. I think if that were the case, even King Yama wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.”
Hongmen’s understanding of Qin Liu was indeed very deep. At this moment, the Black Book also slowly floated out of Liu Haoyu’s backpack.
A voice, indistinguishable by gender, sounded in Liu Haoyu’s ear:
“According to my observations, it is as the Gate of the Yellow Springs stated.”
“She possesses maturity far beyond ordinary people, but seems to have encountered extremely unfortunate events during her childhood.”
“That’s why she became this cold-blooded.”
“It’s also the reason why she didn’t hesitate to return from hell to kill Gu Qianyang’s entire family.”
“And the reason she became this way is likely because she already knew the identity of that Ghost-faced Old Man and recalled the memory buried deep in her heart, sealed away due to extreme pain.”
———–
On the other side, Qin Liu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
In fact, her mental state was very good right now.
Her consciousness was also very clear; she wasn’t being controlled by the so-called Guide.
Her eyes, which had returned to normal, gazed at the bright moon outside the window. No one knew what she was thinking.
After leaving Shirley Lai’s bedroom, she fearfully, unconsciously entered the Guide’s state.
Following the traces left by the other party, she tracked them all the way.
And on the third floor, she saw the Ghost-faced Old Man.
To be precise, he had been waiting for her there the whole time.
Under the effect of the white Yin-Yang Mirror, she remembered everything completely.
Although her memories were still incomplete, she had indeed recalled a lot.
She hadn’t transmigrated halfway through.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Qin Liu had already arrived in this world.
At that time, Gu Qianyang publicly claimed that Qin Liu was an abandoned infant left in the wind and snow.
Even Qin Liu believed this from the beginning.
So, even though she was forever confined in this haunted house, she still had memories of her past life, and her days weren’t too boring.
Even when she learned that she was a living sacrifice and had accepted this fate from the beginning.
After all, Gu Qianyang was the adoptive father who had taken her in.
It wasn’t until… her powerful Spiritual Sight began to awaken, and it was at that time that she learned the truth of the matter.
She wasn’t some abandoned infant by the roadside!
She had her own parents; a kind father who worked in a steel plant, and a gentle mother who took care of the children at home. The family of three originally lived an ordinary life and raised her until she was five years old.
Gu Qianyang, the Ghost Exorcist, in order to obtain the best living sacrifice, used the most secretive and cruel methods to cause an accident that pushed her father into molten steel. Her mother was also secretly murdered by him. To cover up the murder, he directly poured her body into a cement barrel and dumped it into the river.
Qin Liu, who was only five years old, also had her memory erased.
No one knew about this incident. Even Qin Liu initially believed Gu Qianyang’s story.
If it weren’t for her powerful Spiritual Sight, which allowed her to see the souls of her parents who were clinging to the window, she might have never known Gu Qianyang’s scheme until her death.
However, she knew everything now.
Therefore…
Qin Liu was destined not to let them go.
Through her past life memories and powerful supernatural talent, Qin Liu had been researching the ritual to seal the Night Walker.
She spent several years researching it. During this period, Gu Qianyang did not notice that she had regained her memory.
When the ritual began, Qin Liu suddenly attacked. Despite enduring the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at her heart, she was still able to destroy the crucial nodes of the sealing ritual and directly consume the protective talismans she had prepared for years.
As a result… she became the Night Walker and was not controlled by Gu Qianyang.
However, the other party was also not to be trifled with. When stopping him from escaping, he opened the Gate of the Yellow Springs and sent Qin Liu into the underworld.
It is said that the underworld is easy to enter but difficult to leave.
But by sheer coincidence, as a transmigrator, she could also reverse the situation, just like the saying “thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully a poor girl.”
Therefore, even though the underworld was strong, she was still able to fight her way back to the human world from within and tear Gu Qianyang, that scoundrel, into five pieces.
Looking at the scattered remains on the ground, although revenge had been achieved, Qin Liu’s heart was incredibly empty.
Her future was also bleak.
Looking at the devastated underworld and the heavy encirclement of countless underworld officials, Qin Liu finally decided to pick up the lantern of the Guide she had casually killed and become the new Guide, contributing her humble efforts to the post-disaster reconstruction of the underworld.
As for the Gate of the Yellow Springs…
It was just a conveniently grabbed, very useful tool door.
