Chapter 43: Will I Die?
Seeing the lock of hair in Liu Haoyu’s hand, his brother’s body trembled uncontrollably.
However, because he was in a spiritual state, Liu Haoyu, a dark shadow, couldn’t see his expression.
Just as Liu Haoyu was about to leave, he finally spoke.
“You’re very strong, right?”
“I don’t know how strong I am,” Liu Haoyu said without turning his head. “All I know is that I’m the only one left alive among the ghost exorcists from my batch.”
Hearing this, his brother finally made up his mind.
“…Can you do me a favor? Kill my father… kill him…”
The more he spoke, the more distorted the young man’s tone became, and his movements were twitchy and frenzied.
The resentment in the air grew thicker, and under its influence, the young man’s heart was filled with hatred and animosity towards Zhu Xingxue.
The murderous intent suppressed deep within his soul made the entire room turn ice-cold.
To find his younger sister, this brother did not hesitate to summon a pen spirit, and even after his death, his hatred did not diminish in the slightest.
But he was just a child, and even though he was killed by a fierce ghost, he didn’t become much stronger.
“Kill him… kill him… then my sister can be freed…”
Just as Liu Haoyu had said, after death, souls would eventually dissipate. Even though this brother had appeared so normal before, at this moment, he became perilous and terrifying.
Liu Haoyu looked at the black shadow that had fallen into madness and sighed helplessly.
This child had completely lost his mind.
“Please kill him!!”
“Kill! Kill Zhu Xingxue!! Kill!”
The brother’s angry and hateful roars echoed in the room, and his hatred for his father erupted like a volcano.
The black shadow roared and shrieked, with its teeth bared and claws extended, as if this resentment wanted to devour any living being.
Unlike the white-clothed fierce ghost, in this state of complete loss of reason, killing Zhu Xingxue would not help him transcend to the afterlife.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu indifferently took out a Soul-鎮 talisman.
This posture of hatred and anger would only cause him more pain; it was better to let him find peace sooner.
The room flashed with a dazzling white light.
After Liu Haoyu walked out of the room, he leaned against the door and lit a cigarette.
“Hoo… Don’t worry, your father will be going to hell soon.”
The strong smell of tobacco numbed Liu Haoyu’s nerves, and the young man walked downstairs blankly.
Ghosts were humans in life, and ghosts after death.
Killing ghosts and killing humans were essentially not much different.
And if one didn’t have a strong heart like Liu Haoyu’s, many people would gradually develop self-condemnation and self-doubt in the process of continuous killing, thus losing their sanity and their original intention.
Either they would fall into complete madness, unable to distinguish between humans and ghosts, and degenerate into madmen who killed anyone they saw, whether human or ghost.
Or, they would choose to end themselves amidst endless nightmares.
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu looked up, trying to find Qin Liu.
But unfortunately, his spiritual sight was not very high, and he had no idea where Qin Liu was.
He only knew that this little ghost was still by his side.
So he said.
“Did you see that? As long as you are in resentment, you cannot avoid gradually losing your sanity. Perhaps you seem normal now, but it’s hard to say about the future.”
Qin Liu remained silent. The young man’s transformation from fear and pleading to a frenzied state in just a few seconds had been too rapid, so rapid that she hadn’t recovered yet.
Would she also end up in this situation one day?
What should she do then?
“Will I die?”
Finally, Qin Liu couldn’t help but ask this question.
Facing Qin Liu’s question, Liu Haoyu extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said.
“Do you remember the incense I lit for you? With the maintenance of these incense offerings, you won’t go mad like these lonely ghosts.”
The traditions left by our ancestors are not necessarily bad things. Sacrificing to ancestors can dispel the resentment generated by ghosts.
For example, no one would think that a martyrs’ cemetery would have a grim and terrifying atmosphere.
“And I will find the source of the haunted house’s resentment and won’t let you die.”
After Liu Haoyu finished speaking, he slowly walked downstairs under Qin Liu’s stunned gaze.
————————
Time had already reached the middle of the night.
This inherently grim house was even more terrifying at this moment.
The night wind outside howled, as if some monster was roaring.
The windows of the house rattled in the wind, and in the darkness, even more profound shadows appeared.
It entered the house through the main door and slowly made its way into the basement.
Then, it lay inside the coffin and feasted on the two corpses.
The sounds of bone shattering and blood splattering echoed non-stop in the desolate basement.
Just hearing the sounds was enough to make one’s heart pound, not to mention the piercing screams that accompanied the gnawing sounds.
The souls of the two college students had been dragged back by an adult black shadow.
It enjoyed the screams, the pleasure of torture, and the spattering of blood.
Just like the young girl it had killed by the reservoir in its life.
The bloody scene at that time kept reappearing in its remaining soul.
Screams echoed endlessly in the basement, and Sima Cai cried out in pain.
“I remember! I remember! I died long ago, ahhhhh!!”
For the two of them at this moment, the situation was like being eaten alive.
While in pain, their consciousness was clear, and even if they wanted to struggle, it was futile.
The black shadow tore and gnawed at them, like a beast that had lost its mind.
As it was enjoying itself, countless black hairs fell onto its body.
And the black shadow sensed a very strong killing intent. It turned its head to look.
It found a white figure behind it.
That pale face met its gaze, hidden beneath the messy and dense black hair were a pair of eyes filled with endless killing intent and resentment.
That was the hatred in Liu Xiaoxiao’s heart, and the painful obsession in her heart.
It was precisely because of this obsession and the promise Liu Haoyu had made that she had maintained her last bit of rationality.
“Kill you…”
“Kill you!!”
Compared to the white-clothed fierce ghost, Zhu Xingxue was merely a lower-level ghost servant, only knowing how to eat flesh and drink blood, and did not have much strength.
It was fine to bully ordinary people, but when facing a white-clothed fierce ghost, it was not an opponent of the same caliber at all.
It tried to escape, but the dense black hair had already sealed off the entire basement. The fierce ghost’s bloodshot eyes were already blinded by hatred.
Liu Haoyu also emerged from the shadows. He looked at Zhu Xingxue, who had already panicked, and said.
“Good and evil will eventually be repaid. Let her explain things to you now.”
