Chapter 44: Sleeping ghost on your head
Eager for revenge, Liu Xiaoxiao didn’t wait for Liu Haoyu to finish speaking.
She rushed forward impatiently, her endless black hair cutting off almost all the escape routes of the shadowy figure.
The shadowy figure wanted to escape, but found its limbs already tightly bound by the strands of hair.
No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t break free. It could only watch as a large amount of black hair burrowed into its body through its mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
The violent influx of black hair ripped its mouth apart and even broke its jaw.
Although it had already turned into a ghost servant, the shadowy figure now—that is, Zhu Xingxue—was being squeezed of a large amount of filthy blood.
It writhed and struggled, but it was all in vain.
The furious ghost was about to tear it to shreds.
Zhu Xingxue looked at Liu Haoyu not far away, extending his hand in despair, perhaps wanting to grasp this last straw of hope.
Or perhaps trying to drag this person down with him.
Liu Haoyu simply watched indifferently.
And even applauded.
In the resentful and unwilling eyes of the shadowy figure, its body was torn apart bit by bit, exploding from the inside.
All that remained on the ground was a pool of blood.
As if venting her anger, Liu Xiaoxiao stepped on the bloodstain twice, finally resolving her hatred and resentment at that moment.
After watching Liu Xiaoxiao finish, Liu Haoyu went to the coffins of the two college students.
Facing the unrecognizable corpses and the tormented souls, Liu Haoyu took out a talisman and said,
“In your next life, don’t come to this kind of place.”
With that, flames burned the two corpses to ashes, everything turning into nothingness.
Afterward, Liu Haoyu lit another cigarette and said to the white-clad ghost, his back turned,
“Are you at peace now? If you are, you should leave too.”
The white-clad ghost placed its hand on Liu Haoyu’s shoulder.
Her resentment was long gone, but her eyes were already filled with tears.
Cold tears fell to the ground, and the ghost murmured as if begging, as if hoping.
“Mom… Dad…”
Liu Haoyu turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaoxiao’s last trace of obsession, sighing as he said,
“I understand.”
As his voice fell, the white-clad ghost slowly disappeared before Liu Haoyu.
Only a wisp of hair remained in his hand.
Though called a wisp, there were only a few strands left.
Looking at the item in his hand, Liu Haoyu slowly walked out of the basement.
When he emerged from the house, a light and gentle female voice finally sounded.
“Um… is it all done?”
Qin Liu was quite startled by Liu Xiaoxiao’s fierce ghost-slaying act, but after understanding Liu Xiaoxiao’s situation, she spoke with a hint of sympathy,
“Are you going to find her parents now?”
“Pretty much.”
Liu Haoyu looked back at the ominous house, his mind filled with thoughts.
“Qin Liu, step back a bit.”
“Okay.”
From the young girl’s perspective, Liu Haoyu took out a talisman, and under its effect, the resentment within the house quickly gathered on the talisman.
However, perhaps because the resentment was too dense, a single talisman was not enough to absorb it all.
In the end, Liu Haoyu used a total of ten talismans to absorb all the resentment there.
The talismans that had absorbed the resentment turned completely black and looked extremely eerie.
Liu Haoyu scattered these talismans in various corners of the house and hid them with some camouflage.
“This way, the resentment here should be suppressed.”
With the fierce ghost resolved, the resentment here would likely dissipate completely after some time.
After doing all this, Liu Haoyu rode his motorcycle and prepared to go home.
—
As dawn was about to break, Liu Haoyu had returned home.
Along the way, Qin Liu had also asked Liu Haoyu if he could suppress the resentment in her house.
The answer was no.
In fact, Qin Liu knew very well that the resentment in her house was tens, or even nearly a hundred times greater than that in the residential house.
That was not something that talismans could suppress on such a scale.
And even if it could be suppressed by talismans, the resentment was still there, and she couldn’t just not have a home and sleep elsewhere.
Therefore, this matter had to be put on hold. As for now…
She had to get her bed back.
“That’s my bed!”
Qin Liu looked at Liu Haoyu lounging leisurely on her bed, her small face turning red with anger.
She had emphasized so many times that this was her room, yet this pervert was still stubbornly staying here.
To this, Liu Haoyu looked in the direction of the voice but didn’t see Qin Liu herself.
So after thinking for a moment, he shifted his body further into the bed, making room for one person on the already small bed.
“Sleep.”
“Sleep on your ghost head!”
Actually, Liu Haoyu didn’t want to snatch Qin Liu’s bed, but unfortunately… in this vast haunted house, there was only this one bed.
So, he decided to let the little ghost suffer a little first.
Qin Liu was extremely angry. Seeing the man had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep, she silently suppressed her anger.
Of course, she couldn’t sleep in the same bed with Liu Haoyu.
Fortunately, as a ghost, she could float while sleeping.
So after careful consideration, she chose to stay in the room.
Floating in mid-air, she lay down and stared fiercely at Liu Haoyu.
“Hope you freeze to death.”
Unfortunately, this small problem was nothing to this man.
Liu Haoyu pulled his air-conditioned blanket over himself and even closed his eyes with enjoyment.
When Liu Haoyu woke up, it was already one o’clock in the afternoon.
He yawned and washed his face.
There was a full-length mirror in the room.
Liu Haoyu looked at the mirror.
Due to his constant activities at night, his skin appeared very pale.
But also because of his lack of sleep, his eye sockets were a little sunken, and his spirit was a bit weak, making him look quite haggard.
Much like the mental state of contemporary college students.
He knew that Qin Liu was still in the room.
The cold air she blew made the room temperature drop to a dozen degrees Celsius in the middle of summer.
Unfortunately, this was just an ordinary mirror bought from a supermarket.
It was not a consecrated silver mirror, so he couldn’t see Qin Liu.
This was truly regrettable.
After all, he could faintly hear cute snoring sounds from the room. If he had a silver mirror, he might have been able to take a peek at the little ghost’s sleeping posture.
But he didn’t.
Liu Haoyu tiptoed out of the room.
He was going to Jiangliu City.
On one hand, he had to deliver the last wisp of hair to Liu Xiaoxiao’s mother.
On the other hand, Old Deng had lived in Jiangliu City for decades and was also a ghost exorcist. He should have known about this haunted house.
Perhaps he could get some information from him.
