Chapter 38 Mountaintop
Seeing that the long-tongued ghost had calmed down, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but sigh.
In the end, Qin Liu had to take action…
What’s the difference between this and him being a kept man?
Forget it, being a kept man is quite good.
Liu Haoyu tucked the gun in his hand back to his waist and said to the long-tongued ghost.
“Don’t be afraid, that female ghost just now was my wife.”
“…”
The long-tongued ghost was speechless as it looked at Liu Haoyu. It didn’t expect this terrorist to have such a heavy taste.
“So… you are not only a terrorist, but also a necrophile.”
“Why is it so difficult to explain things to you?”
Liu Haoyu had lost his temper with this long-tongued ghost at this time.
Just then, the terrifying red-clothed phantom appeared behind him again.
The long-tongued ghost stared at Liu Haoyu’s back dumbfounded. The invisible oppressive feeling made it unable to breathe.
The entire ghost stiffened in place, almost unable to move.
The aura of death continuously climbed into the long-tongued ghost’s heart. In its opinion, it seemed that this red shadow only needed to blow a breath to make it die on the spot.
Liu Haoyu felt the temperature around him dropping at this moment. He looked back and sure enough, Qin Liu was holding a lantern and looking at him with a dazed and cute expression.
“What the heck!”
Liu Haoyu said in surprise.
“Qin Liu, why did you come out?”
“Worried about your safety… and this ghost…”
The young girl’s gaze shifted to the long-tongued ghost. Just by looking at it, the suffocating feeling of its heart being clenched made the long-tongued ghost immediately understand what despair and fear were.
“Him,” Liu Haoyu said, “It’s okay, he’s not a threat. I still wanted to reason with him.”
“Is that so?”
Qin Liu, who had become completely emotionless, tilted her head and said.
“Alright then, I’ll go back into Hong Yu. If there’s any danger, be sure to call me.”
“Of course, of course.”
Liu Haoyu naturally understood Qin Liu’s thoughts.
This girl was simply worried about his safety, so she would pop out to take a look from time to time.
But in reality, ever since she first peeked out, there were no ghosts, let alone people, to be found in this place. Liu Haoyu, who had finally encountered a talking ghost, didn’t want it to be scared to death by Qin Liu.
When Qin Liu returned to Hong Yu again, this time, the long-tongued ghost was truly obedient.
That female ghost was already terrifying enough, but that female ghost actually obeyed his commands. Doesn’t this mean that this man was even more terrifying than the female ghost?
After a long silence, the long-tongued ghost said.
“Excuse me… is that living father just now really your wife?”
“Yes.”
“Did you get her yourself?”
“What else?”
Liu Haoyu shrugged.
“Could it be that the Civil Affairs Bureau gave me one?”
“You’re amazing,” the long-tongued ghost gave Liu Haoyu a thumbs-up. “You can even lay hands on a ghost. Can you introduce me to one? I want a wife as strong as that.”
“You’re dreaming.”
Liu Haoyu walked to the long-tongued ghost’s side and said casually.
“But I see that you seem to have been here for a long time, so you must be very familiar with this place, right? Can I ask you something?”
“Please, go ahead.”
Liu Haoyu said with a serious expression.
“First, your name, gender, age…”
“Are you here to check household registration?” The long-tongued ghost’s mouth twitched. “I was a police officer when I was alive, but you can’t interrogate me with police tactics.”
“It’s just that I’m afraid you’re not familiar with the process.”
“I’m much more familiar than you are.”
After Qin Liu disappeared, the long-tongued ghost’s courage clearly increased a lot.
“Zhang Haocheng. Three years ago, I was investigating here and accidentally entered this place, and then I died here. However, someone helped me and kept me conscious.”
“So I can scare people at the entrance and scare away those who mistakenly entered here or were curious about this place.”
After listening to the long-tongued ghost’s narrative, Liu Haoyu had a general idea of its background.
When he was in Beiming City before, he had indeed heard about this police officer’s disappearance case.
He didn’t expect this police officer to appear here.
But now, these are not important. The important thing is to find Wu Yixuan’s location as soon as possible.
Liu Haoyu took out a photo of Wu Yixuan from his backpack and asked the long-tongued ghost.
“Have you seen this old man?”
“No.”
The long-tongued ghost shook its head.
“I only saw you enter this place alone.”
Hearing the other party’s answer, Liu Haoyu frowned.
Old Master Wu had indeed entered with him.
Now that he had lost his trace, it was difficult not to worry about his safety.
But at this moment, Liu Haoyu suddenly thought of something.
The long-tongued ghost had just said that someone had kept him conscious.
So… who was this person?
After a moment of thought, Liu Haoyu asked the long-tongued ghost again.
“By the way, have you seen a white, ethereal shadow, about this tall, with a scruffy uncle’s appearance?”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s description, the long-tongued ghost suddenly froze.
It said incredulously.
“You know him? He kept me conscious and prevented me from becoming a mindless monster like the other ghosts here.”
“Of course I know…” Liu Haoyu calmed down, suppressed his excitement, and asked the long-tongued ghost, “Where is he? I need to find him.”
“The white shadow you mentioned went to the Buddhist temple on the mountaintop a while ago…”
Before the long-tongued ghost could finish, Liu Haoyu said impatiently.
“What are we waiting for? Take me there.”
“Hey, hey, hey, I haven’t finished yet!” The long-tongued ghost quickly added, “That place is very dangerous. The fierce ghosts around here dare not approach it. I don’t want to go to my death.”
Hearing the long-tongued ghost’s words, Liu Haoyu silently drew out his fire axe and said kindly.
“Please lead the way, Officer Zhang. Thank you.”
“Damn it…” the long-tongued ghost muttered softly, “I don’t know what sins I committed in my past life to run into a guy like you.”
Despite his complaints, the long-tongued ghost still led Liu Haoyu towards the mountaintop.
It was very desolate here. The steps were covered with a thick layer of dead branches and fallen leaves because no one had cleaned them for many years.
Stepping on them made a crisp cracking sound.
While going up the mountain, the long-tongued ghost did not forget to say.
“On the mountaintop of Yeyeshangfeng, there is an abandoned Buddhist temple, and that place eats people.”
“From my observations here over the years, no wild ghosts that approached the temple on the mountaintop have ever come out alive.”
“I estimate that the white shadow uncle is also in grave danger on this trip.”
