Chapter 46 Forgotten Memories
The young girl lay back inside the black coffin, cold sweat constantly flowing from her forehead.
Decades of deep sleep had left her body in an extremely terrible state.
At this moment, she even doubted if vampires who slept for hundreds of years in novels could actually wake up.
Lying in the coffin for an unknown amount of time, Qin Liu could clearly feel the formation inside the black coffin operating again.
However, this was not the formation that sustained life, but rather… a formation that Qin Liu did not know.
This formation seemed to be affecting something.
Qin Liu had a premonition that this formation would only come into play when she truly died.
Thinking of this, she dared not neglect her situation. She supported herself again, using almost all the strength in her body.
Finally, the lid of the coffin trembled slightly, and the originally narrow gap began to widen bit by bit.
After a long time, a slender and pale hand stretched out from the gap.
In the darkness, her arm appeared so long and slender, and her skin was completely bloodless, as if she had been dead for a long time.
“Finally… I’m out…”
Qin Liu struggled to climb out of the black coffin. Her body was so weak that she could barely stand. Her legs went soft, and she almost fell.
Having been a ghost for so many years, the feeling of regaining a physical body was indeed different.
Qin Liu leaned on the edge of the black coffin, her hollow, vacant eyes scanning the surrounding environment.
“Red Gate… where did that guy go?”
She looked around, only to find that the black coffin was no longer in the basement. Instead, she had arrived in a desolate valley with no signs of life.
The air was filled with the smell of decay, as if this place had been forgotten for many years.
No one knew what dangers lay in this unknown environment. Qin Liu’s current body possessed no fighting ability, and she knew she had to leave this place as soon as possible.
The young girl struggled to stand up, leaning on the edge of the black coffin, trying to climb out.
However, her body was truly too weak. As soon as she climbed out of the black coffin, she almost fell to the ground.
The ill-fitting embroidered shoes made her feel a long-lost pain, which, coupled with her weak body, made it almost impossible for her to move.
As for the white stockings on her legs, she didn’t need to think to know they were the masterpiece of some shrimp head.
“Heh heh~”
Just then, a mocking voice sounded from behind Qin Liu.
She looked back and saw the Night Walker standing behind her.
This monster, covered in stitches, looked at Qin Liu with a mocking gaze.
“Long time no see, Qin Liu.”
“…”
Qin Liu remained silent, looking at the other party.
“I believe you haven’t forgotten me, have you? Even if you had, you should have recognized me again through soul departure, right?”
“Look at how weak you are now, where is the might you had back then?”
“You are nothing more than an ant now.”
The Night Walker reached out, trying to grab Qin Liu.
Seeing this, the young girl chose to retreat, but her weak body caused her to stumble and fall directly to the ground.
“Heh~ Still got the strength?”
The Night Walker was unhurried, like a hunter toying with its prey. He walked up to Qin Liu and said.
“I’ve always wondered, you clearly possessed unparalleled power, yet you chose to seal yourself to stay in the human world. What was the point?”
Yes… why did she choose to seal herself in the first place?
Qin Liu racked her brains to recall, but the fragmented memories in her mind made it difficult to find any clues.
The more she recalled, the more her head felt like it was about to explode.
What was the purpose of her staying in the human world from the beginning…
Was it to fulfill the duty of a guide?
Or was it to repay a debt to the Underworld?
No… these didn’t seem right.
The chaotic memories in her mind made Qin Liu’s already vacant eyes look like dulled, dusty crystals, devoid of any shine.
What was the reason for her existence?
“Not going to answer?” Seeing Qin Liu as if she had given up thinking, the Night Walker laughed instead of getting angry. “Forget it, in my opinion, you are truly foolish, utterly foolish!”
“Old man Gu Qianyang was right, all you need to do is avoid your spiritual body and capture your weak main body. What kind of Maginot Line is this? Hahaha!!”
The Night Walker’s maniacal laughter echoed through the valley.
Qin Liu did not respond.
She seemed to have remembered something…
In her childhood memories, besides Gu Qianyang, she had also met someone else.
To be precise, it was a spiritual body. Who was that person?
Qin Liu tried to recall the person’s appearance, but the incomplete memories in her mind made it impossible to remember.
She only knew that when she was at her loneliest and most helpless, that spiritual body had given her a book.
A book on ghost exorcism…
“Why no reaction at all?”
The Night Walker, who had intended to mock Qin Liu severely, found her response so lifeless, like a dead person, that it was quite boring.
“You took all my powers that year… How should I get revenge?”
“Torment? Torture…” The Night Walker pondered carefully. “No, no, if you die like this, it would be too easy for you.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Liu slightly raised her head, her vacant eyes staring at the Night Walker, as if contemplating something.
“What are you looking at me for? Heh~ Do you still want revenge?”
“Don’t even think about it. The reincarnation power on the transmigration altar is affecting you. As long as you die, you will return to the Reincarnation Department of the Underworld, and you will never be able to return to the human world.”
Qin Liu muttered in a low voice, “Is that so…”
“Tsk…”
Looking at Qin Liu, who was as unresponsive as a corpse, the Night Walker completely lost interest. Condensed black, dense resentment gathered in his hand. This level of resentment was enough to kill Qin Liu on contact in her current state.
“You should just die honestly.”
“Bang bang bang!!”
Just as the Night Walker was about to throw the resentment at Qin Liu, three consecutive gunshots pierced the silence of the valley.
However, the three shots did not hit any vital points. They only left three holes in her arm and completely dispersed the resentment in her hand.
The monster, covered in stitches, was also staggered, and blood continuously flowed from the three bullet holes.
“Who is it?!”
The Night Walker turned to look, only to find Liu Haoyu, who should have been trapped on Ye Shangfeng, inexplicably appearing here.
Smoke slowly drifted from the muzzle of the handgun in his hand.
“Oh dear~” The young version of Qin Liu stood behind Liu Haoyu and said to the Night Walker, “Don’t you know my sect is very good at leading people?”
“You guy…”
Although the Night Walker could fight Liu Haoyu and could even fight Hongmen to a draw,
seeing the Underworld-issued handgun in Liu Haoyu’s hand, and considering the current two-on-one situation, the Night Walker knew that winning was impossible.
The best strategy was to retreat. Nursing his wounded arm, he fled the scene in a sorry state.
