Chapter 54: Impossible to See
Although Liu Haoyu felt extremely uncomfortable at that moment, there were more important things to do.
The Black Book extended a hand at this moment, pointing to the altar and saying.
“The spiritual energy has all been recalled into the altar.”
“Through this altar, the Black Coffin can be activated, but we need to find a way to activate it.”
“And I have a method that is not a method.”
“But before we implement it, I will ask you one last time.”
“You can choose to give up, but if you continue to persist, then even I cannot guarantee your safety.”
In response, Liu Haoyu also came back to his senses, his tone a little indifferent.
“No need to ask, just say it directly.”
“…”
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s resolute appearance, the Black Book fell silent again.
In fact, for the entire Underworld, it would be more beneficial than harmful if Qin Liu were to reincarnate like this.
No one wanted to have an unstable bomb in their hands, and it was no exception for the Black Book.
Ever since it came to the Human World to observe Qin Liu, it had been trying to find a way to counter her.
It’s just that the overlapping fate lines of Liu Haoyu and Qin Liu far exceeded its imagination.
So seeing Liu Haoyu like this, the Black Book let out a helpless sigh.
“You didn’t have to take this risk; living on safely would have been the best choice for you.”
“But since you are so determined, I don’t need to obstruct you any further.”
“Next, please wait for me for a moment.”
As the Black Book spoke, it flew onto the altar.
As the King of Rebirth, it was certainly not just a book that only mumbled.
Although it could not exert its full strength, it was still no problem to collect the spiritual energy in the altar for the next plan.
The spiritual energy gathered at the altar was drawn out bit by bit, and the Black Book hovered above the altar, its pages fluttering in the wind with the sound of turning pages.
The surface of the pages emitted a dark radiance, like eyes staring from the abyss.
It could see the future, and it could also see the past.
As the King of Rebirth, it could already control the power of reincarnation.
Liu Haoyu looked at the spiritual energy swirling around the Black Book, feeling a little shocked.
“What are you doing?”
With the flashing of light, a brilliant ball of light condensed above the Black Book.
“Even if the future cannot reveal the answer you desire…”
“Even if I cannot see through Qin Liu’s fate…”
“But with her Black Coffin as a medium, I can send back the time you want to return to.”
“Gate of the Yellow Springs, bring the Black Coffin over.”
Following the Black Book’s command, a bloody and strange red gate appeared behind Liu Haoyu.
The suffocating resentment from behind made Liu Haoyu tremble.
He instinctively wanted to dodge, but found that countless hands had already grabbed his body.
“Heh heh~” The red gate’s playful voice rang out behind Liu Haoyu: “Got you.”
Before his voice even fell, Liu Haoyu was directly dragged into the red gate by the pulling force from behind.
He fell heavily to the ground, and countless pale ghost hands re-covered the lid of the coffin above his head.
The sound from outside instantly disappeared, leaving only a chilling silence.
Although Liu Haoyu was startled by the sudden change, he calmed down again after steadying himself.
He did not knock on the coffin lid but chose to lie down.
This Black Coffin was very small; it was just right for Qin Liu to lie in, but Liu Haoyu could only curl up, his entire body hunched, very uncomfortable.
Inside the ice-cold Black Coffin, a warm current appeared and enveloped him completely.
The Black Book’s voice sounded in his ear.
“Close your eyes, clear your mind…”
As the Black Book’s gentle voice rang out, Liu Haoyu felt his body being pulled by an invisible force and gradually breaking free from its constraints. He felt as if he were submerged in water, being carried away by the current little by little.
“Your body…”
Liu Haoyu felt his body gradually merge into the surrounding darkness. His limbs had lost all sensation, leaving only a strange sense of lightness, as if he were in an environment of weightlessness in outer space.
“Your soul…”
The Black Book’s voice continued to guide him. Although Liu Haoyu felt like he had fainted, every word was like an imprint, etched into his mind.
He seemed to feel his soul being peeled away bit by bit, as if a hand were slowly lifting him up. His consciousness began to clear, and everything around him began to lose its connection to him, leaving only the Black Book’s voice echoing in his ears.
“Give everything you have, all of it, to me…”
The Black Book’s voice changed from a deep, neutral tone to a crisp female voice. As the last word fell, some ancient ritual seemed to have been completed.
In the very next moment, a powerful force pulled him into a vortex.
He felt his soul gradually becoming distorted and blurred.
Memories in his mind also began to surface slowly.
However, this was not reminiscing; it was his own time rapidly going backward.
He saw the ferocious and terrifying face of the Night Walker before his death, and also the unwillingness on his father’s face at the moment of his departure. Various memories surged into his mind… until he saw his first encounter with Qin Liu.
“Is this time reversal?”
Liu Haoyu murmured in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, he saw a beam of light before him, and the surrounding scene gradually became clear.
At this moment, he found that he could move.
This was the interior of a luxurious mansion. Although it looked very opulent, it inexplicably exuded a strange coldness.
Even though sunlight fell into the room through the window, it could not dispel this inexplicable chill.
The empty mansion had no human presence, only an almost pathological sense of loneliness.
“Where is this…”
Liu Haoyu looked at the mansion, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
In response to his confusion, the Black Book’s voice echoed in his ear.
“This is a certain period in the 1980s.”
“Did I go back to the past??”
Liu Haoyu was quite surprised, but the Black Book just shook its head.
“Yes and no. Although you’ve returned to the past, you can’t change anything.”
“Because you are a spiritual body that does not belong to this era, no one can see you.”
“Currently, you are a completely void existence.”
“What you need to do is to find a way to activate the Black Coffin as soon as possible.”
After listening to the Black Book, Liu Haoyu looked at the silver-haired little loli watching him not far away and fell into deep thought.
“Are you sure no one else can see me?”
“Then what else? Even King Yama couldn’t see…”
Before the Black Book finished speaking, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.
“Uncle, how did you get in here?”
