Chapter 47 Undiscovered Clues
After bidding farewell to Deng Xiaolin, Liu Haoyu went to a secluded corner.
Although Old Deng had said many things, there were still many unresolved matters.
For example, when Old Deng and his companions entered the haunted house, they should have encountered Qin Liu.
However, based on his words, they only encountered a bunch of fierce ghosts and did not meet Qin Liu.
Regarding the basement door…
Not only Old Deng’s companions but even Old Wang kept making strange noises about the “basement,” clearly indicating a connection between them absolutely.
It’s just that he hasn’t figured out what’s going on yet.
With this in mind, Liu Haoyu took out the black book from his backpack.
After not writing in the black book for so many days, a large area of blank paper was now available.
This should be enough to ask many questions.
So, Liu Haoyu bit his finger. He wanted to write something on it, but the black book first displayed a line of text.
“The grudge of the white-clothed fierce ghost has been eliminated, and her enemy has been torn apart by her anger.”
“But the matter is far from over; the murderer of the family of four is still at large.”
“Please find this evil spirit from hell as soon as possible and purify it.”
“Note that the red house still holds clues you haven’t discovered.”
After displaying so many words, the black book fell silent.
Liu Haoyu saw that there was still some blank space, so he wrote on it.
“What is the relationship between Qin Liu and the basement door?”
In response to Liu Haoyu’s question, the black book did not respond, but instead silently spat the blood-written words Liu Haoyu had written onto the ground.
It seemed that it did not want to answer this question.
However, it must be said that the black book seemed to be very afraid of Qin Liu.
Regarding Qin Liu herself, it mostly chose to ignore or remain silent.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu could only ask a secondary question.
“Did Qin Liu kill those two ghost exorsists?”
According to Old Deng’s account, the two ghost exorsists who committed suicide clearly seemed to be under a spell.
The biggest possibility for being under a spell was encountering a fierce ghost.
Because of this, Liu Haoyu did not want this matter to be related to Qin Liu.
Based on his interactions during this time, the possibility of Qin Liu killing people was very, very low.
The black book looked at the question Liu Haoyu had written. After hesitating for a while, a line of text appeared.
“She was originally the most terrifying fierce ghost in the world. If she encountered those ghost exorsists, even ashes would not remain.”
“The main reason for their tragic death was that they saw what they should not have seen.”
“And you, you still have a chance to turn back. Give up investigating this matter, leave this haunted house.”
“Otherwise, your outcome will be the same as those ghost exorsists.”
The black book, like Old Deng, tried to dissuade Liu Haoyu.
But this young man simply closed the book calmly.
He didn’t say anything, and as usual, he rode his motorcycle in the afterglow of the sunset.

Liu Haoyu returned to the haunted house.
Before returning, he found that it was Thursday.
In addition to the promise he made to Qin Liu earlier, Liu Haoyu specifically went to Kentucky.
To offer some delicious modern food to this little ghost.
Carrying fried chicken, burgers, and fries into the bedroom, Liu Haoyu discovered that Qin Liu didn’t seem to be in the room.
Where did she go?
Although a bit confused, Qin Liu was, after all, a ghost who appeared and disappeared mysteriously, so Liu Haoyu didn’t think too much about it.
He placed the new incense sticks on the shrine again and placed the bag of Kentucky fried chicken on the altar.
Then, Liu Haoyu walked out of the room.
He wandered through the grim haunted house.
The temperature inside the haunted house was still very cold.
The light inside was also very dim. Liu Haoyu walked along the corridor on the first floor.
Soon, he reached the end of the corridor.
According to Old Deng’s account, the basement door should be located in this place.
But in front of Liu Haoyu, there was only a greyish-white wall covered with moss and vines.
Old and dilapidated, it was the same as the surrounding environment.
If it weren’t for Old Deng’s words, Liu Haoyu would never have thought that there was once a blood-red iron door here.
Looking at the greyish-white wall, Liu Haoyu slowly reached out and placed his hand on the wall.
But no matter how hard Liu Haoyu tried, he couldn’t push the wall open.
It was just a normal wall, and there was no hidden door behind it.
Liu Haoyu withdrew his hand.
It seemed that the door had really “run away.”
But he had to find it. Only by finding this door could he understand the source of the haunted house’s resentment.
However, he currently had no method or clues, so he could only follow the black book’s guidance to find the so-called “evil spirit from hell,” and perhaps understand what happened.
As the waning moon gradually rose, Liu Haoyu went outside, fetched a bucket of water, and soaked himself in it.
The icy cold water was bone-chilling but also cleared his mind.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to return to the blood-red civilian house again.
As the black book said, perhaps there were some clues he had overlooked inside.
While Liu Haoyu was soaking in the cold water, a missing person notice popped up on his mobile phone.
“Two students from Jiangcheng University have been missing for many days. If any citizens have discovered any clues, please contact 110 immediately…”
The two people mentioned in the news should be Sima Cai and Wang Linyi.
The efficiency of the police now is very strong compared to more than ten or twenty years ago.
Presumably, it wouldn’t take them long to find that red house.
However, he hadn’t left any clues in the house, so he assumed the police wouldn’t suspect him.
To be honest, in this line of work, what troubled Liu Haoyu the most wasn’t fierce ghosts, but the police.
If a stranger frequently entered and exited the scene of the crime, wouldn’t it look suspicious?
Moreover, since most of the perpetrators were fierce ghosts, it was usually difficult to explain his innocence clearly.
Therefore, in such situations, he had to be cautious, lest he be caught and put in jail instead of catching the ghost.
After bathing, Liu Haoyu wiped himself dry, put on his clothes, and entered the house.
The temperature in the house was even colder now. He shivered and then walked towards the bedroom.
However, for some reason, the bedroom was brightly lit by candlelight. Clearly, Qin Liu had returned to the bedroom.
Liu Haoyu gently pushed open the bedroom door and was about to enter.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a young girl wearing a red wedding dress sitting on the bed.
She was holding a burger with both hands, nibbling it bite by bite like a hamster, looking inexplicably cute.
And her tender white, porcelain-like feet were dangling gently, making one unable to resist wanting to hold them in their palm.
Good legs, nice to look at.
These flawless jade feet belonged to no one else but her.
But the problem was… she had manifested?
Liu Haoyu was stunned. As he refocused his gaze, preparing to look again.
The girl in red had disappeared, as if she had never existed.
