Chapter 8 Illusions
Listening to the sounds outside the door, Qin Liu covered her mouth, preventing herself from screaming.
At this moment, she realized that the mirror in the room was once again delayed, just like before. She clearly saw the corners of her mouth turning up slightly, revealing the same chilling smile as the woman in the bathroom mirror.
And it was at this moment that Qin Liu understood something.
Everything she was seeing right now was likely an illusion. Someone seemed to have used her memories to create such a terrifying scene.
And if it were an illusion, then all she needed to do was find a way to wake up from it…
But the problem was how to wake up?
Although Qin Liu had some understanding of ghost exorcism techniques, due to a certain old bastard, she hadn’t encountered any knowledge in this area, so she naturally didn’t know how to break free.
“Are you asleep?”
The voice outside continued to sound.
“I feel like there’s something unclean in your room. Can I come in?”
“No!” Qin Liu instinctively replied, “There’s nothing in my room.”
Compared to the strange presence in the mirror, Qin Liu was more afraid of the man outside who was acting strangely.
At this moment, the woman in the mirror wrote two more lines of blood.
“Night Walker… has arrived…”
“Run quickly…”
Seeing these words, Qin Liu paused.
She certainly knew what a Night Walker was.
Wasn’t this precisely the monster that old bastard Gu Qinyang had always wanted to seal within himself?
Could it be that old bastard Gu Qinyang hadn’t defeated this thing and it had come to her?
“Knock knock knock!!”
While Qin Liu was thinking, the knocking outside suddenly became more violent.
“There’s a ghost in your room! Open the door quickly!”
“It’s very dangerous inside! You have to believe me!”
“Am I not the person you trust the most?!”
The voice outside became increasingly sharp, but Qin Liu was much calmer now.
If the person outside was truly Liu Haoyu, he would have already passed through the wall.
So it was obvious that the monster outside was not Liu Haoyu himself.
It was being blocked by the formation that Gu Qinyang had left in the room, trying to lure herself out.
But this time, she wouldn’t be so foolish as to run out.
“There’s nothing in my room.”
Qin Liu responded loudly.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, carefully recalling the past few minutes when she had gone out, and realized she had been too careless.
Fortunately, the other party hadn’t taken advantage of the opportunity at that time…
Now, as long as she stayed in the room, she should be safe.
The knocking outside gradually subsided, and it seemed the other party had given up.
Just as Qin Liu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the terrifying woman in the mirror wrote two more lines of blood.
“Run quickly…”
“It’s inside…”
Seeing these two lines, Qin Liu quickly looked up and scanned the entire room.
Faintly, she seemed to hear footsteps echoing in the room.
These footsteps made a strange rhythm on the wooden floor, three steps and a pause, like some kind of peculiar counting method.
And these footsteps were getting closer and closer…
Until Qin Liu clearly saw the candlelight in the room flickering, and the basin of water, which had been calm, began to ripple.
Then, under her terrified gaze, a pale hand slowly emerged from the basin of water…
Seeing this, a bone-chilling coldness instantly spread from her limbs to her entire body. Just then, a furious roar sounded in her ear.
“Evil spirits, retreat!”
A deep voice pierced through the layers of darkness, forcibly pulling Qin Liu back from the darkness.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and a mouthful of bathwater immediately gushed into her nostrils, causing her to cough violently.
“Cough cough cough!!”
When Qin Liu came to her senses, she realized she was half-lying in the cooled bathtub, the water reaching past her chin.
“Are you alright?”
Liu Haoyu’s face appeared above her, and he pulled her out of the water.
“I’m fine…”
Qin Liu calmed herself and then looked at Liu Haoyu again.
Although this man was a bit of a shrimp head, and perhaps had a loli complex, the feeling he gave her was completely different from the “Liu Haoyu” in the illusion.
He was so reassuring, so relaxing…
“Did you save me just now?”
At this moment, Qin Liu’s mind was still immersed in the terrifying scene and the furious roar that had cut through the darkness at the end.
“Sort of,” Liu Haoyu sighed. “I didn’t expect this place to be haunted too.”
Liu Haoyu didn’t know the origin of the ghost, but he was certain that its strength was not weak, otherwise, it couldn’t have passed through the formation in the room to affect Qin Liu inside.
“Thank you…”
Qin Liu buried herself in the water again. After returning from the terrifying experience, she realized that she wasn’t wearing anything!
“Um… this… can you hand me the towel? And… please turn around.”
The little loli’s face was as red as a ripe apple.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu, eager to save her, also realized that the situation was a little…
He was used to Qin Liu climbing on him countless times.
But the Qin Liu in front of him seemed to be more reserved.
So… why did such a reserved and cute little loli turn into a berserk cavalrywoman when she grew up!?
“Okay.”
Liu Haoyu handed over the dry towel next to him and turned around.
“Wipe yourself clean first. You’ve been soaking in the water for so long, don’t catch a cold.”
Seeing him turn around, the blush on Qin Liu’s face faded a little. She fumbled to wrap herself with the towel and then said to Liu Haoyu.
“I… I think I was pulled into an illusion by the Night Walker just now.”
“Night Walker?”
Hearing the name, Liu Haoyu was also stunned.
He had clearly killed this thing.
Why was this guy so persistent?
However, while he was wondering, the Black Book reminded Liu Haoyu.
“It’s not the Night Walker from your era. It’s likely the Night Walker from this era, wanting to eliminate Gu Qinyang and others’ thoughts about it from the root. That is to say… it wants to kill Qin Liu.”

Seeing Liu Haoyu lost in thought, Qin Liu asked doubtfully.
“Judging by your expression, you seem to know this guy?”
“We’ve had a run-in.”
Liu Haoyu sighed.
“So, what did you see in the illusion?”
Illusions, although usually created based on the recipient’s memories, might also reveal some clues.
Facing Liu Haoyu’s question, Qin Liu pondered for a moment and then looked at him.
Her expression seemed almost unbelievable.
“The “Liu Haoyu” in the illusion said… you are my future husband.”
“…?”
