Chapter 14 Another Side
Time went back about half an hour. After Liu Haoyu left Qin Liu’s bedroom, he heard a piercing alarm.
A large number of servants woke up in a panic, and they rushed to confirm what had triggered the alarm. After confirming that the alarm was coming from Qin Liu’s bedroom on the third floor, these people rushed up without delay.
Liu Haoyu took the opportunity to reach the end of the corridor on the first floor.
Looking at the familiar rusty iron door in front of him, he couldn’t help but think of a certain red door.
However, it was obvious that this iron door was just an ordinary door, not the utterly useless red door.
Seeing Liu Haoyu sneaking around, the Black Book couldn’t help but complain.
“They can’t see you, why are you being so timid as if you were a thief?”
“That’s true…”
After being reminded by the Black Book, Liu Haoyu straightened his back.
He passed through the iron door and went all the way down the stairs to the basement.
The air in the basement was turbid and cold, mixed with a strong smell of mold and a certain old scent of blood.
Looking at this dark place, Liu Haoyu took out the flashlight from his backpack and scanned the interior of the basement.
The light illuminated the dusty bookshelves, where yellowed ancient books were neatly arranged. The spines of the books were printed with various names of ghost exorcism techniques, including some chilling evil arts.
“This old bastard really has some twisted taste to collect these things…”
Liu Haoyu muttered softly.
“Where is that book about sealing the Night Walker?”
In response to Liu Haoyu’s question, the Black Book stretched out its hand and placed it on the bookshelf for a while before it made doubtfully.
“No…”
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing the Black Book speak in such a tone, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but have a bad premonition.
The Black Book’s next words confirmed his premonition.
“That book is not here; it seems someone took it away.”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu’s expression sank.
“Apart from that book, is there any other way to learn about the sealing method?”
“As of now, no,” the Black Book said with some regret. “The sealing of the Black Coffin was developed by Gu Qianyang alone, so apart from that book and himself, no one else knows about it.”
“Tsk…”
Liu Haoyu clicked his tongue.
“Do you know where that book went?”
“Let me see.”
The Black Book placed its hand on the bookshelf again, and time ticked by second by second. Soon, it learned the whereabouts of the book.
“This book was taken by a ghost exorcist named Gu Mingyuan.”
“Gu Mingyuan?”
Because of a certain old bastard, Liu Haoyu was naturally quite annoyed by this Gu Mingyuan who suddenly appeared.
“Is he related to Gu Qianyang?”
“Your guess is correct; he is indeed one of the major ghost exorcists who later sealed the Night Walker.”
“Damn it…”
Liu Haoyu had ten thousand curses in his heart, but since the book had already been taken by the other party, he decided to copy some ghost exorcism techniques from this trip for Qin Liu.
With this in mind, Liu Haoyu took out a blank book without any words, selected a few righteous ghost exorcism techniques from the bookshelf, and began to copy them onto the blank book bit by bit using talismans.
With the help of the talismans, Liu Haoyu successfully copied four or five books in less than ten minutes.
But then, he suddenly heard extremely noisy sounds from upstairs, as if something was engaged in a fierce battle.
What was worse was that such a dense aura of resentment meant that the battle above was intense.
Liu Haoyu first confirmed the reaction of the copper coin.
Qin Liu had not called him.
Could it be that such an intense battle did not affect her?
Liu Haoyu certainly did not believe it.
Moreover, his eyelids kept twitching, which meant that something bad was definitely happening, or had already happened.
“What’s going on upstairs?”
The Black Book also sensed something upstairs and immediately reminded him.
“A Nekomata is fighting a clone of the Night Walker. That clone is the guy who trapped Qin Liu in an illusion before.”
“I knew it wouldn’t be anything good!”
Liu Haoyu cursed inwardly and then ran upstairs out of the basement without a second word.
But at this moment, a violent tremor and a loud noise resounded through the night sky. Liu Haoyu, who had just exited the basement, finally realized how fierce the battle outside was.
The ceiling on the first floor was full of holes, and the walls made of red bricks were covered with claw marks, like the traces left by some ferocious beast.
Many servants who were lying unconscious on the ground were also affected by the battle. To exaggerate, these people were scattered everywhere.
With a battle of this magnitude, it would be a ghost if Qin Liu was safe and sound!
Besides, hadn’t he told her?
Throw the copper coin on the ground if you encounter danger!
Why was there no reaction from his side at all?
Just as Liu Haoyu was anxiously worried, the Black Book explained.
“She didn’t want to interrupt your mission to find the book, and even when she was escaping, she ran towards the main door.”
“… Damn it!”
Liu Haoyu finally understood that although this Qin Liu had a sharp tongue and was even more mature than Da Qin Liu in personality, that foolish and honest streak had not changed at all!
“Is her brain flooded?”
This made Liu Haoyu so angry that he almost overheated.
“Or is she saving the copper coin for the New Year?”
“Let’s go save her quickly.”
The Black Book could only spread its hands, indicating its helplessness.
“Where is she approximately?”
“In the corridor leading from the second floor to the first floor.”
After receiving the Black Book’s instructions, Liu Haoyu rushed over immediately.
The entrance to the basement on the first floor was a certain distance from the staircase leading to the second floor.
But with Liu Haoyu’s full sprint, he reached the staircase on the first floor in just a few seconds.
At this moment, a loud noise forced Liu Haoyu to stop.
He clearly saw that the chandelier in the living room on the third floor had directly pierced through two floors of the ceiling and landed not far from him.
And it was precisely because of the chandelier falling that Liu Haoyu finally determined Qin Liu’s location.
Seeing the ferocious and terrifying fierce ghost, the little loli’s face turned pale, and then she turned and ran back.
But with her exhausted speed, how could she outrun the clone of the Night Walker?
So Liu Haoyu naturally took out a talisman and aimed it at Qin Liu.
At this moment, Qin Liu seemed to realize that she couldn’t break through with her own abilities, so she threw the copper coin on the ground.
At the same moment, Liu Haoyu unleashed a Zhenlei Talisman, blasting open the stairs beneath her. The petite girl was then firmly caught by Liu Haoyu in a princess carry.
“Ah…”
Qin Liu, held in his arms, was stunned for a moment, and then a blush seemed to appear on her pale face.
She turned her face away and mumbled something, seemingly a little shy.
However, because her voice was too soft, and the two people fighting nearby were too noisy, Liu Haoyu did not hear her.
