Chapter 24: Only the Night Walker
Perhaps seeing that Qin Liu was not cooperating, the Night Walker had to regretfully give up.
“I didn’t expect this little guy to be so vigilant.”
“I think you’re a toad trying to eat swan meat.”
Qin Liu quietly hid behind Liu Haoyu.
For her, the feeling of a girl sticking close to her wasn’t bad.
But the problem was that if someone with drool and sparkling eyes rushed over, anyone would be scared.
“Alright, alright…”
Liu Haoyu held his forehead, appearing to have a headache.
Even the Black Book couldn’t help but tease.
“I told you you have good luck with girls, kid.”
“But I don’t want luck with girls, thank you.”
Liu Haoyu was now not interested in anyone other than Qin Liu.
He wanted to save the older Qin Liu quickly rather than all these trivial matters.
Since he was an eyewitness from back then, Liu Haoyu naturally had to ask the Night Walker some questions about Qin Liu.
The most important among them was, of course, the formation that maintained life in the Black Coffin.
He was eager to get his hands on it.
“Do you know the formation that maintains life on the Black Coffin?”
“If I knew this, Little Youtan wouldn’t have brought you to this place, would she?”
Hearing the Night Walker’s words, Liu Haoyu gradually calmed down.
Indeed, if the Night Walker really knew, the Black Book wouldn’t have sent him back here.
This meant he still had to wait?
But when would he have to wait until?
The research on formations easily took years to start, not to mention that, as the Black Book had said before, it was Little Qin Liu who perfected this life-sustaining formation before the seal…
“Don’t be anxious, young man.”
The Night Walker patted Liu Haoyu’s shoulder and said.
“Besides, you only need to get the activation method, don’t you? You don’t need to wait that long at all.”
Hearing what the Night Walker said, Liu Haoyu immediately reacted.
He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
He had indeed been a bit confused by worry just now.
Come to think of it, it really wasn’t that troublesome.
He already knew who researched the life-sustaining formation, which was Gu Mingyuan.
He only needed to start with this person to get what he wanted.
“But even if you don’t know the life-sustaining formation, you should know the formation that seals yourself, right?”
“Of course I know that.”
The Night Walker puffed out her ample chest, proudly and with a hint of longing, saying.
“What’s wrong? Are you planning to have me teach Little Qin Liu?”
The Night Walker’s face was almost touching Liu Haoyu’s. The latter extended his hand, pushed the somewhat overly excited girl back, and said.
“Indeed.”
At this moment, Little Qin Liu suddenly felt her sky collapsing.
She widened her eyes and looked at Liu Haoyu in disbelief.
How could he sell out his teammate!
“Cough cough!” Facing Qin Liu’s gaze, Liu Haoyu said somewhat sheepishly, “This… will be helpful for your future.”
The implication was to endure it for now.
“Yay!”
The Night Walker hugged Little Qin Liu, and the latter, at this moment, became a complete dead fish eye.
Even Liu Haoyu suddenly felt that the slap Little Qin Liu would give the Night Walker of this timeline in the future had a bit of personal vendetta.
As for himself, he had to go find Gu Mingyuan to find a way to activate the Black Coffin now.
“As for teaching, I’ll leave it to the Black Book and you, Night Walker, for now.”
“Mhm mhm!”
The Night Walker was already impatient, while the Black Book reached out and grabbed the white-clothed girl’s collar, then sighed.
“I’ll keep an eye on her. You go.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu about to leave, Little Qin Liu quickly stepped forward and asked.
“Where are you going?”
For Little Qin Liu, it was indeed much livelier than before, but this liveliness was brought by Liu Haoyu. If Liu Haoyu left, it would mean she would return to that cold and numb state.
Seeing Little Qin Liu chasing after him, Liu Haoyu reached out and petted her head.
“It’s nothing, I’m just going out for a bit.”
“But in many novels, when this kind of situation appears, it means you might not come back.”
Little Qin Liu stared at Liu Haoyu’s face. The latter was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile.
“If it’s really a novel, then I must be the protagonist. Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
After saying that, Liu Haoyu patted Little Qin Liu’s head and left the room, leaving the little loli standing there blankly, seeming a bit at a loss.

In the woods on the west side of the mansion, Gu Qianyang, dressed in a black daoist robe, stood still.
The cold, gloomy wind made the black robe on him rustle loudly. He had followed the aura all the way here, but at this moment, the bronze compass in his hand showed no reaction.
“The aura has disappeared,” Gu Qianyang tightly clenched the compass with his hands, which were as withered as branches, his gaze cold and strange. “What is going on?”
The Nekomata squatted on a tree branch, her two tails impatiently swatting the tree trunk.
“Could it be the aura left by that Night Walker’s clone from before? It took so much effort to chase them so far.”
“Impossible…”
Gu Qianyang naturally did not believe that the aura was left by the Night Walker’s clone who had trespassed into the mansion before.
After all, he could clearly feel that this aura was too pure, not something that a mad clone could leave behind.
“I want to go back.”
The Nekomata yawned and said.
“To protect your daughter, I haven’t slept well during the day.”
“But I have to say, she’s been very strange recently, as if she’s gone mad, often talking to herself.”
“And I don’t feel any resentment in the room… If you ask me, old man, shouldn’t you tie her up or cripple her? Don’t let this little one go crazy and commit suicide before you even catch the Night Walker.”
To the Nekomata’s words, Gu Qianyang pondered for a long time, then said.
“I am not such a cruel person.”
“Heh heh…”
To this, the Nekomata spat out some saliva, expressing her disdain.
“Come on, you? King Yama is more conscientious than you.”
But at this moment, Gu Qianyang suddenly raised his head, his gaze slowly turned towards the mansion behind him.
At this moment, a terrible thought emerged in his mind.
Could this be the Night Walker’s stratagem to lure the tiger away from home?
And hearing the Nekomata say that Little Qin Liu was indeed talking to someone, and only the Night Walker could do so without being perceived by anyone with resentment.
Gu Qianyang’s expression sank.
He naturally did not want anything to go wrong with the sacrifice. After searching all over the country, the only living sacrifice he found with strong spirit vision and high soul strength was Qin Liu.
If something happened to her, the entire sealing ritual would be in vain!
“Hurry back!”
