Chapter 26 Time Anchor
The moment the axe connected with Gu Mingyuan’s head, viscous yellow and white liquid splattered everywhere.
Under Qin Liu’s terrified gaze, the uninvited guest who had broken into this deep night slowly fell before her.
After the corpse fell, Liu Haoyu’s figure also appeared before Qin Liu.
This little loli, still shaken, seemed to have lost all her strength, slowly sliding to the ground, with cold sweat pouring down her forehead.
It was not an exaggeration to say that this was the closest she had ever been to death, and this feeling of despair made her feel suffocated.
A long silence fell in the room. Liu Haoyu put away the fire axe and extended his hand to Qin Liu, saying.
“Are you okay?”
“I… I’m fine.”
Qin Liu took a breath, her gaze falling on Liu Haoyu.
However, this time, what she saw seemed to be no longer a blurred image, but a real entity.
“Are you trying to die!?”
At that moment, the Black Book’s frantic voice sounded.
“Didn’t I tell you not to make a move?!”
Just like the current situation, once you kill someone.
“Once your anchor is set in this place, it won’t be as simple as going back!”
“You might even stay here forever!”
Hearing the Black Book’s words, Liu Haoyu calmed down.
Indeed, as the Black Book had said, he could now clearly feel his body moving towards becoming a physical entity.
Although he was currently in a semi-spiritual, semi-physical state, he no longer belonged to the spiritual body, so passing through walls was almost impossible.
Although the Black Book’s words were very serious, Liu Haoyu shrugged and said helplessly.
“But if I hadn’t made a move just now, wouldn’t Qin Liu have died for sure?”
Hearing this, the Black Book also fell silent.
Indeed, in the situation just now, if Liu Haoyu hadn’t acted, Qin Liu would have certainly died here.
It tentatively checked the fate of the two, and this time, even Liu Haoyu’s fate had completely turned into a mist.
Unpredictable, uncertain…
Youtan, as the King of Rebirth who peers into reincarnation, felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.
“Fine, I’ll help you think of a way back, but you should go hide immediately, Gu Qianyang is coming back soon.”
“Okay.”
” I’ll set up a phantom for you so that others won’t see your appearance, otherwise, once the anchor is set, you’ll be finished, and even gods can’t save you.”
Hearing the Black Book’s words, Liu Haoyu quickly hid. However, there was no time to deal with the corpse on the ground, so he said to Qin Liu.
“Later, you just say that a black shadow came and killed it, understood?”
“Mm…”
Qin Liu nodded, she had also recovered by now. She reached out and touched Liu Haoyu’s large palm.
This was indeed the touch of a living person, not the cold, Yin feeling of a spiritual body.
“Take care of yourself, I’ll be watching from the shadows.”
With that, Liu Haoyu completely disappeared.
And after nearly two minutes, hurried footsteps could be heard from the corridor, and the sound of something crawling could be heard from the window.
“Tap, tap, tap!!”
As the footsteps grew closer, Gu Qianyang, wearing a black Taoist robe, rushed into the bedroom, accompanied by the Nekomata from outside the window.
One person and one demon, attacking from both sides, directly burst into the bedroom.
But all they saw was a cold corpse covered in blood, and Qin Liu kneeling on the ground, at a loss.
Gu Qianyang retracted the peachwood sword in his hand, then walked to Gu Mingyuan’s side, looking at the corpse with its head split in half, and frowned slightly.
“Dead?”
“Judging by the resentment emanating from this room, Gu Mingyuan was probably killed by the Night Walker, and his corpse was controlled by the Night Walker and broke into Qin Liu’s room, but…”
The Nekomata’s confused gaze swept over Qin Liu, who was kneeling.
“Judging by the spread of blood and the strong smell in the room, this corpse should have entered five minutes ago. How did you survive?”
Facing the Nekomata’s questioning, Gu Qianyang also cast his gaze.
Even though it was just a corpse controlled by the Night Walker, it was definitely not a monster that this child could fight against.
She couldn’t possibly survive five minutes under the pursuit of this monster.
This meant… someone saved her?
Who?
Gu Qianyang narrowed his eyes, and facing the Nekomata’s question, the little loli immediately displayed a strong acting ability.
She clenched her fists, her fingertips digging deeply into her palms, relying on the pain to maintain her composure and clarity.
When she looked up again, her face had already taken on a panicked expression, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Just now… Uncle Gu broke into my room and chased me like he was crazy.”
“I kept dodging, but I was still forced into a corner… Then… then, a black phantom, whose appearance was unclear, rushed into the room and split Uncle Gu’s head in half.”
Little Qin Liu said, then lowered her head again, trembling all over, looking like a little loli who had been scared out of her wits.
However, the Nekomata clearly didn’t care if she was scared or not, and only turned to look at Gu Qianyang.
“What she said is not wrong. There is indeed a strange aura in the room, which is likely left by that black phantom.”
“Black phantom…”
Gu Qianyang frowned. Of course, he could guess what the black phantom mentioned by Qin Liu was.
It was nothing more than a wandering ghost who happened to pass by, or a Taoist who heard Qin Liu’s cry for help.
But no matter which it was, Qin Liu’s life was at least saved.
The question was, how did Gu Mingyuan die before he turned into a ghost?
Gu Qianyang squatted down and carefully examined Gu Mingyuan’s body.
He found that the corpse was covered with countless bite marks, and the fatal wound was a tearing bite on his neck.
The bite was so strong that it even ripped out his throat and windpipe.
Even though his head was split in half after death, it did not conceal the frantic, insane smile.
“Judging by the size of these bite marks, it should have been bitten to death by the corpse of the maid he killed earlier.”
The Nekomata voiced the answer in Gu Qianyang’s mind.
The latter stood up, his gaze sweeping over Qin Liu.
There was still no trace of any spell power. It seemed that a wandering ghost passing by had indeed killed Gu Mingyuan… or had he?
Gu Qianyang frowned slightly.
You must know that this mansion was equipped with a ghost exorcism barrier, so wandering ghosts should not be able to enter this place.
