Chapter 27 Blood Everywhere
Qin Liu kept staring vigilantly at Gu Qianyang with her peripheral vision.
Seeing the old man’s gaze sweeping around the room, she directly asked:
“What are you looking for?”
Upon hearing Qin Liu’s question, Gu Qianyang retracted his gaze and focused on the little loli in front of him.
He tried to find any clues from her expression, but Qin Liu’s acting skills made it impossible for him to discern anything.
Having no other choice, Gu Qianyang decided to find another method.
He took out a talisman from his pocket and placed it on the corpse’s head.
The viscous blood quickly soaked through the talisman. He held the talisman in his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Since he was facing away from Qin Liu, she couldn’t see any reaction from the talisman in his hand.
Before Qin Liu could get a better look, the talisman in Gu Qianyang’s hand ignited and quickly turned to ashes.
“Nekomata, let’s go.”
Gu Qianyang walked towards the room’s doorway. As he was about to leave the room, he continued:
“The corpse in the room will be handled by a servant later.”
After speaking, he didn’t care what Qin Liu thought and locked the room door again.
After the door was closed, the smell of the decaying corpse became even stronger.
Liu Haoyu also came out of the darkness at this moment. Qin Liu quickly walked over and asked the man in front of her:
“Did he find you?”
Facing Qin Liu’s question, Liu Haoyu pondered for a moment.
“He shouldn’t know my location, but he definitely knows I’ve entered this house.”
Leaving an anchor meant leaving traces here.
Given Gu Qianyang’s strength, it was impossible for him to not sense anything.
——————–
Outside the room, Gu Qianyang mumbled to himself.
“The ghost exorcism barrier set up in the mansion is intact.”
“This means…”
Hearing this, Nekomata’s tails stiffened, and she said with a serious expression:
“Could it be the Night Walker?”
Being able to pass through the barrier without any warning was not something ordinary lonely souls could do.
Therefore, Nekomata naturally suspected the Night Walker.
But Gu Qianyang shook his head. He walked ahead and said in a low, hoarse voice:
“If it were the Night Walker, Qin Liu would surely have died in the room by now.”
“So it’s very likely another powerful fierce ghost.”
Hearing Gu Qianyang say this, Nekomata couldn’t help but show a hint of interest.
“Oh? Very strong? Compared to you?”
“Probably not as strong as me.”
Gu Qianyang closed his eyes, recalling the aura he had sensed from the talisman that had burned.
“But it’s definitely not to be underestimated.”
“However, why would this hidden fierce ghost save Qin Liu?”
Gu Qianyang was also a little confused about this question.
He kept thinking of various possibilities in his mind but couldn’t come up with any answers.
The only two people related to Qin Liu had long since been sunk into the Cangjiang River.
Even if these two people turned into fierce ghosts, or even merged into one, it would be almost impossible to find Qin Liu’s location.
But Gu Qianyang also didn’t believe that any kind-hearted lonely ghosts would choose to help…
Nekomata seemed to understand Gu Qianyang’s guess, and she said leisurely:
“Oh? Have this little one’s birth parents shown up?”
“But didn’t you say that those two have already been transcended by you? How could they show up?”
To this, Gu Qianyang shook his head and said:
“Don’t underestimate human obsession.”
With that, Gu Qianyang walked towards the direction of the pharmacy.
Nekomata followed behind him.
The two walked one after another and soon arrived at the pharmacy.
Looking at the mess inside, even Gu Qianyang couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Nekomata, with her keen sense of smell, couldn’t help but pinch her nose and say:
“Damn it, what did Gu Mingyuan do in the pharmacy? Why does it stink so much?”
Gu Qianyang’s expression remained unchanged as he walked into the pharmacy.
His shoes stepped into the viscous blood, and the glass on the floor was shattered into pieces.
The sound of breaking glass was exceptionally harsh in the deathly silent pharmacy.
“This aura…”
Gu Qianyang took out a bronze compass from his pocket.
The pointer on it was spinning rapidly.
“It’s the Night Walker.”
Nekomata also understood something at this moment. She flicked out her claws and vigilantly scanned every corner of the room.
Gu Qianyang was also fully prepared for a fight. The Night Walker was very strong, and even facing a clone, one could easily lose their life if not careful.
But the two couldn’t back down. The Night Walker’s target was Qin Liu. If it succeeded in killing Qin Liu, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
At this moment, the two dared not let down their guard. Looking at the half-open iron door of the storage room, they couldn’t help but hold their breath.
Gu Qianyang reached out and placed his hand on the ice-cold iron door.
With a gentle push, soon… the iron door let out a “creak” and was slowly pushed open by Gu Qianyang.
An extremely dense aura hit both their faces. The bronze compass spun even faster, like an electric fan, constantly emitting a “buzzing” sound.
The iron door was opened a crack, and Gu Qianyang looked into the storage room.
Blood…
Blood everywhere.
But besides the blood and human parts all over the floor, they saw no demons or monsters.
“Is there no one?”
Nekomata licked her claws, having already prepared for a fight.
However, Gu Qianyang shook his head and stepped into the storage room first.
Compared to the outside, it was even more chaotic inside. The blood splattered everywhere made the place look like a slaughterhouse.
No one knew if this blood belonged to Gu Mingyuan, the maid, or perhaps… something else?
Gu Qianyang took out a candle.
This was a candle that could sense ghosts. The moment he took it out, the wick instantly ignited with a faint blue flame.
The candlelight illuminated a radius of about three meters around the two of them.
But the areas not illuminated appeared even darker.
The eerie blue light cast a somewhat terrifying glow on their faces.
“To be honest…” Nekomata stroked her slightly bristling tail and clicked her tongue, “I regret coming in.”
Normally, in such a small space, talking wouldn’t create an echo.
But for some reason, Nekomata seemed to hear an echo of her own words…
It was as if something was repeating her words.
This made the already grim storage room even more unsettling.
Gu Qianyang held the candle and walked ahead, with Nekomata following behind.
After a few steps along the bloodstains, they saw a large pool of viscous, disgusting blood.
It was as if someone had exploded to death here.
However, the problem was… with such a large pool of blood, why couldn’t they see a corpse?
There was no body in the pharmacy, nor in the storage room…
Where did the maid’s corpse go?
