Chapter 29 Mirror Person
I don’t know how much time had passed.
In the quiet, dead-silent room, Qin Liu’s light snores were very calm.
Holding Liu Haoyu’s hand, she slept soundly.
Being confined to a room for many years, the sense of loneliness was very difficult for her.
So when she held Liu Haoyu’s hand, she truly felt a long-lost warmth.
It was like being locked in a cage and driven crazy, only to meet someone who could pull you out.
Or it was like the warmth felt upon seeing family after drifting alone for many years.
At Liu Haoyu’s request, she no longer actively read others’ memories, but even so, she still held a strong trust in Liu Haoyu.
Perhaps it was due to her good-natured personality, or perhaps the dependence developed from long-term imprisonment.
But whatever the reason, she was currently very secure and relaxed.
“Mmm…”
I don’t know how much time had passed. In her sleep, she felt a dull ache in her lower abdomen.
Yawning and groggily opening her eyes, she found Liu Haoyu still sitting on the edge of the bed, his back to her, staring at something.
“Liu Haoyu…”
Qin Liu softly murmured, causing the man to turn his head to look and ask.
“What’s wrong?”
“That…”
Seeing Liu Haoyu looking a bit confused, Qin Liu’s face turned slightly red as she said quietly.
“I need to go to the restroom.”
Although her voice was very soft, in the quiet room, it sounded exceptionally clear.
Liu Haoyu naturally didn’t say much, only saying to her.
“Go ahead.”
However, even after saying this, Qin Liu still kept her head down. Her peripheral vision once again landed on the corpse lying on the floor.
Looking at the blood splattered all over the ground, the head split in two, the bloodstains had dried and solidified into a dark red substance on the ground.
Its eyes were wide open and seemed to bulge out slightly, appearing particularly terrifying.
Just a glance from her peripheral vision made Qin Liu’s body tremble slightly.
In the 1980s, even for wealthy families, toilets were still rudimentary facilities outside the main house.
Because Qin Liu was confined to the room and couldn’t go out, there was a small toilet installed.
But precisely because it was so small, there was no light inside.
If it were any other time, Qin Liu would have dared to go alone.
But in the current situation… would she dare?
She absolutely dared not!
“This… that…”
Qin Liu’s voice was a bit shy, her voice as weak as a mosquito’s hum, a trace of blush on her face, but upon seeing the corpse on the ground, it instantly turned a few shades paler.
Perhaps fear had taken over, and she said with a trembling voice.
“I… I want to go to the bathroom…”
Regarding Qin Liu’s request, Liu Haoyu looked at the corpse on the ground. The corpse still carried a faint aura of resentment.
But after watching for so long, it hadn’t made any movement. It should be fine… right?
As Liu Haoyu pondered, Qin Liu seemed unable to hold it any longer.
She lifted the covers and tightly gripped Liu Haoyu’s hand.
“Can… can you come with me?”
“Sure.”
Liu Haoyu didn’t think much and nodded.
Holding Qin Liu’s hand, since there was no light in the room, it was very dark.
Even if Liu Haoyu brought a candle, it was of no use.
The toilet was located in the corner of the room, which was even darker than the room.
Even the candle in his hand seemed unable to dispel the darkness here.
“Go in, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Liu Haoyu let go of Qin Liu’s hand, but this little one, looking at the pitch-black toilet inside, hesitated to step forward.
“What’s wrong?”
“I… I’m scared…”
As she said this, even Qin Liu felt a little embarrassed.
After all, she had lived two lifetimes. Saying such a thing made her face burn with heat.
But there was no other way, she was truly afraid of ghosts!
Especially since ghosts genuinely existed in this world. Anyone wouldn’t dare to enter this toilet, right!
“Alright…” Liu Haoyu glanced back at the corpse on the ground again and said, “I’ll turn my back to you, and don’t lock the door. Is that okay?”
After saying that, Liu Haoyu turned around, his gaze intently fixed on the corpse on the ground.
However… the mirror over there seemed to be able to see Qin Liu behind him?
Liu Haoyu’s gaze involuntarily drifted to the mirror.
Although the mirror was a bit blurry, it was enough to reflect the scene inside the toilet behind him.
See no evil, see no evil…
But while he thought that, his gaze kept darting to the mirror.
At this moment, Qin Liu slowly lowered her nightgown, and the dim candlelight outlined those two round curves.
Sin, how sinful…
Liu Haoyu wanted to look away, but a strange feeling made him stare fixedly in the direction of the mirror.
The dripping sound behind continued, indicating that Qin Liu had been holding it for quite a while.
And perhaps because she couldn’t see Liu Haoyu’s face, Qin Liu asked the man’s back in front of her.
“Liu Haoyu, are you there?”
“Of course, I am.”
“Are you really not some ghost in disguise?”
“Can I turn around to prove I’m not a ghost?”
“Then never mind.”
The conversation between the two eased Qin Liu’s nervous mood considerably.
Meanwhile, Liu Haoyu’s gaze remained fixed on the mirror.
For some reason, he vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
If he had to say…
Qin Liu in the mirror moved stiffly, like a wooden puppet with rusty joints, and her squatting posture was also a bit strange…
The dripping water sound behind continued, and at this moment, Liu Haoyu finally discovered what was wrong.
In the mirror, at Qin Liu’s feet, there were no water stains at all…
Seeing this, a cold sweat broke out on the back of Liu Haoyu’s neck. He slightly turned his head and glanced at Qin Liu behind him with his peripheral vision.
In the candlelight, she was still maintaining her posture of using the toilet. Although her expression was a little flushed, she was quite relaxed, not in the extremely stiff state seen in the mirror.
What was going on?
“Hey!”
Qin Liu, with her keen senses, immediately noticed the gaze on her. She clasped her legs together, covered her private parts with her hands, and said indignantly.
“Did you peek!”
“No.”
Liu Haoyu immediately withdrew his peripheral vision and looked back at the mirror.
However, this time as his eyes met the mirror, the little loli in the mirror also met Liu Haoyu’s gaze.
Liu Haoyu thought he had been discovered by Qin Liu, so he coughed lightly and was about to explain.
“Ahem, I didn’t mean to peek into the mirror…”
However, before he could look away, the corner of Qin Liu’s mouth in the mirror slowly split, all the way to her teeth. Her terrifying vertical pupils seemed to be sneering at something.
