Chapter 30
After seeing the terrifying existence in the mirror, waves of coldness instantly enveloped Liu Haoyu’s entire body. He subconsciously glanced at his back again with his peripheral vision. At this time, Qin Liu had already tidied up her dress. Her face was a little flushed, and she didn’t seem to have noticed the anomaly in the mirror. “Are you ready?” Liu Haoyu couldn’t be sure if it was Qin Liu behind him. Because he hadn’t forgotten something. If you make eye contact with the Night Walker, you might be drawn into a terrifying illusion. So, even Liu Haoyu couldn’t guarantee whether Qin Liu was still standing behind him. “Yes, I’m ready,” Qin Liu said in a faint voice. “Thank you…” “You’re welcome.” It was difficult to determine if the other party was an illusion based on just these few words. So Liu Haoyu pretended not to know anything and said to Qin Liu, “It’s not dawn yet, let’s sleep more.” With that, he took Qin Liu back to the bed. Even when Qin Liu lay on the bed, the blush on her face did not fade at all. She covered half of her face with the quilt and then weakly asked Liu Haoyu, “Um… aren’t you going to sleep?” Qin Liu knew that Liu Haoyu was not a ghost, so he also needed to sleep. She had secretly looked at the man’s sleeping face before. But he slept very lightly, and woke up before she could even look at him a few more times. However, it was not the time to care about this now. “You haven’t slept for a long time, have you?” “No, I’m not sleepy yet.” Liu Haoyu shook his head. “You’re lying.” Unfortunately, Qin Liu could see through his lie. Just three words made Liu Haoyu a little embarrassed. However, even if he was exposed, for Liu Haoyu, who was thick-skinned, it was naturally nothing. Seeing Qin Liu with a flushed face, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but tease, “I want to sleep but I have no bed, are you suggesting I squeeze in with you?” “Dream on!” It was obvious that Qin Liu didn’t want Liu Haoyu to climb into her bed. But as soon as she said it, she felt a little embarrassed and then added, “Men and women should not touch each other.” “I know, I know.” Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but rub Qin Liu’s hair. “Go to sleep quickly.” After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the mirror. Seeing Liu Haoyu leave, Qin Liu asked, “Where are you going?” “Where else can I go? To the restroom.” “This…” Qin Liu looked at Liu Haoyu’s retreating back and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “You weren’t going just now…” She didn’t close her eyes and sleep directly because she couldn’t sleep. So she wanted to see what Liu Haoyu was going to do. Under her gaze, Liu Haoyu walked to the mirror and examined it carefully. When looking at the mirror, Liu Haoyu was fully prepared. If something appeared in the mirror, he wouldn’t mind smashing it with an axe. However, the mirror, which had a supernatural event earlier, was now empty. Moreover, the mirror was covered with dust, and it was difficult to see his reflection from such a close distance, let alone from such a distance before. So, the person he saw in the mirror before… was it the Night Walker who had infiltrated this mansion? While Liu Haoyu was thinking, Qin Liu couldn’t hold back her confusion and asked, “What are you looking at?” “Earlier, I thought there was something in the mirror…” Qin Liu, whose tension and fear had eased a lot, immediately tensed up as soon as she heard this. “You… you’re not scaring me, are you?” The little loli’s voice trembled slightly. Liu Haoyu did not answer. He just continued to look at the mirror silently, holding the candle in his hand. If there were ghosts and monsters, the candle would ignite. But now the candle was quiet, with no reaction. Liu Haoyu’s fingers gently brushed the mirror surface, wiping away the dust bit by bit. The dark clouds outside dispersed, and the moonlight shone into the room. Liu Haoyu could now clearly see his reflection and was making the same movements as him. “Hoo…” The man breathed a sigh of relief, then held out one hand. Rock paper scissors… Liu Haoyu threw out paper, but the person in the mirror threw out… a fist. “I can tell at a glance that you’re not human!” Liu Haoyu picked up the axe without a word and swung it at the mirror. However, at the moment the axe blade touched the mirror, the mirror surface suddenly rippled. As if a stone had been thrown into the water, under the ripples, the face of himself in the mirror began to distort, and his mouth gradually curved upwards until it formed a chilling smile. “Don’t look in the mirror!” Liu Haoyu knew the Night Walker’s abilities, but Qin Liu didn’t. Fortunately, the reminder was timely enough, and Qin Liu reacted quickly. After she closed her eyes, the entire world turned into darkness. But perhaps because Liu Haoyu was too close to the mirror, he wanted to close his eyes but found that his eyelids were glued as if with glue, and he couldn’t press them down no matter how hard he tried. The “self” in the mirror was still smiling, and Liu Haoyu’s gaze couldn’t be moved away from him. But that didn’t mean he had completely lost the ability to resist. The fierce ghost hiding in the room was not the main body of the Night Walker, so… it could be fought! But in order not to alert the people in the house, Liu Haoyu had no intention of using the Zhenlei Talisman. Instead, he affixed a talisman paper to the fire axe. Blue flames instantly enveloped the entire axe blade. Liu Haoyu’s gaze was sharp, and he swung at the mirror. However, the “self” in the mirror suddenly reached out a pale hand and grabbed Liu Haoyu’s wrist. The strength was incredibly great, and the two were wrestling for the blood-stained fire axe. But unfortunately, the monster in the mirror was very strong. Not only could Liu Haoyu not get the fire axe back, but he was also gradually being pulled into the mirror by the other party. “Damn it!” Liu Haoyu knew this wouldn’t do, but his hands were struggling with this monster for the fire axe. Unless he abandoned the fire axe, there was no good way. Just as Liu Haoyu was about to give up the fire axe and prepare to use the talisman, a lightning bolt from nowhere directly struck the pale ghost hand. Liu Haoyu was able to break free from the ghost hand’s restraint, but the question was, who threw this lightning bolt?! With the doubt in his heart, Liu Haoyu looked behind him and saw that Qin Liu was holding a spell, with faint smoke coming from her fingertips. This showed that the lightning bolt was indeed unleashed by her, and it undeniably helped him. But the重點 was not this! She had opened her eyes, which meant… Liu Haoyu immediately looked towards the mirror. As expected, the person in the mirror began to change little by little until… it turned into Qin Liu’s appearance.
