Chapter 31: A Small Request
Liu Haoyu didn’t even have time to marvel at Qin Liu’s terrifying talent. The moment he saw the change in the mirror, he didn’t say a word and immediately stood in front of Qin Liu.
He tried to block Qin Liu’s view.
But it was too late. Even though Liu Haoyu stood in front, the scene in the mirror didn’t change at all.
The reflection of Qin Liu in the mirror had an expression that was neither crying nor smiling. She just looked at Liu Haoyu motionlessly.
“Wuuu…”
Accompanying a strange cry, a circle of blue-purple handprints slowly appeared on the neck of the person in the mirror.
“Ugh!”
Even worse, Qin Liu behind Liu Haoyu let out a muffled sound of pain.
Liu Haoyu glanced back out of the corner of his eye. He saw that Qin Liu’s face was flushed red, as if something was desperately strangling her neck. She was in pain, with her mouth open, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu didn’t dare to delay. He immediately took out a Zhenlei Talisman.
Now was not the time to worry about whether his whereabouts were exposed!
“Die for me!”
Several Zhenlei Talismans were thrown fiercely at the mirror.
The explosive thunder instantly shattered the mirror into pieces.
A dense aura of resentment surged out of the mirror and filled the room.
“Are you alright?”
“Cough cough cough!!”
His response was a series of violent coughs. Qin Liu couldn’t speak, but she waved her hand at him, signaling that she was fine.
“The resentment here is very strong. We need to leave.”
Liu Haoyu wasn’t thinking much at the moment. If they stayed in this room any longer, Qin Liu’s body definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.
So, without another word, he picked up Qin Liu’s body and leaped from the third floor.
Thanks to the effect of the talismans and the strong physique of a sports student, Liu Haoyu didn’t fall when he jumped. Instead, he landed very steadily on the ground.
“Cough cough cough…” Qin Liu finally recovered. She asked Liu Haoyu, “Making such a big commotion… what about the people in the house?”
In response to this question, Liu Haoyu surveyed the surroundings and replied.
“We were likely pulled into the world within the mirror. Naturally, there won’t be anyone else in this house.”
“I see.”
When Qin Liu lay back on the bed, she had already sensed an unusual smell. Perhaps it was from that moment that they were pulled into the world within the mirror?
“And…”
Qin Liu, who was cradled by Liu Haoyu in a princess carry, felt her face heat up a little. She turned away and whispered.
“Thank you.”
After spending some time with Qin Liu, Liu Haoyu could tell that Qin Liu’s personality was likely that of a good-natured person… Well, there was nothing wrong with such a personality, as long as she wasn’t a martyr.
However, judging from the future Qin Liu, the word “martyr”… seemed to have no connection with her.
It would be more fitting to describe her as a juicer.
“No need for thanks. You’ve saved me many times later on, so consider it repayment.”
“Also, don’t do anything so irrational next time.”
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that at that moment, Liu Haoyu would have preferred the lightning to be from Gu Qianyang rather than Qin Liu.
After all, as long as she closed her eyes, the Night Walker’s abilities wouldn’t affect her.
However, it seemed too late to say anything. Both of them had already been pulled into the illusion.
The current situation was that they had to find a way to escape this place.
“Although it’s an illusion, her main body must be hidden somewhere. As long as we can find it and kill it, we can get out of here.”
What he had to face was not the Night Walker’s main body, but the clone she controlled, so this was not a battle without a chance of winning.
But where was it hidden?
Liu Haoyu thought carefully in his mind.
And from the maids who were searching everywhere earlier, he could infer one thing.
The maid’s corpse was gone.
Perhaps it was all the work of this corpse…
But just as he was thinking, a small hand tugged at his clothes. Liu Haoyu looked down and saw Qin Liu blushing and muttering.
“Can you put me down first?”
“Sure.”
When she said that, Liu Haoyu realized that there was someone in his arms.
It was unavoidable, Qin Liu’s body was truly too light.
Having stayed in the room for many years and not exercising much, the little girl’s physical fitness was indeed not great.
After putting Qin Liu down, facing the mansion, which had no lights and was very grim and strange, the little girl, instead of being afraid, seemed inexplicably happy.
However, this happiness was more like the joy of gaining freedom…
In fact, it was as Liu Haoyu had thought. Years of loneliness had pushed Qin Liu’s mental state to the extreme.
If Liu Haoyu hadn’t arrived, she might have completely gone mad.
Fortunately… she met someone like this, although he was a bit of a shrimp head and also a bit lecherous.
But it had to be admitted, he was very reliable.
Even knowing that this was a false world, even though it was terrifying and eerie, the moment she gained freedom, she couldn’t suppress the happiness in her heart.
Seeing the smile on Qin Liu’s face, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
Even a false illusion could make her show such an expression…
“It might be a bit strange, but can I make a small request?”
Qin Liu scratched her cheek a little guiltily.
Her gaze seemed to be seeking Liu Haoyu’s opinion.
“Go ahead and say it.”
“I… I want to lie on the grass over there for a while.”
Liu Haoyu looked at the somewhat shy Qin Liu and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
It was clear that she also felt that this request was somewhat unreasonable.
After all, this was an illusion, and it was also very dangerous.
However, even though he knew it was a bit dangerous, he couldn’t refuse Qin Liu’s request.
She probably really needed to go out and quietly feel the outside world.
Otherwise, she might really go mad.
Seeing that Liu Haoyu remained silent, Qin Liu thought he was going to refuse, so she could only scratch her cheek and say.
“It’s okay if you can’t…”
“It’s fine. Lying down for a few minutes and looking at the starry sky is no problem,” Liu Haoyu reached out to Qin Liu and said, “But it’s really dangerous here, so please hold my hand.”
Looking at the rough big hand in front of her, Qin Liu fell silent for a moment, then actively took it.
“Thank…”
Before she could speak, Liu Haoyu rubbed her head and replied with a smile.
“Still thanking me?”
This time, Qin Liu closed her mouth. She looked at the smiling man in front of her, wanting to say a lot, but unable to say anything.
After that, the two of them sat on the grass and looked up at the sky.
Whether it was an illusion or reality, it was undeniable that the starry sky tonight was exceptionally clear, and even Liu Haoyu was a little mesmerized for a moment.
In fact, he hadn’t had such a leisurely time in a long time.
The last time he was this leisurely seemed to be when he watched the sunrise with the future Qin Liu?
Just as Liu Haoyu was reminiscing, a pair of slender hands gently hugged his arm.
He turned his head and saw that Qin Liu had fallen asleep at some point.
Could this little girl really fall asleep in such a dangerous place?
Liu Haoyu was a little amused and exasperated.
