Chapter 59 See you in the future
Looking at the scene before her, Qin Liu’s fingers dug deeply into her palm.
She could clearly see that half of Liu Haoyu’s body was charred black, and because of this, the severed arm no longer bled.
“What the hell are you!”
Gu Qianyang held his injured left eye with his left hand, and the hand holding the talisman trembled violently.
Besides anger, he also felt extreme disbelief.
“It’s impossible for a living person…”
“Nothing is impossible.”
Liu Haoyu propped up half of his body, trying to stand up again, but he failed multiple times.
He could only rely on the peach wood sword left by his father to support his body and prevent himself from falling.
“Even if I go to hell,” Liu Haoyu raised his head, his icy gaze sweeping over everyone, and said in a hoarse voice, “I will take all of you… with me.”
One against five, and all equally matched opponents.
Liu Haoyu had already done his best, but even so, he could only rely on sneak attacks to blind Gu Qianyang’s other eye at most.
If only the attack had been a little more accurate…
The surrounding eerie blue flames continued to burn, and Gu Qianyang’s anger gradually subsided.
He guessed that the man before him had reached his limit, and he would not have a chance to counterattack.
And such a powerful spiritual body, such a tenacious will, if it could be used to refine a fierce ghost, it would surely be an extremely powerful existence.
With that said, Gu Qianyang tightened his grip on the peach wood sword and slowly walked towards the man before him.
“Old man, be careful,” the Nekomata’s vertical pupils continued to stare at Liu Haoyu: “This guy might have a plan.”
As a monster, her perception was naturally the strongest among them.
After hearing the Nekomata’s words, Gu Qianyang immediately stopped ten meters away from Liu Haoyu.
Looking at this cautious old bastard, Liu Haoyu secretly lamented.
But at that moment, his gaze, which had been fighting to the death, suddenly turned shocked.
Because behind the charred tree not far away stood a familiar person.
Looking at the girl with red eyes who wanted to come out but was held back by the black book, Liu Haoyu was stunned.
Qin Liu?
Why was she here?
“Pfft!”
But even such a brief moment of daze was fatal in combat.
Gu Qianyang, who was battle-hardened, could not miss this opportunity. Three copper coins instantly shot from his hand and, like bullets, left three bloody holes in Liu Haoyu’s body.
Seeing this, Qin Liu behind the tree struggled incessantly, her eyes red. If it weren’t for the black book’s obstruction, this little one might have gone berserk.
Even with his body pierced and scorched, adrenaline brought Liu Haoyu’s focus back.
Looking at the Nekomata and Gu Qianyang approaching him, Liu Haoyu knew he was going to die.
So, realizing this, he raised his head again and looked in Qin Liu’s direction.
“Catch him, he can’t resist anymore.”
As soon as Gu Qianyang finished speaking, the Nekomata suddenly let out a piercing howl, its charred tail standing straight, and it said to Gu Qianyang.
“Step back!”
Gu Qianyang, who was still immersed in the joy of capturing prey, only then saw that Liu Haoyu’s body suddenly emitted an abnormal red light.
It was as if lava was flowing beneath his skin.
He was going to self-destruct!?
This made Gu Qianyang instantly retreat tens of meters.
And Liu Haoyu cast one last glance in Qin Liu’s direction, thinking that after Gu Mingyuan’s death, Qin Liu was also safe.
A relieved smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However, looking at the little girl who was about to cry, Liu Haoyu’s dry lips couldn’t help but move.
Through lip-reading, Qin Liu clearly understood what Liu Haoyu had said.
There were only three words.
“See you in the future.”
Before Qin Liu could say anything, the black book instantly protected her and said.
“Crouch down!”
“Boom!!”
Before the black book could finish speaking, a deafening explosion sounded, and a blinding white light instantly engulfed the entire world.
The black book tightly wrapped Qin Liu, blocking the shockwave of the explosion.
When the white light subsided, through the gaps in the black book, Qin Liu saw a devastated scene.
Gu Qianyang’s Taoist robe was torn to shreds, and not a single hair on the Nekomata was intact.
As for the remaining three ghost exorcists, they were all severely injured and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
“He’s dead.”
Looking at the crater not far away, the black book said after a long silence.
“I should go back too.”
Its words carried an unspeakable sense of loss. Carrying the yellowed paper that Liu Haoyu had entrusted to it, the black book slowly turned around.
“You are safe now, but it is far from time for your revenge.”
“Take the knowledge and things that guy left for you.”
“Quietly await the opportune moment that belongs to you.”
After saying that, the black book’s figure began to disappear bit by bit.
It looked quite lonely.
Long after it left, Qin Liu remained frozen in place, motionless.
Suppressing the pain in her heart, she raised her head again and looked at the five people not far away. Her hollow, cold gaze showed no emotion.
Then she turned and left, returning to the warehouse.
And tied herself up with a rope.
Not long after, the military police found her and handed her over to Gu Qianyang.
As Liu Haoyu had predicted, although she was locked in that bedroom again.
She was safe.
But at the same time… she was becoming extremely dangerous.
Time flew by, and confined in this place, Qin Liu had long lost the concept of time.
After an unknown period, the bedroom door was knocked again.
Hearing the sound, Qin Liu immediately set the well-worn experiment notebook ablaze, her eyes empty as she looked towards the door.
The door slowly opened, and an unfamiliar butler stood there.
“Miss, young master wants you to go to the basement.”
—–
On the other side, as Liu Haoyu turned into white ashes, he was constantly sinking in the darkness.
He clearly felt that he was dead, and he had expected this.
Surrounded by impenetrable darkness, he could see nothing even with his eyes open.
Once upon a time, he feared nothing and felt nothing about death, even thinking it didn’t matter if he died.
But now… he didn’t want to die.
Death, to him now, was perhaps the most terrifying thing.
It meant nothingness, it meant blankness, it meant that he was about to lose everything.
His friends, his brothers, and… Qin Liu.
Everything he cared about would be gone forever.
But it was fate, he couldn’t change anything. He had saved Qin Liu, and he had no regrets. He hoped the black book could take the method to activate the black coffin and bring Qin Liu back…
In this endless fall, Liu Haoyu slowly closed his eyes.
And at this moment, in the darkness, a slender and soft hand firmly grasped him.
The voice that echoed in his ears was not only filled with anger but also with deep joy.
“Did I say you could die?”
