Chapter 57: Beautiful Beyond Humanlikeness
Meanwhile, watching Li Rongjun flee in panic, Qin Liu couldn’t help but scratch her head.
“Is he that scared?”
This little ghost couldn’t understand what Li Rongjun was trying to achieve by going upstairs.
Wouldn’t it be better to just leave through the main door obediently?
“Speaking of which, don’t you think your outfit is a bit too scary?”
Qin Liu had always wanted to complain about Liu Haoyu’s meal-like appearance. Putting aside everything else, just by looking at his attire, no one would think he was a good person.
But Liu Haoyu didn’t say anything, just casually flicked the blood off his axe.
“This is what safety looks like.”
To this, Qin Liu could only give the man a speechless glance.
Liu Haoyu shrugged and said, “Weren’t you following me? When I turned around… never mind, even if I turned around, I wouldn’t be able to see you.”
Due to Liu Haoyu’s spiritual sight issues, he couldn’t see this little ghost even under normal circumstances.
Although he had seen her once before, he didn’t know how he managed it.
Liu Haoyu still had no clue.
“What were those two screams just now?”
“I encountered the mistress of the house and killed her. It’s as simple as that.”
Liu Haoyu casually recounted his recent experience.
Just a short sentence was enough to prove his strength, which scared Qin Liu into taking a step back.
“With the fire axe in your hand?”
“What else?”
Liu Haoyu wiped the blood off the axe and turned to walk into the room.
“However, after killing that ghost, a shadow emerged from her body, and I need to find it.”
“Wait for me!”
Qin Liu quickly followed behind him. This time, she couldn’t lose him.
However, Liu Haoyu didn’t go anywhere specific. He directly entered the room and looked at the headless corpse on the ground.
This was Zhu Xingxue’s wife.
Due to long-term abuse and domestic violence, she had already gone completely mad before her death.
After her son summoned the Pen Spirit, the Pen Spirit possessed her body, devoured her consciousness, and transformed into a bloodthirsty fierce ghost.
It was she who killed her entire family.
The two university students who broke into the haunted house also couldn’t escape.
Now, she was finally dead.
Qin Liu looked at the gruesome black shadow on the ground, a little scared and fearful.
There were five or six fresh wounds on this corpse.
Judging from these wounds, she must have been hacked to death by Liu Haoyu.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but shrink back and say.
“Why does this feel different from my impression of ghost exorcism methods…”
“This is more efficient. Anyway, just stick a talisman on the axe, go up, and chop. Most ghosts would instinctively run away when they see this.”
“…”
What he said wasn’t wrong. Let alone ghosts, even a person would be scared if someone rushed at them with an axe.
“Speaking of which… when I met those two police officers earlier, I heard them talking about a red iron door or something.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Haoyu froze.
His expression turned serious, and he took a deep breath.
“You saw it too?”
Liu Haoyu knew that the door was anything but simple. He assumed it wanted to kill those two police officers, but Qin Liu had stopped it.
He thought Qin Liu must have seen it too.
However, to Liu Haoyu’s surprise, Qin Liu just shook her head: “It was the middle-aged police officer who told me he saw a red iron door, but I searched for a long time and couldn’t find it…”
“Take me there.”
Seeing is believing.
Liu Haoyu decided to go and investigate himself.
“Okay.”
Qin Liu was unaware of the dangers of the red iron door. She simply thought that finding the door would seal the grudge of the haunted house.
But Liu Haoyu knew that, based on what Old Deng had said, that door could kill people.
Even powerful ghost exorcists couldn’t escape death in front of it, let alone two ordinary police officers.
If they didn’t act quickly, the two of them might also commit suicide for inexplicable reasons.
Led by Qin Liu, Liu Haoyu soon arrived at the location where Qin Liu and the two officers had met.
“It’s here,” even though Liu Haoyu couldn’t see her, Qin Liu still pointed at the wall and said, “The middle-aged police officer at that time kept walking towards this wall, as if he was going to crash into it and commit suicide.”
“I understand.”
Liu Haoyu became extremely vigilant in his mind, gripping the Zhenlei Talisman tightly, and slowly approaching the wall.
However, even when Liu Haoyu placed his hand on the wall, nothing happened.
This looked like just an ordinary wall.
Perhaps that door had already left.
Why would it leave?
Liu Haoyu fell into deep thought, simultaneously trying to locate Qin Liu.
Liu Haoyu had discovered something a long time ago.
Although Qin Liu seemed a bit timid, anything related to the supernatural, whether it was the Black Book or lonely ghosts by the roadside, would show extreme fear when encountering Qin Liu.
It was as if Qin Liu were a monstrous beast that could devour people.
Combined with her incredibly strong power…
Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but close his eyes and ponder.
What exactly was Qin Liu’s identity?
As Liu Haoyu closed his eyes in thought, a blood-red door began to appear in his mind.
The door was getting closer and closer to him… closer and closer…
Until a pale, withered branch-like hand stretched out from inside.
The door slowly opened a crack, and in the next second, an aged face full of wrinkles poked out.
It was Old Wang’s face!
At this moment, the man in his fifties revealed a smile that was utterly unhumanlike.
He smiled, his eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed together, and his eyes widened.
The sight alone was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
The old man extended his hand, trying to grab Liu Haoyu…
Liu Haoyu opened his eyes again.
It was at this moment that he realized his back was already soaked with sweat.
Someone had shaken him awake.
Recalling the horrific scene, which was so real, made Liu Haoyu feel a sense of relief.
If he had woken up a second later… the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Are you okay? You closed your eyes and didn’t say anything just now, I thought you had fallen asleep.”
“No, I was just lost in thought.”
Liu Haoyu said as he raised his head.
However, at this moment, he discovered a girl as delicate as a porcelain doll floating before his eyes.
Her face was not covered by a red veil, and her gem-like eyes were looking at him with confusion.
Liu Haoyu found it difficult to describe the feeling of seeing Qin Liu’s true face.
If he had to describe it most directly, it was…
Beautiful beyond humanlikeness.
