Concluding Remarks
Phew…
Heeheehee~ Aaaaaaaaah!!!
Another book has been completed!!
Alright, calming down my excited emotions, let me first congratulate this book for a smooth landing, and I also sincerely thank all the readers who have made it this far… Let me see your hands!
Ahem! Back to the main topic.
Honestly, when this book first started, I never imagined it would achieve such results, to the point where I feel like I’m dreaming now, with a sense of illusoriness and unreality.
But every time I open the book’s detail page, that big S-grade is so real.
So, I’m truly grateful to every reader who has read this book.
To be honest, horror is something I would never dare to read normally.
Even watching a cave diving accident would scare me so much that I couldn’t sleep. It’s precisely because of this overly timid personality that I would occasionally jump in fright from small movements while writing this book, especially when I live alone.
I was even more scared to death.
To the point that every time I write this book, I question myself… when I started writing this thing, was I masochistic?
But I persevered and successfully brought this book to a smooth conclusion.
Completed with a million words, an S-grade work, and published as an audiobook…
It’s no exaggeration to say that this book has reached a height I had never achieved before, and it far exceeded my expectations.
But… I did it, I did it all!
The next book will be released on May 4th, when the summer recruitment event begins. The male protagonist will have an investigator background… as for the female protagonist, I’ll keep it a secret for now to leave some surprise.
I hope all readers will come and support it then!
Also, on May 4th, there will be an epilogue about the two getting married~
Finally, thank you to my editor! Thank you to all the readers! Thank you everyone!!
Epilogue
Epilogue ①
“Today is your birthday.”
In the hospital, beige light shone on the white hospital bed. The young girl on the bed sat up halfway and took the birthday cake handed over by the man.
“Happy birthday, Qin Liu.”
The young girl looked at the cake in her hand. The cake wasn’t very big, with a few candles on it, making it look a bit simple. However, there was no dissatisfaction on the girl’s face, only a warm smile.
“We’ve been married for so many years, aren’t you embarrassed to call me by my name?”
The young girl on the hospital bed was Qin Liu.
And the man by the bedside with a slightly weathered face was Liu Haoyu.
“Yeah…” the man pulled over a stool and sat down. “Time flies, it’s been over ten years.”
Ten years, not long, not short.
But it’s certain that scientific technology has developed quite a bit.
Qin Liu, who once suffered from complete organ failure and could only rely on the black coffin to survive, now, after surgery, looks almost as good as a normal person.
However, after more than ten years, the young girl’s appearance hasn’t changed at all. She’s still so delicate and cute. If outsiders saw them, they might mistake her for Liu Haoyu’s daughter.
“How’s your body after the surgery?”
“The doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow after another check-up.”
Qin Liu ate the cake little by little. For the first time in a long time, she felt the sweetness and fullness, and her face was filled with contented happiness.
This feeling of actually eating something was so much better than the feeling of a spiritual body eating.
“It would be great if I could have a bottle of cola too…”
Liu Haoyu looked at Qin Liu. Although he wanted to complain, “You’re so old, why are you still like a child?”, he saw that Qin Liu really didn’t seem to have grown up, so he held back his words and casually said,
“I’ll buy you one when we get back after you’re discharged.”
“By the way…”
Qin Liu seemed to have thought of something. She looked at the man’s face.
His face was full of a gentle smile, but Qin Liu could actually see that this man was tired, both mentally and physically, after a whole day of work.
“Didn’t you sleep last night?”
“A major case recently made some progress, so I worked a little overtime.”
“You call that overtime, or staying up all night?”
“…”
Liu Haoyu couldn’t refute it. Qin Liu understanding him too well wasn’t a good thing.
He couldn’t even lie.
“But it’s true, the Special Task Force is always very busy.”
It had been ten years since Liu Haoyu joined the Special Task Force.
At that time, with Wang Wenqi’s introduction and his own efforts, he successfully joined the Special Task Force.
Although the salary from the state wasn’t very high, it was stable.
“Then you came to see me, is everything okay with work?”
“Today is your birthday. No matter how busy work is, I have to make time to see you, after all, we are husband and wife.”
In fact, this was also the reason why Liu Haoyu worked overtime last night, so that he could manage to get some free time in the morning to see his wife who was hospitalized.
“After you’re discharged…” As she said this, Qin Liu gently rubbed the spoon she used for eating cake with her fingers, her face also a bit flushed. “In the future, when we do that kind of thing, you need to take safety precautions, otherwise… what if it leads to a life?”
Liu Haoyu was slightly stunned. In fact, he had already prepared for a childless life.
On one hand, his mother’s death after giving birth to him had left too much of a shadow on him.
On the other hand, it was Qin Liu’s own physical condition.
Her body had been lying in the black coffin, and it was indeed too weak.
Even though her spiritual body was very healthy, loving a spiritual body couldn’t create a crystal.
So, seeing Qin Liu’s direct and indirect hints, he couldn’t help but chuckle and rub the little one’s head.
“Ouch ouch… I’m talking about having a child, not about acting like a child!”
“It’s already a struggle to raise you, let alone a baby… Let’s focus on getting your body better first.”
“Mmm…”
Qin Liu puffed out her cheeks, but soon her face broke into a smile again.
Isn’t there a saying that goes well?
Parents are true love, children are accidents.
Because she was accustomed to Liu Haoyu’s care and gentleness, she naturally knew very well what he was worrying about.
It was nothing more than her physical problems.
“Speaking of which, it seems we haven’t been back to that marital home for a long time.”
Liu Haoyu was stunned for a moment.
Due to work reasons, after they moved to Jiangliu City to live, they indeed hadn’t been back for a long time.
The last time was… last year?
Seeing Liu Haoyu daze, Qin Liu’s fingertips lightly traced his palm.
“Do you remember the first time we met?”
“How could I not remember?” Liu Haoyu came back to his senses, seeming a bit emotional. “Back then, a fierce little ghost wanted to strangle me as soon as we met, and she always yelled things like ‘Get out of my house’.”
“Who told you to trespass into my home, that was clearly my house.”
Qin Liu couldn’t help but give him a side-eye, but there was still a smile on her face.
“The house I bought is my house.”
Liu Haoyu retorted without blushing, his breath steady.
Listening to his playful talk, Qin Liu waved her hand and said.
“Alright, alright, I won’t disturb your work time. If you keep staying here, someone must be chasing you to go to work, right?”
Although Liu Haoyu only stayed for an hour, Qin Liu knew that work was more important than her, after all.
Especially a profession like the Special Task Force, she knew what was more important.
“Okay, when you’re discharged, remember to call me.”
“Mhm mhm.”
As Liu Haoyu was about to get up, Qin Liu, while he wasn’t paying attention, kissed him lightly on the cheek, like a dragonfly touching water.
Then, she quickly burrowed into the covers and said in a muffled voice.
“Be safe.”
Even though it was through the covers, judging by her voice, she was probably a bit shy.
Liu Haoyu touched the residual warmth on his face, dazed for a long time before reacting, and said with a smile.
“We’re already an old married couple, and you’re still doing this…”
Saying that, the man left the hospital and went to the parking lot outside.
A police car was parked there. Seeing Liu Haoyu emerge, the police car window slowly rolled down, and a young man with a stern expression appeared before Liu Haoyu.
“Falcon, aren’t you going to spend more time with your wife?”
Hearing the other person’s words, Liu Haoyu opened the car door and got into the passenger seat, saying casually.
“My wife always says work is important…”
Liu Haoyu held a cigarette, the flame of the lighter illuminating his tired eyes. After taking a deep drag, he slowly exhaled.
“Raven, have there been any developments on the clues for ‘Phantom’?”
“Phantom” was a monster that escaped from the Special Task Force’s containment facility several years ago.
And there had been no clues for these past few years.
Until recently, the Special Task Force received a message, and this monster named “Phantom” seemed to have fled to Jiangliu City.
