Chapter 6 Frightening
Normally, asking ghosts could attract wandering ghosts for dialogue and communication.
It could even be used to directly ask the ghost who killed it, and what grudges or regrets it had when it was alive.
This way, it could also reduce a lot of the burden on Liu Haoyu’s work.
Once a situation arises where the ghost cannot be summoned even with its belongings, it means the ghost’s strength is incredibly terrifying.
It can be said that this was the most troublesome fierce ghost Liu Haoyu had encountered since entering this line of work.
The stronger the fierce ghost, the higher the spiritual sight required. If the ghost didn’t reveal itself, Liu Haoyu would never be able to see its true form in his entire life.
In fact, even if it did appear, Liu Haoyu might not be able to see it.
However, what made Liu Haoyu even stranger was that the strength of a fierce ghost was almost directly proportional to its resentment, meaning the stronger the fierce ghost, the greater the harm to humans.
But… why was the fierce ghost in this house not like that?
Liu Haoyu had never encountered such a manageable, even somewhat foolish and cute, fierce ghost.
After the ghost-asking session ended, the wandering lonely spirits that were attracted also regained their consciousness. They fled in panic through the windows as if there were a great flood or monstrous beasts here.
As they ran out, Liu Haoyu could still hear their voices filled with panic and anger.
“What are you asking in a place like this? Can’t you find a place in the human world to ask?!”
This showed that not only humans, but even ghosts disliked this house.
Liu Haoyu packed up what he needed to pack, then looked at the red wedding dress in his hand.
His thoughts were filled with a thousand emotions.
Finally, he folded the red wedding dress neatly and put it in a bag.
This item belonged to the fierce ghost and had to be preserved properly.
Then, Li Haoyu spent some more time inspecting all the rooms on the third floor.
Except for the first room where clothes were hung, the subsequent rooms, although still chilling and terrifying, did not cause the candle in Liu Haoyu’s hand to light up again.
He didn’t know where that fierce ghost was hiding.
“The third floor is cleared… there were no problems on the first or second floor either.”
At this moment, Liu Haoyu suddenly thought of something.
When he bought this house, he remembered Old Wang mentioning that there was a basement.
So, he returned to the first floor.
However, no matter how much Liu Haoyu searched, he couldn’t find the entrance to the basement. It was already midnight, the time of day with the heaviest yin energy.
The night was deep, so Liu Haoyu decided to return to his room to rest for the night.
The situation in the room was the same as when Liu Haoyu left during the day.
The only difference was that there were some more furniture in the room.
After hanging the red wedding dress from the bag in the wardrobe, Liu Haoyu lay down on the bed.
At the same time, he placed a candle by his bedside.
Being bold did not mean being reckless. This candle was originally used as a warning.
Ghosts were sensitive to firelight, let alone this item specifically used to deal with ghosts for exorcism.
Ordinary ghosts, and even dangerous fierce ghosts, could not extinguish this thing.
After simply washing his face, Liu Haoyu lay down on the bed.
He closed his eyes, but couldn’t sleep either way.
The reason was simple: even though the fierce ghost in the house now seemed to have no hostility, the resentment in the house was too heavy.
In such a state of resentment, the fierce ghost would inevitably become a more dangerous monster, and it was uncertain whether it could still maintain its current friendliness.
Muzzyly, Liu Haoyu fell asleep.
Shortly after he fell asleep, the candle by his bed was lit.
The faint candlelight in the dim world seemed so small, as if a gust of wind could blow it out.
In fact, it was indeed blown out.
The curtains were pulled up by something, and the room was plunged back into darkness.
The oppressive atmosphere was as if Liu Haoyu was lying not on a bed, but in a coffin.
At the same time, a “drip, drip” sound began to echo in the room.
It sounded like something was moving around in the room.
These strange footsteps grew closer and closer, but they passed by Liu Haoyu’s bed and went directly towards the wardrobe.
“Drip, drip…”
This sound, like a clockwork, grew louder, and it woke Liu Haoyu from his dream.
He looked at the dark room, then at the candle by his bed.
Then he looked at the open wardrobe door and fell into thought.
Inside the wardrobe, not only the red wedding dress, but also his own clothes had vanished.
That fierce ghost even refused to leave him a single pair of underpants!
—
“I got it back…”
Even after putting on her clothes, Qin Liu’s face was still flushed.
She now saw it clearly.
The guy who had occupied her room was definitely a complete pervert.
How could she have been so foolish as to take off her clothes and hang them on the clothesline to scare someone?
What was she thinking?
“It’s lucky that person couldn’t see me.”
Qin Liu covered her face, feeling a sense of unbearable shame.
But she had to admit one thing: the man in her room was truly brave.
Not only was he not afraid of ghosts, but he was also not afraid of death.
Sleeping with a candle lit at the bedside in the middle of the night, was he afraid he wouldn’t be burned to death?
He had no fire safety awareness and had to have a ghost blow out his candle, was that acceptable?
“Fortunately, I am kind-hearted, otherwise, they wouldn’t have burned him to death.”
Perhaps feeling that she had done a good deed, Qin Liu’s heart was greatly satisfied.
However, good deeds aside, this person still had to be driven out.
“You want to smell my clothes? I’ll make sure you have no clothes to wear now!”
Qin Liu smiled happily. She looked at the thick stack of clothes in her hand, her bright eyes rolled, and then she decided to hang these clothes on the third floor.
Last night he met her in the laundry room on the third floor, and now his clothes were placed in the laundry room.
How about that, isn’t that scary enough?
No… something more could be added.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Liu began her actions.
As the morning of the second day arrived, just as Qin Liu had predicted, when Liu Haoyu found no clothes in the wardrobe, he began to search everywhere.
Soon, he went up to the third floor.
When Liu Haoyu walked into the laundry room, he saw his clothes.
However, besides his clothes, a figure was hanging next to his clothes.
As the sun had just risen, the light was not very bright yet.
Liu Haoyu looked closely and saw that the figure was a hanged woman.
Due to the rope constricting her neck, the woman’s neck was almost broken. Her head was tilted, and her limbs hung limply.
The wind blew gently, and the woman’s face gradually turned towards him.
It was a pair of pale eyes, staring intently at Liu Haoyu.
Unexpectedly, Liu Haoyu walked directly under the hanged ghost, lifted her skirt, tilted his head, and tried to look somewhere deep and mysterious.
Then, the man’s face was kicked squarely by the ghost.
