Chapter 62: Is She Really Human?
“What’s wrong with her?”
Fearing discovery, Qin Liu lowered her voice as much as possible.
“Why does she look a bit strange?”
The female police officer seemed to have lost her senses, staring blankly at the floor, unsure if she was asleep or doing something else.
However, her messy hair and disheveled clothes made it clear that her mental state might not be very good.
“Maybe she’s heartbroken?”
Liu Haoyu walked up to the female police officer.
At that moment, the female police officer also looked up.
Upon seeing her face, Qin Liu was greatly surprised.
Wasn’t this the same female police officer who entered the ghost house with Li Rongjun?
Her name seemed to be Li Suqin?
How did she end up like this?
What about Li Rongjun, the middle-aged police officer? What had happened to these two?
Qin Liu couldn’t quite figure it out, but Liu Haoyu had already guessed something.
The black book was right.
Facing that blood-red iron door meant there was no escape.
Whether it was Old Wang, the current female police officer, or even himself, the common factor was that blood-red iron door.
Lost in thought, Liu Haoyu stepped forward and asked the female police officer.
“Miss, are you alright?”
Perhaps hearing Liu Haoyu’s voice, Li Suqin slowly raised her head and looked at Liu Haoyu.
This female police officer’s eyes were like a lost soul, empty and lifeless, like a broken doll.
When she looked behind Liu Haoyu, her previously vacant eyes suddenly filled with extreme terror.
She kept backing away, but in the already small space, no matter how she tried to hide, she couldn’t escape.
However, the others in the cabin completely ignored her struggles, remaining seated in their original positions, unperturbed.
After realizing escape and struggle were futile, Li Suqin slumped to the ground. Her empty eyes stared at Qin Liu, tears completely soaking her face. She cried out in a wailing, pleading voice.
“Don’t… don’t kill me… please… let me out…”
It was clear she wasn’t begging Liu Haoyu for mercy, but for Qin Liu, who was behind him.
But this little ghost was also confused. She never expected that the two people she kindly rescued last night would both go crazy today!
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu placed his hand on the female police officer’s shoulder and said.
“Don’t be afraid, no one here dares to kill you.”
After Liu Haoyu’s reassurance, the female police officer’s expression improved considerably.
Compared to Li Rongjun, her situation wasn’t as severe; it was just that her fear was so overwhelming that it caused her to become this way.
“Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”
“No… I can’t go back…”
Li Suqin’s eyes widened as she said, “I’ve been sitting here all day, and this car won’t let me leave! I can’t get out!”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu finally understood everything.
Had he and Qin Liu gotten onto a ghost bus?
This situation wasn’t uncommon.
Besides, it wasn’t his first time on a ghost bus; it was a small matter.
So, Liu Haoyu continued to reassure her.
“Don’t worry, there’s just a traffic jam today. I’ll ask the driver to let you off.”
With that, Liu Haoyu’s gaze fell upon the driver.
But the driver showed no reaction, as if he hadn’t noticed Liu Haoyu’s gaze at all.
At this moment, Qin Liu’s mind hadn’t caught up yet. Her gaze also fell on the driver.
The driver, as if targeted by some fierce beast, slammed on the brakes, opened the door at extreme speed, and said.
“I’ll stop right away!”
The driver’s voice carried a hint of reverence and a hint of terror.
“Please take care, please take care…”
For the driver, he wished these two would leave the car as soon as possible, even if it meant taking the female police officer with them.
Being with Qin Liu, the red-clothed female ghost, even without consciousness, would scare him into sanity.
However, due to the driver’s sudden 180-degree change in attitude, Liu Haoyu hadn’t even understood what had happened.
The man’s first reaction was that the driver was scared away by his attitude, but on second thought, it didn’t seem quite right.
So, he tried to locate Qin Liu, but the little ghost was invisible, and he couldn’t find her no matter how hard he looked. He had to give up.
With Liu Haoyu’s support, the group quickly got off the bus and arrived at a bus stop waiting hall.
Outside, Li Suqin’s mental state appeared to have improved considerably.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu continued to press his advantage.
“Where do you live?”
“Twenty-two Zhongfa Street, Xihuan Road…”
Li Suqin slowly stated her home address.
The good news was that it wasn’t far from here.
The bad news was that it was still raining, and he didn’t know how long this rain would last.
Looking at Li Suqin’s mental state, even though the rain was heavy, Liu Haoyu didn’t dare to delay any longer.
Because of Li Suqin’s police uniform, he was able to borrow an umbrella from a kind citizen.
“Is your phone still charged? I’ll contact your colleagues or family.”
“…My phone is at home.”
“Do you remember your colleagues’ phone numbers?”
“We usually contact each other via WeChat.”
Well, in that case, his options were either to call an ambulance or call the police.
But Li Suqin didn’t want to call the police. She looked at the young man in front of her and pleaded.
“My legs can’t walk anymore. Can you take me home?”
“…Alright.”
Since Li Suqin insisted, Liu Haoyu had no choice but to support her and walk forward through the heavy rain.
By the time they reached Li Suqin’s home, despite having an umbrella, both of them were thoroughly soaked.
Liu Haoyu found a set of keys in the female police officer’s pocket, unlocked the door, and entered.
“We’re at your place.”
“…”
When Liu Haoyu turned around, he discovered that Li Suqin had inexplicably fainted.
Unable to do anything, Liu Haoyu placed her on the sofa and dialed 120.
“Beep… beep…”
There was no response to the call.
It was then that Li Haoyu realized that his phone signal had been completely interrupted at some point.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu frowned and immediately sensed something was wrong.
But looking at Li Suqin, who was in a coma, he decided to stabilize the female police officer’s condition first.
Therefore, Liu Haoyu said to Qin Liu.
“Help me find her clothes and I’ll go to the bathroom to get some hot water for her.”
The bathroom was pitch black, with the curtains drawn and the lights off.
When the lights were turned on, Liu Haoyu saw that the female police officer he had brought back was soaking in the bathtub.
Turning back to look at the living room, the person who should have been lying on the sofa had disappeared.
Wait… Was the person he brought back truly human?
A chill ran down Liu Haoyu’s spine.
