Chapter Seventy-Six Fire in the Dormitory (4000 characters)
Liu Haoyu tried calling out several times, but there was no response from inside the car.
However, through the shattered glass, Liu Haoyu could still see the four people inside the police car.
Combined with the strong malevolent energy in the police car, Liu Haoyu seemed to understand something.
This was not a car accident, but an attack by a fierce ghost.
The police car had overturned. To avoid any further accidents,
Liu Haoyu took out a fire axe from his backpack and put on a mask.
Compared to the free America, domestic police cars generally do not have high-strength bulletproof glass, so Liu Haoyu easily removed the car window glass. After confirming that the four people were only unconscious and had no serious injuries, Liu Haoyu moved the police officers one by one to a safe area.
Looking at the four people, Liu Haoyu was a bit confused and puzzled.
Their police car was painted with many exorcism talismans. Would a normal police car have such things?
Although he couldn’t figure it out, Liu Haoyu decided to call 120 for the four people first.
“Hello, is this 120? There’s a car accident here, the address is… yes… yes, the injured are unconscious but not bleeding profusely, mm, delicious, you can ask them for money later, don’t look for me.”
After speaking, Liu Haoyu hung up the phone.
As for whether he would worry about the hospital finding him and bothering him.
That was not the case, because Liu Haoyu had Qin Liu make the call. Even if 120 wanted to find him, they couldn’t find his whereabouts from a garbled phone number.
After confirming that the four were safe, Liu Haoyu rode his motorcycle again and left the place.
These four people must have encountered a ghost. When passing by here next time, they should pay attention to a flag command z ba wu si ⒍ (ba qi] g7 xia ba.
By the time Liu Haoyu returned home, it was almost nine o’clock in the morning.
When he pushed open the door, he noticed something was wrong.
There were signs that the house door had been opened.
And on the thick dust, there were footprints that did not belong to him.
There were also tire marks outside…
Could it be that these four police officers came to investigate his house last night?
What were they planning?
Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but suspect that the police had made a mistake. Why was he, a five-star good citizen, being targeted?
However, they shouldn’t have moved anything. There were some footprints on the first floor, but nothing on the second floor.
Perhaps it was because the yin energy of this haunted house was too terrifying, making people uncomfortable just walking in.
But no matter what, it was good that the four police officers did not see the things in his room.
If they found out he was living here, he would inevitably be questioned.
After all, no normal person would choose to live in a place like this, which was comparable to a ruin.
“Your house is the ruin!”
Qin Liu retorted loudly.
“It’s just that no one cleans it!”
“You seem to have a lot more energy after returning home.”
Liu Haoyu said when he heard Qin Liu’s voice.
“Did you try on the clothes I gave you last time? How do they feel?”
Qin Liu said without blushing or panting.
“Do I look like someone who would wear this kind of clothing?”
“I think you can try it on, you really suit the JK style with white stockings.”
“Heh~ You think you can trick me.”
Qin Liu was indeed wearing that outfit, but she was also telling blatant lies.
There was no way, since Liu Haoyu couldn’t see, so it was equivalent to her not wearing it.
“Speaking of which, Qin Liu, do you know what a guide is?”
“A guide?”
Qin Liu, who was initially thinking of showing off, was a bit confused when she heard the term.
“What is that?”
Liu Haoyu was not too surprised by Qin Liu’s reaction. A guess had already formed in his mind.
It was possible that Qin Liu had encountered something that caused her to lose her memory and forget her original duties and abilities.
This was the only possible explanation, otherwise, there was no way to explain why this fierce ghost was so strong yet so cowardly, like a harmless spirit.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Since she seemed to have amnesia now, it was better not to say too much.
It was better for Qin Liu to maintain her current state than to revert to her previous state, which was comparable to a dead person.
That state was probably Qin Liu’s full power, and she was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, speaking of which, Qin Liu’s current timid appearance was quite cute.
On the other hand, Qin Liu in the dream…
Recalling the scene at that time, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but shiver.
The Qin Liu holding a lantern had an oppressive feeling that was too strong.
She was definitely not someone he could handle. The Black Book was right, if a conflict arose between them, he would be the one who died.
Lost in thought, Liu Haoyu placed the char siu bao he bought that morning on the altar.
This little ghost liked to eat them, so Liu Haoyu specially bought two large char siu bao as offerings for her.
“Eat up.”
Although he was making offerings, for some reason, Liu Haoyu felt like he was feeding a ravenously hungry pet.
Especially when he heard Qin Liu’s delighted and very satisfied chewing sound, this feeling became even stronger.
“How does it taste?”
“Delicious!”
The two char siu bao were gone in less than a minute in front of Qin Liu.
Moreover, after eating, she even said with a lingering desire,
“If I offer these two buns again, can I eat them again?”
“You think too highly of yourself, but it’s actually impossible.”
Liu Haoyu ignored Qin Liu’s stare and picked up the char siu bao from the altar and took a bite.
“There’s a saying, everything has a spirit. You ate the soul of the buns, so even if you take them down and offer them again, you can’t eat them a second time.”
Of course, this explanation was purely made up by Liu Haoyu. He didn’t know the actual principle.
But it was enough to tease Qin Liu.
“Really?”
“Really.”
After eating his fill, Liu Haoyu washed his hands and lay down on the bed.
Daytime was not the time for ghost exorcists.
He had to conserve his energy and act at night.
But he had slept quite a bit at Deng Xiaolin’s place yesterday.
Liu Haoyu didn’t feel sleepy at all now.
He took out his phone and prepared to look for some information.
Information about Longshan Vocational High School.
As the saying goes, “a good general never fights an unprepared battle.”
Although Liu Haoyu was not a general, as a ghost exorcist, he might seem carefree and careless in his daily life, but he still had to clarify the necessary clues.
Otherwise, he would be walking in blind and end up dead.
However, as mentioned before, this matter was old, and the information was highly classified.
So Liu Haoyu searched for a long time but couldn’t find any useful clues.
After searching in vain, Liu Haoyu sighed.
At this moment, Qin Liu saw the search history on Liu Haoyu’s phone and said in surprise.
“Longshan Vocational High School? Why are you looking for this place?”
Seeing Qin Liu’s reaction, Liu Haoyu felt that she seemed to know something, so he asked.
“Do you know this place well?”
“Not really, I’ve just had some contact with it.”
Although Qin Liu was not from Jiangliu City, she was a genuine Jiangquan person in her lifetime.
The distance between the two cities was not far, so Qin Liu naturally heard about this matter.
Liu Haoyu was not too surprised by Qin Liu’s response.
Come to think of it, Qin Liu had lived on this land for so long, and it was normal for her to hear some rumors from other ghosts.
No… would any ghost dare to talk to her?
Forget it, now was not the time to think about these things, it was better to settle this matter quickly.
The Red Gate had to be dealt with as soon as possible. Not only because it had targeted him, but more importantly, judging by its performance in recent days, the Red Gate was extremely dangerous.
It must be resolved quickly.
The Black Book also said that the Red Gate tracked enemies by name, and he had to first thoroughly investigate the matter of Longshan High School.
This kind of interconnected supernatural event was the most annoying and troublesome.
“Tell me what clues you know.”
“I don’t know if it counts as a clue…”
Qin Liu recalled the situation at the time and said slowly.
“That day, for some unknown reason, the dormitory of Longshan Vocational High School suddenly caught fire.”
“And the fire spread very quickly, so fast that it didn’t seem like normal flames.”
“By the time the firefighters arrived at the scene, the fourth floor of the dormitory had been completely engulfed by the raging fire, and dozens of students were trapped in the flames and burned to death.”
“And in the subsequent investigation…”
At this point, Qin Liu secretly swallowed her saliva.
“What happened afterward?”
“Later, those students who were burned to death reappeared on campus. Their appearance and behavior were indistinguishable from normal people. If people didn’t carefully check the information, no one would have known they were already dead.”
What Qin Liu said might be hard for others to believe.
But Liu Haoyu knew very well that such things were not impossible.
“Anything else?”
“Most of what happened afterward was hearsay, coupled with various rumors. It’s hard to determine the truth.”
“But one thing is certain: that burned-down teaching building would let out piercing screams every day, and then there were multiple cases of spontaneous human combustion in the school.”
“Finally, under pressure from outside and the government, Longshan Vocational High School had no choice but to close permanently.”
At this point, Qin Liu remembered something else. Although it was also hearsay and difficult to determine the truth, she still said.
“After the school was abandoned, a new media streamer who didn’t believe in evil went there late at night to seek thrills.”
“However, when people found him, they discovered that his corpse was burned beyond recognition, and his internal organs and brain were missing. They have never been found.”
Qin Liu revealed everything she knew, even vividly describing it in a terrifying tone, trying to make Liu Haoyu give up.
After all, she really didn’t want to go to that place.
“I’m not lying to you, there are really ghosts there, and people really die!”
“Ghosts… aren’t I facing one right now?”
Liu Haoyu’s words made Qin Liu’s previously built-up emotions vanish at that moment.
After a moment of silence, the little ghost said with a red face.
“This… this is different, isn’t it?”
Then, the little ghost kept muttering things like “ghosts cannot be generalized,” and “I am a good ghost, and I don’t kill people.”
After she finished her rambling, Liu Haoyu had a general idea of the train of thought and context of this supernatural event.
The biggest root cause was the fire in the dormitory building.
So if he wanted to investigate thoroughly, he had to start from there.
“Are you really going?”
Qin Liu tried to see Liu Haoyu’s inner thoughts.
In response, Liu Haoyu shrugged and said.
“Why wouldn’t a ghost exorcist go? I heard that the girls at Longshan Vocational High School are quite pretty, and maybe they’ll stay that way even if they become ghosts? So it wouldn’t hurt to go and take a look.”
“Ah…” Qin Liu paused and said, “The dormitory that caught fire was the boys’ dormitory.”
“…”
“…”
The man and the ghost fell into a silent silence.
–
Meanwhile, Wang Wenqi woke up from his hospital bed.
He clutched his aching head and tried hard to recall what had happened before he fainted.
Soon, he startled abruptly.
Cold sweat kept pouring from his forehead.
Wang Wenqi remembered that before he fainted, he encountered a strange red shadow.
Based on Wang Wenqi’s experience.
That red shadow was far beyond what he and his team could contend with.
But he was still alive…
Still alive.
Wang Wenqi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After entering this line of work, although they always said to disregard life and death, when faced with death, many people would not be able to remain rational.
Wang Wenqi was no exception.
So he was somewhat relieved and let out a sigh of relief.
“Officer, you’re finally awake. How do you feel?”
Seeing Wang Wenqi wake up, a nurse asked.
“Does anything hurt?”
“No,” Wang Wenqi got out of bed and asked, “How are the people in the car?”
To be honest, after asking this question, Wang Wenqi had already prepared for the worst.
For example, he was just lucky and narrowly escaped the fierce ghost’s notice, thus surviving.
“Three other officers also suffered fractures of varying degrees, but their conditions are stable. One officer can already get out of bed and walk.”
As the nurse spoke, Xiong Ying, wearing a white hospital gown, walked over.
“Nurse, please go ahead and be busy, I’ll talk to the leader.”
“Okay.”
The nurse left the ward, leaving only Wang Wenqi and Xiong Ying in the room.
“Leader…”
Before Xiong Ying could speak, Wang Wenqi subconsciously reached out and said.
“Don’t come too close, let me recover first.”
Wang Wenqi felt uneasy recalling his life-and-death experience with a ghost.
Especially since that ghost had disguised itself as Xiong Ying, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
“Okay,” Xiong Ying stopped and sat on another bed, saying, “Leader, that haunted house is definitely not something we can handle. How about… we give up?”
Supernatural events have limitations within their scope.
And based on Xiong Ying’s investigation after waking up, he found that the house had several previous buyers, but these buyers were only scared.
No casualties occurred.
Xiong Ying finished recounting his investigation results. Wang Wenqi listened and pondered for a while.
“Who was the last buyer?”
