Chapter 83: Don’t Ask!
Qin Liu saw Liu Haoyu’s restless appearance and couldn’t help but remind him.
“Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this not good? What if it’s a trap set by those fierce ghosts?”
As for Qin Liu’s worries, Liu Haoyu naturally had his own ideas.
If you just hunker down, others will treat you like a spinning top and enjoy whipping you.
Only by taking the initiative can you create a miracle of survival.
He was entangled with the Red Gate on one hand, and on the other hand, he had provoked these fierce ghosts who were burned to death.
He was as good as being covered in lice, and if he stayed in the haunted house, even if he was safe now, what about the future?
Escaping only avoids the problem, not solves it.
So, regardless of whether this was a trap or not, Liu Haoyu had to go.
The Black Book also said that those fierce ghosts who were burned to death had a way to break free from the Red Gate. Based on this alone, he had to find a way to get past it.
So Liu Haoyu’s answer was:
“Of course I have to go.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Liu finally covered her forehead.
She was so afraid of ghosts, but in order to find out her sister’s condition, she had to run around with this guy.
He was courting death every day. What if he really died one day?
Plus, considering how many things he had given her, she could only accompany him to the death.
“I can’t guarantee that I can save you next time.”
Qin Liu’s words made Liu Haoyu lean back.
“By the way, Qin Liu…”
“What?”
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s secretive appearance, Qin Liu tilted her head in confusion.
“Do you know that you are actually very strong?”
“Huh?”
Liu Haoyu’s brief remark shocked Qin Liu.
She pointed to herself and said:
“Very strong? Me?”
“Yes.”
Although Liu Haoyu looked very serious, Qin Liu thought for a moment and still shook her head, saying:
“No, no, no, how could I be so capable? I can only create a few illusions at most, I don’t have your strength.”
Compared to Liu Haoyu, Qin Liu felt she was weak.
If those fierce ghosts were placed in front of her, she might be scared to death on the spot.
On the contrary, Liu Haoyu was calm in the face of danger, holding talismans like a descended god, and ordinary fierce ghosts could not do anything to him.
Isn’t this incredibly strong?
On the contrary, she… can’t start fires, can’t use lightning, can’t spray water… Oh, she can spray water.
So what? What should she do? Smash the opponent with the lantern in her hand?
Those ghosts would probably die of laughter on the spot.
Since returning to the haunted house, Liu Haoyu had not been able to see Qin Liu, so he naturally couldn’t see her current appearance.
At this moment, the Black Book in his backpack trembled.
Then a pale hand reached out from the backpack and wrote on Liu Haoyu’s neck, word by word:
“Are you crazy?!
Don’t keep asking this question!
Her current state is the best. Once she remembers her duty, you definitely won’t see tomorrow’s sun!”
The cold fingertip touch also allowed Liu Haoyu to understand the Black Book’s words.
If the Black Book was to be believed… was Qin Liu in a state of amnesia?
She had forgotten her duty, and the indifferent Qin Liu he dreamed of was her original appearance?
Qin Liu’s background was still a mystery, but she was inextricably linked to the Red Gate. Perhaps he would only understand when he resolved the Red Gate.
“So why are you asking me about my strength? As you can see, I’m just a ghost who knows a few tricks. At most, I can make you have nightmares. I can’t do anything else.”
Have nightmares… does it mean nightmares that can trap people in dreams forever?
Liu Haoyu sighed, usually he rarely listened to the Black Book’s advice, but this time, his intuition as a ghost exorcist for so many years told him… it’s better not to ask too many questions at this stage.
Because he might really die.
“No, it’s nothing, I just think it’s good for you to act cute or something right now.”
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, Qin Liu’s mouth twitched.
“What acting cute! It was I who pulled you out of the Red Gate!”
Liu Haoyu had no objection to Qin Liu’s words.
Indeed, if it weren’t for Qin Liu, he might have died in the hands of the Red Gate long ago.
In a sense, Qin Liu was truly his savior.
“So do I need to pledge my body to repay you?”
“Are you calling this repayment?” Qin Liu immediately looked at Liu Haoyu with a dead fish eye and said: “You’re clearly lusting after me.”
Qin Liu was not a fool. This little ghost had been with Liu Haoyu for so long, she surely knew his preferences.
Perhaps even now, he was still thinking about her feet.
“Just a little joke,” Liu Haoyu shrugged, “but that outfit really suits you. My taste is indeed accurate.”
“Ugh!”
Qin Liu’s small face turned red, and she was both embarrassed and annoyed. She never expected that Liu Haoyu could actually see her.
Although it was temporary, he had undeniably seen it!
How to describe this feeling?
It’s like you’re cross-dressing, and your good brother sees you…
It’s truly indescribable shame.
“Compared to that red wedding dress, this one is obviously more beautiful. Shall I buy you more next time?”
“There’s no next time!”
Qin Liu’s face flushed red as she denied Liu Haoyu’s suggestion.
But she still took a deep breath and said:
“You don’t have much money yourself, and this dress is too expensive. Let’s forget about it next time. I’m just a dead person, so what’s the point of looking good?”
“You can show me.”
“…”
At this moment, Qin Liu really wanted to point fingers at Liu Haoyu.
But she held back.
She always felt that if her words were directed at him, they would only make this pervert feel good and achieve nothing.
It even felt like playing the lute to a cow.
What bad things did she do in her past life?
That she had to encounter such an unreliable person.
Thinking about this, Qin Liu couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
But she had to admit that she, a ghost, had been alone here for so many years. If it weren’t for this shrimp head Liu Haoyu running over…
She really didn’t know how she would have endured it.
Humans are social animals, and such lonely days are too agonizing.
When Qin Liu fell silent, Liu Haoyu could also feel a hint of sadness in the room.
In fact, Liu Haoyu never thought of himself as a straight man, he just acted like one out of habit.
Although he didn’t know what Qin Liu was sad about, he still placed the meat bun in his hand on the shrine.
“Eat something.”
Seeing the meat bun that fell into her hand, Qin Liu was stunned, and a trace of inexplicable warmth welled up in her heart.
Yes, the only one who could speak to her like this was him, wasn’t it?
With a warm heart, Qin Liu took a bite of the bun.
Logically speaking, delicious food is very healing, but midway through tasting it, she realized…
Why was the other side of the meat bun bitten?
The young girl’s chewing motion stopped, and she said incredulously:
“You’re giving me back the meat bun you’ve already eaten!?”
