Chapter 86: Fellow Colleagues for a Time
Seeing Liu Haoyu freeze in place, Bai Anting continued to speak. (6) Ba cu wu VIII Ling4_lin wu
“If you don’t want to accompany me for the live broadcast, you just need to spend tonight with me, and I won’t bother you anymore.”
It had to be said that if it were anyone else, even if someone had died here, in this situation, they might have already pounced like a wolf or tiger.
But unfortunately, Liu Haoyu was not an ordinary person.
He picked up his mobile phone, browsed through Bai Anting’s contact list, and then made a call.
“Ring, ring” The ringing sound was not long, and the call was quickly answered.
A woman’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello?”
Seeing that the call was connected, Liu Haoyu said in a muffled voice.
“Your daughter is in my hands. If you don’t want her to die, give me 500,000 ransom. I don’t have much patience, and don’t even think about calling the police, otherwise…”
Qin Liu, who was hiding in the Hong Yu, was stunned by Liu Haoyu’s practiced actions.
It’s not a buddy?
Why are you so skilled?
Do you really have no criminal record?!
However, after a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone cursed.
“Don’t think I don’t know your daughter lost her phone. She’s sitting opposite me eating right now, you know?”
With that, the call ended.
Since Liu Haoyu had the speakerphone on, an eerie silence fell upon the room.
Liu Haoyu said nothing, and Bai Anting on the bed said nothing.
This strange atmosphere lasted for a full ten seconds before Liu Haoyu finally couldn’t help but laugh.
Paired with the bloodstained fire axe in his hand, he looked like a bloodthirsty murderer.
“Heh heh… Throughout history, have there not been ghost exorcists who have fallen into the trap of such a honey trap? However, I must admit, although the method is crude, it is really effective.”
As Liu Haoyu had said before, he would not repeat the mistakes of his predecessors.
There was also something that surprised Liu Haoyu.
That is, after a person transforms into a fierce ghost, their seven souls and six spirits will more or less lose a part, either blinded by hatred or consumed by endless desires.
From the performance of the fierce ghosts burned to death, their rationality was relatively intact, but they had long lost their humanity.
It is likely that… that female ghost exorcist died at the hands of these fierce ghosts.
Seeing that Liu Haoyu had seen through the scheme, “Bai Anting” revealed expressions of shock, confusion, fear, and even resentment on her pretty face.
Then, her face began to shrink little by little, and the skin on her body seemed to be burned by fire, rapidly cracking, blackening, and falling off.
Her eyes also began to shrink continuously until they turned into two dark and hollow openings.
Her mouth, which was now just bones and teeth, continued to open and close, and a hoarse voice echoed in the room.
She struggled to crawl over, but her lower body also fell off, leaving long bloodstains on the clean bedsheet.
“Why… why…”
The illusion created by the fierce ghost had been broken, and the original “Bai Anting” had now transformed into someone else’s appearance.
If Liu Haoyu had not guessed wrong, this should be the deceased ghost exorcist.
As she was about to crawl off the bed, the upper half of the corpse stopped, her withered hand stretched out like a bamboo stick, and she tried to grab Liu Haoyu.
But she had already lost all her strength and stopped in place.
Until she weakly drooped down, she regained a trace of consciousness, but… it was only a wisp of remnant soul.
Liu Haoyu sighed as he looked at the corpse in front of him.
To be honest, seeing his former colleague in such a state, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of rabbit death and fox sorrow.
The hoarse and terrifying voice continued to echo in the room.
“Longshan Vocational High School…”
“There are ghosts…”
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu lit himself a cigarette and looked at the tragic scene before him, unsure of what to say for a moment.
In order to prevent her corpse from giving birth to a ghost infant, this ghost exorcist chose an extremely cruel way to end her own life.
Even though she was a woman, she was still a hero.
And it was obvious that the death of the female ghost exorcist was directly related to those fierce ghosts that were burned to death.
No one could tolerate such a thing, and Liu Haoyu was no exception.
As he exhaled a puff of smoke, Liu Haoyu’s gaze shifted to the window.
On the dusty window, there were black handprints all over it.
It was like black marks left by a person’s hand after it was burned by fire.
There were many of them, and they looked extremely eerie.
The wronged soul of the female ghost exorcist was bound here, unable to escape, unable to ascend.
Only by killing those fierce ghosts could she transcend and be reborn.
She tried to grab Liu Haoyu, but her burned and powerless hands could not be lifted.
Liu Haoyu stomped out the cigarette butt and said.
“We were all colleagues, I won’t let you die in vain.”
The one who brought him to this place was definitely not this female ghost exorcist, but the fierce ghosts and vengeful spirits of Longshan High School.
They wanted to use this method to get him killed by the wronged soul of this female ghost exorcist.
But clearly, that plan failed.
Liu Haoyu flipped open the black book and looked at the two lines of text on it.
“Remember, for you now, staying in the haunted house is actually the safest.”
“Once you leave the haunted house, under their pursuit, you will have nowhere to die.”
Although the black book spoke terrifyingly, after confronting that group of fierce ghosts once, Liu Haoyu had a general understanding of their strength.
At that time, because the combat environment was advantageous to them, he could only flee in a sorry state, but after he was prepared… it might not be the same.
However, even so, it was still not advisable to fight on their home turf; it was best to divide and conquer them.
“Can I come out now?”
“Mm.”
The fierce ghosts that were burned seemed not to have come to this place, so Liu Haoyu naturally would not let Qin Liu continue to be bored in the Hong Yu.
“Hoo… I really didn’t expect this…”
“What?”
“I thought you would have gone straight for it like a hungry tiger pouncing.”
Qin Liu’s words made Liu Haoyu’s mouth twitch. He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of image he had in this little spirit’s mind.
No matter how desperate he was, he wouldn’t lay a hand on a dried corpse.
“I think you’re slandering me.”
As Liu Haoyu righteously refuted, Bai Anting’s mobile phone rang again.
This time, the call was from a landline.
As soon as Liu Haoyu answered the phone, the girl’s anxious voice came from the other end.
“Mr. Murderer, is… is that you?!”
Hearing Bai Anting’s voice, Liu Haoyu pondered for a moment and then said.
“It’s me.”
After the other party confirmed it was Liu Haoyu, they were completely relieved.
As if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, they said.
“Mom and Dad just went out for the night shift, and then I encountered something… very unbelievable.”
“You said, as a firefighter, I have the obligation to help every Chinese citizen, so please speak boldly about what assistance you need.”
Liu Haoyu’s voice gave the Bai Anting on the other end of the phone a bit of courage.
She tremblingly asked.
“I want to ask about the person knocking on the door outside the house… is that you?”
