Chapter Eighty-Eight: Where are the Ghosts?
On one side were windows covered with countless fierce ghosts, and on the other, a door being constantly battered.
For Bai Anting at this moment, her taut nerves could no longer process anything.
Almost instinctively, she retreated with difficulty, trying to escape the room.
“Bang bang bang!”
The windows were continuously being pounded by those ferocious ghosts, with the risk of being broken open at any moment.
If these fierce ghosts were to enter the room, Bai Anting knew very well that she would surely be doomed.
Therefore, driven by her will to survive, she barely regained control of her body and rushed towards the door without stopping.
“Hehehe… is she trying to run?”
“She can’t run away, she can’t run away!”
“Go to hell with us!”
“…”
The terrifying whispers of the fierce ghosts outside the window made Bai Anting run towards the door with all her might.
The door was also being hit by something.
Should she open the door?
Bai Anting’s brain was completely unable to think at this moment.
But by instinct, she still reached out her hand.
However, as soon as she reached out, she froze.
The room’s door had, for some reason, turned into a blood-red rusted iron door.
“Ahhhhh!!”
Seeing this strange iron door, Bai Anting was almost beside herself and retreated frantically backward.
The fear that emanated from the depths of her heart completely shattered her last shred of rationality.
The door was clearly not open, but it felt as if countless pale ghost hands were reaching out from inside, trying to grab Bai Anting and pull her in.
Even more bizarre, the red iron door seemed to be constantly in front of Bai Anting, no matter how far she retreated, she couldn’t escape.
By the time Bai Anting’s back was pressed tightly against the wall, with nowhere else to retreat, the door was still less than a meter away from her.
It’s over…
Am I going to die?
Bai Anting’s collapsed mind couldn’t even feel despair, only a fear that penetrated to the bone.
“Bang!”
The windows of the bedroom were also broken open, the sound of shattering glass echoing throughout the room.
It seemed the fierce ghosts from outside the window had also entered the bedroom, but what difference would that make?
Bai Anting knew she was doomed and had long given up resisting.
She closed her eyes.
One second passed…
Two seconds passed…
Three seconds passed…
The process of quietly awaiting death was undoubtedly torturous.
However, after an unknown amount of time, Bai Anting found that she felt no pain, no ghost hands tightly grasping her, tearing and gnawing at her flesh.
When she closed her eyes, the entire world fell silent.
The screams of ghosts and the sounds of the door being battered had completely disappeared.
Everything was silent.
“Are you okay?”
As Bai Anting was confused, a gentle and pleasant voice sounded.
“Open your eyes, I am a good ghost.”
The voice was very soft, giving Bai Anting a warm, comforting feeling, and completely dispelling the fear in her heart.
She opened her eyes in confusion and then saw…
A flickering red shadow standing before her!
It’s a ghost! It’s a ghost!
Seeing this red shadow, Bai Anting, who had just recovered, suddenly felt her legs give out, her eyes closed, and she completely fainted.
Seeing Bai Anting like this, the red shadow couldn’t help but scratch its head.
“Huh? Am I that scary?”
This red shadow was none other than Qin Liu.
Using Bai Anting’s mobile phone and talisman, Liu Haoyu and Qin Liu found Bai Anting’s home without taking too much time.
As soon as they arrived at her house, the two couldn’t help but gasp as they saw the dense resentment.
Liu Haoyu clearly understood what this resentment meant.
Only those who were about to die would exude such resentment.
This meant that Bai Anting, who was inside the room, was in considerable danger. So Liu Haoyu decisively swung the axe towards the door lock.
Although it was just an ordinary wooden door, no matter how Liu Haoyu swung, even with the talisman, the door lock remained unmoved.
With no other option, and with saving her being the priority, Liu Haoyu directly asked Qin Liu to emerge from the Hong Yu and pass through the wooden door to open it from the inside.
As a result, as soon as the ethereal Qin Liu entered, she saw Bai Anting, who was terrified and panicked.
To comfort her emotions, Qin Liu chose to step forward and comfort her.
Then, what happened next was as described above: the young girl named Bai Anting fainted peacefully upon seeing Qin Liu.
Qin Liu scanned the room, and thinking that this place might be haunted, she also felt quite scared.
After confirming that there were no ghosts around, Qin Liu quickly opened the door.
Following that, Liu Haoyu, wearing a gas mask and holding a fire axe, entered the room.
The man frowned as he felt the residual resentment in the room.
“Fortunately, we arrived in time. If we were any later… she would have probably died at home.”
“That close?”
“…”
Liu Haoyu did not reply to Qin Liu’s words, and he also scanned the situation in the room.
However, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn’t find any trace of the fierce ghosts, and at the same time, the resentment in the room began to gradually subside.
This meant that the fierce ghosts that had been burned to death had been scared away by Qin Liu?
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu sighed.
If he wanted to get rid of the entanglement of the Red Gate, he had to capture these fierce ghosts that had been burned to death. The Black Book had also repeatedly emphasized that he should try not to use Qin Liu’s help.
Now, they had been scared away by Qin Liu, but it would not be so easy to catch them again and find a way to break free from the Red Gate.
“Let’s go inside and move her to the bed.”
Qin Liu closed the door and pointed at the unconscious Bai Anting.
“Otherwise, if outsiders see you like this, they’ll definitely call the police on the spot.”
“Don’t slander me, I’m clearly a good person who saves the suffering.”
Liu Haoyu’s voice was somewhat muffled with the gas mask, and he was completely unconvincing when he said this.
However, the man didn’t want to stand around doing nothing.
He easily picked up the slender Bai Anting and walked into the bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, Liu Haoyu first placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then shifted his gaze towards the window.
The window glass had already shattered, but all the glass had fallen downstairs.
This meant that after enjoying Bai Anting’s terrified appearance, those fierce ghosts had entered the room through the window.
However, before they could enjoy Bai Anting, they saw Qin Liu, who had burst into the room.
Subsequently, these fierce ghosts, as if seeing a ghost, scrambled back the way they came and fled instantly, even smashing a human-shaped silhouette through the window, which was quite a miserable sight.
Qin Liu, however, seemed unaware of this. She even walked to the window and seemed a little puzzled by this running human-shaped silhouette.
The young girl tilted her head and asked in confusion.
“Where are the ghosts?”
