Chapter Eighty-Nine: Tamed
Because Liu Haoyu couldn’t see Qin Liu, he didn’t notice Qin Liu’s confused little expression at the moment.
Or rather, even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t have said much.
Just as the Black Book said, to be safe, Qin Liu’s current state was quite good.
And who said that strength must always be displayed?
When Qin Liu stood there, which ghost would dare to approach?
Wasn’t this the most direct manifestation of strength?
Bai Anting was currently in a coma, a state very similar to Old Wang’s.
To be safe, Liu Haoyu still placed the Calming Talisman on her forehead.
After placing the Calming Talisman, the young girl’s expression improved a lot, but even so, she still couldn’t wake up.
After placing the talisman and checking several times, Liu Haoyu couldn’t help but guess a possibility.
Could it be that… she encountered that red iron door?
Only when encountering the red iron door would such strange symptoms appear, as if her soul had been snatched away.
“Mmm…”
As Liu Haoyu analyzed, Bai Anting let out a pained groan, then slowly opened her eyes.
Then she saw a terrifying man wearing a gas mask and holding a fire axe sitting by her bed.
And speaking with a very deep and terrifying tone, while saying words of great concern.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Can I say I’m not okay?”
Bai Anting secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She looked at Liu Haoyu’s murderer-like attire and couldn’t help but raise her hand to test him.
“I think, Mr. Murderer, you don’t have to wear that mask…”
Who could understand?
She had just been scared unconscious by a fierce ghost, and the first thing she saw upon waking up was such a frightening outfit.
Could anyone’s heart withstand this?
“I’ll say it again, I’m not a murderer, I’m a good person.”
“Your outfit doesn’t look like a good person at all.”
Bai Anting’s condition was much better than Liu Haoyu had expected.
Liu Haoyu had originally thought she would be like Old Wang, completely losing her sanity and becoming that foolish appearance.
As it turned out, she was still quite spirited.
And even Liu Haoyu had to lament one thing.
That was that Bai Anting’s eight characters were truly strong.
A mortal body, after a tour in the haunted Longshan Vocational High School, was chased back home by those fierce ghosts.
Despite this situation, she was still unharmed.
Moreover, the young girl’s recovery speed was also very fast.
After confirming that the murderer in front of her was not a fierce ghost, she even excitedly said:
“Just now, when I was unconscious, Mr. Murderer, did you have a great battle with those fierce ghosts for three hundred rounds, to the point where the Great Dao was obliterated, and then you rescued me from them?”
“…”
Regarding this, how could Liu Haoyu explain?
He couldn’t just say that a more terrifying red-clothed fierce ghost entered the house, and then all the other ghosts were scared away, right?
This statement always felt like it couldn’t suppress this delinquent young girl.
Thus, Liu Haoyu said:
“You should be fortunate. If I had come any later, you would have been made into a cream puff by the fierce ghosts.”
“This…”
Bai Anting’s expression froze. She really hadn’t thought of that possibility. After Liu Haoyu said it, she became a little scared.
“Probably… no one would have an appetite for a figure like mine, right?”
“Some people won’t even let go of dirty female vagrants, let alone you?”
Liu Haoyu said with a mocking smile.
“Never underestimate the evil of human nature, and those evil ghosts have pushed the evil side of their hearts to the extreme. In their hands, you wouldn’t even be able to die.
Have you read supernatural novels? Do you know about ghost infants?
After they are done with you, the ghost infant will tear your stomach apart bit by bit from the inside, and you will remain conscious until the ghost infant crawls out of your body.”
After this speech, this supernatural streamer completely became docile.
Her personality was a bit similar to Deng Xiaolin’s.
If Deng Xiaolin was a lively and energetic young girl, Bai Anting was more like a tomboy, open and straightforward, capable of being a brother.
But the common point between them was their tendency to court death, not knowing pain without suffering a lesson.
Liu Haoyu’s words were very vivid, and the terrifying scene appeared in Bai Anting’s mind… making the young girl force out a reluctant smile.
“Haha… I feel like you know a lot about these things, Mr. Murderer.”
No matter how foolish she was, Bai Anting now realized that the man wearing the gas mask was not a firefighter or a murderer at all.
He was a Ghost Exorcist who specialized in catching ghosts, or in other words… he was a Daoist!
Moreover, after Liu Haoyu’s words, Bai Anting’s back was covered in cold sweat, and thinking about her entering Longshan Vocational High School made her even more fearful.
And then, thinking of those fierce ghosts clinging to her window, she asked a bit fearfully:
“Then… will those ghosts still chase after me?”
No one wants to encounter such terrifying things again after falling asleep.
The current Bai Anting could only place her hopes on Liu Haoyu.
“Or Mr. Murderer… ah no, Mr. Daoist, do you have any ghost-exorcising treasures or the like? If nothing else, give me a peachwood sword or something.”
But Liu Haoyu just shook his head and said:
“I do have items that ward off evil, but I can’t guarantee that they can defend against those fierce ones. As for peachwood swords, only professionals can use these things. If ordinary people use them, let alone fighting ghosts, even committing suicide would be difficult. It’s more practical to use a fire axe with talismans.”
“Uh… I can’t even lift the fire axe.”
Liu Haoyu knew very well that those fierce ghosts had not given up on Bai Anting. They were still thinking about the young girl and trying to drag her into hell.
Therefore, under such circumstances, all Liu Haoyu could do was to protect her first, and then find a way to eliminate those fierce ghosts.
Only then could this crisis be resolved from the source.
Hearing Liu Haoyu’s words, Bai Anting’s heart sank.
Her reluctant smile slowly faded.
“Is there really… no way?”
“Of course there is.”
Liu Haoyu handed Bai Anting her mobile phone, sent her an address, and said:
“To be safe, you should go and stay there for a week. I’ll handle everything else.”
Bai Anting saw the location on her phone.
It was a folk custom shop. She and her parents had bought things there before, but it didn’t seem right to just go and stay there so easily.
Besides, she didn’t know anyone there…
“I’m going alone?”
In response, Liu Haoyu continued:
“I’ll take you there. Tell your parents you’re going to stay with a friend named Deng Xiaolin for a week. As for the folk custom shop, Deng Xiaolin won’t make things difficult for you.”
“…Understood.”
After saying that, Liu Haoyu took out a talisman and restored the window to its original state. Bai Anting packed a few clothes, and then the two of them went downstairs together.
