Chapter 44: 4th Instance (part 2 of 4)

“A space has already formed here.” Gu Wuji said: “The ghosts inside are not something we can cope with. We need to find the most important ghost in this space, in order for us to leave here.”

There were too many ghosts in this place, even if purification was used, he would probably have reached his limit as soon as he succeeds…… Which would be tantamount to courting death in this kind of situation at present.

What’s more, even if those ghosts were afraid of the hound’s breath in the group picture at the present time, but this breath would not last forever. So something must be quickly done.

“You’re right, but how should we find it?” A person plucked his courage and started speaking upon noticing that Gu Wuji didn’t seem to have the intention to kill them

“I naturally need to find someone who is familiar of this place.” Gu Wuji replied. Even though the criterion originally stated that the ghost control skill can only be put into use when alone, but that criterion appears to no longer be applicable these days. But he also did not know whether this had any connection to the increase in proficiency due to using it numerous times.

In the shocked gazes of the other people, a dark silhouette surprisingly walked out in a slow-moving pace from the mist. Stopping in front of Gu Wuji, these people even saw a bit of respectful meaning from the ghost’s dull eyes.

“Is there any way for me to be able to leave this place?” Gu Wuji directly spoke, “Or perhaps, you can take me to the most powerful ghost in this space.”

The ghost nodded, then headed back to the mist.

Gu Wuji then turned around.

The few remaining people looked at him with fear and trepidation. How can they still deal with malicious spirits in their current situation! Not to mention that once they stepped into the mist, even if they didn’t die they will surely lose half their life!

“Wait a moment. Gu-, Gu ye*, Just leave us here, okay!”

*grandfather: a respectful address in this circumstance

“That’s right, we will only be hindrances in such a dangerous place! You mustn’t bring us along, this is also for your safety, ah.”

“No, how can I do that sort of thing!” Gu Wuji looked at them, he even appeared to look somewhat offended, as he coldly declared, “How can I leave you here to wait for your deaths. It’s only natural for me to help you leave together. You mustn’t take your lives for granted! ”

These people: “……” What’s going on? Why were they suddenly lectured because of this issue!

Peng HaoCang, on the contrary, recalled Gu Wuji’s behavior in that previous instance. Hence, he wasn’t very opposed to this. He also had a feeling that Gu Wuji would still have a way to deal with the malicious spirit even if he run into it now.

Soon after, these people were dragged along by Gu Wuji. The group then followed the route of that ghost, and soon entered the mist.

This dense mist almost made it impossible for this group of people to see the situation ahead of them. If it were not because this group of people had been tied together, they might have already wandered of into different directions and would no longer be able to find one another.

The silence here was terrible, the shadowy silhouettes looming in the surroundings were the only thing they could see. But their vision were also obscured, only the hair-rising sensation of being constantly peered at filled everyone’s mind.

If not because of Gu Wuji leading the way, these ghosts must have already swarmed them!

It was in this moment, when Gu Wuji who had been leading them suddenly came to a stand still, without any signs of movement.

The other people were almost frightened to death, but there was no way to escape as well. Even if they weren’t tied up, hastily charging into this ghost tide would only let them die in vain as well.

“What happened? Is Gu Wuji still human? What does he want us to do?”

“Hold on, do you guys still remember? About the tip we found while looking for supplies before.” A person suddenly spoke up, “The tip informed us that we will have a narrow chance of escape once we stepped into the mist…… Not only because the mist holds a large amount of ghosts, but also because this mist will create a phantom.”

…………

……

Inside the hall, everyone was watching the screen in front of them with rapt attention.

The current progress of this hunting has completely deviated from all their previous line of thought. Making them very curious, on how, this prey will continue to persevere under the target of the island’s owner till the end.

An attendant step forward at this time, giving a comment on the scene in the screen, “This is the most dangerous area in the mist. It will delve into the memory of the person, and construct a phantom image of the closest being in accordance to the person’s memory. Moreover, during this breathing space, the person inside will be unwittingly confused, their logical thinking will grow dull, and will be unable to detect the problem. Finally, it will take the opportunity of the other person’s complete inattentiveness, who will be completely swallowed by this mist, and become one of the ghosts inside the mist.”

“This is actually quite interesting.” A person nodded.

“The only way to get out of the mist is to not be confused by this illusions. This is naturally easy to say, but there are only a few who can actually accomplish this.”

The screen clearly showed the current situation that is happening inside the mist.

The other people who were looking at Gu Wuji situation with fear and trepidation, probably didn’t pose the slightest threat due to being tied up. This might probably be the reason why the mist was mostly concentrated on Gu Wuji’s side.

A figure gradually appeared under everyone’s line of sight.

Which soon after stupefied them.

“Isn’t-, isn’t this mist supposed to form the person which that person subconsciously feel closest to?”

“This isn’t right! Something wrong must have happened……”

Even those guests in the hall were at a loss of words the moment they saw this scene.

The existence that ultimately appeared before Gu Wuji, was actually —— A young man with his head lowered.

His facial features were obscured, but the blood continuously flowing out from his body, in addition to the chest that had almost been completely pierced through…… This should be a dead person, no, to be more precise, a ghost.
