Chapter 54: He finally saw…… (part 4 of 4)

After exiting the director’s office, the group noticed that the black mist had already dispersed, revealing the real appearance of the hallway. There were a lot of blood splashes everywhere, sounds that vaguely seemed like ghost wails could also be heard, and were no better than before, when it was full of mist.

The monster that had been closely following Gu Wuji suddenly became excited, and rushed forward. It stopped in front of a ward’s door, then rammed it open and rushed inside.

Hong ge and xiao Liu burst out in cold sweat. Just as the director had said, looking for that ward was really a very easy matter. But the greatest reliance they had around them went over to the opponent’s side. So how should they handle this malicious spirit?……

No, they can just run away so long as they can grasp the actual truth, and so long as they can draw out the time when that moment comes.

The moment the group set foot into the door, they instantly noticed that young man in the middle of the room, who had reached a hand out to pet that monster’s head. Who then turned to face them with a smile, “You’re finally come? It sure took you quite a long while, right?”

Hong ge and xiao Liu immediately froze in the spot, “Jin-, Jin Yu?!”

Even though they had really heard of incidents wherein a malicious spirit would pretend to be a human in some instances. But in this team of theirs, no matter how they think about it, the one who appeared least human was Gu Wuji, okay? Jin Yu, on the contrary, always had a low sense of existence.

“It really is you.” Gu Wuji sighed. In truth, he had already experienced a malicious spirit masquerading as his teammate once before. But he still failed to notice it this time……

Thinking about it now, Jin Yu was the one who discovered the various graffiti before. Even though he appears just like an ordinary newcomer, but he could unwittingly influence everyone’s course of actions every time. The fear towards that monster was nothing but just on the surface as well.

When he went up to rescue Hong ge, the mishap that occurred to xiao Liu and the other teammate were also in his presence…… The combination of all these thing, was already enough to arouse his suspicion.

""

Furthermore, for a long time now, the other ghosts had completely been unable to say this man’s name. They know very well who would be affected by this name. That’s the reason why the others were always unable to speak of this matter.

But he never expected the other side to take the initiative to reveal himself.

As for that man who disappeared with the other person, there was no need for the three of them to think about it. Just keeping their lives was already quite difficult task.

“Why, did you keep giving us clues? Had you taken action before, who knows how many of us would have already died, right?” Gu Wuji calmly walked over with his gaze fixed on the other.

“Ha ha ha ha, kill you? I never had the intention to do such things.” Jin Yu looked at him with a smile, “I was simply interested in you guys, that’s all. Don’t you find it interesting? From the people in your group…… maybe I can find my inspiration. But how can ordinary people and ordinary things give me inspiration?”

“So I stayed close to you guys. It truly was very interesting, ah.” Jin Yu expressed: “But the one who interested me the most, was naturally you.”

Gu Wuji: “……”

“The people who appear in my paintings are bound to die. But because of you, all of them were spared from this tragic destiny.” Jin Yu softly voiced.

“Do you know how much I like you? I feel so lucky to have met you. Could this have been the favor of the goddess of fate? Of course, I was also really worried, worried that you would die along the way……” His face suddenly darkened and his gaze became extremely ice-cold, “In that case, I would never forgive those who do so.”

Hong ge and xiao Liu were filled with fear, and inevitably understood a bit of why that monster was very attached to Gu Wuji.

This pet was actually following it’s owner’s will!

Even if they want to run away, but after turning around, they unexpectedly saw that the mist had gathered behind them once again. Without a doubt… going out at this time would only lead to the single word of death.

Gu Wuji said with a frown: “So, you now want me to be in your painting?”

The instant these words were said, he had already directly charged forward. The number of ghosts that had been called upon a moment ago, had also appeared around him, and instantly rushed over to attack the other side as well.

But the instant he came in contact with the opponent’s body, Gu Wuji only felt as if he had rushed into a mist. Not a bit of physical entity could be captured, the surrounding ghost had confusingly scattered as well. But Gu Wuji lost his balance and stumbled forward.

A hand reached out to Gu Wuji and prevented him from falling to an empty space. As Gu Wuji reached out to open the box that contained the shadow ghost, another hand had reached out from the empty space to block his hand.

Even Gu Wuji, was unable to take any action because of that single hand. A feeling similar to having to contend against the world appeared just like before. That he couldn’t even resist the opponent no matter how much strength he exerts.

Jin Yu, whose figure had reappeared close by, looked at him with a fervid gaze in his eyes.

But Gu Wuji knew very well, that gaze was similar to a chef looking at some precious ingredient, or the gaze of a hunter looking at a rare prey.

“Give up. It’s impossible for you to hurt me, so just give up, okay. I don’t want you getting injured at this point of time.”

Gu Wuji became disheartened. Could this malicious spirit not have any weakness? He couldn’t even think of any items that could be used at this moment.

“It’s now the time for the curtain to be completely drawn open.”

As Jin Yu’s voice fell, everyone suddenly felt a force pulling their bodies. Only then did they come to realize, that what they were standing on was not a carpet at all, but a blank piece of drawing paper from the very start!

……

As he was feeling disoriented, Gu Wuji seemed to see that windowed room again.

Could it be said, that this kind of illusion would occur every time he gets pulled into a portrait?

But this illusion was quite realistic.

That young man wearing a white shirt was still painting with his back on him. But this time around, he seemed to be able to have a much clearer view of the content the other side was painting.

He finally saw……

Gu Wuji swiftly opened his eyes.
