When Gu Wuji opened the door of the village chief’s house, the several people in the room were pleasantly surprised, aside from Xiao Cheng, who was so frightened that he had almost dropped his tea due to the shaking of his hands.
At this time, the village chief hadn’t come over yet, only the yes-man wife was there to entertain everyone. The thing that had shocked everyone, was that one of her arm seemed to have been injured, so she could only handle things with her other hand.
This undoubtedly made everyone feel a bit suspicious, and think of that ghost, whose arm has been injured by Gu Wuji before. But they also couldn’t take any action at this time, and could only sit on the chair while forcing themselves to stay calm, but they could no longer bear to directly look at the village chief’s wife again.
“It’s great that you’re all right.” Xiao Meng enthusiastically said to Gu Wuji, “We were worried all night.”
Of course, in everyone’s knowledge, they were all just looking at Gu Wuji alone, and Qi Yunxiu was just completely by pure coincidence.
Qi Yunxiu coldly snorted and found a place to sit.
“Thank you so much.” Gu Wuji looked at xiao Meng with a smile, “Have you guys encounter anything yesterday?”
“Well, we had originally planned to take a look around the village’s situation yesterday, but as we were were about to head back out, big brother Xiao found something amiss in time, so we hurriedly went back in…… The outside was submerged by a layer of white mist afterwards, which completely obscured the view.” Xiao Meng said, “You never came back, so we thought……”
But Gu Wuji noticed that they were lesser by one person, “What happened? Did that player-……”
“He died last night.” A man answered, showing a bit of fearful expression, “There were obviously two of us on night watch, but who knows what went wrong? I had unwittingly fallen asleep…… By the time I woke up, there was already a corpse in front of me!”
The people around fell into a fit of silence, the suggestion of having two people on night watch clearly didn’t have any effect at all, making them fear the arrival of the night.
This was still just the fourth day after all, and they still had to stay for three more days in this instance. Moreover, they still needed to face that ghost marriage ceremony with an unknown level of terribleness on the final day.
“How is this possible?……” Gu Wuji frowned. At the side, Qi Yunxiu’s expression had also became somewhat subtle.
If that bizarre thing they experienced was real, then the village chief and the other villagers should have been busy at the wedding scene. Yet someone in the village could still unexpectedly take action against the players?
Or was it true that what they had experienced yesterday was really nothing but an illusion?
“This is also an inevitable event…… but, at least Sun Shi and Qi Yunxiu had returned unscathed!” Xiao Cheng bit the bullet and said, then also smiled at Gu Wuji, “Yesterday, I told everyone that the two of them would be absolutely fine, to make everyone at ease…… Look, I didn’t lie, right? After all, it still isn’t the day when the ceremony is being conducted, so there shouldn’t be any too dangerous ordeals showing up.”
While saying this, Xiao Cheng was also feeling annoyed deep inside at the same time.
According to the information he obtained, there will occasionally be a period when the time and space of this instance will intersect, and the sudden appearance of the mist during the day was the sign that this will happen. Those who fail to take shelter before the fog sweeps over will be taken into the time when the ghost marriage was last held in this village.
The last time the ghost marriage was held, was actually not too long ago, but it had failed for some unknown reasons. The young people in the village had already dwindled much, and there weren’t even any women of appropriate age available. This was probably the curse of this village…… So, this was the reason why the village chief wanted to tightly hold onto the outsiders like them. As there were already no candidates suitable to be offered for this ghost marriage.
After being drawn into that space, getting out of that space would be even harder than reaching the sky. Although the information he obtained didn’t have any detailed explanation on this, but just by this tone alone, Xiao Cheng could naturally be able to comprehend just how terrible this matter was.
Seeing that Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu didn’t come back last night, Xiao Cheng had thought that he had succeeded, and those two guys, who were hindrances in his plan, was finally dead. But who knew that they would come back the next day like everything was alright? What kind of amazing items does these two guys have, ah!?
But it doesn’t matter, he’s still the only person who knows the truth about this village. He can be regarded as someone standing in an invincible position.
Xiao Cheng comforted himself in this way, with cold sweat dripping from his face. He still pretended to be kind, while conversing with Gu Wuji to ask about what happened to them last night.
The rest of the people also looked over attentively. They were really curious about this matter.
“Last night-……”
Just as Gu Wuji uttered these two words, the figure of the village chief suddenly appeared outside the room, which instantly made everyone shut their mouths.
The village chief still looked cheery, as if there wasn’t anything wrong at all, and even asked everyone after going in, “How have you all been these past few days in the village? The environment in our village is still good, right? Do you still want to stay for a few days more?”
Everyone felt speechless. Just staying in this village had already made them feel dejected, not to mention those hidden dangers. Only Xiao Cheng had dryly responded to the village chief.
The village chief obviously didn’t care about their reaction, as he continued on: “I don’t think it’s good to let our guests continue to wander around the village so aimlessly, so let me instruct someone to take you around, in order for you to develop the enthusiasm to participate in the ceremony on the last day.”
The players showed their resistance and were obviously really unwilling to listen to the words of the village chief. Heaven knows where they will end up in this kind of stroll!
But the village chief seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, as he added: “Of course, I will let the guide talk about the history of the village along the way, especially about the great mountain god. After all, this is what everyone cares about the most, am I right?”
Everyone immediately fell into a momentary silence. They didn’t want to go at all, but since they could gather some information about that mountain god, so it made them feel very hesitant.
But everyone was someone who had persisted to reach the intermediate instance, and would naturally be very courageous, knowing that only by throwing caution to the wind in order to investigate will they have clues for this matter, so not a single player chose to withdraw in the end.
When Gu Wuji opened the door of the village chief’s house, the several people in the room were pleasantly surprised, aside from Xiao Cheng, who was so frightened that he had almost dropped his tea due to the shaking of his hands.
