Chapter 71: 6th instance: Much worse than Xiao Cheng had envisage (part 1 of 3)

Gu Wuji was very perceptive this time, and immediately commended Qi Yunxiu. The red tinge that appeared on the latter’s face, clearly exposed his great happiness.

In an inconspicuous location, Qi Yunxiu handed the lantern over to Gu Wuji. After he came in contact with it, the system’s notification instantly sounded in his mind.

[Obtain item: White lantern. This white lantern is produced through a special method. It is rumored to be able to partially drive ghosts away, but will occasionally lure in some even more powerful ghosts as well. It’s proper use is generally for lighting.]

Gu Wuji couldn’t help but think whether there was any particular approach to change the red lantern as an item to be taken away…… But this should carry a really huge risk, which he really doesn’t want to test.

Qi Yunxiu also relayed the words of the village’s wife to Gu Wuji. Due to some unspeakably embarrassing reason, he did not include the friend part, but just mentioned that latter part, that seemed like an insult to the village chief.

Gu Wuji nodded. There was really nothing very useful in what was said, after all, all of them were already aware of the fact that the village chief was no longer a human being.

But from the looks of this, the village wife clearly knows a lot of this, and was also more inclined to take their side, so, maybe they can discover something from her.

The two returned to their place of residence, as the others were already waiting for them inside.

“I plan-, on going to the village chief’s house tonight and have a look.” Gu Wuji said: “The ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. So the village chief will surely do something for the completion of the ceremony this evening…… By following him, maybe some more clues related to the mainline mission can be discovered.”

“It makes sense.”Qi Yunxiu immediately voiced.

""

Everyone around originally felt that Gu Wuji’s words were very reasonable. But after hearing Qi Yunxiu speak out now, although they were in favor of this, but at the same time, they also felt that there seemed to be something slightly off. Was Qi Yunxiu originally this type of person before?

“Even if the village chief isn’t there, we can also have look around inside. There should presumably be a lot of useful things in the village chief’s house. Just like the notebook seen in Ah’ Ying’s memory before, there should also be one in the village chief’s house.” Gu Wuji muttered out loud irresolutely.

“It should be very likely, I believe.” Qi Yunxiu immediately followed.

Other players: “……” Hold on, this is already too obvious, alright? This echoing momentum, has already directly led to the total collapse of his image.

Is he really that cold-blooded evil star Qi Yunxiu, and not replaced by someone else?

“Of course, you guys are free to do something else, or you can stay in the house as well.” Gu Wuji added: “After all, it’s also difficult to have too many people follow along.”

Qi Yunxiu looked at the others coldly: “I think the two of us are sufficient enough. The others will definitely be hindrances if they follow along.”

Other players: “……”

As expected, Qi Yunxiu is still that Qi Yunxiu! Never expected that he might actually still be gay! Everyone couldn’t help but be somewhat disgruntled for a moment, feeling that such a good person like Gu Wuji had actually been thought of by Qi Yunxiu. He’s really thinks too beautifully!

But this was someone else’s business after all. Moreover, no one also had the guts to say this out loud, so they only nodded one after the other. Where would they have the courage to go out in the middle of the night with Qi Yunxiu, ah?

Xiao Cheng’s thoughts immediately turned, in fear that these two might do something. There were obviously just a few steps left until he can successfully pass this instance, which must absolutely not be destroyed by them! Killing these two together tonight would be the best choice.

So, Xiao Cheng bravely voiced out at once, “Can I come along too?”

Qi Yunxiu said: “What do you want to do?”

Under the receiving end of Qi Yunxiu’s cold gaze, Xiao Cheng inwardly rained curses on this damned gay, before turning to Gu Wuji with a sincere expression, “I’ve also managed to inquire a few things about the village chief before outside, which might be of some help this time. So, I should also go along with the both of you tonight, so as to avoid overlooking anything.”

Xiao Cheng had already spoken this much, so, Qi Yunxiu no longer said anything even when he couldn’t stand the sight of him. The three of them, then started to make preparations to set out tonight.

The others decided to be on standby inside the house, without any intention of heading out arbitrarily as well, the night was a very dangerous time after all. Maybe their head will be given away once they step out, so, it would be better to let the big bosses handle this things.

Night quickly arrived, and the mist also started to spread throughout the whole village.

A vast expanse of white mist could be seen from outside the widow, and only the lights from the red lanterns hanging on the buildings were vaguely visible, which exuded a strange and eerie feeling.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, the three immediately brought out their white lanterns, then finally stepped into the mist amid the admiring gazes of the other players.

Upon entering the mist, they felt an almost bone-chilling coldness seep in, which even seemed to freeze their breath. This mist clearly wasn’t an ordinary mist, but more of a substantial accumulation of negative energy.

The white lanterns they held, which seemed to be specially customized for this time, gave off a faint white light. Causing the negative energy in the area to keep a certain distance away from them, and never completely surrounded the group.

Xiao Cheng, who followed from behind, looked at the two persons ahead of him with an ice-cold gaze, as the corner of his mouth pulled into a sneer.

During nighttime, this village can definitely be regarded as a ghost village. By just relying on the things he had been secretly investigating here during these past few days, in addition to the arrangements made, would surely be sufficient enough to do away this Sun Shi and Qi Yunxiu several times!

Sensing that he was almost at the place he decided on before, Xiao Cheng took a deep breath, and took out an item noiselessly, which seems to look just like an ordinary ring. But the instant it was brought out, the ghosts in the area seemed to be faintly lured over by it.

Xiao Cheng undoubtedly knew that these ordinary ghosts would certainly be unable to handle those two men up ahead as well, but this was still just the first step.

Qi Yunxiu, who was walking up ahead suddenly sensed something wrong. He looked forward vigilantly, and faintly saw a shadow of a huge tree at the nearby fork in the road amid the mist, with a constantly swaying dark silhouette hanging on it’s branch.

Qi Yunxiu’s expression chilled, and immediately took out an item he had originally prepared.
