The group clearly hadn’t moved at all, but that tree had become much closer to them, as if this tree was capable of moving itself.
In almost a blink of an eye, a sinister-looking face appeared before everyone, and immediately drew close to the nearest person, who was Qi Yunxiu, “My death was so miserable, ah……”
Qi Yunxiu used his other eye to coldly stare at this ghost.
The ghost stilled, then chose to shift his gaze towards the nearby Gu Wuji, “My death was so miserable……”
Gu Wuji looked at him in surprise, “It’s you.”
This ghost had unexpectedly turned out to be that ghost Gu Wuji had originally caught when they entered that strange village yesterday.
Xiao Cheng: “???” Tell me, how many more freaking ghosts in this village are you still acquainted with?!
Had it not been for personally witnessing Gu Wuji’s usage of items, then Xiao Cheng would have already been skeptical whether he was a ghost that’s pretending to be a player.
In spite of this, the ghost looked at Gu Wuji with a gaze similar to looking at a stranger, and apparently had no idea what he was talking about. It then opened it’s mouth to take a bite–
And was subsequently given a punch by Gu Wuji on the face.
After seemingly coming to a realization about just what kind of demons these two people in front were, it immediately turned around with the intention of fleeing, but failed to remember that the noose on it’s neck was still connected to the tree.
A short while later, this ghost had been caught by Gu Wuji once again.
Seeing Gu Wuji’s skillful movements in tying up the ghost, couldn’t help but make Xiao Cheng directly burst in cold sweats.
“Having met again, can also considered as fate.” Gu Wuji said: “It looks like you had a lot of improvements compared to before…… Do you really not have even a bit of impression about me?”
This frightened ghost replied while trembling with fear and trepidation: “I really don’t, ah! This is really the first time I saw you! I swear!”
“Is that so?” Gu Wuji furrowed his brows after sensing that this ghost didn’t seem to be lying at all.
He then became even more certain that what he and Qi Yunxiu had entered before might be some kind of illusion created based on a certain point in the past, rather than a certain period of time in the real past.
Although everything inside the illusion was very realistic-looking, but it had no connection with reality at all. The only thing it does, was to deliberately make things difficult for players like them, in addition to providing clues to some extent.
As for the rope Gu Wuji was able to bring out from within….. Taking out something from an illusion, even if it’s an individual wasn’t an issue at all. Since a supernatural instance could never be inferred by common sense, and was more of a mystical system.
“Then, do you still remember, when the last ghost marriage was held? As well as when you become more intelligent?”
“How did you know-……” The ghost had just spoken when it increasingly felt a strange uncertainty to this human, so it immediately answered: “The last ghost marriage was held a month ago. I also happened to change at that time, because of having absorbed a lot of negative energy, which was also the time I began to regain clarity.”
“You’re not lying are you? How could your intelligence possibly rise this much in just a short span of a month!” Qi Yunxiu looked at this ghost coldly, and threateningly said: “If there’s still something you’re hiding from us, although Sun Shi might be a good person and will probably not care about you, but don’t think I’ll let you slip away.”
Ghost: “……” Is this person called Sun Shi really a good person?! He obviously feels a bit more terrifying than Qi Yunxiu!
“I’ve said everything! I really didn’t lie.” The flustered ghost then started to speak: “That ghost marriage, although I also have no idea what had happened, but it seems to have been a failure…… Afterwards, the negative energy in the village became even denser, and the ghosts also became more and more stronger.”
“So that’s it……”
“So the people in the village became very anxious, and immediately decided to hold another ghost marriage after a few weeks. The failure or success of this ceremony is apparently related to the future of this village. Which you outsiders happened to unfortunately chance upon.” The ghost hastily added as well, in order to prove itself, “In other words, this is also your misfortune.”
“If that was a month ago, then all of this would have also made sense. That village looks only subtly different from the present. Not only do the villagers look about the same as now, the time period doesn’t seem to have gone for more than a decade as well……” Gu Wuji nodded, then soon after said in a somewhat regretful tone, “Had there not been any problems in this village, then it would have been nice to let some ghosts come here to study. In order to be able to achieve this much growth in just a month.”
Xiao Cheng: “……” What the heck are you saying?! Moreover, why is Qi Yunxiu also looking at Sun Shi with an approving expression? Don’t you think that there’s something wrong here!?
Xiao Cheng couldn’t resist from inwardly cursing this gay Qi Yunxiu for being unable to think properly. Fortunately, he would soon be able to break away from this two guys.
As to Gu Wuji and the other’s interference, it had already made Xiao Cheng apprehensive. He didn’t expect them to already be so close to the actual truth. But this being the case, then the more he must stop these two persons from investigating any further!
Gu Wuji was still pondering over this matter at the side. Thinking about it this way, the reason of the failure of the ghost marriage should be related to the girl in the bridal sedan chair. But he still had no idea of her real identity up to now. In all likelihood, she should be a key figure, in order to deal with the mountain god.
At least, the other party had helped them in that illusion, and also bore no malice. So, the other party must be a good person.
Moreover, in order to find out about the other party, it would be best to get that notebook with such information written on it. But since they cannot go straight into the cave rashly, so now, they can only hope that a similar thing was also placed in the village chief’s residence.
Gu Wuji said: “It’s getting late, let’s keep moving.”
Qi Yunxiu nodded, but then felt something off, as if they were missing one person.
“Xiao Cheng has disappeared.” Gu Wuji frowned, “When did this happen? He still seemed to have been following behind us just a while ago…… Could he have been unsuspectingly taken away by a ghost?”
“Don’t worry about him, it would still be considered a good thing even if this person is gone.” Qi Yunxiu sneeringly said, especially since he had long been unable to stand the sight of Xiao Cheng. The other party belonged to the kind of hypocritical person he loathed the most…… Acting like a good person on the surface, but all the things he does were actually just in order to use others for his own benefit.
“No, we need to look for him.” Gu Wuji reasoned: “More importantly, if that ghost is really this powerful, then we will still have to face it sooner or later.”
Qi Yunxiu naturally wouldn’t refute Gu Wuji’s words, and said at the speed of light, “You’re right. If we don’t take care of Xiao Cheng now, it would be troublesome if he died and became a ghost as well. So we must deal with it immediately.”
The bystander ghost: “……”
