Chapter 72: 6th instance: Echoes of happy laughter and cheerful voices in the haunted house (part 4 of 4)

Xiao Cheng quickly revealed most of the things he knew. After all, neither of these two persons were someone that could be easily dealt with. They might be able to pick-out something wrong with what he said, so it would be much safer to say more.

Especially the bit of information he obtained from a high-ranking player. He even said it directly, in order to prevent these two from not believing him.

Of course, most of the things Xiao Cheng knew, had, at this time, already been more or less completely known by Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu. As for the matter of the most valuable escape method, this made Gu Wuji frown.

“It looks like you had been deceived.” Gu Wuji concluded.

“What?” Xiao Cheng looked at him in surprise.

“Literally.” Gu Wuji replied, “I’ve also come across players like this before. Who mistakenly believed that the information they got from others were true, but almost lost their life in the end.”

In particular, the information given by the other party were real, but with a mix of false information, making it impossible to guard against.

Until now, Gu Wuji still couldn’t understand for what purpose those people, who gave the false information had. But to think that those high-ranking players would do such things in reality…… was maybe to use these low-level players for something. Moreover, they even made those exploited people think that they had obtained a huge advantage.

Furthermore, he felt that there was something off with the truth about this instance that Xiao Cheng believed in.

After all, Xiao Cheng mentioned that the reason this village became like this, was completely because the grievances of the murdered bride had contaminated the mountain god. But Gu Wuji believed that the girl he came across at the beginning was very likely the first bride…… He’s completely unconvinced that the villain boss was the female ghost in wedding dress, who had saved him.

Although Xiao Cheng didn’t say anything due to his situation at this time, but his gaze had revealed his inner thoughts, of not believing Gu Wuji’s words at all.

After all, Xiao Cheng had relied on the information he received to survive through these several days. If he hadn’t been accidentally exposed and fell into such a situation right now, he would still have continued to live freely and happily.….. Xiao Cheng didn’t believe that anything would happen to him.

Gu Wuji merely intended to remind him in passing. He then opened the door soon after, to fulfill his promise in letting Xiao Cheng go.

As soon as Xiao Cheng was released, he swiftly hurried away with a lantern at hand, for fear that Gu Wuji and the other would renegade their promise. Who knows what they might do to him afterwards?

“Aren’t you worried that he might do something again later?” Qi Yunxiu would never doubt Gu Wuji’s words, “Since he trusts in that information so much, he might come to hinder us.”

“He would never have that chance.” Gu Wuji replied.

Qi Yunxiu looked up in surprise, only then did he notice that the feeling that the mist in the vicinity exuded was different from before.

“According to Xiao Cheng, you will be drawn into an illusion once you enter the strange mist. So he should now be experiencing what we went through the other day.”

Gu Wuji had also just found out once the door was opened, and had originally wanted to warn the other. But who knew that Xiao Cheng would run away so quickly.…..

In accordance to the difficulty of that strange illusion, Xiao Cheng was bound to meet his doom.

Thinking about it this way, although Xiao Cheng cheated them into entering this murder house before, but he had also coincidentally helped them by doing so. Otherwise, they would have already been drawn into that illusion halfway through the village chief’s residence, with no reassurance whether they can still make it out live.

Qi Yunxiu immediately closed the door, “There’s no other choice left. But to stay in this house until daybreak.”

The group of ghosts in the room that had initially been able to breath a sigh of relief suddenly fell into silence, that even the ghost, which was forcibly brought in by Gu Wuji before, had a feeling of fellow sufferers empathizing with each other towards the group of ghosts in this room.

Awhile later……

“Boss, please have a seat. Ah, this chair hadn’t been unused for  a long while, it’s a bit dirty. Let me clean it up for you.”

“Come, come rest here. Since we don’t have any food for the living here, let me just give you a massage!”

These group of ghosts immediately became incredibly accommodating, and quickly cleaned up this room, lest these two fierce living persons feel uncomfortable.

This murder house suddenly became bustling with activity, with echoes of happy laughter and cheerful voices, and was completely incompatible with the surrounding houses.

——

Gu Wuji unwittingly fell asleep.

In the midst of grogginess, he suddenly felt like he was walking upon that misty road again.

Just like with that previous dream, he seemed to be among the long entourage. But due to the excessively thick mist, Gu Wuji was completely unable to see the appearances of the others around him.

He was well aware that his current situation wasn’t good at all, but he couldn’t think straight at all, as his mind was in a state of confusion. So, he could only subconsciously follow the entourage.

Where were they heading to? Could they be headed to the mountain god’s place?

Thinking of the mountain god, Gu Wuji suddenly became clear-headed. He then took another look, to where the other people were, and saw skeletons with vacant expressions walking forward.

Even Gu Wuji at this time had cold sweat trickling down his forehead. It’s quite obvious that in supernatural instance like this, even the dreams can have an effect in reality.

If he really keeps moving forward like this, he’s bound to die without a known cause in reality, just like those other players that had been sucked dry before.

Gu Wuji stopped his steps. The skeletons around him seemed to have sensed something, as they, one by one, turned to look at him.

Being gazed at by those black sockets could completely paralyze people in fear. Although a lone skeleton was nothing, but to have so much like this, was already pass the point a player could handle.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Gu Wuji’s hand.

""

“Follow me.”

He turned around, and saw the back view of a red figure.

It was that female ghost in wedding dress, who had repeatedly saved him.
