Chapter 84: 7th instance: That look in her eyes doesn’t look right at all! (part 1 of 4)

At dawn the next day, the sound of the system’s task completion notification were heard by several people.

As for those two male players, they were still unconscious at this time, and no one knows when they will regain consciousness. They really received such a huge fright not too long ago after all.

When Gu Wuji and the others had managed to find their location through following the sound, they saw these two male player hiding in the cabinet, and with froth almost coming out their mouths.

“What were they so insistent about? They would’ve been fine if they followed my advice to come out, yet they actually still insists in stubbornly staying there.” Gu Wuji was still very puzzled, “I really can’t figure out what they’re thinking. At the beginning, they even placed some things in our pockets. So, I thought they knew a lot.”

Lu yuanzhou: “……I personally think, I know much of the matter, right?”

Little Lu: “Maybe, they thought we were all ghosts, right?”

Gu Wuji: “……”

When they went into the hall, the two tied up ghosts had already shrunk in place, too frightened to speak. One of them is shockingly the corpse that Gu Wuji found in the tree outside, the other, is the corpse that fell down on the second floor where Lu Yuanzhou was in.

The latter had basically never left the second floor at all, and originally wanted to engage in hocus-pocus to frighten Lu Yuanzhou. Who would’ve thought that Lu Yuanzhou’s trump card, — That female ghost, had already hidden in the second floor much earlier, and had also very swiftly contained that ghost.

“Are these the fellows responsible for the happenings in the casino?” Little Lu inwardly sighed in relief and said: “Looking at it this way, this sideline task doesn’t seem to be that difficult at all.”

“You’re wrong.” Lu Yuanzhou explained, “This is actually still thanks to…… thanks to Meng Meng, who had contained that ghost downstairs. Otherwise, even we would not be able to handle these two guys together.”

“Oh?” Gu Wuji looked at the ghost on the ground, and softly said: “Is there something else here?”

That ghost’s scalp instantly tingled as it speedily asserted: “My words are absolutely true!”

“Take a look at this.” Lu Yuanzhou placed a note on the table. This written note was said to have been found by the fainted nightwatchman from some unknown place, “These two fellas were actually ghosts, who were previously hanged due to their inability to pay their very large debt in the casino. What’s more, their ability is to create illusions.”

“That’s right. This is also what I’ve discovered. This is indeed inside an illusion.” Gu Wuji nodded.

The ghost on the ground sighed in relief. He really has a psychological trauma over Gu Wuji! Heaven knows, how Gu Wuji had threatened him outside with a kitchen knife not too long ago. Gu Wuji’s unbearable expression when doing these things, had on the contrary, made this ghost suspect the abnormality in Gu Wuji!

Truth be told, Gu Wuji had left the casino’s ground before. Nonetheless, the discovery that the system hadn’t giving him a notification about failing the task, made him realized this point. The requirement in the sideline task is to not leave the casino’s ground after all. Since this is the case, this would mean that he had probably stepped into some sort of illusion.

“Moreover, their ability is probably to stimulate as well as magnify the deepest fear in our hearts.” Lu Yuanzhou voiced: “To begin with, these players, who’ve gone through so many instances, should no longer be frightened to this extent because of such a trivial matter.”

Little Lu: “…….” Can this still be considered as trivial matter? If it were him, he would’ve directly fainted in fright! Had it not been for Lu Yuanzhou taking the lead, he would’ve already been unable to stay steadfast long ago!

“According to these notes, a bit of sanity can still be maintained when encountering just one of the ghosts. However, having an encounter with both ghosts at the same time, would lead to the victims in talking gibberish.” Lu Yuanzhou said: “So I think, when these two ghosts shows up together, the terrible fantasies of the people in the illusion will reach the extremes, causing them to have a mental breakdown.”

“That truly is very dangerous.” Gu Wuji uttered with a frown, “I feel a little scared after listening.”

Little Lu. “……” No way, the two of you are so calm when encountering any sort of situation. Even if those two ghost had shown up at the same time, there’s no way you’d feel the slightest bit of fear, alright!

Speaking of which, what actually happened to that female ghost, they encountered upstairs, anyway? Was it also this ghost in disguise?

Little Lu felt very puzzled deep inside. He naturally didn’t know that it was actually sent out by Lu Yuanzhou, in order to trick that conspicuously suspicious male player…… But he didn’t expect for the other to immediately run away in fright.

The two ghosts couldn’t help but fall into silence. To have their unsavory past be exposed by others like this, really made them unable to hold onto their prestige anymore! If it weren’t for the presence of those two, who had fainted in fright, they would’ve simply started to doubt life.

“In this case, the matters seems to have also more or less been completed.” Gu Wuji looked at these two ghosts, “When daybreak comes, I will hand you guys over to the casino’s boss. We, law-abiding citizens, won’t do anything to ghosts without warrant after all.”

Little Lu: “……” Are you sure that the casino’s boss can handle these two beings?
