Chapter 86: 7th instance: That is, someone who has always been waiting for him. (part 3 of 4)

Gu Wuji held the other’s hand, which was as bone-chilling as a corpse no matter how he touches it, and directly used his healing skill upon this hand, — Come to speak of it, it’s also such a convenient skill. Otherwise, Gu Wuji would still have needed to think about from where he’d have to search for the bandage in the end.

The female ghost almost failed to make any reaction. All the injuries on her body had been completely healed. Now, she could simply be considered to be a bit livelier than when she still had those injuries.

The female ghost was completely struck dumb in an instant.

Gu Wuji gave her a smile, “Does it feel any better now?”

The female ghost touched the places where those injuries had originally been with amazement, which originally brought her so much suffering. The injuries that were seemingly impossible to heal, surprisingly didn’t leave even the slightest trace at this moment.

“It looks like it has healed pretty well.” Gu Wuji sighed in relief as well. He had initially still been worrying about whether his healing ability can be used on ghost. Now it seems, that it was also very feasible.

Female ghost: “??” But, she had originally been all set to kill this human being, ah!

“Now that you are well, can you tell me what happened to you?” Gu Wuji looked at the female ghost with an inquisitive gaze.

After being healed, the attitude of the female ghost simply took a 180 degree turn. Although these injuries will still reappear sooner or later as it is interconnected with her resentment. But this rare experience of not feeling any pain on her body, was also good enough for her to have a whole new level of respect to Gu Wuji.

“Of course I can. It’s been a very long time since I’ve also had a proper conversation with someone, and it really make me miss it a bit as well.”

……

At this time, Lily was holding a parchment notebook with shaky hands, and was skimming through it for any information without rest.

This is a notebook, with information about this instance, she previously got a hold of from another place. It’s actually just a diary of a servant, who had worked in this castle for many years. Most of the contents were very trivial. Written here were about what sort of work he does every day.

Generally, after asking the villagers, the players will mistakenly assume that it was only after the recent change of lord did all those various strange things occur, and will of course, subconsciously think that this instance’s villain BOSS is the castle’s lord.

But from what the servant, who had worked in this castle for several decades, had said, it is of a completely different matter!

These strange things had once happened several decades ago as well, and only when a new lord was appointed at that time, did everything gradually calm down. Moreover, at that time, the lord had also invited many villagers into the castle to attend the banquet. However, only a very few of those villagers was able to make it out alive.

It was only after several decades of calmness as well, did these current problems suddenly break out. But due to a foreboding fear to something, the old man, who knew of what happened at the time, was resistant in talking about it. Moreover, both the middle-aged people and younger one’s were clueless. That’s the reason why, it is also impossible for the players, who had asked around about these matters, to gain a thorough understanding of the matter.

If Lily hadn’t been lucky enough to assist that old man in completing a few matters, the other party wouldn’t have told her a few things pertaining to this notebook and the castle either.

Of course, there’s no way Lily would’ve been willing to share this information with other people.

The reason why that servant, who had already become an old man, was able to leave the castle and continue to stay alive, was also due to him being someone, who never courts disaster and his lack of curiosity. Thus, he also didn’t know too many things. But the few things revealed in his words, was sufficient enough for Lily, who had ample experience in the instances, to guess a lot of things.

That female ghost was probably a villager, who had died during the previous banquet. Her soul wandering around in this place, was also not by chance, but was rather something that had been expected by those perpetrators in the castle…… To speak bluntly, she is a part of the sacrifice.

During this past several decades, the female ghost hadn’t rested at all either, and would frequently knock on the door of some servants. The servant, who opened the door at the beginning, naturally had an immediate death. The later servants, who have experienced this as well, chose not to pay any attention to her, as this female ghost will naturally leave after not getting any response.

As for this place, where the female ghost lingers around the most, none of the servants in the castle dares to set foot here upon nightfall.

Lily knows, that tonight was unlike those nights. The female ghost will certainly come and choose to kill one of them!

This time around, if it wasn’t because Gu Wuji had selflessly come out to help, then the person chosen by the female ghost would’ve been her. But if Gu Wuji really died because of this, then she would never be able to forgive herself!

At this moment, Lily finally riffled through to a certain page at long last. The moment she laid eyes on this page, her eyes immediately brightened with joy, “This is it! So long as there’s this, it will certainly be able to stop that female ghost. Meng Meng, she’s definitely going to be alright……”

…………

……

The scene inside the room was completely different with the tragic death in other people’s imagination.

Gu Wuji and the female ghost, one person and one ghost, were having a conversation in what practically could be considered as a harmonious atmosphere.

“So it was actually like this?” Gu Wuji nodded while listening to the female ghost, with a look of implacable hatred, “These people are really too much. How can they just leave their companion and escape on their own? I dislike this kind of people the most!”

According to the female ghost, when she was killed by a ghost she came across in a room in this place, not a single one of her companions had actually been willing to extend a helping hand.

However, they were not players, who knew that this is an instance, but were rather a group of very close friends. They originally came to this castle thinking that they could have a great time in the banquet, but who’d have thought that she would meet such a tragic end? This also made her aware of the plastic affection* between friends. No wonder why the resentment of the female ghost was so deep.

*fake feelings

The female ghost looked at Gu Wuji with admiration in her eyes. Of course, she had also witnessed first-hand the scene of Gu Wuji’s lack of hesitancy in sacrificing himself in order to save his companion as well, and this made Gu Wuji’s words feel even more sincere.

If a stranger had come over and casually said such words, the female ghost would’ve definitely think that this is a perfunctory remark and directly kill the other.

“That’s right. The others can be disregarded, but only that person, is someone I can never forgive.” The female ghost’s voice was full of complicated emotions.

Gu Wuji felt that there must certainly be some high degree of love-and-hate involved. So, he was a little careful in giving a response to these words, so as to avoid accidentally provoking any of the other’s ire.

After all, for a lot of people, the object of that love-and-hate relationship can only be scolded by themselves, someone else’s scolding might provoke their anger.

The topic naturally continued to advance in this matter. The female ghost mentioned quite a lot of things, but her knowledge about the matters were also very one-sided.
