“That said, you have no idea either on what really happened in this castle, because you’ve been trapped and unable to leave in this floor area for this several decades.” Gu Wuji contemplated on this, “But you’re able to realize that there’s an extremely terrifying existence in this castle. Moreover, if that existence awakens, everyone here will definitely die?”
This instance’s villain BOSS should be the blood kin ghost lord. But all aspects of the details, reveals a feeling that there’s more to the truth than this.
The female ghost immediately nodded, with a slight look of foreboding fear, “More importantly, the breath of that terrifying existence is recently getting stronger and stronger. It’s also because of this, that I’m in a hurry to leave. After all, how could I possibly die in this place before finding her…… A voice in my subconscious tells me, that so long as I kill someone in this place, I will then be able to finally leave this place.”
“I believe that voice is right.” Gu Wuji irresolutely muttered out loud: “After you’ve really killed someone in this place, that person will, in all likelihood take your place. Since you’ll no longer exist in this place, that will naturally be considered as ‘leaving this place’.”
After hearing him say this, the female ghost seemed to feel a bit of lingering fear, as she promptly said: “You’re right, I was also vaguely aware of this point…… It’s just that, before I saw you, my mind was so muddled, and wasn’t able to think at all. I absolutely can’t leave like this now, before asking the reason why she left me behind.”
The female ghost remembered something of the past once more, and seemed to both cherish and slightly detest it, in addition to feeling sad and painful…… What kind of feelings were this really, for her to be able to persist for more than ten years.
Gu Wuji immediately surmised the current situation. The muddleheaded state of this female ghost before, is presumably what the former perpetrators were really hoping for. But, who would’ve thought, that this female ghost had an obsession of seeking the truth of the matter from her companion, which enabled her to barely keep her consciousness.
No, this might not just be a companion. Thinking about the werewolf girl he met before, Gu Wuji felt that the spirit of engaging lily and such, might’ve been passed down in this village.
That guide previously said that two people were not allowed to stay together, this might’ve been to avoid touching upon this female ghost’s deep pain and guard against her indiscriminate killing, and should probably be the reason for this taboo…… The more Gu Wuji thought, the more plausible this really felt.
There would occasionally be some times, when Gu Wuji can very quickly pick up on the feelings between other people.
“But there’s no way your companion can still be alive until now, right?” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but cautiously ask.
“No, I can still feel her soul within the confines of this castle.” The female ghost eyes was firm, and then directed a look of plea to Gu Wuji, “Now, I can only request for you to take me to her. In return, I will do my best to keep you safe in this castle.”
[Active sideline task: Female ghost’s wish.]
[The female ghost you encountered in this dilapidated castle, appears to bear a certain unforgettable obsession. Please, fulfill her wish.]
Gu Wuji was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that he would be able to once again activate a sideline task so soon.
Based on previous experience, it seems that, not doing the sideline will not have any influence to the mainline task either. But doing so, can give a better comprehension about the matters of the entire instance. Of course, in that Isolated Island Battle Royal instance, Gu Wuji completely didn’t expect that doing a sideline task would involve the truth of the entire instance……
Of course, according to Gu Wuji’s character, even if this isn’t a sideline task, he would still be willing to help the other. But, since the person, that the female ghost is searching for, is still inside the castle, then that individual had certainly become a ghost as well…… What truly happened to these people?
At the moment when the two people shook hands for having reached a friendly cooperation, a violent blast suddenly sounded from the doorway.
The female ghost couldn’t help but frown. From the very moment she entered this room, this area should’ve already turned into a separate space. So, how could there still be someone capable of breaking in now……
In the next second, the door suddenly slammed open, and Lily’s figure suddenly appeared outside the door. She surprisingly even had a sharp knife pressed against her wrist, as she yelled at the person inside with a life and death struggle momentum, “Let her go! Otherwise, I’ll–”
Lily’s words immediately stuck to her throat after seeing that harmonious atmosphere, between one person and one ghost, in the room. She stiffly stood there, with a blank look on her face.
What’s going on here?!
What’s with this harmonious atmosphere between these two, ah?! This was really too different from the tragic scene in her imagination! Why does she unexpectedly feel as if she had barged in, and seemed to have even interrupted some important conversation between them?
Not wanting to give any explanation to other people, the female ghost directly turned into a wisp of black smoke, and attached to Gu Wuji’s body. There wasn’t a bit of breath left, that other people would find it difficult to sense her existence even at close range.
In any case, Gu Wuji accepted the sideline task, then hurriedly stepped forward soon after, and looked at the other with slightly bafflement, “Lily, why did you come?”
Of course, he could immediately see that the other had actually come over to save him. Gu Wuji completely never thought…… and didn’t expect, that this Lily would actually still be such a loyal woman.
Seeing that Gu Wuji was safe and sound, the sharp knife in Lily’s hand finally fell on the floor. Her body went slack, and would have directly fallen to the floor, had it not been for the door’s support. Seeing Gu Wuji, she sniffled and teared up, then tearfully said, “It’s really good that you’re all right……”
Gu Wuji helped the her get to the room next door soon after comforting the other. By secretly using his healing skill, the other party’s complexion seems to look much better.
“What’s up with that sharp knife you are holding?” Gu Wuji could feel that the mood of the female ghost attached to him fluctuate, upon sensing that sharp knife.
Upon hearing this, Lily immediately placed that notebook in Gu Wuji’s hands, then said soon after a sending a meaningful gaze: “I also don’t know the reason. But the ghosts here seems to fear the sight of blood. Thus, so long as there’s blood, the ghost will never come close.”
This was precisely the information she had just leafed through to save Gu Wuji. Otherwise, she would have cut her hand at the get go, and wouldn’t have almost been killed by the female ghost.
“Is that how it is?” Gu Wuji thought of these players, those two players before, who were lucky enough to have not been killed by the female ghost, really seemed to have been injured before.
In this case, it is indeed very easy to arrive at the conclusion that the ghosts were afraid of blood.
But, Gu Wuji also thought of the warning that the werewolf girl had left him before, where blood was also mentioned…… There’s no way this matter would be this simple. This blood can indeed drive these ordinary ghosts away, but might also attract something even more terrible instead.
Just like, that existence mentioned by the female ghost. Thinking about it this way, what the ghosts were afraid of isn’t blood at all, but what comes after the blood.
What’s more, this instance’s villain BOSS is also a vampire.
Gu Wuji picked up the notebook proffered by Lily, and solemnly spoke out his conjecture. Telling her to be extremely careful later, to never get hurt rashly, and to only use this method after careful consideration, if there’s really no other way when encountering a real crisis.
Lily’s earlier favorable impression towards Gu Wuji soared. How could she still have any other opinions? She repeatedly nodded at once, and vowed to take good care of herself, while inwardly thinking that Meng Meng was truly very considerate and gentle.
As for what agreement Gu Wuji and the female ghost had reached, she didn’t ask, this kind of matter was other people’s secret after all. What’s more, such a beautiful and kindhearted person like Meng Meng will definitely not harm her!
Gu Wuji returned to his room after appeasing Lily one more time. He went straight to bed and closed his eyes to sleep, without any worries about the ghost lodged on him the slightest bit.
…………
……
In the dream, Gu Wuji noticed, that he seems to be in a rather luxurious and gorgeous hallway, with all kinds of discernibly valuable and illustrious paintings hanging on both sides. But the contents of the painting were somewhat strange.
He had obviously never been here before, but he subconsciously knows, that this place, is definitely still inside the castle.
He walked forward unhurriedly, and eventually came upon a very huge door.
Gu Wuji had yet to do anything, when the huge door had already slowly opened by itself, revealing the scene inside.
This is an incredibly magnificent hall, that has a very high domed roof, with all kinds of exquisitely peerless murals painted on it, which gives off a grandiose sense of epic.
More importantly, the hall was empty. The sole thing to see inside, is only that pitch-black coffin placed in the very center.
The fear of facing the unknown struck Gu Wuji’s mind. But more than that, he cared about that inexplicable strong impulse in his heart. Alarm bells were already loudly ringing in his head. He clearly knows that something very terrible is very likely to happen if this goes on, but he still couldn’t stop his steps.
That is, someone who has always been waiting for him.
“That said, you have no idea either on what really happened in this castle, because you’ve been trapped and unable to leave in this floor area for this several decades.” Gu Wuji contemplated on this, “But you’re able to realize that there’s an extremely terrifying existence in this castle.
