Chapter 87: 7th instance: We should care about these ghosts as if they were our companions (part 1 of 4)

Where the hell is this place? Will there be any danger further on? What will actually happen if he opens this coffin?

This kind of usual line of thoughts, which were supposed to come up in this situation, completely didn’t cross Gu Wuji’s mind at this time. He merely slowly stretched out his hand, and wanted to open this coffin.

But the instant his hand happened to touch upon the surface of the coffin, a rune, invisible to the naked eye, on the back of Gu Wuji’s hand suddenly flashed, followed by a sudden bout of an indescribable pain. Gu Wuji abruptly opened his eyes, and directly woke up from this dream.

“What was that just now? Did I have a dream again?” Even Gu Wuji, had faint cold sweat drip down from his forehead.

He had also discovered, but had no idea when it began, that he would have some strange dreams in every instance, and all of which, were extremely dangerous. A dream that could potentially take one’s life with a bit of carelessness.

But considering that this is inside a supernatural instance, this should also be a very normal thing. Maybe everyone will also have dreams like this. From a certain aspect, this also provides him some clues that he normally still hasn’t investigated.

Had it not been for the unexpected veined pattern on his hand…… Gu Wuji looked at the back of his hand. He absolutely didn’t expect that the evil god mark, which was of a life-threatening existence in the past, would be of help to him in this kind of instance.

“This should probably be due to an incompatibility setting or something with the villain BOSS of the supernatural instances.”

Thinking back to that magnificent hall in the dream, Gu Wuji was absolutely certain that this was a place that exists someplace in this castle. Moreover, that coffin, which emits an extremely fearful feeling, is even more so, inextricably linked with this instance as well.

“It looks like I still need to look into this.”

Gu Wuji was pondering over this, when the two ghosts came back through the door. They were surprisingly the two, whom Gu Wuji sent out to investigate the castle before.

The moment they entered the door, the female ghost attached to Gu Wuji gave off a terrible aura. Seeing bursts of substantive resentment emanate from behind Gu Wuji, made these two ghosts fall to their knees in front of Gu Wuji in fright.

Gu Wuji hurriedly voiced: “This two ghosts are my people. They don’t have any malice.”

Only then did the killing intent of that female ghost dissipate, the room also regained it’s calmness. Now that the obsession of this female ghost can only be completed through relying on Gu Wuji, there’s no way she could possibly tolerate the other ghosts do something to Gu Wuji.

Upon seeing this, these two ghosts inwardly became even more terrified of Gu Wuji.

They’ve just gone out to investigate for one night, yet Gu Wuji had surprisingly managed to take the ghost here for his own use already. What a really terrible person this is! Fortunately, they had already quick-wittedly gave up their wrongs and turned over a new leaf. Otherwise, they would’ve already been killed by him in minutes.

These two ghosts had incidentally also completely laid down their previous intention of concealing some information. They cannot guarantee whether that female ghost knows about the things they’ll say, so they one by one imparted all the things they’ve investigated.

“Quite a lot of places in this castle are guarded by ghosts. Moreover, several of these ghosts are controlled, don’t have any sentience, and only knows how to attack, which made it difficult for us to enter. Thus, we could only investigate some of the places outside.”

“Most of the servants and kitchen staffs are definitely just normal people. They’re all very cautious, and will never rashly leave the first floor.”

“Then did you go and take a look upstairs?” Gu Wuji questioned, the female ghost is incapable from leaving this floor level on her own after all.

“Of course not.” Both ghosts showed a look of fear and trepidation, “There’s an extremely terrifying breath upstairs. There’s definitely something very dangerous there. What’s more, there’s still a lot of shockingly powerful existences. It’s best if You don’t go up either……”

Gu Wuji nodded, feeling quite certain already. That magnificent hall he’d seen in his dream last night, was definitely somewhere on the second floor.

“So you went out for one night, and didn’t find anything else?”

Seeing Gu Wuji have a ‘clearly knows that something is going on’ look, as well as that very clear gaze of his, made these two ghosts feel even more jittery deep inside, feeling that they had been completely seen through. So, they no longer dared to conceal anything.

“W-, we, found an entrance that leads to a dungeon inside the garden!”

“That dungeon should have once been a place where prisoners were held. But there’s nothing there now, aside from a numerous amount of sentience-less ghosts. On top of that, there’s actually a secret passage that leads to the outside in the dungeon as well, which should’ve been an escape route left behind by the people, who originally constructed the castle…… It’s just that we were blocked by something halfway through, and were completely unable to pass through.”

Otherwise, they would’ve definitely run away much earlier. Why else would they still return honestly? This castle was simply a place where danger lurks on every side, it would be better off to stay by Gu Wuji’s side, where it feels safe.

Gu Wuji naturally didn’t forget about the map he’d obtained. The secret passage on it was indeed in the location of the dungeon.

He couldn’t help but mull over this after hearing it. It looks like the matter of leaving through the secret passage isn’t going to be so easy either. There should very likely be something like a barrier inside. Perhaps that barrier can be lifted only after the BOSS of this instance has been resolved or something.
