Chapter 87: 7th instance: We should care about these ghosts as if they were our companions (part 2 of 4)

“Okay. You’ve worked really hard, you should go back first.” Gu Wuji said.

Seeing Gu Wuji like this made these two ghosts increasingly feel that he was unfathomable. They then repeatedly shook their heads soon after, with a look of fear. They obviously didn’t have the courage to attach themselves to Gu Wuji together with this female ghost.

Gu Wuji had no other choice but to open the small box, “Then you can only go in here…… I will naturally make Goldie treat you a bit gentler this time.”

Both ghosts: “……”

What kind of terrible situation is this, where there’s a wolf in front and the tiger at the back!!

In the end, they still chose the option of going inside the small box, which Gu Wuji uses to store ghosts, with difficulty. At least it was just a little terrible, and isn’t as bad as getting directly killed by the female ghost.

…………

……

On the other side, in a magnificent hall guarded by several people somewhere in the castle. All of whom, were already drenched in cold sweat, as if walking on a fine line between life and death.

For a very short time, they clearly felt that the seal, of the black coffin they were guarding, had almost been broken just a moment ago.

“Quickly report this to the lord, there’s already no time to waste……”

“We must quickly perform the ceremony. Otherwise……”

That existence will definitely wake up. When that time comes, everything won’t be this simple anymore.

——

The day was already bright. The players gathered in the dining-hall, were all wistfully eating the breakfast served by the servants in the castle.

When Gu Wuji first came over, he easily discovered that there was one person missing from the male side. He was one of the male players, who had fainted in fright in the casino before. Lu Yuanzhou didn’t look so good as well, and even more so, Little Lu, whose complexion had become incredibly pale, as if having experienced something terrible.

The atmosphere in the entire dining-hall was very heavy. Those female players were looking at Gu Wuji with a look of amazement. After learning of the situation in the male players’ side, they felt even more amazed with the strength of this Meng Meng. How the did she really pull through from that kind of situation last night?

It should be known that, after going out their rooms in the early morning, they saw blood all over the hallway, which looks like from a murder scene. Despite the fact that, not a single person had actually met their death.

Gu Wuji automatically sat across Lu Yuanzhou’s seat, and learned about the matters with regards to what happened last night from them.

A similar thing had also happened over the male players’ side. When it happened, that unlucky male player selected by the ghost swiftly escaped with the use of items, then tried to barge into the room of other male players to find a scapegoat.

However, he unfortunately chose Lu Yuanzhou’s room. He was completely unable to open the door, and was killed by the ghost in the doorway. The people only woke up after hearing a miserable scream. There was completely no sign of that dead person’s corpse, only a pool of blood was left at the doorway.

Although Lu Yuanzhou didn’t care about this matter very much, but the other had actually died at his doorway, which always made him feel some sort of mysterious foreshadowing…… This is an inescapable instance arranged by the system for him after all, and must never be underestimated.

A very excited Lily ran over to sit beside Gu Wuji to say: “Meng Meng, thank you so much for yesterday. Otherwise, I might have died here.”

Gu Wuji responded: “It also wasn’t that much of a trouble. I was simply lucky enough that, that female ghost was also quite easy to get along with.”

The people around, who heard him, naturally didn’t believe in this. Taking into account that male player’s state of death, can already tell them, just how terrible the ghosts here are. This Meng Meng must’ve definitely given her all to escape. However, it’s also quite normal for other people to be unwilling to reveal their trump card.

In this group of players, Lu Yuanzhou was probably the only one, who instantly believed this. He had personally witnessed how Gu Wuji tossed those ghosts in the previous instance after all. This immediately made him feel more at ease deep inside.

The players absentmindedly ate breakfast like this. Only Gu Wuji ate the food with relish.

A certain player tentatively asked a nearby servant regarding what the next itinerary was. The most terrifying banquet for them would be held tonight after all. There’s still a lot of time left to look around the castle before then.

That servant immediately communicated that, they just have to honestly wait here until the start of the evening banquet, avoid from venturing out rashly, and were only allowed to walk around in a small area in this vicinity, so as to avoid disturbing the other distinguished guests.

Everyone knows that, since it is a banquet, there will certainly be other guests…… But according to the introduction given by the system before, all the so-called distinguished guests, who will be showing up in this banquet, were all estimated to be non-human.

They felt an even greater sense of crisis. Who would honestly stay still in this kind of situation? They were already inwardly thinking on how to get out later. In any case, none of these players were really willing to sit and wait for their death here like those ordinary people either.

After the meal, everyone immediately left the dining-hall one after the other. Seemingly perceiving their thoughts, the servant warned them once more: “This castle is very dangerous. If you touch certain taboos, you’ll never be able to leave here alive.”

As a matter of fact, someone was originally supposed to keep an eye on these players. But something seemed to have happened last night, resulting for everyone to be completely mobilized.

It was impossible for anyone to take such nonsense into heart, and thus went to explore the place one after another. Since they also knew of the dangers here, everyone was extremely vigilant.
