Chapter 87: 7th instance: We should care about these ghosts as if they were our companions (part 3 of 4)

Gu Wuji originally wanted to help the female ghost find her companion, but the female ghost said that she was currently unable to sense to location of the other party. Thus, without any better option, he decided to browse through the diary Lily gave him yesterday.

Both Lu Yuanzhou and Little Lu stayed, and planned to move together with Gu Wuji. Lily left with her female attendant, after communicating that there were other things she wants to look into.

The owner of this diary was obviously a very dependable servant. But after coming to know so many secrets about this castle, he also couldn’t help but want to confide this to other people, that he finally couldn’t help but write it down in this diary.

Some of the strange matters in this castle were clearly written here. Such as, the second floor, which can only be entered during the day, the third and above floors, where ordinary servants like them were absolutely forbidden from setting foot.

Even the duration given to them to clean the second floor was also only as short as an hour. They must immediately leave when the time is up, otherwise a punishment will be meted……

“It looks like there’s really a problem with the second floor. The consequence of staying there for more than an hour will be death.” Lu Yuanzhou apathetically remarked.

“But the banquet will be conducted on the second floor. We will be there for the night at that time.” Little Lu’s complexion paled. He was already witlessly scared after having gone through the tragic death of that male player last night, and still hadn’t calmed down until now.

“So we now just have to look for a way to survive at that time.” Gu Wuji looked through several more pages, and noticed a place mentioned in this diary.

As mentioned here, there is a separate staircase in the first floor that leads to the library on the second floor, which contains certain written documents about this castle over the past years. But the peculiar thing was, no one was assigned to go and guard that area of the castle, nor were there even anyone sent to clean the area.

The owner of this diary also learned about that library by plain coincidence. He only knew that the person, who entered the library, will appear as a corpse in the garden the next day, with eyes gouged out, and an extremely miserable death.

Adhering to the concept of refraining from courting death, the owner of the diary never went over to take a look.

“It seems that this place should be very important, the thing we’re searching for, will most probably be there.” Gu Wuji immediately thought of an idea, “We should go there and take a look.”

Little Lu was already scared out of his wits, but still agreed with this matter.

Who would’ve thought, that Gu Wuji would still flip through several more pages, “Um, can’t go here either, there’s also a forbidden area here…… Going to this place will also lead to death…… Let’s go and take a look at all these places.”

Little Lu: “??”

Lu Yuanzhou still looked at Gu Wuji with appreciation, as if expressing that this person in front of him was really worthy to be called his good brother and such.

……

The group left the dining-hall. In a place not so far away, several individuals appeared at a corner at the back. Headed by a young man, who appears to have an even more imposing demeanor compared to those around him, as well as a pale complexion unlike humans.

“Master Brian, is this really fine? Tampering with the sacrifice before the banquet…… the lord will definitely be angry if he knew.” A subordinate hurriedly voiced.

“So what.” The young man called Brian sneered: “As a blood kin, shouldn’t I have the right to enjoy the sacrifice in advance? Not to mention……” His sight landed on Gu Wuji’s back, “This sacrifice looks quite good. It’s such a waste to be killed straightaway too. So, it would be better for me to enjoy it first.”

The surrounding subordinates trembled with fear after hearing this, but didn’t have any method to stop their master either.

Although the general blood kin holds no interest towards humans, as they consider humans to be a much more inferior existence than them. But the preference of this Brian stands out from the masses, and especially likes to play around with the humans before killing them.

There would normally be no problem in doing such things to other humans. However, when attending the banquet this time, doing this kind of things to the sacrifices at the banquet…… But relying on his status, even if this was discovered, Brian was also certain that the other people will not do anything to him, which is why he is this confident.

The others couldn’t help but sigh. Their master should’ve originally been unable to slip out as well. Who knew that seemed to have happened last night…… The lord summoned all the other people for a discussion, which unexpectedly gave their master the opportunity to visit the area where the sacrifices located.

…………

……

This castle still remains incomparably overcast even during daytime. The curtains in all areas were tightly drawn shut, as if afraid of the slightest bit of sunshine from leaking in. The interior were entirely illuminated by oil lamps.

This was simply an extremely wasteful thing. But considering that the castle’s owner is a vampire, then this makes a lot of sense.

Even if they carefully pull the curtains open to look outside, what could be seen outside was also a gloomy, overcast weather, in addition to a lifeless garden, with plants swaying in the very strong wind.

“There’s absolutely no need for them to draw the curtains in this type of weather.” Little Lu couldn’t help from voicing out, “If this instance’s villain fears the sun this much, can we think of something from thing aspect?”

“But the banquet will be held in the evening.” Lu Yuanzhou shook his head, “This method is estimated to be unfeasible.”

As the group were conversing, they had already arrived at the front of the door, which was written down in a diary as a door that must never be entered. This here, apparently used to be a storeroom, where a servant inexplicably died while cleaning. From then on, no one else was allowed to casually go in.
