A tingling sensation came from his finger, Gu Wuji immediately felt his body’s strength being sapped like some kind of curse, that he couldn’t help from frowning, and immediately wanted to break free from the other’s grasp. But was unable to move an inch under Yvette’s grasp.
Everyone dazedly looked at this scene. They all felt that this scene before them was, completely incompatible with the atmosphere in this hall!
Those who knew Yvette, even gaped in shock. Yvette was undoubtedly extremely picky about blood, and has never even gotten close to the existence of a blood servant. Just the sight of them will make him show a look of disgust…… The others even believed that he loathes human beings in the first place.
But what is happening right now!
However, those vampires, who had gotten a whiff of Gu Wuji’s blood just a moment ago, can more or less understand what Yvette was feeling at this moment…… That kind of high-grade blood, even they would also want to have a taste of it themselves.
Soon after, even more tiny thorns extended out from the mist, binding Gu Wuji’s body, and making him unable to move a single step.
These tiny thorns were still friendly, and didn’t even erode people to ashes. It could even be considered as gentle, as it didn’t cut Gu Wuji’s skin at all. But it was nonetheless terrifying at the same time, as the entangled person would be unable to muster even a bit of strength.
Feeling an unprecedented weakness at this moment, Gu Wuji asked: “What exactly do you want to do to me?”
“I merely want to let you see, with your own eyes, what will happen next.” Yvette let go of Gu Wuji’s finger afterwards, then gave him a nonchalant smile, “After all, not having even a single audience in this kind of situation, would also be too boring, right?”
Gu Wuji: “……”
Yvette continued on: “But it’s just a pity, even if that part of the magic formation has been destroyed, it will still be unable to stop this ceremony. Everything has already taken place after all.”
Following Yvette’s words, the entire hall became even more ice-cold, this gloomy chill caused a lot of people to shiver. Only at this point, were everyone able to clearly see that, there were countless translucent ghosts, floating around them at this moment.
Without their knowledge, all the ghosts in this castle had already gathered here. All of them had blank expressions, with the sole purpose of becoming sacrifices at this ceremony.
Some of the faint-hearted humans nearly fainted straight away at this time. Even the players, were having an extremely difficult time in hiding in barely safe places. It would’ve already been good if they could protect themselves now, not to mention anything about even being able to fight against the villain boss.
Little Lu looked at the barely conscious Lu Yuanzhou, feeling extremely nervous at this time. If this continuous on, they might be completely wiped out in this time’s instance! He immediately felt astounded soon after he unexpectedly caught sight of Lily’s figure walking towards the outside.
“What-, what is she going there for?”
Gu Wuji also looked at her. He still remembered what Little Lu had said before, but the situation at that time was really too urgent, that he simply didn’t have the time to look at what Lily was really doing.
An astonishing thing happened soon after. In the places where Lily walked upon, the surrounding ghosts unexpectedly slammed against the magic formation, as if having gotten rid of their trance-like state, and were even sacrificing their own power, in order to destroy this magic formation.
All of the vampires watched this with astonishment. Several of Yvette’s subordinates, who wanted to come over to stop them, were all caught by the ghosts halfway through.
Lily looked at the surrounding vampires with an ice-cold gaze, and soon walked to a place not far from Gu Wuji.
“This ceremony will never be continued anymore.” Lily showed a look of elation over having redressed a great hatred, and said with a sneer: “This life of being raised as a sacrifice by vampires is really sickening, so it is better for everyone to die together.”
“You……” Gu Wuji looked at her, the said straight away: “You really aren’t Lily. Who exactly are you?”
Based on what had just occurred a while ago, this ghost possessing Lily’s body, is definitely a soul left behind from the previous sacrifice, then, her hatred towards this ceremony can also be understandable.
Speaking of which, although the ceremony in this instance is a defiance of the natural order, and the villain over there is even more incredible, but as a matter of fact, there are many places where people can take advantage of the loopholes. If the other players could tamper with the magic formations in the other places in the castle beforehand, the difficulty at this moment could have estimated to have been greatly reduced.
But Gu Wuji also knew that, such a thing still couldn’t be relied upon. After all, the time of that day was too short…… Moreover, the only reason they were able to smoothly reach the second floor, was entirely because of relying on the variable, Brian. Had it been a normal player, it would’ve already been great for Brian to be killed by the black mist, not to mention becoming a teammate with Brian.
In the midst of Gu Wuji’s doubts, probably in response to Gu Wuji’s existence, and through the inexplicable connection between the two, the figure of that female ghost in the previous room, was able to come in from the outside.
She still hasn’t found her companion yet, so she naturally wouldn’t disappear so easily, and would still go in, even if it is at the site of the sacrifice.
When the female ghost’s eyes met Lily’s, the gaze of both people immediately underwent a change.
[Side task: Female ghost’s wish complete.]
Gu Wuji was shocked, not expecting that the ghost possessing Lily, would actually be the companion that the female ghost was searching for.
But even if she wasn’t, with all the ghosts in the castle presently gathered here as well, the female ghost’s wish can always be completed.
……thinking about it in this way, Lily had come in contact with this female ghost after all, so, it would’ve also made sense for the female ghost’s companion to have chosen to posses her, perhaps because of feeling something like a familiar breath.
Upon seeing ‘Lily’, the female ghost’s gaze became extremely complicated, seemingly hating this person before her to the extent of wanting to choke the other to death, but finally unable to lift her hand to do so as well.
In the end, the female ghost just moved her mouth: “Why? At that time, why didn’t you even come out to take a look? And, did you actually want to see me end up like this?”
“For not coming out to help you at that time, I’m really sorry.” ‘Lily’s gaze obviously became much gentler when she looked at the female ghost. She said: “But at that time, I already knew that there was going to be a sacrificial ceremony in this castle…… Rather than be sacrificed to that monster, and forever be imprisoned in that terrible place, it would be better for you to stay in the castle. At least, you’d still have your own consciousness.”
She also held onto the obsession of coming back in order to apologize. This was the only reason why she narrowly survived the sacrificial ceremony, and was able to persist up to today.
“You……” The female ghost completely didn’t expect the truth to actually be like this, that for a moment, much of the resentment in her body disappeared. She stood in front of ‘Lily’, then reached out, and held the other, “You truly are a fool. I’d rather die with you, than stay all by myself.”
Faint white light come out from the body of both ghosts at this time, some of their regrets had most likely finally been resolved.
As for Lily, she fell down the ground. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with her at all, aside from simply being unconscious.
Gu Wuji recognized with a glance that, that white light was the light that would appear when a ghost had been purified. It was rare for a ghost to be purified without him making use of his purification skill.
The others at the scene became stupefied yet again. Why can they still see this kind of emotional moment over and over again during this critical situation? What’s more, isn’t there too much of this lily situation in this instance!
Of course, in this kind of situation, the ghosts would still be unable to get out even when purified. In the next moment, those two seemingly conscious white lights struck the magic formation on the ground with force. Soon after, this magic formation, which was already somewhat unstable because of the attacks from the ghosts, showed a slight tendency to crack.
That black mist seemed to have finally noticed this situation as well. It flowed through even more fiercely, and had pretty much occupied more than half of the hall. Numerous thorny vines emerged from it, then suddenly started to grab those, who were still alive in the hall.
Screams immediately erupted in the hall. By then, everyone were almost desperate at this moment, and were completely unable to imagine how they’ll be able to hold on in this kind of situation.
It can be said that, the only safe place in this entire hall was, the piece of space around Yvette. The other places were already like scenes from a horror movie, where the players had to use various kind of items to protect themselves…… Fortunately, there were still many vampires present that can block the course of this black mist. Furthermore, they were powerful and were also able to resist for a long while.
As for the space around Yvette, some of the vampires had also fled there in panic. But in the face of Yvette, they can only end up as blood mist in minutes, dying quicker than those entangled by the thorny vines.
However, seeing such hellish scene before his very eyes, Gu Wuji suddenly spoke up: “What kind of sacrificial ceremony is this? This black mist has obviously grown much stronger already, if this goes on, can it still be sealed?”
“There won’t be any problems with the ceremony.” Yvette replied: “You need not worry about this.”
“Truth be told, the reason you did this ceremony, was simply to increase your own strength, right?” Gu Wuji looked at the other, and said in a completely solemn tone, “After all, when that existence is about to wake up, you naturally need to increase your strength, in order to control the ownership of that body. You and that existence being sealed, are one and the same……”
“So you already knew.” Yvette didn’t have the intention to hide it at all. After all, when things have already reached this stage, he simply doesn’t have to worry about anyone here, “So what?”
Gu Wuji took a deep breath, what he’d seen before was really true.
When he previously went into that strange space after being covered by the black mist, what he later saw in the black coffin in front of him, had almost been forgotten by him after waking up. But perhaps, because of the stimulus, he was finally able to remember it.
Inside that black coffin, what he saw was, a very pretty young man. The other party looks as if he was simply sleeping, and was completely incompatible with that ghastly atmosphere around.
The reason why Gu Wuji will feel a sense of familiarity upon seeing Yvette was, also because his appearance was extremely similar to that young man…… No, it was simply the grown-up version of that person.
But they give off a different feeling from each other, as if a single person’s consciousness had been split into two.
When combined with what Brian had said, about Yvette being someone, who suddenly appeared and made a name for himself in the Empire, Gu Wuji seemed to sense something. But because of the really insufficient information, he also couldn’t figure it out. It can only be guessed that, because of the loose seal, a part of that existence power was separated, then blended into this country, in order to find an opportunity to someday rescue himself.
It’s also only because of this that, Yvette was able to control those thorny vines and black mist on Lu Yuanzhou. After all, there’s a high probability that, he and that existence, are one and the same.
But Yvette has his own consciousness after all, and probably no longer wants to just become a part of that existence again, and was the only reason why these things now were planned.
It was only at this moment did Gu Wuji understand. No wonder the mainline task released by the system had revealed that this seal had been defective from the very beginning, the villain boss was guaranteed to wake up. Moreover, there was also the hint that everyone will die if they still fail to escape by midnight.
After all, this sealing ceremony was already flawed from the very beginning, no one on the scene had the power to stop Yvette. Even the combined forces of so many vampires did not pose much of a threat to the other side at all.
“I knew it, you never had the intention to seal that existence at all. You were really that monster itself!” The indignant voice of a certain vampire suddenly sounded from elsewhere in the hall, “His Majesty shouldn’t have trusted in you at all! Fancy that he’d place his hope in a guy like you, who appeared halfway without any noble blood, not expecting that you’ll……”
When he said those words, thorny vines immediately entangled his entire body. The vampire’s complexion underwent a dramatic change, completely unable to struggle, and can only be incessantly eroded by this thorny vine.
“I didn’t ask for it in the first place.” Yvette indifferently uttered, “From the start, the one’s who made the decision, were you people. After all, the others had also foreseen the loosening of the seal much earlier, and were afraid to come here in fear of death, ……but, you needn’t be sad either. Very soon, the others will also have the same end as you.”
Although the complexion of several of Yvette’s subordinates became unsightly, but they still insisted on their allegiance towards Yvette. One of them even shook his head and said: “You should give up. Lord Yvette is the future master of this country. All of this has already been ordained way before.”
The expression of all the other vampires became very unsightly, and were looking at these several vampires like looking at some traitor. Nonetheless, they also know full well, that only those loyal to Yvette can survive at this moment. Several of the vampires immediately made up their minds, and voluntarily voiced out to also become a subordinate of Yvette.
“Lord Yvette, I’m definitely willing to work extremely hard for you!”
“I beg You, let us go!”
“Under what kind of misperception made you think that, I will allow such wastes like you, to be my subordinate?” Yvette merely sneered in response to this, while looking at these vampires like they were merely tiny individuals with no power.
The other vampires immediately turned pale, not expecting for Yvette to actually be so intent in killing all of them, that it was completely of no use at all, even if all of them were to decide to pledge their loyalty to him.
All the players, who were hiding in hidden locations, felt that their hope for survival were too slim! There was practically no one, who could stop Yvette……
Unless-, unless, according to what Gu Wuji had said, Yvette seems to be competing control over some sort of power with that existence. If the other existence can be woken at this time, the both of them will have an internal conflict, and they, the players, might still be able to take the opportunity to escape.
The more they thought of this, the more they they felt that this was the only way out of this instance. But this really isn’t easy as well. How can a normal person possibly be able to do this! The location of that existence is estimated to be in another hall that is connected here. But the surroundings were all covered with dark mist, making it completely impossible for them to leave.
As for Gu Wuji, who seems quite reliable and still knows quite a lot of things, his range of action were still being controlled by Yvette, who knows what more will happen later……
Gu Wuji realized this point as well. He knows full well that, the only person, who can save the others, is him alone. Not only because the others had this idea, but because he had already dreamed about that existence right from the beginning.
“Don’t think you can escape.” Yvette seemed to be aware of Gu Wuji’s thoughts. He even thought it was very interesting, that a faint smile appeared in his blood red eyes, “So far, no one has ever been able to escape my hands.”
“I’m certainly aware of this.” Gu Wuji took a deep breath, “After all, there’s no way I can struggle free of this thorny vines with my strength alone. But……”
In the next instant, black mist unexpectedly appeared around the thorny vine binding his wrist all of a sudden, eroding the thorny vine. This thorny vines soon turned pale, Gu Wuji seized this opportunity, and directly broke free from it.
Seeing that black mist, Yvette’s expression inevitably turned gloomy, “As I thought, you’ve already established some kind of connection with ‘him’. It’s you after all, if it was me, I would’ve chosen you as well…… But there’s no meaning to this either. There’s as many thorny vines capable of trapping you as needed–”
After he said this, dense and numerous thorny vines had already surfaced from the ground around them. The people felt pain just by the mere sight of it.
Gu Wuji didn’t escape the instant he broke free, but took out the sharp kitchen knife, and ruthlessly slashed his arm.
He never thought that he would one day use this item upon himself…… In any case, this kitchen knife was certainly sharp enough, that a great amount of blood bled from his arm.
In an instant, the fragrant and sweet scent of blood were perceived by the vampires. The scent of this top-grade blood even acted like a drug, making all those vampires fall into a daze for a moment.
All the thorny vines in the surrounding seems to be confused by this blood as well, that it dazedly swayed, instead of trapping Gu Wuji.
Seizing this opportunity, Gu Wuji quickly ran to that hall, where he intuitively felt the black coffin was located.
Both the black mist and thorny vines along the way unexpectedly made way for Gu Wuji, without stalling his pace for even a moment. As for that wound, it was instantly humbled by Gu Wuji’s healing skill. He also couldn’t help but feel grateful for having such a skill, otherwise, it would’ve also been really very dangerous to lose so much blood in this kind of situation.
Yvette’s expression changed, but he also couldn’t move away from the place he was currently standing at this moment. The most crucial part in maintaining this magic formation, is his person.
Several of his vampire subordinates in the area swiftly rushed towards Gu Wuji. The leader was already close to Gu Wuji. He couldn’t help but feel glad that he was in a good enough position, and this seemingly, very weak-looking human girl will definitely be unable to beat him……
Gu Wuji severely struck this vampire’s face with his fist, and the vampire, who was still feeling glad, was directly beaten several steps back, with his mind buzzing.
The movement of the rest of the vampire subordinates subconsciously faltered. Nonetheless, Gu Wuji had already rushed to the door at this moment, then, as his hand was about to push the door open.
“This is it, soon……”
At this moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared close by. It was shockingly of the male player, who had exposed Gu Wuji before.
This male player had a smug look on his face. Before the start of this banquet, he had obtained a reliable life-saving item in the castle. With this item, he can even hide temporarily, and can almost be considered as invincible.
He could originally safely hide here and escape until the end of the instance, but seeing Gu Wuji facing such a crisis, he simply couldn’t help himself from coming out to hinder him. After all, after owning the item, his ego had also been inflated as well.
All the other players, who were originally feeling extremely nervous as they looked on Gu Wuji’s move, kept cheering on the other in their hearts, knowing that their only hope of living lies in Gu Wuji. They didn’t expect this guy to actually come out to block the other at this point, that they all couldn’t help from inwardly cursing. If they had known of this earlier, they would’ve certainly killed this trashy teammate first!
“It’s unexpected, right? For you to actually be blocked by me in the end.” The male player suddenly leaned against the doorway, with a sinister look, “You can forget about playing the hero in the hearts of all the players……”
But before he could finish what he wanted to say, he suddenly sensed a burst of terrible aura coming from behind the door. Before the male player could move out the way, that force had already eroded his body.
The male player showed a look of regret and fear, “How can–”
Why is he the only one to encounter this kind of danger? Yet Gu Wuji, doesn’t even have a bit of scratch!? The most terrifying thing was, he could sense that, the aura behind the door was furious at him.
Just because he got in Gu Wuji’s way, this instance’s villain boss wants to kill him? What kind of person is Gu Wuji really? Is he really just an ordinary player?!
If he knew it would turn out like this, he would have never come out at all. Relying on that item, he could’ve won without needing to even lift a finger!
The male player seemed to once again, recall his fear towards Gu Wuji when he was in the casino before, and only then, did he realize his stupidity. From the time before, he should’ve obviously realized how terrible Gu Wuji was. But he simply refused to believe it, and insisted on doing things…… This time, he no longer had that opportunity like last time.
Just like that, this male player, stood in front of Gu Wuji to obstruct him for just a few seconds, before completely turning into a cloud of blood mist, and had undoubtedly died a death similar to those vampires.
Nevertheless, Gu Wuji’s movement didn’t falter for even a moment. From his perspective, a person inexplicably rushed over, then died after saying a few words, without causing even the slightest of hindrance at all.
This door had originally been sealed shut, and couldn’t be opened because of the ceremony. Even if there wasn’t a seal, for such a heavy door, even Gu Wuji would also need to exert some strength. But under everyone’s gazes, the moment Gu Wuji pushed the door, this door opened as easily as a paper door. Even the door itself, seems to be somewhat impatiently anticipating his entrance.
Appearing before Gu Wuji’s eyes was a shockingly pitch-black passage, with all kinds of paintings on both sides. Exactly the same scene as those in his dreams before.
When the other players looked over, they immediately felt a kind of deep-rooted fear, that there seems to be an unknown terrifying existence within that darkness. If they were the one’s standing in front of this door, they definitely wouldn’t have the slightest courage to take a step inside.
In contrast, upon opening the door, Gu Wuji actually felt a sense of calling.
“Sure enough, have you been waiting for me all this time?”
He mumbled to himself, as he quickly walked forward.
A tingling sensation came from his finger, Gu Wuji immediately felt his body’s strength being sapped like some kind of curse, that he couldn’t help from frowning, and immediately wanted to break free from the other’s grasp. But was unable to move an inch under Yvette’s grasp.
Everyone dazedly looked at this scene. They all felt that this scene before them was, completely incompatible with the atmosphere in this hall!

These tiny thorns were still friendly, and didn’t even erode people to ashes. It could even be considered as gentle, as it didn’t cut Gu Wuji’s skin at all. But it was nonetheless terrifying at the same time, as the entangled person would be unable to muster even a bit of strength.

Gu Wuji: “……”
Yvette continued on: “But it’s just a pity, even if that part of the magic formation has been destroyed, it will still be unable to stop this ceremony. Everything has already taken place after all.”

After all, this sealing ceremony was already flawed from the very beginning, no one on the scene had the power to stop Yvette. Even the combined forces of so many vampires did not pose much of a threat to the other side at all.
“I knew it, you never had the intention to seal that existence at all. You were really that monster itself!” The indignant voice of a certain vampire suddenly sounded from elsewhere in the hall, “His Majesty shouldn’t have trusted in you at all! Fancy that he’d place his hope in a guy like you, who appeared halfway without any noble blood, not expecting that you’ll……”
When he said those words, thorny vines immediately entangled his entire body. The vampire’s complexion underwent a dramatic change, completely unable to struggle, and can only be incessantly eroded by this thorny vine.
“I didn’t ask for it in the first place.” Yvette indifferently uttered, “From the start, the one’s who made the decision, were you people. After all, the others had also foreseen the loosening of the seal much earlier, and were afraid to come here in fear of death, ……but, you needn’t be sad either. Very soon, the others will also have the same end as you.”
Although the complexion of several of Yvette’s subordinates became unsightly, but they still insisted on their allegiance towards Yvette. One of them even shook his head and said: “You should give up. Lord Yvette is the future master of this country. All of this has already been ordained way before.”
The expression of all the other vampires became very unsightly, and were looking at these several vampires like looking at some traitor. Nonetheless, they also know full well, that only those loyal to Yvette can survive at this moment. Several of the vampires immediately made up their minds, and voluntarily voiced out to also become a subordinate of Yvette.
“Lord Yvette, I’m definitely willing to work extremely hard for you!”
“I beg You, let us go!”
“Under what kind of misperception made you think that, I will allow such wastes like you, to be my subordinate?” Yvette merely sneered in response to this, while looking at these vampires like they were merely tiny individuals with no power.
The other vampires immediately turned pale, not expecting for Yvette to actually be so intent in killing all of them, that it was completely of no use at all, even if all of them were to decide to pledge their loyalty to him.
All the players, who were hiding in hidden locations, felt that their hope for survival were too slim! There was practically no one, who could stop Yvette……
Unless-, unless, according to what Gu Wuji had said, Yvette seems to be competing control over some sort of power with that existence. If the other existence can be woken at this time, the both of them will have an internal conflict, and they, the players, might still be able to take the opportunity to escape.
The more they thought of this, the more they they felt that this was the only way out of this instance. But this really isn’t easy as well. How can a normal person possibly be able to do this! The location of that existence is estimated to be in another hall that is connected here. But the surroundings were all covered with dark mist, making it completely impossible for them to leave.
As for Gu Wuji, who seems quite reliable and still knows quite a lot of things, his range of action were still being controlled by Yvette, who knows what more will happen later……
Gu Wuji realized this point as well. He knows full well that, the only person, who can save the others, is him alone. Not only because the others had this idea, but because he had already dreamed about that existence right from the beginning.
“Don’t think you can escape.” Yvette seemed to be aware of Gu Wuji’s thoughts. He even thought it was very interesting, that a faint smile appeared in his blood red eyes, “So far, no one has ever been able to escape my hands.”
“I’m certainly aware of this.” Gu Wuji took a deep breath, “After all, there’s no way I can struggle free of this thorny vines with my strength alone. But……”
In the next instant, black mist unexpectedly appeared around the thorny vine binding his wrist all of a sudden, eroding the thorny vine. This thorny vines soon turned pale, Gu Wuji seized this opportunity, and directly broke free from it.
Seeing that black mist, Yvette’s expression inevitably turned gloomy, “As I thought, you’ve already established some kind of connection with ‘him’. It’s you after all, if it was me, I would’ve chosen you as well…… But there’s no meaning to this either. There’s as many thorny vines capable of trapping you as needed–”
After he said this, dense and numerous thorny vines had already surfaced from the ground around them. The people felt pain just by the mere sight of it.
Gu Wuji didn’t escape the instant he broke free, but took out the sharp kitchen knife, and ruthlessly slashed his arm.
He never thought that he would one day use this item upon himself…… In any case, this kitchen knife was certainly sharp enough, that a great amount of blood bled from his arm.
In an instant, the fragrant and sweet scent of blood were perceived by the vampires. The scent of this top-grade blood even acted like a drug, making all those vampires fall into a daze for a moment.
All the thorny vines in the surrounding seems to be confused by this blood as well, that it dazedly swayed, instead of trapping Gu Wuji.
Seizing this opportunity, Gu Wuji quickly ran to that hall, where he intuitively felt the black coffin was located.
Both the black mist and thorny vines along the way unexpectedly made way for Gu Wuji, without stalling his pace for even a moment. As for that wound, it was instantly humbled by Gu Wuji’s healing skill. He also couldn’t help but feel grateful for having such a skill, otherwise, it would’ve also been really very dangerous to lose so much blood in this kind of situation.
Yvette’s expression changed, but he also couldn’t move away from the place he was currently standing at this moment. The most crucial part in maintaining this magic formation, is his person.
Several of his vampire subordinates in the area swiftly rushed towards Gu Wuji. The leader was already close to Gu Wuji. He couldn’t help but feel glad that he was in a good enough position, and this seemingly, very weak-looking human girl will definitely be unable to beat him……
Gu Wuji severely struck this vampire’s face with his fist, and the vampire, who was still feeling glad, was directly beaten several steps back, with his mind buzzing.
The movement of the rest of the vampire subordinates subconsciously faltered. Nonetheless, Gu Wuji had already rushed to the door at this moment, then, as his hand was about to push the door open.
“This is it, soon……”
At this moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared close by. It was shockingly of the male player, who had exposed Gu Wuji before.
This male player had a smug look on his face. Before the start of this banquet, he had obtained a reliable life-saving item in the castle. With this item, he can even hide temporarily, and can almost be considered as invincible.
He could originally safely hide here and escape until the end of the instance, but seeing Gu Wuji facing such a crisis, he simply couldn’t help himself from coming out to hinder him. After all, after owning the item, his ego had also been inflated as well.
All the other players, who were originally feeling extremely nervous as they looked on Gu Wuji’s move, kept cheering on the other in their hearts, knowing that their only hope of living lies in Gu Wuji. They didn’t expect this guy to actually come out to block the other at this point, that they all couldn’t help from inwardly cursing. If they had known of this earlier, they would’ve certainly killed this trashy teammate first!
“It’s unexpected, right? For you to actually be blocked by me in the end.” The male player suddenly leaned against the doorway, with a sinister look, “You can forget about playing the hero in the hearts of all the players……”
But before he could finish what he wanted to say, he suddenly sensed a burst of terrible aura coming from behind the door. Before the male player could move out the way, that force had already eroded his body.
The male player showed a look of regret and fear, “How can–”
Why is he the only one to encounter this kind of danger? Yet Gu Wuji, doesn’t even have a bit of scratch!? The most terrifying thing was, he could sense that, the aura behind the door was furious at him.
Just because he got in Gu Wuji’s way, this instance’s villain boss wants to kill him? What kind of person is Gu Wuji really? Is he really just an ordinary player?!
If he knew it would turn out like this, he would have never come out at all. Relying on that item, he could’ve won without needing to even lift a finger!
The male player seemed to once again, recall his fear towards Gu Wuji when he was in the casino before, and only then, did he realize his stupidity. From the time before, he should’ve obviously realized how terrible Gu Wuji was. But he simply refused to believe it, and insisted on doing things…… This time, he no longer had that opportunity like last time.
Just like that, this male player, stood in front of Gu Wuji to obstruct him for just a few seconds, before completely turning into a cloud of blood mist, and had undoubtedly died a death similar to those vampires.
Nevertheless, Gu Wuji’s movement didn’t falter for even a moment. From his perspective, a person inexplicably rushed over, then died after saying a few words, without causing even the slightest of hindrance at all.
This door had originally been sealed shut, and couldn’t be opened because of the ceremony. Even if there wasn’t a seal, for such a heavy door, even Gu Wuji would also need to exert some strength. But under everyone’s gazes, the moment Gu Wuji pushed the door, this door opened as easily as a paper door. Even the door itself, seems to be somewhat impatiently anticipating his entrance.
Appearing before Gu Wuji’s eyes was a shockingly pitch-black passage, with all kinds of paintings on both sides. Exactly the same scene as those in his dreams before.
When the other players looked over, they immediately felt a kind of deep-rooted fear, that there seems to be an unknown terrifying existence within that darkness. If they were the one’s standing in front of this door, they definitely wouldn’t have the slightest courage to take a step inside.
In contrast, upon opening the door, Gu Wuji actually felt a sense of calling.
“Sure enough, have you been waiting for me all this time?”
He mumbled to himself, as he quickly walked forward.
