Gu Wuji suddenly woke up the moment he opened the door.
He felt a chill in the room, and the cold wind kept blowing on him.
“What’s going on?” He stood up suddenly and saw that the window was wide open, and his roommate Rong Qingman looked like he was about to jump out of the window.
Although this was only the second floor, this was such a dangerous dungeon. Even if you just fell and got injured, it was very likely to cause terrible things. The system even said that you were not allowed to leave the house. Who knew if falling out of the window was a violation of the rules.
Without thinking, Gu Wuji suddenly turned over and jumped out of bed, hugging Rong Qingman tightly, “Wait, don’t even think about it!”
After getting out of bed, Gu Wuji suddenly realized there was something weird going on in the room. The room was extremely cold at this time, and the entire space was weird to an abnormal degree. There were traces of struggles on the ground, and even the two ghosts on his body did not move at all.
As for looking up, there was blood outside the window not far away, and the starry sky seemed to be covered in blood. There was no shadow of the building next door, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Had everything outside this copy reached this point?
No, that was not right.
Gu Wuji’s eyes fell on the window frame and found that it was no longer an ordinary window frame, but a picture frame. He didn’t know when this window had turned into a painting! Or maybe it was one from the beginning, but none of them noticed it.
“We can’t let Rong Qingman go in.” Although Gu Wuji didn’t know what it would look like in this painting, it was definitely extremely dangerous.
The next moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared around him. It could be vaguely seen as a ferocious ghost, and it suddenly attacked in the direction of Gu Wuji.
“Oops.” Of course Gu Wuji noticed this, “Sure enough, there is still a ghost in this room. I’m afraid Rong Qingman was fighting him before. It was probably because he couldn’t use his strength well due to the portrait and fell into a disadvantage, so that’s how it turned out to now…”
Speaking of which, he slept too hard… although this was all because his consciousness was taken away by the ghost boss. It was conceivable that if he had delayed coming back any longer, Rong Qingman might have become a corpse.
When Gu Wuji was about to let go and deal with the ghost, the blank expression of Rong Qingman he was holding became sinister. He held Gu Wuji’s hand firmly with both hands, so that he would not have time to deal with that ghost.
But the next moment, Rong Qingman’s expression changed again. He gritted his teeth and looked at Gu Wuji, “Ignore me and leave quickly! It’s too dangerous here…”
Soon his expression became distorted again, “Don’t even think about running away!”
This scene was extremely tragic. Gu Wuji saw that he was being pulled, so that he couldn’t move and couldn’t even take out his hands to use the props. There was a ghost behind him that was about to attack him – even the ghost behind him had already felt that this human was about to attack him.
“I see. Are you keeping Rong Qingman because you have already controlled him to deal with me?” Gu Wuji was thoughtful and looked at the ghost attacking him from behind, “You look quite familiar…I’m afraid you should be the ghost attached to Rong Qingman.”
The ghost probably felt that he had a chance to win, and immediately sneered: “That’s right. This person thinks he can control me, but his thinking is too naive. How could we ghosts be restrained so easily?”
“But I think if it weren’t for that painting, you wouldn’t be able to deal with him,” Gu Wuji said.
“What do you know? He brought this opportunity to me all by himself. If a human being is so arrogant then he is destined to become a scapegoat.” The ghost smiled ferociously and suddenly rushed towards Gu Wuji.
The next moment, a muffled sound suddenly sounded.
Rong Qingman, who was still in a stalemate with Gu Wuji just now, was thrown directly onto the bed next to him and passed out immediately.
Ghost: “??”
Gu Wuji was restrained by the evil ghost before and couldn’t resist. Now, a player like Rong Qingman who was still alive… couldn’t hold on for long in Gu Wuji’s hands.
When Rong Qingman first grabbed him, Gu Wuji refused to resist just because he wanted to hear more about what the ghost had to say.
The ghost forcibly calmed down and said, “Don’t think that being strong is enough.”
During the time he was with Rong Qingman, he had already observed Gu Wuji in order for things to go smoothly.
From the ghost’s point of view, Gu Wuji’s willpower was a bit strong. But he didn’t look very strong, as he didn’t show any strength in this copy. He was probably just an IQ player, and he didn’t have any teammates. In this case, it was not impossible to kill him immediately.
Thinking of this, the ghost was filled with confidence and rushed towards Gu Wuji.
….
One minute later.
The ghost was tied up with five-flowered ropes. If he were a human, his clothes would have been soaked in cold sweat by now.
Gu Wuji was sitting aside with a kitchen knife in his hand.
Of course, Gu Wuji didn’t take out the kitchen knife to threaten the ghost or anything else. He felt that he just happened to want to take it out.
Looking at the kitchen knife flashing with cold light, the ghost couldn’t help but shrink, “Brother, if you have something to say, please ask me, I will tell you everything! Don’t do anything!”
Gu Wuji was surprised by the ghost’s attitude. Before he even had time to ask, the other party had already taken the initiative to explain.
And this ghost seemed to know more things than other ghosts.
“Okay, then you will give me an honest explanation.” Gu Wuji said: “Let me think about it. Tell me what this portrait means. And how to get up to the third floor.
“This portrait, I’m not very clear about it, but I just know that it appears from time to time, and when it appears, it can confuse the minds of living people, making them subconsciously want to go in, and once they go in, they will never come out again.” The ghost said immediately.
Gu Wuji immediately thought of the painting in the storage room. It was estimated that Sister Yan was attacked there.
“Can’t we rescue the people inside?”
“I’ve never seen anyone come out of there. Even ghosts like us don’t dare to go in.” The ghost said tremblingly.
“That’s it. “Gu Wuji didn’t even want to get close to the painting. He intuitively felt that it was not the same world in the painting as the previous copy. Instead, it gave people a sense of chaos… as if it was some kind of world full of chaotic fragments that had not yet formed.
“Then how can we get up to the third floor.” Gu Wuji said: “Do you still remember the owner of the studio?”
There was a look of hesitation on the ghost’s face.
Gu Wuji touched the kitchen knife in his hand as if nothing had happened.
The ghost immediately said: “I don’t remember anything about the owner of the studio either. After we came back as ghosts, we lost most of our memories. We only know that we help ordinary living people paint, and in the end we can occupy their bodies and leave here, and those living people will replace us in this studio as ghosts! I didn’t expect that the person I met was so cunning and caught my weakness. I had no choice but to pretend to be restrained by him and not resist anymore.”
“Is that true…”
Gu Wuji nodded.
“As for the third floor, I vaguely know that as long as the painting at the entrance to the first floor is completed, the entrance to the third floor will be opened.” The ghost said.
“What? Gu Wuji never expected that the conditions for entering the third floor would be this, “How can that painting be completed?”
“Although I don’t remember anything else. But I know this very well. It seems to be the last painting of the owner of this villa. He wanted to complete the most perfect painting here, but at the end of the painting he was unable to start because he couldn’t find an ideal model to refer to…”
Gu Wuji burst out, the owner of this villa would not be Jin Yu, right?
But he always felt that although the portrait at the door was not bad, it was still a bit inferior to Jin Yu’s…
At this moment, Rong Qingman on the bed frowned and finally woke up. After seeing the scene in front of him, he was stunned.
