Time went back to a while ago.
Rong Qingman was sitting on the edge of the bed and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly saw a pair of blood-red scene behind the window that had been opened for no reason.
It was like another world. The next moment, when the uncomfortable atmosphere reached its peak, a pair of huge black and white eyes suddenly appeared in the red world.
Rong Qingman immediately froze on the spot. Faced with such danger, he should have taken out his props at this time, but for some reason, he couldn’t move at all.
The huge eyes were looking at the location of their room. When the cold eyes stared at him, Rong Qingman unknowingly felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Fortunately, the eyes didn’t stay there for long, and glanced into the room behind him, as if he was looking for someone, but Rong Qingman was obviously not the person he was looking for, so he was casually ignored.
Not long after, the eyes disappeared directly, and the mist covered the location where the eyes originally appeared.
“What is going on? What were those eyes? It must be the sight we feel these days… Who is it looking for? What will happen if it finds that person?”
Rong Qingman’s face turned pale. He felt that his exploration in the villa in the past two days seemed to be of no use at this moment. There was no mention anywhere that there was such a monster in this copy.
“Fortunately, this monster has no murderous intention towards passers-by, otherwise I would definitely be in trouble.”
Then he saw the position of the window frame and immediately realized that the window had turned into a painting at some point.
“Is this the painting of the owner of the house? He actually has such ability, it seems that I should be more careful.”
Of course, a person like Rong Qingman, who was almost entering the advanced copy, would not shrink back because of this. He immediately stood up and walked to the window, ready to observe the window carefully, but the moment he took a step, he suddenly felt that his mind turned dizzy and his body seemed to be out of control.
And in just the next moment, the ghost of the copy that he had suppressed suddenly appeared.
“Damn it, this portrait actually…”
To be able to control the will of a person with his strength was not something that ordinary ghosts could do, at least it was an existence above the advanced ghosts!
This intermediate dungeon was indeed not simple. There were actually ghosts at the Ghost King level…
Under the strong bewitching power, Rong Qingman no longer had any extra energy to think about other things. All he could see was that painting, and all he wanted in his mind was to enter that world.
….
Rong Qingman woke up and couldn’t remember exactly what he saw by the window before he fell into coma. That memory seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. But he suddenly remembered that when he couldn’t control his body, that good old man Sun Shi came to save him.
He suddenly opened his eyes wide. When he vaguely saw two shadows in the room, he remembered what happened before and suddenly sat up. “Sun Shi, let’s go quickly-“
Before he could finish his words, Rong Qingman saw something like a big shadow. Gu Wuji was sitting there like a gangster, and there was a ghost who looked like a humble younger brother kneeling in front of him.
Rong Qingman: “…”
Rong Qingman: “??”
This scene simply subverted Rong Qingman’s imagination. In his opinion, this Sun Shi was the kind of person who, although he was better than ordinary players, was still just a slightly more powerful person anyway, and was only slightly qualified for him to talk to him.
But now reality slapped him hard in the face. Rong Qingman had never thought before that he would be saved by Gu Wuji in such a situation. The other party was even able to restrain the ghost with ease.
Rong Qingman looked at the window again and found that the blood-red color outside the window had suddenly disappeared, and the Yin energy that originally spread into the house had also dissipated, and everything had returned to its usual appearance. Now when he looked out, only the next door dark villa could be seen shrouded in fog.
“It’s great that you’re okay.” Gu Wuji was halfway questioning the ghost when he heard the noise and immediately turned his head to look over. “I was really scared to death before. I thought you were going to jump off the building.”
Rong Qingman couldn’t help but blush because he felt embarrassed, he usually dragged his face out in front of others… but something so embarrassing happened.
In fact, it seemed that Sun Shi might already be stronger than him! The other party was actually able to remain unswayed by the bewitchment of the portrait, and he even easily controlled the ghost. And saved his life! What qualifications did he have to be so presumptuous in front of the other party?
Rong Qingman sighed, and his attitude changed drastically from before, as he said to Gu Wuji, “Thank you so much for your help. I don’t even know how to repay you.”
“No need, as long as you’re fine.” When Gu Wuji heard the word “repay”, he thought of his previous dream, and immediately looked at Rong Qingman with a friendly smile. When he helped someone, he never thought of anyone repaying him.
Rong Qingman felt even more ashamed. He had humiliated other players in various ways before, thinking that these people were weak and should wait to die. It was a waste of time to save people… But if the other party were like this, he would have died already.
“No, I will definitely repay you.” Rong Qingman said, and then he looked at the ghost in front of Gu Wuji hatefully, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, “This damn ghost actually took the opportunity to attack me. …It seems that I should finish him here.”
The ghost was immediately frightened by Rong Qingman, but even when it was so afraid, it could only freeze in the middle.
“Speaking of which, can these ghosts still be killed?” Gu Wuji looked at Rong Qingman in surprise.
“Although they are already dead, you can still make their souls fly away through special methods…or let more powerful ghosts devour them.” Rong Qingman immediately confessed all the things that he would never reveal easily in the past and said: “Although I can’t completely dissipate them, it is still easy to weaken their power and attract other ghosts.”
Gu Wuji nodded and said: “But I am a peace-loving person, I still don’t want to do such a thing to this ghost, and besides, it still has something to tell you.”
The ghost on the ground felt grateful. But he really wanted to complain about being careless. Just looking at the kitchen knife, he couldn’t see the slightest bit of peace-loving, and the words after that were even more full of danger!
Rong Qingman was already looking at Gu Wuji with eyes full of filters at this time, and he was immediately moved. In the past, Gu Wuji’s kind behavior, which he considered useless, now seemed to sparkle.
“You’re right, then of course I won’t do anything to it again.” After saying that, Rong Qingman stared coldly at the ghost on the ground, “Even if you saved this dog’s life, if he does something else, I will never let him go.”
The ghost could only keep nodding. No matter what it thought in its heart, it could only do this when facing these two terrifying living people.
Gu Wuji looked at the ghost on the ground again, “You haven’t told me how to complete the painting.”
The ghost said: “Of course, the soul of the model with the perfect face that the studio owner recognizes needs to be sacrificed. Only through the sacrifice can the painting be completed. Of course, it is very difficult to find such a person, so now the next best thing is to find suitable parts from the faces of a large number of souls to fill in the portrait.” After saying this, he glanced at Gu Wuji a few more times. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that Gu Wuji’s face was very suitable for the owner of the house.
Gu Wuji frowned and asked, “Is there no other way?”
Gu Wuji was fine at this time, but Rong Qingman next to him stared at him with a look that was scarier than a ghost, “You can’t want to ask Sun Shi to sacrifice himself, right?”
“How could such a thing happen!” The ghost almost cried, but it said honestly this time, “I really don’t know. It seems that I didn’t lie.”
Rong Qingman was quite sharp in this regard. The reason why he overturned the car before was because he accidentally encountered that portrait, otherwise the ghost would have been suppressed by him.
Then Gu Wuji couldn’t find anything to ask. Suddenly, two ghosts appeared on him as if they were pretending to be dead before.
Rong Qingman’s face didn’t look very good. Could it be that these three ghosts thought this room was for them to communicate with each other? If Gu Wuji hadn’t looked so indifferent, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to bear it.
When the ghost on the ground saw the male ghost on Gu Wuji’s body, he immediately showed surprise and quickly said to Gu Wuji: “He is actually here with you… If it is him, he will definitely know more and more about things related to the owner of the studio.”
The ghost in Gu Wuji immediately shook his head, with a look of confusion and pain on his face, “…I have no memory, I can’t remember it at all.”
Gu Wuji looked at the ghost on the ground, “Are you serious?”
The ghost on the ground was frightened to death and said quickly: “It’s absolutely true! Although I can’t remember clearly…but this guy will definitely know something. If it doesn’t work, you can try to stimulate him!”
Gu Wuji looked at the ghost possessing him and picked up the kitchen knife unintentionally, “How do you feel now?”
“I think I’m tired. It’s better to rest first.” The ghost in him shrank back immediately.
It was not like these two ghosts didn’t know what was going on in the outside world. Their impression of Gu Wuji had also undergone a huge change…the previous impression of a pure, kind-hearted and handsome man with no power would never come back.
The female ghost shook her head, and subconsciously moved her body away from Gu Wuji’s hand. How had a scary ghost like her ever been afraid of anyone? But thinking of the other party’s previous ability to quickly bind the ghost in front of her, she couldn’t help but feel a little numb.
“It seems that for some reason, it has far less memory of the past than us… But let’s take it slow.”
“Then let’s go to bed first.” Gu Wuji didn’t think he was the kind of person who forced ghosts. If it didn’t work, forget it.
Although something shocking happened while sleeping before, Gu Wuji insisted that he could not go without sleep. Otherwise, how would he be able to wake up energetically and continue solving the dungeon tomorrow?
What’s more, the boss of the first dungeon wouldn’t be idle enough to find him twice in one night.
The ghost on the ground felt strongly dissatisfied. Why didn’t those two ghosts need to be questioned? But it knew that it was its own problem, so it had no choice but to sigh and continue to be tied up with the rope.
Rong Qingman put the ghost away and felt exhausted. This time when he saw Gu Wuji falling asleep at the speed of light, he didn’t complain in his heart like before. Instead, he lamented Gu Wuji’s psychological quality.
“I used to think that I was going to become a high-level player, and I must be the most powerful among this group of people, but now it seems that I am still a little far behind.” Rong Qingman said this, and arranged several props in the room, made sure they could remind him immediately when danger occurred before falling asleep.
