At this time, the two people behind the scenes who wanted to take action were still standing on the second floor. They were a middle-aged man and a submissive young man. This middle-aged man could be considered a member of the Xia family. But because he really had no talent, he found a job in the main department that did not require any skills.
In fact, he was just eating and living here, but he always thought that since he had dedicated himself here for so long, the Xia family should give him part of the property, so he started to take action at this time.
The young man next to him was his uneducated son.
The two planned how they would hire someone to appear in disguise as a female ghost, and then give all the credit to the young man. They had even hired an actor to disguise as a female ghost for this purpose, and were only waiting until the critical moment to appear.
After all, although this middle-aged man had no strength, he had lived here for decades and had bribed many people. He thus thought he could hide the truth.
As for whether there would be ghosts, he had never believed it. After living here for so long, could he still not know whether there were ghosts?
Then, a white figure appeared behind the two people. The figure was extremely pale and looked extremely dazzling in the dark second floor.
The white figure patted the middle-aged man gently, and the middle-aged man turned his head. After seeing the pale figure, he thought it was the actor he had found. His face suddenly showed impatience and his tone was anxious, “Why are you here? Didn’t we agree to be on standby on the first floor? What if you are exposed here?”
The white figure: “??”
The son on the side suddenly realized that something was wrong. Of course, it was because he was far away from his father. The white figure was closer to him, and he could clearly see that the other person was not wearing white cloth… Even the figure was translucent, and he could faintly see the scene on the other side.
Could it be that… the son suddenly marveled, have the skills of actors playing ghosts reached this level now? It should be said that technology really changed life.
“This plan must not fail. If something goes wrong, can you afford my loss?” The middle-aged man was still talking to the white figure, “Go back quickly now.”
Then, above the hall, outside the glass window, a body hanging upside down suddenly appeared, and there was a muffled sound when it slapped on the glass window.
When everyone below saw this scene, many people screamed. Some people already wanted to rush out of the door and leave. However, when they rushed to the door, they found that the door seemed to be welded shut and could not be opened no matter what.
“What the hell is going on!?”
“Let me leave quickly, I don’t want to stay here anymore -“
“Why is there a body in that position, and it even moved! This, this is a ghost!”
Under the successive blows, many people here had collapsed. They did not expect that they would encounter such a plot that only appeared in ghost movies.
At this time, the masters invited by the Xia family immediately became the spiritual support of everyone, and everyone gathered around the masters, not daring to leave at all, lest they encounter any danger.
The son on the second floor was shocked when he saw this scene: “Dad, is this the actor you found? This is too powerful. How much did it cost? This actor worked too hard.”
But the middle-aged man after hearing his words, showed a look of surprise on his face, “Didn’t you find it? I didn’t arrange it at all.”
The two of them looked at each other, and at this time, the corpse outside the window seemed to be moving, no, it really moved. The head that was originally facing the outside world turned around abruptly. A pair of eyes looked at the father and son coldly, and an exaggerated smile appeared on the rotten face.
The middle-aged man and his son were so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground and their legs became weak. However, compared to this, the middle-aged man looked at the white figure beside him tremblingly, and finally realized what the existence in front of him was.……
“Ahhhhhhhh!!”
A shrill scream came from the second floor, and everyone below froze again, “What is that? Who else is in trouble?”
The servants and housekeepers inside the villa all had ugly expressions on their faces. Of course they knew who the voice came from, but they didn’t expect that even the middle-aged man was in danger.
“Everyone, please don’t run around. The police will be here soon, and we will be fine by then.” The housekeeper immediately spoke to reassure everyone.
Although everyone calmed down temporarily, they all felt that the situation at this time was not optimistic. After all, the outside seemed to be the place with the most ghosts. Those who rushed out to call the police before might have encountered something unexpected.
Gu Wuji stood there, thinking about what he should do. After all, the situation at this time was too chaotic…
At this moment, the sound of the system immediately sounded in his ears.
[Triggered real-world random mission.]
[In this villa, someone used a certain ghost prop as a medium to call out other existences that should not appear here, destroying the original peace of this place.]
[This is against the rules of the system. Players are asked to find the medium and restore this place to normal. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, there will be more and more ghosts in this house, and the ghost as a medium will become more powerful.]
[Players will receive generous rewards after completing the mission.]
Gu Wuji was immediately keenly aware of the information hidden in the system’s words, “The change that occurred here was because someone used props? So… maybe there is another player hiding in this place, or even the other party. What kind of advanced player do I have to deal with then?”
What he was thinking about was that it seemed that other people could indeed use props that violated system rules in reality, but they must bear some consequences. Of course, these consequences may be what these people can bear.
“Judging from this way of doing things, maybe what happened in the bar last time was also done by someone… What are they thinking about this time.”
In fact, it didn’t matter if he had no plan. Anyway, he had offended that person and Ning family, it was okay to have more enemies.
What’s more, he really didn’t feel any urgent sense of crisis.
And rather than being retaliated against in the future, wasn’t now the best time to approach that player and force him to tell him what he wanted to do?
Gu Wuji became slightly excited when he thought of this.
“But that person also used ghosts as a medium. The most obvious ghost that exists in this house…” Gu Wuji’s eyes looked at the huge oil painting hanging on the wall. It originally had the kind of ghost attached to it. The feeling had completely disappeared at this time, leaving only a painting that seemed to have lost its soul.
“I guess he chose to use the soul attached to the portrait.” Gu Wuji thought, “According to the system, I have to find the location of the soul quickly so that I can solve this matter.”
According to the general copy, there was a pattern that ghosts will appear at the place where they died, so should he go to the place where the lady committed suicide this time?
At this moment, screams suddenly broke out again from the surrounding crowd.
“Then, what is that?!”
Everyone looked up and saw a white figure suddenly appearing on the stairwell of the second floor, above the portrait.
“It’s madam…” The housekeeper couldn’t help but murmur, “It’s her!”
“She’s here for revenge!” The servant on the other side said in horror, “She will never let us go!”
The young masters all heard the words of the Xia family servants and were trembling with fear. They had nothing to do with the Xia family! There was no grudge against that lady, so why did such a thing happen at this time? If they had known that the situation would turn out like this, they would not have come here at all.
Several masters looked ugly, and immediately subconsciously approached Gu Wuji. After all, they always felt that Master Gu was safer. Others followed these masters closely, feeling that they were the only ones relying on to protect their lives.
Of course, no one dared to approach the female ghost rashly at this time. Who knew how terrifying this female ghost was. It would be too tragic to die directly here.
Unknowingly, almost everyone gathered around Gu Wuji, but because the environment was too dark and everyone was panicked, no one realized this.
At this moment, their eyes couldn’t help but fall on Gu Wuji, hoping that Master Gu, a worldly expert, could do something. To be honest, it was all because of her that they felt a lot more at ease.
This look made many ordinary people around them notice it, and they all felt puzzled. Gu Wuji looked like an ordinary person.
Xia Xi hid in the crowd, looking at the scene in front of him, obviously in a good mood, “It’s really interesting, but there is still something missing. The strength of these people is not impressive at all…”
Gu Wuji didn’t have these people. After explaining his concerns to Xia Yangshuo, he hurried towards the stairs. Because everyone else was very scared and backed away, there was a large space here, allowing him to reach the bottom of the stairs very smoothly.
“Master Gu, what are you going to do?!” Ning Yang’s urgent voice sounded, “Wait for me, I want to go with you!”
Everyone felt the mystery, and Gu Wuji rushed over alone as if it was puzzling that he was sent to death, and it was even more confusing when Ning Yang chased after him.
And they looked like a quarreling couple. After all, neither of them looked like masters at all… It gave people the feeling of quarreling with their lives, and single-handedly changing the atmosphere of this place.
Only those people who had seen Gu Wuji do something before were slightly excited, thinking that Master Gu was definitely going to show off his skills, and they wanted to give Gu Wuji a call from below.
Gu Wuji stood at the bottom of the stairs. Then without even a moment’s hesitation, he rushed upstairs quickly. His swift and fierce posture was even… as if he was afraid that the female ghost would run away.
People around looked at this scene and wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes, or if there was something wrong with their brains when they were too frightened. Why did they feel like this!
