Soon the destination was reached. Just standing in front of the door, Gu Wuji felt an extremely strong yin energy. He had probably found the right place.
“This is the room where Madam once lived. It has been empty for decades. It is cleaned every day. The master does not allow anyone to touch the things inside.” The housekeeper said.
When Ning Yang saw that Gu Wuji was about to push the door open, he immediately said, “Master Gu, wait, let me handle such a dangerous matter.”
As he said this, he seemed to be afraid that Gu Wuji would try to rob him. So, he quickly pushed the door open, and as soon as it opened, a chill hit his face.
Under the light of the mobile phone, the situation in this room was clearly visible.
It could be seen that this room was indeed being cleaned well now, and the people who cleaned it were not slacking off at all. It was very clean and tidy, and even the things on the cabinets were arranged just as they were decades ago.
But at the same time, because the room was not touched during the subsequent rest, the whole room was filled with a sense of old-fashionedness, especially at this time, which was slightly strange, with black and white photos of the woman hanging on all corners, appearing to stare at whoever entered the room.
The housekeeper didn’t dare to go in at the door, so Gu Wuji asked him to wait at the door while he and Ning Yang went inside.
Although Gu Wuji felt that there was a problem with the Ning family, he couldn’t care less at this time. “Check around to see if there is anything weird. In addition, you must be careful and not damage the room.”
Of course, Gu Wuji’s words were just for the sake of the things in the house, but to Ning Yang it sounded like he was caring about him. He was so moved that he almost cried, and his whole body seemed to injected with chicken blood, as he was looking for something weird everywhere.
Of course, he was also well aware of the dangers here and was very vigilant in his actions to avoid anything irreversible happening.
After all, even within the Ning family, ghosts would get out of control from time to time. Those who failed to remain vigilant had died in various accidents long ago.
Whatever was in this room looked a bit weird, but Gu Wuji thought that if it was a prop like that, people would be able to notice something strange at a glance.
But it was really thanks to Mr. Xia’s order that this room was still exactly as it was decades ago. Otherwise, how would it be possible to find clues related to the past.
Of course, the most concerning thing was the safe hidden in the cabinet. They found it after the butler reminded them, but the safe could not be opened, and the mechanism was very clever. If they used brute force to crack it, the safe would be directly destroyed – God knows that when the housekeeper saw Gu Wuji raising his fist and trying to smash it, he was so frightened that he almost screamed. Fortunately, he stopped Gu Wuji in time.
In fact, Gu Wuji just had a little bit of this idea. He wanted to see if he could force the ghost out like this. How could he be such a violent person?
The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his face. Master Gu seemed to be a quiet girl…but he really felt that she could reach out and smash the safe!
Gu Wuji had no choice but to carefully check the things around him, and begin to think about why he didn’t have the ability to see memories of the past from the items… If he had that ability, things probably wouldn’t be so troublesome now.
Wait –
Gu Wuji suddenly thought of something. Although he couldn’t see the memories of things, he could still see the memories of other ghosts. It would be enough to find individual ghosts and come out to see the memories.
Thinking like this, Gu Wuji immediately prepared to use the ghost control technique to pull out a ghost. If one of them failed, he would summon a few more… After having close contact with the ghost boss from the last dungeon, Gu Wuji’s ghost control technique seemed to have improved.
But at the next moment, a sudden change occurred in the room. The vase in the corner fell to the ground and shattered, making a crisp sound. All the things on the dressing table were scattered, and it looked like someone had smashed everything to the ground out of anger.
Then a large amount of blood stains spread from the walls, carpets, and sheets, making the whole room feel like a river of blood.
The housekeeper outside the door was so scared that he took a few steps back, but he didn’t dare to leave alone. There were so many ghosts in other places!
What’s more, he could no longer escape.
Then the white shadow that appeared before appeared in front of Gu Wuji. Different from before, the figure of the female ghost had become clearer, and the original black holes in place of her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a pair of more human eyes.
The moment the female ghost appeared, the atmosphere in the room changed, and the whole place seemed to be trapped in another dimension. It was as if there were invisible spider webs in the air that tightly entangled people, making everyone unable to move.
The female ghost seemed to have gained confidence because of her increased strength, but Gu Wuji was still a little stressed. After weighing it, the female ghost sneered, opened her bloody mouth, and attacked directly in the direction of Ning Yang.
Ning Yang’s body stiffened there. He was unable to move because he was restrained by the female ghost. He looked at the female ghost with a somewhat panicked look in his eyes and gritted his teeth.
Gu Wuji looked over there, and he could tell that the panic in Ning Yang’s eyes was not because of the female ghost in front of him, but from his own body… He was afraid of something in his body.
What was that? Was it an existence related to the Ning family?
Immediately, a look of pain appeared on Ning Yang’s face, and there were faint blood marks on his face, as if something was about to escape from his body. At this critical moment, he looked in the direction of Gu Wuji and said: “Don’t worry, just leave! Leave me alone.”
Gu Wuji originally wanted to leave it alone and see what would happen to him… But after hearing what the other party said, he suddenly froze. Ever since he encountered various incidents involving the Ning family, he had become obsessed with the truth, and his attitude towards the Ning family had also become different from usual, treating them all as potential enemies.
But it shouldn’t be like this. Ning Yang had never done anything harmful to the world since he met him, and Gu Wuji never felt Master Ning’s strong resentment from him. Even if the Ning family really had problems, there must be many innocent people among them. Not everyone was like Master Ning…
Gu Wuji suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart. He had harbored feelings of prejudice for Ning Yang from the beginning, fortunately now he finally understood it.
“Stand there and don’t move.” Gu Wuji said suddenly, and then took out the kitchen knife calmly.
The sharp kitchen knife seemed to cut through the invisible threads that bound him in an instant.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath and suddenly ran towards the front where the female ghost was. Before the female ghost’s body was about to touch Ning Yang, he suddenly grabbed the female ghost’s arm.
Ning Yang raised his head and looked at Gu Wuji in astonishment. He never expected that Gu Wuji would risk his life to save him at such a time. Perhaps it was because the crisis had disappeared, but all the blood marks on his face had disappeared, while the whole person looked at Gu Wuji with great emotion, and his favorable impression of her increased sharply, “Master Gu…”
Although Gu Wuji had been so indifferent to him before, it was all just a lie! He had already seen that Master Gu was a person who was cold on the outside but full of enthusiasm on the inside!
Gu Wuji found that Ning Yang seemed to be looking at him more passionately, “…”
Forget it, Ning Yang only liked the woman he was disguised as anyway. After he changed back, Ning Yang would naturally forget about this relationship if he couldn’t find him.
So Gu Wuji did not continue to say anything to him, but simply closed his eyes and used the ghost control technique on the female ghost in front of him.
He had noticed before that when the female ghost first appeared, she was just an ordinary ghost. If he had directly used the ghost control technique at that time, he would definitely be able to see the opponent’s memory clearly.
That time, the female ghost escaped from him. This time, although the female ghost had become more terrifying as time went by, she was still within the detection range of his ghost control skills! If he didn’t seize this opportunity, it would be too late next time when this female ghost turned into a powerful ghost.
The moment he used the ghost control technique, the female ghost’s movements stopped. As for Gu Wuji, he successfully saw where the female ghost’s resentment lay, and countless images suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Although Ning Yang didn’t know what Gu Wuji was doing, he felt that it must be a very important matter and immediately waited with bated breath. Of course, he didn’t just stand there and do nothing. Instead, he set some traps so that he could restrain the female ghost when she woke up.
When Gu Wuji was checking the female ghost’s memory, he was slightly startled at first, and then fell into shock. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the female ghost, “You are…”
The female ghost also realized Gu Wuji’s difficulty and didn’t want to be there. At this time, before her strength continued to grow, she struggled with him and suddenly broke free from Gu Wuji’s restraints, and her figure disappeared into the air.
None of the things Ning Yang had arranged before were of any use. He couldn’t help but feel annoyed and look at Gu Wuji worriedly, “Master Gu, are you okay? This female ghost is actually so cunning and ran away… It’s really too terrible.”
“I’m fine.” Gu Wuji said, “But I know that if we don’t go down, something will happen to the people below.”
“What?” Ning Yang looked at him in surprise.
Gu Wuji didn’t say anything else. He just asked Ning Yang to take the housekeeper with him, and he hurried towards the first floor. He was so fast that neither of them could catch up.
Along the way, he could feel that the yin energy in the villa was getting stronger and stronger, and the ghosts that appeared were also getting stronger and stronger.
Of course, these ghosts were still within the range that Gu Wuji could deal with. As he ran and purified the ghosts, he noticed that the Yin Qi in the villa was slowly fading away.
“It seems that the function of the prop in this villa is only to attract other ghosts, thereby making the Yin Qi stronger… But if these ghosts disappear, the Yin Qi will return to its original state.” Gu Wuji thought thoughtfully.
At this time, he had already rushed to the stairs but found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right. It was gloomier than before, but no one seemed to notice it… No, it was better to say that these people’s expressions had become numb.
If this space continued to be maintained, even if they were immortal, these people would probably end up having mental problems.
Gu Wuji thought like this and rushed down, running in the direction of Mr. Xia.
Everyone else looked at Gu Wuji in shock, “Master Gu, what’s going on?”
“Where are the others? Could it be that Ning Yang and the housekeeper…”
“Isn’t he Ning Yang from the Ning family? He can actually do it, did something happen?”
Someone in the crowd suddenly said, “Wait a minute, who knows if she is Master Gu! Maybe someone else is pretending to be her?”
This sentence was like thunder on the ground, and everyone’s expressions changed. After retreating, the masters also looked at Gu Wuji with suspicion, and blocked the path in front of him, preventing him from walking towards Mr. Xia.
“Master Gu, I think you need to explain…”
“What else can I explain?” Gu Wuji pushed away the people who were blocking him, “You all get out of the way. Mr. Xia is in danger now. The female ghost has been aimed at him from the beginning.”
“Mr. Xia’s place is protected by a talisman, and the female ghost cannot go in directly.”
Gu Wuji sighed: “That’s why the female ghost needs to delay. Now she is strong. There is no need to care about the level of these talismans…”
In the next moment, the talismans attached around him turned into ashes in full view of everyone.
The figure of the female ghost had already appeared in front of Mr. Xia, frightening the people around him to freeze. But even if they came back to their senses, there was nothing they could do against the female ghost, their bodies were so stiff that they could not move.
Mr. Xia originally had a look of relief on his face, but after seeing the female ghost’s face clearly, it turned into astonishment.
Gu Wuji gritted his teeth. It would take some time to rush over by himself… As for the props that could be used remotely, he couldn’t even think of any. Even the black shadow ghosts had been sent out and they didn’t know where they were yet.
Just when he thought everything was going to be over, the female ghost’s hand on Mr. Xia’s neck let go as if she was electrocuted.
