Everyone above, except for the male player who fed the fish with Gu Wuji yesterday, thought that he was most likely in trouble.
“The test subjects in the water are very ferocious…and they haven’t eaten since today. Your companion is probably dead.” A researcher said with a cold sweat on his face.
What the male player was thinking about was yesterday, the scene of the so-called ferocious mermaids being casually petted by Gu Wuji, each one of them acting cute and so on… It was estimated that anyone here would get into trouble if they went down, only he would never have any problems!
But after all, he had made an appointment with Gu Wuji, and who knew what Fiona would do if he said it, so he just kept these words in his heart.
Lu Yuanzhou’s expression changed drastically, he suppressed the tingling feeling in his mind, and immediately controlled the female ghost to attack Director Fiona, but to his surprise, the female ghost did not come out at all.
Others more or less felt that their props had gone out of control, and they all looked at Director Fiona in astonishment.
Was this human-looking NPC more terrifying than other ghost bosses?
“Although things are different from what I planned before, it’s almost the same.” Director Fiona looked at everyone: “Your companion is dead now, and the mermaids in the water will tear him into pieces… However, as long as you are obedient, there is still a chance of survival.”
Director Fiona never thought about the possibility of Gu Wuji surviving, not to mention those terrifying experimental mermaids in the water, which were extremely ferocious. They didn’t even know how many breeders they had killed.
There were even those ghosts in the water. They had been bound here for so long and had thus become filled with resentment. If this continued, a human being would definitely be tortured to death by these two things.
How could an ordinary person like Gu Wuji survive in the hands of these two monsters? Director Fiona didn’t even bother to pay attention after accidentally falling into the water.
As for the fact that Gu Wuji fed the fish without incident yesterday, Director Fiona did not pay any attention to it. He just thought that Gu Wuji was lucky to have more meat because of his strength. It was impossible to say that a human could make these mermaids obey.
Then everyone looked at Falcon with pleading eyes. At this time, they didn’t care so much anymore. Compared with joining the organization, saving their own lives was the most important thing.
The scene of Gu Wuji being pulled into the water without any resistance really filled their hearts with fear, and they didn’t want to die as tragically as Gu Wuji.
Lu Yuanzhou gritted his teeth, deeply regretting how he had dragged Gu Wuji into this copy this time, but in his heart, he was expecting Gu Wuji to survive as before… But Lu Yuanzhou also felt that this hope was slim.
After all, the several miraculous situations that occurred in the previous dungeons, how could it happen in every dungeon.
“Gu Wuji, you must be fine.”
Falcon still managed to remain calm at this time, and he spoke very quickly: “There is nothing we can do now. In fact, what I have investigated… proves that in the dungeon, everything is now controlled by the mermaid, but because of his sleep, Director Fiona has now gained control of the world. We can only solve the problem at hand by getting the mermaid to stand on our side.”
“It can be said that there is basically no one in this dungeon who can stand up to Director Fiona. If we bite the bullet and take action, the outcome will be the same as that of Sun Shi.”
Everyone had cold sweat on their faces. Weirdly, the terrifying image of Gu Wuji being bitten to death by a mermaid seemed to appear in their minds.
A look of pain and unwillingness appeared on Lu Yuanzhou’s face, but he also knew that he needed to calm down before he could avenge Gu Wuji. He could not die needlessly in the dungeon after sacrificing Gu Wuji.
“What we have to do is to listen to Director Fiona for the time being, and then take advantage of the opportunity to make a sacrifice.” Falcon said: “As long as the mermaid can be awakened, everything will be fine…”
Of course, he also concealed things, anyway, as long as he was the one who woke up the mermaid, there would be no way for others to compete with him for the prop.
….
Gu Wuji was actually not shocked for long. After all, in the supernatural dungeon, real living NPCs were rare, and they had long been prepared for problems with the people in this research institute.
Compared with those things, Gu Wuji seized the opportunity this time and used the ghost control technique to explore their memories before purifying the ghosts.
This was his best chance to know the truth about this dungeon. If he missed it, this dungeon may be finished.
Of course, this was also very risky. After all, if he accidentally looked at the memory for too long, he may drown in the water, but Gu Wuji had no other way.
Although these ghosts reappeared in such a weird way after being purified, which made Gu Wuji suspect that he was dreaming but the use of ghost control skills to check the memory went very smoothly.
The ghost’s most profound memory during his lifetime was the first-person perspective of the research institute that appeared in Gu Wuji’s mind.
The research institute in this picture was already like the scene of some horror movie. The lights had been dimmed to the extreme, chairs and documents were scattered on the floor, corpses were everywhere on the ground, and the blood had stained the ground red.
What scared the person who had this memory was that these corpses all died of suicide. And they all had smiles on their faces, as if they had seen a very wonderful scene before they died.
The person involved took a deep breath and walked around the institute, stepping over other corpses with difficulty. She seemed to have high authority in this institute. After entering the elevator, she reached out and tremblingly pressed the button for the bottom floor.
When the door opened, what appeared in front of Gu Wuji was a very astonishing sight.
An entire wall of this space was covered with transparent glass, allowing a clear view of the sea from here. But the water outside was not so calm. It looked dark and oppressive, giving people a feeling of being unable to breathe.
In the center of the room was a huge water tank, and there was a mermaid sleeping in it. His long silver hair spread out in the water, and various tubes were inserted into his body, connected to several surrounding instruments.
The mermaid was exactly the same as the figure Gu Wuji saw in his hallucination. Even though he was still asleep at this time, the power faintly revealed in his body was already frightening. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the other person would be when he woke up.
Director Fiona was standing by the sink, with a very calm, yet creepy look on his face.
Gu Wuji could feel what the owner of this memory was saying. She said that she had never expected that the current situation would become like this. She thought she would ask Fiona to kill the mermaid and then the matter would be resolved.
“I know you are still very concerned about her death, but there is nothing you can do now. If this mermaid is not killed, we will all die here! Everyone else has already…” The memory master’s voice was already trembling, “The experiment has failed. What we are trying to do is simply impossible. How can something like that be done?”
Gu Wuji noticed that the woman she mentioned should be Director Fiona’s fiancée.
“What are you talking about?” Director Fiona looked over with a look of disbelief on her face and said with a smile: “Now the experiment is just about to begin, and you will also be a witness.”
The female body could no longer live. She began to tremble, and her words were filled with shock, “W-what, what have you done…”
At this moment, Gu Wuji could clearly see from his perspective that the mermaid in the tank seemed to have opened his eyes slightly.
As if this moment was no longer a memory, Gu Wuji even felt the golden eyes looking at him. The next moment, Gu Wuji was suddenly pulled away from this state.
He then realized that he was almost drowning in the water. Fortunately, there were several mermaids nearby who were pulling him to swim.
Gu Wuji immediately felt moved. These well-behaved and sensible mermaids must have taken him to the water to breathe fresh air.
Could it be that the mermaid was just reminding him? However, Gu Wuji felt that it was more of a coincidence.
It seemed that Director Fiona relied on the power of the mermaid to do something to make this institute become the ghost house it was now. The ghosts of other people were probably imprisoned in this place, and they were probably not aware that they were dead.
The Director Fiona in the hallucination he saw before may have been in the time period before this memory… Gu Wuji also felt that he seemed a little reckless just now, but if it weren’t for this, Director Fiona would not reveal it and come up with something.
So the current situation was that Director Fiona wanted players like them to sacrifice themselves. After all, the people in the institute were all dead, so why sacrifice them. Maybe Director Fiona himself was also dead.
But what exactly were these players in this institute…and what exactly did Director Fiona want to do?
Gu Wuji was thinking deeply here, and then he suddenly noticed that several mermaids were pulling him to swim deeper into the water.
“Wait…” This position was not right at all!
Gu Wuji immediately started struggling, wanting these mermaids to take him up to breathe air.
But these mermaids seemed to suddenly not understand what Gu Wuji was saying. Some mermaids came over and rubbed Gu Wuji’s hand, pointing downwards, as if they wanted to show him something.
Gu Wuji: “!!”
He will die if this continues! Is there anything else in the water that he should see?
Gu Wuji covered his mouth and nose, but even so he felt like he was suffocating.
Sure enough, before entering such a dungeon, he should find a way to get some props that can breathe in water…
Just when he was about to faint, the scales placed in his clothes became hot again.
