Director Fiona’s body immediately stiffened.
Then the mermaid’s golden eyes didn’t look at him, but continued to look around, as if he was still looking for someone. Soon, his eyes fell on Gu Wuji, who was almost overwhelmed by ghosts.
The ghosts that originally attacked Gu Wuji became sluggish in their movements, and the scales on Gu Wuji’s body also started faintly glowing.
Director Fiona’s expression changed, and he stretched out his hand to beat the tank in front of him unwillingly, finally realizing that what he had always feared had happened. It seemed that Gu Wuji was really the sacrifice he was supposed to find this time, but he missed the opportunity to kill the other party, and the mermaid woke up because of this.
He hurriedly turned around and walked towards the instrument on the side. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, he naturally prepared other back-up plans.
But when Director Fiona had just taken a step forward, he found countless ghosts wrapped around his body, and his expression immediately changed.
These ghosts had long been full of resentment towards Director Fiona, who caused their current tragedy, but they were unable to do so because the other party controlled the world. Now that they had finally got the opportunity to take revenge, how could they let it go.
“Go away! Stay away from me -“
Director Fiona gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward, but with every step he took, part of his body would fade away, and the number of ghosts entangled around him would increase.
At the same time, the voice that resounded in everyone’s ears was extremely clear at this moment, echoing in their minds, and everyone was stunned.
At this time, the entire space was in dilapidated condition, and the water had reached up to the person’s neck.
Gu Wuji saw that the ghosts around him had dispersed, and he swam to the water tank with difficulty and met the mermaid’s eyes.
The other party bent down affectionately, with an astonishingly beautiful face just a stone’s throw away from Gu Wuji, with long silver hair floating behind him. The whole picture was as beautiful as a scene that would only appear in a dream.
Of course, only Gu Wuji could see this scene. Everyone else was busy avoiding various dangers in the water at this time.
The moment he saw those golden eyes, Gu Wuji seemed to hear a gentle voice ringing in his mind. The voice was not human language, but something he had never heard before, but he could clearly understand it. He understood what the other person meant, and even felt that the voice was very kind, which made him subconsciously feel good about him.
The other party was asking him what kind of dream he wanted.
It didn’t matter what kind of dream it was, as long as it was what he wanted, he could create such a space, and Gu Wuji would be the master of this space, where he could do whatever he wanted.
The ability to turn your dreams into reality was indeed irresistible.
At this moment, Gu Wuji couldn’t help but feel Director Fiona’s research efforts. Under such tempting circumstances, he actually chose to continue research.
Of course, for Gu Wuji, he didn’t care about these things at all. What he wanted was his entertainment career. What’s more, this was just a copy. Anyone with a clear mind could resist this temptation…. not to mention. Gu Wuji had been thinking about it before. After entering this dungeon, he got hints from the mermaid everywhere, and even got help from the other party. Maybe the other party didn’t want to see this dream continue.
“It must be hard for you to be locked up here for so long.” He took a deep breath and said softly to the merman: “No, this dream doesn’t need to continue anymore, we can all wake up.”
Gu Wuji’s words made the others stunned while struggling to fight against the voice in their heads.
The mermaid didn’t show surprise because of Gu Wuji’s choice. He just stared at Gu Wuji tenderly.
“Everything will go as you wish.”
Because the dream was about to end, this space was already becoming overwhelmed, and a large amount of seawater poured in, drowning everyone in it in an instant.
And Gu Wuji clearly saw as the glass of the tank in front of him suddenly shattered, and the mermaid swam out of it, with a strong sense of oppression coming over his face.
At this moment, Gu Wuji once again clearly realized that in addition to being beautiful, this mermaid was also a very dangerous existence.
In this dream, when his opponent was about to end, his consciousness slowly fell into darkness, and he vaguely felt something cold wrapping around his hand.
At this moment, Gu Wuji suddenly thought that it seemed that he had not yet figured out what the mermaid was looking for when he came here from the deep sea————
[Complete the main task: complete daily work and find the truth about the research institute.]
[Trigger new main mission: Escape from this sea area.]
The moment Gu Wuji woke up after hearing the system’s words, he found that he was in the sea… to be precise, he was on a ship that was slowly sinking. At this time, most of the ship had sunk and the cabin where Gu Wuji stood was already completely submerged in water.
Looking out from the side window, the outside world was the sea area full of rocks that he saw in the illusion. As for the location of the research institute, there was only a ruin, and it was very close to the location of the cabin.
[At this time you finally realized that you had actually suffered a shipwreck before. And at that moment, your consciousness was involved in the illusion around you, and false memories were forged. In fact, this research institute has been in ruins from the beginning, and the people inside had all died as early as ten years ago.]
Gu Wuji fell silent immediately. More than ten years had passed, so how many times had this dream happened again? No wonder the ghosts inside looked full of resentment.
He didn’t know what happened to the other mermaids he fed inside, whether they were phantoms in dreams or real creatures.
[Now you have broken free from the illusion, but everything is still not over. The ghosts in this sea will not let you go so easily.]
[Only by floating to the surface as soon as possible and looking for rescue ships can you leave alive. So hurry up as soon as possible.]
Gu Wuji now understood everything. No wonder Director Fiona could have newcomers to the institute all the time. They were basically all young men captured from a nearby shipwrecks. Even if there was no plan to suspect that an accident would happen on this ship, Director Fiona may be responsible for the accident.
The system prompts this time could be said to be extremely detailed. Gu Wuji thought it was understandable. After all, they could be said to be in an extremely dangerous situation now. If they bothered to investigate the situation, they would probably drown.
What’s more, the main content of this copy was in the previous dream, and now it’s almost the same when they woke up.
He originally wanted to violently break down the window and go out, but he saw traces of ghosts outside the window. These ghosts had nothing to do with this copy. They seemed to be just people who died here because of the dangers in this sea area.
Gu Wuji immediately gave up the idea of going out directly through the window… Even if he could use the purification technique, there were too many ghosts. It would be bad if he accidentally suffocated without completing the purification.
Gu Wuji hurriedly swam out of the room and swam to the lobby of the ship. Only then did he breathe the outside air and notice the presence of other players. However, everyone was busy running for their lives at this time, and no one had time to say anything. What was going on?
But at this moment, Gu Wuji clearly noticed the figure haunted by a large number of ghosts on the side of the hall. It was Director Fiona. Ordinary people would have died by now, that was, Director Fiona himself should be a high-level ghost to be able to hold on for so long.
Director Fiona was devastated that his wish could not be realized at this time. So when he saw Gu Wuji coming, he immediately sneered, “Do you still want to mock me? Don’t think that I can’t drag you to death… let alone the fact that you probably can’t save yourself at this time.”
“I just want to thank the lady for her help,” Gu Wuji said, otherwise he wouldn’t have rushed to save a ghost in such a critical situation.
Under Director Fiona’s surprised eyes, Gu Wuji purified all the ghosts around him.
Now that they were freed from the control of dreams, these ghosts could truly be purified successfully. After purification, they all looked at Gu Wuji with a grateful look in their eyes, and their figures disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this astonishing scene, Director Fiona was stunned. He finally realized how Gu Wuji had managed to survive before, “You actually have such an ability. No wonder… no wonder those ghosts are not willing to hurt you. Is the lady you are talking about my fiance? Where is she now?”
“I don’t know, she should still be here.” Gu Wuji said, “Maybe she doesn’t want to meet you yet, but she doesn’t hope you will continue to do this either, so she gave me some reminders.”
“So, it seems that you have really met her, and this seems like her character. It seems that maybe it’s for the best that I don’t continue, in the end everything is my obsession…”
Director Fiona’s eyes were very complicated, as if he was finally relieved, but there was also a kind of pain hidden in his eyes.
After Gu Wuji finished helping him, he was about to leave, but Director Fiona suddenly stopped him, “Be careful, the current situation is very unfavorable for you.”
“What?” Gu Wuji turned his head, he never expected that at this time, Director Fiona had something else to remind him about.
“I have investigated the reason why that mermaid appeared.” Director Fiona looked at Gu Wuji solemnly, “He came here to find the human being who is most compatible with his spiritual power, everything is because of…”
“The mermaid’s estrus period has come, and what he is looking for is his partner.”
Gu Wuji: “…”
Gu Wuji: “…”
Gu Wuji: ” ?”
