At this moment, Gu Wuji felt that the mark on the back of his hand was extremely hot, and he even felt as if his soul was being burned, and even his thoughts seemed to be seen through by some existence.
This strange feeling made Gu Wuji feel uncomfortable all over. The sense of crisis in his mind was so strong that it caused a dull pain in his forehead. If he continued, something terrible would definitely happen.
At this critical moment, Gu Wuji immediately loosened his arms around Felicia and felt that his sight became confused, not as focused as before, and even dissipated soon after.
“What’s going on? Does the evil god have to rely on Felicia to monitor the people in this building? I don’t know what has happened to him.” While Gu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, this thought emerged in his mind, “Then wouldn’t it be very dangerous for me to come into contact with him? It seems that I have to be careful in the future.”
The sense of crisis just now was really terrible, but Gu Wuji had taken the letter on the table and hid it in the pocket of his coat. His goal had been achieved.
Felicia didn’t think there was anything wrong with Gu Wuji’s behavior. He immediately sat on a chair beside him and motioned Gu Wuji to sit opposite him.
“You should be very clear about the ceremony.” Felicia said, “I’ll have to trouble you to monitor them these few days.”
“Of course no problem.” Gu Wuji said this calmly, thinking in his heart how to get the information out of the other party without leaving a trace, “But what if they…”
“It doesn’t matter, you don’t have to think too much.” Felicia automatically made up something from Gu Wuji’s hesitation, and continued, “The ceremony cannot be stopped. If they try to leave this place, they will just die on the road. You can go anywhere else, just don’t let them enter the door.”
Gu Wuji keenly realized that this door must be an extremely important place, and tentatively spoke, “What if they accidentally get close to it?”
Felicia immediately showed a sneer with a bit of sarcasm, “Before that, they will have fallen into madness.”
Gu Wuji thought, it seems that the door is not so easy to approach, if you get close to it, you may have hallucinations and it is extremely dangerous.
“What you have to do is to monitor them for any unusual movements. The sacrifice cannot have any problems. If they die in a place where they shouldn’t, it will be troublesome to deal with them.” Felicia seemed to remember something, “Although such a situation rarely occurs, you must be careful not to let other people appear under the strong light.”
“Okay.” Gu Wuji nodded but was shocked in his heart.
Indeed, the fog and gray sky surrounding this copy, as well as the candles lighting inside the buildings, all made the tones here so dim. But since most copies were like this, Gu Wuji didn’t think too much about it.
But now Felicia specifically mentioned, what exactly would this strong light allow the players to discover, or what would it expose?
Gu Wuji felt that if he continued asking, it might arouse the other party’s vigilance, but this much information alone was already a lot, and this identity was really convenient.
“By the way, how do you feel?” Felicia looked over worriedly again, “You felt so uncomfortable before, what’s wrong?”
“No, I’m sorry to make you worry, young master.” Gu Wuji said immediately, “I’m just afraid that other people will get suspicious.”
“I wanted to meet you alone too much before.” Felicia sighed, his eyes were a little lonely, as if saying such words made him feel very painful, “I’ll pay attention in the future.”
Gu Wuji had decided to ignore the gay atmosphere in these words. In short, this would reduce the difficulty of him completing the side quest.
“Then I’ll leave first.” Gu Wuji said this and stood up. It was too dangerous to stay in this room. If he accidentally talked about the past and exposed his identity, or if he came into contact with Felicia and attracted the attention of the evil god, both would be death.
Felicia looked at him, hesitant to speak, “No…?”
Gu Wuji: “…”
Felicia looked at Gu Wuji with his amber eyes, and whispered, “It’s what you did every time we parted before.”
While saying this, he had already walked in front of Gu Wuji and gently closed his eyes, waiting for something now.
Gu Wuji: “…”
What was it?!
Of course, seeing Felicia like this, Gu Wuji almost didn’t have to guess what it was. He gritted his teeth and leaned over to give the other person a quick kiss on the cheek, then turned and left the room.
Fortunately, the contact was short-lived and did not cause any other problems.
The corridor outside was also very dark, without even an oil lamp for lighting, and the servants were not able to bump into any.
Moreover, the layout of this building was very strange. The master’s bedroom had to go through a long and winding corridor. There were many locked rooms in the middle for unknown reasons, and there were many branch roads. It was just like a chase scene in a horror game.
“Was it so long when we got here? I didn’t pay much attention because I was led by servants and didn’t have to walk by myself. Or maybe the terrain here changed after dark… I should have brought an oil lamp with me.” But Gu Wuji no longer had the courage to go back, not to mention that the terrain might have changed when he went back.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Gu Wuji walked forward and looked out of the window. He saw a dark shadow standing outside. It looked like a human figure, but it was too dark to see clearly.
How could someone be outside when it was almost dark? Moreover, it was on the second floor, so how could a human be that tall?
The next moment, the shadow came closer and closer and was already touching the glass. One could clearly see a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at Gu Wuji, and the pair of claw-like hands penetrated the glass, and it seemed that as time passed, it would invade the building.
What was even more terrifying was that there was not just one such ghost, there were many shadows swaying behind it, and the outside of the building seemed to be surrounded by ghosts.
“It looks like it’s a ghost.” Gu Wuji felt relieved thinking about it, and leaned over and said, “What a coincidence. I want to ask you, how can I get to the hall?”
The ghost was stunned immediately.
“I’m sorry, it’s really difficult to walk here.” Gu Wuji sighed immediately.
The ghost became furious and immediately squeezed half of his body in with difficulty, wishing he could kill the human immediately. However, he suddenly felt a strong sense of threat. When he looked up, he saw a kitchen knife that appeared in Gu Wuji’s hand.
The kitchen knife was filled with evil spirit and resentment. It was not like an ordinary kitchen knife at all. It gave off a terrifying feeling that made the ghosts tremble.
“Suddenly I thought I should bring a kitchen knife for self-defense so late at night.” Gu Wuji said, “Of course I am definitely not targeting you.”
Ghost: “…”
The next moment Gu Wuji’s hand suddenly rested on its shoulder, and a binding magic was cast. The ghost immediately felt as if his body was fixed here.
“!!” What kind of black technology is this? Is this still a human being??
It turned its head again and found that all the other ghosts had disappeared. In such a big place, there was only it and a human being in front of it.
Damn it!! It turns out that these ghosts are unreliable!
“Of course.” The ghost looked at Gu Wuji in front of him, and his attitude became extremely friendly. “But it is not easy for us to enter this building.” The implication was that Gu Wuji should let it go quickly.
“Is it because there is something in the building that can drive away ghosts, or are you afraid of something here?” Gu Wuji asked directly when he had the chance.
“I’m not really sure, but I subconsciously felt that I couldn’t get close to you. Especially when there is light. Generally, servants in villas will walk around with oil lamps. I just saw that you didn’t bring anything, so I…” The ghost said with great regret in his heart. He originally thought that you were an easy target, but who knew that you were such a scary guy.
No wonder the other ghosts were watching from behind, and only it stupidly rushed over first!
“I see.” Gu Wuji realized that the oil lamps in this building might have the effect of exorcising ghosts. Could it be related to the strong light that Felicia mentioned?
“Can I go now?” The ghost looked at Gu Wuji with pleading eyes.
“Don’t be so anxious, I still need you to lead the way for me.” Gu Wuji stretched out his hand and grabbed the ghost, pulling it hard, and immediately pulled the other party directly in from the outside world. However, the ghost that originally had a long and twisted body turned into a ghost with the appearance of an ordinary man in this building.
The ghost was completely dumbfounded, but what else could it do? It could only bite the bullet and move forward with Gu Wuji…
….
At this time, the players were not ready to go back to the room to rest, and they explored the surroundings a little. Of course, they already knew the situation of the copy, and they all held oil lamps in their hands.
The main quest could be completed by just waiting, but they were not satisfied with that. How could someone without ambition come to this copy specifically?
What’s more, everyone had their own separate side quests to complete.
Rong Qingman sat on the sofa and sighed, thinking that it was still unknown whether Gu Wuji was alive or dead. When he and Felicia asked about it, the other party had a gloomy face and acted as if the person was already dead. He became worried.
The people around didn’t say anything about this. Since you have entered the copy, you must be prepared to die.
“It’s getting dark now, and you guys haven’t gone back yet? I guess you’re all preparing to participate in that event.” A player suddenly spoke up.
The others all looked solemn.
“I believe everyone has read through the information before entering the dungeon, so there is nothing to hide.” The man said, “This building will change at night and return to the state of the building hundreds of years ago. There will also be many monsters and ghosts. It can be said to be extremely dangerous.”
“Yes, if you are lucky, you can even learn the truth about the *** incident that year.” Another person said, “But compared to these, what everyone hopes for most…”
“Yes, it is at this time that we can have that opportunity.” The person who spoke suddenly became passionate, “The opportunity to prove our faith to that god.”
