Gu Wuji didn’t know how to solve the problem, so he just let the ghost stay on his body for the time being. Anyway, he had encountered such things frequently in previous copies.
“It’s so late, and I don’t know where my room is, so I’ll just sleep in the hall. You keep an eye on it for me.”
Under the ghost’s astonished gaze, Gu Wuji lay down on the sofa and fell asleep very quickly.
The ghost was shocked. What kind of person could sleep so calmly in such an environment? But it could only stand by trembling with fear, thinking that this might be another test given to it by this human.
….
Gu Wuji was already prepared for what he would dream about, but this time he had no dreams all night until dawn. So when he woke up, he was very confused.
The ghost had gone into hiding. The other players had also returned to the hall in groups of three or four. When they saw Gu Wuji, they looked a little surprised, probably wondering how he was still alive.
However, their gaze only lingered on Gu Wuji for a brief moment. After all, too many things happened yesterday, and people had no time to pay attention to a passerby like him. In other words, the player Lao Tan looked at Gu Wuji a few more times and had already started thinking about how to make him a cannon fodder.
Rong Qingman was extremely excited as he held Gu Wuji’s hand. He had been worried all night yesterday and had not even looked for the token in the building. When he came out in the morning and saw Gu Wuji lying in the hall, he was so moved that he almost cried.
Then a dazzling gaze swept over, and Gu Wuji saw Felicia walking from the side. Thinking that his relationship with him seemed a little abnormal, he immediately pushed Rong Qingman away and said lightly, “I’m fine.”
Rong Qingman was not a fool, and he immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked at Felicia who was walking over there, and a horrible guess began to form in his mind: this person who might be the boss of the dungeon might also have taken a fancy to Gu Wuji.
Gu Wuji had attracted the boss’s attention almost 100%.
In any case, after Rong Qingman had this guess, he of course made sure to keep some distance from Gu Wuji on the surface. He didn’t want to be targeted by the boss because of such a relationship.
At this time, everyone gathered at the dining table. It could be seen that two or three people were missing, but no one objected to this, as if it was a very natural thing.
Gu Wuji noticed that everyone looked a little haggard, except for the player called Viper, who looked somewhat excited. After all, except for Gu Wuji who fell asleep in the hall as if nothing had happened, almost everyone stayed up all night.
“How did everyone rest yesterday?” Felicia asked calmly, as if he was asking a question to which he already knew the answer.
Everyone stayed silent and didn’t say anything.
“No matter what you do, there is one thing that is not allowed here.” Felicia said, “You must not destroy anything in this building. Someone triggered this rule yesterday…”
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but look at the empty space, probably knowing what their fate would have been.
“Okay, everyone must be hungry now, let’s enjoy breakfast.” Felicia clapped his hands, and the butler next to him asked the servants to bring the food.
With yesterday’s experience, everyone was mentally prepared before they opened the plates today, but the food that appeared before them looked like a very nutritious, complete and delicious breakfast.
“It seems that even in this dungeon, people won’t be allowed to eat that kind of food every day.” Many people breathed a sigh of relief. They might not be able to survive by eating raw meat every day.
Rong Qingman also discovered that the food on Gu Wuji’s plate was much richer than his, which made him more certain of his previous thoughts. But because he could be said to be a die-hard fan of Gu Wuji, he began to dislike Felicia no matter how he looked at him. He was just an NPC in a dungeon, or maybe a boss. He actually wanted to seduce Gu Wuji. He was just dreaming.
Felicia on the other side was also paying attention to his image because of Gu Wuji’s words yesterday, so he rarely glanced at Gu Wuji. Otherwise, he would like to take a closer look to see if Gu Wuji had eaten and drunk enough.
Most of the players didn’t notice this, only Viper over there looked at the two of them with a meaningful look.
Gu Wuji didn’t notice the turmoil at the dining table at all. What he noticed was that the burnt smell on the servants around him was getting stronger and stronger.
“What is going on…”
After finishing breakfast. Everyone was hurriedly preparing to go back to their rooms to rest, and Gu Wuji also followed Rong Qingman forward.
During the day the building looked perfectly normal and the corridors were ordinary, nothing like the maze-like place it was at night. The players’ accommodations were all in a corridor on the second floor, and most of them were double rooms.
The decoration in the room was quite good, but everything was full of a sense of simplicity. It was not as comfortable as a luxury hotel, but it was a very good environment for a dungeon.
Even the yin energy in this room was not as strong as that outside, giving people a very safe feeling.
There was also an oil lamp on the table with an unlit candle in it and matches next to it, which seemed to be something every player had.
Gu Wuji became even more certain that he had mistakenly entered some strange space last night, and Rong Qingman’s next words further confirmed his thoughts.
Rong Qingman was afraid that Gu Wuji might encounter something again, so he quickly told him all the information he knew.
Gu Wuji also asked whether the former owner of the building had a daughter and what happened to her later, but Rong Qingman didn’t know that, so he had to give up.
“I see.” Gu Wuji nodded, “So, this building will become a place where time and space are distorted and disordered every night, and what you have to do is to get as many tokens as possible, so that you can get the blessing of God on the last day.”
Thinking that the god was most likely the evil god, Gu Wuji felt a little weird. He was already avoiding him, but these people were still eager to become fanatical believers of the evil god, although he could understand these people.
Forget it. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he should just not get any token of his love. Even so, Gu Wuji also knew that the entanglement between himself and the evil god would definitely not be so easily solved. Now he still had to investigate more information about the copies and find out the truth here so that he could leave safely.
However, Gu Wuji remembered that his character was a fanatical follower of the evil god. Logically, he should be the kind of person who can’t wait to get the token…
“Forget it, I’ll just rely on my acting skills to get by.” Gu Wuji felt more and more that the character arranged by the system was just to trick him.
“Even if we don’t get the token, this villa is very dangerous.” Rong Qingman said: “Of course, I believe it will be no problem for you…but that Felicia…”
Gu Wuji: “…” Was it possible that he had been discovered as a spy so soon?
“I can only say that he is absolutely not worthy of you!” Rong Qingman’s words suddenly became fierce, “This guy is simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat!”
Gu Wuji: “……?” Was it that fierce? Was Felicia really that bad?
“And he is very likely to be the evil spirit in this copy. You must stay away from him.” After Rong Qingman advised Gu Wuji, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. After all, he was tired after a night of work.
Gu Wuji sat aside and took out the envelope from his arms. After unfolding it, he found a map of the building on it. It also marked what each room was used for. But just looking at the map, no matter how he looked at it, he could not see anything unusual.
“Sure enough, the door that Felicia mentioned only appears at night.”
Gu Wuji pondered and took note of the map roughly. When he turned it over, he saw a love poem on it.
It did not specify who the recipient was. But this love poem fully revealed the writer’s anxiety and burning love.
Gu Wuji: “…” This shouldn’t be the work of Master Felicia.
Gu Wuji put the envelope away and couldn’t bear to disturb Rong Qingman who was sleeping over there, so he left a note on the table, saying that he was going out for a walk. Of course, he also paid attention to his attitude and tried his best to maintain an indifferent personality.
He turned and walked out, but before he left, the ghost in his body suddenly emerged.
“What’s wrong?”
The ghost had a very ugly expression on his face, and looked at the cabinet next to the desk, “There’s something in there.”
“What?” Gu Wuji had already checked when he came in, and didn’t find anything hidden in the room. He pulled out the drawer of the cabinet as the ghost said, and it was indeed empty.
“Not here, but down there.” The ghost took a deep breath, as if remembering something extremely scary, but it didn’t know why it was scared.
“How did you know that?” Gu Wuji was a little surprised, but he had to bend down and look up from under the desk. He immediately saw the words written on the top of the drawer.
‘No, I have to leave, otherwise I will be caught by them…but where can I go?’
It could be imagined that the person probably wrote this while hiding under the desk in extreme fear.
When the ghost saw these words, its pupils shrank, as if this had awakened the body’s terrible memories, and it subconsciously shrank behind Gu Wuji.
Although this human was scary, he was also quite reliable. At least he could provide the ghost with a sense of security in such dangerous times…
“Who wrote this? Why were they in this room, and who were they? How much information is there in this copy…” Gu Wuji had nothing to be afraid of, but reached out and touched the text to see if he could find anything, but when he touched it, the content of the text suddenly changed.
“Is your memory real?”
Gu Wuji was stunned. For some reason, he felt for a moment that this sentence was as if it was asking himself.
“My memory?”
Gu Wuji had never thought about this kind of thing. He was just an ordinary person with a physique that was prone to encountering ghosts. His dream was to develop in the entertainment industry. If he had not encountered this game system, he would probably… still be living a life of encountering ghosts every day. For someone like him, there wouldn’t be any problem with his memory.
However…
Gu Wuji suddenly realized that he couldn’t seem to remember much about his childhood, and his mind felt blank when he thought about it. But this was normal, after all, children’s memory was never very clear.
This sentence soon disappeared, and the words under the desk disappeared completely.
“This should also be a hint of the copy. I may encounter some things that confuse my memory later.”
Gu Wuji thought about it and wondered how those words just now were connected to him.
“It’s better to go to the study room of this building and find out the truth of this copy as soon as possible, so that we can have enough bargaining chips to leave when we encounter the evil god.”
Gu Wuji thought so and walked out. The ghost followed him tremblingly. It was not known whether it was an illusion or not. Just now, it seemed to see a dark shadow emerging behind Gu Wuji. The shadow also revealed a terrible aura that made people extremely panic…
Forget it, this was also a very normal thing… After all, this human being was not a normal person at all.
