Hearing Gu Wuji’s voice, the figure did not turn around, but spoke softly, “You finally came to this place. I thought that this day would come, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”
Gu Wuji immediately recognized that it was indeed Austin’s voice. It seemed that the other party had some restrictions in this copy and could not face him directly… He could not help but look down at the mark on the back of his hand that had disappeared, and he had a rough guess.
“Do you have anything you want to tell me?” Gu Wuji asked.
“What I want to tell you is…” Austin’s voice sounded, but before he could finish the crucial second half of the sentence, the water surface suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and the projection of the moon in the water was shattered. Not only that, even the moon in the sky slowly turned into crimson.
The scene instantly changed from beautiful to weird.
Gu Wuji had to hold on to the edge of the boat to avoid falling into the lake. He then heard Austin’s voice say with a bit of urgency, “When you find that door, no matter what you see, leave immediately! Never look back, and don’t care about other people–“
As soon as the words fell hurriedly, Gu Wuji suddenly woke up from his dream.
He sat up and found himself lying on the cold floor of the building. It was already getting light outside.
The ghost looked at Gu Wuji anxiously, “It’s not that I didn’t want to wake you up, it’s that you were sleeping too soundly.”
“It’s okay.” Gu Wuji sat up, feeling a little sore from lying on the ground for too long, “How did I get out of that weird place?”
“It was just at dawn, we left in the blink of an eye.” The ghost said hurriedly.
“It seems that outsiders like us cannot stay in the space at night forever.” Gu Wuji thought, “and every time we enter, the time inside seems to change…”
Wait, he suddenly realized something. In this way, they could enter a certain time period a hundred years ago every night. The setting of this copy was definitely not just to let them get some tokens.
After all, Gu Wuji was not one of those fanatical players who had lost their minds in fighting for places. He was still very clear-headed. “We must have been able to influence something in the past, or to detect something. Although it seems safe during the day, the so-called ceremony is about to be held. Since it is related to the evil god, terrible things will definitely happen.”
Compared to the evil god’s token, it was definitely more important to find the truth of the copy. Unfortunately, Gu Wuji felt that he was probably the only one in this copy who thought so.
….
At this time, Lao Tan was hiding behind the cabinet, observing the black and white world in front of him. The buildings here were exactly the same as those in the outside world, but everything was in black and white. The people coming and going looked normal, but in fact, who knew what kind of monsters they are.
After all, this world was obviously more abnormal than the previous weird world.
“Damn it, where on earth have I been dragged to?” Cold sweat trickled down Lao Tan’s forehead, but looking at the token in his hand, he felt full of confidence again.
With the token already in his hands, God would definitely not let him die in this place. And as long as he was not dead, he had a chance.
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed something, and his expression instantly changed from being at ease to being astonished. The token that he was tightly holding in his hand suddenly fell to the ground as if he had held something he could not avoid.
“How could it be? What is that?”
Lao Tan suddenly realized that this token was definitely not something that could allow them to leave this copy safely.
At this time, almost everyone in the hall had gathered. There were even fewer players today than yesterday. The danger of this dungeon was self-evident, but no one was afraid of it.
Rong Qingman sat on the sofa. He was not worried about Gu Wuji at all. How could anything happen to someone like Gu Wuji? He was not a child anymore, so of course he didn’t need to worry about him.
But the discussion among the people around him suddenly made him feel uneasy.
“Yesterday I saw Lao Tan and the player named Sun Shi walking into a corridor.”
“Player Sun Shi is so unlucky. He was almost killed by the owner of the house before, and he encountered this incident again last night. He is probably dead now.”
The players who noticed Gu Wuji and Lao Tan walking into the corridor together yesterday already felt pity for Gu Wuji.
After all, the player Lao Tan looked righteous and spoke in a coherent manner, which made people feel at ease. But in fact, he was a person with an extremely bad character. He often deliberately deceived some newcomers to be his cannon fodder. Although many newcomers were vigilant in their hearts, they were no match for such a cunning person. Coupled with the temptation of interests, they were basically wiped out in the end.
But no player would remind Gu Wuji for no reason. Wouldn’t that just be adding a troublesome enemy to himself for no reason?
Rong Qingman had no idea about this matter because of Lao Tan’s instructions to Gu Wuji. When he heard this, his face changed immediately.
He was very confident in Gu Wuji’s strength and ability to survive in the copy, but Rong Qingman also knew what kind of person Gu Wuji was. He was such a good person! Although Rong Qingman still liked this about Gu Wuji but if he was so kind to some bad guys, wouldn’t he be doomed to be cheated?
“Damn it.” Rong Qingman’s eyes immediately turned cold. After looking around, he did not see any trace of Gu Wuji and Lao Tan, and his face became even uglier.
One person suddenly discovered something and said in astonishment: “Look at the wall.”
There were already a large number of photos on the wall, some in black and white, which were taken of the building after it was renovated.
Originally, there were basically only some servants and some guests on it. It was a very ordinary photo, although it seemed that the guests who came here were not very normal.
But at this time, unknowingly, the figures of players they were very familiar with appeared in some photos, basically in very abrupt positions in the picture. Moreover, each of these players had a look of fear and horror on their faces, as if something extremely terrible had happened.
“What’s going on? What on earth did they encounter at night?”
“Logically, as long as they are not dead, they will come out to the outside world after dawn… or will the dead be pulled into a certain space forever?”
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little gloomy in their hearts. If they were just dead, it would be fine, but the players in the photo looked like they were still alive no matter how you looked at them, and their terrified expressions really made people worry. What on earth could shock these experienced quasi-senior players to such an extent?
Lao Tan also appeared in the photo, as well as the player who ran out to grab the token last night. He was exactly where he was in the photo that Gu Wuji had flipped through last time.
Rong Qingman breathed a sigh of relief after looking around and not seeing Gu Wuji.
At this time, Gu Wuji walked out of the corridor, looking very energetic, which made everyone feel alert.
After all, even Lao Tan was like that! But Gu Wuji was actually fine and looked so energetic. This was too scary.
The venomous snake looked at Gu Wuji meaningfully.
Gu Wuji didn’t notice at all that everyone was worried about. He looked at the photos on the wall and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Lao Tan, a kind-hearted man who stayed out of the mud of the cultists, actually died after he left. And he looked very miserable in the photo…
Gu Wuji took a deep look at the photo and swore in his heart, “Don’t worry, if I have the chance… I will find a way to purify all your souls!”
For some reason, everyone seemed to suddenly feel Lao Tan’s body in the photo tremble, and they felt even more that something was wrong, and their faces all looked unhappy.
Rong Qingman said to Gu Wuji that he would act with Gu Wuji tonight no matter what.
Of course Gu Wuji agreed, after all, there was nothing to refuse.
At this time, Felicia appeared again with his servants, and his sharp eyes swept over Gu Wuji and Rong Qingman who seemed to be a little intimate here. And when his eyes fell on Rong Qingman, there was an unspeakable disgust in his eyes.
Rong Qingman: “…” What’s wrong with this gay guy! He is just an NPC who is not even a ghost, but he shows off here every day as if he has already reached a high position.
Although he and Gu Wuji didn’t have that kind of relationship, no matter how you thought about it, they were much closer to each other than this passerby!
What’s more, even if he was an evil ghost, so what? Aren’t there many evil ghosts who like Gu Wuji?
Although Rong Qingman was really unhappy in his heart, he still distanced himself a little from Gu Wuji on the surface.
Gu Wuji was completely unaware of this undercurrent. After all, he was a straight man. He just felt that Felicia just glanced at him once or twice.
The group sat down immediately, waiting for today’s breakfast.
Gu Wuji felt that the smell of burning on their bodies was stronger today, and he couldn’t help but frown. What did this mean? If it continued like this… would they all die on the day of the ceremony?
Death was not a big deal, but what was more obvious was that these NPCs would obviously become more terrifying ghosts after that.
Not only him, but other players also noticed this, but as long as the other NPCs didn’t take action, everyone pretended not to notice it.
They all firmly believed that as long as they obtained the token and gained God’s approval, they would be able to escape unscathed and gain power far beyond that of ordinary people.
Yesterday’s lunch and dinner were both very normal and could be considered sumptuous, which made the players who had stayed up all night feel at ease. So everyone couldn’t help but look forward to this breakfast.
After opening the lid, what appeared before everyone’s eyes was actually food that was even a little more sumptuous than the previous breakfast. After heaving a sigh of relief, everyone, who had consumed a lot of physical energy, quickly started to eat. They were also waiting to go back and rest to replenish their physical strength, so as not to miss the token at night.
After all, the number of tokens was limited, and it was not uncommon for players to fight over them in this dungeon.
Gu Wuji’s food was usually better than others. He also found a piece of paper stuffed under his plate. He turned to look at Felicia, who nodded slightly to him with some affection in his eyes that anyone could see.
Of course, Gu Wuji didn’t get what he wanted to convey at all, or maybe he simply didn’t want to consider the idea of meeting a gay NPC again and wanted to escape from reality. In short, he was thinking deeply about serious matters.
It turned out that being a spy was not that easy. The mission had come now, and he didn’t know what Felicia wanted him to do. Gu Wuji was actually somewhat looking forward to it. After all, he felt that the experience he had been experiencing during this period was not enough to hone his acting skills, and he really hoped for some more exciting challenges.
If the system had consciousness and knew that Gu Wuji had such thoughts, it would probably fall silent.
Gu Wuji immediately put the note away calmly and prepared to have breakfast, but then he suddenly noticed that Felicia was wearing the same ring on his finger as the one he got from little Felicia.
Of course, they were still slightly different, but the style was similar, and the details in all aspects were also very similar… and no matter how he put it, it gave people the feeling of a couple’s ring.
Gu Wuji: “…”
