Seeing Gu Wuji’s subtle expression, Viper thought he had guessed right and immediately let out a hair-raising laugh.
“What do you want?” Gu Wuji was too lazy to explain anything to this person, thinking that if thought he was gay, he was gay, which was better than being exposed as a spy.
In order to protect his reputation as an actor, Gu Wuji decided to sacrifice his sexual orientation. Moreover, even if he was a straight man, he was also vaguely aware that there seemed to be many ghosts with wrong sexual orientations around him.
“It’s not a difficult thing. I’m definitely not like that Lao Tan who just wants to use newcomers as cannon fodder.” Viper sneered, “I just want you to sneak into Felicia’s room and get a key from it.”
“Key?” Gu Wuji frowned, “What are you going to do?” Because this matter seemed to be closely related to the main plot, Gu Wuji immediately forgot about what Viper mentioned about Lao Tan.
“You can’t know this.” The tone of Viper was coercive. “Now if you listen to me obediently, I can still let you go. Otherwise–“
Gu Wuji suddenly saw several ghosts slowly emerging from the other party’s body. The appearance of these ghosts was somewhat familiar, as if they were ghosts from the outside world before.
“You can’t imagine it.” Viper grinned, “I have the ability to summon ghosts and temporarily control them. If you don’t want to be bitten to death by ghosts, just listen to my orders honestly.”
This was also the most confident ability of Viper which let him be arrogant in so many copies. You must know that ordinary players didn’t even dare to contact ghosts, let alone drive ghosts. With such an ability, he would undoubtedly be feared by others.
Of course, in order to obtain this ability, he also paid a huge price, and even became half-human and half-ghost now, but as long as he could continue to become stronger, everything didn’t matter to Viper.
Gu Wuji: “…”
The ghosts behind Gu Wuji even showed a hint of sympathy: “…”
Seeing Gu Wuji’s indescribable look, the Viper immediately said: “Don’t think you can get away with it by pretending to be stupid, come on.”
The surrounding ghosts immediately aimed their eyes at Gu Wuji as he spoke, and their eyes were extremely cold, as if Gu Wuji was their prey. The Viper felt very satisfied. Such a horrifying scene, if someone else had a different mindset, they would have been scared to death. Gu Wuji must have been the same – but the pupils of these ghosts shrank the moment they saw Gu Wuji, and then they rushed to the outside world at a very fast speed. In just a few breaths, all the ghosts dispersed, and not even one was left.
The Viper: “…”
Gu Wuji: “…I forgot to say, these ghosts seem to be a little afraid of me for some reason.”
It was the Viper’s turn to show an indescribable expression. According to his casual observations during this period, Gu Wuji was clearly just an intermediate player with no other abilities except attracting gays… Could it be that all those were disguises, and Gu Wuji’s true strength had reached the level that even ghosts were afraid of?
Almost without hesitation, Viper turned and ran.
“Stop!” Gu Wuji directly cast a confinement spell and Viper was immediately unable to move.
Of course, this confinement magic should not be so strong, but because the other party was afraid at this time, it caused him to be unable to break free for a while and was directly caught by Gu Wuji.
“You haven’t told me what the key you want me to find is.” Gu Wuji stared at him coldly.
“Brother Sun, that, is, I asked the summoned ghosts to secretly follow the housekeeper and then found a secret room in this building.” Viper said hurriedly. In stark contrast to his terrifying appearance, this person had no moral integrity at all. Once he found that the other party was stronger than him, his attitude changed 180 degrees. Although it was shameless, this was one of the reasons why he could hold on until today. “But the key to the secret room is only in Felicia’s room. It seems that there is something extremely precious.”
“I see.” Gu Wuji was sure that there was no secret room on the map he had seen before. No matter what, he would remember this matter first.
“Can I leave now?” Viper looked at Gu Wuji with a wry smile, “As long as I am sure I am safe, I will tell you the address immediately.”
“You go.” Gu Wuji didn’t care. Since Viper had already told him the method, he would follow suit and find a ghost to follow the housekeeper.
After Viper left in a hurry, Gu Wuji immediately summoned another lonely ghost and gave it this order.
“Of course, I’m not violating my character by investigating Master Felicia.” Gu Wuji’s tone still had the feeling of swearing to protect the master to the death. Of course, this was all because of his extreme acting skills. “I just want to ensure the safety of the master and check all places in this building. After all, who knows whether the housekeeper is reliable or not, I must be the most reliable.”
The ghost behind Gu Wuji: “…” Every day I feel that it is more dangerous to follow Gu Wuji!
….
Night was coming.
Everyone was already very accustomed to holding oil lamps to choose the road they wanted to go. Since everyone came at different times, no one knew where others had gone.
Gu Wuji followed Rong Qingman, and the two walked in a passage that was somewhat unfamiliar to Gu Wuji.
This was the place that Rong Qingman said led to the master’s study and its secret room. He didn’t know if it was Gu Wuji’s illusion, but he always felt that everything gave people a feeling of something wrong.
Gu Wuji didn’t forget the task that Felicia gave him – to interrupt the ceremony in this space.
As for how to destroy it. Gu Wuji had some experience, as he had summoned the evil god himself… If the people present knew about this, they would probably be shocked.
At this moment, the two suddenly heard the cry of a child and the scolding of a man.
“It’s the humans in this space. In fact, we don’t need to care about them…” Rong Qingman frowned. He didn’t want to care about the NPCs at all. Just when he wanted to call Gu Wuji to go together, the other party walked towards the place where the sound came from.
Rong Qingman: “…” What else could he do?
The two passed the corner and immediately saw several people dressed like evil god fanatics standing there, and in the middle of them sat a little boy, looking pitiful and helpless.
This boy was of course little Felicia. He was sitting there trembling with a few pieces of paper in his hands. Some of the papers were blown to the ground and stepped on by people.
Gu Wuji and Rong Qingman could both clearly see that a family of three was drawn on the paper with simple strokes, smiling happily in front of a building. Although it was just a stick figure drawing, it gave people a sense of childishness.
Gu Wuji couldn’t help but sigh that it was really harmful! What a beautiful family of three they had, but now it had become like this.
The other picture showed a person wearing a hero costume with an indifferent expression. Gu Wuji guessed that it should be himself, and his heart was slightly touched.
“How long are we going to stay here? I also want to see the ceremony of Lord God.” A believer of the evil god couldn’t help but sigh.
“What are you thinking about? Our mission is to keep an eye on this child, so that he doesn’t rush to disturb the ceremony.” Another believer said coldly: “As long as the ceremony is completed, Lord God will definitely see our efforts.”
It seems that the owner of the house had reached the point of climax, and was worried that his son would cause trouble, so he asked the believers to watch the child. If the owner’s ritual succeeded, everyone here would die.
Once Gu Wuji heard that the ritual may have already begun, how could he wait any longer? He rushed over and said, “Let him go.”
Little Felicia’s eyes lit up when he saw Gu Wuji. He seemed to have been waiting for Gu Wuji to appear.
Gu Wuji felt that the other party would misunderstand him as a hero who came to save people… But there was nothing he could do about it, at least he was saving people every time.
Several believers showed astonishment, probably because they didn’t expect that there would be such passers-by who would cause trouble. Then they took off their clothes with solemn expressions.
Gu Wuji: “…” What are these people doing? Exhibitionism?
Then he found that these people had the evil god’s mark on their bodies, which looked like tattoos, and they were shining strongly at this time.
Gu Wuji: “…” Is this mark used as a light bulb?
Rong Qingman frowned and said, “Oh no, they are going to use the marks on their bodies to summon monsters. These monsters will only listen to the words of the person with the highest mark level. Although their marks are not as high as my marks, because there are so many people together, the situation may be a little troublesome-“
Before he finished speaking, the surroundings had completely darkened.
Several huge monsters with twisted limbs slowly crawled out of the darkness. They did not look like creatures that could exist in this world at all. Their blood-red eyes looked coldly at the people in this space.
Little Felicia seemed to be frightened by the scene. He shrank in place and hugged the painting in his hand tightly. But because of Gu Wuji’s presence, he was not too scared. Instead, he hid behind the chair and kept watching Gu Wuji secretly.
Several believers showed fanaticism and worshiped the monsters around them. At the same time, they looked at Gu Wuji with eyes like looking at a dead person, as if they were looking at a corpse.
Rong Qingman’s face changed immediately, “Don’t worry about this kid, let’s go! Those monsters have no entity, even you can’t deal with them, I have no way.”
Gu Wuji couldn’t even move, not only that, he suddenly covered his other hand, the oil lamp in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the candle went out.
Gu Wuji seemed to be unaware of it, his face was pale to the extreme, and his expression was also struggling, “Oops…”
“What’s wrong?” Rong Qingman immediately felt something was wrong and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Wuji away.
At this time, all the monsters had come together, and they were not too far away from the two of them. It seemed that they could entangle the two of them in a breath.
Rong Qingman was so anxious at this time, but Gu Wuji in front of him couldn’t pull it, but the next moment, he faintly saw a faint golden light coming out from the gap between Gu Wuji’s fingers holding his other hand.
Rong Qingman was dumbfounded. What the hell was this? Wasn’t this the light that burst out from the highest-level mark that he had only heard of in the legend of the previous copy?!
“This, this is…” Rong Qingman didn’t know what to say. His mind suddenly emerged with the incident of two evil ghost bosses fighting for Gu Wuji in the previous copy.
Gu Wuji was already in a bad state at this time. Just now, the back of his hand suddenly became extremely hot, so that even pressing it could not stop the light from continuing to burst out.
What was worse was that since coming to this copy, Gu Wuji had never felt so close to the evil god at any time. Even his body seemed to be suppressed by something, making it very difficult for him to move.
The monsters around him knelt down one after another under the stunned eyes of the believers. And in the farther and darker back, it seemed that there was a pair of invisible eyes there, looking at the scene in front of them.
No, it should be said that the eyes were only looking at Gu Wuji.
