As soon as he finished speaking, Viper turned around and was ready to run away.
But a huge monster had appeared on the road behind him, completely blocking his way, and Viper gasped in fear.
When had he ever been so embarrassed before? Now he was in danger of his life… Viper was filled with regret and fear, thinking that he had really lost his mind. What kind of scary guy was Gu Wuji? He was not a human at all!
Gu Wuji looked at him and seemed to be about to say something, but in Viper’s eyes at this time, Gu Wuji was even scarier than a ghost. He stepped back several steps and hit the wall and suddenly felt a door handle behind him.
In this copy, entering any door at night was a very dangerous behavior. No one knew where these doors would lead to.
But Viper could no longer care. He quickly pressed the door handle and rushed directly into the unknown world behind the door.
After the door closed, it disappeared, leaving only an empty wall.
Gu Wuji: “…” He originally wanted to catch Viper to ask about the situation, but he didn’t expect the other party to run away in such a hurry.
“Forget it, let’s keep going.”
To Gu Wuji, this was just a small episode on the road.
The group continued to move forward. Along the way, there were twos and threes of other players who noticed this scene and were stunned. They did not dare to approach Gu Wuji, but they all followed quietly behind him, feeling that they would see something extremely important in this copy.
Perhaps because of the existence of those monsters, even the ghosts were all avoided, allowing the surrounding players to walk very smoothly, and they no longer had to hide from ghosts like before, which made other players feel touched.
However, the power of these phantom-like monsters seemed difficult to maintain for too long and soon dissipated into the air. Gu Wuji secretly noted the time, so that if he met him next time, at least he would know how long he had to hide before he could come out.
And Rong Qingman also found out more about this copy.
Everything that happened to the owner of the house was indeed similar to the diary that Gu Wuji had seen before. The owner himself survived a shipwreck, but because of this he became a fanatical believer of the evil god and met many people who had similar experiences as himself. He also tried his best to obtain various information about summoning the evil god from various channels.
And his purpose was to summon the god here so that his wish could be realized. In short, this place had become extremely strange in this process.
This lake was not an ordinary lake. It was said that many strange things had happened around it, and there were rumors that many people had died, causing the surrounding residents to move away. And the owner lived here after the shipwreck.
The lake was very deep, and there were many undercurrents in the water. The strange thing was that it was very convenient to come here. But if you want to leave, you need a special boatman to row the boat, otherwise ordinary people will only fall into a situation like a ghost wall. Of course, they noticed the specialness of this boatman and asked who he was, but the believers all shook their heads. They never paid attention to it. They only knew that when they had something to leave, the boatman always stood at the bow.
“I only know that only people with devout faith can leave, otherwise they will be swallowed by the lake and become ghosts in the lake.”
Both of them had complicated expressions, feeling that it would be another hard battle to leave the island in the future.
And today was the time for the owner to complete this ceremony completely.
As for the matter of ***, these believers had never mentioned it at all, and it seemed that they had no such plan, because they were now extremely respectful to Gu Wuji, and it was impossible to hide such a thing from Gu Wuji.
As for the sacrifice part, it was said that the believers were voluntarily offering sacrifices, and they believed that the gods would resurrect them. As for those insignificant chefs and servants, they couldn’t even think about getting involved, they didn’t have such qualifications at all.
“Just summoning the gods? No ***? Or is he hiding it from others.” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but frown. Judging from the situation he felt now, he always felt that there seemed to be some key points that they didn’t notice.
The ghost that was caught by Gu Wuji before and couldn’t move too far away from him could not come close to the oil lamp, but as time went by, it seemed to have begun to change, so now it could still possess Gu Wuji as if nothing happened.
“There must be something wrong.” The ghost couldn’t help but frown and say, “There must be something wrong.”
This ghost had been possessed by Gu Wuji. It had seen everything that Gu Wuji had seen. It could be said that it knew the current situation better than Rong Qingman.
Gu Wuji was a little surprised. This was a rare time for the ghost to give opinions on other things in the copy. “What’s wrong? Do you know anything?”
“I don’t remember it very well…” The ghost only felt a dull pain in his mind, as if something was about to emerge, but when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing. In the end, he could only say dryly, “Anyway, there must be something wrong with this ceremony. Maybe I was the ghost that these believers turned into after their death?”
“That’s also possible. Thank you for your reminder.” Gu Wuji nodded.
Other believers flattered Gu Wuji, “Sir, you came at the right time this time. The ceremony will be successful soon.”
“No, you have all been deceived.” Gu Wuji began to show his acting skills again, looking coldly at the others, and immediately frightening them, “What he wants to do is not to summon the gods at all, but to use this ceremony to monopolize the power. I received the order from the gods and rushed here to stop his behavior.”
Under normal circumstances, the people around should not believe Gu Wuji, but after seeing the various deeds of Gu Wuji just now, they had long believed in Gu Wuji. Besides, these believers and the owner of the house had no friendship, and it was definitely Gu Wuji who was more convincing.
“Damn it, I didn’t expect him to do such a thing!”
“He usually behaves more piously than anyone else, but he is so shameless in secret.”
The believers began to be filled with righteous indignation, and after hearing Gu Wuji’s words, they wanted to rush to interrupt the ongoing ceremony immediately.
In this way, several people arrived at the door of the study, but such an important place for the ceremony would naturally not be left unattended.
There were several people standing at the door. Rather than being called people, they should be said to be monsters that barely maintained their human form. They didn’t even distinguish between friends and enemies. When they saw someone approaching, they attacked directly, making the believers anxious.
They didn’t know how the owner of this house created such monsters. They were all extremely powerful and seemed to be immortal. They would soon be resurrected after being knocked down.
The believers didn’t seem to expect this. From their mouths, they said that although these monsters were very powerful, they didn’t have the ability to come back to life like this. Now it seemed that they had suddenly mutated.
Gu Wuji felt that some kind of power coming from the inside affected these monsters, and that was obviously the ceremony being held. If the problem of the ceremony was not solved, these monsters would not be able to be knocked down.
“No, I must interrupt the ceremony as soon as possible.” Gu Wuji had no choice but to let these believers entangle the monsters, and he and Rong Qingman rushed into the study.
Rather than calling it a study, Gu Wuji thought it was more like a large library. Once inside, the space was huge, with countless scattered books piled up, and a suffocating silence.
The bad thing was that all the other believers were outside blocking the monsters, and no one could lead the way.
The two checked around the study room and finally followed the faint sound and walked towards a hidden corner in the study room. After moving a few books on the top, a gap was immediately revealed that allowed them to see inside.
The two immediately saw that there was a blood-colored magic circle inside, which was similar to the magic circle drawn in the materials that Gu Wuji had read.
The rest of the believers had fallen to the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive, and standing in the middle was the man in the portrait he had seen before. He had an extremely fanatical expression on his face, and he was mumbling something in his mouth. The light of the magic circle on the ground became stronger and stronger.
The magic circle gave Gu Wuji an extremely strong sense of uneasiness, just like the feeling of being stared at by an evil god.
This summoning circle could definitely summon a part of the evil god… no, even more parts. It would be far more powerful than the evil god that he summoned and who possessed Austin during the ghost cruise.
The whole space was filled with an ominous feeling. Gu Wuji couldn’t help thinking that they should be considered to have returned to the past, so in the past, the ritual should have remained incomplete due to some accidents, which led to the subsequent results.
Even though he knew that interrupting the ritual would be terrible, Gu Wuji had no choice. After all, if the ritual succeeded now, their ending would only be more miserable.
Rong Qingman said, “If the ritual was only in the early stage, the person who performed the ritual could be killed directly. But now it has to be completed, even if he dies, the ritual will continue. If there is a believer who can ask…”
Gu Wuji frowned, “It doesn’t look easy to solve.”
“Should we go out to find those believers now?” Rong Qingman said, “But this will expose the fact that we don’t know how to interrupt the ritual at all. We might be attacked by them together.”
The ghost on Gu Wuji suddenly appeared, “Maybe I can take a look. Didn’t you take some information from that hall before? I suddenly remembered something.”
The ghost was talking about what Gu Wuji found in the hall on the way when he sent little Felicia, who he thought was a little girl, back to the room.
The things written on those materials were incomprehensible, but Gu Wuji felt that they would be useful, so he put them away. He didn’t expect that they would be useful here.
Rong Qingman was shocked, but it was thanks to his good psychological quality that he didn’t do it directly. He thought to himself that he was worthy of being Gu Wuji. It felt a bit unnatural without a few ghosts around him…
“I’ll talk to you later.” Gu Wuji didn’t have time to explain to Rong Qingman. He took out those pieces of information and showed them to the ghost one by one.
After the ghost hurriedly read all the information, his expression seemed a little shocked. He took a breath and said to Gu Wuji: “I think I may have a solution, but this method is really troublesome…”
“That’s good. It doesn’t matter if it’s troublesome. As long as you have a way.” Gu Wuji looked at the ghost and spoke more quickly. “It’s just that you have to work a little harder.”
Because of the tight time, Gu Wuji could no longer care about many things. He used the ghost control technique on the ghost and directly checked the other party’s memory.
This was definitely the most convenient method. After all, the process of retelling may cause some misunderstandings due to understanding problems. But there would be no problem if you watch the memory directly.
Of course, it was a bit disrespectful of other people’s privacy, so Gu Wuji would not use it casually on others under normal circumstances, otherwise it was no different from being a pervert.
The moment Gu Wuji used the ghost control technique, his eyes went dark, and then the memory of the ghost appeared clearly in front of him. The moment he saw this memory, he was stunned.
“What is this?”
He saw himself in this memory.
No, to be precise, it was himself who made him feel unfamiliar.
