That was obviously the scene in this building, and it was unknown when, it had become pitch black all around.
Several people were walking in the dark corridor with oil lamps. Gu Wuji used the first-person perspective, following behind them, and could still feel his rapid breathing and heartbeat.
Gu Wuji was a little surprised. In this case, could this ghost… have been a player? Such a thing was not impossible, after all, no one knew where the people who died in the dungeon went.
No wonder when the ghost followed him back to the room, he reacted very strongly, and even noticed the words left under the table. Maybe that was what the ghost left before he died.
But what was the text that reminded him of his memory?
Thinking of the countless ghosts outside the building, Gu Wuji suddenly realized the danger of this dungeon. Even so many players died here.
“What should we do? If we continue like this, we will all die here!” The person in front of Gu Wuji said in panic, “This copy of the evil god is simply unsolvable. The others have become fanatics of the evil god. They can do anything!”
“Don’t worry.” A voice sounded from the front. His words were very calm, and people naturally felt relieved when they heard it. “The problem can definitely be solved.”
After hearing that voice, the others calmed down. But Gu Wuji’s heart was beating wildly.
The next moment, the leader turned his head. Whether it was his figure or his appearance, he stood out from the crowd. Such a person’s light glance made Gu Wuji feel that the owner of the perspective felt a little flattered.
But Gu Wuji’s feelings were very complicated.
After all, the leader was himself no matter how he looked at it! And it was not the face he disguised as “Sun Shi”, but Gu Wuji’s real appearance in the real world.
“What’s going on? That person is me? But how did I end up here?” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but fall into confusion. “According to common sense, this is simply impossible. Or is this some kind of illusion in the dungeon? Or is it a face-to-face…”
But Gu Wuji felt a shocking sense of familiarity when he looked at the other person’s every move. He could clearly realize that it was definitely not someone else, but himself.
“Even if this dungeon is originally chaotic in time and space, I can’t be with the players who have been here before.” Gu Wuji frowned, “Could it be that something happened in the future that brought me to this dungeon again? Or… in the past…”
He really couldn’t forget the words he saw under the table.
– Is your memory real?
“Of course my memory is real.” Gu Wuji said this almost subconsciously, but he felt more and more that something was wrong in his heart. Was there something he had forgotten…
The sudden sound interrupted Gu Wuji’s thoughts.
“Don’t worry too much. We just need to interrupt the summoning ceremony in this place.” That ‘Gu Wuji’ said, “It’s very simple. We just need to drive a large number of ghosts into that space, and their resentment will affect the progress of the ceremony… After all, the ceremony of summoning evil gods is very demanding unless it is summoned by a specific person. Any slight fluctuation will affect the success of the ceremony.”
“I see.” The others immediately had hope. They obviously trusted ‘Gu Wuji’ very much.
And Gu Wuji also understood immediately and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he never thought that he would hear the solution from ‘himself’.
“This copy is too weird, but I’ll put my business aside. The most important thing now is to interrupt the ceremony first.” Gu Wuji was about to force himself out of his memory, but he noticed a figure that suddenly appeared not far ahead, and his expression became complicated again, “Who is that?”
….
Gu Wuji suddenly woke up from his memory and immediately broke into a cold sweat. Rong Qingman beside him hurriedly supported him.
Although he watched a long memory, in reality, it only took a few breaths of time.
The ghost was still looking at Gu Wuji in confusion. He vaguely felt that his memory had just been browsed by someone. What kind of ability was this?
“We’ll talk about the rest later.” Gu Wuji stood up and let the ghost possess him again. He looked at the owner of the house and the magic circle, which seemed to contain some emotions. “Now, what I have to do is to stop the ceremony. I already know how to do it.”
Rong Qingman nodded. When the two were about to enter the secret room together, the door of the study outside had already made a sound of being overwhelmed. It seemed that the believers outside could not withstand the attacks of those monsters.
“I’ll stay here.” Rong Qingman made a prompt decision, “You go in first.”
Gu Wuji did not hesitate, nodded to Rong Qingman, suddenly pushed open the bookcase in front of him, and rushed into the secret room.
“Who are you?” The owner turned around and looked at Gu Wuji with a very cold look in his eyes. “No matter who you are, if you want to stop the ceremony, don’t think you can leave alive!”
“I don’t mean to hurt you.” Gu Wuji’s eyes were very firm, “But I can’t let this ceremony go on.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he used the ghost control technique to pull all the ghosts that could be summoned from the surroundings into this space.
Perhaps because they were in the world where the evil god was, here even the summoning ability of Viper was enhanced, not to mention Gu Wuji. In just an instant, this space was almost filled with ghosts.
“Damn it, don’t think you can succeed.” The owner’s face was pale, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. He could clearly feel that the magic circle of this ritual was already in danger of collapse, and all this was caused by the sudden intruder in front of him.
He gritted his teeth, and a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth. After his blood flowed into the magic circle on the ground, the bodies of several believers who were sacrificed around him actually shattered directly and turned into several hideous ghosts, which attacked Gu Wuji directly.
“Even if I die here, I must complete this ritual!”
Faced with such a terrible scene, Gu Wuji just frowned slightly. His ghost-controlling skills and the props on his body gave him enough confidence to deal with these terrible ghosts. The only trouble was that the situation was a little urgent, but it was worth it as a process of destroying the ritual, not to mention…
Watching Gu Wuji fighting with several ghosts over there, the owner of the house breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked up with a sneer, his expression suddenly froze. He suddenly saw the ghost of his wife slowly emerging from behind Gu Wuji.
“You, why are you here?” The owner’s face showed some fear. The ghost of his wife who he killed himself was undoubtedly the biggest shadow in his heart.
This was also one of Gu Wuji’s reliances. Since he had already summoned the surrounding ghosts, how could he not summon the owner’s wife as well?
In this situation, because the yin energy in the house was getting stronger and stronger, the magic circle was finally overwhelmed and the light suddenly dimmed.
The ritual was not successful, but it was not the end. The bodies of the believers seemed to have been backfired and immediately burned fiercely.
The flame was not too hot, but rather cold, however it burned very quickly, and in an instant, it had already burned out most of the secret room. The owner struggled to escape but was entangled by the ghost of his wife and could not move, so he could only be trapped in the sea of fire.
As their bodies began to burn, the attack power of the believer’s ghosts also dropped sharply, becoming very weak, and was easily bound by Gu Wuji.
“So that’s it, the reason why this place was burned down was because of the failure of the ritual, not the owner’s…” Gu Wuji thought, “It seems that the ritual was not successful in the first place, and the failed ritual made this place a weird place. We went back to the past and did not change everything, but facilitated everything…”
“Or maybe something happened that caused the ritual to fail. We just slightly changed the process, but the result did not change.”
As for the owner over there, he no longer struggled and was obviously completely dead in the flames.
And his soul was taken away by the ghost of his wife and imprisoned in the portrait forever.
Gu Wuji looked deeply at the burning secret room, as if he wanted to remember something. Seeing that the flames were about to burn towards him, he turned around and walked towards the outside world.
After Gu Wuji left the secret room, he immediately saw a silent outside world.
The study room had become extremely messy, and it was obvious that someone had experienced a fierce fight here. But at this time, apart from the traces of the fight, nothing else existed, not even a single person.
“What is going on? Rong Qingman, who is so powerful, shouldn’t have gotten into trouble here. Is it because of the ritual that caused the outside world to change? After all, it feels like everything has been completed, and this space may no longer exist…”
Before Gu Wuji could think about where Rong Qingman and others went after the ritual was resolved, a little boy hurried in from outside. It was little Felicia.
Little Felicia was panting, his face full of worry. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Wuji and rushed over quickly, “Big brother, are you okay?”
Gu Wuji reached out and touched the top of his head, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the secret room behind him from his sight. He felt that it was too cruel to let the other party see the body of his own father and then said coldly: “Of course I’m fine.”
The expression on little Felicia’s face eased a lot. He held Gu Wuji’s hand and looked at him expectantly, “Thank you for coming to save me every time! You won’t leave again this time, right?”
It seemed that in his opinion, Gu Wuji, who had only appeared a few times, was already more reliable and gentler than his biological father.
Gu Wuji shook his head, his tone emotionless, “I said I didn’t come here to save you… We can’t stay here any longer.”
“What?” Little Felicia noticed the flames burning behind him and asked in surprise, “What’s going on? Why is there a fire? Where’s Dad? Where are the others?”
“Let’s go, they won’t show up again.” Gu Wuji didn’t mean to explain, maintaining his cold personality, “All you have to do now is leave here, leave this place forever, and never come back.”
Little Felicia looked at Gu Wuji blankly, not knowing what to say, and it was very difficult for him to keep up with Gu Wuji’s pace.
He pulled little Felicia and hurriedly walked towards the door of the study. The moment he passed through the door, Gu Wuji once again experienced the feeling of passing through another world. His body lightened, and when his vision became clear again, he had returned to the building under normal circumstances.
The sky outside was already faintly bright, and the light from the outside penetrated into the room. Although it was still very dim, it could be felt that the gloomy atmosphere had disappeared for the most part, and the smell of decay and burning in the building was no longer there.
Gu Wuji looked out the window and felt relieved. “It looks like everything is over.”
[Tonight is the time for the ceremony. Players, please be prepared.] The system’s voice suddenly sounded at this time.
Gu Wuji slowly walked towards the hall and spoke softly.
“No. Everything is just beginning now.”
