Gu Wuji walked towards the hall. Everything around him felt brand new. Even the fog outside the window was slowly dissipating, revealing the long-lost sunshine.
Everything seemed to be over at this moment.
The others in the hall were already waiting, but Viper was not among them. Gu Wuji estimated that he must have already died in that other space.
Seeing Gu Wuji coming, Rong Qingman hurried forward and looked him up and down several times before he breathed a sigh of relief. “You didn’t show up just now. I was really worried to death.”
“I’m fine.” Gu Wuji nodded at him.
Rong Qingman told him what happened just now. It turned out that he was dealing with those monsters in the outside world, and suddenly he felt that the whole space was showing signs of collapse, and he was thrown out in the blink of an eye, so that he didn’t have time to find the token in the room.
Most of the other players were in the same situation. Everyone was still at a loss and had no idea what the situation was now.
“Everyone, I’ve been waiting for a long time.” The next moment, Felicia’s figure suddenly appeared, and his expression looked much more friendly than usual, as if something good had happened. “Come and enjoy today’s breakfast. Tonight will be the time for the ceremony to be completed.”
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, but they did not show it on the surface. They sat down in their seats familiarly.
It could be seen that the long table that was originally full of seats had become quite empty at this time, and many places were empty. It had only taken a few days for this strange space to swallow so many people.
Then the servants brought the food up and presented it to everyone. The plates used for today’s food were larger than usual, as if celebrating something.
Everyone felt an unusual and strange breath, but after they opened the lid, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions became relaxed and happy, as if they had released some pressure because of the food.
“I didn’t expect today’s food to be so rich.”
“It’s no regret to be able to eat such good things on the last day.”
Even Rong Qingman, who had always been picky, relaxed his expression when he saw the food in front of him, as if he was very satisfied.
Gu Wuji had an ordinary hearty breakfast in front of him, but when he turned around and looked at other foods, he was stunned for a moment.
These people looked bloody pieces of meat on their plates with satisfaction, even though blood was still flowing out from the meat. It looked even more terrible than the first time, but these people were enjoying it and didn’t notice anything unusual.
Rong Qingman beside him slowly cut open an eyeball and was about to put it into his mouth.
Gu Wuji subconsciously felt that there must be something wrong with these foods, which would definitely affect the players, but these people seemed to be unable to distinguish the nature of what they were eating.
“What should I do? This is going to be troublesome.” Gu Wuji suddenly became anxious and looked at Felicia with his peripheral vision but found that he was just smiling and staring at him.
Gu Wuji: “…”
If he stood up now and told everyone else not to eat, it would definitely arouse Felicia’s suspicion, he would discover his true identity, and he would probably die on the spot.
But if other people ate it, Gu Wuji guessed that they might not be well either. As a citizen with good virtues, how could he sit back and watch this situation!
Now there was only one way.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath, faced the gaze of everyone, suddenly covered his mouth, and coughed violently-of course, this was all acting.
Because Gu Wuji’s acting skills were so superb, he perfectly showed the situation that he was almost vomiting blood after eating poison. Everyone was stunned when they saw this earth-shaking situation, and they dared not put the things in their hands into their mouths.
Rong Qingman’s face changed, and he stretched out his hand to support Gu Wuji, but before that, he was suddenly pushed away by Felicia.
“You–” Rong Qingman wanted to step forward but was blocked by several servants. These servants all exuded an aura that was not easy to provoke, and he could not help but hold back for the time being.
“What’s the matter? Is it because of eating the wrong thing?” Felicia nervously pressed Gu Wuji’s shoulders, and then actually picked him up horizontally and hurriedly walked inside.
This gay scene blinded the eyes of other players, and they were all stunned.
These players had never paid attention to whether Felicia and Gu Wuji had anything going on before. After all, although there were those rumors in the past, it was all in the past… The result?!
“This is too cruel! No wonder he went in with Lao Tan before and still came out alive. How can Lao Tan compare with this cheat.”
“No, I saw with my own eyes yesterday when many monsters and NPCs were driven by him. This is definitely because of his own power…”
Everyone couldn’t help but have an idea, were they really in the same dungeon as Gu Wuji? At the same time, they began to feel lucky that they didn’t want to do anything to Gu Wuji like Lao Tan.
As for the food on the table, no one dared to eat it. After all, Gu Wuji looked so miserable.
Gu Wuji almost vomited blood. If he was really taken back by Felicia, wouldn’t he be exposed immediately?
At this critical moment, Gu Wuji suddenly pushed Felicia’s body away, staggered to the ground, gasping for breath, pale, and seemingly in great pain.
Felicia looked at Gu Wuji in astonishment, his eyes slowly turning cold, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you push me away?”
At this time, no one noticed that the servants around seemed to have signs of mutation as they slowly walked towards Gu Wuji.
Gu Wuji shook his head hard at Felicia, then hurried to the window, and everyone heard the sound of vomiting from there.
Did he push him away because he wanted to vomit? Everyone immediately understood the situation. Rong Qingman turned his head to look at the table, but he keenly discovered something, and his eyes looking at Gu Wuji immediately became more complicated.
Felicia’s originally cold eyes finally eased, and the servants around him also returned to their original state. He hurried to the window, took the wet wipes and wiped Gu Wuji’s mouth, and asked with concern, “Do you feel okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Gu Wuji found that Felicia seemed to be indifferent to everything after last night, and he didn’t even try to cover it up. He now openly spread the gay atmosphere. This was probably a bad omen.
“I’m fine.” Gu Wuji immediately said with an apologetic look in his eyes, maintaining his own persona, and said, “I think it’s just because I haven’t had a good schedule recently, so my stomach is uncomfortable. Don’t worry.”
Felicia was relieved and told Gu Wuji again, “Next time if you feel uncomfortable, tell me earlier, I will find someone to see you right away.”
Gu Wuji nodded immediately, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was finally successfully fooled. Although his forced vomiting made his stomach and throat a little uncomfortable, considering that these symptoms would disappear when he returned to the real world, it was nothing.
Others also found various excuses to express that they did not want to eat breakfast. They did not believe that Gu Wuji really vomited because of a bad sleep schedule. They were all mid-level players, not ordinary people.
Moreover, they also felt that they were a little strange just now. Why did they eat these foods without any precautions? They could leave the dungeon today, so it was better not to eat.
Felicia did not force them, but gathered everyone to start talking about the topic, saying: “You came here and have been waiting for this moment. All preparations for the ceremony have been completed. Just waiting for tonight, your wish will come true.”
Everyone had different thoughts, but on the surface they all nodded.
Rong Qingman’s face was very ugly. He had not received a token until now, and the dungeon was about to end. Could it be that he and Gu Wuji would become cannon fodder in this dungeon?
No. Rong Qingman’s eyes swept to other people. If there was a possibility, maybe he could snatch some tokens from others…
After saying this, Felicia said: “But to participate in the ceremony, there are still things to pay attention to.” Then he gestured to the butler beside him.
The housekeeper immediately said: “When you enter the ceremony site, you must not make loud noises, nor bring anything else that will affect the success of the ceremony. You must always maintain your piety to God in your heart. I believe you can all do this.”
Everyone nodded immediately.
“Now everyone go back to your room to rest. It is best not to come out of the room before the servants lead the way. We will arrange for someone to deliver lunch.” The housekeeper said again.
This time everyone responded, but it was obvious that no one present listened to the housekeeper’s words. They realized that it was impossible to get more tokens. In order to gain the trust of the gods and get the strongest power, these people would do anything.
Over there, Felicia slowly walked in front of Gu Wuji.
Everyone held their breath immediately, and those who were about to leave also stopped. After all, who didn’t want to see dog-blood gossip!
“Take a good rest in the room.” Felicia said, lowered his head and kissed Gu Wuji on the forehead, and then turned and left.
Gu Wuji: “…” Forget it, it’s just a kiss on the forehead, this kind of thing is nothing.
He turned his head again and saw a bunch of players looking at him in astonishment. Gu Wuji said, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing.” The others felt embarrassed as if they were caught peeping, and they all pretended nothing had happened and left.
Rong Qingman looked at Felicia’s back viciously, wishing he could go back and wash Gu Wuji’s hair. He was so shameless to take advantage of Gu Wuji.
After the show, everyone pretended to go back to their rooms to rest. In fact, no one knew what they were thinking. Of course, no one rushed to provoke Gu Wuji. This was obviously someone with a relationship with the NPC! Going to trouble others with such a troublesome identity was no different from seeking death!
Gu Wuji was thinking about his identity and mission in this dungeon. His identity was a spy who mixed in with the players, and his mission was to fulfill the owner’s wish. How should he do this?
“And I don’t even know what that wish is, wait…” He suddenly seemed to remember something.
As soon as they returned to the room, Rong Qingman grabbed Gu Wuji and said anxiously, “We must take two tokens from others, otherwise we will be the ones with the least tokens at tonight’s ceremony, and we may die here.”
“No.” Gu Wuji looked at Rong Qingman, “Calm down, this kind of thing is not the most important thing now.”
“What?” If it were someone else, Rong Qingman would have cursed, but the other party was Gu Wuji, he had infinite patience for him, and Gu Wuji could say anything.
“I think that among all the players now, no one has a token in their hands.” Gu Wuji said thoughtfully.
“How could it be…” Rong Qingman was shocked for a moment, “This, this is different from what I know.”
“So far, no one has shown their token. Even if they are trying to hide, it is impossible for them to leave no clues. And when the ceremony was mentioned just now, everyone’s expression was not good.” Gu Wuji said his guess, “I encountered a token when I was with Lao Tan and the others. In the end, I came out, but he disappeared… I suspect that getting the token means death instead.”
Rong Qingman’s face changed, and he also remembered this matter.
“What’s more, this instance has been going too smoothly so far. Although many people have disappeared, according to the rules of the instance, it seems that as long as you stay where you are passively, you can survive safely to the end. This is completely different from what the system has always done.” He continued.
“That’s right.” Rong Qingman calmed down a little. Although Gu Wuji’s words went against his cognition, compared to Gu Wuji, those rumors from outside were nothing. He was just such a staunch fan.
“Besides, I don’t have no other evidence.” Gu Wuji looked at the ghost that slowly emerged from his body, “I have a witness here. His identity is a player who once died in this world.”
Rong Qingman remembered this ghost, but he didn’t expect this. He was stunned immediately, “What is this?”
Gu Wuji looked at the ghost beside him and said, “Tell me everything you know.”
