The ghost looked at Gu Wuji in surprise, then remembered that Gu Wuji seemed to have done something to it last night and learned its memory, so it was not strange to know these.
It took a deep breath and said while looking into the two people’s eyes: “Yes, I was indeed a player. I just remembered this not long ago, but it is not a complete memory.”
In the ghost’s mouth, he was just an ordinary player. He came to this dungeon by chance. He was lucky enough to meet some reliable teammates and survived in the dungeon for several days.
“I met a very powerful person in the dungeon. He was not only handsome, but also powerful. The most important thing is that his personality is also very good. It is rare to meet such a kind person.” The ghost sighed and said.
Rong Qingman felt that the person the ghost was talking about was a little familiar.
Gu Wuji felt embarrassed to be praised by him for a while.
Although the ghost could never have expected that Gu Wuji, who had always been regarded as a devil by his side, was actually the person in his memory…
“I can’t remember some of the details. I only remember that when the ceremony was held later, something strange happened, and everyone else died at the ceremony! Only I and another player escaped because we were protected by that person.”
The ghost’s face became extremely painful, as if recalling the fear at the time, “But the whole building had changed, and countless ghosts had emerged. Only this place where he put a defensive talisman is barely safe… But in the end I still couldn’t resist those ghosts, and I died here.”
“I see.” Rong Qingman frowned and said, “I just felt something was weird, that’s it. It seems that everything in this copy is a trap, and they are all set up for us to step into it.”
Gu Wuji was very pleased that Rong Qingman actually saw it himself, and immediately said: “Then what we have to do now is to interrupt this final ceremony?”
“But in that case, wouldn’t the main task have failed?” Rong Qingman said.
After all, the main quests all require the ritual to succeed. If this ritual is interrupted, is there another ritual that can succeed… Wait?
Gu Wuji suddenly thought of something, “No, are there indeed other rituals in this copy, is it possible?” He immediately looked at the ghost beside him, “What did you see on the paper yesterday?”
“I can only understand part of it.” The ghost shook his head, “But if it was him, he would be able to understand all these words.”
Gu Wuji frowned. The ‘he’ was obviously himself, so he should be able to understand it. Gu Wuji unfolded the few pieces of paper from yesterday and suddenly found that he could understand the words on them, and he was relieved.
He didn’t know whether it was because of the ghost’s memory or because he interrupted the ritual, which led to this result.
In addition to recording notes about the ritual, these pages of paper also contained some content like a diary, which was written very hastily and not very coherently.
‘Because of Felicia’s matter, the lady and I had another quarrel. She didn’t want to accept that she had given birth to such a child. But what does she know! This is a manifestation of miracles.’
Gu Wuji was stunned. What does that mean? So this is the reason for the couple’s quarrel?
‘Felicia’s abilities are becoming more and more amazing. They have affected the entire island and the surrounding areas. Ordinary people are in panic. We are sure that he is part of the gods. If this continues, it will not be a problem to directly summon the gods…’
“I see.” Gu Wuji immediately understood a lot of things. “That child, is he also part of the evil god… No wonder there are so many strange things around him, and he lives well in this place that should be very scary.”
Moreover, no wonder he saw the little Felicia hiding behind the corridor in the ghost’s memory, with a cold face and gloomy expression.
At that time, Gu Wuji had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and it was not natural for little Felicia to appear so quickly after he interrupted the ceremony.
‘He wants to stop our ceremony. Although I don’t know why, he is unwilling to let the ceremony continue. I had to let the believers temporarily lock up Felicia. Anyway, the ceremony is about to succeed.’
Gu Wuji suddenly felt a chill in his body when he saw this.
There was nothing wrong with the ritual part of the notes. The effect was just to summon the evil god. But why, as part of the evil god, did little Felicia want to stop the summoning ritual? And… in the end, it was because of Gu Wuji that the ritual was interrupted.
Gu Wuji no longer knew what role he played in this plot. From his memory, he was just a good person all the time!
“No wonder the ‘Go Home’ side quest has never been completed.” Gu Wuji sighed and sat on a chair beside him. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, “It’s not that simple to send him home.”
“Anyway, tonight we will enter the ritual site as planned, and then find a way to stop the ritual.”
Gu Wuji looked at the ghost beside him, and he already had a plan in mind.
….
It was night soon. Although these players tried to snatch the tokens from others during the day, everything ended in vain.
Everyone walked into a closed hall on the first floor with annoyance on their faces. As soon as they entered, they felt a chill. The air gave them goose bumps when it touched their skin.
This hall was empty and there was nothing but a complex magic circle drawn on the ground. The ground around it seemed to be splattered with blood, which looked eerie and scary.
Gu Wuji looked at the magic circle. It was completely different from what the owner had recorded before, and it was also different from the summoning circles in his memory. It could be said that this was not a magic circle that summoned the evil god at all… If you have to say it, it gave him the feeling of a magic circle that absorbed other people’s power.
Gu Wuji himself didn’t know how he saw it. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that when he learned two magics, his mind also automatically mastered some knowledge related to ordinary magic.
“What is he going to do?”
Gu Wuji himself was already very nervous, but the others did not have any fearful thoughts. Instead, they were very excited. After entering here, they could clearly feel that something was resonating with their own marks. These people had never had such close contact with the evil god.
Everyone’s face was filled with fanaticism, and they looked at the magic circle as if they wanted to sacrifice themselves.
Gu Wuji saw the expressions of the people around him and immediately realized that something was wrong. “These people seem to be confused by something. Maybe it’s because of the evil god’s mark. They think they are fanatics… Everything else is completely forgotten.”
It seems that this morning, it was because of this relationship that these people didn’t notice the difference in breakfast and started eating directly.
Rong Qingman’s face also showed some confusion. After being pulled by Gu Wuji, he immediately became much more sober. His will was very firm. Even the evil god could not be compared with the position Gu Wuji held in his heart! What’s more, Rong Qingman already knew that the current ceremony was not very normal. At this time, the sound of the door closing came from behind, and Felicia and his men also walked in together.
“Finally, this moment has come. I think everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time.” Felicia smiled at everyone. When he saw Gu Wuji, his smile deepened. “Tonight, the ceremony will be successful. Of course, you all know that this ceremony originally required sacrifices.”
Gu Wuji and Rong Qingman’s faces changed, but the others around them didn’t notice it at all. They looked over there very enthusiastically, as if it didn’t matter what they offered for it.
“But don’t worry now. Because everyone is very pious, there is no need for sacrifices anymore.” Felicia said: “You just need to close your eyes, kneel on the ground and pray, and wait for everything to end.”
The others looked ecstatic and almost wanted to do what Felicia said immediately, without any other thoughts.
“Wait!” How could Gu Wuji watch all this happen? He suddenly spoke.
“Oh?” Felicia looked at Gu Wuji’s face, which still had a faint smile, as if it didn’t matter what Gu Wuji said.
“Think about it! From the beginning, this ceremony was just a scam. “Gu Wuji took a deep breath and stepped forward and said, “This ritual can’t possibly make any wishes come true. All this circle wants to do is absorb our power and turn all of us into wandering ghosts, forever imprisoned in this place, just like the other ghosts in this place…”
When Gu Wuji jumped out to confront Felicia, the system didn’t even remind Gu Wuji that his character image had collapsed, which made Gu Wuji notice something.
After all, compared to his master, the more critical part of his personality was the fanaticism…and his love for his master was also because of the fanaticism. If there was a disagreement on this point, it was not surprising that Gu Wuji would have doubts.
“It makes me sad, aren’t you the person who should trust me the most? Now you are doubting me because of these outsiders?” Felicia sighed, as if he was very sad about it, but then he raised his head, and his amber eyes looked at Gu Wuji coldly, “So, you have remembered everything.”
“What? “Gu Wuji was keenly aware of the wrongness in his words.
“After all, from the beginning you were not my subordinate, nor were you a spy sent by me. You are just a person who came to this place like everyone else.” Felicia said softly, “I just modified your memories a little for my own selfish reasons.”
“Why… did you do this?” Gu Wuji had never expected that the identity assigned to him by the system would have such a background. It was impossible that Felicia fell in love with him at first sight?!
Even if Gu Wuji encountered evil spirits with strange sexual orientations who were interested in him in every copy, he did not think that he had such great charm to attract Felicia when they met for the first time, so…
“Sure enough.” Gu Wuji took out the two rings he had kept and looked at Felicia. His eyes were a little complicated for a moment, “You are him. This explains everything.”
Even though so many years had passed and even his face had changed. But for a part of the evil god like Felicia, this was something that could be done easily.
“Yes, you remember everything.” Felicia spoke softly, and suddenly smiled, with some indescribable emotion in his eyes, and looked straight at Gu Wuji, “I really like you. Since the past, you always show up to help me at the most critical moment. You are the only one who will never be afraid of me, nor hate me… and you are so gentle to me.”
The other people around them were so shocked by the content of their verbal battle that they suddenly woke up from the weird state and looked at them in astonishment.
Gu Wuji: “…” Where does the filter of gentleness come from? He has been trying so hard to maintain his iceberg personality!
