Felicia was stunned for a moment, and then he didn’t say anything, just walked slowly with Gu Wuji in the distorted space.
Even though it had become like this, he still knew where the destination was, just like when the two met for the first time, Gu Wuji suddenly appeared in front of him and took him to a safe place.
Even though Gu Wuji’s attitude was so cold at the beginning, he still felt the kind of emotion he had never felt from other people. That was the first time someone really cared about him, instead of treating him as a part of the so-called god.
The destination was not far, but the road seemed particularly long. When the two came to the familiar door, Gu Wuji pushed the door open and said softly, “Welcome home.”
“Yes, this is my home.” Felicia looked at Gu Wuji deeply.
On that thunderstorm night, when Gu Wuji appeared in front of him and told him a story, he finally felt that he had a place that he could call home, even though it only happened in one night.
Gu Wuji sighed softly, took Felicia’s hand, as if the other party was still a child in that world, and the two walked into the door together.
The moment he entered the door, Gu Wuji once again felt the feeling that his body seemed to penetrate a certain space.
Just as Gu Wuji was about to leave completely, Felicia’s voice faintly sounded in his mind.
“You have actually been here a long time ago, but that time, you looked different from now…”
“No matter what, you must pay attention, danger is all around you.”
Gu Wuji turned his head in surprise, but he had returned to reality, and there was no Felicia around. And those ghosts surrounded him and seemed to look at him with worried eyes.
At this time, Gu Wuji was standing in a corridor, and Rong Qingman, who was unconscious, was lying next to him. It seemed that since some time, his consciousness had inexplicably fallen into this strange place, but he didn’t notice it at all.
If he hadn’t suddenly remembered that memory just now, he might have been buried here with Felicia.
[Complete the side quest: Go home.]
[Reward player props: Weird picture book.
Weird picture book: Although the style of the pictures are really cute, the content is an extremely strange story. It is not suitable for children to watch. It seems to be attached with the obsession of some residual soul. If it falls into the hands of ordinary people, it is very likely to cause a catastrophe.
The effect is to temporarily trap ghosts or other beings in it, and can exert psychological pressure on them, causing psychological shadows.
The duration of the props and their effect on ghosts are affected by the residual soul’s favor towards the player and the player’s own ability.]
Gu Wuji: “……?” Is the prop this? I didn’t expect it to be so useful. He seems to have burned this book. The system should not have given him the burned book.
But now was not the time to entangle these. Gu Wuji took advantage of the situation and easily carried the unconscious Rong Qingman and hurried to the outside world.
The ghosts around looked at Gu Wuji’s extremely smooth movements while carrying an adult man, and they were a little amazed for a while…
This time things went unexpectedly smoothly. After Gu Wuji rushed to the hall, he looked around and saw nothing. This place was like a ruin.
Come to think of it, it’s too mysterious to use the same routine twice in the same copy. Gu Wuji didn’t feel anything wrong intuitively, so he rushed out of the hall and arrived outside where he could see the lake directly.
The entire island had become extremely strange. Gu Wuji turned around and found that it was almost swallowed by the black mist. There seemed to be hideous and twisted faces in the black mist, many of which were familiar. They were all players who came to this copy with him.
These ghosts seemed to have their own consciousness. Their expressions were painful, but even more crazy. They seemed to have forgotten what they were and were immersed in a weird state.
“It seems that these people are finished.” Gu Wuji was not surprised. As early as when these people sold themselves to the evil god in order to gain power at all costs, this ending was destined.
The mist was still expanding outward at a fairly fast speed. Gu Wuji didn’t dare to stay any longer. He hurried to the lake, put Rong Qingman on the boat, climbed up himself, picked up a piece of wood on the shore and started rowing.
Other ghosts also followed. Perhaps because of the distortion of the surrounding space, these ghosts were no longer part of the curse. Gu Wuji took advantage of the fact that he hadn’t left yet and hurriedly rowed the boat while purifying these ghosts.
By the time all the ghosts were sent away, Gu Wuji’s boat had already reached the center of the lake. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that if he couldn’t make it in the entertainment industry in the future, he might consider doing something in strength shows… The island was completely surrounded by fog, and Gu Wuji couldn’t see anything inside.
At this moment, there was a movement in the water. Gu Wuji felt the wood in his hand sink. He looked down and saw a ghost suddenly appear in the lake, and its sharp teeth directly bit the wood in his hand.
Gu Wuji frowned and tried to reason with the ghost, but after a snap, the already rotten wood broke directly.
Gu Wuji also noticed that there were countless ghosts in the water, all staring at this small boat. And this boat was just made of ordinary materials. If these ghosts rushed over, they had no chance of winning.
Fortunately, these ghosts seemed to be afraid of something and did not attack the boat.
Gu Wuji looked down and suddenly felt that extremely strong sight. He seemed to see that at the bottom of the lake, countless ghosts swarmed up, as if this boat was the only way for them to escape from this place.
He could faintly feel that the lake was like a whole, exuding an extremely dangerous atmosphere.
Gu Wuji suddenly remembered that when he was on the ghost cruise, the evil god was in the water. Even these people involved, each of them had a connection with the evil god because of the shipwreck on the water.
Gu Wuji: “…”
He was now going into a tiger’s den.
The moon in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, so bright that it seemed that the red color on it was about to flow into the lake, and the originally dark water surface was becoming clearer, and you could even clearly see the scene deep underwater.
But because they were all scary ghosts that made people feel spiritually polluted, Gu Wuji felt that it would be better to continue to be dark… If he hadn’t been well-informed, he would definitely be scared out of his wits.
There was a sense of impending storm all around him. Gu Wuji took a deep breath and was ready to face the evil god.
At this moment, the pocket watch in his hand suddenly burst into a golden light, and a familiar figure appeared clearly in front of Gu Wuji. Auston sat on one side and looked at Gu Wuji quietly.
“Auston.” Gu Wuji looked at the handsome blond young man with a complicated expression. After all, if it weren’t for Auston’s sacrifice in the ghost cruise copy, he would probably have knelt there at that time. And the other party confessed to him in the end… If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, Gu Wuji could basically treat it as nothing happening.
But Auston was still a person who had done him a favor, not to mention that the pocket watch prop dropped by the other party had saved Gu Wuji countless times in these copies. So Gu Wuji considered that he should reject him carefully. If the situation allowed, it would be better to reject him in a five-star hotel…
But now the conditions did not allow it, and Gu Wuji had no choice.
“I will let you leave here.” Auston gently held Gu Wuji’s hand, looking at him deeply with his eyes.
“What about you?” Gu Wuji asked.
Auston just shook his head and whispered, “If that happens, you can’t leave. As long as you can leave here, it is more important to me than anything else.”
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Wuji noticed that a faint light had started coming out of the other party’s hand holding his. Not only the hand, but even the boat began to emit a faint white light. The ghosts in the water wailed and retreated, not daring to approach here at all.
If this continued, they were not far from the other side.
Gu Wuji knew very well that as long as he got ashore, he could leave this dungeon. Moreover, Auston was just a ghost and should not exist in this world. Most players probably would not think that ghosts were worth saving. Being able to escape was the first priority for them.
The best result now was that Gu Wuji accepted this favor himself, returned to the real world honestly, and then thought of Auston’s kindness in his heart… just like in the past.
However, Gu Wuji did not want this to happen. Even if the other party was a ghost, he thought it was no different from an ordinary person, and he also wanted the other party to be free!
What’s more, he just got a prop, which might come in handy here.
Gu Wuji suddenly held Austin’s hand, “I can’t do this. I can’t let you sacrifice for me again. This time, I want to take you with me!”
“Take me?” Austin was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Gu Wuji to react like this. His eyes showed emotion, but also a little sadness. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly his face changed, “Oh no, he’s coming–“
Gu Wuji turned his head and saw that the black fog had slowly spread towards this side. The strong breath kept oppressing his nerves, making Gu Wuji feel that his mind was aching because of the strong and uneasy warning.
But he still had a last resort.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath and whispered to the air, “I want to randomly summon a ghost boss from a copy I’ve been to.”
The trouble with this summoning was that he didn’t know who would appear, but this was the only way to do it at this time.
When the voice fell, Gu Wuji immediately felt as if his body was drained, and he stumbled and fell on the boat. Auston next to him hurriedly supported him, so that Gu Wuji didn’t fall on Rong Qingman in embarrassment.
But the two of them could no longer care about so much. Another extremely powerful force suddenly descended into this space. The sudden gloomy atmosphere made everyone pale.
Gu Wuji turned his head and his breath stagnated.
“It seems that my luck can still be said to be pretty good?”
