Gu Wuji only felt groggy in his mind, as if he vaguely remembered something, but couldn’t quite remember it, “What’s going on…”
Although he couldn’t quite remember it, Gu Wuji felt that the situation was urgent and he needed to escape… That should be the case.
“There’s no time, hurry up and leave.” The middle-aged woman spoke anxiously, but a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Gu Wuji clearly saw that behind her, there was a female ghost with long hair and a hideous face lying on the ceiling, showing a resentful look to the two of them, especially when looking at Gu Wuji, she was resentful as if she was going to strangle him to death in the next moment.
According to Gu Wuji’s memory, he was just an ordinary man, and it would be normal for him to be scared and run away at this time.
But Gu Wuji always felt that he shouldn’t do such an unpresentable thing, and he was more curious about this female ghost than being afraid. Gu Wuji felt that what he needed to satisfy more at this time was his curiosity.
The middle-aged woman found that Gu Wuji was staring at the top of her head. When she looked up, she was so scared that she collapsed to the ground. Her eyes were full of fear. She knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, “Please… I absolutely did not hurt you! Let me go… It was all that man. He deceived your feelings and made things develop like this!”
The face of the female ghost also looked at Gu Wuji in response, revealing a deep hatred.
At this time, it was a scene where a scumb*g deceived an innocent girl and the other party turned into an evil ghost to take revenge.
The female ghost slowly approached Gu Wuji. It could be seen that she had drowned. Her face was pale and her body was completely wet. There was a constant flow of cold liquid. A pair of hands reached towards Gu Wuji’s neck, obviously wanting to strangle him to death here.
The middle-aged woman slowly moved outward, intending to sacrifice Gu Wuji.
But Gu Wuji suddenly stood up at this time, facing the sight of one man and one ghost, looking at the female ghost, taking a deep breath and saying, “I think we can still discuss the current situation. I should be responsible.”
The picture seemed to freeze at this moment, and the female ghost looked at Gu Wuji with a confused look.
The middle-aged woman also looked at this side in astonishment. This is not right, how can this man be so calm when facing a ghost.
“According to your statement and my memory, I should be a scumb*g who deceived this female ghost. At the same time, because I cruelly abandoned her and wanted to leave the village, she committed suicide and became a ghost, so the villagers want to kill me as a sacrifice.” Gu Wuji said with reason, “This situation is obviously wrong, because I am not a person who would do such a thing. I am a responsible and good citizen.”
Although Gu Wuji couldn’t remember anything, he was sure that he must be a kind person! This alone made Gu Wuji firmly believe that there was something wrong with the ghost.
Others probably didn’t expect him to be so confident… It could only be said that Gu Wuji was really a good person.
“So, if I’m not dreaming, this should be some kind of illusion. You forced me to have a certain identity… Why is that?” Gu Wuji looked at the female ghost. There was no fear of seeing a ghost on his face. He was so calm that it made people feel creepy. “According to the current situation, you want me to escape from this room. In that case, I think there is real danger outside the house.”
After all, for Gu Wuji, finding out the truth was simply his obsessive-compulsive disorder. He would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t figure it out.
He looked out the window. It was completely dark outside. Nothing could be seen clearly. No one knew what would happen if he escaped outside. Even the middle-aged woman looked limp and unable to move when she was almost at the door.
The female ghost was stared at by Gu Wuji so scorchingly that she even flinched for a while. But she suddenly wanted to pull out her hand at this time but found that Gu Wuji was extremely powerful.
Is this guy still a person?! In fact, this guy is a ghost!! The female ghost’s face showed fear.
The middle-aged woman wanted to turn around and leave when she saw that the situation was not good, but Gu Wuji, who came over at some point, held her shoulder and said, “I think you should explain the current situation.”
The middle-aged woman: “…”
The female ghost next to her was still panicking, and it was obvious that she was useless.
The two faced each other, and the middle-aged woman finally spoke at a very fast speed: “I didn’t expect you to find out so quickly. I have met so many people, and you are the first one to react so quickly. There are indeed hidden dangers outside. If you ran away, you would be a dead man now… Okay, you can leave.”
“Wait, you haven’t told me yet–“
….
Gu Wuji suddenly opened his eyes and found that it was already dusk and it was still drizzling. He was walking on a mountain road, and there were several people following him. Everyone was panting and sweating on their foreheads. Obviously, the situation was not very good.
They were all students studying a certain custom. This time, they came to find a village in the mountains because they found some information, but the road here was really difficult to walk. They found their destination almost when it was dark.
This was what Gu Wuji recalled, and this identity was much more reliable than the scumb*g in his dream, but he always felt that something was wrong.
“What did I dream about just now?” Gu Wuji covered his forehead, remembering that he seemed to have dreamed of a female ghost just now, but the biggest problem was that he didn’t figure out what was going on in his dream.
A person next to him saw that Gu Wuji’s face was not very good and immediately said: “Hold on a little longer, we will be there soon, the village is not far away.”
“Well, thank you, Xiao Qin.” Gu Wuji nodded. Although walking on the mountain road was nothing to him, the other party kindly reminded him anyway, so Gu Wuji thought he was a good person.
A person walking behind sneered, “A grown man is still so delicate, who do you think you are, do you want someone to carry you?”
As the eldest young master with one of the best family backgrounds in their class, Yang Shao looked arrogant at this time, and even his things were carried by the bodyguard next to him, looking at Gu Wuji with contempt.
Maybe because he was not as handsome as Gu Wuji, Yang Shao’s attitude towards Gu Wuji was not very good, and he often targeted him.
For some reason, Gu Wuji felt that such a young master made him feel very kind, and the look he gave him was mysteriously tolerant. Yang Shao got goose bumps all over his body and felt mysteriously terrified.
Soon, they were not far from their destination. Gu Wuji looked at the scene in the distance and felt that the dream he had before was not false.
It was a very remote village. It was said that it was once famous for making coffins, but it had declined in recent years. There had also been rumors of hauntings, and generally no one would come here.
In the mist, the village in front of him looked even more gloomy, and the style of its buildings was similar to the one that appeared in Gu Wuji’s dream, which made people feel uneasy.
Gu Wuji felt very familiar. Although he was just an ordinary student, why was he so used to such an atmosphere? Was it because of the dream he had before…
“What is going on?” One person frowned and had a bad idea. He said, “This village doesn’t look right.”
“Do you know the rumor that this village is haunted?” Xiao Qin spoke at this time, “I heard that many people have died in this village. A woman was brutally killed, and since then this village has-“
“Shut up!” Yang Shao quickly interrupted Xiao Qin’s words, and said with contempt, “Where are ghosts in this world? You are really dreaming. Let’s go faster. I don’t want to camp outside after dark.”
Everyone was full of resentment towards this young master, but no one talked back to him. After all, people like Yang Shao were very troublesome. It was better to pretend that he didn’t say anything, and moreover most of the expenses for this trip were sponsored by him.
The group walked slowly to the edge of the village and immediately felt the chill blowing in their faces, which made them shiver, but soon they met an old man at the entrance of the village. Everyone was relieved to see a living person and hurried forward to talk to him.
The old man looked like he didn’t want to talk to them, and just shook his head, “This is not the place you should come to.”
Yang Shao said arrogantly that he had already booked a homestay here and asked the other party to take him there quickly.
Yes, there was actually a homestay in this broken place, otherwise why would a young master like Yang Shao come here. This was also what made everyone feel strange. After all, there were obviously no tourists here. So can you really make money by opening a homestay?
When the old man heard the destination in his words, a look of horror immediately appeared on his face, and then he slowly spoke in the eyes of everyone, “That place… is just a cemetery, there is no homestay at all.”
Everyone’s body froze immediately, and they had already vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Yang Shao’s face was ugly, but he still pulled everyone over to confirm. All the villagers he met along the way avoided them, as if they were afraid of being infected.
“What’s wrong with these villagers?” Xiao Qin couldn’t help but ask, “They are so shy about outsiders, has something happened before?”
Gu Wuji looked at the surroundings thoughtfully, “Who knows.” He noticed that each of these buildings was very old, and some of the windows were broken and were just sealed with wooden strips, without any serious repairs.
Rather than saying that these villagers were avoiding them, it was better to say that they were avoiding him… After all, the villagers’ eyes were all on him.
Gu Wuji: “…” Does he look so scary!
However, when everyone arrived at the destination, the location of the homestay was actually a cemetery, which scared everyone and started to think wildly.
Yang Shao was furious and said that he must complain after returning. This must be a prank by someone.
Although others already had a bad premonition in their hearts, they still thought there would be no ghosts in this place.
At this time, it was late, and the way back was even darker. There seemed to be no electricity in this village, and few people used candles. It seemed that they all went to bed when it got dark. The whole place was silent as if there were only a few living people.
“What a lousy place.” Yang Shao couldn’t help but curse but suddenly found that the bodyguard who usually agreed with him was silent at this time.
Yang Shao subconsciously closed his mouth and turned his head to see that he was the only one left around!
