Facing this scene, Yang Shao was not afraid, but sneered, “Has the first wave of ghosts finally arrived? This is a good time for me to figure out this dungeon…”
That’s right, Yang Shao was also a player who entered this promotion dungeon, and he was quite famous outside, and his strength was quite amazing.
It was better to say that there were not many ordinary players who could enter the advanced promotion dungeon, and those players who were not good at it had already died.
“I didn’t expect that the biggest difficulty this promotion dungeon posed is to make all of us lose our memory.” Yang Shao was proud when he thought of this, and slowly took off his outer coat, revealing the props he was wearing inside – a red skirt worn by a woman. This skirt was the clothes worn by a female ghost boss in a dungeon he passed by in the past, and it contained great resentment.
Yang Shao got it by chance, and this prop could deter other low-level ghosts when worn and could even let him command them.
The only drawback was that this was a woman’s dress, but such a small thing was nothing in the face of life-threatening danger!
“But it probably didn’t expect that I have special props on me. No matter what happens, I will not forget the reality. This dungeon is simply prepared for me.” Yang Shao looked at the ghosts slowly floating towards him in the surrounding cemetery, with a confident look on his face.
Of course, he also noticed that most of the people who came to this village were probably players, especially Gu Wuji, who was very handsome. Wasn’t this the famous Sun Shi before? He didn’t expect that the other party didn’t even change his appearance when he came to upgrade the dungeon.
But no matter who it was, in the current amnesiac state, he would only think that he was an ordinary person. In this case, he would definitely panic when encountering a ghost, and it was good enough if he didn’t get scared to death. Even if you stay in this village, which may not be ridiculously difficult, you may die at any time.
After all, without so much dungeon training, even if you have the ability to deal with ghosts, you can’t use it. What’s the difference between this and a child holding an axe?
And Yang Shao would not remind others. Anyway, in such a dungeon, only protecting your own safety was the priority, and it was okay to let others be cannon fodder for him. Of course, for this reason, he also pretended to know nothing in front of outsiders to get away with it.
The terrifying ghosts around were already quite close, but they seemed to be afraid to get too close because of the red skirt.
Just when Yang Shao was about to catch a ghost and ask him clearly, a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder.
The ghosts around him suddenly disappeared as if they were disturbed.
Yang Shao was shocked. There was actually a ghost that could approach silently and ignore the deterrence of the red skirt prop. Such a scary guy came at the beginning of this copy?!
He turned his head suddenly and saw Gu Wuji’s figure.
In this dark graveyard illuminated only by the dim moonlight, Gu Wuji’s beautiful face was not like a living person. It was like a ghost that sucked people’s souls. The pupils seemed to be dark and bottomless.
Yang Shao was shocked. If it weren’t for the warmth in Gu Wuji’s hand and the fact that the person was indeed the Sun Shi he knew… he would definitely think that the person in front of him was a ghost.
Gu Wuji had no idea what was going on in Yang Shao’s mind, but he looked over with concern, “Are you okay?”
Yang Shao: “Of course I’m fine! Are you kidding? Did you hide on purpose to scare me? Suddenly I’m the only one in this broken place?”
Although he still looked like an arrogant young master, Yang Shao was sweating profusely. After all, how did Gu Wuji appear without anyone noticing? Could it be that the other party also had memories? Or was this Gu Wuji testing him?
In just a few breaths, countless thoughts had emerged in Yang Shao’s mind, causing him to be more and more wary of Gu Wuji.
Then Yang Shao found that Gu Wuji had been looking at him with a slightly subtle look, and his heart tightened.
“It’s okay, I respect you.” Gu Wuji patted Yang Shao’s shoulder again, with a deep understanding in his tone, “After all, everyone has their own different hobbies, as long as it doesn’t affect others…”
Yang Shao: “…” Damn!! He’s wearing that women’s clothing!!
And because Yang Shao was tall and muscular, the visual effect was really not flattering, so Gu Wuji could only comfort him so nonchalantly.
If someone else came, seeing a tall man wearing a red skirt in a cemetery, they would probably be scared away long ago, and would not be able to come up to see the situation.
Yang Shao suddenly put on a thick coat and couldn’t help but want to defend himself, “I don’t have that kind of fetish. Anyway, you must never tell this to anyone!”
He had entered so many dungeons, and this was the first time that someone had thought of it! Most players would know that this was a prop after seeing it! But the others had lost their memories now and there was nothing they could do. Yang Shao could only endure it temporarily.
“It’s okay, I understand, of course I won’t tell anyone else.” Gu Wuji’s eyes were full of understanding.
Yang Shao: “…” No, you don’t understand!
Gu Wuji then said, “We were just about to return to the village, but suddenly we found that you were missing, so everyone came out to look for you. It’s great that you’re okay.”
Although he said so, in fact, this was Gu Wuji’s way of comforting Yang Shao. In fact, except for him and Yang Shao’s two bodyguards, everyone else stayed in the village and was unwilling to come out. Who would be willing to go to a graveyard to look for someone in such a dangerous situation?
“Humph, so I have to thank you for that?” Yang Shao was conscientiously maintaining his own personality. In fact, he also wanted to stimulate Gu Wuji to see if Gu Wuji would reveal any flaws. He didn’t believe that Gu Wuji was really just an ordinary good person in the case of amnesia.
Gu Wuji looked at Yang Shao with the eyes of tolerance for the naughty child, “Anyway, it’s good that you’re okay. Let’s go back quickly so that everyone won’t worry.”
Yang Shao didn’t have a problem with his brain, so of course he agreed to Gu Wuji’s proposal, and the two walked back.
But he didn’t know what happened. The way back seemed to become very long, and the surrounding yin energy was extremely strong. Some lonely graves that had not been noticed before could be faintly seen on the side of the road.
“These tombstones always give people a weird feeling.” Gu Wuji looked around and said casually, “Don’t you think that they form some shape that surrounds this cemetery?”
Yang Shao was shocked. Was this a test of Gu Wuji or was he just saying it casually? But since he said these words, no matter how you look at it, it is already…
“Why do you have such an idea?” Yang Shao’s tone unconsciously became much lower.
This time it was Gu Wuji who looked at Yang Shao with astonishment, “Didn’t we come to this village to study these things?”
Yang Shao: “…”
Gu Wuji then sighed again, “But after all, you… can understand it.”
Yang Shao: “…” What can be understood! Why did he suddenly say that he seemed to be a disabled person.
From this point of view, Gu Wuji should not have recovered his memory yet. Yang Shao certainly realized that there was something wrong with these tombstones. In his opinion, maybe the boss of the copy was hidden in this cemetery.
The two continued walking forward and successfully returned to the village from the fog. They met other people, but Yang Shao’s two bodyguards were nowhere to be found, and no one knew where they had gone.
The villagers were reluctant to accept outsiders like them, but Yang Shao offered them money, which made many people start to be tempted. Finally, a family was willing to lend them a room.
This family was obviously one of the poorest in the village. The house they lived in was so dilapidated that people even doubted whether it would collapse in a strong wind and rain. The window of the room they lived in was broken, and there was not even a wooden board to seal it.
There was a taciturn middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man who looked very irritable, and a timid daughter who looked about 17 or 18 years old. She looked gray and her clothes were very shabby.
Dinner was also provided by this family. It was obviously very bland. There was no meat or even oil. But considering that the conditions of others were just like that, everyone had to endure it. Yang Shao kept nitpicking.
But if you looked closely, you would find that although Yang Shao cursed, his words were not too extreme, and he did not directly attack others… After all, he was a player with memory, and he was afraid that if he stimulated them too much, these villagers would become ghosts to take revenge.
After dinner, everyone prepared to rest so that they could get enough energy to find the person in charge of the village tomorrow. As for the bodyguards, there was nothing they could do. Gu Wuji thought that after all, the two strong men should be fine outside.
Unless they encountered some ghosts.
The girl spread some worn-out mats in the room, as everyone would live here tonight. The conditions were really too bad, and many people had complaints. Fortunately, the mobile phone could still access the Internet, which made them feel a little relieved.
Gu Wuji went up to help her, and the girl immediately showed gratitude. When she saw Gu Wuji’s handsome face, she immediately felt that she couldn’t bear to see such a handsome man with a beautiful heart die tragically and immediately whispered: “Be careful tonight.”
“Huh?” Gu Wuji immediately looked at the other party with an inquiring look.
“There is something wrong in this village…” The girl looked around and saw no one coming over before she spoke to Gu Wuji: “Some strange things will appear outside at night, and they will disguise themselves as familiar faces and call you outside… No matter what happens at that time, you must never go out.”
“What will happen if you go out?” Gu Wuji did not doubt the other party’s words. Although he had lost all his memories, at least he had had that weird dream before.
“People often disappear in this village. Maybe they all heard that call.” The girl’s face showed fear. “My parents never let me talk about it. This is a taboo in this village.”
The girl’s words made Gu Wuji feel as if he had experienced similar things before, but he couldn’t remember it. He began to wonder if he had any mental problems.
“But I remember it very clearly. It was a few years ago. My sister and I slept in this room together, and suddenly I heard a strange sound coming from outside.” The girl’s face became paler and paler. “My sister went out, and then… never came back.”
