The girl’s face didn’t look very good after she finished speaking.
Gu Wuji comforted her, and he was already thinking about the dream he had had before, so he asked about it again.
When the girl heard about the female ghost in wedding clothes, her face turned pale immediately, and she just kept shaking her head, saying that she knew nothing, and then left in a hurry.
No matter how Gu Wuji looked at it, he felt that there was a big problem here, but he couldn’t see the other person’s figure when he chased after her.
In this extremely dark corridor, this scene would be like seeing a ghost if it were an ordinary person, and he was afraid they would have been afraid of it a long time ago.
“It seems that her athletic ability is quite good. It’s a pity to stay in this village. We should persuade her parents to send her to be trained. Maybe she can serve the motherland.” Gu Wuji looked at the end of the corridor with a gratified look.
Although he encountered a ghost the first time he came here, Gu Wuji was a very determined person, and his cognition of some things was so stubborn that it was outrageous.
Because the copy arranged a setting for him as an ordinary person who didn’t believe in ghosts in the world, it was difficult for Gu Wuji to change his concept in a short time!
Even Gu Wuji was still thinking about the dreams he had and the things he had encountered before… Although he was so shocked that he suspected that there were ghosts in the village, after calming down, Gu Wuji felt that these things might be explained by some scientific principles. This was not impossible. He had watched a lot of xx science programs!
This was also the insidious part of this copy. According to the setting, if you wanted to restore your memory, you must be greatly stimulated or threatened in the copy, and you also needed to rely on luck… In short, it was easy to get stuck in it.
But for someone like Gu Wuji, it could be said that it was very difficult for such a situation to happen.
He didn’t know if it was Gu Wuji’s illusion. After he said those very positive words, he always felt that the yin energy around him seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Gu Wuji: “……?”
The next moment, a cold breath rushed towards Gu Wuji, with a stronger momentum than before, as if to get back some place.
It was not known whether it was because of the rain, but water marks slowly appeared on the wall, forming a ghost face. At first glance, the dark pupils could scare people to death, and it stared straight at Gu Wuji.
Gu Wuji was stunned when he saw it, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.
The ghost face on the wall also showed a hideous smile at this time, as if it was anticipating how the person in front of it would piss and collapse to the ground in the next moment, just like other people it had met before –
“I have seen it in xx science before. This should be a kind of mold that changes due to humidity…” Gu Wuji approached with a curious look, “I didn’t expect that I could see it here. Is it related to the unique feng shui of this village?”
While saying this, Gu Wuji took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a picture of the scene with a high-definition camera.
The ghost felt as if he was being harassed and was extremely angry. He even wanted to kill this person immediately regardless of the rules of the copy… But the next moment, it suddenly noticed something and immediately hid its body.
Gu Wuji found that the ‘mold’ on the wall disappeared when he was about to take a photo. He put down his phone in disappointment, “It disappeared too quickly.”
At this moment, a chill came from behind. Gu Wuji turned his head and saw a figure holding an umbrella passing by the window at the end of the corridor.
He couldn’t see the figure of the person clearly, but he felt that the other person’s eyes paused on him for a while.
But although he couldn’t see anything clearly, he could feel that the other person seemed to open his mouth and say something softly.
Gu Wuji subconsciously felt a strong sense of crisis, and his body paused for a while. He didn’t come back until the figure completely disappeared from his sight.
“What’s going on…”
Gu Wuji was finally able to turn around and go back to the room. What happened in just a short period of time seemed as long as the past few hours.
He didn’t even know how many times he had encountered fatal dangers.
The environment in the house was very bad, the floor was freezing cold, and the mats on it seemed to have been piled in the warehouse for a long time. The mattresses they covered them with were like rags. If it wasn’t actually summer now, everyone would probably get sick after sleeping like this for a night.
Although everyone dared not to stab Yang Shao openly, they could only secretly ridicule him because they were dissatisfied with the current situation.
On the surface, Yang Shao was furious and scolded these people, but in his heart, he was indifferent to their performance. If these people knew that they were in a copy, would they have time to entangle such trivial matters?
“What did you do for so long?” Yang Shao looked at Gu Wuji with a questioning look in his eyes, and sneered: “Did you go to seduce the little girl? It’s a pity that you have such a mind in such a broken place.”
“What are you talking about.” Xiao Qin next to him couldn’t stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and said: “You got lost in the cemetery before. If it weren’t for Brother Gu, you would still be lying in the cemetery now!”
Because of his amnesia, Gu Wuji didn’t use a pseudonym in this copy. But for Yang Shao, who usually didn’t care about the entertainment industry at all and only looked at the system space, he thought Gu Wuji was using a pseudonym.
“If it weren’t for him, I could come here by myself.” Yang Shao snorted coldly.
Gu Wuji immediately said, “Stop arguing. Actually, I just found a mold on the wall outside that looks like a ghost face. I wanted to take a photo to show you, but it suddenly disappeared.”
Yang Shao was confused, “…” You must have encountered a ghost!! You can still come back unscathed. Should I say you are lucky…
Others didn’t take it seriously. Although they also felt that this place was very gloomy, it was unlikely that there would be ghosts. Anyway, the conditions were a bit difficult. They should be able to meet the village chief tomorrow.
Gu Wuji found a place to sit down and told everyone what the girl had told him.
“This village is worthy of being a coffin maker village. There are such rumors.”
“Maybe she is trying to scare you. How could such a weird thing happen?”
“Speaking of which, I have heard the rumor in this village before.” Xiao Qin spoke again with great interest, as if he thought it was interesting to say such things in such an environment, “After a woman was brutally killed, all kinds of weird things happened in this village. Many people died at home. After death, they did not completely disappear, but appeared as ghosts…”
“The villagers were scared to death, knowing that the woman wanted revenge. Then they had to invite an expert, who suggested that they choose seven sacrifices, kill them and bury them in seven locations in the village, so as to suppress the soul of the woman.”
“This story is too illogical.” One person couldn’t help but retort, “After these seven people died, wouldn’t they become more terrifying ghosts? They are not scary at all. Who made it up without thinking?”
“It’s just a rumor anyway! Don’t take it so seriously.” Xiao Qin himself didn’t take it seriously at all. “Come to think of it, there are seven of us this time, including Yang Shao’s bodyguards. It’s quite a coincidence.”
“You made this up on the spur of the moment!”
“I definitely didn’t do that!”
Yang Shao’s expression became a little more serious. It seemed that this instance was quite troublesome. The seven sacrifices must have turned into extremely scary ghosts. In addition, the number of players just matched theirs… This was very dangerous.
He estimated that his two bodyguards had already been killed. He couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. It was a rare instance where he was sent NPCs to help him, but they died like this.
“Then the rumor doesn’t mention how that woman died?” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but ask, “She was killed so cruelly, something must have happened. This village might not be normal. Maybe the weird things that happened in this village later were also deliberately done by someone.”
“It’s just a rumor, Brother Gu, why are you so serious.” Xiao Qin shook his head, “Anyway, no matter what, this happened many years ago, and it has nothing to do with us now.”
“No, I think it is somewhat related.” A man with glasses spoke. His name was Duan Hongbo, and he was the most serious and rigid among the few people. “After all, wasn’t the skill of making coffins in this village developed from the beginning to suppress the female ghost? This is also the focus of our investigation this time.”
“Then do you know more details?” Gu Wuji asked curiously, “Are there no male ghosts?”
Although Gu Wuji subconsciously felt that there were no ghosts in this place, the strange figure he just saw, although not clearly visible, was obviously a male. In short, all aspects left a deep impression on Gu Wuji.
“I checked more information before I came. It is said that the reason why the seven sacrifices did not become ghosts was because of the seals on the coffins where they were buried. And these seven seals together became a more powerful seal to suppress the female ghost.”
Duan Hongbo said, “As for the death of that woman, there are too many rumors, but they don’t feel true. If you are interested, you can also search online.”
Everyone was reminded that their mobile phones could still be used. The topic ended like this. Everyone buried their heads in their mobile phones, but from time to time they complained that the Internet speed in this place was really too bad.
Gu Wuji picked up the phone and suddenly remembered that his previous game was still in the promotion period… He raised his phone and saw that there was no game in it.
Gu Wuji’s face couldn’t help but look ugly, as if his memory was also hit at this time, “Wait… It seems that I didn’t play the game at all, but that’s not right. I have obviously played the activity for several days. It’s impossible. This, and why did I come here during the activity period…”
Yang Shao next to him was shocked. What’s wrong with this person? Why did his memory suffer a strong impact because of the mobile game? If this goes on, he will remember it immediately!
He suddenly stepped forward and pressed Gu Wuji’s shoulders, trying to divert his attention, not caring whether his character was exposed or not. “I suddenly feel very scared!”
Gu Wuji: “…”
