Gu Wuji turned around and saw Yang Shao and Xiao Qin looking at him in shock. He was confused then his eyes turned a little subtle, “What’s wrong? Did you want to go out for a walk? Two men in the middle of the night…”
Xiao Qin and Yang Shao: “…”
Why did the tense and fearful atmosphere suddenly disappear!
Xiao Qin’s brain froze and he quickly said, “No, no, Brother Gu, listen to my explanation. Yang Shao and I are not in that kind of relationship!”
“It’s okay, I can understand you.” Gu Wuji looked at the two with a friendly look, “It’s just that I really didn’t expect that you two actually have a good relationship. In fact, you don’t have to hide it in front of outsiders…”
Yang Shao on the side felt that Gu Wuji was too damn natural. He didn’t know whether it was real or intentional. Then he suddenly noticed something was wrong and immediately clenched his hand around the prop in his hand. While Xiao Qin said in surprise, “Brother Gu, be careful behind you!”
In the sight of the two of them, the ghost suddenly appeared on the roof, looking at Gu Wuji with a ferocious look, as it stretched out its hands to grab Gu Wuji’s neck.
Gu Wuji turned his head abruptly and took out the kitchen knife he had kept. Under the cold light, the ghost immediately shrank back in fear.
“What? There’s nothing behind this. Is the door not closed? Are there any wild animals in the village?”
Just as Gu Wuji ran to the door to look again, the ghost had already suddenly pounced towards Xiao Qin and Yang Shao. Of course, due to some reasons, the first person it pounced on was Yang Shao.
Yang Shao also thought he was screwed. Why didn’t this ghost attack Gu Wuji! Thinking like this, he suddenly took out his props, and a shield suddenly appeared in front of him.
Xiao Qin, who was next to him, was stunned. He didn’t expect Yang Shao to have such advanced things. Isn’t he just an ordinary rich second generation?!
At this moment, the ghost touched the shield and was immediately electrocuted and retreated a little. It then attacked Xiao Qin unwillingly.
“Ahhh help! Brother Gu!!!”
Gu Wuji suddenly turned his head in the face of Xiao Qin’s terrified cry.
The ghost seemed to see that the situation was not good and its figure disappeared directly. At this time, Yang Shao’s shield also suddenly disappeared. In short, the scene became very normal.
“What happened?” Gu Wuji looked at Xiao Qin in confusion.
It could be said that since he was awakened by a gust of cold wind, Gu Wuji didn’t see anything at all. He only saw Yang Shao and Xiao Qin, who looked scared to death because they were caught having an affair. He didn’t believe in the ghost’s existence at all.
“There was a ghost just now!” Xiao Qin, terrified, stumbled to Gu Wuji’s side, clutching his arm tightly. “It came in from the door! It wanted to kill us! But for some reason, after seeing you, Brother Gu, it disappeared…”
“Oh, oh.” Gu Wuji looked at Xiao Qin with a very tolerant look. After all, he was a hallucinating patient who needed his gentle treatment.
Yang Shao stood up, his face grimacing. He then walked to the window and glanced around. The fog outside was so thick that he could no longer see the building opposite. The entire house was like a prison, completely trapping them. He was afraid that the building had now become a strange space. Even if they escaped, they would be lost in the fog and would return here like a ghost wall.
The two companions on the ground, who were sleeping like dead pigs and had not woken up despite the noise, only confirmed his suspicion.
The only way to break the spell was to subdue the ghost that had infiltrated the house!
Of course, the ghost didn’t look very strong right now. It might even have been frightened by Gu Wuji’s kitchen knife and directly blocked by his shield. But the ghost still managed to sneak into the building. There must be a way to make it stronger here. When it really became strong enough, everyone would die!
“Do you remember the story of these two houses?” Yang Shao looked at the two of them. He no longer cared about maintaining his image. In such a dangerous situation, he still needed the help of these two people.
… I just hope their bodies still remember how to deal with ghosts.
Xiao Qin shook his head tremblingly. He was just here to make up the numbers. He didn’t have the patience to read this kind of literature. He was just planning to curry favor with others.
“I still remember it.” Gu Wuji said, “These two families were originally brothers with very good relations, but conflicts arose between them because of their interests. Later, one of the people in one family was calculated to be a sacrifice. In the end, it led to the death of everyone.”
“Yes, the sacrifice in the story was the only son of the younger brother between the brothers who lived in the building opposite. He came to his uncle’s house to play, but he didn’t expect that what awaited him was the ending of being killed alive and becoming a sacrifice.” Yang Shao said, “I saw these in more detailed information.”
“The human heart is really hard to guess.” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but sigh. Fortunately, he was lucky and had always met all kinds of good people.
“But after that, strange things started happening in this place. Several people in the uncle’s family who initiated the sacrifice went insane and eventually turned on each other and it wiped out the entire family. So there must be a lot of ghosts in this house.” Yang Shao took a deep breath. “Compared to this, the village chief arranged for us to stay here. The ghosts from the other side didn’t come earlier or later, but they chose to target us today… It’s obvious that the village chief was behind it!”
“I see.” Gu Wuji’s expression became more serious. It sounded like the hallucinogenic mold in this building was very scary! Even Yang Shao imagined so many plots because of this…
Of course, this was probably also due to psychological factors. After all, Yang Shao was still being persecuted by the grudges of the wealthy family, and the whereabouts of his two bodyguards were still unknown. In short, it seemed that these people could no longer live here.
Xiao Qin no longer cared about why Yang Shao suddenly knew so much knowledge about ghosts. In fact, he had a vague feeling of familiarity when listening, as if he had often come into contact with this kind of knowledge in the past. “Then what should we do now?”
“I guess they can no longer suppress those sacrifices, so they need new sacrifices.” Yang Shao said: “Or give some benefits to satisfy the ghosts of these sacrifices. We guess that is the so-called benefit.”
Xiao Qin’s face became quite ugly, and he murmured, “If the legends are true, this village is really not simple. Damn it, I should have left earlier! I shouldn’t have listened to the village chief’s nonsense and stayed here.”
“What we have to do now is to find that ghost! And find a way to catch it and wait until dawn to seal it back in the coffin in the building opposite.” This was the best solution Yang Shao could think of.
“What can we do to catch the ghost?” Xiao Qin said tremblingly, “We are just ordinary people. How can we do anything about ghosts!”
“I can’t do anything about that.” Yang Shao’s tone became impatient. Did he still have to teach people how to get started? This matter depended on the luck of these two people. “According to my guess, this sacrifice will definitely devour the other ghosts in the house. The other ghosts definitely don’t want this to happen. Maybe they will help us.”
“Oh oh.” Xiao Qin didn’t understand at all, but he didn’t know what to do. “Don’t we need to wake Duan Hongbo and the others?”
“You can’t wake them up. To be precise, they are not here at all.” Yang Shao said.
Gu Wuji was shocked. He didn’t expect Yang Shao to have such a rich imagination. It was a waste for him to choose this major. He should be more suitable for being a screenwriter.
To avoid upsetting the two patients, Gu Wuji pretended to agree with their plan and said, “Okay, let’s search the house. If we run into any danger, make a sound and call me.”
Xiao Qin didn’t have the courage to walk on his own, nor did he dare to follow Yang Shao, whose temper had drastically changed. So, he followed Gu Wuji.
Using the light from their phones, the two of them slowly ascended the stairs.
The staircase was dilapidated and steep, without even a railing. A single careless fall carried the possibility of death. There were even reports of two people in the same household falling to their deaths after a scuffle there.
The thought of this made Xiao Qin’s legs tremble, and he was practically paralyzed with fear.
Fortunately, Gu Wuji, standing in front of him, walked with a calm demeanor and a steady pace, showing no sign of fear at all. This gave Xiao Qin some confidence, and he managed to keep himself together and followed Gu Wuji upstairs.
The second-floor hall was a chaotic mess, cluttered with various items. Next to it were several dark rooms with doorways wide open, making it impossible to see what was inside. During the day, when everyone came up and saw how messy the place was, they all left. They only had to sleep downstairs anyway, so who would have thought it would be so scary after dark.
“Do you want to check out the other rooms?” Gu Wuji asked.
“No!! Brother Gu, I’ll come with you.” Xiao Qin said quickly. He felt that the yin energy on the second floor was much stronger than downstairs. If he and Gu Wuji were separated, he would probably die on the spot.
Gu Wuji just let him do what he wanted, stepped over the debris under his feet, and walked into the first door on the side.
It was really obvious here that the owner of the house was mentally unstable. There were all kinds of messy scribbles on the walls, as if they were scribbled in a state of mental disorder.
Xiao Qin was so scared that he was shaking all over. If he didn’t know that if he turned around and ran, he would die even faster, he would have run away long ago.
Gu Wuji soon found a black and white photo on the desk in front of him. Strangely, it still looked very new in its condition. It was a photo of two families. You could see that the adults in the photo had different expressions, and there was a sense of conflict at first glance.
However one of the boys had his head lowered, somewhat shyly, but in the photo, he looked eerie, with strange stains smearing across his face, giving off a chilling feeling.
Xiao Qin was startled when he saw him. “That’s the ghost!”
“I know.” Gu Wuji put the photo away, thinking to himself that the effects created by the mold were too intense. These patients were actually automatically completing their settings based on real-life events… If this continued, the situation would be dire.
As the two turned to leave, a faint shadow appeared behind them. It was the ghost, now much more solid. It smiled grimly at their backs and suddenly pounced.
