Things progressed smoothly.
Gu Wuji and the young man discussed how to summon the evil god boss with smiles on their faces. Everyone around was dumbfounded. Sure enough, this guy was the most dangerous person here!
However, because Gu Wuji had previously demonstrated his amazing strength, the other players were wary and dared not make a move. They could only listen with trepidation, seeing Gu Wuji as a madman who could not be provoked.
Only the Fan brothers, Fan Yi and Fan Er, still firmly believed that Gu Wuji was definitely a good person.
The young man and Gu Wuji chatted happily. The young man even felt like he had found a kindred spirit and wished he could talk with Gu Wuji for days and nights. It seemed that he had indeed misunderstood Gu Wuji before. This was clearly a believer who knew the god very well! Presumably, the other party would sacrifice himself without his help.
Gu Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In reality, he didn’t know much, but his acting was good. He simply nodded and smiled appropriately when the other party excitedly talked.
In just a few words, the two had already devised a plan to summon the evil god. They immediately began drawing a summoning magic circle on the ground, using materials the young man had generously provided for Gu Wuji.
At this point, the other players finally couldn’t stand it any longer and tried to stop them, but after taking only a few steps, they found themselves stiffening. Before they knew it, several vengeful spirits that had originally targeted the casino owner were already beside them.
“Sorry,” Gu Wuji said to the crowd, “I can’t let you get in my way, so these ghosts will be watching you. As long as you stay put, they won’t attack. Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen.”
Gu Wuji felt his tone was very friendly, but to the others, it sounded even more sinister! Many people collapsed to the ground, feeling hopeless about escaping alive.
“How could this be? Is this Gu Wuji even human…?”
“I don’t believe any player could do this!”
“Do these vengeful ghosts have any backbone? They’re so obedient, how did he even manage that?”
The summoning circle was drawn rapidly, while the casino owner watched their actions in horror. He could clearly feel his power being absorbed little by little as the summoning circle perfected itself. Because he was already in the process of sacrifice, he couldn’t even struggle!
“What are you doing?!”
The casino owner quickly realized their purpose; the summoning circle’s purpose was already obvious.
A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out, and everyone looked up at the ceiling in astonishment. A crack was widening from it, and a faint golden light spread out, seemingly echoing the casino owner below.
As the golden light grew stronger, the yin energy intensified, and everyone could clearly feel countless ghosts trying to emerge from it. This casino hall, which could be considered the last safe haven, was about to become a hellish place!
But at this moment, the casino owner couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.
The young man frowned immediately. Gu Wuji also looked at him quietly.
“You are all so foolish, thinking you can summon a god here like this?” The casino owner sneered, “If it were possible, how could things have turned out like this? This casino has been an abandoned altar long ago!”
“What?” The young man was stunned.
“Do you think I’m the kind of person who would dare to do anything if a god could directly influence this place? Even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn’t dare to do anything.” The casino owner said, “But back then, I sensed that the god had completely abandoned this place, so I took the opportunity to take over. I’m barely keeping this place going by relying on the mark I obtained from the past trials.”
“I see.” Gu Wuji nodded. This explained it a bit. After all, the evil god boss didn’t seem like the kind of person who would just watch his subordinates do whatever they wanted.
So, the curse on this casino was actually just the casino owner himself? If he were dealt with, this casino would probably disappear completely.
“Your summoning array is just self-inflicted humiliation; everyone will still die here!”
The young man’s face darkened. “No wonder there’s always this strange feeling here… Wait, no, before—”
Before he could finish speaking, the ceiling shattered completely, turning into countless golden fragments. In that instant, everyone even felt the sound of water. Countless ghosts poured into the hall from the ceiling.
When everyone saw the sheer number of ghosts, they thought they were about to die, but after opening and closing their eyes for a long time, they realized that the ghosts were merely floating around, showing no intention of attacking directly.
Now, the casino was completely unrecognizable, a scene of utter devastation. Countless ghosts lingered around, and above them, a strange, otherworldly water surface appeared.
Looking up, all they saw was water floating illogically in the air, its bottom pitch black, obscuring what lay hidden within, yet sending chills down their spines, making them afraid to look any longer.
The casino owner was utterly stunned. This shouldn’t have happened, yet it had truly occurred. Connecting this to the marks Gu Wuji had previously displayed, he looked at Gu Wuji, his eyes filled with fear. “What exactly are you…”
He began to frantically regret who he had offended. If the other party’s identity was truly as he suspected, then even if he were to completely sacrifice himself to the gods, he would not have a good life afterward.
Before he could finish speaking, the casino owner had already completely lost his power due to the sacrifice. A semi-transparent, film-like substance shattered into ashes, which were completely dissipated by a gust of wind.
The middle-aged man’s body lay limply on the ground, and the casino owner’s ghost had now been completely sacrificed.
However, the casino, having lost the source of the curse, did not disappear. Instead, it continued to exist in a bizarre form, with the water above slowly approaching the ground. It seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye, it was much closer. At this rate, it would envelop everyone in just a few breaths.
The vengeful spirits in the casino, both excited and fearful, knelt on the ground, their attitude extremely respectful. Previously, their submission to the casino owner was out of necessity, but facing this boss…
Silence fell over the arena; everyone was too terrified to utter a sound. They realized the terrifying situation they were in. This level of boss was beyond their capabilities. Previous dungeon villains paled in comparison to this one.
[Hidden Quest Completed: Finally, the root of the curse on this casino has vanished, but this casino, which should have disappeared, has become a nightmare place due to the arrival of an even more terrifying being.]
[Dungeon difficulty increased to Nightmare level.]
Everyone: “?!” What level is this? They had never heard of it before; they had no idea there was an even higher-level dungeon above them.
[Nightmare level dungeon difficulty is too high. Players who cannot pass can choose to leave and will be teleported out of the dungeon, receiving the rewards for completing the original higher-level dungeon, as well as compensation.]
[At the same time, due to the opening of the Nightmare level dungeon, the final dungeon is also entering its countdown to opening. All players, please prepare.]
Hearing the system’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Not only could they leave, but they also received compensation. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they teleported away without even thinking.
As for the final instance mentioned later in the system’s prompts, everyone had a vague premonition, but they didn’t have the extra energy to think about it now, fearing the system would regret it if they were too late.
The Fan brothers, Fan Yi and Fan Er, also glanced at Gu Wuji and chose to leave.
These newbies shouldn’t even think about competing with a master like Gu Wuji.
Indeed, in their eyes, Gu Wuji, who had managed to create a nightmare-level instance, was far beyond their level.
Soon, only Gu Wuji remained in the arena. The other living people, those unconscious successor candidates, now seemed like just ordinary unlucky people.
Gu Wuji could feel that familiar, burning gaze coming from the oppressive water, landing directly on him, the mark on the back of his hand starting to burn. His subconscious kept warning him that the situation was dangerous, and leaving this instance was the best course of action.
But he knew he had more important things to do.
[Player Gu Wuji did not choose to leave. In that case, you will need to meet certain conditions to leave this instance.]
“What kind of conditions are there?”
[There are several conditions. For example, if the Nightmare-level boss leaves, the instance disappears, and the player naturally leaves.]
Gu Wuji nodded. It seemed that he could leave once the casino completely disappeared. Of course, he hadn’t even considered this question. If he couldn’t seal the boss into his body this time, he had no intention of leaving!
The high-level player ghost possessing Gu Wuji, Zhai Guangyu, was terrified. What on earth was going on?!
Although he had told Gu Wuji to find a high-level boss, Gu Wuji didn’t need to find such a high-level one right away! Now he was going to die here without a burial place!
Speaking of which, the ghost of Austin had disappeared before. Did that guy already know things were going badly and run away?! Damn it, he wasn’t even as quick-witted as an ordinary ghost… He should have thought of a way to escape too.
At this moment, the water level had dropped to a very low point, almost within Gu Wuji’s reach.
This body of water practically represented the evil god boss itself, and Gu Wuji roughly understood this after experiencing those dungeons.
“Wait, I think you can think about it some more.” At this critical moment, Zhai Guangyu couldn’t help but speak excitedly for his own life, “I think there might be a better way than sealing this boss, don’t be impulsive—”
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Wuji had already reached out his hand and touched the surface of the water.
