Chapter 87: To care for these ghosts as if they were our companions
Chapter 87: To care for these ghosts as if they were our companions
What exactly is this place? Will there be any danger in the past? What will happen if you open this coffin.
Such ordinary time will produce thoughts, at this time completely absent in Wuji Gu's mind, he just slowly reached out his hand, want to open the coffin.
But the moment his hand touched the surface of the coffin, a rune invisible to the naked eye suddenly flashed on the back of Wuji Gu's hand, and an indescribable pain struck him, and Wuji Gu's eyes snapped open and he woke up from his dream.
"What was that, was I dreaming again?" Even Wuji Gu, cold sweat was faintly trickling down his forehead.
He also found that, as if he did not know when to start, every time he was in the copy will have some strange dreams, and are extremely dangerous, a little carelessness will be the life of the dream.
But considering that this is a paranormal copy, it's a very common thing, and maybe everyone dreams about it. In a way it also provided some clues that he didn't usually investigate.
Had it not been for the sudden ...... Wuji Gu lines on his hand, he would not have expected the mark of the evil god, which used to be a life-threatening presence, to save him in such a copy.
"It's probably a setting where the villainous boss of the psychic copy is incompatible or something."
Thinking of the hall in the dream, Wuji Gu is absolutely sure that this is the place where the castle will appear, and the coffin that brings a feeling of great fear, and this copy is inextricably linked.
"It seems I should investigate after all."
Wuji Gu thought to himself, when two ghosts came back through the door, and they were the two that Wuji Gu had sent to the castle to investigate.
As soon as they entered the door, the female ghost attached to Wuji Gu emitted a terrifying aura. The two ghosts fell to their knees in front of Wuji Gu as they watched the aura of resentment materialize behind him.
Wuji Gu hurriedly said, "These two ghosts are my people, and they mean no harm."
The ghost's murderous aura disappeared, and the room was calm again. Now the ghost's obsession is on Wuji Gu to complete, how can she tolerate other ghosts to do something to Wuji Gu.
When the two ghosts saw this, they were even more afraid of Wuji Gu.
They only went out to investigate for one night, Wuji Gu actually really took the ghosts here for their own use, how scary is this person! Fortunately, they have long been wise to abandon the darkness to the light, otherwise they would have been killed by him in a minute.
By the way the two ghosts also completely put down the idea that they still want to hide some information, they do not dare to guarantee that they say things that the female ghost is clear, have said what they have investigated.
"Many parts of this castle are guarded by ghosts, and they are all controlled ghosts that have no sanity and only know how to attack, so it is difficult for us to enter. So only some roads outside were scouted."
"What is certain is that most of the servants and kitchen staff are just ordinary people who are very cautious and none of them will leave the first floor without a fight."
"Did you guys go upstairs to check it out?" Wuji Gu inquired, after all, the female ghost could not leave this floor alone.
"Of course not." Both ghosts look like they are trembling, "This upstairs carries an extremely frightening aura, there must be something very dangerous there, and there are many existences of amazing strength, you'd better never go up there either ......"
Wuji Gu nodded his head, his heart was already sure that the hall he saw in his dream last night was definitely located on the second floor.
"So you guys went out all night and didn't find out anything else?"
These two ghosts look Wuji Gu such a look obviously understand what, and the very clear eyes, the heart is more nervous, feel that everything they are seen through, is not dare to have the slightest hidden.
"I, we, found an entrance to the dungeon in the garden!"
"That dungeon should be the place where the prisoners were once held, now there is nothing but a lot of ghosts who have lost their consciousness. And the dungeon even has a dark tunnel for the outside world, which should be a back way left by the people who built the castle in the first place ...... Just we felt ourselves being hindered by something halfway through and couldn't get out at all."
Otherwise they would have run away and come back honestly. This castle is full of crises, it is better to stay with Wuji Gu to make people feel safe.
Wuji Gu certainly remembers the drawing he got, and the dark passage on it is indeed also in the location of the dungeon.
He heard here can't help but think deeply, it seems to want to leave casually from the dark tunnel is not so easy, there is a high probability that there is a barrier or something inside, maybe only after solving the boss of the copy or something to be able to unlock that barrier.
"Okay, this is really hard work for you guys, just come back first." Wuji Gu said.
The two ghosts saw Wuji Gu like this and felt that he was unpredictable, then they shook their heads repeatedly and fear appeared on their faces, apparently not daring to attach themselves to Wuji Gu together with the female ghost.
Wuji Gu had to open the box, "Then you will have to come in here ...... of course this time I will let Huang Da be gentle with you."
Two ghosts: "......"
What the hell is this terrible situation of having a wolf in front and a tiger at the back!
In the end they still chose to enter the box Wuji Gu used to hold the ghosts after a difficult choice. At least it's only a little scary, not enough to get killed directly by the female ghost.
............
......
And in a hall somewhere in the castle guarded by several people, the crowd was already cold and sweaty, as if they had walked on the line of life and death.
They clearly felt that the pitch-black coffin they were guarding came close to breaking the seal in just a moment.
"Quickly report to the Lord of Lords, there is no more time!"
"The ceremony must be performed quickly, or else ......"
That existence will surely awaken. At that time, everything will not be so simple.
-----
It was already dawn, and the players gathered in the hall, all thoughtfully eating the breakfast brought by the servants in the castle.
When Wuji Gu went forward, it was easy to notice that there was one person missing from the male side, one of the two male players who had been stunned in the casino earlier.
The whole atmosphere of the hall is very heavy, those female players look at Wuji Gu's eyes with amazement, after learning the situation on the male players' side, they feel more and more the amazing strength of this Meng Meng, in the end how to survive from the situation like yesterday.
You should know that after dawn they came out of the room and saw that the corridor could be full of blood, just like a murder scene, but actually no one died.
Wuji Gu naturally took the seat opposite Yuanzhou Lu and learned from them what happened yesterday.
A similar thing happened in the male player's side of the dorm, and when it happened, the unlucky male player chosen by the ghost escaped by props and then tried to break into the other players' rooms to find a scapegoat.
But unfortunately he chose Yuanzhou Lu's room, not even able to push the door open, was killed by the ghost at the door, only after a scream that woke up everyone, the whole person has died without a body, leaving only a puddle of blood at the door.
Yuanzhou Lu Although also not very concerned about such things, but the other party even died right at his doorstep, always let him feel that the underworld foretold something ...... After all, this is the system arranged to him inescapable copy, absolutely can not be underestimated.
Li Li was very excited and ran over to sit beside Wuji Gu and said, "Meng Meng, yesterday was thanks to you, otherwise I might have died here."
Wuji Gu said, "It's not that hard, I'm lucky, that female ghost is quite nice to get along with."
The surrounding people heard his words, of course, the heart is not believe, see the male player's death will know that here the ghost of the terrifying, this Meng Meng is certainly also to make every effort to escape a disaster, just others are not willing to say their killer is also a very normal thing.
Yuanzhou Lu was probably the only one in the group who believed it right away, after all, he had seen with his own eyes how Wuji Gu had tossed those ghosts in the previous copies, and his mind was immediately settled.
The group just ate their breakfast absentmindedly, only Wuji Gu ate very well.
A certain player tentatively asked the servant next to him what the arrangements were afterwards, after all, the most dreadful banquet for them would not take place until tonight, before which there was perfectly more time to explore around the castle.
The servant immediately said that they just had to wait here until the banquet started in the evening and could not go out rashly, and that the range of action was in a small area around here so as not to disturb the other distinguished guests who came.
The crowd then realized that since it was a banquet, there would definitely be other guests ...... but according to what the system had said before about the introduction, the so-called honored guests that would appear at this banquet were all estimated not to be human.
They feel even more sense of crisis, in this case who will honestly stay, the heart have been thinking about how to mix out ideas later, anyway, these players are not really going to sit here and wait for the ordinary people.
At the end of the meal, the crowd immediately left the hall, the servant seemed to see their thoughts and once again cautioned, "This castle is very dangerous, if you touch certain taboos, you will not be able to leave alive."
In fact there was supposed to be someone here to watch over these players, but it seems that something happened last night and everyone has been mobilized.
Where will the crowd take this nonsense to heart, have explored around this, only they also know the danger of this place, everyone's vigilance reached the extreme.
Wuji Gu wanted to help the ghost find her companion, but she said she couldn't feel where she was yet, so he had to look through the diary Li Li gave him yesterday.
As for Yuanzhou Lu and Lv Xiao, they both stayed behind, ready to join Wuji Gu. Li Li, on the other hand, said something and left with his female followers, seemingly having other things he wanted to investigate.
The owner of this book is obviously a very reliable servant, but he also has many secrets about the castle that he can't help but confide in others, and finally had to write them down in this diary.
It was clearly written certain weird things about the castle. For example, the second floor can only be entered during the day, and the third floor and up that is where they, the ordinary servants, can never enter.
Even the second floor to them to clean the time is only a short one hour, the time to come out immediately, otherwise you will be punished ......
"It seems that there will definitely be problems on this second floor, and you should die after staying up there for more than an hour." Yuanzhou Lu said indifferently.
"But the banquet is held on the second floor, and we are going to stay up there all night then." Lv Xiao is already white in the face, he experienced the tragic death of that male player last night, the whole person is gutted, and still has not slowed down.
"That's why we now have to find out how to survive when the time comes." Wuji Gu read several more pages and noticed a place mentioned above this diary.
It is mentioned that on the first floor there is a separate staircase leading to a library on the second floor, which contains certain documents that have been recorded in this castle over the years. But the strange thing is that the castle did not send anyone to guard it, nor even let anyone go over to clean it.
The owner of the diary also learned by chance that there is a library, the only thing known is that the bodies of those who have gone in the next day will appear in the garden, both eyes were gouged out, the death is extremely miserable.
Adhering to the concept of never dying, the owner of the diary did not even bother to read it.
"It seems that this place should be important and probably has what we are looking for." Wuji Gu had an idea right away, "Let's go there and take a look."
Lv Xiao is already scared to death, but still agrees on this matter.
Who thought, Wuji Gu and turned several pages, "Well, here can not go, here is also a forbidden place ...... this place to go will also die ...... we will all go to these places to see well. "
Lv Xiao : "?"
Yuanzhou Lu looked at Wuji Gu with eyes full of admiration, as if to say that the person in front of him was worthy of being his good brother or something like that.
............
......
Several people left from the hall. And not far away, several people appeared at the back corner, led by none other than a young man who looked much more imposing than the people around him, with a face too pale to be human.
" Lord Laien Bu, is this really good? Making a move on the sacrifice before the banquet ...... Lord Lord will definitely be angry when he finds out." The handlers hurriedly said.
"What's the point." The young man named Laien Bu snickered: "As a blood race, am I not qualified to enjoy the sacrifice in advance? Not to mention ......" his eyes fell on Wuji Gu's back, "This sacrifice still looks very good, it's too wasteful to be killed directly, why not let me enjoy it first."
The surrounding men listened with trepidation, but there was nothing they could do with their master.
Although it is said that the general blood race are not interested in humans, think that humans are more lowly existence than their own, but this Laien Bu but taste is different, especially like to play with humans before killing.
Usually on other human beings also even if, but now it is to attend the banquet, but the banquet offerings are to do such things ...... but rely on Laien Bu's identity, even if they are found, he also has the certainty that others will not do anything to themselves, which is so emboldened.
The others couldn't help but sigh. Originally, their master was also all slipped out, who knows what seems to have happened last night ...... lord called the others to discuss, actually let their master have this opportunity to run to the place where the sacrifices are.
............
......
The castle is incomparably dark even during the day, surrounded by tightly drawn curtains, as if afraid of a trace of sunlight leaking in, the interior is completely illuminated by oil lamps.
It's a waste, but considering that the owner of the castle may be a vampire, it makes sense that it still makes sense.
Even when they carefully pulled open the curtains to look outside, all they saw was grey and gloomy weather and a dead garden with plants swaying in the middle of the gale.
"They don't even need to pull the curtains even in this weather, right?" Lv Xiao couldn't help but say, "If the villain of this copy is so afraid of the sun, can't we think of something?"
"But the banquet is held in the evening time." Yuanzhou Lu shook his head, "This method is probably not going to work."
Several people said that they had come to a door that was recorded in the diary as inaccessible. It is said that this was once a miscellaneous room where a servant died violently and inexplicably while cleaning inside, and since then no one else has been allowed to enter at will.
Wuji Gu released the two male ghosts and said in a cordial tone, "I think you should still be quite eager to see your fellow countrymen, so you should go in first and take a look."
Male Ghost: "!?" What's a compatriot! It's not like they're close as long as they're ghosts!
But they have been tamed by Wuji Gu submissive, where have the courage to dare to resist, had to enter the room.
Lv Xiao was confused, "What is this?"
"It's the ghost we met at the casino." Wuji Gu's thoughtful reply.
"I know, but how did this ghost appear here!" Lv Xiao the whole person is dumbfounded, "and also, so ......" so honest!
"After all, they are actually good by nature." Wuji Gu opened his mouth and spoke.
Lv Xiao still seems to understand.
The next instant, two anxious ghosts suddenly rushed out from the house, followed by an aggressive and unhinged ghost, as soon as they saw the humans, they immediately attacked towards the most forward Wuji Gu.
But before it can touch Wuji Gu, the female ghost in Wuji Gu's body has already fixed it.
In the moment when the ghost was frozen, Wuji Gu noticed that it was a low-level ghost with no sanity, and purified it in the process.
To the uninitiated, the ghost disappears the moment it touches Wuji Gu, while Wuji Gu himself is still standing there unharmed.
Lv Xiao : "......!" Damn Mengmeng sister is also too strong!
Yuanzhou Lu was aware of something, but Wuji Gu himself did not say what the problem was, so he did not care, anyway, Wuji Gu must know very well what he was doing.
The two ghosts did not breathe a sigh of relief, and said that they did not mean to pit Wuji Gu, the monster was too scary for them to deal with and so on, fearing that Wuji Gu would have something to say about them.
"Of course I believe in you." Wuji Gu's attitude is very easy-going, and again to Lv Xiao said, "We can not look at them with different eyes, we have to care for them as if they were our companions, so that they can feel the warmth of spring ...... Only in this way can they melt the cold ice inside. "
Lv Xiao didn't even know exactly what Wuji Gu was talking about, but that didn't stop him from looking at Wuji Gu with admiration, "You're worthy of being Meng Meng! That's how you can get along with the spirits!"
Two ghosts: "......" why they do not feel any spring-like warmth ah!
Wuji Gu immediately pushed the door open, "Well, let's go in now and take a look."
The Blood Laien Bu and his men, who were hiding in the back, of course, noticed the scene.
"This time, the offering seems to be not simple." Laien Bu couldn't help but open his mouth, with a strong interest already in his eyes.
" Lord Laien Bu, we'd better forget it! This person is actually able to purify the soul, must be the most important sacrifice specially prepared by the lord of the lord, maybe all related to that ritual, if we lay hands on her, maybe ......"
"What do you know, that's what makes the sacrifice perfect! Of course I have to be the first to enjoy it." Laien Bu's tone with a bit of mockery, "anyway, the lord certainly can not only prepare a sacrifice to deal with this ceremony, right, if the ceremony fails, he probably will not be able to keep the position in."
"The point is that this human, may not be so good ......" the men also tried to convince him.
"That's true." Laien Bu nodded and actually really thought about it, "Didn't they prepare to go to the library in this castle before? Why don't we just ambush there and set up some means ...... They are definitely defenseless."
"But Lord Laien Bu, the library is a forbidden place in this castle, the lord must know ......" these men are simply going to cry.
They are very clear, the previous lord is even, now the newly appointed lord is not so casual, the other party is far from hanging their master regardless of strength or status. If the master is angry with him that is certainly very difficult to end ......
But they also knew that if they said something like that, it would definitely provoke Laien Bu's rebellion and they had to try to convince him from other angles.
"Am I your master or is the lord your master?" Laien Bu coldly spoke, "Just do as I say and do it honestly!"
............
......
Wuji Gu into the utility room, several people immediately rummage in the utility room.
Surprisingly, he actually found something important in this utility room.
That turned out to be the topographical map of this castle, which also marked some of the dangers in the castle ...... This topographical map is only a small part of the drawing, it is clear that the person who drew it has met with misfortune without finishing it.
But even so, the above is also very clearly drawn about the location of the storeroom is located, but also a few handwritten investigation out of things show that the storeroom in the end how dangerous.
The person in question did not go into the cache, but knows that there were several real guests invited by the lord who were not sacrifices and were not heard from after entering the cache without permission ...... These guests are not ordinary people, but are considered inhuman creatures of this world's werewolf vampire category.
Several people's expressions have changed a bit.
"It's really bad, I didn't expect this hidden room to be so dangerous ...... Luckily we got this in advance, otherwise we would definitely die in nine lives if we went in rashly." Lv Xiao cold sweat stained said.
"Yes." Yuanzhou Lu also looked grave, "It seems that this copy is really to be taken seriously, otherwise how they die do not know, but even vampires can not keep alive, we may be able to learn from it to extremely important things."
"Fortunately, no one else should get in except us."
............
......
At the same time, Laien Bu and his subordinates had arrived outside the library, the men pushed the door open, they immediately felt a bone-chilling chill towards themselves, and vaguely felt a sense of fear.
But like the ghosts, for the blood who think they have a noble blood, it is just a lowly existence, it is reasonable that they will not have a trace of fear.
" Laien Bu Sir, this, always feel dangerous ......"
"What is there to be afraid of, at most it is just some ghosts, if this is afraid, then simply do not mix in my place!"
So Laien Bu also drove his men, who had apparently become disillusioned, into the library.
After they entered the collection room, they did not notice that the door behind them was like being pushed hard and closed, and a dark shadow appeared behind several of them.
