After Gu Wuji got the key in his hand, the two quickly came out of the counter.
At this time, the footsteps were getting louder and louder, and the chef had come out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand.
Everyone held their breath. Unlike Gu Wuji, Brother Wang and the others had never seen the chef's true face, and they almost trembled when they saw it.
The next moment, the chef suddenly walked in the direction of the person, and the kitchen knife in his hand was swung around with great force. The first blow landed on Sun Shi's table. Split open, shards of wood flying around.
Sun Shi's face turned pale, and he glanced at the direction to the second floor, but the way was blocked by the chef sturdy, he had no choice, and ran outside the hotel.
Brother Wang, who was chatting with the waiter next to him, was also shocked. He didn't dare to stay here and flew up to the second floor.
Peng Haocang frowned and said, "It seems that we got the key to trigger something. Oops, we have to hurry up."
But unfortunately, their way is blocked by the chef. No matter what, they will bump into each other in the process of going. Unless one sacrifices a person to stop them here, they will not be able to pass.
"You go up first and let me hold him here." Peng Haocang made a decisive decision.
"Is this okay?" Gu Wuji said.
"I have tools that can temporarily save my life." Peng Haocang said bravely, "I can still delay it. You can go upstairs to investigate the truth here as soon as possible... Only then will we have a chance."
In the incident just now, Peng Haocang noticed that Gu Wuji went to drive Brother Wang away from Sun Shi, who had been possessed by evil spirits. Instead of hating him because of this... He really didn't expect that such a good person who didn't ask for anything in return would really appear in this dungeon world, and he still lived to this day.
It is also because of this that Peng Haocang felt that he could trust Gu Wuji and was willing to stay here and hold others back.
If it were another teammate, or even a member of an organization, Peng Haocang would not have this sense of trust. Who knows if he would be killed by others all of a sudden.
"Thank you." Gu Wuji also looked solemn, "However, you don't have to do this." After speaking, he walked towards the chef.
"What? Don't count?" Peng Haocang said quickly, "Wait, don't be impulsive, although I don't know what tool you used to temporarily suppress the killing intent of these evil ghosts, but this is only a dead end—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wuji reached out and patted the chef's arm. His tone was full of familiarity, as if he was talking to some neighbor, "Thank you for your help just now."
The chef, who was originally fierce and vicious as if he was going to hack everyone to death in the next instant, just nodded and glanced at Peng Haocang again with a warning in his eyes, then turned and went back to the kitchen.
Peng Haocang was already sluggish, "???"
What, this chef is still colluding with Gu Wuji
"Actually, I'm really sorry I didn't tell you just now." Gu Wuji said apologetically: "After all, Sun Shi is there, who knows if he will do anything to hinder us when he sees us going to the third floor, so I have already asked the chef brother before."
"How on earth did you do it..."
"Maybe it's because their children play well with me, so they have a little more affection for me." Gu Wuji said with emotion: "After all, even if they are ghosts, they are a harmonious and warm family, don't use strange things. look at them."
Peng Haocang felt that his three views had been refreshed, and he always felt that Gu Wuji's words seemed wrong, but they sounded reasonable.
The two hurried across the second floor to the third floor, came to the door of the destination, Gu Wuji took out the key and successfully opened the door.
What caught my eye was a dilapidated room. Just like the staff room next to it, blood was splattered everywhere, and all the furniture fell to the ground in a mess. It was obvious that a fierce struggle had taken place here.
Peng Haocang carefully observed the surroundings, and saw Gu Wuji squatting on the ground over there, picking up a doll covered in blood.
There are many things like this doll, which were carefully prepared for the child, but these things were scattered on the ground at this time, and they were all broken, just like this family.
It can be seen from various details that before something happened, it should be a warm family with a small hotel, but until one day, everything was changed.
Gu Wuji squeezed the doll in his hand tightly.
At this moment, the innermost door was pushed open, and the old woman holding the child appeared in the sight of the two of them.
There was blood dripping down her face and neck constantly, her whole body seemed to be coming from a pool of blood, and new wounds cut by sharp weapons kept appearing on her body, and her image became more and more terrifying.
Peng Haocang's expression changed, thinking that it was not time to keep a low profile, he took out all the tools to save his life.
Gu Wuji stood up abruptly and looked at the old woman's position.
"Please tell me, what exactly happened here." Gu Wuji walked over slowly. After seeing the whole picture of the room, his face was not good-looking, and he suddenly forgot all the tasks.
He just wanted to know now who did such an evil deed.
At this point, Peng Haocang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly said to him, "According to some of the information I have received before, the old woman in this hotel is extremely dangerous, and she absolutely cannot have a head-on conflict with her. The ghost baby in her arms is a mad ghost—"
Speaking of which, Peng Haocang suddenly remembered the fun of Gu Wuji playing with this ghost baby before, and the words stuck in his throat.
Maybe he is the only one present who still cares about this kind of thing!
The old woman completely ignored Peng Haocang, she looked at Gu Wuji, then sighed, stretched out her hand, and handed over the ghost baby in her arms who had been asleep at some point in a very natural way.
Gu Wuji also took over the child skillfully, and the two people's movements were done in one go, making Peng Hao stunned.
"You are a good boy." The old woman's voice sounded, as if with some appreciation.
Then a gust of wind blew directly, and the two of them closed their eyes subconsciously. When they opened it again, the figure of the old woman had disappeared, and a piece of paper in the corner was blown out, directly facing Gu Wu Ji flew here and was caught by him.
This is a newspaper, the other parts have been torn up, and only one part is left. It says that a serial murder case has occurred in the nearby area. Please be careful of the nearby residents. The murderer is very likely to have not left.
Seeing this, anyone can understand what happened in this hotel.
In fact, the picture Gu Wuji saw in Xiaoxin's soul before, and the rough Sun Shi reflected in the mirror looked very normal, but the strange thing was that he had an extra hand on his body. It was holding a blood-stained weapon.
However, the difference was not too obvious. Xiaoxin was also frightened by the ghost baby at the time, so she didn't notice it. But when she returned to the room, she suddenly realized this.
It's just that it was too late, and she died tragically at the hands of the evil ghost.
At that time, Gu Wuji had already guessed, just because there was no evidence to support it, and the system would not admit that the task was completed, and now everything has come naturally.
"Deceiving Kangxi"
[Main quest: Investigate what happened to this hotel, which has been completed. ]
[It turned out that this used to be a board and lodging hotel run by a warm family, which often helped homeless homeless people. But a good intention led the wolf into the room, and rescued a serial killer who was wanted.
A family of four was slaughtered and dismembered. After being raped and murdered, the daughter-in-law, who was pregnant in July, opened her stomach and took out the baby. The crying ghost baby caused strong resentment, and the family of five turned into evil. The ghost eats up the murderer. ]
Peng Haocang's expression changed, which was really different from the information he got. In the news he learned, all the deaths were caused by conflicts within the family. It seems that after returning to the organization this time, we have to be careful.
Gu Wuji's expression was also difficult to look at. He didn't expect that the family had encountered such a cruel thing before. Sometimes people are scarier than ghosts.
[However, the soul of the murderer also turned into an evil spirit and lurked in your team.
Now, after killing several people, this evil ghost has broken free, just waiting to kill the last living person before turning into the most terrifying ghost! ]
[Main quest update: Leave the hotel alive. ]
After the sound of the system fell, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
The two turned their heads to look, and it was Sun Shi who appeared outside the door. No, it should be said that it was the evil spirit possessing Sun Shi.
At this time, Sun Shi's face was distorted, as if he had merged with another person. He was holding a blood-stained weapon in his hand, and his clothes had been splattered with blood.
"It seems that you already know the facts." Sun Shi sneered, "It's just too late."
Gu Wuji said, "Brother Wang was killed by you?"
"That's right." Sun Shi grinned, "That guy is very stupid. After killing him, the two of you are not my opponents at all. Now just wait for me to die."
Peng Haocang subconsciously pulled Gu Wuji back a few steps.
This guy was already such a brutal murderer when he was alive, and now he is probably not an easy guy to deal with after his death.
Moreover, all the windows in the room on the third floor were blocked, and it was impossible to jump downstairs. The only way to leave was to go out, but he was blocked in front, and there was no room for the two of them to leave at all.
Peng Haocang knew that if he wanted to leave alive at this time, his only option was to sell his teammates.
But looking at Gu Wuji next to him, Peng Haocang didn't do that. Although he can't be said to be a good person, he has used new people to work for himself in various ways, and it doesn't matter to see other people die, but... How could he possibly succeed in such a good person.
After completing several dungeons, he thought that his conscience had been wiped out, but after seeing Gu Wuji, he realized that such bad people still exist.
"Forget it." Peng Haocang sighed, "I'll hold him back later, you first—"
Speaking of which, Peng Haocang felt so familiar with it, as if he had already said it once when he was downstairs.
Peng Haocang turned his head and saw that the ghost baby in Gu Wuji's arms had opened his eyes, and the dark eyes were extremely terrifying.
Peng Haocang: "..." I guess he doesn't need to play this time, why is there a little regret
Because of the positioning problem, Sun Shi didn't see Gu Wuji still holding the ghost baby in his arms, but walked over step by step with a sneer, and played with the weapon in his hand.
"When I think of being able to slowly torture you guys to death like this, I feel very happy in my heart."
"What if those people turned into ghosts and killed me? As long as they kill you, they are still not my opponents."
"It's so ridiculous, obviously it's a ghost, but still abiding by some rules not to kill people at will, if it were me, I would have killed all of you on the first day, who can stop me when I see it ."
Sun Shi was extremely proud at this time, and said everything in his heart, with a cold smile on his distorted face, and the sharp weapon in his hand was directly chopped in the direction of the two.
The next moment, he was directly pinched by Gu Wuji's wrist, and the knife in his hand couldn't slash for a long time.
Sun Shi was stunned for a moment, but he knew how powerful he was who had turned into a ghost. What happened to this human being? Is he really still human
But before, he was afraid and didn't do it because the ghost baby still had some strange abilities. Now that he has become stronger, he doesn't need to be afraid at all.
Sun Shi reacted and immediately began to sneer, "After all, you are just a human, do you really think that your strength is better than a ghost?"
As he spoke, his face became more distorted and his neck was broken, and he was about to bite in Gu Wuji's direction when he heard Gu Wuji's voice.
"superior-"
In the next moment, the ghost baby in Gu Wuji's arms suddenly rushed to Sun Shi. The cute appearance when he was by Gu Wuji's side has disappeared, and it has become as terrifying as when it first appeared, with sharp and dense teeth. He directly bit the neck of Sun Shi in front of him.
When he took a bite like this, he directly bit down a large piece of flesh and blood, making Peng Haocang's scalp tingle when he saw it.
"Damn it!" Sun Shi didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, his eyes were full of crimson, and the other hand suddenly grabbed the ghost baby on his body.
Gu Wuji couldn't possibly let him succeed, and his body suddenly slammed into it.
If an ordinary person were to hit him, it is estimated that nothing would happen to Sun Shi, but after Gu Wuji's strength hit him like this, it was like being hit by a small car, causing Sun Shi, the evil ghost, to stumble and move. At the moment of pause, the ghost baby had already tore off several bites of flesh and blood from him, and the resentment on his body became stronger and stronger.
Sun Shi reluctantly wanted to grab the ghost baby on his body and kill it, but at this moment, several people suddenly appeared around.
The ghosts in the hotel emerged one by one, looking terrifying, and the traces of the stitches on their bodies were obvious to the extreme. Not only the old lady of the shop owner and the chef and his wife, but also the three waiters were all passersby who were innocently killed by the murderer, and now all of them appear at this time.
"What are you, what are you trying to do?!" A look of panic suddenly appeared on Sun Shi's face, making his face even more distorted, "Get out of here!"
The expressions of these ghosts looking at Sun Shi were full of resentment. How could they miss the opportunity to take revenge and bite directly at Sun Shi's body, and the screams continued to sound for a while.
Just listening to the sound that makes one's scalp tingle, one can fully imagine how much pain this evil ghost, who can do all kinds of evil, whether in life or after death, is going through this time.
"Let's leave." Peng Haocang said quickly, he was worried that after Sun Shi was completely swallowed, it would be them who would be killed by these ghosts.
Gu Wuji nodded, turned to look at the ghosts, and walked downstairs with Peng Haocang.
"But I really didn't expect things to be so simple." Peng Haocang thought he was about to die.
In fact, if the ghosts such as ghost babies and shopkeepers are not favored in the dungeon, even if the truth is discovered at the end, other ghosts will not appear, and the player can only play the escape game with the ghost of the murderer.
And if by chance, one or two ghosts are favored, the task will be much easier.
But someone like Gu Wuji who has brushed the goodwill of other people's families is probably never seen before. It really makes the final level surprisingly easy in an instant.
Peng Haocang really remembered what happened in the dungeon now, and felt that it was an amazing operation to ignore it.
The two came to the door of the hotel smoothly, and at this time, in the fog outside, a road to leave appeared in front of them.
"I have to say goodbye here." Peng Haocang said to Gu Wuji, "Actually, what I said before was a lie to you. Even if I saw it in the dungeon world, my memory would become blurred after I left. I can't remember who I am with."
Although he felt that people like Gu Wuji should have noticed it long ago.
"Is that so..." Gu Wuji suddenly realized, no wonder Ren Hui from the first dungeon world didn't contact him after he went out.
Peng Haocang: "..." I don't know if this is really or acting!
Peng Haocang had given up thinking about this issue, he hesitated for a while, but still took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Gu Wuji, "This is a special prop paper that can bring news out of the world of copies, and it's me. If you encounter anything, you can contact me."
"Okay." Gu Wuji nodded.
"Also, I'm actually a member of an organization." Peng Haocang said, "When I first came to this dungeon, I just wanted to kill you to get your skills... But I didn't do it in the end, whether it's our organization or something else in the future. Everyone may have any thoughts about you, in short, you should be careful."
Although Peng Haocang thought about what had just happened, he felt that it might be better for those who want to target those who have no idea what to do with themselves. Gu Wuji's copy came down very vividly.
After saying these words, Peng Haocang felt a lot relieved and left in a hurry.
Gu Wuji finally looked back at the haunted hotel. At this time, in the light of the day, it seems to be much more peaceful and quiet.
"Goodbye," he muttered to himself, and turned to leave.
He was not originally from this dungeon world, and now that the murderer's matter has been resolved, the ghosts of this family should be able to live a peaceful life.
On the third floor, a figure was staring at Gu Wuji's back, whose figure slowly disappeared at the end of the path.
In the dim light, it could be seen that he was already a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, and his delicate appearance always gave people an indescribable sense of strangeness.
This is the ghost baby who gained strength and grew up after biting Sun Shi.
He stared at Gu Wuji's back and said softly, "We will definitely meet again."
