Gu Wuji was a little surprised, why did it seem like he just left? Brother Zheng and the others all looked at him with a lot of enthusiasm, as if they had been friends for a long time.
"You're finally back." Auston looked at Gu Wuji, obviously having lingering fears about what happened just now, "Don't leave me next time, these guys are not reliable at all, let them follow me all the time. It's cumbersome."
Auston also looked at Brother Zheng and the others with dissatisfaction, "When you get off the boat, wait for you to be fired!"
Brother Zheng and the others are just players, and they have no guilt at all for not fulfilling their bodyguard duties just now. After all, it's not like everyone is careless.

Even Brother Zheng felt lucky. If they performed very well, wouldn't they have to be named by this Young Master Auston to follow? I don't know how much trouble will happen.
"Of course there is no problem, of course I will protect you." Gu Wuji nodded, although the bodyguard was only an identity assigned to him by the system, he has always been a very professional person.
Looking at the banquet scene again, Auston looked disappointed and snorted: "If something like this happens, I don't want to stay any longer."
Of course other people also had such thoughts, but the clues were still there... They immediately looked at Gu Wuji and Jiang Ling, and Gu Wuji nodded to them, indicating that they had already got the clue.
Brother Zheng and others immediately agreed with Auston's words, "I think Master Auston said it well, let's leave quickly."
"Yeah, such an unpretentious banquet is not worthy of Master Auston's standard."
Originally, they came here to look for clues, but now it seems that Gu Wuji has found clues from the captain, so they don't need to stay in this haunted hall.
But just when everyone wanted to leave, the hull suddenly shook violently, and the door was suddenly closed.
"What, what's going on?"
They looked at the outside world through the huge glass floor-to-ceiling windows next to them, and saw that the previously calm sea was suddenly turbulent, and the huge waves kept hitting the deck, causing the whole ship to shake.
Fortunately, the door and glass here are still strong enough, but if you go out at this time, even if you are not killed by a ghost, you will be swept away by the waves!
Everyone gasped, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. They turned around and saw that there were several people with distorted shapes coming up.
It was a few slender women, wearing exquisite and beautiful dresses, but their bodies seemed to be crushed by something heavy, and some limbs were twisted unnaturally, and their originally beautiful faces were now It was even more stained with blood, and when he smiled, the corners of his mouth cracked to the roots of his ears.
From the attitude of the attentive passers-by around, it can be seen that when they were still alive, they should have been popular ladies or something, but no matter what happened at the time, now they are just ghosts in their eyes!
"Master Auston, there is a dance to come, don't leave so soon." A female ghost voice sounded, her voice was hoarse and harsh, making people tinnitus.
"That's right, no matter what, you have to dance with one of us today. I don't think Master Auston will give us this little face." Another female ghost laughed.
There is also a tendency that if Auston doesn't agree, they will get entangled... Of course, if it's just an ordinary girl, of course there's no problem, but the problem is that these few ghosts are clearly hideous!
Everyone took a deep breath, feeling that this young master of Auston had a very short life. Even if he didn't die, all kinds of troubles would come to him. Now it's just a banquet, and he's faced a life-and-death crisis twice. These players are also prone to danger.
"It's really troublesome..." Auston's face was a little bored. Obviously, he was also impatient with these female ghosts, but one of them was the daughter of their family partner's partner, and it wouldn't be good if he offended the other party here.
Although Auston is a playboy, he is also measured and knows that his actions in the outside world cannot have any impact on the family.
Seeing that the female ghost was about to come up, he opened his bloody mouth, and saw that he could swallow Auston in one bite. Everyone else took a few steps back in fear, and their eyes fell on Gu Wuji unconsciously.
At such a time, the only one who can come out to save people is Gu Wuji!
However, even if Gu Wuji stepped forward and sacrificed himself to dance with a female ghost this time, it would be useless, there are so many female ghosts waiting here!
And it is absolutely impossible for them to go out and dance with any ghost! Auston this time seems to be no matter what...
"Ladies, I'm sorry." Gu Wuji finally stood up and said, grabbing Auston's hand and saying, "This time, Master Auston is going to dance with me, so I can only do it. I'm sorry to everyone."
Gu Wuji's tone of voice can be said to be extremely sincere, and his sincere eyes vaguely reveal some complicated feelings for Auston, no matter how you look at it, it is not a play.
Of course, this is just the professional qualities of an actor.
The players were stunned: "..."
Female ghosts: "..."
The other players were shocked at first, but then they realized it. This is Gu Wuji's strategy to save Auston! Because Gu Wuji's acting is so good, they almost thought that the other party really fell in love with this male NPC...
Even Jiang Ling and others, who were also players, were almost deceived by Gu Wuji, let alone those female ghosts, who suddenly showed embarrassing smiles.
God knows how Brother Zheng and the others could see the embarrassment on the terrifying face of the female ghost.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Master Auston to... Then we won't disturb you." The female ghosts retreated one after another. I didn't expect that Master Auston had a problem with his sexual orientation, so of course they didn't care about him any more. Interested.
Seeing such a situation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and began to admire Gu Wuji's wit. They actually thought of such a method to persuade these female ghosts without sacrificing themselves. Now the problem should be solved, right
However, when their eyes fell on Master Auston's face, the smiles suddenly froze.
Auston's handsome appearance, who had always had a mighty and arrogant expression all along, was now, how to describe it... He was actually, sorry! He also looked at Gu Wuji with a subtle expression, "I didn't expect that you would actually treat me..."
Everyone: "...!!"
Come on, this, what is this expansion.
Although they have heard about it on the player forum, some powerful characters can even get all kinds of information by maxing out the NPC's favorability, but it's the first time to see it directly on the scene like this!
And don't say anything about Auston, if they were rescued by such a handsome person in various ways, they would probably be heartbroken... Of course, their sexual orientation is very normal, it's just the suspension bridge effect and the other party's appearance is really extraordinary s reason.
It's amazing. For a while, Brother Zheng and several people had suspected that Gu Wuji was actually the kind of cheating boss mentioned in the forum, who went to this dungeon to play casually.
Gu Wuji was stunned when he saw the other party's reaction. He began to wonder if his acting skills were really that strong? It actually made Auston directly think that he was interested in him.
Gu Wuji wanted to explain directly, but he noticed that there were many gloomy eyes looking around here. If he made an explanation, it might attract the attention of those ghosts.
He had no choice but to not explain for the time being, but Gu Wuji avoided Auston's question, hoping that the other party could understand the hint in his words, "Master Auston, would you like to dance with me?"
"Of course there's nothing wrong with that," Auston said, unusually shy, and then spoke in an arrogant tone to cover up, "But I think you shouldn't be able to dance, and I'll guide you well, so you can't lose it. my face."
Afterwards, the lights in the hall dimmed, melodious music sounded, and other dining tables and other sundries were also removed one after another. A dance party was really going to be held here.
The creepy thing is that the staff around who are pulling musical instruments are no longer human, but a few skeletons.
The music played by the skeletons was extremely eerie, and it was far more terrifying than the haunted house soundtracks they had heard in reality in the past.
Even at this time, the wind and waves outside became stronger, hitting the hull and making a disturbing sound.
Originally, Brother Zheng and the others just wanted to hide in the corner and wait for the dance to end, but standing beside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, they suddenly heard a tingling sound from something rubbing against the glass behind them.
After a few people turned their heads, they saw a corpse covered with water appearing outside the glass window, the whole body was tightly attached to it, the swollen face was close at hand, and the sharp nails were still holding the glass. windows and doors.
"Damn it!" "What are these!"
"They crawled out of the water? What the hell is going on in this place—"
Everyone was so scared that their souls were flying. They couldn't believe the quality of the glass. They could only bite the bullet and enter the middle of the hall. The ghosts looked over with a look of alienation.
"Looks like you have to dance."
It happened that there were only four of them left, and they couldn't take care of that much. A few of them bravely danced together. At this time, the gazes of the surrounding ghosts disappeared.
At the same time, they were all glad that they had not left the banquet scene before. Although there are many ghosts in this hall, at least the surface is still calm. If people are outside, it is estimated that they have died without a whole body! Sure enough, this banquet is an indispensable part of this dungeon.
Over there, Auston and Gu Wuji entered the dance floor together, still holding some beautiful fantasies in their hearts, but soon, most of his originally charming thoughts disappeared.
There is only one reason, that is, Gu Wuji really doesn't know how to dance and keeps stepping on each other's feet. Fortunately, Gu Wuji didn't use much energy now, otherwise Master Auston's foot would be abolished.
As a spoiled rich young master, when did Auston suffer such grievances? He wanted to attack several times, but after seeing Gu Wuji's innocent expression, he held back and told himself that this kind of thing was normal.
In fact, Gu Wuji didn't put his mind to dancing at all. Instead, he observed the surroundings and outside the glass floor-to-ceiling windows. He kept thinking about the things in his previous dreams. He looked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows. It felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him all the time.
If the dream is real, the eyes that have been watching her come from this deep sea...
Gu Wuji forcibly turned his eyes away and stopped looking out.
As for the hall, the captain's figure has long disappeared, and I don't know where it went. As far as the eye can see, only the unaware living and the dead dance together to the strange music.
It was as if everyone except their few players were immersed in a dream.
In a trance, Gu Wuji's eyes flashed, seeing that everything around him suddenly brightened, and the ghosts dancing around became ordinary people, and those faces were very familiar, exactly those who had bumped into the boat. There were even guests who had been transformed into ghosts beyond recognition.
Holding his hands tightly, Gu Wuji suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Who is dancing with him now
Obviously there shouldn't be such doubts, but his intuition was extremely strong at this moment, and he knew he had to see it.
But at this moment, his body seemed to be refusing to obey his own orders, and it was extremely difficult to just turn his eyes away from ordinary things, just when he was finally about to look at that person—
The lines on his arm suddenly became hot, and Gu Wuji's consciousness was suddenly pulled back.
His face suddenly turned pale, he only felt that the dream just now had consumed too much of his strength, and when he raised his head to look at the opposite side, he could only see Auston's face.
Gu Wuji couldn't help but think, "What's going on, what the hell did I just see?"
According to common sense, it is a picture that cannot appear on this ship now. Although it is not a problem to be an illusion created by a ghost... But his intuition thinks that the illusion he sees will not be such an inexplicable thing, it must be What is the instruction.
Looking at the other players around, they were all dancing stiffly with distorted faces, especially Brother Zheng and Jiang Ling who were forced to dance together, their faces were extremely ugly, but in order to survive, they could only dance hard...
It seems that other people have not seen the hallucination just now.
Gu Wuji suddenly remembered that he had been unable to use the ghost control to summon the surrounding ghosts on this ship, and then looked at the outside world. At this time, the wind and waves outside were much calmer, and even the corpses outside the glass window had completely disappeared, as if the previous The picture is that they are dreaming.
At this moment, he suddenly saw something.
"Master Oster, I have something to do, let's go first." Gu Wuji said.
"Eh? Huh? Wait, you..." Before Auston could react, Gu Wuji released his hand and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Auston, who was left behind, looked down at his released hand and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
No one saw, a blood-colored pattern appeared on one of his eyes.
…
"You, you don't come here!"
Jack was standing on the edge of the deck, his face was very ugly, his body couldn't help but back up a few steps and hit the railing directly.
He has no way out.
Standing in front of him were two monsters. Although they could vaguely see human shapes, and their figures were still the same as those of the previous two bodyguards, they could no longer be described as human beings! It's like you just crawled out of a horror movie...
God knows what's going on. Jack was still scolding the two bodyguards in the room before, but the boat swayed for a while, and when he stood firm, the two bodyguards suddenly changed dramatically, becoming the terrifying monster image they are now!
Of course Jack ran out in fright, but no matter how much he called for help, no one came out, and now he was forced to retreat to such a place by the monster.
"How could this be, what do you want to do, I'm your employer! You can't do it to me!" Cold sweat continued to flow down Jack's face.
At this moment, a monster suddenly stepped forward, and the corrosive liquid in its mouth dripped directly in front of Jack, so scared that he suddenly closed his eyes and heard the crisp sound of fractures.
Jack opened one eye and saw that the arm of the monster in front of him had been broken, and a slender figure had pushed his body to the ground, unable to move at all, he could only roar.
The only remaining instinct of the other monster noticed that something was wrong, and left here without thinking.
Gu Wuji was relieved when he looked at the monster that he had knocked down. In fact, when he just saw this place, he wasn't too sure about it.
Since he was a child, his strength has been superhuman, and I don't know if it is because of his physique that often hits ghosts. In short, it is quite convenient to use. It also makes some classmates in the class unable to bully because they think he is weird. operation comes.
But in the past, Gu Wuji's strength was much greater than that of ordinary people, but after entering this so-called infinite horror world, he found that his strength actually increased again, and now it looks extremely amazing.
Gu Wuji thought of the ghost control ability that he had obtained before, these dungeons should also be able to obtain similar power-boosting abilities...
Of course, the reason why this monster can be solved so quickly is mainly because the ghost control technique also helped a part of it, but when using the ghost control ability, Gu Wuji can clearly feel that there is another kind of strange power Competing with him makes him unable to completely restrain these low-level ghosts.
After seeing Gu Wuji, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about what kind of luck Auston had to have to hire such a bodyguard! He was much more reliable than his two bodyguards who had turned into monsters. He immediately said with a stable mood, "How much did Auston pay for you! I'll pay twice!"
"No need." Gu Wuji said casually, he originally came out to save people just by the way, in fact, it was to verify one thing.
Looking down at the monster in front of him, Gu Wuji's palm emits a faint light that ordinary people can't see. This is the purification technique he bought with 1,000 points before.
It stands to reason that this purification technique can directly purify low-level ghosts without sanity.
But under the light, the monster just struggled more intensely. Except for the extreme pain, there was no trace of purification.
"System, why is this?"
[Because the resentment on this ghost has not been lifted and cannot be purified. ]
"But it's just a lowly ghost, isn't it?"
The system did not reply any more.
Hearing this, Gu Wuji already had an idea in his heart.
Now that he has completed his own verification, Gu Wuji let go of the monster, and the monster struggled to run away.
Although it looks like a monster, it is actually a ghost, and Gu Wuji can't really do anything lethal to them, so it can only be handled like this.
"What's the matter!" Jack immediately looked at Gu Wuji dissatisfiedly, "How can you let this guy go, what if they come back to take revenge on me!"
Gu Wuji glanced at Jack, and suddenly realized something, stepped forward quickly, with a persecution in his tone, "Why can you suddenly see their true appearance?"
"Why why? I just saw it." Jack snorted coldly, suddenly realizing something, "As expected, you discovered it long ago! You never said it... You guys don't care about my life or death! Damn it, now you Be sure to keep me safe!"
Gu Wuji saw Jack like this and knew that he didn't know anything.
Is it because of the unexpected storm just now? It was because the restraint on ghosts in this place was loosened step by step that ordinary NPCs in it also noticed the existence of ghosts.
But no matter what, Gu Wuji didn't have the leisure to take care of this guy's life and death, so he turned around and left, "I'm not your bodyguard, what can I do, you can find a way to solve it yourself."
"Damn it!" Jack was furious behind, but he didn't dare to stay on the deck alone, and ran in the direction where Gu Wuji left.
It's just that the lights around him are dimmed at this time, and he can't find anyone for a long time. He wants to call Gu Wuji again, but Gu Wuji has no shadow.
"What's the matter, this broken cruise ship." Jack couldn't help scolding, turning his head to look aside, this is a shop selling luxury clothing during the day, but at night, it is dark inside, not even a little light. , with an indescribable weirdness.
"Damn... how could such a thing happen..."
Jack subconsciously raised it, but at this time he saw a crew member approaching at the corner ahead, with a flashlight in his hand, as if he was patrolling the ship.
"Finally someone." Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly ran over, "What's going on, you wrecked ship in the end—"
After seeing the crew member's face clearly, his face was already full of fear, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word anymore.
…
The banquet is finally over.
The moment the door opened, Brother Zheng and others rushed out impatiently. Only Jiang Ling remembered to stare at Auston, lest the employer encounter any danger.
They just bumped into Gu Wuji who came back in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Gu Wuji actually rushed out just now. This is too courageous. They actually saw it, but they didn't have the courage to run with each other.
If it were an ordinary person, running out at that time would be to find death! But if it's a no-brainer... they all feel very reliable for a while.
But because Auston was next to him, others couldn't ask what happened.
"What's the matter, where did you just go?" Auston didn't seem to be in a good mood, and hummed when he saw Gu Wuji.
"Master Auston, I'm very sorry, I just came out because of something." Gu Wuji still knew why the other party was angry, and immediately apologized: "I will definitely stay by your side next time."
"It's almost the same!" Auston looked at him with a bit of gnashing of teeth, "You are the bodyguard I hired with a high salary. If you don't protect me, do you want to protect anyone?"
Everyone else closed their mouths. It was the first time they saw such a wonderful thing in a copy. How to say, such a plot that only appeared in a dog-blood TV series...
Gu Wuji was stunned, but he didn't realize that Auston was actually interested in him. He thought that Auston was dissatisfied with him for not performing his duties, so he was dissatisfied with him, and quickly promised that he would never do it again. , will definitely follow Auston well.
Auston was satisfied.
Others: "..." I always feel that these two people are subtly not on the same channel.
In short, this dangerous banquet tonight is finally over. After everyone escorted Auston into the room, Gu Wuji told them about what happened after they met George, thinking that the ship might become more and more dangerous. I went back to the room with Jiang Ling.
After Gu Wuji took a shower, he still pulled the curtains tightly, feeling a lot more at ease when he couldn't see the sea, so he lay on the bed.
At this moment, Jiang Ling next to him suddenly asked, "What are you going to do about the captain's diary?"
"Let's take a look tomorrow." Gu Wuji thought about it and said, "I have already memorized the route while the captain is away, so there should be no problem."
Tonight's words were too fast, and everyone was already very tired. If they did anything, they wouldn't be able to run away if they encountered a ghost.
"Okay." Jiang Ling's face changed for a while, as if he was thinking about something extremely cautious, and finally he hesitated before speaking to him: "I didn't want to say it originally, but since it's you, I'll tell you. "
If it was the person in front of him, he would definitely not do such a thing that he would kill his teammates in order to leave.
"What?" Gu Wuji looked at him suspiciously.
"I don't know if you are clear, that is a clue I bought with points before I came to this dungeon." Jiang Ling said.
Gu Wuji: "...So you can buy leads with points?"
Jiang Ling: "...???"
What is it that you don't know any clues at all? !
All of them thought that Gu Wuji must have obtained the most detailed clues to be so reckless!
Jiang Ling felt that the matter was more urgent, and immediately said, "Anyway, I'll tell you now. The clues I got are about this ship..."
He took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to Gu Wuji directly.
Gu Wuji took the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. It should be a corner of the newspaper. On it, it was written that a ship had an accident at sea. Although the hull of the ship was in good condition, all the people inside had disappeared.
Other than that, all other parts have been torn off, and I don't know what the details are.
At first glance, I would have thought that the report was about an accident that happened to the ship a few years ago, but Gu Wuji took a closer look at the date above, and was immediately shocked. He took out his mobile phone and checked the time.
The date in the newspaper is actually a few days later.
"Yes, what is written on this newspaper is exactly what will happen on this ship in the future." Jiang Ling said: "Generally, the clues obtained by spending points are random, and they will not be written so clearly. People can speculate... Although it is said that there are special methods to know more, it is not something that ordinary players like us can know."
"So it is." Gu Wuji nodded.
No wonder Jiang Ling was so sure about the captain's problems before, after all, he knew very well what the ship would be like in the future.
"There is no hint in the mission that this ship will sail for a few days, but obviously, there may not be much time left for us." Jiang Ling said with an ugly face, "We must get the captain's diary tomorrow, otherwise... "
Who knows what will happen to this ship after that!
Only now, almost half of the people on the ship have turned into ghosts. If they don't have time to complete the main story and leave, they don't have to think about what will happen.
After the two finished their discussion, they didn't say anything more, just closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Ling felt relieved. He felt that the things that had been pressing in his heart seemed to be lighter at this time. After all, he was not such a cold person.
…
in groggy.
Gu Wuji opened his eyes, but he was in a bottomless water, surrounded by the group of hazy souls.
He had this dream again...
Gu Wuji thought blankly.
Only this time, his body seemed to be washed away by the current at any time, making it difficult to control.
How is this going
Gu Wuji's thinking is not as active in dreams as it is in reality, but only vaguely feels strange.
The originally numb faces of the surrounding dead souls also showed a look of horror, as if there was an existence under the water that made them extremely fearful, and they were swimming at a very fast speed.
Gu Wuji's body followed them uncontrollably, and soon, he clearly saw the destination of the dead souls.
It's that cruise ship.
Obviously from this angle, but Gu Wuji was eerily clear from the water to see the blurred people dancing in the glass windows on the cruise ship, and also saw the corpses that couldn't wait to climb the edge of the cruise ship, their swollen and twisted faces. All with a look that can be said to be crazy.
It's as if they could be freed if someone could replace them.
…
With a sudden jolt, Gu Wuji woke up.
He covered his forehead, realizing that what he dreamed just now might be what happened outside the cabin at the dance before.
Now that I think about it, maybe the disappearance of the people on this ship in the end is not only because the people on the ship have turned into ghosts, but also because of the danger coming from the sea.
Gu Wuji looked down, and on his wrist, the lines related to the sect became clearer and hotter.
"What the hell is this, it's what made me have that dream..."
Gu Wuji muttered to himself, and suddenly noticed something strange in the room.
The curtains, which had been drawn before, were now drawn again.
