Passing through the misty and overgrown courtyard, Gu Wuji came to the gate of this once gorgeous and rich, but now dilapidated villa. ]
He already knew very well what happened in this villa. In order to protect his wealth, the owner of the villa used a cruel method to sacrifice his own son to the ghosts in the family, and tortured him to death with a very cruel method. And in order to prevent the other party from turning into a wraith to retaliate after his death, he also forcibly gouged out his son's eyes.
But what everyone didn't expect was that the resentment of the villa owner's son was too strong, and he devoured the ghost abruptly, turning himself into a more terrifying existence, and brutally killing all those who had harmed him.
Gu Wuji didn't know much about it in the past, but now he can probably guess that the Specter originally enshrined by the villa owner was probably an intermediate or high-level Specter. And the ghost that was born after that may be the existence of a high-level ghost, and now it has become the top ghost king-level boss in these dungeons.
All eyes that can still see things will become the eyes of this ghost boss in this dungeon.
Even if he witnessed the appearance of the Specter Boss with his own eyes, something very bad would happen. Although Gu Wuji didn't know, but his subconscious already had a hunch, it must be something that people regret to the extreme.
This is another reason why Gu Wuji doesn't want other people to come over. After all, as long as other people can't help but look at the surrounding environment with a little curiosity, it will cause terrible consequences... Other people may not always listen to him.
"All Worlds"
"I don't know what will happen this time."
This place seems to be able to isolate all external forces, and even the vampire who had attached his consciousness to him before and was said to be helping him fight the boss has not moved at all.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath, took out the black cloth that had been prepared long ago, covered his eyes, and then lifted his foot into the abandoned villa.
Then he remembered something, and warned those watching the live broadcast to stop looking at him. He didn't know if others could hear it anyway, so he said that first.
After all, he has been here before, and Gu Wuji is very familiar with the situation inside, even if he can't see the road, it doesn't matter.
When they came before, the only thing Gu Wuji had not entered was the basement where the sacrificial ceremony took place, which had already been explored.
Gu Wuji thinks that if he wants to find a breakthrough, he should go into the basement, and the system has not reminded him what to do in this building until now, which makes people feel very bad.
"Hope things go well."
Gu Wuji stepped into the hall and made a sound when he stepped on the debris on the ground. The villa was eerily quiet, and the sound of his slight footsteps was harsh. As he moved forward, the ancient building seemed to be slowly waking up, and various sounds that made people think about it began to sound.
Occasionally, there seems to be someone talking and crying slightly, but if you listen carefully, it seems like your own delusion. No doubt the ghosts of this place are amazing.
Gu Wuji was completely indifferent, and followed the scene in the villa in his memory and walked towards the side of the hall - the entrance of the basement.
All the way to the door smoothly, but no ghost ran out to do it. Gu Wuji didn't know whether it was because they had no intention of attacking him, or because the ghost king-level boss's breath left on him frightened these ghosts, or maybe it was the meaning of the ghost boss in this building... But no matter what, he There is only one thing to do.
Gu Wuji pushed the door, and it was locked. Logically speaking, he should now turn around and look for the key... What key!
Gu Wuji pierced the door with one punch, reached out from the hole that was punched out, and unlocked the door.
"It seems that although the power has been suppressed a lot, it is more than enough to break a door." Gu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, brute force cracking has always been something he is good at, if he spends more time looking for it Who knows what the hell will happen.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold air rushed in.
The system's voice finally sounded at this time, [Unlock the curse of this abandoned villa. ]
"Curse?" What kind of curse is there in this abandoned villa.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Wuji tightened his clothes, probably groping to investigate the surrounding environment, and noticed that a lot of debris was thrown on the ground, as if people were running away.
It was probably left by those who sacrificed to the Specter Boss when they escaped, but there was no dust on these items, and there was no sense of age at all.
He walked along the wall beside him, but it didn't take long before he encountered a warm and viscous liquid on his hand.
Gu Wuji calmly took his hand back, leaned in front of him and sniffed, "It's blood."
This just makes people's heart suddenly burst. In the end, why is there blood on the wall that seems to have just been sprinkled on? Is it someone who escaped from the inside with injuries just now, or someone who just entered through the door not long ago
Soon he reached the stairs down, Gu Wuji's hand was still resting on the wall. He doesn't care if he touches blood again, such trivial matters don't matter at all. At the same time, he is still trying to construct the terrain of this place in his mind by groping, so that he may need to escape later.
Gu Wuji soon found that his decision was right. He stepped on some kind of liquid with one foot, and almost fell down the stairs with a slippery foot. Fortunately, he held on to the wall and stabilized his body. As for what the liquid was, Gu Wuji squatted down and sniffed it, it was indeed blood.
"The blood seems to have flowed out not long ago. There are still people alive in this place? What will happen next?"
It stands to reason that Gu Wuji's subconscious has been clamoring for him to leave this dangerous place quickly, but now he unexpectedly feels that his state of mind is still very peaceful.
At this moment, the voice suddenly sounded below. It was very slight at first, and then became louder and louder, as clearly as a few living people were discussing something fiercely below. Gu Wuji paused and pricked up his ears to listen.
"Is there really nothing wrong with this ceremony? I think it feels very dangerous."
"What's so scary about this, it's not the first time. We didn't experience it decades ago, and it was thanks to that ceremony that we saved the wealth of our families, right? You don't remember before that ceremony. , is the family almost going bankrupt?"
"Indeed, of course I never doubted the ceremony!" The other person's voice was a little anxious, "I just think this, this child is not quite right. How can someone be so calm when he is about to be sacrificed! He was stunned, and I couldn't even look him in the eye!"
"Don't think so much, this freak has been like this since he was a child." The person who spoke seemed to be the former owner of this villa, and his tone was a little frightened, "Although it is my son, I always feel that he is really serious. Terrible. It must have been destined for us to sacrifice him to that lord."
"Okay. I hope the lord will be satisfied."
The conversation of several people finally ended. Then came the sound of footsteps, and it seemed that they were finally about to start the sacrificial ceremony.
"Did I go back to the past?" Gu Wuji already understood the current situation from their words, "No, no, this dungeon has no time element at all, so it is impossible for me to go back to the past so casually. So it's just that the ghost boss in this room wanted me to see this picture, so he released it on purpose, maybe he wanted to trick me..."
And from these people, it seems that something is not right when this Specter Boss is still alive.
Although he was very curious, Gu Wuji still didn't take off the black cloth covering his eyes. He had a premonition that he would never take a look at it.
There was the sound of dragging something heavy, and the sound of picking up what metal should be a knife from the plate, and the next moment a man panicked, "What's the matter, why is he moving! You press Stop him!"
"It's weird, he's still in a drowsiness, how can he have so much strength, this is so abnormal..."
"Look at his eyes, they are red!!"
"Monster, go to hell—"
Amid the panicked voices of the crowd, the sound of a knife stabbing into flesh and blood sounded.
At this moment, even though Gu Wuji closed his eyes with a black cloth in front of his eyes, the situation below still appeared in front of him, as if it appeared directly in his brain.
"Does this make me have to watch?"
In the picture is a dark basement, with a magic circle drawn with blood on the ground. It has been some years, and the blood is a little black, but it does not prevent the sense of crisis brought by this magic circle.
And a 16-year-old boy was pressed to the ground by several middle-aged men, and a man with a panic-stricken face was holding a knife in his chest.
The boy didn't say a word, his eyes were inhuman blood color, one eye had been gouged out, looking extremely terrifying, from beginning to end he just looked at other people with indifferent eyes, as if he was watching What other creatures that are different from themselves.
It was the owner of the villa who was holding the knife. He saw that the other party was scary, but he had no intention of doing it. The fear in his heart finally disappeared a lot, and he took out the knife and stabbed the other party fiercely. In the other blood-colored eye, blood splattered all over the place.
Gu Wuji felt his eyes hurt just by looking at this picture. If he hadn't known that this was just a picture of memories, he would never have just watched it here.
Then these people couldn't see the red eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back, and muttered something in their mouths, and a translucent shadow suddenly appeared in the corner, turning into a terrifying evil ghost. .
At this time, he even gave Gu Wuji a close-up of this evil ghost, which was detailed to the rotten body and hideous face. If it weren't for Gu Wuji, who is considered to be experienced and well-informed, he would have fainted directly now.
"This aura should be a high-level ghost, will the curse have something to do with it?" Gu Wuji thought about it, and began to observe seriously, trying to find any clues, but this ghost was too rotten.
Seeing that the ghost was about to devour the boy, Gu Wuji took a deep breath, not knowing what to do now. Should we continue to watch like this, or go down and stop it.
"Let's just rely on intuition! If it's a trap anyway..."
Gu Wuji directly lifted the black cloth covering his eyes. What happened just now told him that it was useless to cover his eyes, and the Specter Boss here could even be projected directly into his mind.
Gu Wuji hurried forward a few steps, and rushed directly into the venue where the ceremony was held.
The people here didn't notice Gu Wuji's arrival, just as Gu Wuji thought, this is just a memory, what these people do is just happened, and now it's projected.
But Li Gui is different, Gu Wuji can clearly perceive the aura coming from the other side.
"The problem must be Li Gui."
Gu Wuji suddenly rushed outside the magic circle, looked at the terrifying Specter in front of him, and directly used the purification technique on it.
Even if it is a high-level ghost, under Gu Wuji's purification technique, he instantly calmed down, as if he finally got rid of the long-term pain, but he looked at Gu Wuji's eyes with a kind of deja vu.
At this moment, the memory of its past also appeared in Gu Wuji's mind.
This ghost was indeed a member of this family in the past, and it used a forbidden spell to gain wealth and power. But after that, he didn't want to pay the price, and he was killed by backlash, and the whole family fell into a curse. This ghost has become a being bound in this building, and the funny thing is that as long as the descendants are sacrificed to it, there are magical powers that can maintain the family's wealth.
It stands to reason that people in the family should no longer sacrifice sacrifices to it, but the people in the family have continued this sacrifice for those wealth.
Gu Wuji was still sighing, but after seeing the memories, he already felt something was wrong.
In the later memory, there was a person in this basement, and it was Gu Wuji himself. No, not the current him, but the previous life him.
Gu Wuji saw him in his previous life appease the ghost, and he didn't know what props he used to restore the other party's human form, telling the ghost that a child would be reincarnated into this home, and that child might be very strange, But I hope it can protect this child well and let him live his life as an ordinary person. And the reward is to lift the curse of their family.
When he was leaving, Gu Wuji also heard something in his mouth in his previous life, "Although he wanted to solve it in one go, such a powerful force really can't be reincarnated directly... He could only be forcibly separated." As long as a part of him spends his life as an ordinary person, he should never return to the way he used to be. '
Gu Wuji's heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "!?" What does this mean
He felt as if he had suddenly heard something extraordinary. What is the connection between the Specter Boss of the final dungeon and his previous life
Suddenly, Gu Wuji felt as if something he had been neglecting all along had popped up in his mind.
The picture of this memory changed again. Things didn't go as smoothly as Gu Wuji thought in the previous life. The ghost was supposed to be appeased, but he didn't know what force was affecting it and slowly became irritable, and his reason completely disappeared.
And this family has also begun to fall into the fold, and the owner of the family is also very displeased with his son who looks very strange. Although the child looks normal to outsiders, they all know that the child seems to have some relationship with the ghost, and they have always been afraid to avoid it.
Finally, the head of the family consulted the books handed down in the family. In order to make the family glorious again, and to get rid of the child who made him uncomfortable, he finally decided to start this ceremony.
In the ceremony, Li Gui was not swallowed by the ghost of the young man, but was trapped in this basement.
Until now, the arrival of reckless... freed it from the curse.
"No, it's too easy." Gu Wuji's cold sweat dripped down his forehead, how could it be possible for him to unravel the curse of the entire family so casually. He even just used the purification technique! And there was absolutely no ghost to stop him from start to finish, it all felt like a trap.
Looking at Gu Wuji, he couldn't help shaking his head at Gu Wuji, with a bit of regret, "I'm finally leaving, but the seal of this place is broken, and he can leave too. Here... there's danger out there... but if it's you... sure..."
Before it was finished, it had completely dissipated.
Gu Wuji realized that he was being used! But this was also guided by the system to get to this point. Could it be that the system has already reached an agreement with Li Gui
"But on the bright side, there shouldn't be any other way to go... It's already the final copy, and it doesn't seem to make sense to trap the boss in this villa."
What's more, he also got some memories of his past, Gu Wuji subconsciously felt that the ghost boss of this dungeon should not know about it at all.
At this time, the light in the entire basement disappeared completely, Gu Wuji looked around, only the remains of the ash piled up after the ceremony were left, and the ground was full of all kinds of debris. Then the sound of the entire building collapsing sounded, and without thinking about it, he rushed up the stairs next to him in a hurry.
Just as he went upstairs, the basement behind had completely collapsed. The previous situation was not much better. This abandoned villa had become a precarious and dangerous house. Fortunately, Gu Wuji was good enough, all kinds of building fragments fell down along the way, climbed over the fallen debris, hurried through the hall and rushed to the outside world.
The moment he ran to the outside world, the entire villa collapsed completely, but no strange sound was made, as if all that was just a mirage.
The sky outside was not completely dark at this time, with a faint red light, which reminded Gu Wuji of the dream he once had.
Gu Wuji clearly felt that the power that he had been suppressed in the villa had returned, and he could clearly feel that the two ghost king-level ghosts who had been sealed in his body before were not far away. It's a good thing to say... I hope other people's lives are still safe.
The system beep sounds.
[The player successfully lifted the curse of the villa, but at the same time released the most terrifying Specter here. No one could have imagined that the curse of this villa actually trapped Li Gui in it. Now that it is free, what will happen? No one can know. Perhaps running for your life is the best option. ]
Gu Wuji: "..." Is it really okay for the system to say such things directly
But it is absolutely impossible for him to escape. If he leaves, all efforts and sacrifices so far will be in vain.
Gu Wuji took a deep breath and stopped covering his eyes. Now all this is unnecessary.
He looked straight at the ruins of the villa in front of him. In the ruins, countless ghosts were kneeling respectfully and terrified. Gu Wuji could still vaguely see a few familiar figures, all of whom came to this dungeon by himself. seen time.
And among them, stood a very relaxed young man, just like the king of ghosts. Judging by human standards, his appearance is extremely beautiful, and even apart from being too pale, he looks no different from a living person.
But obviously, with that perfect face, the place for the eyes is empty, which makes people feel a little pity out of time. If those eyes were still there, what a perfect person this would be.
He seemed to have noticed Gu Wuji's stare, turned his head and gave Gu Wuji a gentle chuckle, as if the two were just acquaintances they hadn't seen in a long time—
… No, it should be a lover.
