Soon into the night.
The oil lamps in the corridor went out together at a certain time, and the space lost all light sources at this time, and it was so dark that I could not see my fingers.
Gu Wuji felt that the efficiency of the oil lamp was like the situation when the lights were turned off when living in school. Speaking of which, the current conditions are also much better than his previous school dormitory.
… Perhaps the only one who still thinks about this kind of thing at this terrifying time has no choice.
The surrounding rooms are also very quiet. Probably no one dares to speak at this time, and of course no one can fall asleep at this time. After all, they may have to face unknown ghosts tonight, and they are not that big.
Gu Wuji, the only one who fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, was sitting on the edge of the bed with the idea of having a heart-to-heart with the ghost.
Lily was lying on the bed, pulling the quilt tightly, almost covering most of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed. But even so, she still felt that the bone-piercing cold around her continued to erode into her body, and the quilt had no effect at all.
It stands to reason that players should not feel such coldness, which proves that the Yin Qi in this space is now so strong that a human body cannot bear it.
Lily's body couldn't help trembling, she held the defense tool in her hand, and looked at the direction of the door nervously.
After all, knowing that there would be danger, she had already moved the cabinet over to block the door. But how could such a cabinet stop an evil spirit... If it's really bad luck, then the person the evil spirit chooses to kill is her
In fact, before coming to the castle, Lily met a servant who had been out of the castle by chance while investigating in the village, and learned some things about the castle from the other side.
The ghosts in this castle are not so simple as the people who once died here, and even the entire castle, including this village, are not so ordinary.
The more Lily thought about it, the more fearful she became, but she was also trying her best to adjust her mentality. She couldn't let her emotions affect her performance. Otherwise, she would not even have the chance to escape if she really encountered danger later.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door at the very edge.
A hoarse female voice suddenly sounded, "Excuse me, can you help me bandage the wound?"
The next room was extremely quiet, and it was obviously impossible for that person to speak at such a time.
The players in other rooms held their breaths at this time, and the words of the female ghost kept ringing in their minds. What does it mean to bandage the wound? Is there a wound on her body, really as long as she doesn't answer, the other party won't come in
The knocking on the door continued to sound, and it became more and more urgent, and it even made people suspect that the door that could not be locked would be pushed open the next moment.
But the knocking stopped.
Then came the sound of footsteps, and the female ghost slowly walked to the second room and started knocking on the door again.
"Can you help me bandage the wound? The blood has been unstoppable, why, so strange..."
Along with these words, the female ghost continued to make painful sounds, and the sound of blood dripping to the ground.
Of course, the people in the next room were silent. Just relying on their brains to make up for it, they could already imagine how terrifying the female ghost outside was.
Seeing that the person inside the door did not respond for a long time, after the knock on the door ended as usual, the footsteps of the female ghost had come to the door of Lily's room.
Lily couldn't help biting her lower lip, holding the prop tightly with both hands, her body tensed to the point of being almost stiff.
"I can do it... maybe I won't be so unlucky..."
"It's really painful, it's terrible, why, why did I encounter such a thing? Why, you don't want to help... "
The voice of the female ghost has changed from numbness to hysteria before, and the knocking on the door has become intense. There is a sense of accusation in her words, but it is obviously not aimed at these players at this time, but at some former players. Companions say such things.
"Why! Why did you leave too! Didn't you say you would stay by my side..."
The female ghost's words were full of venting meaning, and were clearly transmitted to the ears of other players around.
Presumably this is not the first time a group of people have lived in this room. This female ghost may be a former victim, so what happened in the past? All kinds of terrifying images kept popping up in everyone's minds.
Lily was so nervous that even her rapid breathing felt too noisy. She didn't know whether her movements would attract the attention of the female ghosts outside. wet.
"Damn, I have to calm down..."
Lily tried to keep her sanity from being too frightened, but it didn't help much, her lips were shaking and she couldn't make a sound. Even though it was not the first time that such encounters with ghosts had happened, this time, she really felt a sense that her life was in danger from the bottom of her heart.
Every time the female ghost outside knocked on the door, the loud noise seemed to hit her in the chest. If it went on like this, the door would soon be broken, and the cabinet would not be able to resist in the slightest.
The other players have almost realized that this poor person who was selected by the female ghost will not be spared. The only thing that makes them happy is that they are not selected. As for what to help and what to joke about, their own lives It may not be guaranteed, where do you have time to care about others... Originally helping others or something is a luxury in the copy.
"Damn." Lily is not the kind of person who sits and waits for death. She got up from the bed with a pale face, took out her props one after another, and looked indignantly in the direction of the voice, "Even if I really want my life, I It's impossible for you to take it so easily—"
In the next moment, a voice of a person suddenly came from next door.
"Miss Ghost, if you need anything, you can come here and I will help you bandage it."
The voice was not too loud, and it was very kind and gentle, but it was like thunder in this space, so everyone could hear it clearly.
The female ghost who had been knocking on the door suddenly stopped moving, and the footsteps walked towards the room where the sound came from, obviously more basic than before.
Others immediately recognized that this was the voice of the female player Mengmeng.
The players were shocked. The emotions in their hearts were extremely complicated at this time. They saved others by themselves. They never thought that someone would stand up at this critical time, and would rather sacrifice themselves to protect others.
What's more, this cute girl is the object of contempt for many girl players at the beginning, thinking that she must be a dodder flower, the kind of useless vase that can only rely on men to survive, without even looking at it. But she was the first to come forward when faced with such a critical matter.
Even the other players were stunned, not to mention Lily who was rescued by Gu Wuji. She almost stayed where she was, unable to believe what she heard.
Even though Gu Wuji had said that she would save her if something went wrong, she thought it was just a polite remark, but she didn't expect that when the incident really happened, the other party actually...
Lily couldn't help biting her lower lip. If it was the past, she must have sneered a few times, thinking that the speaker was too naive, and then waited for everything to end with peace of mind. But now, how could she do such a thing!
She must find a way to save Mengmeng.
Just when she was in a hurry, she suddenly thought that she had obtained a notebook about the castle before, but there were too many things in it, and she didn't have the patience to read it before.
…
…
At this time, the female ghost had already walked outside Gu Wuji's door, staring at the door in front of her with bloodshot eyes, and reached out to knock.
"Don't knock on the door, just come in." Gu Wuji's voice sounded, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
With the sound of opening and closing the door, Gu Wuji was already dead in the hearts of others.
The moment the female ghost entered the door, this space seemed to be isolated from the outside world, and no sound from the outside world could be heard, and other players also couldn't feel what happened in the room.
It can be said that even if you want to ask for help, it is impossible, and escaping is a dream.
Gu Wuji, who encountered this kind of thing, was extremely calm, and said to the blood-stained female ghost who had just walked in from the door, "I'm so sorry, I have nothing here to entertain you. ."
His tone was as if the person in front of him was not a female ghost, but an ordinary person who came to be a guest.
The female ghost's eyes looked at Gu Wuji, and a hoarse voice sounded, "Can you help me bandage?"
As she spoke, blood was still dripping from her facial features, and her eyes were full of murderous intent, as if she had only come here to kill people from the very beginning.
Gu Wuji didn't seem to notice this at all, just walked forward slowly, stared at each other, and said with a bit of worry, "Of course, but before that, you have to show me first. The location of the wound, otherwise I don't know how to start."
The female ghost was a little surprised. She didn't expect the person in front of her to look like she really wanted to bandage her, and she stretched out her hand in doubt.
"You better promise that you can help me bandage, I won't forgive those who betrayed and deceived me..."
Gu Wuji could see that her bony hand was covered with many marks that had been cut by sharp tools, and the bones were visible. Even now that the other party had turned into a ghost, blood continued to pour out of it, as if it had never healed. .
From these wounds, he seemed to be able to see what terrifying scenes this female ghost experienced when she was still alive.
The resentment at the time of death made her a terrible ghost, but it was also because of this obsession that the wounds on her body could not be healed, and the whole person was always in resentment and pain.
Gu Wuji held the other's cold, bone-piercing hand that looked like a corpse no matter how he touched it, and used his own healing ability directly against this hand—it was such a convenient ability, otherwise Gu Wuji would have to think about it. Where to find bandages.
The female ghost almost didn't respond, and all the wounds on her body healed. It can be said that she has fewer injuries now than when she was alive.
The female ghost was stunned for a moment.
Gu Wuji smiled at her, "How do you feel now?"
The female ghost stretched out her hand and touched the places where the wounds originally existed on her body. These wounds that had caused her extreme pain and seemed to never heal, but now there is no trace at all.
"It seems to be recovering pretty well." Gu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was a little worried about whether his healing ability could be used by ghosts, but now it seems to be very reliable.

Female ghost: "??" Originally, she had already made up her mind to kill this human being!
"Now that you're all right, can you tell me what happened to you?" Gu Wuji looked at the female ghost with inquiring eyes.
After the wound healed, the female ghost's attitude changed 180 degrees. Although this wound will reappear sooner or later because of the resentment on her body, it is rare to experience this painless feeling on her body, which is enough to make her look at Gu Wuji with admiration.
"Of course, I haven't had a good conversation with anyone for a long time, and it makes me miss it a bit."
…
…
Lily was holding a parchment notebook with trembling hands, constantly rummaging through it for news.
This was the notebook she had obtained from other places about this copy. It was actually just a diary of a servant who had worked in the castle for many years. Most of the content was casual, writing about what work she did every day.
Generally, after asking the villagers, players will think that all kinds of strange things have happened after changing the lord recently. Of course, they subconsciously think that the lord in the castle is the villain boss of this dungeon.
But from the mouths of the servants who have worked in the castle for decades, things are completely different!
These strange things happened decades ago, and at that time, a new lord was exchanged, and everything gradually returned to calm. At that time, the lord also invited many villagers into the castle to participate in the banquet, but few of those villagers were able to get out alive.
After a few quiet decades, these problems suddenly broke out. But because they are afraid of something, the old people who know what happened at the time are reluctant to speak, and the middle-aged and young people don't understand, so players who inquire about these things can't be clear.
If Lily hadn't been lucky enough to help the old man accomplish something, the other party would not have told her about the notebook and the castle.
Of course, it was impossible for Lily to tell other people such news at will.
The reason why the servant who has become an old man can persist until he left the castle alive is because he is a person who never kills and has no curiosity, so he doesn't know too much, but some words from his mouth, let the dungeon experience Rich Lily is enough to guess a lot of things.
The female ghost is estimated to be the villager who died at the last banquet. It is by no means accidental that her soul will linger in this place, but something that was expected by the person who started the castle... It can be said that this is a sacrifice at all.
In the past few decades, the female ghost has not stopped, and often knocks on the doors of some servants. The servant who opened the door at the beginning of course died violently, and the servants after that also had experience and chose not to pay attention to her, so that the female ghost would naturally leave after receiving no response.
As for this place as the place where ghosts linger the most, the servants in the castle will never come back after dark.
Lily knows that tonight is different, the female ghost will definitely choose one person to kill!
If it wasn't for Gu Wuji's kindness to help out this time, she would be the one chosen by the female ghost, but if Gu Wuji really died because of this, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!
At this moment, Lily finally turned to a certain page, and when her eyes landed on the page, she immediately revealed a look of joy, "This is it! As long as this is there, it will definitely be able to stop that female ghost, Mengmeng will definitely not. something will happen..."
…
…
In the room, the picture of the tragic death was completely different from what other people imagined.
Gu Wuji and the female ghost were talking in a pleasant atmosphere.
"Is that so?" Gu Wuji nodded while listening to the female ghost, with a look of disgust on his face, "These people are too much, how can they leave their companions and run away? What I hate most is this Planted!"
In the words of the female ghost, when she encountered a ghost in the room of this place and was killed, no one of her companions was willing to lend a helping hand.
They are not players who know that this is a dungeon, but a really good group of friends. They originally thought that they would be able to participate in banquets and have fun in this castle. Who would have thought that they would die so tragically? Plastic love, it's no wonder the female ghost's resentment is so deep.
The female ghost looked at Gu Wuji with admiration. Of course, she also saw the picture of Gu Wuji saving her companions even at the expense of herself, so she felt that Gu Wuji's words were more sincere.
If a passerby came over and said this, he would definitely be killed by the female ghost because he felt perfunctory.
"Yeah, don't worry about the others, I can't forgive that person alone." The female ghost's voice was full of complicated emotions.
Gu Wuji felt that there must be some kind of love and hatred involved, so he was careful when answering the call, so as not to trigger the other party's anger.
After all, for many people, the object of the love-hate relationship must only be scolded by themselves, and others may provoke them to anger.
In this way, the topic continued naturally. The female ghost mentioned a lot of things, but what she knew was also very one-sided.
"So, you don't know exactly what happened in this castle, because you have been trapped in the space on this floor for decades and cannot leave." Gu Wuji thought for a while, "But you can realize that, There is an extremely terrifying existence in this castle, if that existence is awakened, everyone will surely die?"
The villain boss of this dungeon should be the vampire lord, but from every aspect of the details, there is a feeling that the truth is more than that.
The female ghost nodded immediately, a look of fear appeared on her face, "And that terrifying existence has become stronger recently, and that's why I want to leave urgently. After all, before I found her, how could I Maybe die here... A voice in my subconscious told me that if I kill someone in this place, I can leave this place completely."
"I think that voice is right." Gu Wuji pondered: "After you really kill someone here, that person will replace you. You don't exist in this place, of course. completely left."
After hearing his words, the female ghost seemed to have a look of fear on her face, and immediately said: "You are right, I also vaguely realized this... It's just that before I saw you, my mind was full of confusion, completely Can't think. I can't just leave now, before asking why she left me."
The female ghost remembered something from the past, and seemed to miss it with a bit of hatred, as well as sadness and pain... What kind of emotion is this, so that she can be so persistent for more than ten years.
Gu Wuji immediately guessed the current situation, presumably this female ghost's dazed appearance before is what the people who laid out before really wanted. Who would have thought that this female ghost had the obsession to ask the truth about her companions, which made her barely maintain her consciousness.
No, this may not be a companion anymore. Thinking of the werewolf girl he had met before, Gu Wuji felt that engaging with lily might be the spirit of this village.
The leader told them not to stay together. Wouldn't it touch the sadness of the female ghost and make her kill her? That's why there is such a taboo... The more I think about it, the more likely it is .
Occasionally, sometimes the feelings between others can be seen very quickly.
"But it's impossible for your companion to be alive now." Gu Wuji couldn't help but speak carefully.
"No, I can feel her soul is within the confines of this castle." The female ghost's eyes became firm, and she looked at Gu Wuji with a look of help, "Now I can only ask you to take me there. By her side, on the other hand, I will try my best to save your life in this castle."
[Trigger the side quest: the wish of the female ghost. ]
[The female ghost you met in this dilapidated castle seems to have an unforgettable obsession, please fulfill her wish. ]
Gu Wuji was a little surprised, he didn't expect to trigger another side quest so soon.
According to previous experience, the side quests are not done and will not affect the main line, but if you do, you can know more about the entire dungeon. Of course, in the dungeon of Lonely Island Escape, Gu Wuji didn't even think that doing a side quest would involve the truth of the entire dungeon...
Originally, according to the careless temperament, even if there is no such side quest, he will still help the other party. But the female ghost said that the person she was looking for was still in the castle, so it must have become a ghost... What happened to these people
Just when the two reached a friendly cooperation and shook hands, suddenly there was a violent crash at the door.
The female ghost couldn't help frowning. Originally, when she entered this space, this space should have been independent. How can anyone still break in...
In the next instant, the door was slammed open, and Lily's figure suddenly appeared outside the door. She held a sharp knife against her wrist, and shouted at the people inside with a kind of imposing manner: "Quick! Let her go! Or I'll—"
Lily's voice disappeared in her throat after seeing the harmonious atmosphere of one person and one ghost in the room. She stood there stiffly, her face blank for a while.
How is this going? !
Why is there such harmony between these two? ! It was too far from the tragic picture she imagined! Why did she feel as if she had trespassed in and disturbed some important conversation between them.
The female ghost didn't want to explain too much to other people, and her body turned into a wisp of black smoke and attached to Gu Wuji's body, as if there was no breath at all.
Gu Wuji took over the side quest anyway, and then hurried forward, looking at each other in surprise, "Lily, why are you here?"
Of course, he could immediately see that the other party was actually here to save him, and he couldn't think of it at all... I didn't expect this Lily to be a very loyal woman.
Lily looked at Gu Wuji who was safe and sound, and the sharp knife in her hand also fell to the ground. She held the door softly and did not fall directly. Looking at Gu Wuji, she cried with snot and tears. Get up, "It's really good that you're okay..."
Then Gu Wuji helped her to the next room while comforting the other party, secretly delivering healing power, and the other party's condition seemed to be much better.
"What's the matter with you carrying that sharp knife?" Gu Wuji could feel that when the female ghost attached to him sensed the sharp knife, his emotions fluctuated violently.
When Lily heard this, she put the notebook into Gu Wuji's arms with hinting eyes, and then said, "I don't know why, but the ghosts here seem to be afraid of the existence of blood, so as long as the blood bleeds, the ghosts will die. won't come any closer."
This is also the news that she just found out in order to save Gu Wushou, otherwise she would have cut her hand at the beginning, and she would have been almost killed by a female ghost.
"Is that so?" Gu Wuji thought of these players. The two players who were lucky enough not to be killed by the female ghost seemed to have been injured before.
In this case, it is indeed easy to conclude that ghosts are afraid of blood.
However, Gu Wuji remembered what the werewolf girl had told him before, which also mentioned blood... It's definitely not that simple. This blood can drive away these ordinary ghosts, but maybe it will attract more terrible things...
It's as if the existence mentioned in the female ghost's words, if you think about it this way, the ghost is not afraid of their blood, but the meaning behind the blood.
What's more, the villain boss of this dungeon is still a vampire.
Gu Wuji picked up the notebook that Lily had sent, and solemnly stated her guess, so that she must be careful not to get hurt rashly. trick.
Lily's favorability for Gu Wuji had soared long ago. What else could it mean? She nodded and vowed to take good care of her body. She felt that Mengmeng was so considerate and gentle.
As for the agreement between Gu Wuji and the female ghost, she didn't ask any questions. After all, this kind of thing is also a secret of other people. What's more, it's impossible for someone as beautiful and kind-hearted as Mengmeng to harm her!
After Gu Wuji reassured Lily, he went back to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed, and he didn't worry about the ghost that was boarding his body at all.
…
…
In the dream, Gu Wuji felt that he had come to a rather luxurious and gorgeous corridor, and there were various paintings of great value hanging on both sides, but the contents of the paintings were a bit strange.
He had never been here before, but he knew subconsciously that this place must still be in the castle.
He walked forward slowly and came to a huge door.
Before Gu Wuji stretched out his hand, the door slowly opened by itself, revealing the scene inside.
This is an extremely magnificent hall with a high dome and various exquisite murals painted on it, giving a grand epic feel.
And the hall was empty. The only thing that can be seen is the dark coffin in the center.
A sense of fear in the face of the unknown hit his mind, but he cared more than that. It was an inexplicably strong impulse in his heart. It made the alarm bell rang in his heart, knowing that something terrible might happen in the past, but he still couldn't stop his steps.
That is, there is a certain existence that has been waiting for him.
The author has something to say: Another all-nighter…
