What the hell is this place? Has there been any danger in the past? What will happen if the coffin is opened
Such ordinary thoughts did not appear in Gu Wuji's mind at this time. He just slowly stretched out his hand and wanted to open the coffin.
But at the moment when his hand touched the surface of the coffin, a rune that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly flashed on the back of Gu Wuji's hand, indescribable pain suddenly hit, Gu Wuji suddenly opened his eyes, and that's it. Wake up directly from a dream.
"What was that just now, I'm dreaming again?" Even if he didn't care, there was a faint cold sweat on his forehead.
He also discovered that, as if he didn't know when it started, he would have some strange dreams every time in the dungeon, and they were all extremely dangerous dreams.
But considering that this is a supernatural copy, this is also a very common thing, maybe everyone will dream about it. In a way, it also provided some clues that he didn't usually investigate.
If it weren't for the sudden pattern on his hand... Gu Wuji looked at the back of his hand, he never imagined that the imprint of the Evil God, which was a life-threatening existence in the past, would still save him in such a copy.
"This is probably the setting that the villain boss of the supernatural copy is incompatible."
Thinking of the hall in the dream, Gu Wuji was absolutely sure that this was the place where this castle would appear, and the coffin that gave people a feeling of extreme fear was inextricably linked with this copy.
"Looks like I should still investigate."
Gu Wuji thought to himself, when two ghosts came back through the door, they were the two who had been sent to the castle by Gu Wuji to investigate.
As soon as they entered the door, the female ghost attached to Gu Wuji exuded a terrifying aura. Seeing the grievances that substantiated behind Gu Wuji, the two ghosts were so frightened that they both knelt down in front of Gu Wuji.
Gu Wuji hurriedly said: "These two ghosts are my people, they have no malice."
The murderous aura of the female ghost disappeared, and calm was restored in the room. Now this female ghost's obsession is completed by Gu Wuji, how could she tolerate other ghosts to do something to Gu Wuji.
Seeing this, these two ghosts were even more afraid of Gu Wuji in their hearts.
They just went out to investigate for one night, and Gu Wuji actually took the ghosts here for their own use. What a terrible person! Fortunately, they had already tactfully abandoned the dark and cast the light, otherwise they would have been killed by him in minutes.
By the way, the two ghosts have completely let go of the idea of concealing some information before. They can't guarantee that the female ghost is not clear about what they said, and they have said everything they have investigated.
"Many places in this castle are guarded by ghosts, and they are all controlled ghosts who have no sense but only know how to attack. It is difficult for us to enter. So we only explored some roads outside."
"What is certain is that most of the servants and kitchen staff are just ordinary people. They are very cautious and will not leave the first floor rashly."
"Then did you go upstairs to take a look?" Gu Wuji asked, after all, female ghosts can't leave this floor alone.
"Of course not." Both ghosts looked trembling, "There is an extremely terrifying atmosphere upstairs, there must be very dangerous things there, and there are many people with amazing strength, you'd better also Don't go up..."
Gu Wuji nodded, knowing that the hall he saw in his dream last night must be on the second floor.
"Then you went out for one night, didn't you find anything else?"
These two ghosts looked at Gu Wuji, who obviously understood something, and those very clear eyes, and their hearts were even more nervous.
"I, we, found an entrance to the dungeon in the garden!"
"The dungeon should be where the prisoners were once held. Now there is nothing but a lot of ghosts who have lost their consciousness. And there is a secret passage from the outside world in the dungeon, which should be a back road left by the people who built the castle... It's just that we were halfway there and felt like we were being held back by something and couldn't get out at all."
Otherwise, they must have run away long ago, and they will come back honestly. This castle is full of dangers, and it is better to stay by Gu Wuji's side to make people feel safe.
Gu Wuji of course still remembers the blueprint he got, and the secret passage above is indeed in the dungeon.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but think deeply. It seems that it is not so easy to leave the secret passage casually. It is very likely that there is something like a barrier in it. Maybe the barrier can only be unlocked if the boss of the dungeon or something is resolved. .
"Okay, this is really hard work for you, so come back first." Gu Wuji said.
When the two ghosts saw Gu Wuji, they felt that he was unfathomable, and then shook their heads again and again, with fear on their faces, obviously not daring to attach to Gu Wuji with the female ghost.
Gu Wuji had no choice but to open the box, "Then you can only come in here... Of course this time I will let Da Huang be gentle with you."
Two ghosts: "… "
What the hell is this terrible situation where there are wolves before and after tigers! !
In the end, they still chose to enter the box that Gu Wuji used to store ghosts under difficult choices. At least it's just a little scary, and it won't be directly killed by the female ghost.
…
…
And in the hall somewhere in the castle guarded by several people, everyone was already in a cold sweat, as if they had walked on the line of life and death.
They clearly felt that the pitch-black coffin they were guarding almost broke the seal in a split second.
"Go and report to the lord, there is no time left!"
"The ceremony must be carried out quickly, otherwise..."
That existence will surely wake up. By then, everything will not be so simple.
-----
The sky was already bright, and the players gathered in the hall, all thoughtfully eating the breakfast brought by the servants in the castle.
When Gu Wuji went, it was easy to find that there was one person missing from the male side. It was one of the two male players who had been stunned in the casino before. Even Lu Yuanzhou's face was not very good-looking, but Xiao Lu's face It was extremely pale, as if something terrible had happened.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was very heavy. The female players looked at Gu Wuji with surprise. After learning about the situation on the male player's side, they felt more and more of the amazing strength of this cute girl. How did it change from yesterday? survived in that situation.
You must know that when they came out of the room after dawn, they saw blood everywhere in the corridor, just like a murder scene, but no one died.
Gu Wuji naturally sat opposite Lu Yuanzhou and learned what happened yesterday from their mouths.
A similar thing happened in the male player's dormitory. When it happened, the unlucky male player who was selected by the ghost escaped with props, and then tried to break into the other player's room to find a substitute.
But it is a pity that he chose Lu Yuanzhou's room. He was killed by the ghost at the door before he could even open the door. Only after a scream that woke everyone up, the whole person was dead without a corpse. A pool of blood remained at the door.
Although Lu Yuanzhou didn't care much about this kind of thing, but the other party died at his door, which always made him feel that there was something in the dark... After all, this is an inescapable copy arranged by the system for him, and it must not be underestimated. .
Lily was very excited, ran over and sat next to Gu Wuji and said, "Mengmeng, it was all thanks to you yesterday, otherwise I might have died here."
Gu Wuji said: "It's not a difficult thing, it's my luck, that female ghost is quite easy to get along with."
When the people around him heard his words, of course they didn't believe it in their hearts. Just by looking at the death of the male player, they knew that the ghosts here were terrifying. This Mengmeng must have tried her best to escape the disaster, but others were unwilling to tell her The killer is also a very normal thing.
Among this group of people, only Lu Yuanzhou believed it right away. After all, he had seen with his own eyes how Gu Wuji tossed the ghosts in the previous dungeon, and he felt a lot of peace of mind.
The group ate breakfast absent-mindedly, only Gu Wuji ate deliciously.
A certain player tentatively asked the servants next to him what to do next. After all, the most terrifying banquet for them will be held tonight. Before that, there is more time to explore around the castle.
The servant immediately said that they only needed to wait here until the banquet in the evening, and they could not go out rashly. They could only move in a small area nearby, so as not to disturb other distinguished guests who came.
It was only then that everyone realized that since it was a banquet, there would definitely be other guests... But according to the introduction of the system before, it is estimated that all the so-called distinguished guests that will appear at this banquet will not be human.
They felt a sense of crisis even more. In this case, who would stay honest and have already thought about how to get out in the future. Anyway, these players are not ordinary people who really want to sit here and wait.
After the meal, everyone immediately left the hall. The servants seemed to see what they were thinking, and warned again: "This castle is very dangerous. If you touch some taboos, you will not be able to leave alive."
In fact, someone should have come here to guard these players, but something seems to have happened last night, and everyone has been mobilized.
Where would everyone take this kind of nonsense to heart, and they began to explore around this place, but they also knew the danger here, and everyone's vigilance had reached the extreme.
Gu Wuji originally wanted to help the female ghost find her companion, but the female ghost said that he couldn't feel the location of the other party yet, so he had to look at the diary that Lily gave him yesterday.
As for Lu Yuanzhou and Xiao Lu, they both stayed, ready to go with Gu Wuji. Lily said that and left with the female attendant, as if there were other things she 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 couldn't help but want to share with others, and finally he had to write it down in this diary.
It's clearly written about something weird in the castle. For example, the second floor can only be entered during the day, and the third floor and above are places where ordinary servants like them absolutely cannot enter.
Even the second floor was handed over to them for cleaning in just one hour. When the time is up, they must come out immediately, otherwise they will be punished...
"It seems that there must be a problem with this second floor. If you stay on it for more than an hour, you should die." Lu Yuanzhou said lightly.
"But the banquet was held on the second floor, and we're going to spend the night there." Xiao Lu's face was already pale. After the tragic death of the male player last night, he was terrified. It hasn't slowed down yet.
"That's why we have to find out how to live when the time comes." Gu Wuji read a few more pages and noticed a place mentioned in the diary.
It is mentioned that there is a separate staircase on the first floor leading to the library on the second floor, which contains certain documents that the castle has recorded over the years. But the strange thing is that no one was sent to guard the castle, and no one was even sent to clean it.
The owner of this diary also learned that there is a library by accident. The only thing he knows is that the bodies of those who have entered will appear in the garden the next day, and their eyes have been dug out. The death is extremely tragic.
Adhering to the concept of never committing death, the owner of the diary never went to read it.
"It seems that this place should be very important, and there may be something we are looking for." Gu Wuji immediately had an idea, "Let's go there and see."
Xiao Lu was already too scared, but he still agreed with this matter.
Who would have thought, Gu Wuji turned over several pages, "Well, you can't go here, this is also a forbidden place... If you go to this place, you will die... Let's go to these places to see."
"Sun and Moon"
Xiaolu: "??"
Lu Yuanzhou looked at Gu Wuji with admiration, as if to say that the person in front of him was indeed his good brother or something.
…
…
Several people left the hall. Not far away, several people appeared in the corner behind, and the leader was a young man who looked more imposing than the people around him, with a pale face that didn't look like a human being.
"Lord Brian, is this really good? Before the banquet, I will do something with the sacrifice... Lord Lord will definitely be angry when he finds out." The subordinate said quickly.
"What's the matter." The young man named Brian sneered: "As a blood race, am I not qualified to enjoy the sacrifice in advance? What's more..." His eyes fell on Gu Wuji's back, "This sacrifice looks It’s still pretty good to go up, and it’s too wasteful to be killed directly, so let me enjoy it first.”
The surrounding subordinates were trembling, but there was nothing they could do about their master.
Although the general vampires are not interested in humans and think that humans are much lower than themselves, but this Brian has a different taste, and especially likes to play with humans before killing them.
Usually, it’s okay to attack other humans, but now he comes to the banquet, but he has to do such things to the sacrifices at the banquet... But because of Brian’s identity, even if he is discovered, he is sure that other people will not be wrong. What do you do yourself, this is so fearless.
The others sighed. Originally, their masters couldn't escape. Who knows what happened last night... The lord called everyone else to discuss, and actually gave their masters this opportunity to come to the place where the sacrifices were.
…
…
Even in the daytime, the castle is extremely dark, with tightly drawn curtains all around, as if for fear of a ray of sunlight leaking in, and the interior is completely illuminated by oil lamps.
It's a waste, but it makes sense considering the castle's owner could be a vampire.
Even if they carefully opened the curtains and looked outside, they saw a gray and gloomy weather, and a lifeless garden, with plants swaying in the wind.
"They don't even need to draw the curtains in this weather." Xiao Lu couldn't help but said, "If the villain of this dungeon is so afraid of the sun, can we think of something?"
"But the banquet was held at night." Lu Yuanzhou shook his head, "This method probably won't work."
A few people said, and they came to a door that was recorded in the diary as inaccessible. It is said that this place used to be a utility room, and a servant died inexplicably while cleaning it. Since then, no one else will be allowed to enter casually. .
Gu Wuji released the two male ghosts, and said in a kind tone: "I think you all want to see your compatriots, you should go and see first."
Male ghost: "!?" What is a compatriot! It's not that they have a good relationship as long as they are ghosts!
But they were already obediently obeyed by Gu Wuji at this time, and they had the courage to resist, so they had to get into this room.
Xiao Lu was stunned, "This is?"
"It's the ghost we met in the casino." Gu Wuji replied thoughtfully.
"I know, but how could this ghost appear here!" Xiao Lu was stunned, "and, still..." So honest!
"After all, their nature is actually kind." Gu Wuji said.
Xiao Lu still seems to understand.
In the next moment, two devastated ghosts suddenly rushed out of the house, followed by a menacing and mindless ghost, who immediately attacked Gu Wuji, who was at the forefront as soon as they saw human beings.
But before it could meet Gu Wuji, the female ghost on Gu Wuji had already fixed her.
And at that moment when the ghost was sluggish, Gu Wuji noticed that this was a low-level ghost without a sense of sanity, so he purified it.
In the eyes of outsiders, the ghost disappeared the moment it met Gu Wuji, and Gu Wuji himself was still standing there unscathed.
Xiao Lu: "...!" Sister Kui Mengmeng is too strong!
Lu Yuanzhou was aware of something, but Gu Wuji didn't say there was any problem, so he didn't care anymore. Anyway, Gu Wuji definitely knew what he was doing.
The two ghosts didn't take a breath, and even said that they had no intention of cheating on Wuji. This monster was too scary for them to deal with, for fear that Gu Wuji would have any opinion on them.
"Of course I believe you." Gu Wuji's attitude was very easy-going, and he said to Xiao Lu: "We can't look at them in a different way, we must care for them as our companions, and let them feel the warmth of spring... Only then can the ice in their hearts be melted."
Xiao Lu didn't know exactly what Gu Wuji was talking about, but that didn't stop him from looking at Gu Wuji with admiration, "As expected of Sister Mengmeng! That's why I can have a good relationship with those ghosts!"
Two ghosts: "..." Why didn't they feel any spring-like warmth at all!
Gu Wuji immediately pushed the door open, "Okay, let's go in and have a look now."
Of course, the blood clan Brian and his subordinates who were hiding behind all noticed this scene.
"The sacrifice this time doesn't seem to be easy." Brian couldn't help but speak, with intense interest in his eyes.
"Lord Brian, let's forget it! This person can purify the soul. It must be the most important sacrifice specially prepared by the Lord. Maybe it has something to do with the ceremony. If we attack her, maybe..."
"What do you know, this kind of sacrifice is the most perfect! Of course, let me be the first to enjoy it." Brian's tone was a bit sarcastic, "Anyway, the lord definitely couldn't have only prepared one sacrifice. Let's deal with this ceremony, if the ceremony fails, he probably won't be able to keep this position."
"The key is that this human being may not be so easy to deal with..." The subordinates also tried to convince him.
"That's right." Brian nodded, actually thinking about it, "Didn't they plan to go to the library in this castle before? We'll just lie in ambush there and arrange some means... They must be nothing. There is no resistance."
"But Mr. Brian, the library is a forbidden place in this castle. The lord knows it..." These subordinates were about to cry.
They know very well that the previous lord is not a problem, and the new lord is not so casual now, and the other party is far away from their master regardless of strength or status. If the master angered him, it would be very difficult to end it...
But they also knew that if they said this, it would definitely arouse Brian's rebellious psychology, and they had to try to persuade him from other angles.
"Am I your master or is the lord your master?" Brian said coldly, "Just listen to me and do it!"
…
…
Gu Wuji entered the utility room, and several people rummaged in the utility room immediately.
Unexpectedly, he actually found something important in this utility room.
It turned out to be the topographic map of the castle, and some dangerous places in the castle were marked on it... This topographic map was only drawn a small part, and it was obvious that the person who drew it had encountered an accident before it was finished.
But even so, the location of the library is clearly drawn on it, and there are several handwritten investigations that show how dangerous the library is.
The person involved had never entered the library, but he knew that there were several lords who had invited real guests who were not sacrifices. Inhumans like werewolf vampires.
Several people's expressions have changed.
"It's really bad, I didn't expect this library to be so dangerous... Fortunately, we got this thing ahead of time, otherwise we would definitely die if we rush in." Xiao Lu said in a cold sweat.
"Yeah." Lu Yuanzhou also looked solemn, "It seems that this copy must be taken seriously, otherwise I don't know how I died, but even vampires can't save their lives, maybe we can learn something very important from it. ."
"Fortunately, apart from us, no one else should go in."
…
…
At the same time, Brian and his subordinates had already entered the library room, and their subordinates pushed the door open. They suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill hit them, and vaguely felt a kind of fear.
However, existences like ghosts are only lowly existences to the blood clan who think they have noble blood, and it stands to reason that they will not be afraid of it at all.
"Lord Brian, this... always feels very dangerous..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just some ghosts at most. If you're afraid of that, just don't hang around with me!"
Therefore, Brian also drove his subordinates who had obviously had the intention of retreating into the library.
After the group of them entered the library, they didn't even notice that the door behind them was closed as if being pushed hard, and a dark shadow appeared behind them.
The author has something to say: It was too late yesterday... I accidentally fell asleep! ! !
