The group returned to the Xiaoqiao Inn in silence.
The staff member on night shift at Xiaoqiao Inn was drowsy while sitting behind the counter. Suddenly he heard the sound of a door opening and woke up abruptly. When he saw the player coming in, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
He checked the time. It was three in the morning.
Didn't these guests come back at 12 o'clock at night? When did they go out again
And he has been guarding here the whole time, it seems he didn't see them go out
The players did not have the energy to deal with the staff's endless questions and quickly went upstairs. The staff was too embarrassed to stop them and continue asking questions, so they could only assume that they were going to the bathroom when they went out and diverted the conversation.
It was late at night and the players didn't feel like chatting any more. They just said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.
After returning to the room, Gu Jiu pulled her boyfriend straight to the bathroom to continue what they had just done.
As it was getting late, Gu Jiu didn't feel like doing anything else. After taking a shower, she simply wiped her hair and lay down on the bed, while greeting her slow boyfriend.
"Aji, get on the bed quickly."
Lu Ji glanced at her and took the hair dryer to help her blow dry her hair. "Blow it dry before going to bed."
Gu Jiu responded with a smile and sat there obediently, allowing her boyfriend to run his fingers through her hair and help dry her still wet hair.
The force of his hands was so gentle, massaging her scalp, that she began to feel drowsy.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the sound of the hair dryer disappeared.
"Ajiu, it's OK."
Gu Jiu yawned, lay down on the bed, and patted the place beside him, "Aji, come up quickly."
Lu Ji put the hair dryer in place and cleaned the bathroom before slowly coming over. At her urging, he slowly lay down on the bed and turned off the bedside lamp.
The room was plunged into darkness, with only a few spots of light leaking in through the gaps in the curtains.
Gu Jiu snuggled into his arms and found that his whole body was tense, as if he was restraining something.
"What's wrong?" She kissed his chin, her voice a little hoarse due to sleepiness, "Are you still bothered by what happened just now?"
Lu Ji hummed, rubbing his cheek against her neck, breathing in her scent, his eyes looking into the darkness ahead, his voice sounding particularly aggrieved, "Why didn't you let me kill him? Is it because he turned into my appearance?"
"Half and half."
"What's the other half?"
Gu Jiu realized that if she didn't give him an answer tonight, he would keep it in his heart forever, and she didn't know if it would hurt himself in the end. She would still feel distressed when that happened.
"He turned into you for one reason, and the other reason is those zombies tonight."
Lu Ji understood what she meant immediately, "Because they can make those zombies leave automatically and decipher the time of the death notice?"
Gu Jiu hummed, "From this point, we can see that the ghost groom in the sedan chair is quite powerful, and he should be able to control certain rules in the death notice."
How interesting! The ghost in the first death notice actually ran to the second death notice. She naturally had to figure out the relationship between these death notices and who issued them. Of course, she couldn't let him act impulsively.
Most importantly, she did not sense the ghost groom's murderous intent.
Or maybe it was not the right time yet, so he couldn't kill her. This alone made it worth her taking the gamble.
"You call him the ghost groom?" Lu Ji's voice was full of dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiu looked innocent, "It was Chai Yingying who called me, I just followed her."
It is better for me to die than to have a dead friend. At critical moments, good friends are there to take the blame. The young lady doesn't feel guilty at all.
Just when Gu Jiu thought that he had finally comforted his jealous boyfriend and his consciousness began to fall into a daze, he asked faintly: "When you were taking a shower just now, was it because of him that you didn't..."
This was a very subtle statement, but Gu Jiu still quickly understood what he meant.
Oh, the man who has always been so restrained that he would rather suffocate himself actually took the initiative. The eldest lady felt that it was worthy of praise, so she put aside her sleepiness, turned over and pressed on him.
The next day, Gu Jiu slept until noon.
The other players woke up early in the morning.
Although I went to bed very late last night, I was still thinking about the death notice on my phone. I was afraid that I would oversleep and miss it, so I didn't dare to sleep well.
Unfortunately, they waited for the whole morning, but no messages came on their phones.
Lu Ji went out to buy breakfast, and when he came back he saw Chai Yingying, Jiang Ze, Tan Lan and others standing in the corridor and talking. The group of people stared at him as he came back with breakfast.
"Bought it for the young lady?" Chai Yingying looked clear.
Lu Ji hummed, "Ajiu likes to eat the wonton noodles here."
When going out to look for food on the street last night, Gu Jiu particularly liked the wonton noodles from an old shop and said he wanted to go there again for breakfast today. Lu Ji remembered it and went to buy it early in the morning.
A group of people looked at him with subtle eyes, feeling deeply that he was such a caring and lovely "girlfriend".
Just looking at his face, I couldn't help but recall the stunning glimpse I got last night when the sedan chair curtain was blown up by the night wind. Somehow, I suddenly felt a little regretful.
If Lu Ji were a man, he would definitely be very handsome and charming, just like the ghost groom last night. They never thought that Lu Ji's face could be suitable for both boys and girls. When he was a girl, he was as pretty as a puppet doll, and when he was a man, he was handsome, elegant and graceful.
Some people even believe that he is the Ghost King.
Lu Ji glanced at them and was about to leave when Chai Yingying stopped him.
"Boss Lu, the ghost groom last night..." Shocked by his eyes, Chai Yingying wisely changed the subject, "The ghost in the sedan looks a lot like you. Is he the death trap set by the game world for the young lady this time?"
Lu Ji said: "Maybe."
"I guess that's it!" Chai Yingying said excitedly, "I suspect that the boss this time has actually figured out the strength of all the players and set up special death traps for each of us."
There is no doubt that Gu Jiu is a very powerful player. Chai Yingying has known her for so long that she doesn't even know where her limit is. She is so powerful and reliable that it makes people feel at ease. So after entering the game world, Gu Jiu became the targeted player and was given a ghost marriage, and the object of the ghost marriage was a powerful ghost.
Anyone who can welcome Gu Jiu into Youdu City must be at least at the level of Ghost King.
"That ghost groom said he would come to pick up Gu Jiu and take him to Youdu City in three days. Is that true?"
"It must be true. There's no need for him to joke about such things."
"This Youdu City should be a ghost town, right? If a living person enters a ghost town, one can imagine what will happen to him. It is indeed a death trap."
"… "
Seeing the excitement of these players, Lu Ji fell silent, turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Lin Laojiu came over and asked with a smile: "What plans do you have for today?"
This is the NPC who guides them in the game world. Although he is a very normal person, his every word and action is related to the player's mission.
Chai Yingying said: "We don't have any plans. We are waiting for you to help us arrange something."
Lin Laojiu smiled and said, "It depends on what you want to experience. Did you have a good experience in the ancient house yesterday? The ancient costumes you wore were very beautiful, and many people asked about your news."
He was talking about the tourists that other tour guides were in charge of. Those tourists were impressed by the players' appearance in ancient costumes, so they asked the tour guides, and those tour guides in turn asked about Lin Laojiu.
The players smiled reservedly, not taking it seriously.
After becoming a player, they go through various life and death tests, and train hard in the Unbounded City. After experiencing the tempering of spiritual energy, their temperament changes. Even if they look ordinary, they are superior to ordinary people. Not to mention B-level players, as long as they have a decent appearance, they can also become average handsome men and beautiful women under the tempering of the spiritual energy of the Unbounded City.
It is normal for ordinary people to be attracted by them when they see them.
Lin Laojiu arranged several programs for them today. In addition to the ancient house, there are also ancient pagodas, horse riding, boating and so on.
Seeing that there were no messages on the phone, the players lost interest in these things, so they told Lin Laojiu that they wanted to move freely today and asked him to come back tomorrow.
After Lin Laojiu left, the player decided to go out and test the death notice on his phone.
**
After Gu Jiu woke up, he learned that the other players had all gone out.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lu Ji said nonchalantly: "There was no death notice on the phone, so I didn't call you and let you sleep more." He looked at her straight, his eyes restrained and forbearing.
Gu Jiu was putting on clothes. She turned her head to look at him and smiled with her lips slightly raised.
Lu Ji coughed lightly and asked shyly, "Ajiu, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to continue resting?"
"Not bad." Gu Jiu put on his clothes, "Don't lose control next time."
Lu Ji nodded obediently, and felt relieved to see that she moved freely.
Gu Jiu also felt relieved. She felt that she still doted on her boyfriend very much. Seeing him act like this, she didn't despise him and even allowed him to continue.
When Gu Jiu was sitting on the sofa eating wonton noodles, Lu Ji sat next to her and suddenly asked, "Ajiu, is this bad for me?"
"Not bad." Seeing that he was obviously not confident, Gu Jiu said, "Really, I like you like this."
It's fun for her boyfriend to do it, she understands that.
Lu Ji smiled, held her in his arms affectionately, hiding the darkness in his eyes.
A bowl of wonton noodles only filled her stomach a little but didn't make her feel full, so Gu Jiu took her boyfriend out to find food.
After finishing their lunch, the two walked around the ancient town hand in hand.
There is a seven-story ancient tower on the central street of the ancient town. When the two of them walked here, they saw many young couples climbing the tower together, so they decided to climb the tower as well.
As soon as I entered the tower, my ears sensitively caught the ding-dong sound of a message alert from the mobile phone in my pocket.
The two of them walked to the side calmly and took out their phones to check.
Ghost tower ghost baby.
When Gu Ji saw the message on the mobile phone clearly, a cold wind blew over, making his feet cold. At the same time, he found that Lu Ji beside him was gone. He seemed to be squeezed away by the crowd, and seemed to be pulled into another timeline of the death notice.
The death notices on players’ mobile phones are different, and the time and space they are in are also different.
Obviously, the death notices on her and Lu Ji’s mobile phones were different this time.
Gu Jiu put his phone back into his pocket and observed the tourists around him.
As she watched, she realized that these tourists were not human at all, but ghosts.
The sky outside had become gloomy and covered with dark clouds. The light inside the tower became dimmer and dimmer, and the temperature inside the tower became even colder.
Gu Jiu stood there and watched for a while, then finally walked up the tower.
The ghosts around seemed unaware that they were ghosts, nor did they know that a human had sneaked in among them. They still went up and down the tower, walked around naturally, and enjoyed the scenery inside the tower.
Gu Jiu walked all the way up, observing carefully at each floor, but he did not see the ghost baby in the ghost tower.
