Gu Jiu and his friends kept watch from noon to dinner time, but still did not see the ghost in the room appear.
The ghostly landlord brought out pots of bloody porridge from the kitchen and called out to the players to come over for dinner. Even if the players didn't want to eat, he would still serve them.
The players ignored him and looked in the direction of Gu Jiu.
The two of them were sitting in the aisle in front of the empty room. The aisle was connected to the living room. Standing in the living room, one could see them by looking over there.
The landlord walked over and asked gloomily, "What are you doing?"
Gu Jiu was annoyed with him the most. If the time hadn't come yet, he would have wanted to beat him up. He immediately turned to him and said, "What does what we do have to do with you? Can't we sit here? Even if you are the landlord, you can't control where we sit, right?"
The landlord was choked.
Even in a game world without logic, certain rules must be followed. The rules do not say that the landlord does not allow players to do such things, but the landlord does not like Gu Jiu, and no matter what she does, he is unhappy.
The landlord had no choice but to say, "It's dinner time, you should go have dinner."
"It's okay for me to eat here." Gu Jiu still didn't forget to scold him, "You're not going to control where I eat dinner, are you?"
In this game world, there is no requirement for players to sit at the dining table to eat. Even if the players don't eat, it doesn't matter. Otherwise, the landlord would have forced them to eat instead of slamming food bowls in the kitchen.
It's obvious at first glance that he's an NPC without power.
The landlord stared at her gloomily, then, not knowing what he was thinking, he said in a good mood: "It's up to you. I hope you have a good sleep tonight."
"As long as you don't get in front of me and get in the way, and let me see your low-life face, I can sleep well."
The young lady, who was very eloquent, once again angered the landlord and drove him away.
When the other players saw this, they all realized that she was just looking for trouble. She just disliked the landlord and would scold him as long as he showed up.
After the landlord left, Gu Jiu took out bread and water and sat there eating while staring.
The food and water stored in Gu Jiu's bag had been distributed, and Ying Tong distributed the food to everyone.
The fat man pulled his brother over and squatted to eat bread. While eating, he asked, "Girl, why didn't the ghost show up today?"
Gu Jiu nodded casually and asked them if they had noticed anything unusual today.
"Nothing." The fat man said helplessly, "In previous game worlds, we all hoped that ghosts would not appear. In this game world, we hoped that they would appear, but only a few appeared... By the way, sister, do you think there are seven ghosts in this room, corresponding to the seven sheep?"
The players are not stupid either. They have realized that the "seven" in "seven sheep" may correspond to seven ghosts.
As for this "sheep", perhaps it is related to the monster with a sheep's head and a human body in the dream.
So this copy has nothing to do with the story of "The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats" that Wen Xiuxiu mentioned earlier.
"Maybe." Gu Jiu did not give a definite answer. After all, there were only a few known ghosts, and he was not completely sure. "We'll see what happens tonight, and maybe we'll know."
The fat man asked with interest: "How do you see the situation?"
Gu Jiu was drinking water and had no time to answer.
"Is it a dream?" The thin man suddenly said, "Miss Gu, do you suspect that the monster with a sheep's head and a human body in the dream is the key?"
Gu Jiu swallowed the water and said seriously: "It's not a doubt, it must be the key."
After dinner, Gu Jiu looked at the time and said to Fatty and the others, "Let's go take a shower first. You stay here and don't stare at me."
Both fat brothers responded.
The other players were stunned. They didn't expect that she would still be in the mood to take a shower at this time.
For a sophisticated young lady, if she has the conditions, why not take a bath? She is used to taking a bath every day, and she doesn't want to wrong herself even in the game world.
She pulled Lu Ji along and asked Ying Tong and Wen Xiuxiu to go take a shower.
The ghost in the bathroom was swallowed by the paper frog. The four people did not encounter any accidents when taking a bath. After finishing successfully, they let the male players take a bath.
Maybe they were influenced by Gu Jiu, or they knew there would be no ghosts causing trouble in the bathroom, so all the male players went to take a shower tonight.
After they finished taking a shower, they heard the evening bell ringing, reminding the players to return to their rooms to rest.
Seeing that Gu Jiu and Lu Ji were still guarding the door, Ying Tong asked, "Aren't you going back to your room to rest?"
Gu Jiu: "I'm going to wait for the ghost to come out. I don't believe I can't stop the ghost!"
Everyone: “…” Miss, it’s getting dark, don’t be stubborn.
There is an unwritten rule in the D-level game world. If the NPC in the game specifically reminds you, it is best not to leave the room easily after dark, otherwise it is easy to trigger the death mechanism.
The other players did not dare to joke with their lives and hurried back to their rooms.
In the end, only the fat brother and his two brothers stayed behind to accompany the two girls out of loyalty. However, the fat brother was also very scared. He used his huge body to squeeze his skinny brother and pinched his arm with his fat hands.
The thin guy wanted to kick him out, "Don't you know your own weight?"
The fat man said confidently: "It's not that I want to eat like this. It's just that I have too many drugs and hormones. I can't do anything about it."
Gu Jiu suddenly asked: "You are brothers, why are your body sizes so different? Are you sick?"
The fat guy and the thin guy are brothers from the same father and mother. The fat guy Lin Bufan is the older brother and the thin guy Lin Buqi is the younger brother. They are only two years apart in age, but their body shapes are completely opposite, which looks abnormal at first glance.
"Yes." The fat man didn't think there was anything wrong with talking about this kind of thing. "We were normal when we were young. Once we had a car accident and our parents died on the spot. After we were treated, we became like this because of the drug reaction..."
When talking about this, the two brothers looked calm.
"Sorry." Gu Jiu looked apologetic, feeling that he shouldn't ask such questions.
The fat man waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile: "It's been more than ten years since the incident happened, and we have almost forgotten it. I originally thought that my two brothers would have to live like this for the rest of our lives, like buns with chopsticks, but we didn't expect to be suddenly pulled into the game world. Although the game world is quite dangerous, if we can enter the advanced game field in the future, our bodies will return to normal, which can also be considered a kind of luck..."
In real life, it is difficult for their physical condition to return to normal, but the game world can help them recover.
Gu Jiu thought to herself that it seemed that the brothers’ situation was the same as hers. Once they became players in the advanced gaming field, they would have a chance to return to normal.
The game of all heavens brings both despair and hope.
While Gu Jiu was lost in thought, the world became quiet.
This kind of silence does not mean the silence without human voice, but a kind of silent darkness that envelops the whole world and forces it to be silent.
Gu Jiu looked up and found that he was the only one left around. The fat brothers and Lu Ji were gone.
At this moment, she was still sitting in front of the empty room. In addition to the chair she was sitting on, there was another empty chair beside her. The aisle was quiet. Although the lights in the living room were still on, it seemed extremely far away.
Gu Jiu took a calm look and still sat there calmly without any movement.
Da da da!
A crisp sound of footsteps was heard. The sound was like the sound of high heels stepping on the ground, and it was particularly clear in the silent darkness.
Gu Jiu looked towards the stairs and saw the sound coming from there.
But she still didn't get up and stood guard at the door.
The footsteps in the stairwell kept lingering, sometimes far away, sometimes near. When it was far away, it seemed to be in the stairwell, and sometimes it seemed to be on the first floor. When it was near, it seemed to be next to my ears, following me like a shadow.
Gu Jiu's eyebrows were calm, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but he remained unmoved.
Suddenly, a click sound was heard in the empty room. Gu Jiu then slowly stood up and walked into the empty room.
In the empty room, the windows were wide open and a night breeze blew in, blowing up the garbage on the ground.
A look of disgust appeared on Gu Jiu's face, and his eyes were fixed on the mysterious red light hovering on the window.
This time the ghosts did not reveal any trace, but her eyes were psychic eyes and could see the strange red light emanating from the ghosts. It had no effect on her whether they showed up or not.
"Will you come over here yourself, or will you let me?"
Gu Jiu looked at the ghost with a smile. The fingers hanging by his side became pointed and long, and as red as blood. With his lips hooked in a smile, he looked more like a murderous ghost than the ghost lurking at the window.
The ghost blew up a gust of wind again, and the garbage was pushed to Gu Jiu's feet.
Gu Jiu's face darkened instantly. He kicked away an empty plastic bottle that was rolling over, strode towards the window, grabbed the ghost wrapped in the mysterious red light, and pulled it down.
The banshee's armor sank into the ghost, the mysterious red light faded away, and the ghost's figure appeared.
This is a young ghost, and his appearance is better than the ghosts we met today. If his pale face and complexion were restored, he would look like a normal and cute child.
Gu Jiu did not let him go just because the ghost was still a little kid, and carried him out.
However, she did not hurt the little ghost. The banshee armor only made him reveal his true form. When the little ghost found that he could not break free, he let her carry him out as if he accepted his fate.
When I walked out of the room, the disappeared fat brothers and Lu Ji were standing there intact.
The two fat brothers looked at her in confusion at first, and when they saw the little ghost in her hand, they were surprised and puzzled and asked: "Sister, what's going on? Why did this ghost suddenly appear?"
Gu Jiu threw the little ghost in his hand to Lu Ji, letting the paper frog swallow it, and asked them: "What did you just experience?"
The fat man immediately said, "We were just talking, and suddenly you disappeared. Then I heard footsteps in the stairwell, which was very scary." He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I knew we must have encountered a ghost wall again, so we didn't dare to run around, and stayed here. As expected, sister, you didn't let us down, and we soon got out of the ghost area."
The fat man sincerely praised Gu Jiu, thinking that the scene just now must have been caused by the little devil in the room, who was trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "There is indeed a ghost in the stairwell, and it is different from the little ghost just now."
The fat man's heart was lifted, and he asked timidly: "Then are we going to catch ghosts?"
"No need." Gu Jiu took out a bottle of water to wash his hands, and said as he washed, "It's too late, let's go back to bed."
"Sleep? I'm afraid that if I fall asleep I will meet that monster with a sheep's head and a human body again." The fat man made a bitter face and looked at his brother. They all decided to stay up tonight and it would be best not to sleep.
They don't have that many red creeper seeds to save themselves.
Gu Jiu didn't say anything. After saying good night to them, he went back to the room with Lu Ji.
After returning to the room, Gu Jiu took off his shoes, got on the bed, and patted his side.
"Aji, come up quickly. Let's do a test tonight."
Lu Ji followed her words and got on the bed, and asked in confusion: "What do you want to test?"
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Let's test how to defeat the monster with a goat's head and a human body! Each player only has four red creeper grains. Last night, all the players were caught off guard and used two, so the remaining two are useless. And today is the second night, the monster with a goat's head and a human body must be stronger, and the red creeper grains may not be able to deal with it."
The ghosts and monsters in the game world all have one characteristic: as time goes by after players enter the game world, the ghosts and monsters will become stronger, making it difficult for players to deal with them.
Lu Ji frowned and said, "Then you better be careful."
She did not persuade Gu Jiu not to take the risk. She knew that this was the path Gu Jiu was determined to take. She could only stay with her and watch her fall asleep quickly.
