When the bell rang, signaling the arrival of night, the players looked at Gu Jiu hesitantly.
Gu Ji tilted his head to look at the stairs leading to the first floor, his expression somewhat bored and lazy. He sat as if he had no bones, leaning towards Lu Ji, doing whatever he wanted to do to feel comfortable.
In contrast to her, Lu Ji sat very upright with her back straight. If one did not look at her pale and sickly face, one would think that she was a very energetic girl with good upbringing, which could be seen from her sitting posture, which revealed a mysterious charm.
Seeing that Gu Jiu was leaning most of his weight on the girl, everyone didn't know for a moment whether they should remind her that Lu Ji was a sickly girl... But it seemed that apart from looking a little sick, Lu Ji didn't show any signs of weakness.
On the contrary, the eldest daughter looks quite delicate, making it hard to blame her.
"Ms. Gu, have you really made up your mind?" Ying Tong asked.
Gu Jiu's eyes were still fixed on the direction of the stairs. Without turning his head, he said, "Yes, I don't like to escape. It's better to go straight up."
When everyone heard this, it became like: Don't be timid, just do it!
The players' mouths twitched when they heard this, and they really wanted to say, this is not a matter of escaping or not, right? It is a smart choice, avoiding the boss of the game world and choosing a safer way to pass the level.
As if he knew what these people were thinking, Gu Jiu finally turned to look at them and said with a smile: "If you feel unsure, you can go back to your room and don't worry about me."
She has her own way of getting through the game, but she won't force others to do the same.
Hearing this, many people showed hesitation on their faces.
Should I hide in the room and spend the last night, or follow her to fight the boss of the game
Now they are faced with two choices. According to the players' mentality, it is safer to hide in the room and survive the last night. But hiding in the room does not mean safety. It is also possible that they will not survive and die in the game.
No matter what, it's safer than confronting the boss directly, right
The fat man pulled his brother and said, "We won't go back to the room, we'll do it with you!"
The thin man said nothing, obviously supporting his brother.
In fact, both brothers recalled the last night in the "Cursed Village" copy. When the players were hesitating whether to act at night, Wu Yang and Gu Jiu had already made a decision. Although the process was a bit dangerous, it was passed smoothly.
They believed in Gu Jiu, and Gu Jiu would not easily joke about his own life.
Instead of hiding in the room and not knowing whether they could survive the night, it would be better to follow her and fight. They had great confidence in Gu Jiu.
Seeing that the two brothers chose to follow Gu Jiugan without hesitation, the other players began to waver again.
They didn't want to take risks, but what if Gu Jiu had some other cards up his sleeve? Maybe taking risks would be safer than hiding in the room.
At this time, they heard Ying Tong say: "I'm with you too."
The other players looked at her in surprise. They didn't expect Ying Tong to make such a decision. They thought Ying Tong was a cautious person and she should choose a more cautious way to pass the level instead of being crazy and bold like Gu Jiu.
Facing everyone's attention, Ying Tong smiled and said, "I believe Miss Gu. Besides, Miss Gu has explained the truth of the game so clearly today. The rest depends on whether we dare. We are about to upgrade to the C-level game field. I haven't tried to kill the boss yet. I also want to experience it once."
The last few words were said in a teasing tone, and the relaxed tone also told everyone that she was ready, and whether she succeeded in the end or not, it was her own choice.
Seeing that Lian Yingtong had decided to follow the eldest lady, the other players quickly decided to follow them.
After all, in a dangerous gaming world, sometimes it is safer to act together than alone, but due to the lack of trust between players, they rarely act together.
If you really encounter the danger of death, you can gather together and have company, so you won't be so scared and death won't be too painful.
Seeing that the official players have decided to follow them, the newcomers will of course choose to follow them closely.
When new players enter the game for the first time, they don’t know anything, so the safest thing for them is to follow the official players. They are also lucky because the official players on the same field with them do not treat the new players as cannon fodder, but instead try their best to protect their lives.
For newcomers, the first game is equivalent to a test of them in the Zhutian Game. If they pass it successfully, they can become official players.
Often, the way they clear the first game also determines their performance in the game world in the future.
Seeing that they all decided to stay, Gu Jiu smiled slightly, not seeming too surprised.
A group of players sat at the dining table in the living room, waiting for the time to come.
The players were too nervous to communicate with each other. Silence enveloped the ominous darkness. Some players even followed Gu Jiu and stared in the direction of the stairs leading to the first floor.
As the player watched, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Someone looked towards the seat next to him and discovered that the seat in front of the dining table that was occupied by thirteen people just now was now empty, and he was the only one left sitting there all alone.
At the same time, a deeper darkness spread silently, and the whole world fell silent, entering a subtle state.
Da da da!
Clear footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.
The player looked stiffly in the direction of the stairs. It was dark there and he couldn't see anything clearly.
The light in the living room was dim. Although it was not too bright, it had not been turned off by accident. However, the light could only illuminate the area in front of the stairs and could not go any further.
It was as if someone was walking up from the first floor, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, so close that they seemed to be ringing next to my ears.
The player sat there stiffly, cold sweat oozing from his forehead. It was a slightly cool night, but he was sweating profusely.
Although they had learned from the fat man during the day that there was a ghost in the stairwell, now that the ghost's territory had separated all the players, the fear that had been pent up in their hearts followed them like a shadow, making the players almost collapse.
But I didn't have the courage to explore the stairwell.
All the players had similar reactions. They couldn't see each other's existence, and instead became more and more frightened.
There were also people like Ying Tong who bravely went forward, but when they arrived at the stairwell, it was too dark and she could not see clearly what was going on on the stairs until a cold hand grabbed her ankle. The cold breath penetrated her skin through the fabric, making her shiver violently and her feet felt stiff.
Not only the feet, but the whole body also became stiff, and the fingers gradually became unable to move.
Ying Tong stood there stiffly, only his eyes moving wildly, full of anxiety.
The ghost in the stairwell was obviously stronger than the other ghosts. She was in trouble even before she showed up.
Just as Ying Tong was anxiously thinking of a way to escape, a crisp snap of fingers was heard.
The snap was exceptionally loud, not only releasing the negative state of her body and allowing her to resume movement, but also restoring the world shrouded in silent darkness to normal.
The players who had just disappeared reappeared.
Ying Tong slowly turned his head and saw the players sitting at the dining table. The expressions on their faces were terrified, with cold sweats pouring out of them. Some even tried to run away. The fat man had already climbed onto the table and was squatting there like a monkey.
With just one glance, Ying Tong discovered that two people were missing.
It’s Gu Jiu and Lu Ji.
"Ajiu, is it okay?" A calm voice sounded.
Ying Tong turned her head suddenly and saw Lu Ji standing not far away. She stood against the wall, her body straight, like a ghost, quiet and silent. If she didn't make a sound, people would almost ignore her existence.
Gu Jiu's voice sounded at the bottom of the stairs, "Okay, all of you come down."
Lu Ji took two steps and suddenly remembered something. He turned to the group of people still sitting at the table and said, "We can go now. Don't you want to leave?"
Having said that, she ignored these people and walked down past Ying Tong at the stairs.
Ying Tong reacted and quickly followed her.
"Come on! Let's hurry up and catch up!" The fat man jumped off the table nimbly and said excitedly, "It seems that Sister Jiu has subdued the ghost in the stairwell. Let's go and take a look!"
The other players woke up as if from a dream and struggled to get up.
After the scare just now, their bodies were very weak, but seeing that everyone had left, no one dared to stay here alone and hurried to follow.
The stairs in this house are so narrow that two people can barely walk side by side, so the players go up and down the stairs alone.
Gu Jiu stood in the middle of the stairs with a flashlight on his waist. The light of the flashlight shone on his feet, and there was a figure standing beside him.
The woman had black hair like a waterfall, eyebrows and eyes like a painting, and she was wearing a professional suit, dressed like an urban lady. She was also very beautiful, and would definitely attract the attention of men when she walked on the street. However, her skin was pale, her facial features were stiff, and no matter how beautiful her appearance was, it was covered by a ghostly aura.
It looks like a ghost at first glance!
Lu Ji walked over without changing his expression, looking indifferently at the ghost dressed as an urban lady. An aura darker than that of ghosts was pressing towards the female ghost.
The female ghost standing next to Gu Jiu inexplicably moved to the side and watched the sickly girl stand next to Gu Jiu.
The other players' eyes fell on the female ghost, and their hearts were about to explode.
This female ghost looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.
The fat man asked in surprise: "Girl, was it you just... "
Before he finished speaking, he realized that he had asked a nonsense question. Gu Jiu was standing here. Who else could break the domain of this female ghost except her? Looking at this female ghost standing here quietly, she didn't even attack the player. The fat man looked at Gu Jiu with admiration.
The others also looked at Gu Jiu in awe, and suddenly felt that facing the boss was not so scary.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gu Jiu said, "Okay, let's go down."
Gu Jiu walked down first, Lu Ji walked beside her, and the female ghost followed the two of them silently. The other players looked at the female ghost's back and once again felt a deep respect for Gu Jiu.
This girl is a ruthless person who can even subdue ghosts. It makes me feel so safe to play games with her.
If I had thought that she was able to subdue the ghosts with props when I saw her letting the paper frog swallow the ghosts, but now looking at the ghost girl's reaction, it was not subdued by props at all. How did she do it
Full of doubts, the players came to the first floor.
As soon as they reached the first floor, they heard the landlord's annoying voice, "You all came, I'm just hungry, hehe..."
"Hey, your head!" Gu Jiu cursed in disgust, "Put away your teeth and saliva, or I'll tear you apart alive."
The players looked towards the living room on the first floor. When they saw the landlord's appearance, they understood why Gu Jiu scolded him like that. The landlord was walking on all fours, like an animal. On his skull-like face, his forehead, cheekbones, and jawbone became more and more prominent. His teeth could no longer fit in his mouth and protruded out of his lips. He looked like a monster no matter how you looked at him.
Yellow saliva dripped from between the teeth and gathered on the ground into a small pool of sticky liquid.
The landlord fixed Gu Jiu with a resentful and fierce look and rushed towards her fiercely.
Without waiting for Gu Jiu to react, the female ghost following behind her floated out lightly, strangled the landlord's mouth with one hand, and violently pulled out the landlord's protruding teeth with the other slender hand.
“Ahh—”
The landlord let out a shrill scream and shook his head wildly, but the hand that was holding his chin was like an iron rod and he could not move at all.
This female ghost is so ferocious.
The players felt sorry for the landlord as they watched his teeth being pulled out one by one.
Gu Jiu watched this scene with great interest, and said with a smile: "Look, someone taught you a lesson without me even having to do anything. It seems that you are really a failure if you are alive."
The landlord was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
The female ghost swiftly pulled out all the teeth in the landlord's mouth. Those teeth were no longer normal human teeth, but the sharp fangs of some animal.
The landlord whose teeth had been pulled out was like a toothless vicious dog, unable to hurt anyone anymore.
Even in this situation, Gu Jiu didn't let him go. She took a little ghost out of the paper frog and said to it, "This guy must be your enemy. You can deal with him yourself."
The imp's eyes turned bloodshot as he threw himself on the landlord's back and tore at his flesh with his teeth.
The landlord let out a shrill scream, his limbs moving around everywhere, and he shook his back desperately, trying to throw the kid off his back, but the kid was clinging very firmly and there was no way he could throw him off.
The landlord's tears and snot were all running down his face, and he was crying and begging for mercy: "Please let me go, I deserve to die..."
Gu Jiu propped up his chin and said with a smile: "Look, now you are the one kneeling and begging for mercy. Didn't I say that?"
“That’s right, that’s right, I was kneeling down to beg for mercy, please let me go…” The landlord cried and begged, his limbs on the ground, the way he looked really like he was kneeling down to beg for mercy.
Gu Jiu felt even better as he watched the little devil tear off the landlord's flesh piece by piece.
The players present didn't know what to say.
It was the first time they had seen an NPC being abused so badly. In the past, it was always the NPCs who abused the players. When would it be the players' turn to abuse the NPCs? The more arrogant the landlord was before, the more miserable he was now.
It was not until the landlord lay dying on the ground that Gu Jiu said leisurely, "Since you have chosen to become an accomplice of the cannibal, you should know that there will be retribution. Xiaopeng, has he ever eaten your flesh?"
The little ghost who jumped off the landlord's back nodded silently.
The people present looked at the landlord and the little ghost in surprise, and their eyes fell on the quiet female ghost next to them. Suddenly, they remembered how the female ghost had pulled out the landlord's teeth just now. Could it be that the landlord had eaten the flesh of these ghosts
So, the landlord is now getting his comeuppance.
These ghosts were originally trapped in a certain area and could not leave. As long as the landlord did not enter the place where they were, he would not be attacked by the ghosts. But at this moment, Gu Jiu actually brought all these ghosts out, so the landlord suffered retribution.
