When Ruan Yuan and Lu Haidi came over again, Wan Xingzhou, who had washed himself, also followed.
Wan Xingzhou looks to be in his early twenties. He is very good-looking, a handsome boy with red lips and white teeth. Perhaps because he is unlucky and has always been unlucky, his eyes are always filled with confusion and aggrieved look, making him look particularly pitiful.
If it weren't for his pitiful appearance, Gu Jiu would not have endured the smell of blood on his body.
Even Ruan Yuan and Lu Haidi felt sorry for him when they saw his pitiful appearance.
It can be said that Wan Xingzhou has a natural advantage with his appearance. At least some people with a conscience would feel sorry for him when they see his pitiful appearance, and would be willing to do things that are a piece of cake for them and would be of great help to Wan Xingzhou.
This is also what Gu Jiu said, he seems to be unlucky but also lucky.
Seeing him coming over eagerly, Ruan Yuan asked casually, "What are you doing here? Why don't you rest in your room?"
Wan Xingzhou: "I, I'm clean, come over and show it to Miss Gu..."
Ruan Yuan looked at him in surprise, "What's so good about it?"
Wan Xingzhou: “…” Actually, he didn’t know what was so good about it, he just washed himself and ran over here.
Wan Xingzhou's reaction left everyone present speechless.
What made them even more speechless was that he himself didn't know what he had done. He just stood there confused and aggrieved, like an abandoned puppy, looking increasingly pitiful.
Ruan Yuan felt a little soft-hearted, "Okay, okay, whatever you want."
After she finished speaking, she realized that her reaction was wrong. He was just a player on the same field. What did his behavior have to do with her
Lu Ji narrowed his eyes and stared at Wan Xingzhou. He originally thought that he was a stupid and dumb man, but he was too good at winning the favor of women, right? What if the young lady was soft-hearted, would she pull him to her side just like she pulled herself in
It is very possible!
The tasks that Ruan Yuan and the others brought for other players tomorrow were surprisingly related. They either played the roles of servants in the castle, or the castle's tutors and craftsmen. The tasks were all related to Madam Helan.
Although the player's tasks in the past few days are also related to Madam Helan, this is the first time that their tasks are connected.
"Their mission time is around 13:00 tomorrow."
Tomorrow at 13:00 is the time for Mrs. Helan to meet her lover.
Wan Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, looking at Gu Jiu in surprise, "I, I seem to understand why your mission has nothing to do with Madam Helan, because your mission time is 4:00 in the morning. Under normal circumstances, you will not be able to survive the summoning ceremony."
After excluding the one who couldn't survive, the rest were gathered together.
Gu Jiu smiled, turned around and asked Ruan Yuan, "What are the reactions of other players?"
Ruan Yuan said honestly: "I exchanged information about the fifth floor of the castle with them. They thought it was the fifth floor shooting mission that Lu Ge and I had done. They revealed that they wanted to cooperate with us."
It was also Gu Jiu who suggested that we choose to exchange the information on the fifth level with other players.
Among the information players currently have, the information on the fifth floor of the castle is the most useful. This information can also be used to contact other players. It is best to unite the remaining players. It would be even better if cooperation can be reached.
Gu Jiu was quite satisfied. "Go and tell them that the mission will be at 4:00 in the morning. If they are interested, they can go and watch it."
Ruan Yuan didn't know what she was going to do. The shooting task at 4:00 in the morning was simply hellish in difficulty, and there was no possibility of escape no matter how she looked at it.
But looking at Gu Jiu's expression, he doesn't seem to be that worried
Although she really wanted to ask, she knew she wouldn't tell her, so Ruan Yuan was too lazy to ask. She would know when the time came anyway.
"Well, we'll go inform them later."
After the two finished talking, Ruan Yuan took her boyfriend away, and Wan Xingzhou also tactfully followed them.
Because there was a filming task at 4:00 in the morning, Gu Jiu decided to go to bed early tonight.
Seeing Lu Ji busying himself sitting by the bed, she leaned over and asked, "Aji, what are you doing?"
His shoulder was gently resting on her chin, and Lu Ji's body stiffened for a moment, especially the faint fragrance from her body that kept rushing to her nose, making her feel dizzy, as if even her thoughts had stopped.
"I'll fold some paper cranes for you."
This was what Lu Ji had promised Gu Jiu after seeing the thousand paper cranes being torn apart by a black figure on the fifth floor of the castle in the morning. However, he was too busy that day and only now did he have time to fold the thousand paper cranes.
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Thank you, Aji."
The laughter softly poured into his eardrums, and this time even his thoughts seemed to be taken away. He could only move mechanically. When Lu Ji reacted, he found that he had not only folded several paper cranes, but also a lot of small paper figures and frogs.
Lu Ji stuffed all the folded things into her hands and lay down with the quilt.
Gu Jiu: "Aji, is that too much?"
"Not much. They are just disposable paper anyway. You can use them to block any danger..."
Lu Ji's voice came muffled from under the quilt, and he also explained that these paper objects were different from the ones she was using. These paper objects had a single function and could only protect their owners from damage. They could not tear apart or swallow ghosts.
After hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed again, put all the paper objects into his bag, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt wrapped around a certain girl, and said with a smile: "Aji, don't sleep with your head covered, it's not good for your health."
Lu Ji's face flushed as he pulled away the quilt that was wrapped around his head, but he still had his back to her.
Seeing that Lu Ji obediently pulled down the quilt, Gu Jiu said nothing more and lay down to rest.
In less than ten minutes, her breathing became steady and she fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Ji listened to her steady breathing, slowly turned around and looked at the human who was sleeping peacefully next to him. The distance between them was very short, and he could touch her with just a hand.
Before entering the gaming world, neither of them were used to having someone on the other side of the bed.
However, after playing three or four games, sleeping together in every game world, they gradually got used to each other's presence. The distance between them became shorter and shorter, and they could even lie flat side by side and fall asleep peacefully.
Lu Ji really liked the feeling of lying together with their shoulders leaning against each other.
This made her feel that they were actually very close.
She slowly moved closer until her face was almost touching the other person's face, but she didn't dare to get any closer.
After a while, she blushed and shrank back to her original position. She was afraid that if she got any closer, she would kiss that person's soft and beautiful face, touch that fair and clean skin, and then reach out and hold her tightly in her arms...
They are not a couple, so they can't do this kind of thing.
…
With inexplicable regret and pity, Lu Ji slowly closed his eyes.
**
At 3:00 in the morning, Gu Jiu was awakened by the alarm clock.
Having gotten up in the early morning for two consecutive days, the young lady was in a very bad mood. When she walked out of the room, her face looked very bad. She had a cold face all the way and strode to the hall on the first floor. The thin windbreaker on her body formed an arc in the night.
In the hall on the first floor, there were not only Ruan Yuan, Lu Haidi and Wan Xingzhou, but also other players.
Looking around, all the surviving players appeared here. They were obviously very curious about the content of Gu Jiu's shooting mission, wondering whether she would really summon the "devil".
Gu Jiu glanced at these players casually and moved his gaze towards the hall.
The castle hall is very large, with dazzling crystal chandeliers hanging on the dome. The bright lights illuminate the castle, contrasting with the darkness outside the castle.
On the floor in the center of the hall, a hexagram pattern was drawn with bright red blood. In the pattern there were some strange runes that looked like tadpoles or winding reptiles. The bloody appearance was particularly horrifying.
I thought it was blood because of the smell of blood in the air.
The smell was as if someone had just been killed and a strange pattern was drawn on the ground with human blood.
This should be the summoning circle used to summon the devil and resurrect.
Gu Jiu sneered. Before she even took any action, the other party was already hurriedly preparing the summoning array for her, as if they were afraid that she would not summon the "devil".
She turned to look at Ruan Yuan and the others, "Was this thing here before you came?"
The three of them nodded, and Ruan Yuan pointed at the other players and said, "We are not the first to come. These people are the first to come."
Seeing Gu Jiu looking over, the other players pointed out the player who arrived at the first floor lobby first.
The first player to arrive on the first floor said: "When I came here, this pattern was already there, and I don't know who drew it."
Therefore, this pattern may have appeared by itself, or it may have been created by the only NPC housekeeper who has appeared in the castle so far, or it may have been drawn by a ghost hidden in the painting. In short, everything is possible.
The players present looked at Gu Jiu, wanting to know what she would do next.
Players must complete the shooting content on the task note. Even if they need to use a substitute card, they must use it during the task. It is impossible to use a substitute card to exit early.
Therefore, even if Gu Jiu wants to use the substitute card, she has to do it after she summons the devil.
But once the "devil" is summoned, will the stand card really be useful? When the "devil" is stronger than the boss in the game world, even the props can't resist it.
Ruan Yuan and the other two looked at Gu Jiu worriedly.
Gu Jiu acted very calm, even unhappy, and everyone present could see her unhappiness from her face.
Somehow, Ruan Yuan and the other two felt that the unhappy Gu Jiu's aura was very strong at this moment, and people inexplicably dared not look directly at her. Coupled with the demeanor she usually displayed, they felt that her background in the real world must be very good.
Ruan Yuan asked carefully: "Miss, are you unhappy now?"
Gu Jiu said: "Who can be happy if they wake up at 3:00 in the morning?"
Everyone: “…” This reason for being angry is really… speechless.
The players stood at the edge of the hall, waiting for the time to come.
They didn't dare to get too close for fear of being mistaken for a player about to be summoned. Some even felt unsafe and stood on the second floor to look down.
At 4:00 in the morning, the castle's tightly closed gate opened silently.
The castle gate was extremely heavy, but at this moment it seemed to be silently opened by a hand, and a cold wind blew in from the gate.
Everyone shivered in the wind, feeling the air become oppressive. An unspeakable feeling came over them, making them feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
They looked towards the center of the hall and found that Gu Jiu had walked step by step into the summoning circle drawn with blood.
Gu Jiu stood in the center of the summoning circle with his head down.
With a bang, the light from the crystal chandelier above went out, leaving only candles burning at the edge of the hall. The night wind blowing in from the door made the candles flicker, stretching out countless shadows. The whole scene was eerie and strange.
Suddenly, there was a roar of thunder outside the castle, followed by a sound of earth-shaking.
The players looked at the darkness outside the castle gate in horror. The strange visions outside came one after another, weighing on their hearts and making it almost impossible to breathe. They all had a premonition that something was about to appear.
Everyone's attention turned to Gu Jiu in the summoning circle.
The summoning circle was huge, occupying almost half of the hall. She stood there, the night wind blowing up her clothes. She was so weak and slender that she seemed like she would break if it was bent even slightly, and merge with the blood on the ground.
Outside the castle, there were rumbling thunder and earthquakes one after another, and the whole castle was shaking.
Everyone could feel that an extremely powerful force was descending upon the castle at this moment.
It was like a god descending.
The players' hearts tightened and they almost wanted to escape.
As a C-level player, the player who has experienced the most games here has even entered no less than ten C-level game worlds, but has never encountered such a terrifying momentum and power.
As expected, he is worthy of being a boss that transcends the gaming world.
The players were horrified but secretly glad at the same time that they were not the ones who got the mission note to summon the devil, otherwise they really wouldn't know how to escape this mission.
Just as they were thinking this, they suddenly saw Gu Jiu, who had been standing quietly in the center of the summoning circle, retreating at an extremely fast speed.
As she retreated, a giant hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the rag doll that appeared in the center of the summoning circle instead of Gu Jiu.
After the hand grabbed the rag doll, it realized that it had grabbed the wrong thing. An angry roar sounded in the void, but it was a pity that the hand was becoming transparent, so even if it knew it had grabbed the wrong sacrifice, it could do nothing.
After the hand completely disappeared, the castle finally returned to peace, the summoning circle drawn with blood on the ground disappeared, and the lights that had been extinguished lit up again.
Everything is normal, peaceful and quiet.
Everyone: “!!!” What happened just now
The author has something to say: Today is the second update
