With a "bang", the door was kicked open from the outside.
Wu Yang rushed in first, followed by Lin Dandan and the fat brothers, and finally Wang Peiping with a bandage on his neck. He didn't dare to squeeze in, for fear of facing the night attack ghost head-on.
He is injured now. If he is scratched by the ghost doll again, his neck will probably be broken.
Wang Peiping didn't care about the lives of the two newcomers. In his opinion, women who had just entered the game world were weak and timid, and it was easy for them to die in the game. If Gu Jiu and Lu Ji were killed by ghosts tonight, it would be normal.
Besides, he also felt a little gloating.
He was attacked by a ghost doll last night. Although it was later proved that it was not the rag doll that Gu Jiu brought back that did it, he was convinced that Gu Jiu had triggered some death mechanism, which was why he was unlucky enough to be the first person to be attacked by a ghost.
Tonight it was Gu Jiu's turn to be attacked. Things had changed and he could only be happy.
Wu Yang's eyes quickly swept across the room, and he didn't see any attacking ghosts, which made him a little surprised.
He turned his sight and saw Gu Jiu and Lu Ji, and asked hurriedly, "Are you okay?"
When the flashlight swept over, he could see two people, one sitting and one lying. Although their postures were a little awkward, they were both still alive, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Wu Yang is a veteran. Even though he was dragged into the dangerous game world and experienced several life-threatening games, his sense of responsibility was not diminished at all because of the game world. So every time he was on a mission, he would try his best to save people, not wanting anyone to die in the game world.
The others also saw the situation in the room clearly and were surprised that the two were still alive.
What surprised them even more was that there were no ghosts attacking them in the room. Instead, everything was calm and peaceful, as if the danger had passed.
The bedside table fell to the ground, the sheets were dragged off the bed, and there was a wooden stick broken into two pieces on the ground...
A stick? Where did the stick come from
Could it be that they used wooden sticks to fight back against the attacking ghosts and drove the ghosts away
Lu Ji held onto the edge of the bed and stood up shakily, his voice weak and frail: "It's okay, I'm still alive..."
When she stood up, she pulled up Gu Jiu who was still lying on the ground.
Although she looked like a pale and weak girl, she pulled the person on the ground up easily.
Gu Jiu sat on the edge of the bed, her thunderous heartbeat gradually subsided, and then the pain in her body became more and more obvious, as if her whole body was in pain, so painful that she could only purse her lips.
Seeing that something was not right with her, Wu Yang asked Lin Dandan to come over and check on her.
After Lin Dandan checked, she did not find any bloody scars on Gu Jiu's body and said, "He looks fine..." Compared with the scratches on Wang Peiping's neck, Gu Jiu was indeed fine.
Wang Peiping looked unbalanced.
They were all attacked, so how come Gu Jiu was so lucky that he didn’t even get scratched
The fat man pulled his brother over, used his chubby body to push Lin Dandan aside, and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"
Gu Jiu said faintly: "My whole body hurts."
"Are there any other injuries?" the fat man asked while looking at Lin Dandan.
Lin Dandan was immediately a little angry. What did he mean by this? Was he doubting her professionalism
Gu Jiu: "I was hit by that thing just now, and fell off the bed to the ground..." She had never been hit like this by anyone in her life, and fell off the bed to the ground, and her waist was almost broken.
Everyone: “…”
Seeing that she was fine, Wu Yang and Fatty felt relieved and asked what had attacked them tonight.
"It should be the same ghost doll that attacked Mr. Wang last night. Judging from its shape, it is also a ghost doll." Lu Ji replied.
After hearing the expected answer, everyone confirmed once again that the ghosts that hurt people in the Cursed Village copy were ghost dolls. If nothing unexpected happened, these ghost dolls should be related to the dolls in Grandma Wang's house.
"Where is the doll that Gu Jiu brought back?" Wang Peiping suddenly asked, "Didn't it react at all when you were attacked?"
Lin Dandan was also concerned about finding the rag doll. She had two guesses about it. She wanted to prove whether it was a man-eating ghost or an important tool given by the NPC.
The fat man picked up the fallen bedside table and saw the rag doll that was trapped underneath.
"Here."
He picked up the doll, looked at it in the light of the flashlight, and suddenly let out a cry.
The shout scared everyone. They thought something unexpected had happened again and subconsciously became alert. However, nothing happened. The fat man was just staring at the doll in his hand with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong?" Wu Yang came over.
The fat man didn't say anything and pushed the rag doll in front of him.
Wu Yang's gaze fell on the doll's face and saw that its facial features drooped, changing from a pleasing smile to an unhappy bitter face.
Wang Peiping and Lin Dandan also saw the change in the expression on the doll's face and were almost scared to death.
Although they already knew that the doll was not an ordinary doll, wasn't it too bad at hiding that it changed its expression in front of them
Wu Yang took the doll and looked at it for a while, then turned to ask Gu Jiu, "Miss Gu, when the ghost doll attacked you, was there anything abnormal with this doll?"
"I don't know." Gu Jiu was in so much pain that he didn't want to talk. He looked gloomy. "It was too dangerous at the time. I didn't pay attention."
"Where is the ghost doll that attacked you?" Wu Yang asked again.
The others also looked at her with confusion. The ghost doll that attacked them was very dangerous. Wu Yang had to rely on props to repel it last night. How did Gu Jiu and Lu Ji, two newcomers who had nothing, repel the ghost doll
"I don't know." Gu Jiu said lazily, "Maybe he noticed you guys coming and got scared away."
Wu Yang looked at her, then looked at Lu Ji who was standing indifferently beside the bed, and felt that things should not be that simple.
The two girls were both newcomers and had absolutely no tools to fight against ghosts. Normally, if they encountered such a situation, they would die if others did not rescue them in time. But both of them survived, and even when he came over, the ghost doll that attacked them had disappeared.
Lin Dandan and the fat brother couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu and the others inquiringly.
Only Wang Peiping thought that they were really lucky, and sneered: "I think it's true. Brother Wu used the blood talisman to attack last night, and it must have hurt the ghost doll. When it sensed Brother Wu coming, it was scared away."
This is the only explanation.
Wu Yang did not investigate further. He was lucky to be alive. He put the doll on the bedside table and said to Gu Jiu and the others, "Based on what happened last night, since there has been a ghost attack tonight, the second half of the night should be safe. You should have a good rest."
The fat man picked up two pieces of sticks on the ground and asked curiously: "Girl, where did these sticks come from?"
Gu Jiu said calmly: "I found it in Old Li's yard and placed it next to the bed to prevent accidents." It turned out to be somewhat useful.
Wu Yang and the others looked at her in disbelief.
I originally thought she was a useless young lady, but I didn't expect that she would think of getting a wooden stick to defend herself in front of the bed. Seeing that the stick was broken into two pieces, and the bedside table had fallen down before, it can be inferred that she used the stick to attack ghosts at that time.
"Is it useful?" the fat man asked again.
"It was a little useful on the first strike."
The way the group of people looked at her changed. They found that the seemingly useless Miss Jiao was quite rough. Even Lin Dandan and Wang Peiping, who originally looked down on Gu Jiu, changed their impression of her.
After Kaiyang and the others left, the house became quiet, with the light of the flashlight shining on the wall.
Lu Ji originally wanted to lie down and rest, but seeing Gu Jiu still sitting there, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Gu Jiu looked at her dimly, "My whole body aches, and I can't move."
Lu Ji: “…”
"You go to sleep first, I'll take care of it later." Gu Jiu gave her a strong yet pale smile, but his eyes were staring at her.
Lu Ji felt that she would not be able to rest if she looked at him like this, so he had to help her lie down. Listening to her faint gasps, he realized how delicate this woman was.
"My waist hurts." Gu Jiu gasped, "I was hit in the waist just now."
Lu Ji looked at her waist. She was wearing a bohemian-style long skirt with a dark blue belt with small floral patterns tied around her waist, which accentuated her slender waist.
"Can you help me massage it?" Gu Jiu asked, gasping for breath, "The area from the right side to the lower back is the most painful here."
Lu Ji really wanted to say no, but after hesitating for a moment, he slowly reached out his hand, and his pale face suddenly became more colourful.
The place where she was hit was slowly massaged by a cold hand. After half an hour, the pain that made her breathless finally disappeared.
Gu Jiu fell asleep slowly. Before falling asleep, she did not forget to thank Lu Ji for helping her just now.
Hearing her steady breathing, Lu Ji silently withdrew his hand and stared at his hand in the dark for a long time.
**
The next day, when it was bright, Gu Jiu got up slowly.
When she woke up, Lu Ji was no longer in the room and everyone else had left long ago.
Her body still felt uncomfortable, especially her waist which was hit by the ghost doll. It was numb and painful. She lifted her skirt and turned her head to take a look. Not surprisingly, she saw a large blue bruise on her fair skin, which contrasted with her fair and delicate skin and was shocking.
Gu Jiu packed herself up slowly and walked to the village chief's house like a little old lady.
The village chief's house was empty. The village chief and his wife were not there. Gu Jiu couldn't find anything to eat in the village chief's house and suddenly felt depressed. It seemed that sleeping in in the game world would make one hungry.
Sitting on the stone ledge under the willow tree in front of the village chief's house, holding her belly, she stretched out her hand and stared at it absentmindedly.
Her hands were beautiful, with distinct joints, fair and slender, and well-maintained. Her nails were a healthy pink and were trimmed regularly. They were not long and had a rounded shape.
Suddenly, a plump white bun was handed to her.
Gu Jiu looked up and saw Lu Ji’s pale face. She handed the bun to herself again.
Gu Jiu gave her a cheerful smile, took the bun and started eating.
The buns were vegetarian and still warm. Although not as delicious as when they were freshly baked, they were still very delicious to a hungry person.
"Thank you." Gu Jiu thanked Lu Ji. She felt that Lu Ji just looked a little cold, but she was still a good person. She remembered to save a bun for her, and she also saved her last night and helped her rub her injured waist.
"Lu Ji, you are such a good girl, I like you very much." She praised with a sweet smile.
Lu Ji: “…”
Lu Ji sat on another rock with a wooden face, looking at the weeds on the roadside, and suddenly asked: "Why were you staring at your hands just now?"
Gu Jiu: "Check if my nails are damaged. I would be very sad if they are." As she said that, she raised her hand again, her eyes looking as if she was appreciating a work of art.
Lu Ji was choked by her again: “…” I have never seen such a narcissistic woman.
After they sat for a while, they saw the fat brothers coming from outside the village.
"Girl, you got up late today. Are you feeling unwell?" the fat man asked with concern.
The thin guy was not as enthusiastic as the fat guy. He just nodded slightly at them as a greeting.
Gu Jiu hummed and expressed his feelings very frankly, "My whole body still hurts now. This is the first time I've been hurt so badly. The game world is really too difficult."
The fat man looked sympathetic.
From Gu Jiu's performance in the past few days, it is known that this girl must have been spoiled by her family before entering the game. If she had not been pulled into the game world, she would not have to go through all this. He did not laugh at Gu Jiu's pampering. After all, it was her first time to enter the game. Most of the players in the D-level game field have bodies of ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to really fight ghosts.
He consoled her, "Once you successfully get through the first game, your body should be strengthened and you'll be fine in the future."
Gu Jiu thanked him and suddenly asked, "Fatty brother, thin brother, are you okay now?"
"Nothing..." said the fat man. The village was not that big. They almost turned the village upside down in the past two days, but didn't find anything.
Gu Jiu stood up slowly. "Since everything is fine, why don't we go and see the three grandparents and grandchildren of Old Li's family? They have lived in their house for so long. Isn't it too rude not to say hello to the landlord?"
Fatty: !!!! What does she want to do? !
