A Crowd of Evil Spirit Lines up to Confess to Me

"This ghost seems to be able to put people into a coma." Gu Wuji continued, "It seems that even if everyone stays in the hall together, there are still dangers. After all, like just now, we have no guarantee .”

Xiao Cheng no longer dared to talk to Gu Wuji anymore, he only thought that Gu Wuji might be a scheming person.Now I feel that Gu Wuji is definitely a person with deep scheming and violent means, how could he be so unlucky to meet this kind of person!

Originally, he had learned so much information, and he had the idea of ​​completing the most achievements in this dungeon, and maybe saving a few unimportant people by the way, so that he could successfully earn points in the end, but now there is an extra obstacle for no reason.

But fortunately, as long as he still knows the truth about this dungeon and knows how to avoid these dangers, Sun Shi has nothing to be afraid of, and maybe he can take the opportunity to kill him.

"Brother Xiao, what should we do then?" One person looked over in a panic. After all, the experience of the past few days made them develop the habit of relying on Xiao Cheng for everything.

Xiao Chengcheng is an old dog, why ask him such a tricky question!And don't let Gu Wuji have any opinion on him!

However, it also proved that his hard work in the past few days is effective, Xiao Cheng immediately showed a very friendly smile, "In this case, let's replace it with two people to watch the night... At the same time, strengthen our vigilance, the ghost is really coming We can also remind each other."

The others could only nod their heads, and that was the only way to go at the moment.

Gu Wuji looked at the person who was almost caught by the ghost before, and asked, "Speaking of which, did you see anything or dream about it before?"

The man's face was a little ugly, but he still said: "Brother Sun, I dreamed that someone was waving at me outside the window, and that dream seemed real, and I almost reached out to grab that person..."

Because Gu Wuji saved his life, this person subconsciously changed his words.

The others suddenly became serious.

"It seems that the strangeness of that person in the middle of the night yesterday may also be due to the dream." Gu Wuji was thoughtful, and he himself dreamed a lot of weird things. Speaking of it, it was thanks to the reminder from the female ghost in the dream, otherwise He couldn't wake up, this person was probably cold.

But in the dream, what did the female ghost tell him?

Gu Wuji couldn't remember at all.

"Then do you remember that person's clothes or what his face looked like?"

"I can't remember at all." The man frowned, "I just remember that it seemed to be very lively outside... It seems that many people welcome me to join them."

The others gasped, and their rich imaginations immediately thought of many bad things.

"Forget it, we can't discuss anything anyway." Xiao Cheng said hastily: "Everyone should take a rest quickly, so as not to lose energy tomorrow, then it's not worth it. Since the ghost came once, it must be not worth it in the future." will come."

Others also felt that what Xiao Cheng said made sense. After all, not only did the ghost lose, but he was also slashed by that grandson, and then fled in embarrassment...

Even so, everyone couldn't rest peacefully, and fell asleep after changing to two people to watch the night.

The next day, everyone was awakened by a knock on the door.

The person who knocked on the door was a middle-aged woman who looked a little timid. Everyone still remembered that she seemed to be the wife of the village chief.And the village head's attitude towards this wife can be said to be very rude. If it weren't for outsiders, he might beat and scold her frequently.

Gu Wuji is still a bit regretful, after all, if the village chief really does something unreliable, then he can still go up and do something good.

The woman handed over a basket in her hand, with an ugly smile on her face, "You must have no food now, and you must be hungry, so I sent something over."

After everyone took the food, she left in a hurry, as if she didn't want to say a word to the players.

In fact, the players also ate the dishes sent by the village head yesterday, but they seemed to be very simple things.Besides, these people have to stay in the village for seven days, so how can they persist if they don't eat other things.

The baskets delivered today were full of festive-looking food, like dough cakes wrapped in red paper, and eggs with the word "囍" printed on them.

But these festive foods made everyone feel like they were sitting on pins and needles. After all, the only happy event in this village recently was the ghost marriage?Things related to this kind of thing always make them feel that something will happen if they eat it.

"I advise you not to touch these foods." Qi Yunxiu did not know when he had appeared in the hall, and said lightly.

"What do you mean? You always say some weird things over there." Others have long seen Qi Yunxiu's extremely unhappy attitude, and because of the opponent's strength, they have never dared to make any comments.Although what Qi Yunxiu said this time was actually quite reliable, it still made them feel a little uneasy.

When Qi Yunxiu heard the words, he glanced coldly.

Seeing the extremely cold and menacing eyes, everyone immediately died down, thinking that they should not provoke this terrible guy for a moment of fun.

"Everyone, don't be so excited." Xiao Cheng immediately said: "After all, Qi Yunxiu said this for our own good. These things must not be eaten."

Qi Yunxiu glanced at the crowd coldly, and left directly.

Gu Wuji had a mission, so he hurriedly followed.

This makes some people who still want to follow Gu Wuji very annoyed. After all, after showing their strength yesterday, many people feel that it must be safe to stay by Gu Wuji's side... But why does Gu Wuji insist on staying by Qi Yunxiu's side? !

The others looked at Xiao Cheng, who was obviously the most reliable at this time.

After the two left, Xiao Cheng finally regained his confidence, and immediately looked at everyone, "It's okay, as long as I'm here, I will do my best to protect everyone! We will definitely be able to leave this dungeon safely." .”

Looking at the other people who were so touched, and thinking about Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu who had just left, Xiao Cheng sneered in his heart.

In fact, according to the setting of this dungeon, everyone would think that the most terrifying thing would happen on the seventh day.

But in fact... the real crisis will come from the third day. If there is no precaution, half of the players will be here.

Of course, he knew exactly how to avoid this crisis.But Sun Shi and Qi Yunxiu were different.

No matter how capable they are, they survived by force, and they must be injured. When the time comes, their strength will be greatly reduced, and they will not be his opponents.

…………

……

Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu walked along the road, next to the field ridge, the weather today is not bad, although the surrounding is still full of white mist, but at least it is not so gray anymore.

If you have a bigger heart, you can also feel as if you are in a farmhouse, not in a haunted village.

Qi Yunxiu didn't ask Gu Wuji why he followed him today. After receiving the compressed biscuits that Gu Wuji handed over, he seemed to feel better for a while, and decided not to show Gu Wuji any more embarrassment because of what happened last night. up.

However, Gu Wuji was so enthusiastic about him.Is it not good for him to keep ignoring each other like this?

Qi Yunxiu organized some dry words, and when he wanted to have a few more words with Gu Wuji, Gu Wuji was no longer behind him.

Qi Yunxiu was startled, turned his head abruptly, and saw careless and enthusiastic helping an old woman pick vegetables in the field.

The old woman's hair seemed to be disheveled, as if she was not in a good state of mind, and looked a little crazy.

If ordinary players see it, they will definitely avoid it. After all, even if it is to gain the favor of a mentally disturbed person, what is the use, and there is no useful information at all.

But Gu Wuji's attitude is still so enthusiastic and kind to help each other.

"..." Qi Yunxiu is also used to it. After all, Gu Wuji treats people and ghosts equally (at least that's what he said), and it's normal for him to be so nice to an old woman who is just mentally ill. .

However, is his kindness to himself just such an ordinary kindness to others?

This made Qi Yunxiu feel a little uncomfortable.

After picking the vegetables, Gu Wuji bid farewell to the old lady, turned to Qi Yunxiu and said, "Come over and have a look, the vegetables here are not right."

"What?" Qi Yunxiu frowned slightly.

Qi Yunxiu was directly dragged into the field by Gu Wuji, and he immediately noticed that the bottom of these vegetables was actually stained with blood, as was the surrounding soil... It seemed that these vegetables were all watered with blood.

Qi Yunxiu's expression suddenly became serious.

"Speaking of which, don't you have those powerful eyes? Can you see what's going on?" Gu Wuji said immediately.

Qi Yunxiu couldn't help laughing, and realized his image problem, he immediately snorted coldly, "How can there be such an easy thing, even my eyes can't see the strangeness of these things... However, there is no bloody smell here. The gas is very strong, is this liquid really blood?"

In the next moment, the blood in the soil suddenly overflowed, quickly covering the ankles of the two, so fast that they didn't even have time to dodge.

A pair of pale hands stretched out from it, grabbing Gu Wuji's outstretched hand suddenly, about to pull him directly into the pool of blood.

Qi Yunxiu's expression changed, he grabbed Gu Wuji's other hand, and was about to take out the props directly.

But he found that... Gu Wuji unexpectedly, under the pull of those hands, his body was still motionless.

Not only that, Gu Wuji actually pulled out those hands, and suddenly the upper body of a female ghost full of resentment appeared in front of the two of them.

It can be clearly seen that this female ghost is also wearing a red dress, but whether it is fabric or tailoring, it is much worse than the one worn by the red-clothed female ghost that Gu Wuji had seen in his dream before.

Qi Yunxiu: "??"

The female ghost paused, she didn't seem to know how to face this awkward situation.

She obviously chose the slimmer-looking one of the two, right? !

"Are you okay...ah, it's okay." Gu Wuji seemed to realize something, and said quickly, "I won't ask you such personal questions as why you like to hide in the soil. I think everyone has their own uniqueness." It's normal to have a hobby, and I respect your choice."

The female ghost's eyes turned cold, and the blood on her body became more intense, obviously irritated by her reckless words.

Qi Yunxiu: "..."

However, after thinking about nothing, he actually asked like a normal person: "By the way, you are so enthusiastic, do you want to ask me for help?"

Qi Yunxiu didn't even know how Gu Wuji saw enthusiasm from this female ghost.

And it should be a very serious situation at this time, why can't he be serious anymore!

The female ghost was speechless for a while, but seeing Gu Wuji's sincere eyes, her heart moved.

The main reason is that Gu Wuji not only has a sincere expression, but also has a very good appearance, which makes people subconsciously have a good impression of him.Even if it's a female ghost, she can still see her face.

The female ghost finally spoke slowly: "...I just want to go home."

"Where is your home?" Gu Wuji asked.

But the female ghost just shook her head, and then her body became completely transparent and merged into the pool of blood.And the blood also subsided, as if nothing had happened here, even the red under the vegetable leaves disappeared.

[Trigger side mission: Help the female ghost go home. ]

Qi Yunxiu's impression of Gu Wuji has completely changed at this time.What Gu Wuji said before is correct, he is a person who really knows how to help ghosts!

Gu Wuji said: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Qi Yunxiu couldn't help asking, he couldn't help thinking, could it be that Gu Wuji had already guessed from the few conversations just now, which family is the female ghost?

"Yesterday we agreed to help an old woman clean." Gu Wuji said in surprise, "Have you forgotten?"

Qi Yunxiu: "No one will remember this kind of thing." And what does it have to do with him!

…………

……

Then the two returned to the village and helped each household with work.

It's nothing to go to help as promised yesterday, but Gu Wuji saw villagers in difficulties continue to help today.

He doesn't look like he came to the dungeon to investigate the truth of the main story, but more like a public welfare enthusiast who came to help the poor, and is committed to making this poor and backward village live a better life...

No, even a public welfare person who helps the poor would not be able to do what he did!

Even Qi Yunxiu didn't know what was going on, so he was pulled in by Gu Wuji on his own, as if he was doing chicken feeding that didn't fit his image at all.

"Me too, what on earth are you here for!" Qi Yunxiu gritted his teeth while feeding the chicken, "Why do you have to listen to him?"

Gu Wuji over there is working in the kitchen while chatting with an old lady.

It's been a long time since I showed off my cooking skills, and Gu Wuji is still eager to try...

The villagers here have completely lost the previous resistance attitude, and their attitude towards Gu Wuji has become much better. It is normal to communicate with him, and many people have even begun to appreciate him.

Of course, there was an indescribable sense of regret in those admiring eyes.

Qi Yunxiu couldn't help thinking, could this be Gu Wuji's real purpose?Relying on doing good deeds to gain NPC favorability, it is convenient to listen to news.But this is too tortuous!

"Ma'am, what's the matter with the ceremony in this village?" Gu Wuji said, "I always feel weird."

Qi Yunxiu: "?" How can you just say that this feeling will cause the npc to become black!

Sure enough, the aunt's expression changed, but she just looked around and said in a low voice: "You child, don't say such things when you are in other places. It would be bad if the village chief found out."

"Oh." Gu Wuji immediately nodded obediently, making the aunt's expression even more complicated.

"It wasn't like this in the past. What kind of ceremony is this? It's just harmful!" The aunt sighed, "It all happened decades ago..."

The aunt told all about the past.

A few decades ago, this village was considered to be a village with good conditions at that time. Although some supernatural things would happen, and ghosts and gods could be communicated by some means, everything was quite normal, and there were contacts with other villages and towns from time to time. .

But at that time, it seemed that the son of the village chief wanted to go out to work, but encountered an accident on the road, and when he was sent back, he was already a mutilated corpse.

After the village head finally accepted the matter, he chose a dead girl from a neighboring village, and planned to have a ghost marriage with his son.This is a very normal thing in the local area, and everyone can understand it.

But the problem is that the place where the village head chose to marry is a cave that has been regarded as a holy place by the villagers since before.Everyone thought it was very ominous, but the village head was unwilling to make changes, and the others had nothing to do with him.

And then something even weirder happened. During the ghost marriage, the dead village head's son suddenly opened his eyes, scaring the others to leave immediately.

One night later, the two bodies disappeared even more mysteriously.Afterwards, they even heard that the girl in the neighboring village was originally a living person, and it was the family members who killed their daughter alive and sent her to be married in the dark to earn that sum of money.

Since then, strange things have happened repeatedly in this village, and even the people in their village can't leave. Every time they want to go out, they will return to the village unknowingly like a ghost hitting a wall.

If outsiders come in, they have to leave within seven days, otherwise they will be trapped here forever like the people in the village.

In addition, people in the village also experienced various strange deaths.

Everyone thought that the mountain god was dissatisfied because he held a ghost marriage in his territory. In the end, in order to appease the anger, no one knew who proposed to send a bride to the mountain god as a sacrifice. After that, the village temporarily restored peace.

It's just that such a ceremony has to be held every ten years, and it is already the most terrifying nightmare for the people in their village.

The aunt said that she didn't go to see it because she was timid, so she heard all this from other people in the village.

"No wonder the village chief asked us to stay for seven days." Gu Wuji thought, after seven days, no matter whether they were dead or alive, they probably wouldn't be able to leave this weird village.

Gu Wuji also noticed before that as long as they seemed to be leaving the village, there would be young and middle-aged villagers guarding nearby, obviously not letting them leave.

Of course, it is impossible for these players to leave in order to complete the mission.

"You're a good boy, you shouldn't be here, you're just... committing crimes, the village chief will definitely not let you go." The aunt sighed, "I know a hidden escape route, when the ceremony is about to take place, The people in the village don't have much time to keep an eye on you, so you just run away when the time comes..."

"Thank you, aunt." Gu Wuji said so, and then said: "Then do you know, who are the girls who have been sent to be brides these years?"

"This." The aunt said: "As long as you see that there are no red silk and lanterns hanging on the wall, it is someone who has married a bride. These are also poor people... Like the third sister-in-law, the original husband died. Now, there is only that heart-loving daughter who is forced to be a bride by those people, and now the third sister-in-law is going crazy."

"Okay." Gu Wuji nodded.

He felt more and more that these lanterns hanging outside every house were not simple.

When the two of them bid farewell to the aunt and came out, Gu Wuji still had a lot of food in his hands, causing passers-by to stare sideways.

Qi Yunxiu said, "You already knew?"

Gu Wuji: "Know what?"

Qi Yunxiu: "If you know how to help these npcs, they will tell you something."

Gu Wuji: "Of course I don't know."

"Then why do you still..." Qi Yunxiu felt that he was talking nonsense in the middle of speaking, and it was a coincidence that this matter reached this point!

"However, do you think everything the aunt said is the background of this dungeon?" Gu Wuji said, "Could it be that the boss of this dungeon is the mountain god?"

Qi Yunxiu: "At least from her point of view, it is the truth. After we understand it, it is normal to come to this conclusion. But for this dungeon, it is not clear. After all, we still know too little about this village. It is easy to Just because some wrong information was misled."

"It's true, and the girl who was killed because of the ghost marriage must have a strong resentment." Gu Wuji said seriously, "It seems that we should ask the person concerned."

Qi Yunxiu: "..." This understatement is always scary, doesn't it?

"Speaking of which, why did you say not to touch the lantern before?" Gu Wuji looked over curiously.

"There's no particular reason." Qi Yunxiu wouldn't bother to answer if asked by ordinary people, but if he had nothing to do, he was a little interested in answering, "Have you noticed that there are no candles in these lanterns? Extremely strong Yin Qi. Although I can't see it clearly... But if I take this lantern, it will definitely attract ghosts."

"I see." Gu Wuji nodded.

It was getting late at this time, and the two were about to go back home, but found that the surrounding environment looked a bit wrong.

Obviously all the buildings are still the same as before, but no matter how you look at it, something is wrong, and at some point there is a fog that fills the air, people can't even see things half a meter away.

A woman's cry came from nowhere.People can't help but feel cold when they hear it.

"Not good." Qi Yunxiu frowned, "The Yin Qi around here is extremely strong, and my 'eyes' can feel that there is something extremely terrifying here."

"What a coincidence, I think so too." Gu Wuji pressed his forehead, and the alarm kept ringing in his mind, reminding him that an irresistible danger would occur next.

At this moment, behind the two of them was the sound of festive music... It was as if today was a big day.
