Ch 5 - A crowd of evil spirit lines up to confess to me

Chapter 5

The notes abruptly ended after this sentence.

Gu Wu Ji closed the notebook and recalled the last sentence, then suddenly looked up, right on the picture hanging on the wall not far away.

Was there a picture before?

With the cellphone’s light, he clearly saw, the people appearing in the photo were exactly the six of them quickly entering the main door.

There were already three people whose faces were stained with blood, both eye holes were hollow, the three people's hollow eye sockets stared at the remaining three living people with a very creepy sight.

If the average person saw this photo, it's estimated that they would have already collapsed on the spot, but Gu Wu Ji was still in a state of calm observation. After all, the ghosts have already passed, who’d care about a photo.

He also found that, aside from the couple, it was unexpectedly Luo Kong that died. But it's now impossible for him to know how the other person died.

[Main line task: Find the abandoned villa’s hidden truth. Completed.]

[Main line task: Escape from the villa.]

[After getting the key clues, the most terrible existence in the villa has awakened, and all you can do is escape from this place. Former companions will also join in hunting you in exchange for an opportunity to live.]

When the sound of the system disappears, the picture was surrounded by blood at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the three people’s figure became more and more concrete, like being able to break free in the next second.

Gu Wu Ji without thinking about it turned and left.

He quickly headed down, when passing through a corner, encountered Fang Jian.

“You’re actually still……” Fang Jian didn't expect Gu Wu Ji to actually still be alive, moreover seeing the direction he came from, it seemed to be from the study, could Gu Wu Ji be the person who just completed the main line task?

But no matter, it’s enough to forcibly take the information out from Gu Wu Ji and kill him. Anyway, the newcomers in this circle were very silly, simple and sweet.

Fang Jian immediately wore a friendly smile and enthusiastically spreads his arms, “I didn't expect that you, xiao Gu would actually be alright, that’s great. Unfortunately, there are not many of our companions left, absolutely, absolutely no one else must be killed by the evil spirits.”

"Luo Kong and Ren Hui?" Gu Wuji seems to mention casually.

“Because the main line task has been completed, the two left first, I came back to see if there were any people left.” The smile in Fang Jian's eyes became extraordinarily sincere when saying this sentence, whoever sees this will be moved by him, glad that they as newcomers in the copy met a pioneer like Fang Jian.

“You lied.” Gu Wu Ji heaved a sigh then resolutely looked at the other, with a cold tone said, “From the beginning, you didn’t want to let any of us survive.”

He had previously noticed a problem with Fang Jian, then later thought about him meeting a ghost twice after being patted by the other. The sentence that was just spoken was only a test and Fang Jian unexpectedly lied.

Hearing Gu Wu Ji’s words, Fang Jian became silent for a while and without explaining, sneered, the eyes had a disdainful look, "It seems that you’re not so stupid, but you knowing everything is too late now. Once you die, the request to the evil spirit will also reached and I can leave directly!”

Afters saying this, he directly rushed towards Gu Wu Ji, after all he already vaguely heard the female ghost's movement, just pushing Gu Wu Ji to the female ghost over there without a doubt will surely kill him anyway!

Then Fang Jian discovered --He couldn’t be pushed.

Fang Jian: “??” How can this be, this guy obviously looks lean, why does he have so much strength, ah!

Gu Wu Ji easily placed Fang Jian’s hand behind his back making him groan, feeling that his wrist was about to be broken, the eyes looking at Gu Wu Ji had a bit of fear, this guy is really not a person!

At this time, Fang Jian noticed that the female ghost was already behind Gu Wu Ji, even if his face remained calm and collected, but the eyes have already revealed his glee.

This time, he had already prepared when he came to this low-level copy.

Fang Jian's eyeglasses was an item brought out form other copies, it has the ability to reduce one’s presence, as long as there are two people in the scene, the chances of the ghost attacking the other is higher.

Now when the female ghost attacks Gu Wu Ji, he will then have enough opportunity to leave, he doesn’t expect him to be so lucky this time. Adding Gu Wu Ji, there would be four dead people and he would be able to make a request to the evil spirit.

While Fang Jian was in an ecstatic mood, the female ghost suddenly rushed forward, in an instant, she passed by Gu Wu Ji and actually attacked Fang Jian.

Fang Jian couldn’t believe seeing this scene, could it be that Gu Wu Ji’s previous actions actually brushed the female ghost's good feelings?!

During his shock, Gu Wu Ji had already loosened his hand. Fang Jian didn’t think about Gu Wu Ji’s reason for doing this, and actually ran to the back heading towards the study, the study for some special reason, made ordinary ghosts completely afraid to pass, this was also an information he previously obtained.

Only, Fang Jian wasn’t aware, that Luo Kong and the other two people who became ghosts were inside the study.

Gu Wu Ji calmly glanced at Fang Jian’s back, without any interest, quickly ran to the exit.

It didn’t take long for a man’s screams with unbelievable fear to come. It seems that Fang Jian didn't expect to be killed in this place by the newcomer's ghosts.

Maybe because the most terrible evil spirit in the villa has awakened, the other ghosts have also appeared, the entire villa filled with an ominous breath. Soon, corridor to the flight of the stairs that was very easy to walk to, grew longer, countless hands emerged from the messy and blood stained walls, trying to pull people passing by, simply a scene in a nightmare.

A familiar female scream came from the head of the stairs, “H-help, who can s-save me--”

Gu Wu Ji frowned, quickly advancing towards the sounds direction, halfway through a hand suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Wu Ji grasped the hand naturally.

The hand froze.

Gu Wu Ji quickly said, “Thank you for being anxious to shake hands with me, but I’m in a hurry and need to leave first, see you later.”

As the voice fell, Gu Wu Ji nonchalantly let go of the hand and already made a beeline towards the head of the stairs.

At the head of the stairs, Ren Hui was already full of tears, she grasped the stair's railway in dire straits, the feet were grabbed by the outstretched hands emerging from the bloodstains, she couldn’t insist looking at it, but suddenly saw Gu Wu Ji appear from the side.

She almost couldn' believe her eyes, shouldn’t Gu Wu Ji be already dead, could it be that what appeared was Gu Wu Ji’s ghost?!

“Help--” Ren Hui cried this sentence out without hope, but Gu Wu Ji ran over, then……kicked the hands open.

Both hands froze for a while, what happened, what had just happened?

Ren Hui: “???”

“Let’s go.” Gu Wu Ji urgently said.

“O-oh!” Ren Hui stood from the ground, but found that her feet hurts because of the pull a moment ago making her face pale.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Wu Ji after taking a look noticed the current situation, “Is the leg hurt?”

Ren Hui clenched her teeth, “Forget it, you, you go first……” even if she wants to survive, she is also very clear, saving others at this time is tantamount to sacrificing one’s own life, she isn’t qualified to ask Gu Wu Ji to save her.

Gu Wuji without thinking about it, immediately carried her in his back and quickly rushed down the stairs.

Ren Hui became stupefied, tears fell from her eyes and was choked speechless.

Just a moment ago she personally saw Fang Jian push Luo Kong out when encountering danger and became completely scared, running away from that place. She originally thought that no one could be trusted in this world, but didn’t expect, that Gu Wu Ji was still willing to save people at this time.

“Close your eyes.” Gu Wu Ji’s voice sounded.

Trusting Gu Wu Ji, Ren Hui without questions, immediately closed her eyes.

Anyway, her life was originally saved by Gu Wu Ji.

Gu Wu Ji taking a deep breath, scanned the hall below that was covered by sinister ghosts again and memorized a relatively reliable path, then closed his eyes again and quickly headed towards the destination below.

After both people closed their eyes, the surrounding ghosts just like losing their targets, could only fumble around.

Gu Wu Ji had a very hard time running and almost fell several times, but in the end an alarming but not dangerous thing was met not far from the entrance, because of an invisible gap he had no choice but open his eyes to prevent him from hitting something.

The surrounding ghosts like being stirred up rushed towards Gu Wu Ji, when Gu Wu Ji suddenly felt a chill and like perceiving something made the ghosts shrink back.

Gu Wu Ji took the opportunity and immediately ran to the main entrance, placing Ren Hui down, then reached out to push the door open, but found that the door wouldn’t budge a bit.

What’s going on? Gu Wu Ji recalled Fang Jian’s words, didn’t he mention that the dead people were already enough? Why were they still unable to leave?

Just at this moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. Ren Hui frowned and wanted to open her eyes, but was blocked by Gu Wu Ji, she was so frightened that she stood by the door and didn’t dare move, not even daring to open her eyes.

In the process of events Ren Hui also realized that Gu Wu Ji must have learned something important, to let her close her eyes, if she acts rashly, it might bring trouble to them both.

Gu Wu Ji turned to look, the originally dark and very dilapidated hall, was actually restored to it's former grandeur. Those originally sinister looking evil spirits, shrank and trembled in place, just like encountering a terrible existence that made them afraid even when they were already dead.

Soon after, a figure slowly manifested in the middle of the hall.

Without a doubt, that is this copy’s most terrible existence.

Gu Wu Ji at this time wasn't reckless and curious about the other's appearance, and immediately wanted to close his eyes. But in an instant, he found that he was unable to close his eyes in anyway, even the body couldn’t move a sing step.

He could only helplessly look at everything that’s happening.

However, in the moment that he was about to see the other, Gu Wu Ji’s shoulder suddenly sank a bit, a pair of hands came from his back, covering his eyes. As everything faded into darkness.

The female ghost. Gu Wu Ji immediately knew the other's identity.

Even if the scene disappeared, but the atmosphere that chilled people to the bone hasn't, he could even hear the unhurried footsteps approaching him.

The other seemed completely unafraid that the prey might escape taking a relaxing attitude.

Gu Wu Ji soon felt an extremely ice-cold fingertip passing his cheek and faintly heard someone laughing.

“You, really are very different, ne?”

A low voice sounded.

“It really makes me reluctant to let go.”

Hearing this, Gu Wu Ji finally knew why he was unable to open the main entrance.

Even if the sacrifice was enough. But, this malicious spirit, didn’t want him to leave.
