Ch 17 - A crowd of evil spirit lines up to confess to me

Chapter 17

After Gu Wu Ji had woken up, he found himself still inside the kitchen.

Looking at the preparation he originally made to be able to exhibit his skills, but at present could absolutely not be used as ingredients, with the addition of the big mess on the table, which left some regrets in Gu Wu Ji’s heart.

At present, there were already no problem with the aspect of the budget, but Gu Wu Ji felt that any food he makes will be extremely good, and still wanted to continue to try it out, not expecting to once again come across the opening of the copy’s world.

Even if the system had said that time will stop during the period inside the copy, but every time he comes out he will be in an state of unconsciousness, so it was still inconvenient and troublesome.

[Congratulating the player for successfully passing the second copy, and will receive the basic guaranteed 100 points, because of the player actually brushing the favorable impressions of the ghosts and the most powerful malicious spirit, as well as accessing the copy’s main clues, rewarding 500 points, current total is 1000 points.]

Gu Wu Ji became startled, the most powerful malicious spirit, who is it? Could it possibly be that baby ghost?

However, he had already left anyway, so he wouldn’t continue to care about this kind of thing.

With regards to the 1000 accumulated points was already enough, but there were still no props that Gu Wu Ji really wanted to buy, so he’ll keep it for the time being.

[In addition, because of the excellent performance in the copy, the host’s skill has also upgraded.]

[Ghost control: LV2, you have gained the ability to temporarily control the simple minded low-level ghosts, requires to be alone when summoning. As well as having the opportunity to summon an average malicious spirits, but after the success it can only be maintained for 20 minutes, more than 20 minutes, will bring about unpredictable consequences, after all, you can’t really control them.]

[If fresh blood is used as an establishment, you will have the probability of summoning a ghost king of the first class, this level refers to the boss of the first copy, time limit is 5 minutes, it will cost a terrible price not to end it after 5 minutes.]

Gu Wu Ji became stunned, unexpectedly, that ghost in the first copy actually turned out to be a ghost king of the first class, no wonder it had that imposing manner, by just approaching, it can already make people feel uneasy and nervous.  

If one had to say this matter was something very rare with Gu Wu Ji.

At this time, the cell phone in Gu Wu Ji’s pocket suddenly began to vibrate.

He took it out to see, that it was a message from xiao zong Cheng sent by Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia has been hospitalized after being given a shock, it wasn’t known whether the people in the family of Cheng actually believed him or not, as he wasn’t discharged from the hospital until now, and was taken care of inside the highest hospital vip room.

Although, the people in the family of Cheng also invited not just a few of the great masters over, after becoming aware of the previous incident, but they weren’t able to see any problems, and also thought that this was just a psychological problem of Cheng Jia.

Which only made Cheng Jia feel that these people lack any professional qualities, and had more trust towards Gu Wu Ji, firmly believing that Gu Wu Ji is certainly a great master of ghost exorcism, with a professional ability that can easily hang and beat these swindlers.

During the period of his hospitalization he had always been filled with suspicion, always feeling that there was a problem with his surroundings, so he frantically gave a call to Gu Wu Ji seeking for physiological comfort everyday.

At the beginning Gu Wu Ji would still patiently pick his call listening to what he was saying, but in the end was finally ruthlessly ignored.

But this time, he rather felt a bit conscience-stricken.

Gu Wu Ji’s premonition has always been very accurate, so without thinking too much, immediately dialed Cheng Jia cellphone number.

The cellphone was answered after a short period, Cheng Jia’s lowered voice sounded with a fluster, “G-Gu- dashi! You have to come quickly, I said that this hospital must certainly have a problem! As expected……”

“What’s going on? Did something happen?”

Gu Wu Ji was aware that he must no longer delay now, asking him, while at the same going out to hail a ride, and immediately began heading to the hospital’s direction.  

At present, it was already almost 0 o’clock at the very late night, fortunately this place was a major city, and everybody’s nightlife was quite abundant, letting Gu Wu Ji have almost no waiting period when hailing a car.

“I had just gone out of the toilet, when I came back, I saw the nurse that was usually in-charge of me mysteriously appear outside the door, but also looked very strange--”

If there wasn’t anything happening right now, Gu Wu Ji would have felt that Cheng Jia had basically offended quite a lot of people, by people’s □□.  

“If it was before, I would probably have gone over to greet her, but at present I went to hide behind and looked back, as a result……as a result I discovered, that nurse actually didn’t have any face!” Cheng Jia’s voice clearly had a bit of tremor, that had still not yet recovered from the fright he just had a moment ago.

“Then are you able to leave now?” Gu Wu Ji sat in the car, while fortunately thinking that the place he lived in was not far from the hospital, and would only need to take a few minutes.

“I-I also want to leave, but I don’t know why I’m unable to go down from here, every time I go down I will just return to the original place, without any better option, I just randomly found an empty ward to hide……” Cheng Jia said, “Then while thinking of you Gu-dashi, you then immediately called.”

It seems he had been hit by a ghost in the wall…… This was also a normal behaviour, after all, ghosts also cannot randomly kill people and still allow them to just run away, right?

“Alright, I’ve already reached the area now. Wait for me there and don’t move around!”

“B-bad!” The panic stricken voice of Cheng Jia could be heard from the end of the cellphone, “She seems to be coming over--”

The signal of the cellphone call in a flash became poor, and soon became a static noise, after that it even directly hanged up.

Gu Wu Ji seeing this, settled the car’s payment then quickly got off, seeing the hospital in front, just as expected he sensed a burst of a very uncomfortable feeling.

At first, Gu Wu Ji because of his physique frequently encounters ghosts, and was somewhat able to sense the ghost’s feedback, after obtaining the ghost control ability, this feedback has also been enhanced.

If it goes on like this maybe he can really go ahead and become a person who can purify ghosts……

Gu Wu Ji thinking of this, then set foot into the hospital.

Dressed in a windbreaker jacket, with a perfect body proportion, even if the face still had sunglasses on, but the unobstructed lower half of his face was already enough to make out his exquisite appearance, letting the nurses in the hospital’s night shift become dazed.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Gu Wu Ji did not register but immediately rode the elevator at the side.

The nurse had just thought of calling him, after all, there were not just a few higher-ups which comes to this hospital of theirs, a swipe card is needed for the elevator to go to a floor, but she had not yet spoken, when the number above the elevator has already been shown to ascended.  

“How could that actually happen? Could it be that he already has a registered record before?”

……

Gu Wu Ji immediately upon entering the elevator, easily perceived an assaulting blast of yin energy, while simultaneously feeling the surrounding’s frigid temperature.

There was already a woman with black clothes standing in the elevator, the lower part of her face had a mask covering her mouth which made it impossible to clearly see her appearance, and the reflective wall of the elevator actually couldn’t even cast back even a bit of her figure.

This is a ghost.

For sure, Gu Wu Ji also knew that in horror films or ghost movies, the one going in the elevator will certainly be the first to die, after all, the space in here also has no room for escape.

However, his intuition did not perceive anything too dangerous, so he came in so recklessly.

That woman dressed in black with a somber gloominess faced towards Gu Wu Ji’s direction, the lights in the elevator also began flickering, his own reflective print in the elevator had also mysteriously distorted, if it had been an average person here it is estimated that he would have already been completely frightened to frailness.

“Hello, I’m heading to the 12^th floor.” Gu Wu Ji quickly said to her, he remembered Cheng Ji telling him the floor his ward was located in.

The female ghost in black became startled, and soon after furiously reacted, the eyes suddenly became even more cold and terrifying, the reason she stayed here was not to help people swipe their cards, she was now going to let this person experience what is called the fear of death.  

However soon after, Gu Wu Ji nevertheless removed his sunglasses, turning his head, his pair of eyes fixedly gazing at her, that seemed to be filled with all kinds of complicated feelings, the fluidity of the voice also sounded tender and gentle, “Can you please?”

The female ghost clad in black was immediately confused and perplexed by the person’s charming beauty in front of her, and had long forgotten her purpose, a muffled voice then sounded from behind the mask, “O-of course I can.”

Gu Wu Ji released a sigh, showing a friendly smile towards the black clothed female ghost. The other’s deathly white face actually became rigid as if a blush was about to emerge.

Gu Wu Ji at this moment still did not want to make use of his ability, being inconvenienced is one thing, but if time is delayed, maybe Cheng Jia would have immediately died.

Moreover, before he possessed this ability, he was already very proficient and experienced towards handling ghosts.

The black clothed female ghost took the card which she carried, swiping it once on the elevator, this friendly helper also helped Gu Wu Ji to press the 13^th floor button.

Gu Wu Ji originally wanted to say that it had been mistakenly pressed, but just like suddenly noticing something, thus he no longer opened his mouth again.

……

Trembling with fear and trepidation, Cheng Jia hid behind the hospital ward’s curtain, and with great care peeked out to see the pitch black room from the small seam, the whole room was strangely very quiet.

Turning his head to look outside, but there was nothing that looked like the buildings in the city center, only pitch black darkness could be seen when looking down, it was dreadfully eerie to the extreme.

The sharp and clear sounds of the footsteps sounded not far from outside the door, then came the sound of the next room door being pushed open, as well as the noises of the cabinets being pulled open.

Evidently that female ghost on the outside had been constantly looking for his location, and was already getting more and more closer to him……

Cheng Jia was already very frightened to have a nervous breakdown, for what reason is this kind of thing always happening to him!

The last time, when he was returning home he encountered a ghost driver, and was even sold out by Xu Ming Jun, afterwards he had still been sentenced to stay in the same place inside the car with a headless body for who knows how long, this was already adequate enough for him to have a psychological shadow!

To have come in the hospital, all of the hospital’s nurses had actually turned into ghosts, putting aside other people, he himself doubted whether or not he had done something outrageous. Had he not gone to the toilet in time, perhaps his soul would now have already gone to the Western Paradise*!

*euphemism: to die (Western Paradise: Buddhism)

“How hateful.” Cheng Jia looked at his mobile phone that already did not have any signal, his nervousness has finally reached the extremes, and his heart had already been ice-cold.

Fortunately, he had still been able to make a call outside earlier, letting him get in touch with Gu Wu Ji in the end.

“Gu-dashi, quickly come! I beseech you, if you come at this time, I will definitely contribute a statue of your image, enshrining and worshiping you at home everyday!”

Cheng Jia tightly clasped his hands in front his heart, with cold sweats continually dripping down.

Just at this moment, a sharp noise of the door being pushed open suddenly sounded--
