Chapter 41: Let them go with peace of mind
Chapter 41: Let them go with peace of mind
The sky has been darkened, the whole woods with a strange feeling, the shadows in the dark constantly shifting, the wind blowing grass are alarming.
Of course this matter is for others and has no effect on Wuji Gu, who just gazes sharply at the surrounding grass and trees, trying to find some ghosts that he can purify.
Yuanzhou Lu is glad about this, although it seems that the target of help is not right, but in any case, there is no problem to do good!
The player who broke his foot was in shock, he didn't even know what move Wuji Gu was using, he just saw a few flashes of white light and the ghosts simply disappeared.
What the hell is this! It's almost like it's turned into the realm of metaphysical fantasy. The player's eyes were filled with a kind of worship of a big brother when he looked at Wuji Gu.
Anyway, it was in this tense environment that Wuji Gu and the others finally saw their destination - a wooden house hidden in the forest.
This wooden house has two floors, full of signs of age, there are many vines climbing on the outer wall, although it looks full of a sense of eeriness, but in the forest hard to rush the people see this wooden house feeling is definitely moving.
Yuanzhou Lu is very moved, at this time he is still carrying the player who broke his foot, in the moment of seeing the wooden house tears are going to come down.
Previously, Yuanzhou Lu felt that it was not good to let Wuji Gu carry the man, so he asked himself to share the burden. As a result, Yuanzhou Lu realized that it was really horrible when she was really carrying a big man on her back!
After all, the terrain in the woods is too difficult to walk, even if Yuanzhou Lu thinks he is physically very good, persist until now have been full of sweat.
If it were not for their luck along the way, they did not encounter any danger, what will happen now is not known.
Of course, it's also because the lower level ghosts that we encountered were already directly purified by Wuji Gu, so they didn't come together to form any scale.
The first person Yuanzhou Lu had ever met who had purchased the Purification Technique from the mall was Wuji Gu, which was basically considered to be a prank on ignorant newcomers. But in Wuji Gu's hands, it really worked the way it was supposed to.
"Do you want me to do it instead?" Wuji Gu saw Yuanzhou Lu's exhausted look and couldn't help but say.
"No need! It's just a small thing, it's nothing to me." Yuanzhou Lu spoke with a stiff upper lip, trying to maintain his reliable image in front of Wuji Gu, repeating in his mind, "I'll be there soon, I'll be able to rest soon."
How could he have thought things would turn out this way before he came to this copy?
......
And at this time, in the wooden house, there are four figures in the second floor hidden place looking towards this side of Wuji Gu and others ...... of course the first thing they saw or Yuanzhou Lu actually carrying a person with mobility problems.
"I didn't expect anyone to come so soon, our idea of ambushing here was really not a problem." A man spoke with a sneer, "They probably don't know yet that this cabin is not their shelter, it will only get them killed!"
"Wait, that person is Yuanzhou Lu." Another person suddenly spoke nervously, "Brother Wang, I heard that he is a member of that organization, are we really okay to do this? We won't be held in contempt, right?"
"It's okay, it's normal to die in a copy, and we're just following the rules of this copy. So what if he's from that organization, it's normal to die." Wang said so.
At this point, the three outside world and much closer to the cabin, the people inside the house more clearly see Wuji Gu and Yuanzhou Lu two people wearing equipment and supplies, simply make them all red-eyed.
"I didn't expect Yuanzhou Lu to be so generous, and actually share so much of the supplies he got with others! Unfortunately, he was too naive and found himself two trash teammates, there is no room for good people to live in this copy."
"It looks like we should be able to harvest a lot of good stuff tonight."
Dead players can sometimes explode skills and props on them, although they are only available to hand when the copy is settled, but even so it is enough for many people to take the risk.
What's more, Yuanzhou Lu, the goodies on them are something you can get your hands on without leaving the copy.
"But Yuanzhou Lu after all is that organization's people, certainly have a lot of powerful means, then we focus on him, as long as the use of that prop obtained in the previous copy ...... can certainly succeed!" A person spoke: "As for that guy who seems to have a leg and Wuji Gu, just feel free to do it."
Several other people nodded their heads. They didn't think much of Wuji Gu at all and had equated him with the player who had broken his foot.
Before Wuji Gu and the others came in, the men scattered and hid in hidden places, preparing to sneak in when they weren't looking.
These few people acted completely unaware of the black mist that never dissipated inside this wooden house, silently following their bodies.
......
When he came close to the wooden house, Wuji Gu looked in front of him and cautiously pushed the door open. A musty smell immediately came out, the house actually has a rudimentary furniture, and it also looks like all can be used.
In addition, there is a very strong Yin Qi inside the house, but considering that there is no place in these woods without Yin Qi, this is quite normal.
And it might mean he can help people again, which gives Wuji Gu a thrill.
Yuanzhou Lu put the player on his back on the sofa, and the latter thanked him in a hurry.
"It doesn't matter, you can thank Wuji Gu if you want."
Yuanzhou Lu wiped his sweat when Wuji Gu wasn't looking, feeling that he had finally saved his decency in front of his opponent!
At the beginning, he was the one who acted like a big brother and ran to pull Wuji Gu together, and also said such a declaration, so it would be too humiliating if he showed his weakness now.
At this time, the outside world is also completely dark, the original very dim woods, now it is even darker to see the fingers, the wind will be the door and windows beat constantly shaking, you can also vaguely hear the hissing sound of what beasts.
"It seems that as soon as it gets completely dark, there will be some monsters that won't appear during the day." Wuji Gu pondered, "If we still stay outside, now even if we don't die, we will all be exhausted from avoiding the monsters, and we will lose our advantage the next day."
The player who broke his foot couldn't help but be thankful when he heard this, he should have bought a lottery ticket when he got out.
Yuanzhou Lu also think that this guy is too lucky, change the person now must have died, where there is life to come here.
"I don't know how many people will be killed this night." Yuanzhou Lu shook his head and spoke, "And this hunt will continue for three more days, what will happen if after three days, there are still more than ten people left behind?"
"At that time, I guess what awaits us is the real hunt." Wuji Gu said, "It's like the one we saw when we just got to the island."
Obviously, that was the real hunt, and they faced opponents that were not even human and had amazingly powerful weapons.
"Then even so, are you still willing to save people?" Yuanzhou Lu looked at Wuji Gu , as if inadvertently, and then looked at the player next to him and spoke, "They may become your enemy at some point."
The player who broke his foot next to him suddenly didn't dare to get out of the atmosphere, revealing a good and understanding look.
"Of course." Wuji Gu spoke openly, "I am only helping them, not necessarily guaranteeing their lives. Why not do what you can do? Even if it's just to give them one more chance, it doesn't matter. Besides, if something happens as a result, it's my own lack of vision, no one else is to blame."
Such things like this, Wuji Gu has already thought through, after all, he had numerous paranormal experiences before coming to these copy worlds.
Yuanzhou Lu looked at Wuji Gu with a softer look, and also with a vague sense of appreciation. Originally, he just wanted to do a casual favor, but now he has the idea of pulling the other party into his organization.
"Besides, if they do die, I can also purify them by the way, so that they can go in peace." Wuji Gu said this, feeling very thoughtful now.
Yuanzhou Lu : "......" really is very sweet but why there is always a subtle feeling!
Wuji Gu then lit the oil lamp on the table, and with the light, the room seemed warm and safe.
"Let's just fix dinner first." Wuji Gu took out some of the food in his backpack.
That said, there are various kinds of food hidden here, and even snacks, except for those that can't be eaten hot, there's simply everything else. Several people can also pick some of their favorite flavors.
The average player at this point is estimated to get one or two food is good, but Wuji Gu they can even pick, after comparing simply unbelievable luxury.
Hidden in the shadows to see are heart envy and jealousy, to know that they now also get some supplies only, each person can only eat compressed cookies.
If not for the fear that three people gathered together is not easy to deal with, they would have done it by now!
Yuanzhou Lu eats his food, his eyes sweeping thoughtfully over certain parts of the house, then he looks calm again, and cheerfully greets Wuji Gu to eat a little more.
After fixing dinner, Wuji Gu immediately got up, "I'm going to explore this cabin."
"Well, you be careful." Yuanzhou Lu opened his mouth, "If there's anything you need, talk to me too."
If it was usually with some less powerful teammates, he might have gone along with it, but Wuji Gu ...... Yuanzhou Lu felt he didn't have to worry about it at all, and besides, there were problems waiting for him over here.
Wuji Gu nodded, carried the oil lamp on the table, copied the kitchen knife that was originally retrieved from his backpack, and walked towards the next room.
Several people hidden in the shadows were pleased and immediately sent one of them to follow.
"Speaking of which, the facilities in this cabin are really quite good." Wuji Gu thought to himself as he walked through the corridor and looked at the scene in front of him.
Escape people certainly can not rely on their own on the construction of such a hut, it is estimated that those hunting nobles in order to let the prey have a lingering time, can make the hunt more interesting and built.
The first floor has a hall and storage room and kitchen, and even a small door leading to the rear, and a suspected vegetable patch outside ...... certainly now must be deserted.
The door of the storage room was locked, Wuji Gu pushed twice and failed to push it open.
The man hiding in the shadows saw this scene and thought it was a great time to make a move, and at the moment he tried to extend his hand -
Wuji Gu took a step back and slammed into it, accompanied by a loud bang, and the thick wooden door opened directly. After he did this, he walked in very calmly, as if what he had just done was something extremely ordinary.
The movement of the man hiding in the shadows stalled, then he wiped the cold sweat from his face, no, this door must be just an ordinary wooden door, and the door was not closed solidly, so it was so casually knocked open!
Wuji Gu walked into the storage room, but found nothing else here but one or two abandoned chairs, so he walked out again in disappointment, and his eyes fell on the kitchen next to it.
"Is there maybe something in the kitchen?"
The man hiding in the shadows saw this scene, could not help but secretly hum, the good things in this house has long been scavenged empty by their people, this Wuji Gu want to find out what useful things is impossible. The kitchen has nothing in it.
Wuji Gu walked in and found the kitchen empty, completely devoid of any food. The stove and the firewood lying next to it had collected dust and looked like they hadn't been used in a long time.
He was all set to go, but suddenly noticed a certain place.
"What is this?" Wuji Gu moved the oil lamp a little closer and found several sheets of unburned paper in the ashes under the stove, seemingly notes written down by someone in a panic.
The handwriting on it is unbelievably messy and faintly bloodstained, and most of it is burned off, making it impossible to guess what was written.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me, I'm only doing this because I want to live too! You're obviously a good person too aren't you? Why can't you let me go this time ......"
The passage seems to have been written at a time when the person concerned was very broken, and the second half of it was burned. Wuji Gu looked at the next page again.
"I hear the hounds, damn it, they're not going to let me go for sure! Obviously just hold on ...... a little longer and I'll be able to escape."
Wuji Gu saw this and abruptly remembered what the waiter had said to him when he was leaving.
What exactly is the hound that he is talking about? Now it certainly seems that it can't really be just an ordinary hound, otherwise this would not be the slightest bit threatening to them as players ......
And from this paper, it seems clear that this creature is dangerous in the extreme.
"I know, to deal with these hounds, just use that method, since they do not dare to approach, they must be afraid of flames ...... As long as I start from these aspects, I can ...... "
While Wuji Gu was over there carefully looking at his notes, the man hiding in the shadows was already about to press on.
"This person is really ridiculous, in such a dangerous copy actually still in the mood to read those messy things." The man with a snicker in his heart, "Even if you know more about the copy, so what, only those who are strong can survive, it's not like the main quest is asking people to investigate anything."
But in the moment before he was ready to make a move, but abruptly noticed that the surrounding situation is not right, this vigilance but many times to save his life, immediately carefully surveyed around.
Only to see the original dusty kitchen, but now there is a change, the floor and walls are full of blood splattered in all directions, blood all over the direction, it is almost as if there is a person here directly by what beast directly bitten to death.
"It seems to be a ghost." The man looked suddenly nervous, "It seems that he casually rummaging through things touched the ghosts in this wooden house ...... This is good, without me to do anything, it is a pity that he has those good things on him."
In the next instant, from the red blood on the ground around Wuji Gu, there was a figure struggling to emerge from it, first a hand, then a tattered body.
The man hiding in the shadows sucked in a breath of cold air.
And at that moment, Wuji Gu, who had previously looked at his notes as if he was completely oblivious to the situation around him, suddenly turned his head and his eyes went straight to the ghost beside him.
The oil lamp in Wuji Gu's hand is at this moment, clearly the ghost's hideous face is completely reflected, it is a face that has been torn, looks very horrible.
A different person at this time is estimated to have been scared to scream out, even if it has played several copies, is considered to have seen a lot of people in the dark, but also subconsciously covered their mouths.
Wuji Gu not only acted as if nothing had happened, but also looked over with a concerned look, "Are you okay? It looks like a lot of work, do you need my help?"
The ghost on the ground was instantly confused. Then, Wuji Gu directly grabbed its hand on the outside and actually violently pulled the ghost directly out of the blood stain.
Ghost: "?"
The man hiding in the shadows: "?" What kind of operation is this! Don't you think you're dying fast enough!
Wuji Gu also after pulling up, smoothly patted the ghost's body stained with ash, but in seeing each other that was torn down half of the waist but abruptly stopped.
That's the right development! After that, a look of horror should appear on the face of the person in front of you, right?
The ghost looked at the plot should be to the conventional direction, the eyes suddenly dyed with a few points of resentment, a hand broken in a bizarre way is about to grab the body of Wuji Gu ......
"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you!" Wuji Gu said and took a step back directly, just the wrong side of the ghost's hand, his expression still seemed to be embarrassed, "I know that even if you are dead, ghosts have their own privacy ...... your internal organs must be to be seen only by the future object, right!"
The ghost's movements stopped abruptly, he actually didn't know how to digest what the living person in front of him said for a while, and he didn't know whether the other party had intentionally or unintentionally avoided his attack.
Wuji Gu then looked again at the ghost in front of him and picked up the notes in front of him, "This should be written by you, unfortunately some parts were burned, I think you should not mind telling me what was originally written here ......"
The ghost's body is vaguely shaking at this point, this living person is not afraid of him even if it is, but actually asked here? Does he look like such a kind ghost?
Wuji Gu saw that the other party did not have the intention to speak, the look seemed a little disappointed, immediately turned around, simply put their defenseless behind directly on display in front of the ghost's eyes.
The people hiding in the shadows see this scene are simply hate to go out and remind, there are so big-hearted people!
The corners of the ghost's mouth immediately pulled out a hideous arc, there is no doubt that he will be able to bite down directly on the living person in front of him in the next instant -
Wuji Gu suddenly turned around, one hand still holding a kitchen knife, facing the ghost with its mouth wide open, hesitated a little, and then revealed a smile. The other hand reached out and patted the ghost's shoulder, hiding in the shadows clearly saw the ghost's body shaking a few times, the bones also clicked, cold sweat could not help but trickle down the face.
The ghost looked at Wuji Gu's hand full of resentment of the kitchen knife, and the other side of the force when tapping his body, but the body are stiffened, face vaguely appear fear, immediately nodded, with hoarse voice spoke: "Okay, I can tell you, but you have to help me do one thing."
............
......
Time rewind to earlier.
Inside the hall, Yuanzhou Lu has been handcuffed hands, but still with a careless smile on his face to look at the three people in front of him.
The handcuffs in his hand were obtained by chance in a previous copy of the prison background, and the effect was to make the bound subject completely unable to use any abilities and props, so to speak, to become a completely ordinary person.
Of course, according to Yuanzhou Lu's strength, should not be so casually bound by other people's props, but a few people in front of them actually hold a prop that can temporarily produce illusions, so Yuanzhou Lu just fell into the trap.
As for the player who broke his foot next to him, he had simply been knocked unconscious at this point, and people of his strength were simply not put in the eye of the beholder.
These three people looked at Yuanzhou Lu's expression and felt unhappy, " Yuanzhou Lu, what are you so proud of now, don't think you are great because you have a background. As long as we send you to feed those evil spirits, then who will know who killed you!"
"Oh." Yuanzhou Lu opened his mouth, "It seems that you dare to make a move, indeed, you are also all ready to plan, not some tactless people, I should praise you."
As he spoke, Yuanzhou Lu wiggled the handcuffs on his wrists for fun, a novel experience he had not had before.
Yuanzhou Lu's comfortable appearance made the three people's forehead cold sweat down. But this is a copy of the props brought out, is absolutely impossible to take off at will, even Yuanzhou Lu is not possible, thinking of this point let them settle down.
Yuanzhou Lu looked at the people in front of him and smiled. These people really think that a handcuffs can not help him? Even if they are bound to become an ordinary person, these people are never his opponent ...... but if it ends like this it seems too meaningless.
At that moment, a loud booming sound came violently from somewhere on the first floor. Several people's eyes looked over at once.
"Don't be arrogant, your companion is now under the control of our people as well." Wang laughed coldly, "Now it seems to be a bad luck."
Although said so, but their hearts are some wonder, that companion how to make such a big noise, just against a vase is necessary?
"Oh." Yuanzhou Lu's heart abruptly a few sympathy. Of course, is the sympathy for these people companions, after the previous incident, where he still do not know Wuji Gu that a strength, that is carrying two adults run without problems ah!
"What are you looking at, it will be your turn soon!" The man chided and suddenly felt some cold liquid fall onto his neck, his expression changed, " Yuanzhou Lu , what have you done?"
"I didn't do anything." Yuanzhou Lu opened his mouth and said, looking up at the ceiling thoughtfully, smiling and speaking, "Maybe you have done something wrong yourselves."
These people saw Yuanzhou Lu's sight and were still bewildered, but in the next instant more liquid dripped down, and they looked up in surprise, and a look of horror appeared in their eyes.
Appearing above them was a corpse hanging above, with several huge wounds around the waist, staring fiercely at the few people below with a dead expression, the eyes were almost staring out like this, and blood was dripping down from the wounds.
"Crap!!!" "When did this female ghost appear!"
These people's faces suddenly changed dramatically. Even if they have broken into the intermediate copy, but this does not mean that all people have resistance to ghosts, at most is more means to save their lives, want to directly harm the ghost itself that is still extremely difficult, want to really only through the rules of the copy.
What's more, this corpse in front of me, no matter how you look at it, is not the kind of ghost that is good to deal with no sanity all act on instinct, but more like that full of resentment of the evil ghost!
............
......
On the other hand, Wuji Gu came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife and walked upstairs according to the ghost's words.
As for the ghost itself, it is already hiding in the blood of the kitchen again, and it seems that he cannot leave the area.
The person hiding in the shadows also came out at this time, although he felt the situation was dangerous ...... but he also had props on him, enough to deal with Wuji Gu . Besides, the situation at hand, he really cares about what the ghost really wants people to do, so he followed behind and went upstairs together.
The second floor has several rooms, the corridor with some things, all overturned on the floor, it looks very messy, as if someone once escaped here, the walls and the traces of heavy objects have been hit leaving cracks.
"He said he would tell me everything as soon as I found a picture here, would things be that simple? Anyway, just come and find out first." Wuji Gu thought so and stepped directly into the first door on the second floor.
This appears to be a bedroom with a tattered bed. The window has been sealed with wooden strips, the bed on the ground are incomparably messy, all kinds of miscellaneous items scattered on the floor, not to mention that the light is now so dim, trying to find out what things are like a needle in a haystack.
So Wuji Gu went over to the table anyway, and at once saw a notebook on it.
The man hiding in the back was startled, they hadn't seen this on the table when they came in here before. He has now forgotten exactly what he was going to do, and was intrigued by Wuji Gu's various operations.
Wuji Gu opened it and found that the paper was very similar to the pages found in the kitchen below, and the comparison was exactly the same.
A group photo then slipped out of the notebook.
"The photo he wants me to find, it's not this one, is it?"
Is this matter too simple?
Wuji Gu picked up the group photo and found that the background, although somewhat different, was clearly on the island.
The few people in the group photo above are all wearing familiar white uniforms, but there is no hint of fear, their eyes look at the person in the center of the picture, with trust and longing in their eyes.
The face of the person in the middle is already blackened by the pen, at first glance with a bizarre, completely unable to see his face, can only see the appearance of a young man.
"What the hell is going on here ......"
Wuji Gu turned the group photo over and saw a message written on the back.
'On this day, we were set free.'
He vaguely realized that the group photo and the person in the middle must be a very important character, and this copy of the truth definitely has a connection, immediately put away the photo together with the notebook.
But just as Wuji Gu was about to turn around and leave, he realized that the door had been closed at some point.
In the next instant, the shadows of the miscellaneous objects on the walls of the house, the image of a monster coalesced, a pair of crimson eyes staring at Wuji Gu side, and faintly can hear the hissing like a beast's cry.
Wuji Gu : "......"
Sure enough, he knew it wasn't that simple.
......
All the people in the hall on the mountain wall also had their eyes focused on the picture in front of them at this time, obviously interested in what would happen afterwards.
Only the owner of the mansion, cold eyes look at Wuji Gu's eyes with a few moments of scrutiny.
