Chapter 7 - Mourning Vigil

A group of people had been discussing for quite a while, but they didn’t come up with a worthwhile result. In the end, those players who originally wanted to go back to the room and sleep with wishful thinking, didn’t dare to return.

Like they had said, there were ghosts who came to haunt during the day, how could there be peace at night? It would only be more terrifying than the daytime. Moreover, the line of sight at night was obstructed to see clearly. This was no longer a scary problem. In case something happens, it was inevitable to stumble while running when escaping. In fact, it was much more dangerous than during the day.

After thinking about it, they still felt that it was safer to stay in the mourning hall. After all, everyone saw what happened yesterday. Those ghosts seemed to be unable to defeat Gu Mozhi, maybe it would be the same today. It must be safer to stay with Gu Mozhi than to stay alone in the room.

As a result, the players exchanged looks at each other, they cheekily stayed in the mourning hall and refused to leave.

“Are novices so dangerous? “Jian Linglong sighed as she propped her chin.

Gu Mozhi looked at the group of people indifferently: “After all, you can get out of the game after clearing the level ten times. If the number of times is less, the difficulty will naturally increase. The main god is not a charity.”

After a while, Pink Head and the female college student discussed the schedule of the vigil and submitted an application to the system. As soon as they finished talking, some players couldn’t wait to interrupt: “System, if there is only one person who will hold a vigil, can the others still stay in the mourning hall and not leave?”

The system coldly said, “No, except for the vigilante, everyone has to go back to the room and sleep well.”

With what was said …… Gu Mozhi detected a clue. Could it be that as long as he fell asleep at night in the room, there would be no ghosts to harass him?

The person who asked the question deliberately said, “Then I also have to apply as a vigilante.”

Pink Head instantly frowned, what does this guy want to do?

“He doesn’t want to set one person who will hold a vigil at night. He wants everyone to be the vigilantes just like last night.” Although Jian Linglong was young but very smart, she quickly responded at that time, ” He is either good or bad!”

Pink Head heard her whispered complaint and thought better of it. He glanced at the man boringly and said, “Then I don’t deserve it, you can hold the vigil tonight.”

Who would have thought that as soon as this person heard this, he immediately said he would quit. Things then went back to square one, and no one proposed a candidate for the vigilante.

“Why is he so annoying?” This time even the female college student couldn’t help but speak up.

Some people were not clever in other places, but this kind of opportunistic trick was very cunning.

Now even the previously unknown players understood what he meant, and they jumped out to make trouble one after another, just to prevent people from deciding on the candidate for the vigilante. Seeing that it was about to become a farce, Gu Mozhi thought they were noisy, so he simply made the final word: “Anyone who wants to stay with us?”

“Teacher? “Jian Linglong didn’t understand why Gu Mozhi was helping these people.

Gu Mozhi leaned lazily against the wall and yawned: “I have no guarantee that I will protect them. ”

This group just wishfully thought that with Gu Mozhi there, they don’t have to worry about ghosts killing people. However, Gu Mozhi could wait for ghosts to finish killing people before eating, without delaying the meal at all. He was not a human being either, and was born with no natural ability to sympathize with humans. In his opinion, ghost killing was the same as humans killing chickens. It was logical and very common. It was no big deal.

These people who were playing wishful thoughts, I’m afraid they would probably make an error.

Regardless of the joy over there, Gu Mozhi planned to get a good night’s sleep before the big meal arrives. He was now extremely grateful for the rules of the game in this instance, because the rules restrict that ghosts must come as guests every night and should not fail to come. So as long as the one who came today was not the one from yesterday, his meal will be guaranteed.

Gu Mozhi hoped that he could come across such a great instance again next time.

Jian Linglong was now basically following the teacher, she does whatever the teacher does. The teacher went to bed, so she also obediently sat down next to him and slept, ignoring the whispering players over there.

There was still no vigilante for tonight, and the system punished everyone to hold a vigil together. By three in the morning, a thudding noise sounded that came from distant and near.

Jian Linglong woke up before the sound was caught. She sniffed subconsciously, not knowing why she suddenly felt so fragrant, and wanted to eat something in particular.

She touched her stomach and felt hungry.

At this time, the thudding sound was finally loud enough for everyone to vaguely hear it. However, the sleepy players didn’t get to hear it clearly, because the sound of rain outside obscured the sound.

“Here it comes.” Gu Mozhi opened his eyes and sat up straight.

Jian Linglong looked puzzled: “What’s coming?”

“Dinner.” Gu Mozhi explained and after speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed his words, “Supper.”

Jian Linglong suddenly realized that although she didn’t know that the food at the door was actually a ghost at the moment, she was already excited and looking forward to it.

“Go and have a look.” As the sound got closer, Gu Mozhi pointed to the door and asked the little apprentice to help him check the situation.

Jian Linglong got up aggressively, ran to the door and looked around. She took a serious look at the place where the movement came from, and then turned her head to report to Gu Mozhi.

At this time, some of the players in the room had already been awakened by the sound and were nervously waking up others.

""

“It’s a ghost standing upside down. “Jian Linglong said, “He jumped on the ground with his head facing the ground, and the thudding sound was the sound of his head hitting the ground.”

Gu Mozhi was unsatisfied with the report, and asked emphatically: “Is he clean?”

The young girl reacted immediately, took a closer look for a while, and then said, “It’s not clean, he’s covered in blood!”

“Well, come back. “Gu Mozhi was satisfied now.

The onlookers who had listened to the entire conversation didn’t know what to say. Why did this unknown boss always care about such inexplicable issues? When has it been? He still has a hygienic addiction every day, but he can obviously sit on the ground at will without minding the dirt. Why does he have to dislike ghosts for their uncleanness?

Of course they didn’t understand that Gu Mozhi could tolerate anything else that was unclean, but he couldn’t tolerate that his food was dirty. In fact, it can be understood by analogy or empathy – no one could bear to have blood or sewage on their bananas, right? Even if a person only eats the flesh in the banana peel, one still couldn’t help but wash it off when they saw the dirt outside, otherwise it would affect their appetite.

In order to prevent the inverted ghost from getting the blood into the room and spilling it everywhere, Gu Mozhi had to walk to the door and wait by himself, and talk to the inverted ghost about cleanliness.

After all this tossing, the inverted ghost also jumped to the door with a thud. He had obviously heard of Gu Mozhi’s glorious deeds, and when he saw the man guarding the door, his whole body froze.

Gu Mozhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the bloody ghost in front of him, guessing that he had jumped to his death. But no matter how he died, he only cared about cleanliness, so he asked nicely: “Do you need me to help you clean it up?”

The tone of these words seemed to be that he was a cook who wanted to clean the freshly slaughtered fish, causing the inverted ghost’s hair all over his body to stood up. It quickly jumped back a few times and returned to the rain curtain, letting the rain wash itself clean.

Only then was Gu Mozhi satisfied and stepped out of the way.

The players in the room suppressed the desire to scream one by one, and watched in silence as the inverted ghosts jumped all the way to the incense burner by its hard skull, making their scalps hurt just by looking at it. But they couldn’t care about this anymore. Now a very serious question was before everyone: How could an inverted ghost get an incense stick?

He reached out and tried, but found that he couldn’t reach the incense burner and the incense beside him.

Gu Mozhi watched calmly with a look of interest, obviously watching a good show. The group of players looked at him expectantly, hoping that the other side would come forward and lead the team. However, three minutes passed and nothing happened.

The players’ faces turned ugly.

The inverted ghost obviously didn’t intend to endure it anymore. Even if there was an evil spirit standing behind him, he still tenaciously followed his “ghost setting” and the rules of the game, and began to make trouble.

“You, are you here to entertain guests like this?” Although the inverted ghost tried very hard to restrain himself from trembling, as soon as he spoke, his voice betrayed him. A good threat turned into a stutter.

Jian Linglong: “Pfft!”

Inverted ghost: “……” a lifelong prestige was ruined QAQ!1

In order to make up for it, it stared fiercely at the players within sight. Unfortunately, the other players hiding at the back door happened to be diagonally opposite it, and they saw it as soon as they opened their eyes.

After being stared at like this, the player who originally wanted to laugh couldn’t laugh anymore.

Almost in an instant, the inverted ghost disappeared in place. Jian Linglong followed the scent and found the inverted ghost hanging upside down on the beam of the room. He was now right above the players’ gathering area. He suddenly let go, and the whole ghost slammed down.

“Run!” Someone spotted the spooky thing and instantly pushed the others away and ran out of the crowd.

A group of unidentified people were knocked over by him, but at any rate it was a blessing in disguise to avoid the first attack of the inverted ghost. At this time, the players didn’t dare to gather together. There were too many people who were bad at escaping, and others would only block their way of escape.

There was a deep pit in the place where the inverted ghost had just been hit, but it failed to bury the ghost. The inverted ghost jumped as soon as it came out, and disappeared in place again.

Everyone ran away in a panic, while looking up to see if there was anything above. Since there was no time to look at the road, it was inevitable to fall during the escape, but it was much safer. After someone fell down, he found something on top of his head, and subconsciously rolled to avoid it. He was not injured, but he accidentally hit the coffin when he rolled, which scared him enough.

Jian Linglong and Gu Mozhi stood in the corner with their eyes wide open, watching with gusto. The pink head and the female college student who were busy avoiding ghosts occasionally swept past them, and couldn’t help but twitch their mouths. With the same melon-eating face 2, there was truly a brothers and sisters phase.

After a while, the two found that the surrounding area of ​​Gu Mozhi was clean and there was no dirt pit, so they consciously leaned over. Gu Mozhi didn’t refuse either, letting them borrow their shelter. On the other hand, it was much harder for other people to hide, because there were too many pits on the ground that affected their actions.

Someone accidentally got one foot stuck in, making it hard to hide. After all, the pit was too deep, and it was difficult to pull out the legs in a short time. If both legs were stuck in the pit together, then one could only ask for more luck.

Seeing that things were about to get out of control. Gu Mozhi, who had seen enough of a good show, finally took action. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the inverted ghost to smash his head into the soil, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the ghost’s leg, and directly pulled the opponent out, as if he was pulling a radish.

“Okay, mourn well. The ground is smashed like this for you, how will I go from now on?” Gu Mozhi threw him in front of the incense burner and the portrait, and beckoned to Jian Linglong, “Come and help him.”

Jian Linglong cautiously avoided the pit on the ground, walked to the side, took the initiative to help light the incense, and handed it to the inverted ghost. The inverted ghost reluctantly took the incense and worshipped. He then handed it to Jian Linglong to insert the incense burner on his behalf. It was concluded that the mourning was over.

It was so simple, the players who were out of breath after being chased looked incredulous.

However, even if they knew how to pass the level in advance, they probably wouldn’t dare to take the initiative to help deliver the incense. This group of people wished to stay far away from the ghosts that they couldn’t be counted on at all.

After the mourning was over, the land seemed to have been refreshed3, and it instantly returned to its level. Everyone dispersed and sat in the corners of the four walls with fear, and no one gathered in a pile.

But now, like a ball that had been kicked around, the danger reverted back to the inverted ghost. He looked at Gu Mozhi, who stood at the door again at some unknown time and was smiling at him, thinking that there was no hope for him to live.

How can he leave this demon alive and intact? 4
