A Crowd Of Evil Spirit Lines Up To Confess To Me Chapter 16

After Gu Wu Ji had taken possession of the keys, the two quickly departed from the front desk.

At this time, that footstep sounds grew more and more louder, it was actually the chef that had gone out from the kitchen, the hand was still holding the kitchen knife, appearing very menacing and atrocious, attentively gazing at the few people with a somber gloominess.

Everyone held their breath, unlike Gu Wu Ji, w.a.n.g-ge and the others had not yet seen the chef's genuine appearance, at this moment felt so scared to the point that their hands trembled.

In the next moment, the chef suddenly advanced quickly walking to a person's direction, the kitchen knife in his hand was ferociously brandished all around, with a very strong and heavy power, and finally descended on the table near Sun Shi, a loud sound echoed along with it, the kitchen knife was actually able to directly split the table open, the wooden fragments scattered all over the place.  

Sun Shi's expression actually became deathly pale, giving a glance to the direction towards the second floor, but the path was already blocked by the buff and muscular chef, finding no other methods, he broke into a run heading outside the hotel.

At the side w.a.n.g-ge who had been talking to the personnel also became frightened, where could he even find the courage to stay here? Immediately rushing towards the second floor.

Peng Hao Cang knitted his brow and started speaking: “It seems that us obtaining the key triggered something, how terrible, we have to go up quickly.”

But quite unfortunately, their way just happened to be blocked by the chef, no matter which, their path would certainly encounter the other, unless one person will sacrifice himself here blocking the other's path, or else there would be no other way to pa.s.s.

“You head up first, let me hold him up here.” Peng Hao Cang then decisively decided.

“Is this kind of thing alright?” Gu Wu Ji stated.

“I still have some temporary life-saving items.” Peng Hao Cang while putting a bold front said: “It can still give a bit of delay, you head upstairs as soon as possible to investigate the actual events that had happened here……so that we can still have an additional chance to survive.”

With the matter just a moment ago, Peng Hao Cang noticed that Gu Wu Ji had unexpectedly for the specific purpose of driving w.a.n.g-ge away from the side of Sun Shi, who had already been attached by a malicious spirit, and even used a facade of having a stern bearing, completely not minding whether or not w.a.n.g-ge will instead actually have enmity towards him as a result of his actions…… He really didn't expect, that there would actually be a good person who wouldn't ask for anything in return appearing in this copy's world, and still be able to live in the present.

It was also because of this, that Peng Hao Cang felt that he can place his trust in Gu Wu Ji, and was willing to stay and hinder the other person here.

If it was changed to other teammates, even if it was a person from the organization, Peng Hao Cang will not have this sense of trust, who knows whether or not he will suddenly be given a pit to die* by the other person.

*to betray or be set up

“Thank you.” Gu Wu Ji also had a very solemn expression, “But, you don't need to do this.” having said so, he then walked over towards the chef's direction.

“What? Gu Wu Ji?” Peng Hao Cang immediately started speaking, “Wait, you mustn't be impulsive, even if I don't know what props you used to temporarily suppress these malicious spirits killing intent, but this kind of straightforward approach would only be a dead end--”

When the words had just descended, he saw Gu Wu Ji reach out a hand to pat the chef's arm, with a tone filled with familiarity, that was just like talking to any neighbor, “Dage*, I really want to thank you for your help just a while ago.”

*big brother: respectful address to a close male acquaintance older than you

In the next moment, the originally fiendish chef who seemed like he was about to hack everyone to death, only nodded his head at this moment, looking towards Peng Hao Cang again, the eyes apparently contained some warnings, then soon turned around returning to the kitchen.

Peng Hao Cang then felt sluggish: “???”

What, the chef was actually in collaboration with Gu Wu JI?

“In fact, I actually find it embarra.s.sing that I couldn't tell you this idea a while ago,” Gu Wu Ji with his voice taking an apologetic tone started talking: “After all, Sun Shi was there, who knows whether or not he would do something to obstruct us, once he sees us heading to the third floor, that's the reason why I already sent a request to the chef-dage earlier.”

“How did you actually accomplish it……”

“It may be because their child was happy playing with me, so a lot of favorable impression towards me has also increased.” Gu Wu Ji said while being deeply moved: “After all, even ghosts, will also have a harmoniously warm family, so don't use eyes with discrimination when looking at them.”

Peng Hao Cang felt that his 3 views had been refreshed, and generally sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with Gu Wu Ji's words but it also sounded and appeared very reasonable.

The two then hurriedly pa.s.sed through the second floor heading to the third floor, arriving to the target location in front the room's door, Gu Wu Ji took out the key, successfully opening the door.

But the scene that entered their eyes was an image of an utterly wrecked room, just like the personnel room next to it, blood were splattered everywhere, all the furniture were chaotically lying on the ground, evidently there was some sort of intense struggle that had happened here in the past.

Peng Hao Cang carefully observed the surroundings, then saw Gu Wu Ji crouching on the floor at that side, picking up a doll filled with blood.

There were also a lot of things just like the doll on the surroundings, things that were meticulously prepared for a child, but these things were scattered on the floor at this moment, all were utterly in ruins, just like this family's room in general.

It can be seen from the various details, that before something happened in this place, it should have been a cozy hotel opened by a family, right until that single day, when everything completely changed.

Gu Wu Ji couldn't help but tightly grip the doll in his hand.

At this moment, the innermost door of the room was pushed open, in this way the old woman holding the child appeared before the sight of the two people.

She had blood constantly dripping from her face and neck, the whole person was just like walking over from a pool of blood, there were new wounds that were cut by a sharp weapon constantly appearing on the body, making the image become increasingly horrible.

Peng Hao Cang's complexion changed, and considered that it was already not the time to be low-key, taking out his life-saving props.

Gu Wu Ji at that side suddenly stood up, fixedly watching towards the old woman's direction.

“Please tell me, what had actually happened here.” Gu Wu Ji then unhurriedly went over, after thoroughly seeing the entire room, his facial expression became gloomy, the mission's task was suddenly thrown at the back of the mind by him.

He just wanted to know, who in the end could have actually done this kind of wicked behaviour.

Peng Hao Cang at this point finally couldn't help himself, and quickly started speaking to him: “According to some information which I have previously received, in this hotel the old woman is the most dangerous existence, and must definitely avoid any kind of confrontation with her, and that ghost baby she has in her embrace is the malicious spirit that is the most completely crazy and ridiculously--”

Having spoken this much Peng Hao Cang suddenly remembered about the previous matter of Gu Wu Ji harmoniously playing with the ghost baby, making the words immediately become stuck in his throat.

Perhaps in this scene, he is the only person who still cares about this kind of matters, ah!

The old woman completely disregarded Peng Hao Cang, she looked at Gu Wu Ji for a while, and soon after heaved a sigh, reaching her hands over, the ghost baby in her arm which had unknowingly fallen into a deep sleep was very naturally handed over to him.

Gu Wu Ji with skillful movement took the child, the movement of the two people were smoothly done, making Peng Hao Cang stupefied.

“You are a good child.” The voice of the old woman sounded, seemingly having a bit of appreciation.

Soon after a fierce gust of wind then immediately blew over, the two subconsciously closed their eyes, by the time they opened their eyes again, the old woman's figure have already long disappeared, a piece of paper at the corner was blown over by the wind, immediately flying towards the side of Gu Wu Ji, he caught it by reaching his hand out.

This was impressively a piece of newspaper, the other parts were already torn up, only leaving a part, the writing was about a serial killer case that had happened in the nearby areas, and was asking the residents in the vicinity to be careful, as it was extremely possible that the serial killer had not yet left.

Seeing this, any individual could then clearly understand, what in the end had actually happened in this hotel.

As a matter of fact, in the scenes that Gu Wu Ji previously saw through xiao Xin's soul, the reflection of Sun Shi in the mirror seems to appear exceedingly normal, but the strange thing was, impressively on one of his hand, that one hand was holding a sharp weapon coated with blood.

However, this peculiarity was not very obvious, xiao Xin at that time was too frightened by the baby ghost, and was unable to notice this in that brief moment. But when she went back to her room, she suddenly became aware of this matter.

It was just everything was already too late, she in this way tragically died in the hands of the evil spirit.

Gu Wu Ji at that time already had some speculations, but because there was also no evidence to support it, the system will also not recognize it as the task being completed, now that everything was already flowing smoothly and in order.

[Mainline task: Investigate what had actually happened inside this old hotel, has been completed.]

[As it turns out, this was once a warmhearted family operating a hotel as a family business for board and lodging, frequently giving emergency relief to the homeless wanderers. However, for the first time this good intentions lead the wolf in the house, the person helped was that fugitive serial killer.

*to act imprudently, asking for trouble

The family of four was completely ma.s.sacred and mutilated, the seven months pregnant daughter-in-law after being raped and killed, had her stomach opened, fishing the fetus out, the weeping baby ghost evoked a strong curse, the family of five became evil spirits killing and eating the killer until nothing was left.]

Peng Hao Cang facial expression changed, this was really very different from the information which he had gotten, in the information he knew of, it was completely because of an internal contradiction in the family which lead to everyone's death. It seems that after returning to the organization at this time the preceding actions should be more cautious.

Gu Wu Ji's facial expression also became more gloomy, he did not expect that this family had actually previously encountered this kind of ruthless incident. Sometimes, people on the contrary, are much more dreadful compared to ghosts.

[Just that, the killer's soul in the same way also turned into a malicious spirit, and is lurking within your team.

At this moment, after killing a number of people, this evil spirit had already broken free of it's restrictions, just waiting to kill the last living person, to be able to become into the most frightening evil spirit!]

[Mainline task update: Get out the hotel alive.]

After the sound of the system descended, the sound of footsteps sounded from outside the door.

The two turned their heads to look over, appearing outside the door, was Sun Shi, no, it should be the evil spirit that possessed the body of Sun Shi.

At this moment Sun Shi's face has already been distorted, just like a combination of another person, his hand holding the sharp weapon coated with blood, the clothes on his body has also already been splattered by blood from head to toe.

“It seems that you already know the truth.” Sun Shi grimly laughed, “But it's already too late.”

Gu Wu Ji opened his mouth and said: “Was w.a.n.g-ge killed by you?”

“That's right.” Sun Shi sardonically smiled, “That guy was very stupid, after killing him, the two of you simply cannot be my opponents at all, so be obedient and wait for me to kill you, ok?”

Peng Hao Cang subconsciously pulled Gu Wu Ji back while retreating a few steps.

This guy was already a vicious killer when he was living, now it is estimated he won't be that easy to deal with after death.

In addition, the windows inside the third floor room were completely sealed, it was impossible to think about jumping down the building, the only way to go out and leave was through the door, but he was blocking the path ahead, the two of them simply didn't have any place to get out.  

Peng Hao Cang knows that, to get out alive at this moment, the only option was to betray his teammate.

However, looking towards Gu Wu Ji at the side, Peng Hao Cang couldn't do it. Even if he couldn't be said to be a good person, even formerly doing all kinds of various means to exploit and sacrifice newcomers to save himself, and was also able to indifferently watch other people die, but…… How could he lay a hand towards this kind of good person?

After completing several copies, he had always believed that his sense of conscience has already died out, but after seeing Gu Wu Ji, he then realized that this kind of person who tries to be on good terms with everyone still existed.

“Forget it.” Peng Hao Cang heaved a sigh, “Wait for me to stall him, you will first--”

Having spoken this much, Peng Hao Cang suddenly felt that this was somewhat familiar, why does it seem like he had already once said this kind of thing when they were downstairs just a while ago.

Peng Hao Cang turned his head, to see that the baby ghost in Gu Wu Ji's embrace has already opened his pair of eyes, the chilly and sinister anger in the eyes was extremely horrifying.

Peng Hao Cang: “……” It is estimated that he also does not need to do anything at this time, but why was there a slightly regretful feeling?

Because of the positioning problem, Sun Shi basically did not see the baby ghost that was still in Gu Wu Ji's embrace, but rather sneered walking over step by step, while also playing with the sharp weapon in his hand.

“Thinking about being able to slowly torture you guys to death, makes my heart feel incomparably happy and at ease.”

“Even if those people I killed before also became malicious spirits, so what? As long as I kill you, they will still be no match for me.”

“It's really ridiculous, obviously a ghost, but was still required to abide what rules and cannot arbitrarily kill, if it were up to me, I would have already killed you and all these people as early as the first day, to be able to see that time come, who will still be capable of obstructing me.”

Sun Shi at this time was simply very proud of himself, completely speaking all his true and deepest feelings, having a twisted expression as well as raising a gloomy and cold smile, the sharp weapon on his hand was immediately brandished forward towards the direction of the two.

In the next moment, his wrist, was directly pinched and held by Gu Wu Ji, unexpectedly, the knife in his hands was not able slash down for a long while.

Sun Shi, in an instant became stunned, he was very clear about how much his own strength was since turning into a ghost, how could this person be a human being? Is he still actually a human being?

Previously, he did not entertain the thoughts of laying his hands on Gu Wu Ji, because that baby ghost in his embrace might still have some strange abilities, but now that he had become much stronger, he simply did not need to fear at all.

Sun Shi then reacted, and suddenly started to sneer, “In the end you are also nothing more but a mere human being, do you really believe that your strength can actually compete with a ghost?”  

Saying so the shape of his face became even more distorted, the neck was also broken, immediately intending to go toward Gu Wu Ji's direction to bite, but heard the sound of Gu Wu Ji's voice.

“Go--”

In the next moment, the baby ghost in Gu Wu Ji's embrace suddenly scuttled to Sun Shi's body, the originally lovable appearance when on Gu Wu Ji's side had already completely faded away, changing into that horrifying appearance he had when appearing for the first time, the sharp and densely packed teeth directly bit the neck of Sun Shi who was before him.

This kind of bite was directly able to take off a large piece of flesh, letting Peng Hao Cang have a tingling sensation on the scalp at the side.

“d.a.m.n it!” Sun Shi completely didn't expect such a thing to happen, the pair of eyes filled with the scarlet red color, while the other hand furiously seized the body of the ghost baby.  

How can Gu Wu Ji make him succeed? His body then suddenly slammed past.

If it was an ordinary person who had done this, it was estimated that nothing would have happened to Sun Shi, but the force Gu Wu Ji used to go over, was almost like being hit by a small car, letting Sun Shi this evil spirit stumble, the moment the action paused, the ghost baby has already been able to bite off a number of flesh in his body, the body's resentment has also increasingly strengthened.

Sun Shi was unresigned wanting to kill the ghost baby on his body, but at this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the surrounding area.

All the ghosts inside the hotel had shown up one by one, with a malevolent and terrible appearances, the st.i.tches on their body became extremely obvious. Not just the old woman who was the landlady and the married chef with his wife, the three personnel, as well as the innocent pa.s.ser-by that were also killed, now all of them had appeared at this time.   

“W-what do you want to do?!” Sun Shi face suddenly revealed an appalling look, making his face appear more twisted, “Quickly scram!”

These ghosts were looking at Sun Shi with an expression br.i.m.m.i.n.g with resentment, how could they let go of this opportunity for revenge, immediately rushing over to tear and bite Sun Shi's body, in a moment the mournful and miserable screams constantly resounded.

Just listening to this sounds can make the people's scalp numb, it is completely possible to imagine at this moment how much suffering this evil spirit is experiencing because of committing all sorts of misdeeds whether it was before or after his death.

“We should quickly leave.” Peng Hao Cang hastily said, he was worried that if they waited after Sun Shi has been completely swallowed up, it might be them who will then be bitten to death by these ghosts.

Gu Wu Ji nodded his head, turning to look at these ghosts for a while, then quickly walked down the stairs with Peng Hao Cang.

“But I really didn't expect these things to be actually so simple.” Peng Hao Cang previously believed that he will have a narrow escape.

As a matter of fact, in this copy if the favorable impression of the baby ghost, hotel owner and the other ghosts were not brushed, even if the actual facts was discovered in the end, the other ghost will also not appear, then only the player himself and the killer's ghost will play a game of survival to escape.

By chance, if the favorable impression of one or two ghosts were happened to be brushed, then the task will become much easier.

But up to present beyond Gu Wu Ji, other people whether old or young who will be able to brush the others favorable impression were estimated to never appear, it was really astonishing to actually be able to make the final hurdle become very easy in an instant.

Peng Hao Cang suddenly recalled all the events that had happened in the copy now, and really felt that Gu Wu Ji had some impressive means.

The two smoothly arrived at the hotel's entrance, at this time the the fog outside, had just revealed the path before their eyes for them to be able to leave.

“I will also have to say goodbye here.” Peng Hao Cang said to Gu Wu Ji: “As a matter of fact, what I had previously told you was a lie, even if you meet in the copy's world, but after leaving, the memory will become vague, and in the end will not be able to remember who the other people we are with beyond ourselves.”

Even if he feels that such a person like Gu Wu Ji would have been aware of it in such an earlier time.

“So it was actually like this, ah……” Gu Wu Ji suddenly realized, so that's why Ren Hui from the first copy's world also did not get in touch with him after getting out.

Peng Hao Cang: “……” In the end is this really not knowing or just an act!

Peng Hao Cang had already given up on pondering about this issue, he hesitated a bit, but still took out a slip of paper he carried handing it over to Gu Wu Ji, “This paper is a special item, capable of taking any messages outside the copy's world, above is my contact information, you can look for me in case you encounter something.”

“Alright.” Gu Wu Ji nodded his head.

“In addition, I'm actually a person from the organization.” Peng Hao Cang said, “I came into this copy, just to be able to kill you as well as take your ability……but didn't do anything in the end, in the future regardless whether it's my organization or some other person, it's possible to have some thoughts about you, in short, it's still better for you to be a bit more careful, okay?”

Even though after Peng Hao Cang once again thought a bit about the events that had just taken place, he then felt that for those people who wanted to aim at Gu Wu Ji, perhaps it was still comparatively better to worry about themselves. Gu Wu Ji upon leaving this copy was practically very vigorous and lively.

After finally saying these words, Peng Hao Cang felt a lot of relief, then left in a hurry.

Gu Wu Ji then finally turned to look back for a final glimpse at the haunted hotel. At this time under the illumination of the daylight, it appeared to be very pleasant and calm.

“Goodbye.” He murmured softly to himself, then also turned around and left.

It goes without saying, that he was not a person from this copy's world, now that the killer's matter had also been resolved, this family of ghosts should also be able to have a peaceful life, right?

In the place at the third floor, a figure was just staring at the silhouette of Gu Wu Ji's back slowly fading away at the end of the path.

Under the dim light, it can be seen to be a youth that would appear to be 12 to 13 years of age, the overall delicate countenance can give people a type of unspeakable sense of strangeness.

This is the power as well as the grown up body that had also been obtained by the baby ghost after tearing and biting Sun Shi.

He fixedly stared at the back of Gu Wu Ji, and quietly said, “We will absolutely meet again.”
