"Tap, tap."
A series of quick footsteps sounded in the attic. Soon, a figure swaggered from the first floor to the second floor, and then approached from the second floor.
After careful observation, Gu Zheng found that this place was the same as before. There were no ghosts, and the meatball outside the attic, even if it heard the commotion, it would not be able to come in. Therefore, he was very relieved.
Although he did not know where he was and how far away he was from leaving this place, it did not stop him from wanting to get the golden jade round jade.
This was because he felt that this thing was a bit strange. Moreover, for them to fall here directly from above, there must be a reason for the round jade. As for why it was like this, he would have to go up and meet the so-called black cat to find out from it.
Soon, he arrived at the innermost part. The decorations here looked very luxurious, but it seemed that no one had been here for a long time, so it looked a bit cold.
"It's blocked?"
Gu Zheng stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wooden door. He went forward and pushed it, but found that the wooden door did not move at all. It was as if it had been sealed. Through the gap, he could see a ray of golden light rising from inside.
This made him a little disappointed, but it was also within his expectations. He could not be so lucky. He turned back and carefully searched the second floor.
However, after a while, Gu Zheng returned to the door with disappointment. This was because there was no mechanism at all, and there was only the path in front of him.
"It should require something similar to that ghost girl to be able to pass through this kind of door."
Gu Zheng thought of the ghost girl's bell and the way to pass through the wooden door. Perhaps there was something similar at the place where they gathered. He did not go there, and instead came through the golden door. Perhaps he could not get it.
He sighed and prepared to leave. Even if the golden jade was in front of him, there was no way to go in. He could only give up.
"Got it!"
When he came down from the second floor, he heard the sound of the meatball running from outside. Suddenly, he had an idea.
This wooden door was indeed very hard, but the meatball could break through it. He just needed to take some risks and lure it over.
After thinking for a while, he was still confident and immediately began to act.
This time, Gu Zheng tiptoed towards the main entrance of the building. Soon, he arrived in front of the door. While the meatball was far away, he opened the door slightly to see what was going on outside.
When he was outside, he knew the patrolling route of the meatball. To put it simply, the meatball would run back and forth from the main entrance of the loft, which was where he was. It would never get tired, and other than turning around at both ends, it would never stop.
However, the other party's speed was very fast. In just a few breaths of time, he would be able to reach the end of one side. He was also taking advantage of this time to see if he could attract the other party's attention. If the other party did not come, then he would have to give up.
Gu Zheng no longer hesitated when he felt a figure flying past him like a gust of wind. He immediately opened the door and rushed out.
"Hey, Meatball!"
Gu Zheng shouted at the meatball who was about to turn around.
The meatball's head heard him and immediately turned 180 degrees. When it saw Gu Zheng, its eyes instantly turned red. At the same time, a hissing sound came from its mouth, as if it was happy to see its prey. Its body quickly turned around and pounced towards Gu Zheng.
When Gu Zheng saw the other party's appearance at the same time that he was discovered, he was also happy in his heart. His body immediately retreated inside.
However, when Gu Zheng ran to the middle of the building, the other party's body had already appeared at the door. Although it was very fast, it did not stop it from rushing in quickly and continued to chase after Gu Zheng.
With a slight grab of its hand, its body flew up quickly as if it was being pulled by an invisible rope. It landed on the stairs not far away and rushed up to the second floor in a few steps. After that, it continued to run towards the innermost part of the building.
All the doors along the way had already been opened. Even some of the furniture that would disturb him had been moved to the side so that it would not hinder him.
Gu Zheng did not dare to look back. He knew how fast the meatball's speed was. If he was even a step slower, the other party might catch up to him.
"Pa pa pa"
A few crackling sounds came from beside Gu Zheng's ears, followed by a heavy sound. The meatball actually broke through the wooden wall in the middle and rushed towards him at the fastest speed.
At this time, he had already reached the entrance of the last room, and the meatball was in the middle. When it saw Gu Zheng, it immediately changed its direction and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng accelerated and disappeared from the entrance. At the same time, the meatball also arrived at Gu Zheng's location. Its speed was even faster than when they first met.
The next moment, after the meatball rushed into the room without slowing down, it lost sight of Gu Zheng. However, the other party's special aura made it feel that he was still in this place. This made the meatball go berserk as it patrolled around.
However, there was no hiding place in this room. It could see clearly at a glance.
At this time, suddenly a sound came from the door in the distance. It was as if someone was moving from there and accidentally touched something.
The meatball rushed over without hesitation, but it did not find any trace of the other party.
"Ka"
At this time, a slight sound came from in front of it. It immediately attracted its attention, and it immediately rushed over.
"Bang"
However, it directly hit a door and was stuck in place. The violent meatball directly rammed forward. After ramming more than ten times, the seemingly ordinary wooden door finally could not withstand the other party's ramming and broke open. The meatball finally entered the room.
Of course, there was no one inside. After the meatball did not find any trace of Gu Zheng, it quickly retreated and followed the original path and left this place.
Gu Zheng, who had been hiding on the beam, was curled up in a corner. When he felt that the other party had completely left, he came down from above.
Based on his position, only in a certain place could he be seen. Otherwise, he would be completely blocked by the beam. It seemed that the meatball's luck was very bad. It did not find him at all.
"Hehe, it seems that these ghosts are really stupid."
Gu Zheng thought proudly as he quickly walked towards the broken entrance.
After a period of familiarization, he had also abandoned the last trace of fear he had for these ghosts. Now, when he entered the previous place, those ghost girls and whatnot would not even be able to touch his shadow.
They could only bully those who did not have cultivation and were not familiar with them. Those who were slightly familiar with them could avoid them, as long as their luck was not that bad.
Even if their cultivation was higher, Gu Zheng believed that even if they saw him, it would be very easy to get rid of them. However, it was better to keep a low profile and not bump into them. After all, he was still a bit weak and did not have a good way to deal with the other party's dark aura.
Moreover, if the other party came up with some strange ability, it would be better not to court death.
Gu Zheng stopped his wild thoughts and stood in front of the golden jade.
This golden jade looked a little different from the one Gu Zheng had encountered before. This was because the previous golden jade did not have anything on the surface at all. It was just like a clean jade. However, this golden jade in front of him had some strange patterns on it.
It seemed to be arranged in a very orderly manner, but if one looked carefully, they would find that they were randomly arranged together. It was impossible to tell what they were.
Moreover, it looked even more dazzling. It was much more conspicuous than the previous golden jade.
Gu Zheng rubbed his chin and carefully sized up the golden jade in front of him. He was a little hesitant.
Although the size was the same, why did it feel a little strange? However, the aura was exactly the same as the golden jade. This made him a little uncertain. He did not know what use this thing had.
"Who cares? Let's get it first. If it doesn't work, I'll just throw it away."
There was nothing in this room except for this table. Gu Zheng patted his head and immediately thought.
What was the point of wasting time here? Maybe, like before, it could be used at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng no longer hesitated. He stepped forward and took the golden jade floating in the air into his hand.
The familiar feeling came again. It could be said that it was exactly the same as the golden jade. At most, there were some patterns.
This was Gu Zheng's first reaction when he held it in his hand. He then held it in front of his eyes, wanting to see the patterns more clearly. However, he did not notice that a light had risen from under his feet. It began to brighten up along the table. In the blink of an eye, it had circled around the table.
Gu Zheng looked at the golden jade a few times. He still did not know what use the patterns on it had. Just as he was about to leave this place, the light on the ground suddenly lit up and the ground under his feet suddenly became empty.
The next moment, Gu Zheng's figure fell directly and disappeared from the floor, leaving only the lonely red table.
"This is?"
Gu Zheng only felt a flash of light around him. Before he could react, his vision blurred and he suddenly changed places.
"Ding ling"
Suddenly, a bell rang not far from his ear, causing Gu Zheng to suddenly shiver. He almost dropped the golden jade in his hand and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
He found that only a few feet away from him, a ghost girl in a red robe was there, shaking the bell in her hand and facing him.
However, the ghost girl's face was wearing a crying face mask. Although he could not see her expression, it was even more terrifying.
Gu Zheng looked at the ghost girl, who kept shaking the bell in her hand. It was very rhythmic like the ghost girl. Her body did not move at all, as if she did not notice him. This made him feel a little relieved. He looked around and wondered why he had appeared in this place again.
He was in the same situation as the ghost girl. At this moment, he was in a red dungeon. There were a few empty dungeons next to it. They were all locked up with red solid wood that was as thick as a person's thigh.
At the only entrance, there was a red lock that locked the two of them together. However, the doors of the other dungeons were already open.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng felt a little more at ease. It wasn't because of the omnipresent candlelight that he didn't feel dark. Instead, it was because although the cell in front of him looked tough, to the point where even a meatball wouldn't be able to break it open, there were still some gaps in the middle.
Against these simple-minded ghost girls and meatballs, it was quite easy to trap them. However, to him, all he had to do was shrink his body and crawl out. He did not even need to use the key.
Gu Zheng was already standing outside, looking at the ghost girl's figure. She turned around and was still looking at him, observing him. He ignored her and put away the golden jade, preparing to see how he could leave this place.
Even though the ghost girl was unusually calm, if other ghost girls saw him, they would immediately go crazy and pounce at him with red light. However, this ghost girl was like an idiot. Apart from looking at him foolishly, she did not even move her feet.
"Ding ling"
Gu Zheng's ears twitched, and he looked behind him. Not too far away, there was a passageway, and it seemed that another sound was coming from there.
Following another sound, his body immediately crawled into the opposite cell. There were no candlelight there, and it was pitch-black.
This was the best place to hide, and he could only pray that the ghost girl could not see him.
As soon as Gu Zheng entered, he felt around and was delighted. This was because there was a large wooden barrel inside. Even though he did not know what it was for, it was enough for him to hide.
Just as he hid, a ghost girl walked out of the passageway and walked towards where Gu Zheng had been.
The ghost girl seemed to be blind and came to the door. A red light came out of the bell and opened the red lock. She walked in and stood there, looking around suspiciously. However, she did not find anything. Only then did she leave and walk back through the passageway.
Gu Zheng did not understand what the other party was doing. It was as if she was looking for him. Seeing the other party leave, he also walked out of this place and walked towards the wooden door on the other side.
There were only two paths in this place. One was the passageway that the ghost girl had come from. It seemed to lead to somewhere else, while the other side was a wooden door. He did not know where it led to.
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng pushed the door and cursed in his heart. This wooden door was the same as the previous one. It was completely locked at the back. In other words, he could enter from the front, or it was controlled by the switch. He had no way of breaking this door.
Helpless, he could only turn back and carefully approach the other passageway, wanting to see where it led.
However, just as he carefully turned the corner, Gu Zheng was dumbfounded. Not far in front of him was another wooden door. He immediately had a bad premonition.
Soon, he returned dejectedly because the wooden door could not be opened. Now, he was completely trapped in this small place.
"Meng Zhen, if you can save me, I'll call it a draw with you."
Gu Zheng, who had been carefully searching around for a long time, finally leaned against the fence and said weakly. Unfortunately, the other party did not appear here.
This place was indeed like a prison. There was no way out.
Soon, three days passed. During this period, no one came to save him, and no one came in. It was exactly the same as when he first entered. Perhaps it would continue like this.
Even the painting spirit beside him was the same as before. She was always looking at him, and the bell in her hand was still ringing non-stop.
"Do you know that you're giving me a headache? You're so annoying! "
Gu Zheng had thought of countless ways in the past three days, but he still could not think of a way to leave this place. Hearing the ghost girl beside him still shaking him non-stop, he said impatiently.
Just as he finished speaking, the bell behind him suddenly stopped ringing.
Gu Zheng did not notice at first and was still thinking of a way. However, the silence in the air made him a little surprised. He could not help but turn around to look at the ghost girl.
The other party was still looking at him, but the bell in her hand was no longer shaking. Only then did he realize that the other party seemed to have not moved for a long time. This made him a little interested. The other party seemed to be able to understand his words.
Gu Zheng walked outside the cage where the ghost girl was locked up and sized her up. In fact, this was the first time he had carefully observed her. Before this, he did not pay attention to her at all.
This made Gu Zheng even more puzzled. The other party did not seem to be a ghost.
"If you can understand me, can you ring the bell twice?" Gu Zheng looked at the red lock in front of him and asked tentatively.
"Ding Ling"
Two crisp sounds of the bell rang in the air. The other party responded to Gu Zheng's words in a timely manner.
This made Gu Zheng a little surprised. He did not expect the other party to really understand him. Could it be that the other party also came in from the outside and then became like this for some reason?
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng felt that there was a deep conspiracy in this place. Even the seemingly kind black cat made him even more suspicious.
"You want me to help you? If yes, ring the bell five times. "Gu Zheng stood up straight and looked at the other party as he spoke again.
The other party understood and shook the bell five times again. However, her body still did not move. She could only stay in place. She was still wearing a mask, so he could not see her expression.
"But how can I help you? I can't even get out of here. "Gu Zheng was sure that the other party still had her own thoughts, but he still said with a bitter smile.
She could not even protect herself, yet she still wanted to help others. She was really overestimating herself.
After the ghost girl heard this, the bell in her hand shook again, as if expressing her opinion.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's stiff body. It was as if he was locked in a puppet's body. However, he did not understand what the other party was trying to tell him.
"Oh? Could it be this? "
Gu Zheng looked at the other party, and the bell kept ringing. When he looked at the other party's mask, he suddenly remembered the mask that was filled with a strange smile, and the Mask Bug. It seemed to be exactly the same as the mask in front of him, but the expression was different. He took out the golden jade that he had put away earlier.
It seemed that this was the only thing he had that could be related to the other party. The white and red crystals seemed to be used to deal with ghosts. They were not used at all.
When the golden jade came out, the ghost girl's bell suddenly stopped. Then, it rang again and again. Then, it rang again and again. This allowed Gu Zheng to easily understand the other party's thoughts.
Gu Zheng's hand moved slightly. Then, under his control, the golden jade connected to a black line behind it and slowly approached the other party.
The ghost girl had stopped moving. It was as if she was looking forward to something, waiting for the golden jade to come closer.
Just as it approached the other party, the golden jade gradually began to emit light. Under Gu Zheng's eyes, it turned into a golden mask. It automatically left Gu Zheng's control and covered the ghost girl's face.
Under his gaze, the golden mask landed perfectly on the other party's face. At the same time, a strong golden light emerged from it.
