Chapter 30 Ghost Castle 3
Author: Moon and Bear
Seeing the innocent and lovely Li Tiantian yawning sleepily, Gu Hanhan chose to compromise.
"You go to sleep. It will be just the three of us tonight, and I will take you with me tomorrow."
Although Li Tiantian was a little reluctant, he couldn't resist the effects of the medicine in the end, so he reluctantly said: "Okay." and went to bed.
Gu Hanhan and the other three did not leave the room. After discussion, they finally decided that there were too few known clues on the first night and it would easily trigger the horror rules.
Especially when Li Tiantian, who is in charge of combat effectiveness, is fast asleep, it is better to be conservative.
So everyone decided to wait in the room first, and then go out to look for clues if it didn't work.
"Ding...dong...ding...dong..."
A strange bell rang, and faint footsteps came from outside the room.
The three people who were a little sleepy immediately woke up and stared around vigilantly in case there was a ghost attack.
As time passed, some footsteps moved away from the room, and then there were footsteps approaching the room.
Gu Hanhan closed her eyes and carefully distinguished the footsteps.
There were about five people, and among the five, some were wearing leather shoes, sneakers, and high heels. There should be men and women, and there were three men and two women.
After this group of voices disappeared, another wave of footsteps was immediately heard. This time there were more people, at least ten people.
Why are there so many ghosts? Are ghosts settling in the house?
Gu Hanhan complained in his heart.
As for why she was sure that the owner of these footsteps was a ghost rather than a human being, it was because after a day of observation, she determined that there were only two people living in the castle, the uncle Duke and the old deacon, and none of these footsteps belonged to these two people.
Hiss, Gu Hanhan gradually felt a headache and her consciousness began to blur. She looked at Mo Han and Li Xinyi. Their expressions were also very bad. The situation did not look good.
[Tip: It was detected that Li Xinyi, Mo Han, and Gu Hanhan suffered a mental attack. Through system detection, it is known that the mental attack was an unintentional and non-targeted attack.
The employee protection mode is now turned on, forcing three people to sleep, with a countdown of three seconds, one, two, three...]
The system beep sounded, and Gu Hanhan and the others felt sleepy. They couldn't help but close their eyes, and the three of them fell on the sofa and fell into a deep sleep.
It was the second morning when everyone woke up. After everyone opened their eyes, they heard a familiar knock on the door.
"Dear guests, how did you sleep last night?"
The old deacon opened the door and stared directly at Gu Hanhan who was yawning.
"Not bad, I slept quite comfortably."
The old deacon showed a strange smile and then returned to his expressionless state.
"Please come to the dining room to eat after washing up. The host is waiting for you in the dining room."
After finishing speaking, the old deacon left quietly like a ghost.
After confirming that the old deacon was gone, Li Tiancai looked at Gu Hanhan and the others with excitement and asked, "What happened last night? Did you see a ghost?"
"No, I only heard footsteps, and then I was forced to sleep."
"That's it..."
Li Tiantian visibly changed from excitement to disappointment, and then to happiness after thinking about it.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened last night, otherwise he would really hate himself for being so stupid that he couldn't even see the old deacon's simple trick.
"However, I don't understand why Mr. Deacon doesn't want us to discover the existence of ghosts.
It should be confirmed by his reaction now that he knows that there are ghosts in the castle, so why has he been preventing us from getting rid of the ghosts?"
Li Xinyi asked, subconsciously looking at Gu Hanhan, trying to find an answer.
"The specific reason is not yet clear, but after meeting the mysterious guest today, there may be clues.
After all, the deacon doesn’t seem to like that guest very much.”
Gu Hanhan answered with a smile.
"Oh my dear friends, I'm so glad we can have breakfast together again."
It can be seen from Uncle Duke's enthusiastic look that Gu Hanhan's drinking contest with him last night was not in vain.
"Where's that friend of yours? The one you agreed to introduce to me last night."
"He will come in the afternoon, and maybe he will be able to have lunch with us. I can't wait to introduce him to you."
"I am looking forward too."
Gu Hanhan and the Duke had a great conversation, and after a few more gossips, Gu Hanhan got down to business.
"Can you tell us about this house being haunted?"
Uncle Duke suddenly became nervous, and the cheerful smile on his face was replaced by a serious look.
"There are often strange footsteps in this house at night, and sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I find that my hanging paintings or sculptures have been touched.
The scariest thing is that one night, I saw ghosts in the living room, and there were many ghosts."
"A lot of ghosts?"
"Yes, there are almost more than twenty, covering the whole living room.
They are translucent shadows, wearing strange clothes, walking around the living room, not knowing what they are looking at."
Li Tiantian and Li Xinyi felt their scalps numb as they listened to Uncle Duke's story.
One ghost is troublesome enough, but now there are a group of them. Is this a human sea tactic? No, it's a ghost sea tactic.
"Didn't those ghosts attack you?"
"No, they don't seem to have noticed me."
Doesn’t attack people? Is there a triggering condition? It’s impossible for these ghosts to have no other function besides scaring people, right?
Gu Hanhan was thinking, she felt like she had found a clue, but the clue flashed by before she could catch it.
"Master, that gentleman is here."
The expressionless old deacon rudely interrupted the conversation between Gu Hanhan and the Duke, and glared at Gu Hanhan before leaving.
It was obvious that this old gentleman did not want Gu Hanhan, the nuns and priests to get too close to his master.
"Oh, it came just in time.
He must be waiting for me at the small pavilion in the front yard. I will take you there right away.
Believe me, he is really a very good person, and you will definitely like him too."
Uncle Duke stood up excitedly and enthusiastically led the way for Gu Hanhan and his party.
"We are here. Look, the little brother sitting in the pavilion is very handsome."
After saying that, the uncle laughed heartily a few times, which alerted the gentleman in the pavilion.
The man whom Uncle Duke called his little brother turned around and smiled at the uncle and Gu Hanhan.
Sure enough, it's really good-looking, and it gives me a sense of déjà vu as the male protagonist of a shojo manga.
His dark brown hair was tied into a small ponytail with a string, he wore an aristocratic beige shirt with a navy vest, and his lower body was wearing black tights and boots.
He looks to be in his twenties, and his temperament is more noble than a duke.
"How's it going? Isn't it great? Do you want to get to know her?"
At this point, how could Gu Hanhan not see that the uncle Duke wanted to find a partner for his year-end date?
Unexpectedly, after entering a different world to do a terrifying mission, he would be dragged into a blind date. Gu Hanhan felt that she had never been so speechless.
