Gu Mo walked down from the top floor of an unfinished building in a dim environment. As he approached the bottom floor, he vaguely heard voices.
He couldn't help but frown slightly. It was already close to two o'clock in the morning in the real world. Who would come to such a ghost place? Although there was a small gang activity here before, they were scared away by him. It's coming, and it's not like it's still active at this time.
Subconsciously, he stepped lightly.
If it were Gu Mo in the past, he would be alone in such a group of unfinished buildings in the suburbs in the middle of the night. Listening to the sound of the night wind whistling outside, he suddenly became aware of strange noises coming from the otherwise empty building. You may be frightened.
But now, he has no idea about this at all - it's not that he has concluded that it can't be a ghost or anything at the first time, it's just because he doesn't feel scared at all... After all, he just returned from the previous one. When the world withdraws, I don’t know how many of these things will be beaten to death.
"...The story I'm going to tell you next is called The Schoolhouse of Wrong Souls..."
Deliberately suppressed voices came from the floor below, as if they were pretending to be mysterious. Although such whispers did not reach the level of whispering into the ear, they were not far off. If it wasn't just one floor away, Gu Mo's hearing might not be able to catch it now.
He stood at the top of the stairs on the upper floor, looking at the swaying firelight below, listening to the young man's voice mysteriously telling ghost stories, and occasionally some suppressed exclamations and surprises from other people. As soon as he agreed, his whole expression became quite subtle.
After listening patiently for a while, he roughly understood the specific situation amid the mixed conversations of those people.
It seems that I have to start from before I entered the dungeon. In order to clear the place, I scared away the small group that was operating near this unfinished building. However, some myths and rumors spread because of this. Now it seems that they are just a group of hormones. A surplus of young men and women come here in the middle of the night looking for excitement.
"I'm so busy..."
Gu Mo sighed softly, feeling a little nostalgic for his previous days. However, although he was quite leisurely before, he would not do such a thing and would rather stay at home and play games.
Open your eyes wide and scan around, using your own spiritual vision to confirm that there is indeed no strange atmosphere in the surrounding environment. The real world seems to be an ordinary and unremarkable world... especially For Gu Mo, who has begun to master special energy, he can feel the lack of "spiritual energy" in the real world.
It was as if his eyes were born to see and his ears were born to hear. After transforming into his first energy form, he seemed to have gained a mysterious sense of perception, and the whole world was different. He could roughly feel that there was some strange energy floating between heaven and earth.
And although it had only just transformed into extraordinary power not long ago, Gu Mo could probably feel that perhaps special energy should be like this - it could be obtained through the transformation of life force, or it could be supplemented by absorbing external energy.
The external energy mentioned here refers to something similar to the vitality of the world. It is difficult for Gu Mo to describe the specifics. He can only say that it is roughly the nature of such a feeling.
During the Warring States Period, he did not have special energy, so he did not know what the situation was like in that world. In the previous copy of the Modern God Story, he felt this feeling for the first time. It’s a clear comparison, but it’s hard to understand what level it is.
It was only now that he returned to the real world that Gu Mo suddenly realized that he, who had just adapted to the spiritual environment, was now like a fish flapping on the shore.
If the previous hospital could only allow him to make a preliminary judgment, now it has basically confirmed the general situation of the entire real world. There is almost no aura at all, which is very consistent with the positioning of reality without any miracles and magic.
He no longer stopped, but walked straight downstairs. The sound of brisk footsteps echoed in the empty and silent building, which seemed abrupt and ethereal.
After all, it is an unfinished building. It only built a framework and has been abandoned to this day. It has no decoration and is as empty as a pigeon cage. Moreover, it is located in the suburbs. There is not much popularity around it. It is quiet in the dead of night and everything is silent. The sound will be amplified and appear weird for no reason.
It's just that Gu Mo didn't cover up his steps at all, and on the floor downstairs, the seven or eight young people gathered around a bonfire in the empty hall seemed to be completely unaware, and they were still talking vividly alone. While he was telling his own ghost story, several other people hugged their knees and listened quietly with bated breath.
The place where they were sitting was some distance away from the stairs, but not too far. Gu Mo came down from above and saw them at a glance, but of course he had no interest in joining in the fun, so he didn't say hello or anything, but He stopped and looked at it for a while, then turned around and continued walking downstairs.
And just after his footsteps faded away, about six or seven minutes passed, the young man telling the story finally stopped and looked around with satisfaction, waiting for the reaction of his companions.
"what……"
"That's right, I thought there would be some twist in the end."
"Can you do it? I thought you were joking!"
After a short silence, his companions had subtle expressions on their faces and began to discuss in a whirlwind manner. They all denounced that his horror story was a joke. They were unanimous in their opinions. This made the young man's expression a little unbearable, and he became very angry with embarrassment. shouted.
"What are you yelling about! What are you yelling about! Isn't that what you said before? A murder caused by a steamed bun, isn't it also funny?"
"Nonsense! That's a horror story I carefully prepared for several days, okay! Weren't you all scared just now?" A fat boy opposite had an unacceptable look on his face, and was angry that his friend wanted to escape Accusing, even opening your eyes and telling lies is dragging yourself down.
"..."
"..."
"Hey! Why are you all silent? Is it just out of politeness that you applauded me just now?" Sensing that the atmosphere suddenly became subtle, the fat boy seemed to have thought of something and pointed at the group of plastic friends with a shocked look on his face. Can't accept this fact.
"Well...it's okay for everyone to know some things, so why bother saying them..."
Some people smiled awkwardly and tried to fool around by saying haha.
"Okay, okay, are you all just having fun? There's no need to be so serious... I just took a photo of Ah Quan. Do you want to take a look, or who's turn it is, and start right away?" The cute girl in the soft hat with rabbit ears took the initiative to smooth things over and waved the mobile phone in her hand.
From the beginning, she was filming everyone's performance, and naturally the boy just now was also filmed.
"Let's take a look first, let's see if Brother Quan is photogenic..."
"That's right, let's learn. If mine is too ugly, I will take another one..."
"Me too……"
A group of people swarmed around the girls, watching the shooting effects like before. They were not video broadcasters, but they were also not people who often stayed up late at night and went to abandoned properties in the suburbs to tell ghost stories. It was also a ridiculous experience worth remembering.
Even though it was just noisy and I came here as soon as I slapped my forehead, I finally found no evidence that there was any haunting here, and I was so bored that I didn’t know what to do, so it developed into a situation where I spent long nights telling ghost stories here... But It was also a very interesting experience, and of course I had to record it.
"...The story I'm going to tell you next is called The Schoolhouse of Wrong Souls..."
The video started to play, and a clear voice came from the mobile phone, and a group of people couldn't help but laugh.
Only the young man named Ah Quan was not too comfortable, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he had just seen others and knew that everyone was the same. They were not professionals. They were just taking pictures and having fun. Everyone was just having fun. , don’t take it too seriously.
However, not long after the video was played, strange noises came from the video.
"What sound?" someone asked with a frown.
"It sounds like... footsteps?" The others listened carefully and found that besides the sound of storytelling, a footstep slowly appeared.
Neither light nor heavy, from far to near.
It seemed that there was a sound of footsteps coming from upstairs first, slowly walking down, then passing by this floor, and then walking down again... It was a normal thing at first, but everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and just felt At the same time, my heart went crazy.
After all, except for them, where else could anyone else come from this empty unfinished building? They had already checked it thoroughly before it got dark. This was true for every room on every floor. There was nothing missing. ...How could someone else come down from upstairs?
And at that time just now, everyone was sitting here, and the stairs were over there... It was impossible to say that they couldn't hear it, they could only see it at a glance.
"Wait, wait... did you capture something here...?"
A girl's voice was trembling, and she stretched out her finger tremblingly, pointing to a corner of the phone screen.
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was at the corner of the shooting angle, facing a part of the stairs. Due to the angle and hand shake, they were not able to capture the whole thing, and it was not particularly clear. However, one can definitely see a pair of feet walking down from above, and then paused there for a while before turning around and disappearing from the edge of the screen.
Listening to the rhythm of footsteps, it seems that they are going downstairs.
It's even more creepy now - just now, they were sitting here talking about ghost stories, but they didn't know that there was an inaudible footsteps sounding in this empty floor, and then there was something they didn't see. Slowly walked down the stairs and stood there watching them for a while...
This association is almost instinctive, with pictures and sounds appearing in their minds.
Ever since I realized something was wrong, the atmosphere had become terrifyingly silent. At this moment, the squeezing fear finally broke through the brain's rational suppression and completely transformed into a high decibel level——
"Ah ah--!!"
…………
"Eh……"
Outside the unfinished buildings, Gu Mo, who had walked a long distance, turned around and looked at the buildings behind him in surprise, which were like pigeon cages with only empty frames. Did he hear something just now? The loud screaming voice?
Did something really happen? Or was the ghost story told so touching that a group of young people were frightened?
After squinting his eyes and looking at the real estate behind him for a while, he felt that it should be the latter. He shook his head helplessly, shrugged and continued walking back along the road. It is still quite a distance from here to my residence, and it is also relatively remote, so it is difficult to get a car.
Gu Mo didn't want to leave any obvious traces, so he decided to go back at night.
Speaking of which, he was indeed going to move. He had been thinking about this before. However, although the funds on hand had suddenly increased a lot, he was still not able to afford a house, so he decided to do it for the time being. Shelved.
And after this dungeon, before he knew it, his funds had exceeded seven figures... Sure enough, "game currency" is the least valuable thing, especially when killing monsters, it will be lost. The faster and more you swipe, the more money you will accumulate.
It just so happens that it can be withdrawn and used... which is quite interesting.
It didn't take long for Gu Mo to return to his residence. At the gate of the community, he saw that the security guard at the gate had been replaced by Uncle Zhang. They chatted for a while and heard that Old Man Ding was too old to do this job. Yes, I quit this job a few days ago.
That’s fine, you’re already so old, it’s great to just stay at home and enjoy the blessings…
Gu Mo didn't dwell on anything and just dealt with it casually. The main reason was that although Uncle Zhang was a rare person in this community who didn't like to talk too much, he was also a little curious about why he hadn't seen anyone for so long. It seemed like the first time in half a month. Seeing his appearance for the first time, I couldn't help but ask about what kind of night shift job he was looking for.
This gave Gu Mo a sense of crisis and made him more determined to move out as soon as possible. He really couldn't stay in this community anymore.
After returning home, he checked whether the enchantment charms and other things he set before going out were triggered. After confirming that there was no problem, Gu Mo felt relieved and stood in front of the mirror in his bedroom again.
Opening the store page that can only be used in the real world with ease, he checked the daily refresh information. After all, he now holds the largest sum of money since entering the trap, three golden keys, and naturally feels rich. .
The first is the sign-in reward. Today, as always, 2,000 game coins were given. For Gu Mo now, this sign-in reward is no different from "Thank you for your patronage".
However, he didn't expect this, but decisively checked the refresh of daily specials.
There are still three brand-new items displayed in sequence. The first one is a huge sword that looks very big and heavy. The sword body has a faint red light in the deep black. The words displayed below are "Dark Iron Heavy." "Sword", the price is one million in the system's common currency, and you don't even need to use a key to purchase it.
——Could it be the one used by Dugu Qiufei?
Gu Mo was thoughtful and pondered a little, but finally passed it. If Dugu Qiufei's "Dugu Nine Swords" was here, he would make up his mind to buy it, but if he only had this dark iron heavy sword... it wouldn't have much effect on him.
If the amount needed was less, he wouldn't mind buying it for collection or as a spare material, but it would be unrealistic to directly price it at one million and take away all his current net worth at once. This Xuan Tie It was not a particularly magical and good material, so he naturally chose to give up rationally.
The second product is a sparkling skill badge——
"Sword Controlling (Shushan Immortal Sword Sect)".
The selling price is a silver key.
Gu Mo's eyes suddenly lit up, and the image of a swordsman with fluttering white clothes and an unworldly appearance was instantly sketched in his mind. That face was his own... Strength is a matter of one version, handsomeness is a matter of a lifetime, and Isn’t the Sword Immortal both handsome and strong? !
But he didn't rush to make a choice. He looked at the third product next to him.
It was a small piece of crystal fragment, the whole body showed a clear and light pink color, but also vaguely bloomed with a blue and purple light, which seemed to contain strong spiritual power.
——"The Jade Fragments of the Four Souls".
——The selling price is a bronze key.
