Chapter 1763: Miserable Adventurers vs. Over-the-Top Supporting Actress (Part 2)

Why mention Qin Chingching? Because at the start of the plot, when everyone just entered the ancient castle.

The ancient castle had an owner.

The owner of the castle did not welcome the outsiders at all.

This group of adventurers was warned right from the beginning.

At that time, the white-collar couple was frightened, and their tone had hints of retreat.

But Qin Chingching dissuaded them, saying that thrill is the essence of adventure, making it interesting.

The white-collar couple felt it would be shameful to be less brave than a young girl, so they gritted their teeth and continued.

From the moment they entered the castle, the six people began to experience various mysterious events.

For instance, although the castle hadn’t been entered for years, it was spotless inside.

For instance, six sets of utensils were neatly arranged in the dining room, and when the covered bowls were opened, they contained bloody hands.

Even the horror novel enthusiasts wanted to give up at that point.

But it was Qin Chingching again who stopped them.

She was also scared, but felt more excited inside.

She comforted everyone, suggesting that someone probably knew they were coming for an adventure and staged a prank; those hands must be fake props...

No one dared to verify the authenticity of those hands, and under such circumstances, Qin Chingching’s seemingly calm demeanor successfully mislead a bunch of people.

Towards the afternoon, when dusk was approaching, everyone heard the sound of people moving on the roof, and Leng Shi finally decided to leave — they had checked earlier and confirmed no one was there!

And the only way to upstairs was through the hall where everyone was gathered!

However, when Leng Shi wanted to exit, the ancient castle’s dilapidated main door slowly closed in front of everyone.

The whole world plunged into darkness.

An evil voice echoed in their ears: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the castle’s carnival."

...

What followed was a bloody experience.

Gu Shengyin calmly read through, and calmly spoke to the system: "Can I ask the driver to stop now?"

The system flashed with white light and replied: "Host, unless you actively request to leave this world, abandoning the mission, otherwise, no matter what excuse you find, you six will follow the plot development and enter the Ghost Castle."

Gu Shengyin: "..."

As a competent task-taker, actively abandoning a mission is definitely not her style!

Isn’t it just a Ghost Castle?

Gu Shengyin took a deep breath and said: "Okay, then I’ll continue."

The system spoke again: "Due to the special nature of this plot, there are slight changes in the host’s mission."

Gu Shengyin’s eyes lit up.

The system said: "The Ghost Castle opens a safe exit once every ten days, and the host’s mission is to survive within these ten days."

Gu Shengyin swallowed hard: "After all, I’m human, whereas they are ghosts... and am I not supposed to care about the others?"

The system replied: "If the host can save one more person, she will enjoy more world rewards after the task ends."

Gu Shengyin instantly understood.

It meant, while not mandatory, it hoped she could preserve her companions’ lives as much as possible.

Perhaps noticing Gu Shengyin’s hesitation, the system said: "Given the unique target of this mission, besides allowing the host to draw one skill, the system will gift the host three one-time packages to assist in completing the mission."
