The female white-collar worker showed a trace of fear on her face.
But the novelist Qing Ge smiled and said, "Isnât this just your psychological reaction? Or perhaps itâs just a visual illusion. If you donât believe me, take a closer look over there, where is the blackness?"
A few people followed his words and looked over again, indeed, the sky above was no different from other places.
Everyone laughed and teased that it was just their imagination.
Only Gu Shengyin did not laugh.
Because what she saw was completely different from everyone else.
Qin Chingching spoke of a hint of black-gray above the castle, but in Gu Shengyinâs eyes, it was not like that at all.
To Gu Shengyin, the castle in front of her, the entire building was completely shrouded in wisps of black mist, clearly not a place any normal person should go.
Gu Shengyinâs expression became even calmer.
"System, if I turn around and walk back now, is it still possible?"
System: "...Host, you can try."
Gu Shengyin turned around and left without a word.
However, after just two steps, she expressionlessly turned back.
The others looked at her strangely.
Zhang Chao asked, "Leng Shi, whatâs wrong?"
Gu Shengyin replied calmly, "Itâs nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I seemed to have forgotten something."
This excuse was utterly unconvincing.
Qin Chingching scoffed and said, "Our Beauty Leng isnât scared, is she?"
Gu Shengyin had no desire to respond to her.
She wanted to say, if you saw what I see, youâd not only be scared, youâd probably cry!
She gritted her teeth inwardly at the so-called world plot.
When she attempted to walk back, she clearly felt a heavy resistance.
With each step forward, the resistance on her grew stronger.
She had no choice but to retreat.
The system was right, unless she abandoned the mission, she had no choice at all.
Gu Shengyin sighed almost imperceptibly and looked at the castle shrouded in black mist before her, saying faintly, "Letâs hurry up and go, it will be dark soon."
A cold wind blew by, coupled with Gu Shengyinâs indifferent tone, making everyone involuntarily shiver.
The six people almost instinctively moved closer together, and the female white-collar worker couldnât help but grab her boyfriendâs sleeve.
They continued to move forward.
With only about five to six minutes of walking, the group arrived at the castleâs entrance.
It was then that the last glimmer of twilight disappeared beneath the horizon, and the night began to cover the sky.
The whole land was about to be plunged into deep darkness.
Gu Shengyinâs steps halted several times.
She truly wanted to stop.
Because at the moment the sky darkened, while others couldnât see it, she clearly saw the pitch-black castle in the night, with pairs of blood-red eyes lighting up.
Those cold, blood-red pupils were looking at them, these outsiders, with a sticky, bloodthirsty gaze, making Gu Shengyinâs expression even colder.
To hell with an unflinching face and steady mountain!
Gu Shengyin couldnât help but curse inwardly.
They had already reached the entrance.
At this point, everyone seemed to sense an indescribable fear.
The female white-collar worker, being a girl, spoke with a trembling voice, "I... Iâm a bit scared. How about we donât go in, but stay here and go back in the daylight tomorrow?"
