As soon as Gu Shengyin spoke, everyoneâs choices became clear.
Except for Qin Chingching, everyone expressed that since it was hard to come by, how could they leave with nothing to show for it?
Gu Shengyin looked at Qin Chingching, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Chingching, why donât you head out on your own and wait for us outside?"
Qin Chingching glanced at the eerie surroundings, almost holding back tears as she shook her head: "No, Iâd better stick with you guys."
At least by following the others, she had someone to rely on.
But if she were alone outside, who knows what might happen?
Qin Chingching understood this very clearly.
So that decision was settled.
Looking around the environment, Gu Shengyin said, "Now that itâs dark, letâs not rush to explore. Letâs find a place to rest for the night, and when it gets light tomorrow, we can take our time to look around, what do you all think?"
Though she said this, deep down she was more aware than anyone.
Once daylight comes, the tranquility here will no longer exist.
The real Asura Purgatory will officially begin.
The others looked at the eerie environment, and having been on the road for most of the day and walked for so long, they all nodded.
Gu Shengyin looked around and found a relatively spacious and clean spot near the wall, then sat down.
Everyone lit their flashlights and took out some food from their bags.
Gu Shengyin sternly warned them: "In this place, always stay vigilant, especially with your food bags, make sure to keep a close eye on them, no slip-ups!"
The group nodded.
After finishing their food.
Gu Shengyin instructed the six people to pair up into groups of two to take turns keeping watch.
"We donât know whatâs in this castle, itâs better to have someone looking out at night. Iâll watch first, you all go rest," Gu Shengyin said as she took out the dagger from her waist.
Zhang Chao volunteered, "How about I keep watch with you?"
The office worker looked around and said, "Then after three hours, you wake Juanjuan and me up, weâll take the second watch together."
Qing Ge and Qin Chingching will take the third watch.
Everyone nodded.
Gu Shengyin and Zhang Chao sat back to back, while the others closed their eyes and started to sleep.
Time slowly passed.
Gu Shengyin could hear the long breaths of the sleeping people behind her.
Apparently, after a day of fatigue and tension, they had all fallen asleep.
She kept her eyes open, not the slightest bit sleepy, fearing something might suddenly jump out at her.
Indeed, what she feared came true.
Gu Shengyinâs gaze swept the area, and she saw, at the corner opposite, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy suddenly appeared.
The boy looked very delicate and cute, but his complexion was an abnormal blue-white, casting a faint, grim light in the darkness.
He stood upright, his eyes shining with a ghostly green light, staring this way.
He wore a very tattered outfit, different in style from now, resembling those Western noble outfits of ancient times.
Gu Shengyin looked at the little ghost, maintaining a composed expression.
Zhang Chao seemed to sense something.
He shivered, rubbed his hands, and said to Gu Shengyin, "Leng Shi, do you also feel that itâs especially cold?"
Gu Shengyin thought to herself, a ghost is staring unblinkingly at you, of course, youâd feel a chill.
Outwardly, she could only comfort Zhang Chao: "Maybe itâs because of the big temperature difference at night."
Zhang Chao nodded, after a while, he leaned over again, saying in a low voice:
"Leng Shi, I still feel thereâs something eerie about this place."
Gu Shengyin, however, couldnât spare the attention to respond to him, as she saw, that little ghost was floating over towards them.
