Chapter 1777: Unlucky Adventurer vs. World-Wrecking Supporting Female (Part 16)

Gu Shengyin turned her head, looking at the little ghost standing somewhat idly beside the two of them.

She saw a faint handprint on Zhang Chao’s shoulder.

It was obviously not her own.

She tried to calmly reassure Zhang Chao, "Don’t scare yourself, there’s nothing there."

Zhang Chao didn’t think that the push he felt earlier was a hallucination.

But seeing Leng Shi, a woman, being so calm, he felt that his reaction was a bit embarrassing and suppressed that trace of fear, quietly waiting for time to pass.

After staying there for a while, the little ghost left.

However, this was not the end of the matter.

In the dark and fearful atmosphere, time always seemed to drag on.

Zhang Chao almost constantly checked his wristwatch every few minutes, only to despairingly find each time that only a few minutes had passed since the last time he checked.

While Gu Shengyin was watching every corner of the hall, she suddenly noticed that Zhang Chao’s breathing became heavy.

Something’s wrong!

Gu Shengyin turned around quickly and asked, "Zhang Chao, what’s wrong?"

This time, Zhang Chao’s voice was actually trembling.

He pointed at the empty floor in front of them, his whole body shaking along with his voice, "...Blood... it’s all over the floor, rushing towards us..."

Gu Shengyin looked closely, but saw nothing on the ground.

However, she looked up and indeed noticed in the ceiling mural, a woman with a pointed hat smiling at their group.

But that smile was indescribably eerie, making her hair stand on end.

Gu Shengyin!!!!

This group of ghosts really wouldn’t let anyone live in peace!

Zhang Chao could no longer help but back away a few steps, seemingly trying to evade something.

He happened to trip over Qing Ge who was sleeping behind him.

Qing Ge woke up drowsily, cursing a little impatiently.

Then he seemed to realize where he was.

He quickly opened his eyes and grabbed the self-defense weapon he kept by his side while sleeping.

He then pulled Zhang Chao closer, asking, "What’s wrong, what happened?"

Zhang Chao was a bit more alert after being pulled by him.

He pointed to the ground, "So much blood!"

Qing Ge was startled.

He looked towards the place Zhang Chao pointed, shining a flashlight there, only to find it completely empty, no blood in sight.

Zhang Chao also took another look.

The blood was really gone.

Qing Ge, guessing his companion might be mentally strained, didn’t scold him but merely said, "You’re probably too tense, causing your body to hallucinate. There’s nothing there, don’t be scared."

He checked the time and volunteered to switch with Zhang Chao, suggesting Zhang Chao take a rest for a while.

Given Zhang Chao’s current state, he was hardly fit to continue standing watch.

Zhang Chao did not refuse.

Once Zhang Chao lay down, it became Gu Shengyin and Qing Ge sitting together.

Qing Ge suddenly said, "I’m quite curious; Leng Shi, ever since we entered the Ghost Castle, I’ve never seen you afraid."

Gu Shengyin thought, that’s because I’m scared in my heart but just can’t show it on the surface!

But she couldn’t say that aloud.

In a situation like this, she absolutely couldn’t say anything that would undermine the team’s morale.

So Gu Shengyin calmly said, "Afraid? At any time, fear is the most useless thing!"

Qing Ge gave Gu Shengyin a peculiar look, seemingly not expecting a woman to say such a thing.
