The others remained silent.
To be honest, the question Qin Chingching asked was exactly the one that everyone was thinking about now.
Including Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin let the system confirm that the Ghosts and Goblins wouldnât be in the mood to eavesdrop on them before slowly speaking:
"Iâll share some information that I know."
As soon as she spoke, the others looked at her with hope.
Gu Shengyin said: "This Ghost Castle is now in a completely sealed state, meaning you shouldnât even think about running to the main entrance and getting out. The place is locked by a Barrier; you canât leave."
She ignored the desperate looks of the others and continued: "However, itâs not entirely hopeless. Every ten days, the door of life and death alternates, giving us a chance to get out."
She raised her head, sweeping her gaze over the five people, and said word by word: "So long as we last ten days, we have a chance to survive!"
With her words, everyoneâs eyes brightened.
But Qing Ge just looked at Gu Shengyin curiously: "You donât seem very happy?"
Gu Shengyin said: "Because Iâve only told you the good news, not the bad news."
As soon as she said this, she felt all eyes on her face.
Gu Shengyin smiled helplessly: "The worst news is..."
She raised her left hand, showing the triangular talisman: "This talismanâs effectiveness lasts for twenty-four hours, and I only have five."
Everyoneâs face changed.
This means they can only live safely for five days.
And the remaining five days, theyâll have to face the Ghosts of the entire castle!
Recalling the Ghosts that surrounded them earlier, Qin Chingching couldnât help but shiver: "Itâs impossible for us to last that long..."
Despair was evident on the faces of the others as well.
Qin Chingching began to sob: "I regret it... I regret it. I shouldnât have ignored my mom and taken money to come here alone. Now she canât contact or find me; sheâll be worried sick... sob..."
Gu Shengyin glanced at the Ghosts drawn by Qin Chingchingâs sobbing and frowned, scolding her: "Qin Chingching, shut up!"
Among the six of them, she could already be considered a pillar, so this reprimand made Qin Chingching truly stop talking.
Gu Shengyin said softly: "Cry now for what? When I told you so many times on the way to turn back, not to come here, who listened?"
As she said this, the others thought about it carefully and realized that it was true: all along, Leng Shi indeed mentioned several times not to come to the Ghost Castle.
Gu Shengyin said calmly: "What we need to do now is to figure out how to get more time. Until the last moment, no one should say theyâre giving up."
At this moment, Qing Ge suddenly looked at Gu Shengyin: "I remember you reminding us multiple times on the way, hinting for us to go back. Why? Did you know that weâd encounter such things this time?"
His gaze was fixed on Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin thought, true to a horror novel, their imagination is indeed a bit bigger than ordinary people.
