A crowd of evil spirits line up to confess to me

Chapter 127

At that moment, over at Gu Wuji's end, the temperature in the pitch-black corridor seemed to keep dropping. Sounds of liquid dripping onto the floor and something crawling on the ground, its fabric rubbing against the floor, could be heard from the end of the corridor.

Feeling this horrifying atmosphere, both the staff member and assistant Xiao Zhong turned pale, their hearts filled with fear of the unknown.

"How did it come to this? We have no grievances with that female ghost; she shouldn't be coming after us!" the staff member couldn't help but mutter.

"Do you know what's happening?" Gu Wuji turned his head, "Tell me everything."

The staff member initially wanted to retort, what could you do even if you knew, you're just a small-time celebrity, you couldn't possibly be capable of exorcising ghosts, could you?

But Gu Wuji appeared so calm, inexplicably making the staff member feel a bit more composed and even trusting towards him, even though the staff member found it ridiculous to rely on such a celebrity. "Actually, this is what happened. There was an accident here in the past..."

The staff member then shared that a female celebrity had committed suicide here due to unspoken rules.

"She specifically chose this place, probably wanting to make a big issue out of it. But her body was only discovered after a while, and the news was suppressed," the staff member said with cold sweat on his face. "Since then, there have been occasional rumors about this place being haunted... I never took it seriously before, but why would this female ghost bother us for no reason!"

Two people recalled a plethora of horror and ghost films, utilizing their imagination, and consequently, they scared themselves even more.

Gu Wuji remained silent, pondering, "...Could this situation really not be related to me?"

However, he indeed felt an intensely profound sense of resentment here, affecting the space to such an extent that it had become this eerie realm. This suggested the female ghost's grudge was incredibly strong.

"I think, perhaps her enemy has also come to this award ceremony," Gu Wuji speculated thoughtfully, based on his experience. "We might have just been caught in the crossfire."

"What should we do now!" Assistant Xiao Zhong asked in fear, "Can we politely ask the lady ghost to spare us?"

A staff member couldn't help but clench his teeth and said, "How could that be possible? Have you ever seen a ghost that easy to talk to? She definitely wants to kill us to accompany that rich businessman in death. We're doomed!"

As they conversed, the surrounding noise grew louder, and they could faintly hear a woman's crying, sending chills down their spines.

Even at the next moment, the shadow of the female ghost had already projected onto a wall in the distance, with blood seemingly seeping over from that side.

The staff member and Assistant Xiao Zhong kept retreating. Honestly, if it weren't for Gu Wuji's calm demeanor providing them comfort, they would have probably screamed and fled in fear. But now, they also felt their legs weaken, barely able to stand.

"Um... You make a good point," Gu Wuji suddenly said, startling them, "I think it's worth considering."

After experiencing various games, the ghost here, although terrifying, didn't seem like much to Gu Wuji; it even felt somewhat familiar to him.

Most importantly, at least there was no worry that she would be some kind of gay and develop some twisted affection for him.

"Consider what?" The staff were terrified, wondering if Gu Wuji was talking about going to plead with the female ghost. How could that be possible! How could the female ghost possibly understand what they were saying!
