The female white-collar worker’s words hit Gu Shengyin’s heart deeply.
She really wanted to nod imdiately, say yes, let’s not go inside, let’s camp outside for a night and go back tomorrow!
But she couldn’t say it.
Then, she listened indifferently to Qin Chingching mocking the female white-collar worker: "Co on, don’t forget why we’re here? We’ve reached the destination, and you’re thinking of backing out?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed forward.
"Creak... creak..." A piercing sound of the iron door slowly opening reached everyone’s ears.
Gu Shengyin’s expression beca even calr, calm to the point of indifference.
Qin Chingching was still muttering: "How co my strength has grown so much?"
Gu Shengyin closed her eyes, it’s not that your strength is great, but the things inside are inviting us in.
At this point, there’s no use in escaping.
She silently took out the dagger she had been carrying in her pocket, held it in her hand, and spoke calmly: "Everyone, hold onto your self-defense items; this place has been uninhabited for years, there might be sothing unfriendly. Two people turn on the flashlights, keep the rest for later use."
As she spoke, she turned on a flashlight with one hand, Zhang Chao saw this and turned on a flashlight as well. Gu Shengyin noticed that he took out a foldable Swiss army knife from his backpack.
Gu Shengyin praised: "Nice knife, you actually got it through security?"
Zhang Chao smiled smugly: "Impressive, right?"
Thus, six people moved towards the castle using the illumination of the flashlights.
Entering through the main door should lead to the reception hall.
Everyone slowly scanned with their torches, revealing items covered in dust and cobwebs.
A huge rectangular dining table carved from jade-white marble, long enough to accommodate at least twenty people.
Lifelike statues in the drawing room, frescoes on the ceiling, etc...
These items, perhaps several hundred years ago, were very beautiful, noble, and grand.
But under the long erosion of ti, they now appear to these adventurers as spine-chilling.
Gu Shengyin recalled the plot.
This was their first night at the castle.
This night wouldn’t have any substantial danger, just various pranks.
She knew those pranks were just residents of the castle expressing their disapproval of them.
And this night was the only chance the six of them had to leave the castle.
But they didn’t seize it.
"Ah!" The female white-collar suddenly scread.
Everyone’s heart leapt.
Gu Shengyin shouted at her calmly: "Calm down! What happened?"
The female white-collar buried her head in her boyfriend’s arms, then tremblingly pointed at a place: "Soone’s there!"
Everyone’s hearts tightened!
The air seed to suddenly freeze.
This is a castle abandoned for countless years, besides them, who else could be here?
After a few seconds of deathly silence, Gu Shengyin moved her hand, and the flashlight accurately shone on the spot the female white-collar had ntioned.
Zhang Chao suppressed the scream that nearly escaped his lips, sighed in relief, and forced a smile: "It’s alright, it’s just a statue."
Only then did everyone take a closer look.
Sure enough, it was just an exquisite statue, a woman with a graceful and beautiful deanor wearing a cream-colored waist-tight dress, standing there with her head bowed.
