Ignore the bloody details about how people died.
Gu Shengyin finally saw the mont when only Qin Chingching was left.
Ghosts were chasing her, and in a panic, she pushed a ghost blocking her way and dashed upstairs.
In the back, Qin Chingching went mad.
No more detailed descriptions after that.
But Gu Shengyin suddenly grasped a critical detail—the upstairs.
Could it be that Qin Chingching’s key to survival was upstairs?
Gu Shengyin’s heart started to pound.
This ti, it wasn’t from fear but excitent.
She suddenly turned her head and said to soone with their head drooped: "I have a guess."
Everyone looked at her blankly.
Seeing their state, Gu Shengyin sighed, "Co on, cheer up! We haven’t reached the end of the road yet. Think about it, we’re sitting in a castle, eating, and watching the best horror movie in the world. What’s there to be unsatisfied about?"
Even under such circumstances, Gu Shengyin’s cold joke made them chuckle.
Zhang Chao was the first to laugh: "Leng Shi is right, we haven’t reached the end of the road yet. What are we afraid of?"
Gu Shengyin liked people who were so quick to catch on.
Zhang Chao then asked her: "What’s your guess?"
Gu Shengyin didn’t want to tell them that upstairs could be the hope for survival, after all, it was just a guess. If she was wrong, having had hope and then despair would make it worse, wouldn’t it?
She just said softly: "Sitting here isn’t a solution. I want to check upstairs, see if we’ll find anything."
As she said this, everyone looked towards the spot where the statue of the Female Ghost stood—the location of the statue was right at the stairway entrance.
This ant that to get to the second floor, they must pass the Female Ghost statue.
And moreover...
Everyone glanced at the staircase; the castle was so big, the stairs were wide and long.
At least from their angle, they could only see the seemingly gold-encrusted steps extending upwards and disappearing into unseen darkness.
It unreasonably invoked fear.
Qin Chingching was the first to beco timid: "Who knows if there’s sothing even scarier on the second floor..."
Gu Shengyin calmly interrupted her: "Then tell , what’s the difference between encountering one ghost and encountering a group? Do you think, apart from ghosts, what else could we encounter going upstairs?"
She then looked at the others.
Zhang Chao was the first to express his willingness to go up: "Sitting here is a waste of ti; we might as well take the chance."
A few n expressed willingness to try, Xue Juan was sowhat afraid but nodded.
Actually, everyone knew that in their current situation, the stupidest thing to do would be to sit still.
But sitting there, they knew there wouldn’t be any danger, whereas upstairs, no one could predict what would happen.
"Opportunity always cos with risk." Gu Shengyin said just this one sentence.
After thinking it over, Qin Chingching finally stood up.
Gu Shengyin asked everyone to carry their bags well; this was sothing that absolutely could not go wrong.
She seriously reminded them, "I don’t know if those ghosts will try to stop us from going upstairs. All you need to rember is to stay close together tightly like this; the ghosts won’t be able to get near us. No matter what happens, don’t be afraid, they can’t harm us."
