Chapter 245 Ancient Well

The entire courtyard was eerily cold, the chill emanating from the dry well in the courtyard. Gu Yunxi had observed that there was nothing there.

There was nothing ghostly about it.

"Master Gu, is there something wrong with this well? I specifically asked the local special department to investigate it before, and they even performed some rituals. There shouldn't be any problems!"

"There's really nothing wrong with this well."

But there seem to be many eyes in this emanating yin energy; these must be the eyes of resentment!

This place is indeed a bit creepy as a haunted house.

"It seems the staff of the special department you mentioned aren't that capable. They just do some random rituals, copying others by sticking a few talismans on the well, thinking they can catch evil spirits."

"And that big iron cage in the distance, don't tell me that thing is used to catch evil spirits?"

Zhang Zheng scratched his ear somewhat embarrassedly. Could he say it?

As expected, I didn't choose the wrong person this time. Master Gu is really amazing; he noticed the problem here immediately.

She can definitely solve this problem, and then she can slowly pay off her million-dollar loan through business.

Gu Yunxi glanced at the man and said, "If you won't tell me, then I guessed right. The things you prepared can't even catch the lowest level ghosts, let alone others."

Zhang Zheng clapped his hands, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Gu. The payment is negotiable. Otherwise, if the haunted house is haunted, the money you paid me will be wasted."

[The live stream is finally back to normal! Look where the master is sitting, isn't that the haunted house that the Adventure Master mentioned during his live stream a while ago? I heard that haunted house is anything but normal!]

[Haunted houses are even more realistic than NPCs, how exciting!]

[A mysterious courtyard, an ancient well shrouded in mystery. Ancient wells have always been associated with trouble; could this well be problematic? Master Gu keeps staring at it—could it be haunted?]

"Big Yellow, come quickly into Daddy's arms."

"You guys move the stones off the well."

Zhang Zheng: "Move...move aside?"

He exchanged glances with several staff members, their eyes filled with panic. What if something terrible came out when this thing was opened? What if it grabbed them and pulled them in?

"Don't worry, everything seems normal to you. I will protect you."

Gu Yunxi could have easily just waved the stone away. The stone was quite heavy, and if netizens saw that, who knows how many different opinions would arise.

She was almost fooled by appearances just now. Something was wrong inside; there were many people who had died unjustly.

"Oh well!"

It took four workers a tremendous amount of effort to finally lift that huge rock down.

The black gas rising from the well became even thicker.

The group felt the temperature drop again, and the men quickly moved to Gu Yunxi's side, feeling safer by her side.

"Master, is something about to come out?" a staff member asked, trembling.

"Want to see?"

Master, we want to see it.

The fans in the live stream were spamming the chat with comments. Having seen so much wickedness in people's hearts, they actually started to feel sorry for the kids.

The human heart is more terrifying than a ghost.

"Master, we want to see it, but we're scared!"

"What are you afraid of? You didn't do these things. The wronged should be held accountable, haven't you heard of that?"

Gu Yunxi tapped her phone.

Before netizens could react, they saw wisps of black mist appear in the frame, and within the mist, several green eyes jumped up and down, which was particularly terrifying.

It would be one thing if it were a ghost, but what is this thing? Is there something in the well that has become a spirit?

Gu Yunxi took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Zhang Ping.

"If you want to see, just apply it to your eyelids. If you're scared, stay away and don't disturb my work."

After thinking about it, the group moved back a bit. They were going to work here in the future, and it wouldn't be good if it left them with psychological trauma.

Gu Yunxi: These people aren't very bold, but they are quite sensible.

While the others were busy, Mi Gu wandered around the courtyard. This place was quite quaint and nice, though it had a rather gloomy atmosphere.

Gu Yunxi watched as the green dots slowly rose into the air, gathered together, and transformed into terrifying human faces, both male and female, mostly young people.

Suddenly, the ball of something lunged at Gu Yunxi.

[Damn, that scared the hell out of me! It's terrifying even through the camera lens. I was just thinking those guys were cowards, but now I think they were incredibly smart.]

Damn it, my brand new phone has a cracked screen.

Those ghostly faces thought they could devour this woman, but they all disappeared before they even got close.

Zhang Zheng and his companions crouched in the corner. Although they couldn't see what was in front of them, they could clearly hear a series of pitiful screams.

He shrank his neck. "This place is definitely not safe. I was trying to make it look realistic, but damn it, this isn't realistic at all, it's deadly."

"Boss, Master Gu is so amazing, she should have taken care of it. Why don't we take a look too? I've never seen a ghost in real life before, I wonder what it looks like, will it be like in TV dramas?"

Zhang Zheng glanced at the man and said, "You can look if you want, don't pull me away."

He shoved the small bottle into the man's hand, but his companions, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, applied the medicine to their eyelids.

"you"

Zhang Zheng was about to lose his temper when he unexpectedly saw black mist swirling around the courtyard, but he couldn't see anything else.

"Master Gu, has it been dealt with?"

Gu Yunxi ignored the few newbies and slowly walked towards the well. Suddenly, a sword "whooshed" into the edge of the well.

Who is it?

Lin Guanyue stood in mid-air wearing a skull mask and dressed in black.

"So you are Master Gu. I, Master Lin, will also join in the fun."

Gu Yunxi glanced at the man. Judging from his attire, he was clearly Lin Guanyue's disciple. Gu Yunxi hadn't been outside for a month, was he getting restless?

[Yunxi, this guy doesn't look like a good person at all. Go and kill him instantly.]

Bai Shuang scrolled through her phone while staying in the Phoenix Hairpin. She was gradually getting used to life here. Just as she had said, the outside world had changed too much.

"Master Lin?"

Gu Yunxi drew the sword, and to the astonishment of the others, a white light enveloped her hands, and the sword turned to ashes.

"Lin Guanyue's disciples are nothing special."

This woman, instead of finding a man to marry and have children, has repeatedly ruined her own plans. Today, she finally got a chance to try, and it turns out she has some skill.

Chen Yaoyao was right. This woman was cunning and knew how to act according to her position. Lin Guanyue looked her up and down but couldn't figure out what level of cultivation she had.

Was it deliberately hidden?

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and he turned around and disappeared.
