Chapter 1762: The Unfortunate Adventurers vs. The World-Troubling Female Side Character (Part 1)

As a Puppet Master, Di Yin’s lifespan was much longer than Chen Biyue’s.

After Chen Biyue passed away, Gu Shengyin buried him properly in a place with stunning scenery, then set up an identical tomb for herself right beside his, and lay down inside.

The last order she gave to White Tiger and Jiu Jiu was to fill the earth back over the lid of her coffin.

As she left that world, Gu Shengyin seemed to hear the dolls’ sobbing and White Tiger’s desolate whimpering.

I’m sorry, my companions.

She closed her eyes, and her consciousness sank into sleep.

Even without me, you can live well in this world, for a very, very long time.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already inside the system space.

"Proceed to the next mission." Gu Shengyin didn’t even rest; she spoke directly.

"Alright, Host." the system replied.

When Gu Shengyin opened her eyes, she realized she was sitting on a bus.

There were five other people on the same bus as her—three men and two women.

Gu Shengyin didn’t speak; she directly received the world’s plot.

After receiving the plot, Gu Shengyin could only say that these six people’s courage was really... something else!

The six people on this bus, including Gu Shengyin at this moment, had all been strangers to one another a day ago.

They were six adventurers from different places, gathering this time to explore a so‑called Ghost Castle deep in the mountains, a place spoken of in legends.

...

Gu Shengyin griped to herself that this was completely the standard routine of a horror novel.

If she hadn’t read the plot, she could still have guessed that in that ancient castle, the six of them would probably encounter a series of bizarre supernatural events.

If the story went a bit more gore‑heavy, maybe only one or two of the six would survive.

After finishing the plot, it fully confirmed that Gu Shengyin’s complaints about the storyline were spot on!

The plot of this world really was just that kind of horror cliché.

The body Gu Shengyin currently occupied was named Leng Shi; after her parents died, they left her more than enough fortune to last a lifetime.

Her usual hobbies were martial arts, adventure, and traveling.

Leng Shi, now twenty‑five years old, had once won the provincial sanda championship and was considered the one with the highest Combat Power Value among this group.

As for the other five, one pair was a couple, both ordinary office workers and adventure enthusiasts, taking advantage of their annual leave this time to seek some thrills.

The remaining girl, Qin Chingching, who was also the mission target in this world, was a college student.

The other two men were a horror novelist and a reporter.

The reporter was carrying video equipment and such with him; according to what he said, he wanted to make a special feature on the Ghost Castle expedition after going back this time.

Unfortunately, he never made it back.

Gu Shengyin looked at these five people and sighed inwardly.

She really had no idea what they were thinking—clearly knowing that this Ghost Castle had had plenty of accidents before, yet they just had to come courting death themselves.

In the original plot, aside from the supporting female character Qin Chingching, the other five all remained in there forever.

Qin Chingching’s outcome wasn’t much better; she went insane.

Driven mad by fear, she lost her perception of the outside world; those Ghosts and Goblins could no longer affect her, and only then did she manage to keep her life.

Speaking of courting death, this Qin Chingching was actually the one who courted it most out of all of them.

Originally, when the six of them had just entered the ancient castle, they still had the chance to leave.

Some had already started to back out, but Qin Chingching used just a few words of goading, mockery, and encouragement to change all of their minds.

If she didn’t know the plot beforehand, Gu Shengyin would really have thought that Qin Chingching was a mole sent by the Ghost Castle.
