Chapter 347 Testing

"Doctor Gu...your face!"

As Feng Xiuxue cried out in fear, Gu Pingsheng discovered that a piece of skin on his face had fallen off...

At the same time, intense pain also occurs along with the falling of skin.

Gu Pingsheng clenched his teeth, trying hard not to make any sound of pain.

He immediately tore off a piece of gauze, and like magic, he took out medical tape and wrapped the part of his face where the skin had fallen off.

When the gauze touched the flesh, Gu Pingsheng suddenly broke out in big drops of sweat.

Veins popped out on his neck and his whole body was shaking.

"Take some painkillers." Feng Xiuxue had unknowingly moved away.

Although she knew that she had also fallen into the trap of the evil spirit, it was now obvious that Gu Pingsheng had also been tricked.

Who will become a ghost first...it's still uncertain.

If Gu Pingsheng suddenly turned into a ghost, she would be dead.

"No more." Gu Pingsheng responded.

He simply treated his wound, his expression was solemn and his face was pale.

Feng Xiuxue stared at him closely, and her eyes seemed to flicker when she heard Gu Pingsheng say that the painkillers were gone.

There is something wrong with this Gu Pingsheng.

The reason why she asked Gu Pingsheng to use "painkillers" was not because she cared about him, but because she suspected... there was something wrong with the "painkillers".

Feng Xiuxue did not forget why she came to this street with Gu Pingsheng. She had clearly suggested that they go their separate ways at that time.

But after Gu Pingsheng said something, she was still groggy and strangely agreed to him.

Feng Xiuxue was somewhat doubtful whether the medicine Gu Pingsheng gave her was a painkiller.

Although it does have a pain-relieving effect now, but... he doesn't eat it himself.

He said it’s gone?

Although it was understandable that he only carried two painkillers on him, Feng Xiuxue became suspicious and it seemed fishy no matter how he looked at it.

Gu Pingsheng seemed unaware that Feng Xiuxue had become suspicious.

He seemed to have gotten used to the intense pain of the skin peeling off his face. He looked at the evil spirit that was almost in the middle of the street with a serious expression and said, "We can't follow it any further. If we go one more street, the curse will immediately become more severe."

"What do you mean?"

Because a large part of her attention was focused on Gu Pingsheng's suspiciousness, Feng Xiuxue didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

Gu Pingsheng looked down at her knees and said, "Your wound appeared on Xifan Street and worsened when you entered Nanmen Street. My wound appeared when I entered Dongya Street. If nothing unexpected happens, it will worsen when I enter Tsing Yi Street."

Feng Xiuxue listened to Gu Pingsheng's inference, thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed true.

"But doesn't this mean that we are fixed to Beitu Street and Xifan Street? If this ghost kills people on other streets, we won't be able to perform the action of 'witnessing'. Doesn't that violate the mission requirements?" Feng Xiuxue frowned.

"No..." Gu Pingsheng suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, where there was nothing. "It won't kill people."

"The real murderer is still hiding in the dark."

Feng Xiuxue wasn't stupid, but her thoughts had never been in this direction. In addition, the painkillers that Gu Pingsheng gave her were too suspicious, which distracted most of her attention.

After Gu Pingsheng said this, she immediately figured out those inexplicable doubts.

Why does this ghost look so evil but doesn't show any strange abilities?
Why was it that the sound of its footsteps was not loud, but could be accurately heard by them? Why did it just watch and not take any action after it had discovered the hiding person?
The reason is...it's not a real ghost at all!
Whether it is a person or an illusion, it is just a bait released by the evil spirit!
"The real murderous ghost can't find us. Maybe it has no senses at all, so it let us show up on our own initiative," Feng Xiuxue's face looked ugly. "We have been fooled. Now we have been seen by the ghost hiding in the dark. The word 'witness' is two-way, valid for it as well as for us."

"Well, the ghost could only curse and kill us if it saw us with its own eyes." Gu Pingsheng's expression was also very ugly just now, but compared to Feng Xiuxue, he calmed down faster at this moment.

"But we haven't lost yet. Its curse doesn't mean instant death. We still have a chance."

Gu Pingsheng's eyes were calm. The sweat on his forehead had been wiped clean by him, and he had regained his gentle and elegant appearance.

"But, if what you inferred is true, the curse on my body gets stronger every time I enter a street, how should I investigate it?" Feng Xiuxue said unwillingly.

"We can check," Gu Pingsheng looked at her and said, "At least... we can check the streets we have walked on."

"Let's go."

Gu Pingsheng said.

Since I can't follow it anymore, I'll try to think of a new idea. What if... I find the ghost hiding in the dark?
Feng Xiuxue didn't respond to him immediately. She looked at the slowly moving evil spirit and said, "Aren't you interested in where Yu Wenxuan is hiding?"

Gu Pingsheng's eyes focused and he saw the cell phone in Feng Xiuxue's hand.

"You want to give away his location by calling?"

Gu Pingsheng's tone was unusually stiff.

"No way?" Feng Xiuxue looked at him directly, "Doctor Gu, Yu Wenxuan can die, Bai Yanliang can die, Yu Sheng can die, but you and I cannot die."

Feng Xiuxue's smile was extremely ironic: "We are going to Guishou Mountain to unravel all the secrets of Wu Ji, to find out the origins of the ghosts, and... the source of the ghosts' power."

"Only you and I know about Dr. Zhou's research back then, and they know nothing..."

Feng Xiuxue gradually approached Gu Pingsheng, "Doctor Gu, I misjudged you. I thought... you were a person without 'value'. Please forgive my impoliteness. Can you give me a chance to get to know more about you?"

Only Xu Zhifei can rival her in terms of grace and elegance.

But that was just appearance. Xu Zhifei's personality and temperament were completely different from the ever-changing Feng Xiuxue.

It is difficult for a man to say no to her.

This method that was always successful only failed on one person... Bai Yanliang.

At this moment, Feng Xiuxue didn't want Gu Pingsheng to stop her from calling Yu Wenxuan, but... to pull him into her "camp" and serve her.

As for whether to stop her from making the call, it was just a clue to see his attitude and... just a token of his allegiance.

However, something Feng Xiuxue did not expect happened.

Gu Pingsheng still stood there, his eyes did not change at all, he just looked down at him condescendingly.

Feng Xiuxue stared into his eyes and suddenly felt... like being caught in a whirlpool, her head was dizzy.

"Come with me."

Gu Pingsheng's voice appeared directly in her mind.

"Yes……"

Feng Xiuxue replied dully.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, then turned around and left Dongya Street.

By the time Feng Xiuxue came to his senses, he was already covered in cold sweat.

She stared at Gu Pingsheng's back with great fear as he walked in front of her. For the first time, she felt a kind of... fear towards this low-key man.
