Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: The Hapless Adventurer vs. The Reckless Supporting Actress (Part 7)
But it’s not entirely without benefits.
At least now, no one has any objections to Gu Shengyin’s proposal.
Even Qin Chingching has stuffed her bag full of food.
As they were leaving, Gu Shengyin asked, "Do you have flashlights and weapons that can somewhat defend you?"
Although she was asking, she mainly looked at Qin Chingching and that white-collar worker.
Both of them froze for a moment.
Gu Shengyin knew that obviously, these two hadn’t brought anything.
Gu Shengyin sighed, "I’ll say it again, we’re really not playing games here. Aren’t you considering going back?"
In the end, the two bought two portable flashlights and casually found two iron rods from the farmhouse as defense.
Before the car started again, Gu Shengyin asked once more if anyone was willing to withdraw, as it would be dangerous ahead.
Everyone refused the proposal.
Gu Shengyin completely gave up.
Sure enough, the world won’t allow the plot to deviate from the track.
She could only say, "Everyone should rest well." When the time comes, it won’t be so comfortable.
The car quietly drove towards an increasingly desolate place.
Gu Shengyin fell asleep, letting the system alert her if there was any situation.
She understood herself, once she reached a place like Ghost Castle, forget sleeping; in such a tense situation, she might not even dare to close her eyes.
Everyone was awakened by the driver.
The driver stopped the car and said, "From here, walk straight forward. Purely on foot, it takes about an hour to reach your destination."
No one else spoke, Qin Chingching started to complain, "An hour? Won’t I be exhausted to death? Uncle driver, why don’t you drop us a little further?"
The driver withdrew his smile, "I made it clear beforehand, I won’t drive you into Ghost Castle, that’s an ominous place!"
Qin Chingching opened her mouth to say something, but Gu Shengyin stepped forward and cut in, "Alright, the young girl is just brash; older brother, please bear with her."
Seeing Gu Shengyin, the driver’s face softened a bit.
He sighed, "Miss, I know, no matter what I say, you won’t listen. I wish you all good luck."
But Gu Shengyin suddenly called out to the driver.
"Brother, may I ask you for one more favor?"
The driver asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Gu Shengyin said, "Starting from tomorrow, could you come to this place and pick us up after ten days?"
The driver hesitated for a moment; truthfully, he really didn’t want to come to such a sinister place.
Gu Shengyin showed a pleading expression and added, "If you do come, I’ll pay you double the price."
The driver was somewhat tempted.
He said, "When should I come? When will you be out?"
Gu Shengyin hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ten days later, the earlier you come, the better."
After thinking for a bit, she added another sentence, "If you wait here until five in the afternoon and still haven’t seen us, then drive away quickly. Don’t linger in such places at night."
Hearing such ominous words, the driver couldn’t help shivering.
The others also changed their expressions.
The driver quickly said, "Alright then, ten days later, I’ll be here waiting for you."
Gu Shengyin nodded.
Watching the white minibus kick up a cloud of yellow dust as it left, Gu Shengyin turned to look at the unknown distance.
"Let’s go," she said slowly.
Behind her, the others followed as they embarked on this journey.
