Zhou Wenyan did not mention the dream last night. Instead, he said: “Let’s go out and take a look.”

Shen Dongqing nodded his head. When they walked over, they saw a group of players standing at the threshold between the main and side hall, trembling as they looked at the coffin that was not far off. Z8FLnm

JK Belle suggested: “Should we go up and check?”

Besuited Uncle said: “Anyone who dares to check can go.”

Even Leathered Man, the most fierce-looking and showy of the group, was shaking his head desperately: “You guys might not want your lives but I want mine!”

The person that was missing from the four-person group was precisely Hipster. Qe9D7W

Leathered Man said: “Have you watched horror movies before? The person dying the fastest is always the one with a strong curiosity. We’ll just pretend that we know nothing and not look at it, if we don’t think about it, we’ll be fine, alas…”

As he was making a lengthy speech, Shen Dongqing strode past his side and came to a stop at the place where the coffin was placed.

Leathered Man stiffened and muttered: “He really doesn’t want his life?”

Just as his voice landed, he saw Zhou Wenyan walking over as well. P0e7yJ

JK Belle looked left and right, only to decide to follow behind the pair in the end.

The coffin was not sealed.

Shen Dongqing glanced into it only to see a lady dressed in a classic Chinese-style wedding dress with expensive gold jewellery decorating her throat and wrists, there was a blank sheet of paper covering her face and concealing her visage. Bqs20L

The others encircled the coffin.

The Besuited Uncle pointed at the white paper and commented: “I’ve seen this in a previous copy, this is a blank sheet of paper used to obstruct the ghost’s eyes to stop the corpse from rising, make sure you don’t touch it.”

Unfortunately, no matter how early he gave the reminder, Shen Dongqing had already ripped off the blank piece of paper in a direct and efficient manner.

Below the paper was a face that had gone pale from soaking and features distorted from her scrunching, the only sign of colour was her scarlet red mouth. When her lips parted slightly, it could be perceived that she was holding sludge in her mouth. VT ep6

“AH—”

JK Belle screamed, taking a step back in fear.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The two other men were no better because they ducked for the nearest cover to hide themselves.

Shen Dongqing shook away the white paper and met the bride’s opened eyes. x65OI1

Probably because the white paper was no longer binding her, the bride’s body spasmed before she abruptly sat up, her lifeless eyes staring straight ahead.

JK Belle shouted: “Hurry up and run ah

The other players looked at each other. gI40rj

In typical copies, they would definitely do everything in their power to not provoke a NPC that looked out of the ordinary. But as of right now, they had witnessed Shen Dongqing pressing down the ghost bride with his bare hands and came back to Shen Dongqing lecturing the ghost bride about proper love and marriage values which weakened the horror atmosphere, it even changed the horror movie into a comedy.

Hence, the players became hot-headed, and they went to find Uncle He in an unexpectedly fearless and energetic manner.

Shen Dongqing even yelled at them: “Don’t scare Uncle He!”

If he could not make hotpot tonight, it would be troublesome because they would have nothing to eat. gHVDCZ

With the strength in numbers, the players managed to bring Uncle He in after a short moment’s work.

JK Belle said angrily, “He actually wanted to hurt us!”

She took out a piece of white paper and wrote on it was a row of dark red characters and what it was conveying in rough terms was the willingness to be in a yin marriage with the ghost bride. And below it, Zhou Wenyan’s name was written. Probably because Uncle He had just written it, the surface of the words were still damp.

“Will shredding it up be of any use?” JK Belle asked. GmrRte

When Uncle He heard her ask that question as he lied on the ice-cold limestone floor, he let out a sinister laugh. “It’s no use, the yin marriage has already knotted, what’s left is for the ghost bride to take him away.”

Shen Dongqing took the piece of white paper with one hand.

The condition for the ghost bride to take him away was already established and shredding it would only prove to be a pointless endeavour. He thought about it before he simply added his name to the parchment.

He wanted to see how the ghost bride was going to take away his human. C2Dz4d
