The candle lights in the main hall flickered, adding to the dismal atmosphere.

In the side hall next door, several human figures were standing in a circle with their heads lowered, and their faces were obscured in the darkness save for the visible glints in their eyes. OPYaMU

Looming voices sounded one after another.

“Speak.”

“What exactly is going on.”

“Hurry up and explain clearly.” 3lIPYs

The player surrounded Uncle He: ……

Why did it feel like their roles had been switched?

Besuited Uncle said: “How did the ghost bride come about?”

Holding onto the idea of saying ‘I don’t know’ to every question he was asked, Uncle He kept his mouth shut no matter what he was asked and did not utter a single word. dXKjz

Seeing as to how the sky was about to darken, the players could not stop the anxiety from rising in their chests.

Perhaps they had been influenced by Shen Dongqing, because the players’ courage had become significantly larger, and Hipster clenched his fist to threaten: “I do respect old people more, but if you don’t speak, don’t blame me for being tactless when I act against you.”

Uncle He had seen hundreds of university students who had arrived at Four Water Village to sightsee and collect cultural materials, but this was the first time he had seen such violent ones and his cold sweat started dripping immediately.

“I really don’t know,” Uncle He said upon realising that there was no trick he could pull. He confessed, “This is a custom the Four Water Village has been passing down for a long time and we make an offering to the ghost bride every year.” mgJXPe

The thing being offered was naturally live humans.

“If we don’t give our offering, some terrifying things will happen.”

He did not know what curse the forefathers of Four Water Village had incurred but they had to use live humans every year as the sacrificial offering. Gradually, Four Water Village became cold and desolate and only a dozen household families remained now.

Just as the indigenous people of Four Water Village were about to become extinct, however, a group of outsiders would arrive at the village intermittently without any rhyme or reason, and these outsiders would attract the ghost bride’s favour. s UXmx

Thus, they allowed the other people to die; it was enough that they could survive.

Such a profitable transaction; who would be unwilling to do it?

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Uncle He’s voice gradually tapered off, “I only know these……”

Hipster did not really believe him and wanted to threaten him again, but no matter how much Uncle He said later, it was roughly the same bits and pieces of information. jdO1Nk

The other players could only give up.

JK Belle was anxious. “The ghost bride is going to regain consciousness soon.”

Shen Dongqing let out a cold snort and said: “Just what I was waiting for.”

She actually dared to have ideas about his man, she must dislike being a ghost. hNJcz2

JK Belle gave the murderous-looking Shen Dongqing a short glance before she thought, Perhaps I should be worrying about the ghost bride instead.
