Carrying the bride into the wedding hall should be a normal
thing, but what if one bride was a 500-600 pound cow, and the other was a
sturdy man standing at 188cm tall? Both grooms did dare not approach.
The crow’s voice sounded again, urgent and restless, with a
sense of oppression. “Please carry the bride into the wedding hall.”
The two grooms stood tremblingly.
As the groom on the left took a step closer, the black cow
stared at him in his red wedding gown, seemingly greatly stimulated, perhaps
thinking of its life before. The cow hooves grinded backwards and suddenly
charged forward.
Fresh red blood splattered on the sedan chair and its black
fur.
The sharp bull horn pierced the groom’s neck.
He was lifted by the cow horn, staring at the bright yellow
sun with wide eyes, and the next moment, he was thrown more than ten meters
away.
At the same time, as Bai Xiangning took a step closer, the
scarred man suddenly erupted.
He pulled out a golden hairpin from his head, pinched the
groom’s neck, and crazily plunged it into his face.
Blood filled the wedding scene, together with heart-wrenching
screams and crazy laughter.
The surrounding ghosts seemed to be accustomed to such
things, indifferent and unmoved. Even those few ghosts who were shaking their
heads and swaying their bodies started to play eerie music.
The only four real people present were in shock and silent.
Ning Su said, “They have blood.”
“What?”
At first, they didn’t react, and only after a while did they
understand that Ning Su was talking about the groom’s blood.
Did normal ghosts have such fresh blood?
If they had blood and flesh, were they still ghost?
But they really didn’t have shadows, and Bai Xiangning was
indeed dead.
Thinking of having shadows, Zhu Shuangshuang looked to the
right and said, “Scarface has no shadow.”
The few people fell silent.
In this world, all five of them have shadows, but the scarred
man did not.
Although he was here with them, he was already dead and could
never leave the game.
Thinking like this, the groom in the distance, whose neck was
pierced by a black bull’s horn, and whose fresh blood soaked the wedding gown,
stood up intact.
The groom paused for a long time and then walked towards the
black bull in despair.
The black bull seemed even angrier when it saw him still
moving, and charged forward, piercing the groom’s neck again and slashing his
side.
His head tilted, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
For the third time, the groom stood up, crying as he took off
his red wedding gown, realizing that the color was agitating the black bull.
After taking off his gown, he crawled carefully on the
ground, finally not agitating the black bull again.
On the other side, the groom who had been stabbed and cut in
the face by the scarred man also quickly recovered.
But the scarred man was still very insane. Not only did he
randomly stab and insert the groom’s face with a gold hairpin, but he also
reached out to pull the groom’s tongue out forcibly and continued to stab it
with the hairpin.
Su Wangsheng said, “This bull seems to be the one that was
slaughtered by the butcher at the slaughterhouse.”
They all remembered that bull. That day, they went to the
slaughterhouse to find the black dog, and the butcher slaughtered the black
bull on the spot. They also remembered what the head of the bull looked like
when it was chopped off.
It vented all of its anger from having its head cut off
unexpectedly on the groom, using its horns to stab and tear at the groom’s
neck, trying to get rid of his head."
The black bull was like this, not to mention the scarred man.
Zhu Shuangshuang couldn’t stand being forced to bow and
kowtow, so one could imagine the terrifying experiences the scarred must have
endured considering his crazed and sinister expression right now.
They vented their anger on the two grooms.
The scarred man hated the groom because of the ghost
marriage.
The slaughtered animal’s resentment towards humans was taken
out on the closest person.
When it had lived long enough in this eerie world and gained
consciousness, what would happen when it learned that this person was bound to
it was unimaginable?
The groom had flesh and blood, and would heal from injuries
immediately, making it something that would make the ghosts despair.
They would experience torture repeatedly and never be able to
escape it.
This world was hell for them.
As they looked at the scene before them and recalled the
ghost marriage in the living world, the five of them felt extremely
complicated.
Ning Su, Chen Tian and Chen Qing thought of the abused male
ghost, realizing that what he said was true.
Zhu Shuangshuang said, “Isn’t Yin Daijun the ghost master?
The world’s malice towards the groom seems particularly strong.”
Su Wangsheng said, “It’s not Yin Daijun, but it’s likely
someone close to her.”
Chen Tian immediately thought of the butcher. “Could it be
the butcher? He travels between two worlds, and it was he who replaced the
ashes at the funeral home with those of the animals.”
Chen Qing said, “For now, besides Yin Daijun, the only one we
can think of is the butcher.”
They talked for a while, but noticed that Ning Su had been
silent the entire time, staring ahead without blinking.
The scarred man had let go of the groom and was looking at
them with a strange and insane smile.
Ning Su reached out and waved at him. “Didn’t expect to see
you again in a place like this.”
“......”
It took more than four hours for the two grooms to invite
their brides into the wedding hall.
The two grooms nearly lost their dignity countless times
along the way, kneeling and crawling to carry their brides into the hall.
The hall was decorated with red “mourning” on the left, white
“double happiness” on the right, and red veils filled the air.
In the center sat a real bride.
She sat on a black antique carved chair, wearing a red
wedding gown and a red veil covering her head, which fell all the way down to
her hands resting on her lap.
She sat quietly, and all the surrounding ghosts became quiet
when they approached her.
Even the crows’ voices seemed gentle: “Bow to heaven and
earth.”
The black bull even kneeled down.
The scarred man did not kneel down. Suddenly, his body
trembled, and he knelt down with a grunt.
“Kowtow to the parents.”
Both pairs faced the bride in the seat, and all the ghosts in
the room faced her, including the red-lipped male ghost and the long-haired ghost
standing at the center of the square.
All five people realized that this red-dressed bride had an
extraordinary identity.
They suspected once again whether she was Yin Daijun or the
ghost master.
After the couple bowed to each other, these two strange “couples”
were sent back to their respective homes.
When they left, both grooms had pale faces and lifeless eyes.
The scarred man’s terrifying face showed an excited and
strange expression. When he walked to the door, he turned around and gave them
a grin.
After the newlyweds left, the male ghost with red lips said
to them, “Next up is the wedding feast. After you finish eating, will you stay
here?”
Of course, they had to stay. They didn’t have much time left
and they had to investigate this place.
They just didn’t know if staying here meant they would have
to stay here forever.
Su Wangsheng asked, “Can we stay here for the night?”
The male ghost nodded, and Ning Su asked, “Can we stay in
this room?”
“...”
The smile on the male ghost’s face disappeared, and his mouth
twitched.
The atmosphere suddenly became terrifying.
After a while, he smiled and said, “You can, but there are
only two rooms available.”
Ning Su happily nodded. “Thank you, big brother.”
The male ghost said, “Let’s go eat the wedding feast now.”
As soon as the other four people heard the wedding feast,
their scalps tingled. Only Ning Su followed the male ghost actively.
He asked the male ghost, “Big brother, were you also deceived
into coming to Huaiyang Village for a ghost marriage?”
“...”
It turned out that being a social butterfly was not limited
to humans.
The male ghost’s glamorous red lips curved slightly. “Hmm.”
He looked up at the sky and met the pale yellow sun for a few
seconds, feeling emotional. “I used to be a little star, and I had a fan who
liked me very much.”
“That fan was the only daughter of a big shot who died young.
I received an invitation to audition for a ghost marriage movie and came to
Huaiyang Village. While filming, I got into the coffin and saw my fan.”
Ning Su said, “No wonder you put on lipstick. Turns out
you’re a celebrity.”
The male ghost turned to look at him. “Is it pretty?”
Ning Su nodded. “It’s red and looks good.”
The male ghost chuckled. “Because I wanted to be famous.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have auditioned for an unknown movie,
climbed mountains and crossed rivers to come to Huaiyang Village, and filmed a
scene 19 times.”
Ning Su made a sound of agreement.
As they listened to him speak in a gentle, low voice, the
other four players fell silent.
They continued on in silence.
They dared not eat the wedding feast, and it was even more
obvious that the animals held a higher position than the humans here.
The only one worried was the foodie, Ning Su, who still
wanted to eat.
Zhu Shuangshuang turned to look at Ning Su and saw him
holding his chopsticks, head bowed, murmuring quietly.
Only when they came closer, could they hear what he was muttering.
It was like chanting a mantra: “Human flesh is poisonous,
human flesh is poisonous, human flesh is poisonous...”
“?”
Looking at the table full of meat dishes and recalling the
scene at the slaughterhouse, the four people suddenly felt an uncontrollable
urge to vomit.
They only ate a few bites of vegetables before rushing back
to the villa in a sorry state.
The red-lipped male ghost had prepared a room for them on the
second floor. The five of them went to the relatively large one to discuss the
current situation.
As they were about to close the window, Chen Tian saw the
bride in red in the backyard.
The others also saw her.
The backyard was still full of lily flowers. These flowers
were different from the real world. The petals were rich in color like blood,
and the vines were green with red infiltrating, making them appear black.
A bride in a red wedding dress was standing still with a red
veil over her head. Beside her feet was a black dog, also silently watching
her.
“This is Yin Daijun’s villa. Could she be Yin Daijun?”
“If she is Yin Daijun and the ghosts here respect her so
much, is she not the ghost master?”
Chen Tian frowned, “If she is both Yin Daijun and the ghost
master, we should get a prompt that we can leave this instance.”
Chen Qing understood his thoughts and added, “We are decoding
the mystery and relationships inside of Huaiyang Village. According to the
current situation, it is the relationships of the animals to this village.”
“They are the unique ecological feature of this world.”
All five people agreed with this.
Chen Qing continued, “I think we have seen the reason for
their formation. The Huaiyang Village in the outer world holds underground Yin
weddings. The butcher replaces the bone ashes they use for the wedding ceremony
with those of animals. In this strange world, anyone who marries the groom
becomes an animal.”
“After humans marry animals, under some strange rules or
experiments in this ghost world, the beast people are then formed. They are
also ghosts, and the instance name is Ghost Animal.”
This line of thought was also valid.
“So, we have basically decoded the ecological formation
reason of Huaiyang Village. We just need to find the ghost master and
understand the story behind them.”
“If this is Yin Daijun, and she is the ghost master,
according to our speculation, we also know that her story is about a ghost
wedding. Now, we can move on to the next level.”
The other three people understood what the siblings meant.
The bride in the red wedding dress below, if she was Yin
Daijun, then she was not the ghost master.
If she was the ghost master, then she was not Yin Daijun, and
they must explore who was under the red veil.
They just arrived in this eerie world, they could recklessly
lift the red veil of the bride who was respected by the ghosts here.
Besides, who knew what’s under this red veil.
“I think she is Yin Daijun, besides the fact that she
currently lives in Yin Daijun’s villa,” Zhu Shuangshuang said, “there is one
more thing.”
“Do you still remember when we first discovered Yin Daijun in
the outer world, there was a photo of her back, just like this, she and a black
dog were standing in the backyard.”
Zhu Shuangshuang and Chen Qing were the ones who first
discovered Yin Daijun. They lived in the master bedroom of the villa and
discovered that the woman who lived there was called Yin Daijun.
Later, they were shown two photos, one of her facing the
camera and the other of her back.
The photo of her back was like this, Yin Daijun standing in
the yard with a black dog looking up at her.
The one of her facing the camera was her sitting on the grass
in the yard with a man, and the black dog was lying on her lap rubbing her
belly.
This problem feels like it had come to a dead end unless they
lifted the red veil of the bride now.
“Let’s put the bride aside for now,” Chen Tian said, “the
other NPCs worth researching now are the butcher.”
He pulled the curtains and said, “We’ll split into two
groups, one to go to the butcher’s place and the other to explore this eerie
inner world of Huaiyang Village.”
“Ning Su and Chen Qing go to the butcher’s place.”
The two nodded, and there was no problem.
It took four hours for the groom to invite the bride into the
wedding hall. It was already afternoon at this time.
After assigning the tasks, they began to prepare without
delay, not noticing that the black dog in the yard had turned into a phantom
and disappeared.
Only the bride in the red wedding dress remained, standing
there silently and lonely, until the blood-red moon replaced the wax-yellow
sun.
Thanks for the update!! 😨😨
