The sky slowly darkened.
The ghost bride was still lying quietly in the coffin, the white paper covering her face oozing blood a little bit, and the outline of the facial features emerged, as if the paper was about to burst out.
The candles in the hall turned on and off, adding to the gloomy atmosphere.
In the side hall next door, a figure stood there in a circle, their heads bowed, everyone's faces were hidden in the darkness, only the eyes glowed a little.
The faint voices rang out one after another.
"Say."
"What exactly is going on."
"Hurry up and make it clear."
He Bo, surrounded by players: …
Why does it seem like the roles have switched
The man in the suit said, "How did this ghost bride come from?"
He Bo pursued the idea of one question and three ignorance. No matter what he asked, he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
Seeing that it was about to get dark, the players couldn't help but get anxious.
Possibly due to the infection of Shen Dongqing, the players became much more courageous, and the non-mainstream clenched their fists and threatened: "I respect the old man more, if you don't say it, don't blame me for not being serious."
Uncle He had seen hundreds of college students who came to Sishui Town for fun. It was the first time he had encountered such a fierce one, and the cold sweat broke down at that time.
"I really don't know." He Bo saw that he really had no choice, so he could only explain, "This is a custom handed down in Sishui Town, and ghost brides are worshipped every year."
The things enshrined are naturally living people.
"If you don't worship, some horrible things will happen."
I don't know what calamity the ancestors of Sishui Town have caused. Every year, living people are used to make sacrifices. Gradually, Sishui Town became desolate, and only a dozen households remained.
Just when the aborigines in Sishui Town were about to become extinct, for some reason, a group of outsiders would come to the town every once in a while, and these outsiders were more favored by ghost brides.
Let others die, and you can live yourself.
Who wouldn't want to do such a good deal
He Bo said tremblingly: "I know this..."
The non-mainstream didn't believe it, and wanted to threaten to try again, but He Bo said that there was only this information.
Other players can only give up.
JK beautiful girl worried: "The ghost bride will wake up soon."
Shen Dongqing snorted coldly and said, "I'll just wait for her to come."
The attention of the person who dared to hit him was because he didn't want to be a ghost.
The beautiful girl JK glanced at the murderous Shen Dongqing and thought, maybe she should worry about the ghost bride.
The non-mainstream asked in a low voice, "Would you like to prepare something?"
The man in the suit nodded: "Everyone put the spells together, maybe you can take down the ghost bride in one fell swoop and solve the puzzle."
They gathered together, put together a stack of yellow talismans, represented by the beautiful girl JK, and gave it to Shen Dongqing.
Shen Dongqing asked strangely: "What are you doing for me?"
The beautiful girl JK said, "Isn't this preparation to fight the ghost bride?"
Shen Dongqing nodded: "That's right."
However, instead of picking up the stack of yellow talismans, he said to Uncle He, "I'm hungry, let's prepare something to eat, or hot pot."
He Bo walked out tremblingly with a gloomy face.
The beautiful girl JK pinched the yellow talisman and looked confused: "What do you want to eat?"
Shen Dongqing: "Isn't it a pre-war preparation? I can't perform when I'm hungry."
JK beautiful girl: "Huh?"
So a group of players watched Shen Dongqing happily eat the steaming hot pot.
The gloomy atmosphere in the hall was swept away, and turned into a delicious hot pot flavor.
Midnight is approaching.
Shen Dongqing was too full again, and while waiting, he leaned on Zhou Wenyan's shoulder and fell asleep.
In order not to be affected, the other players hid early, leaving only the two of them.
Zhou Wenyan stroked Shen Dongqing's shoulder repeatedly, and looked up at the coffin placed in the hall.
The contents of the coffin began to be restless, and there was a sound of "sizzling", as if something was rubbing against the inner wall of the coffin.
After this continued for a period of time, the filthy blood seeped out from the gap of the coffin, landed on the bluestone slab, and meandered all the way into the side hall.
boom-
The ghost bride suddenly sat up with her corpse, her feet off the ground, and floated over gently like a paper kite.
With her movement, the white paper covering her face peeled off and fell to the ground, soaked with blood.
The hair accessories on the ghost bride's head drooped down, and behind Jin Liusu opened a pair of eyes with no whites. She grinned, and the stench of silt ran down her lips.
A gloomy wind blew, and the old wooden lattice windows crackled.
Shen Dongqing frowned slightly, woke up, looked up, and met the ghost bride's soulless eyes.
After seeing the people in the side hall, the ghost bride's body stiffened and she froze in place.
After a while, the ghost bride turned around and ran away, looking like she wished she hadn't come out of the coffin.
It's just that the ghost bride ran a little slower, and before she could get back into the coffin, someone grabbed her shoulders.
Shen Dongqing smiled slightly, a cute dimple appeared on his cheek, looking very harmless: "Talk about it?"
Ghost Bride shivered instinctively.
She remembered the fear of being forced back into the coffin and unable to move.
The strength in Shen Dongqing's hand increased: "You have a crush on my person?"
The Ghost Bride is a ghost who is supported by a wave of resentment. She doesn't have much reason, but even so, there will be fear. Under Shen Dongqing's smile, she clasped her hands together, and was about to kneel down to prove that she didn't have this thought, nor did she dare to have it.
Nonsense, if you know that she is robbing someone with a big boss, she will never leave the warm coffin.
Seeing that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Shen Dongqing snorted coldly, and withdrew her hand: "Do you know that it is a feudal superstition to marry a yin relative?"
Ghost Bride stayed.
She is feudal superstition itself...
But because of the gap in strength, the ghost bride can only be forced to receive education.
"Marriage is a very important thing." Shen Dongqing said solemnly, "It must be consensual, forced marriage is immoral, and yin relatives are not protected by law!"
As Shen Dongqing spoke, he remembered the ghost who married Zhou Wenyan, and felt even more that he had to crack down on the act of marrying yin.
After a brief education, he remembered the business: "Why do you want to marry someone?"
The ghost bride stood beside Shen Dongqing like a little daughter-in-law, her head bowed.
She wanted to explain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the mud stuck in her mouth flowed out, and she couldn't speak at all, she could only make an "ah" sound.
Zhou Wenyan said, "Take us to the place with the tablet."
Fortunately, this is what the Ghost Bride can do. She turned and floated in front, leading the two of them to the depths of the Shen family's old house.
Behind the locust tree, there is a very hidden door, which is blocked by all kinds of debris.
The ghost bride went directly through the wall.
Zhou Wenyan took two steps and jumped over the fence with ease. He bent down, pulled Shen Dongqing, and the two jumped down together and landed in the yard.
The yard behind this door has not been set foot on for a long time, and a thick layer of fallen leaves has accumulated on the ground, exuding a rancid smell.
The ghost bride pointed to the small house in the center of the courtyard.
Unlike other dilapidated and old buildings, this house still looks bright and beautiful, with white walls and black tiles, two closed doors and a lock on the outside.
The ghost bride gestured, indicating that she did not have a key.
Shen Dongqing stepped forward and grabbed the big bronze lock, only to hear a "click", and the lock fell down.
Just kidding, Shen Dongqing hasn't destroyed anything? Even if it is a security door, it is a one-step thing, and it will be blocked by an old-fashioned lock
Shen Dongqing dropped the lock and walked in first.
Here is a shrine.
The one facing up is a tablet that is as high as a hill, densely packed and directly covered with a wall. There are incense and candle offerings in front of the tablet, as if someone has been worshiping.
Shen Dongqing took a closer look, and there were lines of words written on the tablet, all of which belonged to the Shen family.
It seems that this Shen family has a long history, there are hundreds of tablets alone, and people are dazzled by the candlelight.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with these tablets, but Zhou Wenyan looked at the two rows carefully and found a special place.
"The names on these tablets are all surnamed Shen."
Logically speaking, in the ancestral hall, all the elders of a large family are sacrificed. Whether it is a man in the original family or a daughter-in-law who married outside, they can enjoy worship, but here, there are obviously no foreigners, and every tablet is full of Shen. surname.
Another point is that the daughters of Shen Moumou were written on the tablet, all of them died young, and the eldest one did not live past the age of eighteen, as if only boys in the entire family could survive.
So where did the woman go
Zhou Wenyan looked at the ghost bride standing aside.
tick-
A drop of turbid water dripped from the ghost bride's body, and you could see that the exposed skin was stained with mud.
Zhou Wenyan thoughtful: "Pond?"
At this time, a gust of wind blew past, overturned a tablet, and rolled down at Shen Dongqing's feet.
He bent over to pick it up, turned it over and saw the name engraved on it, and said in surprise, "This is actually my tablet!"
If ordinary people saw their name appear on the tablet, they would have been frightened and stupid. Fortunately, Shen Dongqing was not an ordinary person. He had already died once, so he didn't care about it, and even picked up the tablet and observed it carefully.
"Why do you use such poor wood?" Shen Dongqing was very dissatisfied, "The engraved characters are too ugly."
Zhou Wenyan stepped forward: "Is there my tablet?"
"No." Shen Dongqing shook the tablet, "Want to engrave one for you?"
Zhou Wenyan pressed Shen Dongqing's hand and explained helplessly: "This is for the dead." He still can't use this thing.
Shen Dongqing suddenly realized: "Does that mean I'm dead now?"
Zhou Wenyan let out a sullen smile, reached out and squeezed his cheek: "How is it?"
Shen Dongqing could clearly feel the slightly rough fingertips running across the skin, and if there was a touch, it meant that he wasn't dead.
"Itching." Shen Dongqing patted off the hand that was still touching his face.
Zhou Wenyan put down his hand and said, "But why is there no tablet for me?"
According to the characters in the game, he and Shen Dongqing are "brothers", but one is a native of Sishui Town, and the other is fostered outside since childhood. The two sides are opposite camps.
Could it be that the problem lies in this deck
Zhou Wenyan didn't think of a reason, so he decided to leave here first.
On this night, no one dared to fall asleep.
The other players were all huddled in a room, tremblingly waiting for the dawn.
In the silence, someone suddenly said, "Will something happen to the two of them?"
The man in the suit said: "Who knows, this game is very dangerous, and no one knows how long they will live."
Non-mainstream said hesitantly: "If both of them fall into the ghost bride's place, wouldn't we be in danger..."
The man in leather said: "They are not dead in vain. At least we know the conditions for ending a yin relative. Just be careful not to be named."
The non-mainstream interrupted him: "It's still not dawn, how can you be sure that something happened to them?"
The man in leather jacket: "It's a matter of chance, so why don't people tell me?"
Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, the beautiful JK girl who had been silent for a long time gently opened the door and walked out quietly, without attracting anyone's attention.
In the deep corridor, the beautiful girl JK walked out like a ghost
She heard a call ringing in her ear.
"come over… "
"Come here… "
JK beautiful girl's consciousness was clear, but her body couldn't help but walked over following the call. She wanted to fight, but she was lazy and couldn't get up.
tick.
A bit of foul-smelling liquid fell on the ground.
The beautiful girl JK looked up and saw the swollen and pale woman lying on the wall, waving at her.
past.
It's fine as long as it's past.
The beautiful girl JK only struggled for a moment and walked over in a trance.
Just as she was about to walk into the arms of these women, she suddenly heard a voice.
"Is she sleepwalking?"
Then JK beautiful girl's eyes darkened and she lost consciousness.
With a knife in hand, Shen Dongqing stunned the beautiful girl JK and stopped her sleepwalking behavior. Then, without any sense of pity for Xiangxiyu, she let her lie on the ground.
The back of JK's head hit the ground and was woken up again by pain.
"Hey, why does my neck hurt so much?" JK beautiful girl rubbed her neck and stood up suspiciously.
Shen Dongqing put his hands in his pockets, as if it was none of his business.
Zhou Wenyan took the topic directly and asked, "What did you just see?"
Not to mention it's okay, the beautiful girl JK was scared to cry when she said: "I just saw a lot of women lying on the fence..." She turned her head, and the fence was bare and nothing.
JK beautiful girl was stunned: "Where's the ghost?"
Zhou Wenyan walked over to take a look. There were no ghosts on the fence, but there were wet traces and stench of silt.
silt.
Another pond.
Zhou Wenyan said, "It looks like I'm going to see the pond."
There must be something in the pond, but just because they don't seem to be able to dig out the things in the pond, they still have to find a few coolies to help.
knock --
The voice is not heavy, but it is particularly prominent in the middle of the night, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
The players in the room all stopped talking and turned their heads stiffly to look over.
Under the moonlight, you can see a long figure standing outside.
"Fuck."
"It won't be a ghost bride, will it?"
The players froze in place. There was only one exit in this room. If they were blocked by the ghost bride and opened the door to kill, it would be impossible to escape.
The man in the suit suggested, "Come out."
There is only this way, the non-mainstream closed his eyes and said, "Life and death have fate! Whoever dies is unlucky!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out towards the door, trying to run away in a hurry.
Just as soon as he knocked on the door, the non-mainstream realized that it was not the ghost bride but Zhou Wenyan who was standing at the door. He wanted to brake quickly, but he rushed too hard, a sudden brake fell directly to the ground, and even the people behind him rushed over. .
Zhou Wenyan was silent:…
I have to say, this was the worst he's ever had. But it's okay, you don't have to rely on them to decrypt, just use it as a coolie, and it's not impossible to have a low IQ.
Shen Dongqing was amused and couldn't help but patted his thigh.
JK beautiful girl even snorted and laughed.
Zhou Wenyan was also infected by Shen Dongqing, and a slight smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "Come out and help."
As soon as the players stood up in dismay, they followed the two bosses out.
When he was about to go out, Shen Dongqing stopped.
Zhou Wenyan asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Dongqing said: "Before the game said that my setting was not to leave the Shen family's old house."
But he thought about it and took out the tablet from his arms. He took it out easily before, and now it is just in use.
"Looks like you'll be fine with this."
Zhou Wenyan glanced over the tablet, but did not stop him.
The streets were dead silent at night.
It seems that there are no living people in the entire Sishui Town, it is quiet, and there is no sound at all.
The beautiful girl JK rubbed her arms and lowered her head to keep up with the team.
As she walked through a house, she seemed to have a feeling, raised the lantern and glanced.
It's okay not to look at it, but I was startled when I saw it.
A figure was standing behind the window, quietly watching the group of people passing by.
The beautiful girl JK was so frightened that she stood on the spot, her throat seemed to be blocked, and a little voice was released.
Non-mainstream first discovered what was wrong with her and stopped: "What's wrong?"
JK beautiful girl trembled with her fingers, pointed to the window, and stammered: "There is someone there."
The players heard this and looked in the direction she pointed.
The non-mainstream subconsciously burst out a foul language: "Fuck."
The person who peeped at them was not only not afraid, but also looked at them through the window, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.
"I, let's go." JK beautiful girl urged.
Others also agreed and wanted to leave here quickly, after all, this person looked so weird that it made the scalp tingle.
But there was one person in the team who did the opposite.
Shen Dongqing walked directly through the crowd and walked towards the house.
The man in the suit standing next to him didn't even have time to stop him, he could only look at Shen Dongqing's back and stomp his feet: "What did you do in the past?"
Shen Dongqing turned her head sideways: "What's there to be afraid of? With so many of us, we should be afraid of him."
With that, he opened the window and smiled friendly with the person standing inside.
The voyeur standing by the window obviously did not expect this hand, and suddenly shrank back in fear.
Shen Dongqing grabbed the person directly and dragged him out of it forcefully.
He threw the slightly thin man on the ground and raised his chin: "Don't you want to dig a pond? Coolie."
The other players were stunned.
Shen Dongqing touched his chin: "It seems that one is not enough."
He raised his eyes and swept over, and met a pair of eyes hiding in the darkness.
The other players watched helplessly as Shen Dongqing knocked on the door one by one, then simply and rudely pulled out all the aborigines and drove them to the open space.
The aborigines were lined up in two teams. At first glance, there were at least forty or fifty people, all of them young and middle-aged. There were no women in Sishui Town. These people were all pale, with heavy dark circles under their eyes, none of them were sleeping, and they were all standing in front of the window peeping.
Players shudder at the thought of so many eyes staring at them in the dark.
"It's horrible..." someone muttered.
Then the Aboriginal people paid the price for the voyeur immediately - they were all driven to dig ponds.
For some reason, as soon as the aborigines approached the pond, expressions of horror appeared on their faces, and they seemed very reluctant to approach here. But after Shen Dongqing easily picked up a person and threw it into the pond, the other aboriginals could only reluctantly walk down the pond.
The pond was not deep, and forty or fifty people were crowded into it and forced to do hard labor. When it was just dawn, the water in the pond was drained, revealing a thick layer of silt underneath.
JK beautiful girl pointed to a corner: "There seems to be something there."
Forty or fifty aboriginals looked at the place in unison.
A pale phalanx emerged from the mud, like a human finger.
Seeing this, the aboriginal people's expressions changed, and they ran out like crazy, ignoring the suppression by the big guys on the shore.
"So much reaction?"
Shen Dongqing didn't stop him either. Anyway, the coolie had already finished, so he just had to dig out the contents.
The three male players resigned and went down to dig mud.
However, after digging, I found that there were too many bones buried in the sludge. I dug all morning to find some of them. I am afraid that I will not be able to dig all the time here.
They had to stop first and go ashore to rest.
The excavated bones were placed on the edge of the pond, neat and tidy, without even a place to rest.
Zhou Wenyan said: "It's all female bones."
There are no women married in the tablets in the ancestral hall, and the skeletons of women are buried in the pond, while the aborigines in Sishui Town are only men.
There are definitely connections, but there are still not enough clues to get a proper explanation.
Shen Dongqing yawned: "Why don't you go back first."
After working all night, he was sleepy.
Having said that, the other players were also infected, and they all yawned.
Fortunately, after a night of misery, the players went into the room, forgetting the danger, and suddenly fell asleep.
On the contrary, Shen Dongqing, who had been sleepy at the beginning, was no longer sleepy. He tossed and turned on the bed, and suddenly a hard object hit his waist. He sat up, opened the bed, and saw a notebook tucked under it.
Notebook again.
It seems that the collection of clues in this game relies entirely on notebooks. Besides elementary school students, who can keep a diary
Shen Dongqing opened it and saw that the owner of this notebook was not very old, and it could really be a primary school student. The handwriting was crooked. On the page that was opened, there was a line of large characters, revealing a strange atmosphere.
- Mom is crazy.
