Ghost Groom

Her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were all displayed openly, her eyes carrying faint traces of closeness.

It was like a little girl acting spoiled towards someone she trusted.

For a moment, Zhao Yiyun's worldview felt like it was shattering.

Did ghosts have emotions?

He had always thought ghosts were just creatures dominated by resentment, bloodthirsty things.

Before the dizziness in his head subsided, he faced the Ghost Bride's cold, chilling expression.

It seemed like she would kill him on the spot in the next second, or worse, dismember him.

Zhao Yiyun: "..."

Unlike with Bo Shuo, the Ghost Bride's malice towards the other examinees was palpable; she wished them all dead.

If Mr. Bo hadn't been here, she would have already made her move.

The Ghost Bride subtly looked up at Bo Shuo.

The young man wasn't looking at her. Instead, his gaze was fixed on an examinee huddled in a corner not far away, openly appraising him from head to toe.

His condition was undeniably poor; he was curled into a ball, covered in wounds, with bloodstains smeared across his face.

The others also noticed Bo Shuo's gaze and looked over.

Zhao Yiyun, having already taken a recovery potion, regained his senses and began to scrutinize Bo Shuo, trying to find the reason for his special attention.

But after searching for a long time, his confusion only deepened. This was clearly just an ordinary examinee.

Indeed, in the eyes of others, this person was merely an examinee who had narrowly survived a life-or-death crisis.

At least, that's how it appeared to everyone at the moment.

But Bo Shuo was different. Within his field of vision, everyone had their identity and name displayed above their heads.

And the person in the corner was clearly different from everyone else. They all had examinee nicknames above their heads.

But he had "NPC" above his.

(NPC: Ghost Groom)

Bo Shuo stared at him coldly and said, "Stop pretending."

The person in the corner seemed startled by Bo Shuo's words, offering a smile that looked worse than crying, trembling weakly, "Big shot, what are you talking about."

Everyone present held their breath; even the Ghost Bride's expression held a hint of confusion.

Stop pretending? Pretending what?

Before they could understand Bo Shuo's words, he had already made his move.

A cold glint flashed, and the blade flew from his hand, heading straight for the person's throat.

The person couldn't dodge in time and was suddenly cut across the throat, blood spraying out.

Then he collapsed to the ground.

The people next to him gasped, seemingly having not expected Bo Shuo to attack so suddenly. They shivered and slowly lowered their heads, meeting the dead man's unblinking eyes, goosebumps rising on their backs.

(Emotion Points from examinees +999+999...)

(They're feeling a lot of dread towards you now~)

Only the Ghost Bride watched curiously from the side. She was long accustomed to such bloodshed, only wondering why Bo Shuo had acted.

She even glanced dismissively at the corpse, chiding, "It's his fault! Couldn't he have just killed himself? He unnecessarily dirtied Mr. Bo's hands."

Her allegiance was completely with Bo Shuo.

Examinees at the scene: "..."

(Emotion Points from examinees +999...)

The situation changed in the next second. The fallen corpse began to sway and rise. One hand reached out from behind, touching its wildly bleeding neck, then forcefully pulled it to the sides.

With a chilling tearing sound, the outer layer of skin was ripped in half.

The surrounding examinees were terrified by this turn of events.

What was going on? Was this a zombie uprising?

A familiar face emerged from the flesh and skin.

Her skin was ghastly pale, exuding an ethereal ghostly aura, with upturned brows, thin lips, and a slender body.

"It's the Ghost Groom!" an examinee cried out.

A chill spread from their spines, followed by a cracking sound.

The Ghost Bride's eyes turned blood-red. Large chunks of stone wall still clung to her fingertips, and the black hair behind her stood on end like steel needles, shimmering with cold malevolence.

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with hatred.

The moment the Ghost Groom appeared, the Proctoring System's notification sounded in all the examinees' minds.

(Beep, detected examinee Bo Shuo has completed the bonus question - Helping the Ghost Bride find the Ghost Groom (20 points))

All the examinees present raised their heads in unison, expressions of horror on their faces.

It was an optional question!

You have to know that optional questions are extremely difficult to trigger. Every time one is triggered, it comes with a risk to life, and each question is time-sensitive and highly difficult. Even experts ranked in the top 10,000 find them hard to complete.

And now it had been easily solved.

Gazing at the young man's calm expression, Zhao Yunyi marveled from the bottom of his heart.

Such terrifying observational skills.

Putting himself in his shoes, if it were him, he would have been kept in the dark the entire time.

Let alone completing the task, as long as the Ghost Groom didn't show himself, there was no way he would have thought that the Ghost Groom was disguised as an examinee, staying by their side the whole time.

Not only the examinees hadn't thought of it, but the Ghost Groom on the other side also hadn't expected the current situation at all.

He was completely losing it, his resentful gaze fixed on Bo Shuo, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could you see through my disguise? I hid it so well, I was only an hour away, just one hour away from the Ghost Marriage being completely finalized!"
