Watching the lavish feast on the livestream, the Stream Viewers couldn't help swallowing.
Even through the screen, they felt as though they could smell the delicious aroma.
But the player death notification instantly snapped them back to reality.
Holy shit!
This was an Evil Spirit Instance, not a seven-star Michelin restaurant!
Wasn't all that food just bait to lure players into breaking the rules?
Yet, just like Roman, their expressions turned strange when they saw the rule that said, "Do not speak to the chef."
What was going on?
Had this Evil Spirit really brought Tang Xiaoling here for a meal?
Were they seriously about to be proven wrong yet again?!
But while most viewers were focused on the cafeteria, some also witnessed Lin Feng's miserable plight.
The entire sequence of events was bizarre beyond belief!
After getting separated from the others, he hadn't actually run around aimlessly. Instead, he had wisely returned to the dormitory.
After nightfall, the dormitory offered players protection.
As long as they stayed inside, their safety was more or less guaranteed.
But somehow, even though Lin Feng had clearly pushed open the dormitory door...
The next second, it had become the entrance to the Haunted House!
By the time he realized what had happened and tried to run, it was already too late.
The instant he stepped inside, the entrance slammed shut, then vanished!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng found himself in the Ghost Wedding House!
He was dressed in red robes, looking just like a bridegroom.
Beside him stood a female Evil Spirit wearing the Phoenix-Crown and Rosy-Robe, her face covered by a red bridal veil!
But what terrified the Stream Viewers most was that all the paper effigies had come to life and were congratulating the newlyweds.
A paper sedan chair was even carried over, apparently for Lin Feng to carry his bride into!
But by then, terror had already turned Lin Feng's legs to jelly.
He could barely stand, let alone muster the strength to carry a bride.
His failure to do so enraged the female Evil Spirit.
She abruptly rose to her feet and threw back her veil.
What followed made every viewer who saw it, along with Lin Feng himself, feel their scalps crawl.
The female Evil Spirit's face was ashen, her scarlet tongue hanging far out of her mouth, as though she had suffocated to death by hanging!
Countless fine, bright red cracks covered her face like a spiderweb!
At a glance, she looked like shattered tempered glass!
Her curved, blood-red fingernails looked to be half a meter long.
Most striking of all, the instant she lifted her veil, her long hair tumbled loose.
It was even longer than the Evil Spirit's one-meter-seventy height, its ends trailing on the ground!
The sight of his bride made Lin Feng faint dead away.
But with a light touch of her curved fingernail, the ghost woman brought him awake again in an instant.
The moment he opened his eyes, however, everything around him vanished.
In its place was a dim grove, with a solitary grave!
What made it terrifying was the pair of embroidered shoes sitting atop the grave's headstone!
Already scared out of his wits, Lin Feng didn't dare linger. He immediately got up and fled.
But he soon discovered that no matter how he ran, he couldn't escape the grove.
Strangest of all, although he exercised regularly, for some inexplicable reason...
He was panting with exhaustion after running barely a hundred meters.
The Stream Viewers, however, could clearly see what was happening from their all-seeing perspective.
The female Evil Spirit who had disappeared was now on Lin Feng's back!
And he seemed completely oblivious, carrying the Evil Spirit on his back the entire way!
Just then!
An eerie strain of wedding music suddenly rang out!
Immediately afterward, billowing white mist rose over the dark, sinister path, and a ghostly green light flared!
Horror struck Lin Feng, and he instinctively tried to flee.
But he found that his legs felt filled with lead. He couldn't move an inch.
Meanwhile, pinpricks of red light appeared ahead of him, drawing closer and closer!
Within seconds, characters spelling "double happiness" appeared before him.
But when he got a clear look, his scalp prickled violently, and his face twisted in horror!
Those "double happiness" characters were printed on lanterns.
The eerie part was that every lantern was held by a paper effigy!
They were all making chilling laughter as they hurried toward him!
Among the paper effigies was a red sedan chair.
But two lengths of white silk hung on either side of its entrance!
By now, Lin Feng had collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
Unable to escape, he could only helplessly shut his eyes.
Strangely enough, the moment he closed his eyes, every sound faded away, leaving utter silence!
It was as though everything that had just happened was an illusion and had never occurred.
But soon, Lin Feng sensed something was wrong.
Although he had been sitting on the ground, what he now felt beneath his hands was incredibly soft.
It felt like the silk quilt on his bed at home, wonderfully smooth to the touch.
The sudden sensation made him curious, but he didn't dare look.
He could only keep his eyes shut and repeatedly tell himself that none of this was real.
Yet, after an unknown stretch of time, the sensation remained.
Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, he slowly opened his eyes a crack and looked.
He discovered that he really was on a large bed!
The silk beneath his hands was a bright red wedding quilt embroidered with a dragon and phoenix!
Just then, he suddenly heard what sounded like footsteps approaching outside the room!
Lin Feng's heart lurched, and he hurriedly looked around.
But no matter how he searched, he couldn't find anywhere to hide.
Finally, inspiration struck. He quickly rolled off the bed and crawled underneath it.
At that very moment, the door slowly opened with an aged, grating creak.
"Husband?"
An incredibly sweet, soft voice drifted into the room.
Then came a flurry of frantic footsteps.
Hidden beneath the bed, Lin Feng watched the familiar embroidered shoes pace around the room, clearly searching for something!
"Husband!"
Suddenly, an agonized shriek rang out.
Lin Feng jolted in fright and hastily bit down on his finger, not daring to make a sound.
"Husband!!"
The piercing cry rang out again, even more grating than before!
Cold sweat covered Lin Feng's forehead. He had even stopped breathing.
He was terrified that the sound of his breath would draw the female Evil Spirit to him!
"You can't escape!!"
Fortunately, unable to find him, the female Evil Spirit turned and ran outside.
Watching the embroidered shoes leave, Lin Feng finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Even so, he didn't dare come out yet, afraid that the female Evil Spirit might return.
About ten minutes passed, and the female Evil Spirit still hadn't come back.
His whole body had gone numb, and Lin Feng knew that continuing to hide like this was pointless.
If he wanted to live, he had to escape!
After a long internal struggle, he finally steeled himself and slowly poked his head out.
No one...
Lin Feng silently breathed a sigh of relief and pushed his head out a little farther.
Still no one...
With half his head now exposed, he finally decided to crawl all the way out from under the bed.
But just as his entire head emerged, he suddenly felt a chill against the back of it.
Then a curtain of black hair fell, and that crack-covered face appeared right before his eyes!
"Husband, so this is where you've been..."
