After the fluctuations come stillness.
Nothing happened.
Lin Yu covered his palm and gritted his teeth, "Blood-soaked stones are useless, are you satisfied now?"
Jiang Nuo responded with an "Oh," her tone rising, "That's really strange."
" Jiang Nuo! Si Yan!"
Suddenly, shouts came from outside the house.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the newcomer with surprise.
Pu Sang: " Li Ta?!"
She quickly hid behind her two older brothers, wondering if the suddenly appearing Li Ta was a human or a ghost!
The others clearly shared this question, and they all stepped back as soon as Li Ta entered.
Jiang Nuo inexplicably became the one at the very front again.
Oh my god! I got such a fright this morning!
[ Li Ta! How could they suddenly appear? Could they have already arrived in... another dimension!]
[I feel like the person ahead is the ultimate truth-teller!]
"How did you suddenly appear?" Jiang Nuo asked.
His eyes continued to scan his surroundings, as if searching for something.
Li Ta: "You're one to talk! I've been looking for you guys for ages, and here you were hiding!"
"Quickly! The bride has been waiting for ages! Come and help!"
She quickly called to a few people, "Hey, I have to go help now, you guys come over quickly! Don't be late! She's busy with the wedding, really."
After saying that, he slapped his thigh and ran out, in a hurry.
Guest group. "...?"
Jiang Nuo pursed her lips and turned around, "Can any of you translate what he just said into Mandarin in a language that humans can understand?"
Everyone shook their heads.
It was only a short ten minutes or so after entering the room.
How come there's an extra bride in the village?!
When did Li Ta return to normal?
Question marks popped up one after another from the heads of the guests.
Si Yan was the first to step out the door, and when she saw the scene outside, she was stunned.
"Are we... collectively hallucinating?" Zhou Yize asked, bewildered.
The village chief's house was empty just a moment ago, but suddenly there are so many people busy at work!
It was also decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and red silk ribbons were hung high.
There was something like a pre-wedding atmosphere, Jiang Nuo thought, curiously looking left and right, "If the word "" is not written in black and white, it would look more like it."
Hehehehe...
The children who left with the bridal sedan chair last night also appeared in the open space, tossing a white embroidered ball around, their excitement growing.
" The Ghost King Illusory Realm," Jiang Nuo explained, "Is very powerful and should not be underestimated."
He said this, but his expression was quite pleased.
Lin Yu frowned, silently pressed his arm, and found that the itching and pain had disappeared, but his expression became even more serious.
He was also Ghost King, yet he could be easily pulled into another Ghost King Illusory Realm, which meant that the Ghost King's strength was at least ten times greater than his... even more troublesome than killing a boss.
The group retreated to the doorway and discussed the matter in hushed tones.
Wu Chou: "What should we do?"
Jiang Nuo snapped his fingers and smiled, "It's simple! Either find the Ghost King and kill him."
"Either fulfill the Ghost King's wish, which might be... to complete the wedding?"
After he finished explaining, he immediately raised his hand in an Ultraman-like gesture, "Raise your hand if you want to be the first one."
Only Si Yan, standing beside him, raised his hand without hesitation.
Guest group. "..."
[Another Yan Nuo found! A divine item!]
Even during arguments and periods of silence, you'll always be the other person's first choice!
Although... I really think Jiang Nuo has the ability to choose the first option!
Pu Sang scratched his face. "I think... the second one is safer..."
"What if... we can't beat them?"
Zhou Yize raised his hand and then lowered it again. After hesitating for a while, he still didn't raise it. Instead, he gently advised, " Jiang Nuo, this is very dangerous. Even the Ghost King can pull us directly into the illusion without our knowledge."
"You definitely won't be killed easily. Why don't you come with us to complete the second mission?"
Although Wu Chou didn't say anything, he clearly thought the same thing.
As for Lin Yu, he simply wanted to contradict him.
Lin Yu scoffed, "You think everyone's like you, rushing at the sight of ghosts and monsters, afraid of losing their life?"
Jiang Nuo suddenly tilted her head to look at him, her eyes filled with probing and a deeper meaning, "What did you just say? I rushed at the sight of the monster, how did you know?"
Si Yan looked at Lin Yu warily, her phoenix eyes sharp and filled with suspicion.
Does this person know Nuonuo's secret?
That secret about some system, one that even he didn't know.
Lin Yu realized he had misspoke, but remained completely calm, responding naturally, "We've filmed several episodes of this variety show together, do you think I can't tell? I'm not blind."
"So..."
Jiang Nuo nodded, then looked away, his expression unreadable.
Since it's four votes to two, then we have no choice but to...
Zhou Yize breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Nuo did not choose to directly seek out and kill the Ghost King, otherwise it would have been too risky.
"We'll have to split up."
Jiang Nuo finished speaking with a smile, "Even if the majority is against the minority, don't expect me to compromise."
After saying that, he took Si Yan's hand and left the village chief's house.
"Hey! Brother Nuo! Brother Yan!"
Pu Sang called out and moved, but biting his lip, he still hesitated and dared not.
Zhou Yize looked grim and sighed helplessly.
"No... why don't you follow them? Wouldn't it be faster to just kill the Ghost King directly...?"
"So they're just scared. Not every guest is honest. Jiang Nuo himself said they'd split up, so why are you all so worked up?"
Okay, okay... I'm going to watch Jiang Nuo kill the ghost!
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan were probably the strongest members of the guest group. Now that they're gone, I can't even imagine what will happen if these four suddenly encounter a ghost...
Pu Sang clearly thought so too.
"Without Brother Nuo, can we really fulfill the Ghost King's wish?"
Wu Chou: "Let's take it one step at a time."
He turned around and looked straight ahead at the house behind the main entrance, where many people were coming and going.
The village chief's wife, who had arranged the rooms for them on the first day, came out and asked them to come and help.
"Hey, since you're all here, come and lend a hand. There's a lot to do."
"The young lady needs to help the bride with her makeup, change her clothes, sew embroidered shoes, and guard the bridal sedan chair. Oh, and she also has to keep watch tonight."
The more they listened, the stranger it seemed to them.
Is this a wedding ceremony or a funeral ceremony...? What's with this vigil?
"Look at that sedan chair in the back, it looks like a coffin! Are they trying to arrange a ghost marriage, treating the wedding like a funeral?"
"Wrong!"
The aunt was assigning them tasks when she suddenly called out, her pupils sweeping over several people before turning to stare into Zhou Yize's eyes.
You're still missing two people.
"Where did those two go?!"
Before they could even think of a reply, Lin Yu was the first to answer, "Auntie, they've all run away."
He laughed gleefully, "Who can tolerate this? They're getting married here, and instead of helping, they run away. They should be brought back and punished properly!"
