Si Yan pushed open the nearest coffin lid and saw Jiang Nuo lying peacefully inside, her arms pressed tightly against the coffin wall, her sleeping face serene, and her breathing soft and gentle.
He paused for a moment, just about to reach out and pull the person out, when he saw Jiang Nuo sit up straight, baring his teeth at him, "Heh!"
Si Yan: "... Yes, Nuonuo."
He hugged the person helplessly and joked, "Have you turned into a zombie?"
"Wow, you weren't scared at all! You've gotten braver!"
Jiang Nuo used the strength of his arms to jump down, dusted off his arms, and looked extremely puzzled.
"Huh... why am I stuck in the same spot?"
However, only the coffin remained; the bridal sedan chair and the ghosts who carried it were gone.
The two pushed open the last coffin, only to find that Pu Sang had a dagger plunged into his heart, his face was purple, and bruises had formed.
It appeared that he had overexhaled and then been frightened, leading him to choose to stab himself to death as Jiang Nuo had instructed.
Jiang Nuo exclaimed, "So clever!"
He likes obedient children.
Then he slammed the coffin lid shut and continued to survey his surroundings.
The light was so dim that only a faint red silk cloth could be seen in the distance, emitting a dark red glow.
"Shall we go over there?" Si Yan asked.
"Certainly."
Jiang Nuo naturally took his hand and walked towards Youguang.
Si Yan lagged half a step behind, glanced down at the arm that had been taken by her, and smiled slightly.
Is Nuonuo... really not angry anymore?
very nice.
Never again will we engage in the Cold War.
"You two actually survived..."
"Wow, this variety show is simply phenomenal! A pair of guests are reduced to just two, and the other one is the murderer who killed everyone else."
[I've already called the police... Once the variety show ends, you two will be going to jail, haha...]
[To call this a done deal now, you guys are awesome!]
[I've got it! Didn't you see there's still a female ghost here? And the villagers who should have died in the illusion are all alive, how could there be nothing going on...?]
The two people heading towards the ghostly light suddenly stopped and stood still, looking at the bridal sedan chair that was coming from the ghostly light.
At the same time, the surrounding trees on both sides rapidly closed in, gradually squeezing out their escape space. The trees were dense with thorns and snakes and insects, leaving them nowhere to escape.
If they wanted to back away, the coffin that had just been left behind was now blocking the way again.
This is deliberately creating a dead end for them.
Jiang Nuo remained calm, raising her eyes to observe the bridal sedan chair approaching, accompanied by the bouncy, child-like ghosts.
Hehehe...
The child ghosts no longer pretended to be normal; they were covered in blood, with broken necks, broken arms, and some even missing half their heads.
They jumped and laughed, but their eyes were filled with extreme sinister resentment. They surrounded the two of them and shoved them towards the bridal sedan chair.
It was a real impact, without any cushioning whatsoever.
Jiang Nuo raised her arm to transfer the spirits, blocking the impact of the bridal sedan chair. The surroundings seemed to freeze completely. The child ghosts looked at each other, stood in a row screaming, and raised their arms in unison, pointing directly at the sky above the bridal sedan chair.
Seven Guiding Souls flew over, led by the zombie of the first person. They all retained the appearance of their corpses in life, and were equally terrifying, especially the members of the guest group.
The corpses of Zhou Yize and Lin Yu were both murdered by Jiang Nuo. They were clearly empty shells without souls, yet the Ghost Bride imbued them with Resentment Threads, making them more poisonous than other ghosts with souls.
Jiang Nuo responded with an "Ah!"
"This is revenge."
Si Yan replied, "They don't have their own souls inside them; they're fake."
"You're right." Jiang Nuo snapped his fingers. "Zombies, come on!"
Immediately, a chaotic commotion erupted from within the woods. The red-haired zombie had been summoned again, and whether it had become more wary or something else, it cautiously probed for a while before finally flying over.
"Heh..."
The red-haired zombie leaped towards the Guiding Souls zombie, and the other ghosts responded, attacking Jiang Nuo and his companion.
"You killed me... Why did you kill me..."
Zhou Yize's voice was eerie and menacing, like a death curse, relentlessly haunting Jiang Nuo, his lifeless and venomous eyes fixed on her.
"You're so cruel..."
"What are you yelling about!"
Tired of hearing this, Si Yan channeled her Spiritual Power into the dagger, stabbing it repeatedly until Zhou Yize's corpse was riddled with holes.
They were not swayed at all by the fact that these ghosts looked exactly like the guests.
No matter how terrifying the Guiding Souls may seem, it is nothing more than the Resentment Threads of the Ghost Bride, its main appeal being its disgusting nature rather than its lethality.
For example, Jiang Nuo didn't dare to get close to the third person who was covered in centipedes and insects, for fear that they would crawl onto him.
He simply threw a Blazing Flame Talisman over, burning it to ashes.
Even that didn't kill them; they just stood there, blackened, dripping with sap, accompanied by the stench of burning insects.
Jiang Nuo: "Ugh!"
He jumped three feet away.
The red-haired zombie also emerged victorious, biting open the guide zombie's head, then smacking its teeth a few times, seemingly finding it unpalatable, and spitting it all out.
A human and a zombie were squatting by the roadside vomiting. Jiang Nuo had just finished dry heaving when he felt that the red-haired zombie also smelled bad, so he turned around and vomited again.
Si Yan quickly handed over some disinfectant wipes.
In a way... it can be considered to have blindly followed its master.
Could these corpses be fake? They look so strange.
"Ugh, here we go again! The bridal sedan chair! I'm getting horrified of seeing those things now."
" Si Yan! Come here quickly!"
Jiang Nuo looked up and realized that Si Yan hadn't noticed the bridal sedan chair coming towards her. She shouted, but it was too late. Si Yan reacted in time and realized that she had been momentarily distracted and had already bumped into the bridal sedan chair. The next second, she was pushed into the sedan chair and sat steadily inside.
All of this happened in just a few seconds.
Si Yan was stunned, then glanced down at him, seeing him dressed entirely in his wedding attire.
Si Yan: "..."
Shocking.
Could this Ghost Bride be trying to get her husband to take the blame for her death?
He tried to break out, but there was clearly a set of rules here, like being in a coffin; even if you managed to get out before reaching your destination, you would be back in the next second.
Si Yan thought that only she was being taken away, but little did she know that Jiang Nuo had also been pushed into the bridal sedan chair and was also dressed in a groom's outfit.
To make matters worse, Jiang Nuo seemed to have already guessed what the Ghost Bride was planning.
The answer was confirmed when the bridal sedan chair landed and burst out.
Both were dressed in wedding attire, draped in mourning flowers. The Mourning-clad Sha, who had disappeared at some point, reappeared, his body hunched over, holding a bronze staff, laughing and making comical gestures.
Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow, observing the group of thugs.
Everything around me changed in an instant, and for a moment it seemed as if I had returned to the mourning hall.
Unlike the Ghost King Illusory Realm, the people wearing new clothes were now him and Si Yan.
"Red clothes suit people best, "Si Yan glanced at Jiang Nuo again and again, then suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"We'll wear this when we actually get married."
Jiang Nuo exclaimed in shock, "This is mourning clothing! Look at the collar!"
Si Yan: "... I meant wearing new Chinese-style clothing."
The Ghost Bride, who had already appeared outside the mourning hall, let out a shriek, seemingly dissatisfied with their deliberate neglect.
Si Yan glared at him, her anger directed at him, "What are you yelling about?"
That scared him to death!
