Xi Yu leaned against the wall, Li Shun held one end of the hemp rope, and the other end firmly tied up Young Master Li who was thrown outside the door. The candlelight under the red lantern was getting closer and closer, and the tour guide 04 looked outside the door nervously. .
There was a squeaking sound as fingernails tapped on the door frame. Blood seeped out from the inside out of the quaint room. The temperature dropped unconsciously. Xi Yu's hands and feet were numb from the cold. At the right moment, a touch of blood suddenly stuck to the plain wooden door. , a mixture of shrill wails and screams exploded, and countless bloody fingerprints made the wooden door clatter.
The sedan stopped in the courtyard, and the graceful figure stood under the locust tree. Young Master Li seemed to be awakened from his coma by these movements. Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw a bunch of monsters that couldn't even be called humanoids rushing past him. toward the room.
The wooden door was crumbling, and Young Master Li was stunned for a while.
Isn't he hiding well in his own courtyard? Why are you being tied up here?
The sedan chair didn't move, but the woman wearing a bright red embroidered wedding dress walked towards Young Master Li happily as if she had discovered the gift she had dreamed of.
The crying stopped and turned into sharp laughter. The woman walked to the room and looked at Xi Yu through the wall, assessing whether the gift was worth letting Xi Yu go.
Finally, as Young Master Li let out a desperate cry, the temperature in the room rose and the blood color gradually faded, but the woman stood outside Xi Yu's door, seemingly waiting for something.
It wasn't until Dongfang Lu Bai that the woman sat back on the sedan chair and left again. The hemp ropes dyed red again were scattered on the ground, but Young Master Li was nowhere to be found.
Xi Yu was awake for half the night, but her energy was still good. When she encountered major cases during her internship in the serious crime team, she often stayed up all night.
"I want to ask why she let me go?"
Facing Li Shun's curious gaze, Xi Yu yawned and took out a small bottle of yogurt from her backpack: "The essence of ghost marriage is not a marriage contract, but a sacrifice. The bride is not a participant, but a sacrifice." Part of it.”
"You also said that we, the guests who were lured here, are essentially sacrifices prepared by the Li family for her. Through our sacrifices, she is willing to temporarily raise you and slaughter you, and will not let you completely lose your souls."
Xi Yu's smile gradually deepened: "Since you can obtain temporary forgiveness by preparing sacrifices, why can't I prepare this sacrifice? She probably hates the Li family more than me who she has never even met."
"She is subject to certain restrictions and has not been able to find Young Master Li until now. However, I directly and unconditionally gave Young Master Li to her as a meeting gift. This is my ability and my sincerity."
The more Li Shun recalled these words, the more he felt something was wrong.
It sounds like she wants to form an alliance with a female ghost.
Unlike Tour Guide 04, Li Shun could not stay too far away from Xi Yu. Early the next morning, Xi Yu took Li Shun dressed as a servant to the restaurant. Just as he was thinking about how to explain Li Shun to everyone, two more respectful maids followed behind him. , opened his mouth and said that they were sent to serve distinguished guests.
The two maids were so respectful that they were almost afraid. When they saw Li Shun standing behind Xi Yu, they were both stunned.
Xi Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then followed them.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was heavy. Only Xu Cheng was eating breakfast as if no one else was around. No one knew what happened last night. Xi Yu, who had saved others, was killed because of their selfishness. Everyone who had not yet fully accepted the rules of the strange world felt extremely guilty and did not even notice. There is one person missing in the restaurant.
"What are you pretending to be?" Xu Cheng sneered: "The woman is dead, who else do you want to show her to?"
"Just think I'm telling you out of kindness."
Xu Cheng, who was immersed in joy, did not realize that the door was pushed open. He clapped his hands and laughed happily and said: "That woman has countless ghost coins and evil goods on her body. As long as she dies in the ghost story, whoever takes her body will I can inherit these things!”
"That's life-saving money!"
"If that woman hadn't been unlucky and died on the first night, I would have been the one to kill her!"
I see.
Xu Cheng's constant targeting and maliciousness are all explained.
As Jiang Yingnian's subordinate, Xu Cheng knew much more than Xi Yu.
She cleared her throat at the right time, and Shi Shiran applauded him: "A very good speech, very exciting."
"If I hadn't died, maybe someone would really believe your plan to sow discord?"
In addition to Baishi shopkeepers bringing their own ghost coins and special items, special items can also be obtained in ghost stories. Xiaoyue's diary is one of them. In addition to Xi Yu, others may also have special items. Xu Cheng said, It is different from pouring oil among participants who have no basis of trust.
Therefore, regardless of whether what Xu Cheng said was true or false, Xi Yu had to deny him.
"Great! Sister Xi Yu, you are not dead!"
Zhou Xiang happily approached Xi Yu, but was frightened by the maid and Li Shun who were following him: "Uh, what is this?"
"This is the personal maid prepared by the Master of the Li Mansion for me to prevent some people from harming me." Xi Yu glanced at the astonished Xu Cheng intentionally or unintentionally. She counted the number of people: "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived?"
Only then did everyone notice that the middle-aged man who had violated the rules first had not come to the restaurant yet.
The man who lived with him had been killed by the chef and became yesterday's dinner. No one noticed the middle-aged man's absence for a while.
"The people who didn't come live in room three, right?" Xi Yu leaned against the door frame and didn't even look at Xu Cheng: "I'm going to see what's going on. Do you want to follow?"
Sun Xuanyi and another woman who had successfully escaped from the ghost story shook their heads, while Zhou Xiang and Lin Qiu followed Xi Yu step by step.
Not too surprising, the door of Room 3 was locked, and a paper man with blood spots on his neck was leaning against the threshold.
The facial features of the paper man are exaggerated simple drawings, and he is wearing a paper shroud, but the style is very similar to the clothes of a middle-aged man.
"He, was he made into a paper man?" Zhou Xiang's face turned pale and his voice trembled: "Why?"
The familiar living person turned into a paper man. This shock was greater than seeing the corpse directly. Lin Qiu also clenched his hands, wondering what he was thinking.
Xi Yu took out two lollipops from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Xiang and Lin Qiu: "Who knows? You should also be more careful, oh yes, don't completely trust the rules of Li Mansion."
"There is no evidence, but I think that a family that would force others into a ghost marriage would not be very kind to strangers."
Xi Yu asked two maids to bring shovels and shovels, and very unethically dug a pit under a tree in the garden just big enough to put the paper man in.
"My family has a long history of doing business, and we are very particular about this aspect. If there are no conditions, forget it. If it can be done, I still hope that he can be buried in peace."
It also avoids the trouble of resurrecting her in the middle of the night.
When Xi Yu put the middle-aged man into the pit, he found a bloody embroidery thread from his completely papered body.
Keenly aware that something was wrong, she put away the embroidery thread and said to Zhou Xiang and Zhou Xiang in a calm tone: "Next, I'm going to the kitchen to take a look. It's more dangerous if there are many people. You can go to other places to look for people who have left first. clue."
