Xu Zhixi almost couldn't resist, and she fell backwards, her back pressed against the edge of the dressing table, which made her feel uncomfortable.
In desperation, she thought of Gu Ziji's silver needle. She fumbled with her wedding dress for a while, then pulled out a sharp object, quickly pulled it out, and stabbed Xiao Cui in the chest without even thinking about it.
It was obviously a thin silver needle, but it was like a sharp sword, piercing her chest without any resistance.
In an instant, Xiao Cui's hand loosened and the dagger fell to the ground with a "clang" sound.
She opened her mouth wide, eyes widened, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, touched her chest, and fell straight back, hitting the ground.
Her body twisted and struggled on the ground for a moment, then became stiff and motionless.
She killed someone.
These four words came to Xu Zhixi's mind.
Almost at the same time, the system's electronic sound sounded: "Congratulations to player Xu Zhixi for successfully killing the first evil ghost."
Evil ghost?
Xiaocui is an evil ghost?
Xu Zhixi was confused, gasping for air, sweat beads falling from her forehead.
Xiao Cui is obviously a person in the copy, so how can he be an evil ghost?
Could it be that ghosts pretend to be humans?
Or, "evil ghost" doesn't just refer to ghosts?
She opened her panel again with trembling hands and checked the mission again, "Find the evil ghost in Xu House and eradicate the evil ghost."
The mission did say evil ghosts, so they took Xu Xuan as the mission target from the beginning. However, the system said that Xiaocui was the first evil ghost.
Therefore, either ghosts can pretend to be humans, or bad people are also evil ghosts.
And according to Xiaocui's words, she was probably the one who killed the previous bride and drained her blood to make her look like that. Mrs. Xu Er said that the maids and servants were also drained of blood to death.
It's hard not to relate to them.
Could it be that Xiaocui killed someone for Xu Xuan?
But if the bride was killed out of jealousy, why would she kill the other maids and servants?
His thoughts were in chaos, and at this moment, the door was opened, and several people came in, all of them were maids from the Xu family. They glanced at Xu Zhixi, who was pale and pale, and then at Xiaocui lying on the ground, with an expression of shock and bewilderment.
"She tried to kill me with a dagger, but she was killed instead."
Xu Zhixi told the truth that she was a Taoist priest and she still had the ability to kill people.
Another middle-aged woman walked in. She was Zhang Ma whom she met yesterday. When she saw Xiao Cui lying on the ground, her expression didn't change. She walked forward and squatted down to check her breathing.
"Someone, take the body away."
The attendants came in, separated from both sides of her, and raised Xiao Cui's body. Zhang Ma turned around, watched the attendants go out, and then turned back, still expressionless.
"Third Madam, it's time to pay your respects."
Very strange. Xiao Cui died here. Not only was this Zhang Ma not surprised, but she acted very naturally.
Like——
Don't care at all.
It’s time to worship...
Xu Zhixi felt that she was saying it was time to hit the road.
Zhang Ma picked up the red hijab on the ground, put it on Xu Zhixi's head, and helped her stand up.
Xu Zhixi walked forward slowly, her heart feeling cold with every step she took.
She had just used the silver needle on Xiao Cui, which meant that her last chance to save her life at night was gone.
However, who would have thought that before meeting a real evil ghost, he would encounter another "evil ghost"?
The wind blew her wedding dress and hijab, and the hijab was floating, but it was not lifted at all, as if it was stuck to her head. She was supported and stopped at a place. There were people standing on both sides, black shoes spread out.
In a daze, a huge black object was carried to her side and fell to the ground, making a loud "clang" sound, raising dust, and the dust flew onto Xu Zhixi's embroidered shoes.
Through the hijab, she saw the base of the giant thing—a long black wooden box.
No, what kind of box is this? It's clearly a coffin.
A sharp male voice shouted loudly: "Bow down to heaven and earth——"
Xu Zhixi was stunned and didn't move. She didn't want to worship.
But suddenly an invisible force controlled her body, forcing her to lower her knees, kneel on the ground, and kowtow to the front.
"Two bows to the high hall——"
Immediately, Xu Zhixi was controlled to stand up and turn around again, but this time the force did not make her kneel down, but only made her bow.
"Husband and wife pay homage——"
Xu Zhixi was controlled to turn around again and bowed to the coffin.
"The ceremony is completed——"
After the last shout, the power controlling her disappeared, and she could straighten up.
But at this moment, a dark wind blew by, and then there was a strange and unpleasant laughter: "The Ghost King is getting married!"
There was chaos in the venue, and everyone else ran out crawling, leaving only the bride Xu Zhixi.
She also wanted to run, but her legs were out of control again and she couldn't move.
The gust of wind also lifted Xu Zhixi's hijab, allowing her to see her surroundings clearly.
There are red silk hanging all around here, and a 囍 character is posted in the center.
There was a tablet on the high hall that read "Honored Father Xu Anshan", and beside her, there was a dark coffin, and the person lying inside should be her groom tonight.
It is a wedding hall and a mourning hall.
The bright yellow candlelight was extinguished in an instant, and was replaced by a green will-o'-the-wisp, which was not unfamiliar, even very familiar, because she had just seen it in her dream.
Some papers blew from nowhere and piled up at her feet.
Xu Zhixi took a closer look and saw that they were all yellow, palm-sized round pieces of paper with the same specifications.
It's paper money.
Xu Zhixi realized.
This shouldn't be a bride price, right?
There was a "squeak" - the door behind her was also closed. Xu Zhixi clenched her fists and her breathing became a little short.
She tentatively shouted: "Is there a ghost?"
No one or ghost responded.
The green will-o'-the-wisp was burning brightly, puffing and puffing, as if it was whining, and paper money was scattered on the ground.
This will-o'-the-wisp had just appeared in her dream. Xu Zhixi had some guesses in her mind. She asked tentatively, "Is it you? Xu Xuan?"
In an instant, the black wooden coffin, which had no presence just now, erupted with a loud noise, the rivets fell off, and with a "bang", the coffin lid slid to the ground, kicking up paper money and flying dust.
The power to control her legs also disappeared, and Xu Zhixi collapsed on the ground. The heavy wedding dress was spread on the floor, and the headdress jingled.
"Ma'am, what's this posture?"
A pair of black cloud boots caught Xu Zhixi's sight, followed by a long red coat. She fluttered her eyelashes and looked up. Her eyes fell on the pale but magnificent face. A pair of dark eyes were looking at her. Staring at her, her beautiful thin lips seemed to be smiling.
Xu Zhixi's eyes widened: "Did you climb out of the coffin?"
