Chapter 7: The betrothal gifts are here; the newlyweds may take them themselves.
die?
As soon as this strange yet familiar word appeared, someone screamed.
She's the girl in that couple.
She had just fallen and hadn't been helped up by her boyfriend yet. Now, being closest to the bride, she hadn't made any move, but her fingers were starting to swell rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, my arms, body, and head began to swell several times their normal size, as if they were being inflated.
"Lily!"
The boy in the couple hurriedly shouted, but before he could finish speaking, his girlfriend burst like a balloon.
Fresh blood and internal organs suddenly splattered onto the boy's face.
His expression first went blank, then fear appeared, and finally he screamed.
The massacre is not over yet.
The young man who tried to push the door open also began to swell, and in the blink of an eye, he burst open.
Blood was splattered on the door and the floor, and pieces of internal organs were everywhere, creating a strong visual impact.
The stench of blood filled the air, mingling with the existing smells in the room, making people feel nauseous.
Many people's faces turned grim, and some even took out their phones to make calls, but before they could succeed, the bride spotted them.
Then, just like the previous two people, he burst into a blood mist like a balloon.
Chen Fu, standing in the corner, calmly observed everything.
He had been observing ever since the bride uttered the words "we're all going to die."
From the bride's perspective,
The girl was closest, so her death would serve as a warning to others.
That young man also wanted to eliminate it; if he were allowed to open the door, everyone would run away.
The same applies to the person making the call.
Chen Fu calmly analyzed the situation and did not feel any fear despite the deaths of three people.
He had faced the vengeful spirit of a water ghost before and knew that in this situation, fear would be of no use whatsoever.
A small square appeared before his eyes, and Chen Fu quietly took out the Great Sage's hair.
If the bride attacks him, he will throw the hair without hesitation!
Through the deaths of the three people, Chen Fu not only figured out the bride's attack pattern, but also learned about her attack methods.
That is to see with your eyes!
Once the bride sets her sights on you, your body will start to swell.
"What do we do! We can't escape!"
The young people shouted, the fear of their companion's death leaving them frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
"I kill you!"
The boy, his eyes red, rushed toward the bride, having broken free from his turmoil.
His girlfriend is timid but very gentle and obedient to him.
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have forced myself to come to the ghost marriage venue with him.
But now?
died!
Anger surged through the boy's chest like a flood bursting through a dam.
He rushed toward the bride like lightning, knocking her down.
The body made a dull thud against the ground, and a shadow detached from behind the bride, floating in the air.
She was a tall woman wearing a blood-red wedding dress and a red veil.
She lowered her eyes to look at the boy, the crimson light in her eyes piercing him like a sharp sword.
The next moment, the boy's body began to swell, and a few seconds later, he went to find his girlfriend.
Just as I deduced, the cadaver was possessed and brought back to life... Chen Fu thought to himself, and began to scan his surroundings. Soon, his eyes lit up.
The groom is still floating beside him, isn't he? This ghost is clearly imprisoned, otherwise it wouldn't have thanked the emcee. Perhaps it knows something!
"Hey! Do you know how to get rid of her?" Chen Fu shouted at the groom, his voice immediately attracting everyone's attention.
The groom had no intention of dealing with this group, shaking his head: "Eliminate them? Impossible."
He had been imprisoned for several days and tried countless methods, but he couldn't kill the bride at all.
"However, there are two things she cares about, and if you can find them, it might be helpful."
After saying that, the groom shook his head again: "We can't get out of here, how are we supposed to look for them?"
Chen Fu immediately grasped the key point: "What is it? Tell me!"
As the two continued their conversation, the bride continued her massacre.
Two of the young people who had been filled with hope upon hearing the sound burst into laughter when they were stared at.
The others were covered in blood, some with severed limbs and internal organs still attached. Terrified, they dared not think any further, pushing and shoving each other to shrink back, shouting for the bride to leave.
Chen Fu took a breath.
There were twelve tourists participating in the ghost marriage themed event.
He and Song Shuangwei, as a couple, entered the west wing, while the eight young people entered the east wing.
Within five minutes of the bride's appearance, six people had already died.
Including the comatose master of ceremonies and the wedding attendant, nine people survived.
But at the speed at which the bride is killing people, if this continues, she will soon be targeted.
Seeing that the groom remained silent, Chen Fu released Song Shuangwei's hand, took a few steps forward, and kept pressing him for an answer: "Speak!"
"A pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, a pair of embroidered shoes—she valued these two items very much."
The groom replied that he still did not believe the tourists could resolve the matter.
If only I were still alive, I could use the talismans the bureau gave me to deal with her.
The groom thought silently, a wave of sorrow washing over him.
After all the tourists died, it was his turn.
Just as the groom was immersed in his low spirits, he saw the boy in front of him and took out a pair of bracelets.
"How could you have...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Chen Fu shout at the remaining young men, "Where are the embroidered shoes you got?"
Ever since he saw those blood-red eyes in the west wing, Chen Fu had been keeping a close eye on them. He thought that even if the dragon and phoenix bracelets were props provided by the amusement park, they must still be useful, so he kept them by his side.
Unexpectedly, it was something the bride had her eye on.
"You're just a ghost, and you actually think you're the bride? You even want a betrothal gift..." Chen Fu's eyes were fixed on the young men.
A young man with a face covered in blood shouted, "It's on the ground. Shang Cheng just got it."
Shang Cheng was the young man who took photos with his phone and was the first to push open the door.
Chen Fu immediately looked over and indeed found a pair of embroidered shoes stained with blood on the ground.
He was about to run over and pick it up when someone beat him to it.
Song Shuangwei, who hadn't spoken since the incident began, took long strides and rushed to the embroidered shoes in half a second. She bent down, reached out, and then flung the shoes at Chen Fu.
As she moved, Song Shuang pulled up the sleeve of her sun-protective clothing, revealing a small section of her bracelet. Her expression became tense. She glanced at Chen Fu, and when she realized he hadn't noticed, she immediately pulled the sleeve down.
Chen Fu's attention was now entirely focused on the bride.
In just a short while, three more people died.
Even though the master of ceremonies and the two wedding attendants had fainted, they could not escape the clutches of the murderer.
The entire hall, from the floor to the walls, was now covered in crimson bloodstains. Many of the paper figures of the guests were also stained, sitting there silently, creating an eerie and terrifying scene.
Above them floated a bride dressed in a red wedding gown and wearing a red veil, surveying everyone with her blood-red eyes.
She had initially looked over because of Song Shuangwei's actions, but immediately shifted her gaze after Chen Fu received the embroidered shoes.
You ruined my long-awaited wedding and now you've taken away the betrothal gifts! This is outrageous!
The bride let out a sharp shriek, and a dense black aura of resentment erupted from her body like a tidal wave, covering her festive red dress.
She stopped looking and, carrying a chilling wind and the stench of blood, rushed straight towards Chen Fu's location, moving so fast that she left a series of afterimages.
She wanted to make this person experience a death a hundred times more painful than bursting!
A sudden gust of cold wind swept away Chen Fu's bangs, revealing his fair and smooth forehead.
A dark shadow rapidly expanded in his pupils.
It was completely unstoppable, like a dump truck crashing into it.
On the brink of life and death, Chen Fu did not retreat. Instead, he faced the bride and smashed the two items in his hands hard.
You want a betrothal gift? I'll give it to you right now!
After throwing things away, Chen Fu didn't stop.
He imitated the emcee's tone and shouted at the bride:
"The betrothal gifts are here; the newlyweds may collect them!"
The bride abruptly stopped one meter away from Chen Fu, going from extremely fast to extremely still, defying any logic of motion.
But she actually did it, and even stretched out her nail-painted, delicate fingers to hold the two items in her hands.
The churning resentment around her began to show obvious signs of disorder, churning like boiling water, clearly indicating that the bride was not at peace.
Chen Fu slowly exhaled. Just now, he had almost thrown the hair in his other hand away.
Fortunately, the bride was temporarily calmed down.
His actions and words, though seemingly absurd, were all based on the reasoning behind the entire ghost marriage.
The reason is...
