Chapter 15 Scapegoats and Death

Chapter 15 Scapegoats and Death

Apr 08, 2025

  The ghost groom, in order to be able to better impersonate the dead without being detected, applied a thick white powder on his face, as well as a reddish tint, by which he created a ghostly appearance.

  But at the same time, it also covered up his original appearance.

  Of course, he did this merely to better impersonate the dead.

  But by mistake, the reason why the Ghost Bride didn't kill anyone right away was because she wasn't sure if this ghost groom in front of her was the one she loved or not.

  This was also the reason why the Ghost Bride had been staring at the other person for a long time before she finally suddenly stormed out.

  As a matter of fact, that person was really close to succeeding in his mission.

  It was just a pity that it was still a lost cause.

  Even though the Ghost Bride had become a ghost, perhaps losing her memories of her life, perhaps losing the ability to think in a basic way, she would definitely be able to recognize whether or not that person was the one she loved.

  Because her obsession was that person.

  So, there is still only one way.

  That was to pretend to be the groom to fulfill the ghost bride's obsession.

  But first, he can't let the Ghost Bride see his face, because no matter what he uses to cover his face, he will also be recognized by the Ghost Bride.

  The red cover, on the other hand, allows the ghost bride to not see her face.

  Of course, if the Ghost Bride wanted to take off the red head during the period, he could also try to prevent the Ghost Bride from taking it off, after all, the red head was special to the Ghost Bride, it was sewn out by her with blood and tears, stitch by stitch.

  Xia Le Tian took a deep breath, took out the red head and stuffed it into his arms, then greeted Tang GuoFei and went to look for the Ghost Bride together.

  Tang GuoFei shivered at the sound of this, “ Old Three, it's too late for us to avoid her now, why are you still thinking of going up to her?”

  Xia Le Tian: “Because I thought of a way to end this.”

  Tang GuoFei continued to shiver, “Then, then how certain are you?”

  Xia Le Tian thought for a moment, “Eight points.”

  Tang GuoFei's eyes lit up and he stopped shivering, urging, “ Old Three, what are you still standing around for, let's hurry to find the Ghost Bride!”

  Xia Le Tian: “......”

  OK.

  --

  Zhang QiaoMing and the other three chose a direction to run forward.

  They hoped to escape this horrible place as soon as possible, and didn't want to stay a moment longer!

  A thick white fog gradually emerged around them, making the surrounding scenery hazy and adding eeriness to this weird town.

  A few people are even creepy, running speed even drop, afraid of not paying attention to bump into the bride ghost, really if that happens, I'm afraid that life will be over.

  Zhang QiaoMing walked while sighing, “I really don't understand why Old Three and Old Five still stay in the haunted mansion, sooner or later that bridal ghost will have to go back to the mansion, just in case ......” said here, and couldn't help but sigh heavily again.

  Old Four said beside him, “Forget it, let's escape as early as possible, then we can ask a ghost hunting master to help us get Old Three and the others out.”

  Zhang QiaoMing nodded, “That's true, then let's hurry up and go, the sooner we escape, it might make Old Three and the others face one less point of danger.”

  Old Four and the other housemate nodded.

  In the fog, after a few people had walked for a while, Zhang QiaoMing suddenly pointed at a dark shadow in front of him and said, “Look there!”

  The remaining few people immediately looked over, revealing expressions of surprise and fear.

  “What is that?”

  “Is it a ghost bride? Or a paper man?”

  “Shall we head back?” Old Four couldn't help but say.

  Zhang QiaoMing's face was a bit ugly, “Going back will probably have a higher probability of running into the bride ghost.”

  Old Four: “But that black shadow in front of us might be-”

  Zhang QiaoMing thought grimly, “Don't be afraid, if it's really a paper man up ahead, we still have a lighter.”

  Old Four and the others then remembered the lighter.

  Several people agreed that if they encountered a paper man, they would team up to control it and burn it to death.

  But when they carefully walked there, they finally saw clearly what that mass of black shadow was.

  “Isn t this ...... that auntie?” Old Four said in astonishment.

  That mass of black shadow was half kneeling on the ground and motionless, with its head hanging down they couldn't see its face at all, but they remembered the style of clothes that big mom wore.

  Zhang QiaoMing boldly moved over, then couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

  Middle-aged aunt back clothes exploded, revealing the inside of the miserable hole, vaguely visible inside the internal organs.

  And those bits and pieces on the ground, 80% were her internal organs and flesh.

  Several other people also saw this scene.

  In the white mist, several people's faces were pale with fear.

  “She, she's dead-!!!”

  It was the first time they had seen a dead person, and it was also a dead person who had been killed by a ghost.

  This death was simply miserable.

  This undoubtedly added a few points of fear to their hearts.

  “Then, do we still have to keep going forward?” Old Four swallowed hard, his hands and feet were still cold to this day, and

  Zhang QiaoMing was also a bit hesitant, “Let's walk back, maybe there are ghosts ahead.”

  The others hurriedly nodded their heads and agreed. But just as they were about to turn around and walk away, they came face to face with a man in a red wedding suit running wildly, the white powder applied to his face was already mottled by sweat stains, and he looked even more horrible than the face of the ghost bride.

  They could see clearly that this man was the ghost groom who had pretended to be a dead man.

  I didn't expect him to be alive.

  But immediately afterward, they looked horrified and screamed in terror.

  It was because that ghost bride - wearing a red wedding dress - floated over with a wry smile on her face.

  “Run!!!” Zhang QiaoMing shouted hoarsely.

  This voice instantly pulled back the sanity of the few people who had been scared away by the ghost, and they busily followed Zhang QiaoMing to run forward.

  When the ghost groom saw those few people, his original terrified and nervous expression suddenly changed, and he quickly increased his speed to run forward, as if he wanted to overtake Zhang QiaoMing and the others.

  In the white mist, in the corner, a woman covered her mouth, her face full of madness and hatred.

  Until she heard the messy footsteps, her eyes suddenly released a light, and she twisted her limbs to crawl out, wanting to make a call for help.

  But the few people who ran over were filled with fear, like something horrible was chasing after them.

  The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly looked into the distance, and there seemed to be red shadows approaching in the white mist.

  -It was the Bride Ghost!!!

  The woman stared desperately backward, huddled in a corner, and kept muttering in her mind, “Don't ever find me, don't ever find me.”

The men were too terrified and scared to notice the woman in the corner, instead they desperately ran forward and soon disappeared into the white mist.

The woman tried harder and harder to curl up her limbs, staring dead away with terrified eyes.

Soon.

The red figure also drew closer.

The woman's eyes were wide and filled with fear.

Is that ...... a male ghost wearing a red wedding dress?

  There were actually other ghosts here besides the paper man and the bride ghost?

The ghost groom, even though he was being chased by the bride ghost, also similarly preserved a trace of sanity, he instantly discovered the woman in the corner, although he had never seen this woman, he couldn't help but be ecstatic at the moment, he didn't think that the heavens were helping him!

Although it was just a hurried glance, he could tell that this woman had problems with her limbs.

He twisted his head to look at the bride ghost, and mentally calculated the time available to him.

Three seconds.

He only had three seconds to accomplish this.

For this reason.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the life-saving talisman again.

This was his only chance to get rid of the bride ghost, and it was worth paying the talisman for it.

He affixed the talisman to his body, then increased his speed and ran towards the woman.

The whole process took almost a second.

The woman screamed with fear, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't stop the ghost groom from quickly dragging her out and finally flinging her to the feet of the ghost bride.

  Originally floating over the ghost bride stopped in place, she lowered her head and stared straight at the woman with bangs.

Qi Liu Hai female screamed in fear, desperately crawling forward with her twisted limbs, trying to escape from the Ghost Bride.

The Ghost Bridegroom's face revealed ecstasy.

The method had worked.

As for that woman, she could only be blamed for her bad luck.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran forward, but within a few steps, a miserable, dry and thin hand passed through his body, revealing itself from the front end.

  The ghost groom still had a lingering smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with fear and shock.

  How did--

  How did this happen?

  A herky-jerky sound came out of his mouth, and he looked down at the dismal hand slowly retracting, seemingly taking away something from his body, and in that moment, he felt as if he had lost something.

  The ghost groom's mouth overflowed with blood, dripping down, and he stiffened, slowly turning around with his last bit of strength, finally figuring out what the female ghost had taken.

  That was - that was his heart.

  The female ghost still had a wry smile on her face, and her sharp nails slowly pinched the heart tightly as she said ruefully, “You're not he-”

  The ghost groom's eyes widened slightly.

  He finally-finally-understood why the Ghost Bride didn't kill that woman, but herself.

  Because, because ......

  Himself was not the real groom.

  He swallowed his breath unwillingly and collapsed on the ground, never moving again.

  The female ghost looked straight at the Qi Liu Hai female who kept crawling forward, and slowly disappeared into the white fog.

  And along with it, there was the wedding dress worn on the ghost groom.

  --

  On the road, Xia Le Tian and Tang GuoFei began to search for the ghost bride. The silent road seemed to be swarming with many thick fogs, churning and swirling, which seemed to symbolize the female ghost's monstrous anger at the moment.

  A chilly aura permeated the streets.

  Tang GuoFei winced and couldn't help but approach Xia Le Tian, whispering, “This fog seems to be getting bigger and bigger?”

  Xia Le Tian said worriedly, “That's why we must find the Ghost Bride as soon as possible.”

  This fog gave him a very bad feeling.

  He even had a feeling that the more white fog he inhaled, the more his entire body seemed to merge with it.

  After walking for a short while, Xia Le Tian pulled Tang GuoFei back and signaled with his eyes to be careful.

  Tang GuoFei had the intention to ask Xia Le Tian what he had discovered, but out of survival instinct, he kept his mouth tightly shut and followed Xia Le Tian closer.

  Visibility was too low in the dense fog;

  When they got closer, Tang GuoFei didn't hold back an intake of breath.

  It was a body lying on its back, although the face couldn't be seen, but through the clothes, Tang GuoFei instantly recognized who this was, “Isn't this that middle-aged older woman?”

  I didn't expect her to be killed by the paper man.

  Xia Le Tian's attention, however, was on the corpse's clothes, he signaled Tang GuoFei, “Look here.”

  Tang GuoFei hesitated, “ This is ...... footprints?”

  The footprints on it were stained with blood, and they didn't look large in size.

  Like - a woman's.

  Tang GuoFei vaguely guessed, “It couldn't be that woman's kick, right?”

  Xia Le Tian shook his head, “Who knows, let's keep walking.”

  In this crisis-ridden ghost world, they still had more important things to do.

  The two continued to walk forward, not long before they vaguely heard low cries, wait until they cautiously walked over, only then in this white fog to see the Qi Liu Hai female who was covered in injuries.

  Qi Liu Hai female's injuries are extremely serious, her legs seem to be deliberately broken, crooked, chilling, especially her back, there seems to be two bowl-sized wounds, good thing is not deep, has not hurt the internal organs.

  The Qi Liu Hai woman naturally also noticed the two figures in the white mist, and was so frightened that she hastily backed away, trying to curl herself up into a small pile.

  She was afraid that these two people would also use herself as a scapegoat!

  “Are you alright?” Tang GuoFei carefully leaned over, his face filled with concern and sympathy.

  The Qi Liu Hai woman couldn't help but tremble, her originally taut sanity collapsing under Tang GuoFei's concerned tone, she couldn't help but cry out, her heart full of aggression and hatred.

  Why did everyone have to use themselves as scapegoats?!

  Why?!!
