In the ghost world, the most dangerous thing is not the ghost bride.
Rather, it's the paper man.
Because it has no killing limit.
As for the Ghost Bride, as long as you don't smile at her, you can completely circumvent the danger.
Even though the Ghost Bride could lift the killing restriction at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, she could only kill one person a day and the Paper Man would be in a state of silence, so everyone else would be safest in the middle of the night instead.
If it wasn't for the fact that he knew that if he stayed in the ghost world for a long time he would be assimilated into the ghost world, Xia Le Tian would not have chosen to contact the Ghost Bride in such a hasty manner.
These thoughts passed by in a flash in his mind.
Xia Le Tian's face was grave as he tore the paper man towards both sides.
With a ''tearing'' sound, the once incomparably sturdy paper man was actually torn apart-
Tang GuoFei cried out in surprise, “This ...... this?”
In his impression, paper people were indestructible.
But how was the paper man now?
Xia Le Tian wasn't surprised in the slightest, his eyes calm.
His guess was right.
When the Ghost Bride lifted the restriction, all the paper people would lose their mobility and would be indistinguishable from the real paper people, so naturally, they could be destroyed.
Xia Le Tian greeted Tang GuoFei as he joined him in helping to shred the paper people, saying, “If we shred all these paper people, they shouldn't be able to kill anyone else tomorrow.”
Tang GuoFei's eyes lit up, he naturally knew what this represented.
The two quickly tore all of the nearby paper people all into pieces, the only pity was that there was no way to burn them to ashes, because the lighter wasn't on Xia Le Tian.
However, the paper people should not be able to revive again.
In that case, the safety of all of them increased greatly.
Immediately afterward, Xia Le Tian and Tang GuoFei passed through the vestibule to the hall room.
Inside the room.
The coffin was still placed in the center, but to Xia Le Tian's surprise, inside the coffin lay the ghost bride, wearing her red wedding dress, eyes closed like a corpse.
Xia Le Tian slowly approached with light footsteps.
The ghost bride is still unresponsive.
And beside her, there was a folded groom's suit, brand new, not the slightest hint that the clothes had been damaged.
Xia Le Tian couldn't help but frown.
Strange ......
He purposely returned to the haunted mansion for the purpose of fetching the groom's suit.
After all, the only possibility that the groom's clothes disappeared inexplicably is that the ghost bride took it back to the haunted mansion.
But what makes Xia Le Tian feel strange is that this groom's suit ...... is so new that it looks like it has never been worn, and it is folded neatly and neatly inside the coffin.
He remembered Qi Liu Hai female said, pretending to be a ghost bridegroom is a ghost bride a claw through the body, it is reasonable to say that the clothes should have been worn out, and covered with blood stains.
Could it be?
The Ghost Bride could make the clothes automatically return to their original state?
However, no matter what the reason was.
At least the purpose of his trip had been achieved.
Xia Le Tian bent down, took out the groom's clothes slowly, and finally hesitated for a short while before deciding to gently place the red cover on the Ghost Bride's head now-
Because this was a wonderful opportunity.
And the whole process, the ghost bride did not move a muscle.
Xia Le Tian didn't dare to breathe a single breath, signaling Tang GuoFei with his eyes to leave the area, and only dared to relax when the two of them ran to the vestibule.
Tang GuoFei scratched his head and asked, “What next?”
Xia Le Tian said, “Wait.”
Tang GuoFei said blankly, “Wait for what?”
Xia Le Tian said, “Don't forget, if we want to get out, we have to help the ghost bride fulfill her obsession so that she can successfully marry the ghost groom.”
Tang GuoFei said, “But there's no ghost groom at all right now?”
Xia Le Tian slightly raised the groom's suit in his hand, “We have this, when the time comes, I'll pretend to be the ghost groom-”
Tang GuoFei's eyes widened, “What the hell did you just say?!!!”
To pretend to be a ghost groom?!
“But if this doesn't work, won't you be--” Tang GuoFei didn't continue, always feeling that it was unlucky to say such words in such a place.
Xia Le Tian said helplessly, “This is the only way, no matter if it works or doesn't work, you always have to try it.”
“What about me, what do I do?” Tang GuoFei asked.
It couldn't be that all the dangers were for Old Three to do, while he himself was on the side just watching and doing nothing.
Xia Le Tian thought for a moment and said, “When the time comes, you just hide, improvise.”
Tang GuoFei was a bit angry: “No, can't have you do anything dangerous.” After saying that, he thought about it again and gritted his teeth, “You came up with this solution, I didn't do anything, why don't you just let me pretend to be the ghost groom.”
Xia Le Tian was very moved, and rejected Tang GuoFei's suggestion, “You can't, you can't run as fast as me.”
Tang GuoFei wanted to say something.
Xia Le Tian indifferently inserted a knife: “As long as I run fast, the ghost can't catch up with me, but if you pretend to be the ghost groom, you'll have to buckle in less than half an hour.”
Tang GuoFei had nothing to say, he was indeed the worst at long distance running, but he was still unwilling to let Xia Le Tian bear the entire danger alone, and retreated, “Then I'll quietly protect you when the time comes.”
Xia Le Tian smiled, “Good.”
He did not reject Tang GuoFei's good intentions.
--
The time was more than two o'clock in the latter half of the night.
A serious problem lay before them.
That was, their stomachs were signaling hunger from the long run.
Tang GuoFei said, “Let's go look for food?”
Xia Le Tian nodded.
At least they had to have the stamina to face tomorrow's crisis.
The two searched through many houses for half a day, and finally realized that not to mention food, there wasn't even a single piece of fruit, Tang GuoFei began to panic, if he was allowed to stay in this haunted place for three days, perhaps he would be lucky enough to get through it.
But if there was no water and food, he was afraid he wouldn't last a day.
Xia Le Tian stood still for a moment and thought, saying, “Don't panic yet, there's still one place we haven't gone.”
Tang GuoFei's eyes lit up, understanding where the place Xia Le Tian was referring to was.
The two left the haunted mansion, Tang GuoFei subconsciously glanced around and realized that the Qi Liu Hai woman was already nowhere to be found, and he didn't know where she had gone.
Following his memory, he came to the barbecue store, and when he stood in front of the store, Tang GuoFei's expression was more or less surprised, “Old Three, look,”
The street was silent and empty, the blue stone bricks on the road, and the old houses filled with the Republican era, all constituted what looked like an ancient painting rendered from the past, while the barbecue restaurant looked like an ink spot that appeared suddenly in the painting, which was extraordinarily strange, and even caused Tang GuoFei to feel a sense of disorientation.
But at least.
There would be food in here.
The two men carefully pushed open the door and found the store light switch by the light of their cell phones, and when the light illuminated the barbecue store, the two men's faces were a little ugly, especially Tang GuoFei even took a few steps backward, a little startled.
The interior of the barbecue store was messy, and there was a lot of blinding blood on the clean white floor.
As well as ...... several corpses.
These several corpses Xia Le Tian and the others were very familiar, it was the group of people who wanted to rob the lighter before.
I didn't expect them to still die in this place.
Tang GuoFei was so scared that he took a few steps backward for a while before slowing down, even though these people were indeed disgusting, but when they still died at the hands of ghosts, the bottom line of being born as a human being made him more or less sigh and feel sad.
The two couldn't bear to look at these scenes anymore, and quickly collected clean food and mineral water, and then put them in a bag, and when they were about to leave, when Tang GuoFei passed by one of the corpses, his expression was abruptly complicated, sighing, “I didn't expect him to be dead as well.”
And died a very miserable death.
There were wounds all over his body, while there was a large hole in his back, with broken internal organs and ribs faintly visible.
Xia Le Tian observed a glance, his expression a little ugly, “The wounds on his body look like they were made with a knife, but the ultimate cause of death is still because of the paper man.”
Tang GuoFei froze.
Xia Le Tian looked around and said, “The practitioner who attacked you before, most likely didn't die.”
That group of people, other than the middle-aged aunt as well as the Qi Liu Hai woman, and that practicing man, the rest of them all died at the barbecue restaurant, there was bound to be something fishy about this.
Tang GuoFei gritted his teeth and said, “Maybe it was that practicing man who stabbed the people with a knife, I felt at first glance that he wasn't a good person.”
Xia Le Tian instructed, “If you meet him again, you must be on guard.”
Tang GuoFei nodded.
The two of them carried the plastic bag and quickly left the place.
When they returned to the entrance of the haunted mansion, Tang GuoFei couldn't help but sigh, taking out a few slices of baked buns from the plastic pocket and placing them on the stone, hoping that the unaccounted for Qi Liu Hai woman would see these.
Xia Le Tian didn't say anything about this.
Instead, Tang GuoFei got a little weak under Xia Le Tian's gaze and explained, “I know she's quite a bad person, but she ......”
Xia Le Tian patted Tang GuoFei's shoulder, “There's no need to explain this to me, you found this food yourself, you have the right to distribute this.”
Tang GuoFei nodded, his expression filled with gratitude.
Afterwards.
The two of them found a place to eat in the haunted mansion, only as they ate, Tang GuoFei couldn't help but sigh, “I don't know how Zhang QiaoMing and the others are doing now?”
It was fine if they were able to escape this place.
But if they didn't manage to escape, wouldn't they be starving now?
After all, other than the barbecue store, there wasn't any food here at all.
Xia Le Tian said, “That's why we have to successfully resolve the matter of the Ghost Bride tomorrow night without any mistakes.”
Tang GuoFei nodded with a heavy heart.
After eating, Xia Le Tian said, “Take a nap, I'll wake you up in three hours and then switch to your night watch.”
Tang GuoFei didn't push back and grabbed some sleep.
Time gradually passed, three hours had arrived, Xia Le Tian woke Tang GuoFei, “Remember to never fall asleep.”
Tang GuoFei nodded in a daze, yawning uncontrollably, “I know.”
Another three hours time passed, Tang GuoFei woke up Xia Le Tian, the two of them took turns resting and recovering their spirit in this way, finally making it to more than eight in the morning.
“Why is the sky still dark?” Tang GuoFei looked at his watch with a confused expression.
No stars or moon could be seen in the dark sky, and only white lanterns illuminated this ghost world, morose and gloomy.
Xia Le Tian said, “Let's go, go see the ghost bride.”
But before that, the two of them purposely checked the paper people, they were still quiet and motionless, presenting fragments piled up there, as for those sleeping with a wry smile on their faces, they still didn't wake up.
The fact that the paper people didn't come back to life made Tang GuoFei very excited, which meant that they didn't need to worry about the paper people any more, and only needed to beware of that ghost bride.
The two came to the hall room and carefully glanced at the coffin.
The ghost bride in the big red coffin was still asleep and motionless.
Tang GuoFei was a bit flustered, tugging Xia Le Tian out, waiting for the two of them to be farther away from the ghost bride before Tang GuoFei anxiously said, “What to do? The Ghost Bride didn't wake up at all.”
Xia Le Tian frowned.
There were once two people who wore wedding clothes and pretended to be a ghost groom to marry the ghost bride, although both ended up being killed by the ghost bride.
But at that time, the ghost bride was awake.
Perhaps, the problem was likely to be in the red head, and Xia Le Tian didn't know whether the ghost bride slumbering was considered a good thing or a bad thing.
He decided to wait and see for the time being, to see if the Ghost Bride would wake up at 12 midnight.
Tang GuoFei was at a loss and could only follow Xia Le Tian's advice.
The two of them ate the rest of yesterday's meal and then continued to rest, waiting for the night to come at ease.
Time slowly passed.
Until it was almost approaching 12 midnight, the white fog gradually emerged ...
