Chapter 35: Yin Yuan (End)
At first, Su Yan heard a sedan bearer walking in front of her say cautiously, "I feel like there's some movement inside the sedan."
However, when the sedan chair stopped and the curtain was lifted, the bride was still in the same posture as when she had just entered, as if everything was just an illusion of the sedan bearer.
However, because of these things, the sedan bearers' speed was obviously much faster than before, as if they couldn't wait to return to the starting point in the next second, and they almost left behind Granny Agu who was originally following them.
When I returned to the original position, I happened to meet Song Yanchi and Brother Chen coming out. The coffin and paper man had already been moved to the door.
This time, it was Song Yanchi who volunteered to help the bride down from the sedan chair.
Brother Chen looked at the dozens of paper figures, and the more he looked, the more he felt that some of them looked like his lost men. He felt very strange in his heart, but in the end, thinking of the rewards, he said nothing. He greeted the village chief who came over after settling his wife down with a normal expression.
After the wedding ceremony, the bodies of the bride and groom were put back into the coffin.
When the coffin was about to be closed, Grandma Agu found that the female corpse seemed to move, but at that moment it seemed to be just her illusion.
Doubts arose in her heart, and she subconsciously reached out to lift the other person's veil to confirm. However, the female corpse, who had been quiet before, suddenly stretched out her hand like lightning, and her wrist was grabbed!
Granny Agu was obviously startled for a moment, then she reacted and for the first time showed fear on her face, her already wrinkled face becoming even more hideous.
Fu Mingming was still on her arm, how could Sun Peipei touch her? !
Since she drew the talisman, Sun Peipei obviously couldn't get close to her and her brother and sister-in-law. She used this to temporarily suppress the other party, so Granny Agu was very confident in this talisman. Now that this happened, she was a little confused for a while, and with her other hand, she quickly threw all the talismans she had on her into the coffin. However, the talisman paper that could temporarily block ghosts before was now just like the most ordinary paper.
However, the female ghost in the coffin did not give her time to think. If the coffin was not only wide enough for an arm, she would have been dragged in directly. Without the talisman, she would have been just an ordinary old woman facing the female ghost.
And for some reason, when the other party grabbed her wrist, she seemed to lose all her strength and could only say in a hoarse voice: "Save, save me..."
Others also realized that Grandma Agu was captured by the female ghost.
Because of the ghost girl’s performance before, everyone knew that no one could deal with her except her. Now they would not rush forward to die easily. Even the village chief could only watch anxiously from the side.
Because of this sudden situation, the coffin naturally could not be closed.
In the chaos, someone shouted, "Cut off her arms and pull her out. This is the last step..."
The last sentence made the village chief's eyes change. He gritted his teeth and asked someone to bring an axe forward.
Granny Agu finally heard footsteps behind her. When she turned around, she found that a villager had already run towards her with an axe in hand. She originally thought that the other party was going to chop off the ghost girl's arm, but she didn't expect that the axe was coming straight towards her. Her pupils shrank suddenly: "You..."
But before she could finish her words, the axe had already fallen in the next second. As the axe tip collided with the axe, severe pain came from Granny Agu's arm, causing her to scream. I don't know if it was because of her inexperience or because the axe was not sharp, but she couldn't even cut it in the first blow, leaving only the white bones exposed.
It was not until the second blow of the axe that the arm was completely chopped off from the elbow.
The female ghost in the coffin didn't seem to react, and the broken arm was directly pulled in by her, but at the same time, the coffin that was originally stuck was directly closed.
Upon seeing this, the village chief quickly called on the villagers to carry the two coffins and throw them into the pit that had been dug next to the ancestral grave.
At this time, the village chief had time to check on Grandma Agu. He did not blame the villagers who were shaking with the axe. After all, the ghost girl's body was basically in the coffin and it was not easy to chop. Even if he was in charge, he did not have the courage to chop Sun Peipei's arm.
Granny Agu had already fallen to the ground, covering her arm with her hands. Her face was distorted like a crumpled rag. Even though she tried hard to cover the broken arm, she could not stop the blood from gushing out from between her fingers, soaking the cloth.
Because of the severe pain, the world in front of her eyes was almost blurred, and the fish eyes were stained blood red due to congestion. Although she was very angry about her arm being chopped off, and even thought about how to retaliate against the villager in her mind, it was obvious that there were more important things waiting for her at the moment.
Her arm couldn't be broken in vain.
Granny Agu motioned to the village chief to help her up, and she followed with all her might, until she saw with her own eyes the coffin being pushed into the pit. Many people followed behind her, and through the heavy coffin, she could still hear shrill screams coming from inside, but they soon became weaker.
Even without opening the coffin, Granny Agu could already guess what was happening inside the coffin. She was afraid that the female ghost would have already turned a pool of blood.
Although he lost an arm, it was enough as long as Sun Peipei was eliminated.
Grandma Agu thought so and winked at the village chief, who immediately announced that the female ghost had been suppressed and everyone didn't need to worry anymore.
The villagers' faces finally revealed genuine joy, and Zhou Lian, who was among them, couldn't hide his excitement either.
The copy is finally coming to an end.
This copy made Zhou Lian, who had been at ease before, feel exhausted for the first time. Although he lost Adao and was a little regretful that he was unable to deal with Song Yanchi, he finally dealt with Qiao Yuan.
Su Yan had survived the test by holding on to his thighs, and lived longer than he expected. He could consider developing her into a companion and keeping her by his side. Although she was definitely not as useful as A Dao, she was easier to deceive...
Thinking of this, Zhou Lian felt more relaxed, and even planned to meet Su Yan offline after leaving the dungeon. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't slept with a female college student for a long time. After all, he was the one who brought her out of the dungeon, so it wouldn't be too much to ask for a little reward, right?
Zhou Lian glanced at Su Yan, but found that the other person's face was hard to hide the tension, and he even looked around. He couldn't help but chuckled: "Your expression... Relax, the mission is already..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized the problem.
Wait, why didn’t the task completion notification sound?
According to his previous experience in the copy, after the task is completed, the system prompt will sound, and then everyone will be teleported out of the copy one by one. Is there something wrong with the system?
Thinking of this, Zhou Lian hurriedly called the system in his heart, but he only got a reply that "the task is not completed".
Mission not completed?
How is that possible?
Zhou Lian looked at the relaxed smiling faces of the villagers around him and questioned the system in his heart: "They are obviously very satisfied with this wedding, are they pretending to smile now?"
However, the system still answered him with a cold voice: [The mission is not completed, and you cannot leave the copy.]
What happened...
Zhou Lian's previous joy was gone, his eyes widened as he wondered what was going on.
Su Yan had already learned from Qiao Yuan that she had to fulfill the wishes of the female ghost and the villagers. When the female ghost was about to be destroyed, Su Yan also wanted to step forward to stop the villagers, but because of her inconvenient legs and feet, the villagers had already dealt with the female ghost as soon as she walked over.
The mission is going to fail.
She knew that she should be disheartened because of the mission failure, but for some reason, Su Yan was more worried about where Qiao Yuan had gone than the mission. Although she knew that she didn't need to worry about Qiao Yuan, she still hadn't shown up until now...
The village chief was already supporting Granny Agu, anxiously signaling a few villagers to stay and fill the soil, while he led the others towards home to bandage the wound first. Granny Agu was already pale and looked shaky.
At this moment, the villagers suddenly broke into a commotion, and the sound also drew Zhou Lian's attention back.
The moment he turned back, Zhou Lian was completely stunned.
A villager who was originally saying something with a relaxed look on his face suddenly fell to the ground with his broken limbs flying everywhere. The expression on his face was still frozen at that moment with a smile on the corner of his lips. Blood splattered on the villagers standing next to him. The villagers next to him were still standing there stupidly without reacting, but the next second they followed in his footsteps.
The person who did all this was a figure wearing the same red wedding dress. She was not wearing a veil, so Zhou Lian was able to see the whites of her eyes.
Zhou Lian initially thought he had seen it wrong, but the screams from the villagers made him realize that he was not seeing things.
The village chief naturally noticed this, and he couldn't hide his surprise, shouting out the common thoughts of many people: "How could you..."
Although Granny Agu's vision was blurred due to the pain, she was also shocked when she sensed the familiar, hard-to-disguise evil spirit aura. Her eyes widened as if they were about to fall out of their sockets in the next second, and she muttered to herself, "Impossible..."
Forget about the ancient books, but this method was clearly passed down from her ancestors. How could her ancestors lie to her? !
However, the evil ghost that should have been lying in the coffin actually appeared here, and its aura seemed to be stronger than before.
What is going on? !
She subconsciously wanted to turn her head to check the situation over at the coffin.
However, before she could turn her head, the red figure appeared in front of them in an instant, and the village chief who was originally supporting her suddenly withdrew his hands, causing Grandma Agu to fall to the ground.
Lying on the ground, she could only vaguely see the female ghost slowly pulling her hand back from the village chief's chest.
"It turns out that the heart is not black." She heard the hoarse voice of the female ghost, but it was no longer gloomy as before, but instead revealed a lightness.
The tone reminded her of the first time she saw Sun Peipei.
At that time, Sun Peipei was young and lively, and her tone of voice was habitually rising. She was very satisfied with the other party's appearance and voice. In addition, she had no family, so she didn't have to worry about anyone looking for Sun Peipei, so she chose the other party. However, the old man never thought that his nephew would be a traitor and choose to stand on Sun Peipei's side. But Li Yaozu's choice was obviously wrong. Even if Sun Peipei turned into a ghost, she was no match for her.
That's what she originally thought.
The village chief's body fell to the ground with a bang, landing beside her. A few screams came out of his throat. There was a wound as big as a fist on his chest, and his slowly beating heart could be seen from inside. However, his expression was already gray, and anyone could see that he was just barely alive. His eyes were staring at the female ghost in front of him, full of fear and resentment.
Sun Peipei smiled, and before the other person closed his eyes, he said, "The look in your eyes right now is the same as your dead wife's."
Before entering the house, she also killed the man. The man who always mocked her for having lost her parents so early and had discussed with the village chief whether to marry her off early so that Li Yaozu would not have any hope, was still cursing her before he died, but soon burst into tears because of the torture.
After hearing the ghost girl's words, the village chief realized that his wife was dead and died with hatred.
Grandma Agu had no time to pay attention to her brother who fell to the ground. She didn't particularly value family ties, especially when faced with life and death, so she chose to run away.
As long as she could get back to her house, she could still find a way...
She wanted to run in the opposite direction while the ghost girl was talking to the village chief, but she fell to the ground after just a few steps because she couldn't see the road clearly. Without time to stand up, Granny Agu could only crawl forward with her hands and feet. The wound of her broken arm, which had not stopped bleeding, was rubbing against the ground. The wound was bloody and mixed with dust, and the pain was unbearable, which made her sweat again.
But Grandma Agu didn't dare to stop.
Until she was picked up.
When faced with the culprit who caused her death, she did not kill him with one blow like she did with others .
The moment the female ghost appeared, Brother Chen and some timid villagers were frightened to death. Some wanted to run, but their way was blocked by paper figures that appeared from nowhere, and they could not leave. Among them were Zhou Lian and others.
Su Yan didn't dare to run at all. She couldn't stand such a bloody scene and closed her eyes early. Even Zhou Lian, who was watching all this, turned pale, realizing that what the female ghost had done to A Dao before was actually quite mild.
When he wanted to divert his attention and look at the people around him, he found that Song Yanchi was nowhere to be seen.
Did he escape successfully?
When the crowd was running in the opposite direction, Song Yanchi hesitated for a moment, and finally ran towards the pit.
He knew Qiao Yuan was still in the coffin.
The coffin was closed for more than ten minutes, and Qiao Yuan still had a chance to survive.
Song Yanchi didn't like to owe favors to others. He knew that Qiao Yuan's help was indispensable to the completion of the mission. Su Yan was right. The other party had indeed been putting himself in danger and protecting them. He didn't know how the other party would escape from the coffin.
Although I know that the other party has most likely already thought of a way out and asked the ghost for help, it is a ghost after all, and who knows whether it will breach the contract.
However, when Song Yanchi reached the bottom of the pit, he found that there were already two paper figures. They looked like the villagers who had died before. The coffin lid had been opened, and Qiao Yuan, who had opened the veil, was walking out with the help of a paper figure, and threw the severed arm in his hand far away.
It seems that Qiao Yuan and the ghost have indeed reached a cooperation, otherwise the paper man would not come to help, and Sun Peipei did not breach the contract. Qiao Yuan's trust was not misplaced...
As soon as this thought flashed through Song Yanchi's mind, he saw Qiao Yuan walk out of the coffin and start to take off her wedding dress.
There was talisman paper embroidered on the inside of the wedding dress, which was tainted with the scent of evil spirits. That was why it was hidden from Grandma Agu.
She was originally wearing it on the outside, so after taking it off, her original clothes were exposed, and there were a few tools scattered on the ground -
Hammers, mini hammers, and even crowbars.
They are all good tools for breaking into coffins.
No wonder he felt that Qiao Yuan was heavier than before, it turned out to be the weight of life.
He was wrong. Qiao Yuan had not thought of a way out, he had built two roads.
Qiao Yuan also noticed Song Yanchi's gaze and smiled slightly: "I took some from the villagers temporarily, just in case."
Song Yanchi: "..."
It turns out that "备" does not mean "preparation" but "equipment".
Qiao Yuan thought of something and looked at Song Yanchi in confusion: "Why are you here?"
Could he have fallen into the pit while running away?
Song Yanchi didn't want to admit that his rush over was useless, so he just snorted coldly: "Nothing."
If he knew what Joe was thinking, he would probably admit it outright.
Qiao Yuan could tell that Song Yanchi was lying, but he was too lazy to explore the reason behind it and just let out a long sigh of relief.
According to her plan at the time, she dressed up as a ghost and made the villagers think that they had fulfilled their wish by eliminating the female ghost. Then the female ghost appeared shortly afterwards and fulfilled her wish.
However, Qiao Yuan did not completely believe in the female ghost. She chose the right time to have Grandma Agu's arm cut off, just to make the female ghost act according to her plan before she lost control. Even the appearance of the village chief's wife was part of her plan.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly according to her plan.
Song Yanchi climbed up the pit first, and when he turned around, he found that Qiao Yuan was sent up directly by the paper man.
Zhou Lian was the first to notice Qiao Yuan when she showed up. He was dumbfounded: "Qiao Yuan?!"
Isn't Qiao Yuan dead?!
His first reaction was that Qiao Yuan had also turned into a paper man, otherwise how could he get along so happily with the two paper men around him? However, when he was about to burn the paper men, he didn't seem to notice the other person's figure.
Su Yan, who was standing beside him, suddenly opened her eyes after hearing Zhou Lian calling Qiao Yuan's name, and then stumbled forward with a look of joy on her face: "Miss Qiao, so you are here!"
No wonder she hadn’t found the other person before, it turned out that the other person had always been by her side.
Zhou Lian: “…”
He didn't know if Su Yan was provoked and went crazy, but she just walked straight towards Qiao Yuan.
But when he saw Song Yanchi standing next to Qiao Yuan, Zhou Lian finally realized that something was wrong. After all, it was impossible for Song Yanchi to not be able to tell the real thing from the fake.
The good news is that Song Yanchi just died for some unknown reason, the bad news is...
Just then, a paper man picked up a wedding dress from the bottom of the pit and handed it to Qiao Yuan, as if asking her if she wanted more. Qiao Yuan took it, wiped the blood off her hands, and then returned it: "Thank you, it's a little hot in the coffin, I don't want to wear it. And this is not mine, I don't know which paper man gave it to me before, just give it back to him."
Wait, in the coffin...
Putting the words of the paper man together with the situation before him, Zhou Lian's expression froze for a moment, and a terrible guess emerged in his mind: Qiao Yuan, Song Yanchi and Su Yan had teamed up to deceive him, and the other party was really on the side of the female ghost.
However, he didn't even know when he had stepped into this scam.
After realizing this, Zhou Lian felt a deeper fear than when he saw the female ghost torturing Grandma A Gu.
When he saw Qiao Yuan coming over, he subconsciously took a few steps back as if he had seen some evil ghost, but soon discovered that Qiao Yuan's attention was obviously not on him, but on other villagers.
Qiao Yuan said a series of names, but before the villagers could respond, Song Yanchi's voice rang out: "I asked them to stand together, but they were killed by the female ghost."
Because of Qiao Yuan's instructions, Song Yanchi was deeply impressed by those names.
Zhou Lian & the remaining villagers: "..."
What kind of death list is this?
Qiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. According to the plan between her and the female ghost, the village chief's wife died after being locked up, and the village chief also fell there. Li Yan, who made the commission, was outside the village at the time and was unaware of these circumstances. Therefore, he was not on the female ghost's revenge list. Now only Grandma Agu was left, and they could pass the level.
As for Zhou Lian...
In response to Zhou Lian's trembling gaze when he touched her, Qiao Yuan smiled friendly and said, "Mr. Zhou, why are you so nervous? I won't do anything to you."
Zhou Lian was stunned and subconsciously looked at Su Yan.
Did Su Yan not tell Qiao Yuan her true identity? Was the relationship between the other party and Qiao Yuan not the cooperative relationship he thought?
However, as soon as this thought came into Zhou Lian's mind, a pair of cold hands grabbed his arm.
Zhou Lian turned his head and met the ghost girl's sinister expression: "I forgot you existed."
He suddenly remembered that he was still a thorn in the ghost's side: "No, it's not me, it's Qiao Yuan... Song Yanchi... Su Yan..."
Because of nervousness and fear, he said the names of the three people present.
Grandma A Gu, who was standing by, had half of her tongue broken off and was mumbling something. From her humble and pitiful tone, one could barely tell that she was begging for mercy.
However, the female ghost seemed not to have heard anything. She dragged him with one hand and carried Grandma Agu with the other hand as she walked forward. She nodded to Qiao Yuan when she passed by her.
Although the female ghost said she didn't care when they discussed the plan, Qiao Yuan still defended herself: "I didn't get married to Li Yaozu."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a corpse." said the female ghost. The successful revenge obviously made her feel good. Although she felt a little depressed when she heard Li Yaozu's name, she quickly adjusted herself and continued to move forward with the two of them.
She wanted to let Grandma Agu also experience what she felt like in the coffin, so she left her with a breath of life.
Zhou Lian was dragged by the ghost and couldn't break free. While struggling, his glasses fell somewhere and he looked very embarrassed. After finding that asking the ghost for help was fruitless, he turned to Qiao Yuan and others for help.
As he got closer and closer to the pit, his voice changed from humble at the beginning to frantic, until he cursed: "Qiao Yuan, Song Yanchi, Su Yan, I will remember the three of you, I curse you..."
Hearing his name prominently on the list, Qiao Yuan finally spoke up, interrupting Zhou Lian's spellcasting: "It doesn't matter, Qiao Yuan is my stage name anyway."
Song Yanchi & Su Yan: "..."
Coming back to her senses, Su Yan subconsciously looked at Song Yanchi who was standing beside her, wanting to ask if that was also a stage name.
As Qiao Yuan finished speaking, even the system, which had always been the one Qiao Yuan took the initiative to talk to in the dungeon, couldn't help but speak out this time: [According to your resume, you have never changed your name or used a previous name.]
As a system, before choosing Qiao Yuan as a player, it had obtained his complete life history and biography, and confirmed that there was no mention of any name change.
Qiao Yuan didn't expect that he had interfered with the system's judgment, but he kindly explained in his heart: "Qiao Yuan is indeed my real name."
"I am doing this to confuse him, otherwise will he really curse me?"
Although she didn't believe this, it would be better to stop Zhou Lian from having these thoughts just in case.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and said to the system: "He actually believed it so easily. He must be judging others by his own standards. He used a fake name."
Alas, Zhou Lian is too dishonest. I don’t know how many people like him there are in the copy.
The system did not respond this time.
Zhou Lian, who didn't know the truth, obviously believed Qiao Yuan's words. He didn't expect that the celebrity's name was encrypted and paused.
While they were at it, the female ghost had thrown both of them into the coffin, and before the two men could react, she closed the coffin lid herself.
She did not marry Li Yaozu, so the restriction of the ancestral tomb was naturally useless to her.
The coffin that could only hold one person was squeezed with two people, and it was very lively for a while. Even standing at the edge of the pit, several people could hear the crying, cursing, and begging for mercy coming from inside, and finally it calmed down.
When the coffin was completely silent, Qiao Yuan finally heard the system's prompt: [Congratulations to player Qiao Yuan for completing the task.]
[About to leave the dungeon...]
The moment he received the news, Qiao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lived through another copy.
Song Yanchi showed no expression, but Su Yan's eyes were red with excitement. Her previous fear was finally swept away at this moment: "Great, we passed the level!"
It seems that the two of them also received the news of customs clearance.
Time froze at this moment, and the sound disappeared without a trace. Both the frightened villagers and the female ghost who had just walked out of the bottom of the pit stopped at this moment.
Qiao Yuan then realized that the game still teleported people one by one, and the order of teleportation could first be ruled out as alphabetical.
The first person to be teleported away was Su Yan. She was saying "thank you" and trying to hug Qiao Yuan, but she disappeared in the next second.
The second one was Song Yanchi. He looked at her with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said: "I owe you one."
"morning."
