Chapter 110 "Brave" Exploration of the Haunted House
The people around him also raised their hands and assured him it wasn't him—then who was it? William looked around suspiciously, but didn't find anything suspicious.
"The auspicious hour has arrived! Please invite the bride to enter!" A loud yet deep voice echoed from within the mansion, signaling what should have been a joyous occasion.
Lin Tiantian and the others sensed an eerie atmosphere. The words had barely left their lips when a soft, mournful sobbing sound began to echo in the ears of those who had entered.
William and the others, who hadn't been particularly afraid before, suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
When the seed of chill is planted, it will gradually grow into a large tree. As William's heart grew increasingly agitated, he saw movement coming from behind the red bridal sedan chair's curtain.
A foot wearing an embroidered shoe appeared, followed by a bride in a red wedding dress and a red veil stepping out of the sedan chair.
Immediately afterwards, a woman with a deathly pale face, two bright red blushes on her cheeks, a matchmaker's hairstyle, and dressed in a matchmaker's attire walked out of the mansion.
He walked up to the bride, whose head was covered by a red veil, and said softly, "Girl, come on! Follow me inside."
After speaking, he extended his arm to the girl. The bride seemed hesitant for a moment, but then, as if she had made up her mind, she followed the matchmaker into the mansion.
Yufei and the others followed them inside. Inside was the main courtyard of the mansion. Two men and women with stern expressions sat on either side of each other in armchairs. Directly in front of them was a long table with three long and two short candles and some offerings.
In front of the long table was another coffin, and inside, one could vaguely see, a person lying.
The bold William, disregarding the taboos of their Great Xia, strode over and saw a pale-faced man dressed in ancient clothing lying inside, seemingly dead for some time.
Then the sounds of the wedding ceremony steps came from the air again, and the woman, as if resigned to her fate, followed the instructions.
The word "The ceremony is complete" seemed to infuse the woman with some kind of power; she rose, lifted her skirt, and rushed out.
Everyone was shocked. The couple, who had been sitting there like statues, suddenly stood up and shouted for the guards to arrest her.
Yufei looked at the guards who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and then she heard the urgent cries of a woman again.
Yufei watched as the guards captured the woman and, despite her desperate struggles, threw her into the coffin.
Ignoring the woman's struggles, they closed the coffin lid and sealed it with coffin nails.
The woman was still struggling violently inside the coffin, while the guards and the couple beside her watched expressionlessly as the coffin struggled.
Gradually, the sounds from the coffin subsided and eventually stopped. The couple, whose expressions had been solemn, even showed relieved smiles.
Lin Tiantian, her face already pale, watched the scene unfold before her.
The couple's joyful smiles hadn't lasted long when the coffin began to shake violently again, accompanied by a large amount of blood overflowing from it.
The couple and their guards all wore expressions of terror, as if something horrific was about to happen.
Immediately afterwards, the still-bleeding coffin flew up, its lid flying off as if kicked by something.
This also piqued Vasily's curiosity, as he clearly saw them nail it in place.
What's the principle behind this? Or is it magic? Before Vasily could think any further, a woman in a red wedding dress flew out of the coffin.
This... the red wedding dress is empty, without anything on it, yet it looks as if someone is wearing it, giving it a human-like shape.
The woman in the red wedding dress slowly walked up to the couple, raised her hands, and as her sleeves lifted, the woman inside the couple was lifted up.
Upon seeing this, the groom ran towards the door, but after only a few steps, he was dragged back to the bride's side as if by something, and lifted up.
Then the couple suffocated to death, followed by the matchmaker and the guards, none of whom survived.
Finally, Lin Tiantian and the other girls, as if unable to withstand the pressure, screamed. The screams made the bride, who had previously ignored them, seem to notice them.
The red wedding dress flew up and rushed towards them, the red veil billowing, the red wedding dress hanging empty, and then passed through their bodies.
The moment they passed through, Lin Tiantian, Zhao Jing, and the other girls fainted from fright, except for Yufei. (Just kidding, she designed all of this; how could she possibly faint from fright?)
Those who didn't faint from fright saw their surroundings change as the red wedding dress passed through their bodies.
The sky brightened, revealing an ancient Xia-style courtyard, and at the same time, a male voice echoed from the space.
"Welcome to the Ghost Bride's space. Please fulfill the Ghost Bride's last wish and collect all of her items to clear the level. Good luck, players!"
The voice in the air disappeared after it finished speaking, leaving the group to explore on their own.
Yufei patted Lin Tiantian and Zhao Jing, calling their names, and finally managed to wake them up after a few minutes.
Yufei looked at them worriedly, "Sweetie, can Zhao Jing hold on? If not, we'll contact the administrator directly and apply to leave."
The other girls were tempted by Yufei's words. The game was already so terrifying before it even started, and they were afraid they couldn't handle it!
"Is this scary? You girls are just too timid!" William mocked, looking at the girls whose faces had turned deathly pale.
This level of terror is simply not worth mentioning; he could pass it in a minute.
Those words infuriated the girls, but they didn't dare to defy William and insist on continuing. Lin Tiantian had a girl's intuition that what followed would be even more terrifying.
She knew perfectly well that this was all Yufei's scheme, orchestrated by people from Longyuan Town, but she couldn't control her fear. It wouldn't be worth it if she got seriously injured from the fright; she knew she had to back down when necessary.
Just as she was about to tell Yufei that she still wanted to go out and wasn't going to play anymore...
Then I heard William say
"I told you not to keep pulling at my clothes! I caught you! Let's see who dared to tug at my clothes like that!"
Their attention was drawn to William, who was muttering to himself while simultaneously pulling someone along.
But in the eyes of Lin Tiantian, Yufei, and the other exchange students, William seemed like a lunatic putting on a show.
Even the exchange students from the British Empire and the Giant Elephant Kingdom, who originally didn't believe in the ghosts and monsters of the Great Xia Dynasty, forced smiles and said to William.
"Dear William, what are you doing?! What you're doing isn't funny at all. Are you trying to scare us?"
William, holding something as if he were carrying it, said to them, "I knew it! Who was tugging at my clothes? Turns out it was this brat."
After saying that, he pointed to the air.
