The slender fingertips were wrapped in white lace gloves and clasped tightly together.

Su Yi pursed her lips, a little nervous, and finally made a decision:

"I...don't choose anyone."

He spoke quickly, and because he was not used to speaking in front of the public, his voice became lower and lower:

"I told you before, my fiancé is not here..."

Under the clown mask, the magician raised his eyebrows and said in a very teasing tone: "My dear, your voice is too soft. I can't hear you clearly."

"That's enough!" The Third Young Master stood up coldly and ended this farce:

"He made the right choice. The person is indeed not here."

Su Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and guessed in her heart that if the fiancé was really present, he would definitely stand up and say a word for him as he was being attacked from both sides by the magician and the third young master.

"But he will be here soon." The third young master stood up and left, glancing at Su Yi coldly:

"Wait in the lounge on the back porch."

After saying that, he walked away without even looking back, seeming a little angry. Su Yi couldn't guess.

The groom selection session was forced to end so easily. The magician was so unhappy that he had to get up and leave. Before leaving, he pointed at the darkness behind Su Yi and said with a mischievous smile:

"The lights there are broken, it's very dark. Be careful if you go alone. You didn't choose anyone just now, so there's no one to accompany you."

Su Yi didn't answer, feeling a little angry in his heart. If no one is with him, then no one is with him. Who cares?

If he chooses one of the masked men to accompany him, he can indeed choose a helper if he is lucky. But if he is unlucky...

You might even choose the murderer directly.

Except for the magician and the third young master, the other masked men did not speak the whole time. Su Yi was not sure whether they were good or bad, and both the magician and the third young master had emotional entanglements with him.

87% of the world's murders are committed by acquaintances, of which 56% are murders of passion. The closer the relationship, the more likely it is that the person will lose their mind and draw a knife.

Su Yi didn't want to risk his life. People were never as easy to understand as mathematical logic. He didn't like to make friends with strangers actively. Having one more person around him was like adding a series of huge and unsolvable unknowns.

The men in suits and masks stood up one by one, walked to the door, and filed out. Su Yi confirmed that every one of them had left before turning around and walking towards the back corridor.

Sizzle…sizzle…

The wall lamp flickered twice and then went out.

It was pitch black in front of me, and under my feet was a long, dark corridor. I couldn't see clearly what was ahead.

"Can I... not go?" Su Yi asked timidly in his heart, "I'll just stay where I am."

A white arrow popped up on the light screen, pointing forward unwaveringly.

[If players do not follow the relevant settings, the plot may fail and they may not be able to clear the level.]

Please keep going forward.

The uneasiness in his heart was spreading. Su Yi frowned worriedly. His thin, curved willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, making his dark eyes look as if he was about to cry. His frowning eyes made him look like the ancient beauty Xi Shi who was sick. Everyone who saw him felt pity for him.

The light screen stared at Su Yi, paused for a moment, and popped up:

[This script-killing game is an entry-level dungeon. There will be plot prompts before danger comes, so players don’t need to be too frightened.]

Seeing this, Su Yi felt a little relieved. He took a deep breath to give himself courage.

Tick, tick, tick.

The heels of his shoes hit the back porch, making a long sound that echoed. Su Yi's feet were tightly wrapped in high-heeled wedding shoes. He was dragging his heavy wedding dress and walking step by step with difficulty.

At the end of the narrow back porch, a wooden staircase extends downward.

The white arrow pointed forward, indicating Su Yi to go down.

The faint light could only illuminate two or three steps in front and behind. The long wooden stairs had no end in sight, as if leading to an unspeakable abyss.

The stairs were very old and made a slight sound when stepped on. Su Yi leaned sideways, holding the wooden handrail tightly with one hand and carefully holding up her long skirt with the other hand to avoid tripping herself when going down the stairs.

The ill-fitting wedding shoes hurt his heels, and the lace stockings on his legs pricked him and made him itchy. Su Yi felt a little uncomfortable. The mahogany steps under his feet were very narrow and it was easy to miss a step, so he became more cautious.

Sudden!

“Crack—”

There was a noise and Su Yi was too frightened to move. As soon as he stepped on the wooden steps, he heard a loud groan that sounded like it was about to break.

He froze in place and waited for a long time. The creaking sound gradually subsided and the wooden steps under his feet remained the same.

Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief and continued to go down. He kept counting the steps in his mind. After thirteen wooden steps, there was another loud creaking sound!

He paused. After the noise, the wooden step did not break. It was just a false alarm.

This time, Su Yi became a little braver. He quickened his pace, trying to finish the journey earlier.

The snow-white wedding dress fluttered on the wooden stairs like a fluttering white rose.

After going down another twenty-five wooden steps, Su Yi's heels touched the ground with a click.

The lights on both sides lit up in response.

He was now on the underground floor, which seemed like the corridor of a five-star hotel. The warm yellow light dyed the walls with exquisite reliefs, and the road in front of him was covered with intricate European carpets.

[Players please go to B104 lounge]

Su Yi followed the arrows on the screen and walked slowly forward. On the left were the odd-numbered rooms, and on the right were the even-numbered rooms. He quietly observed B101-B103, but there was no sound. He was not sure if anyone lived there.

A vintage mahogany door stood before my eyes, with a golden plaque engraved with: B104.

Su Yi leaned forward, his ears pressed against the door, like a nervous little white rabbit. The ambiguous yellow light was smeared on his naked snow-white back, his butterfly bones were slightly arched, and his skin color was like snow cream dipped in honey.

——There was no sound inside.

Su Yi calmed himself down and put his slender hand on the door handle. The room was not locked, and the door opened silently as soon as he pressed the handle.

The room was dark.

Click.

Turn on the switch in the entrance hall, and the lights in the house light up one by one.

It is very big, like the presidential suite of a hotel. A huge heart is made of roses on the wall of the living room, and the fallen rose petals extend all the way to the master bedroom.

Standing in the entrance hall, you can only see a corner of the snow-white bed in the bedroom, and you can't see the whole picture.

Su Yi took the first step, and the door behind him began to slowly close...

In horror movies, doors often close automatically.

This thought popped into his mind, and he quickly turned around and grabbed the door handle behind him, not daring to go in any further.

What if there's something in this room...

After thinking about it, Su Yi took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall and placed them against the door, leaving a line.

At the same time, he looked out through the door to make sure that no one was following him, so that he could escape as soon as possible if there was any danger inside.

After taking these precautions, Su Yi walked into the room carefully.

Squeak.

The heels of my shoes made a sound like friction against balloons when they stepped on the freshly waxed solid wood floor.

Su Yi felt uncomfortable after hearing this. This pair of shoes made a lot of noise when walking and didn't fit his feet well. It would be better not to wear them. It would be more convenient if he needed to escape later.

The wedding dress was too big and blocked his view. He couldn't reach out to take off his shoes, so he could only use his left foot to rub the heel of his right foot to take them off. The hem of the snow-white dress swayed as he rubbed, like snow on a branch in winter, falling down with a rustle.

Click.

Two bow-knot patent leather shoes were kicked out from under the skirt, and the delicate little feet wrapped in stockings were stepped directly on the ground.

——It’s so cold.

Su Yi retracted her toes and walked forward. The stockings were delicate and slippery on the wooden floor, much easier to walk in than the hard and painful patent leather shoes.

There was a bathroom in the living room, paved with snow-white marble. Su Yi went in and took a look, but there was no one inside.

The other room was the bedroom. Su Yi held the bedroom door, leaned in carefully, and looked inside.

The bed was large, covered with white velvet, and at first glance it looked as if no one was hiding there.

Su Yi walked in, dragging her huge skirt, and slowly and laboriously crawled to the ground, looking under the bed -

Empty, no one.

There was another small door in the bedroom, made of dark wood. Su Yi only took a glance and found a very small hole on the door.

It's a cat's eye, very concealed and integrated with the dark door. It's difficult for ordinary people to find it without careful observation.

If he sleeps in the bedroom, the person behind the door can see him through the peephole.

Su Yi frowned. This design made him feel uncomfortable. He pushed the door open cautiously.

Inside was a small room, with clothes hanging on both sides of the wall: all kinds of wedding dresses, tops, pants, hats and wigs...

It's just a cloakroom.

But who would install a peephole on the cloakroom door?

Su Yi couldn't figure it out, and it probably wasn't a good purpose.

A full-length mirror is embedded on the back wall of the cloakroom. Next to the mirror is a dressing table with a white European-style bench.

Mirrors are often the most evil things in horror plots. Su Yi walked forward and tried it by putting his finger against the mirror.

If it is a two-way mirror that can peek at people, it will reflect most of the projected light back. The coating layer is in front of the glass. When you press it with your fingertips, there will be no distance between your nail and the image.

For ordinary one-way mirrors, the coating layer is behind the glass, and the light is reflected on the coating layer. When the fingertip touches it, the image of the finger on the coating layer is separated by the glass, so...

Su Yi saw that there was a distance between his fingertips and the image in the mirror.

This is a safe one-way mirror that can only reflect itself.

He was worried, so he knocked on the glass with his hand. The sound was very dull, and the wall behind it was solid.

The mirror did seem to be just an ordinary mirror.

The cloakroom was not very big. Su Yi looked at it for a while and found that there was indeed no one hiding there.

He walked out of here with doubts, and quickly checked the two cupboards in the house, opened every curtain, and made sure that there was no one hiding anywhere, only then did he feel a little relieved.

This room is safe for now.

Su Yi immediately returned to the entrance, took out the slippers by the door, and prepared to lock the door.

Unable to slam the door shut, he carefully held the door handle and pressed it down lightly, allowing the bolt to slowly align with the lock slot, and finally closed and locked it silently.

——Prevent being heard by unknown neighbors next door.

Just locking the door was not enough, Su Yi also hung the hinges behind the door to increase security.

After doing all this, he relaxed and walked back to the cloakroom in the bedroom to change into some convenient clothes.

The thick, snow-white wedding dress fell to the ground like petals of a nightshade. Su Yi sat on the long and wide dressing stool and breathed a long sigh of relief.

——Finally I can take a break.

His legs were squeezed by the stockings and felt both painful and itchy. The skirt was too big and he couldn't see the condition of his legs.

Now that she could finally sit down and rest, Su Yi bent over, lifted up the layers of her skirt, and found her legs as if she were pushing aside piles of white clouds.

The white stockings he was forced to wear bound his legs tightly, stretching from his toes to his thighs. The edges of the stockings were decorated with a string of intricate lace, which was very prickly and turned his thighs red. His snow-white legs were covered with marks from the tender pink lace.

Su Yi felt a little aggrieved. Why did he have to be bound to the bride role card and suffer like this? He held the hem of the skirt with one hand, bent over with difficulty, stretched out his index finger to hook the edge of the white silk, and was about to take it off...

【Beep! 】

A warning popped up on the screen:

[Players are prohibited from taking off their stockings]

Su Yi:?

[Role playing is an essential part of script-killing games. Please respect the corresponding costumes and props. Players are prohibited from dressing up or changing their character costumes before completing the game.]

Su Yi: "But, when I took off my shoes just now, I could clearly..."

[It is detected that white stockings are an important part of the bride's dress, and players are not allowed to change them easily]

[Since it is inconvenient to move in the bride costume, to compensate the players, the gold coins will be automatically multiplied by 1.5 after clearing the level.]

Su Yi: "Excuse me, can I not have this multiple and change into a more comfortable set of clothes?"

[Sorry, no. If you really need to change, please work hard to upgrade. After level 100, the achievement of "Dressing Freedom" will be automatically unlocked. Your current level: 0, please keep going! ]

Su Yi: "..."

[Or, you can also ask high-end players above level 100 to help you]

Su Yi pursed his lips, feeling unhappy. Who would be so kind to help him for no reason? He could only wear the prickly lace stockings.

Pop.

Feeling discouraged, he loosened his grip and the lace edge of the stockings snapped back. Su Yi hissed in pain and felt even more aggrieved.

The complicated lace was trembling, and suddenly, he found that... the lace on the left seemed to be wrong.

The complicated lace weaves into a three-dimensional butterfly, which stops at the edge of the sock, one on each side. The butterfly on the left leg has a much heavier wing, and it trembles as if it were filled with lead.

The lace-woven butterfly wings should be thin and beautiful. Su Yi reached out and touched them, comparing the materials on both sides.

Sure enough, he felt a hard round paper particle on the wing of the butterfly on the left, while in the same position on the right was light polka dot lace.

Su Yi rubbed the round paper particle. He didn't know how many times this piece of paper had been folded to become such a small particle and sewed it on the butterfly wings.

He pulled it off and patiently unfolded it...

The creases opened one by one, and the paper in the hand changed from paper grains to paper squares, and finally a very thin rectangle was revealed.

It was a thin layer of card torn from a playing card, with a dark heart in the center:

Ace of Spades

On the wrinkled and creased thin paper, a line of bloody words appeared on the back:

Your turn.

now you.

clang--!

Suddenly, a loud bell rang in his ears, like a death knell. Su Yi was startled, and a blood-red screen popped up in front of him:

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the main storyline: The Cursed Bride. ]

[Please don’t rush to explore the truth, complete the novice task first: try to survive for 5 minutes]

[After completion, you will automatically upgrade to: Level 1 and receive corresponding rewards]

Otherwise, you will face real death.

In 5 minutes...

Danger is coming. Su Yi thought about it, and according to what the third young master said, the eldest young master of the Bai family would soon come to this lounge to find him.

Could it be that the young master might... not be a good person?

This is the basement floor. All the windows are sealed and the only exit is the door to the entrance. If I run out of the room now, I don't know where I can go and it may not be safe outside.

If I were to escape and be chased, I would definitely die given my congenital heart disease.

Apart from the door, the only exit in this room is the vent in the bathroom, which is so small that only a cat can climb in.

We have to think of another way...

Su Yi caught a glimpse of the small hole on the cloakroom door, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

This cat's eye can be put to good use.

He quickly dragged out a spare wedding dress from the cloakroom, dragged it to the bed in the bedroom, covered it with a quilt, and took out a down jacket and a wig.

Stuff the down jacket into the wedding dress to make the upper body puff up, and then put it under the quilt, it will look like someone is lying on the bed.

He didn't want to meet the eldest young master in person, but wanted to observe him secretly first. When the eldest young master of the Bai family walked into the bedroom, he would hide in the cloakroom to see what kind of person this eldest young master was.

If he's a good guy, that's the best. If he's a bad guy...

She quickly hid among the rows of wedding dresses in the cloakroom, blending in with others and trying to get away with it.

There was a chance of being found, but he really had no better choice. His weak and sick body, coupled with the heavy wedding dress, did not allow him to run around...

Crunch——

Suddenly, Su Yi heard a strange sound!

It was so quiet that if he hadn't been on guard, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

It seemed like... the groaning of the stairs about to break.

He clearly remembered that he had stepped on the step that made the sound when he was going down the stairs.

——Someone is coming down!

After the thirteenth step, there will be another step that will make this sound.

Su Yi counted in her mind and quickly threw the wig on the pillow and covered it with the quilt. A few strands of black hair were exposed, and with the big skirt hanging from the side of the quilt, it seemed as if there was really a bride sleeping in a velvet quilt.

Just when he counted to five in his heart, Su Yi heard the second voice:

Crunch!

In just five seconds, the man ran up the thirteen steps.

...too fast!

Su Yi immediately felt something was wrong, which showed that this person was very agile. And according to the plot, his fiancé was a disabled person.

——The person who came is most likely not the eldest master of the Bai family.

Then, there might be someone who comes to find him at this time...

Su Yi immediately thought of the Ace of Spades:

Your turn.

The first bride was stabbed to death in the basement, and this room happened to be on the underground floor.

His breathing became rapid, his nostrils flaring, Su Yi felt scared, his heart pounding faster and faster, he immediately covered his chest and took a deep breath -

The heart rate must not be too fast. If it is too fast, it is likely to cause illness. As a patient with congenital heart disease, Su Yi has developed the habit of adjusting his heart rate at any time since he was a child.

After taking three deep breaths, Su Yi felt a little better. He counted the steps carefully when he went down the stairs. After walking up the two creaky wooden steps, there were still 25 steps to reach the underground floor where he was.

According to this person's speed, he can finish the thirteen steps in 5 seconds, and the twenty-fifth steps in less than 10 seconds. Taking into account the distance in the corridor, it will take him at most 15 seconds to reach the door of his room!

It would be too late to run to the entrance and escape now, and I would run into this person.

Su Yi immediately turned around and went back to the cloakroom. Just as he locked the door, he heard some clicking sounds...!

The man outside is prying open the door of his room!

Su Yi was extremely scared. He pressed his chest hard to calm his frightened heart, and huddled behind the cloakroom door like a kitten.

Click!

The man was very experienced and he quickly pried open the lock with the wire...

Squeak——

The entrance door was pushed open!

It was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, bang bang bang!!

The door was shaking violently. The people outside tried to pry open the lock, but were stopped by the hinges at the back of the door. They were pulling desperately, with such force that even the door frame was shaking.

Su Yi didn't even dare to breathe. He hid behind the door of the bedroom cloakroom, curled up in his white gauze skirt. In such a terrifying moment, his mind still noticed a detail:

Door gap.

There is a gap between the door and the floor of the cloakroom. When no one is behind it, light shines through the gap, and the gap in the door appears as a bright light band.

She hid behind the door, with her skirt hanging on the ground, blocking the light strip.

If the person outside breaks into the bedroom, he only needs to take a look at the crack in the door to immediately know that he is hiding here!

Su Yi propped himself up tremblingly and moved towards the dressing table, where there was a dressing stool. He estimated that the stool was longer than the width of the cloakroom door. If he placed it behind the door and lay on the stool to look through the peephole, the gap in the door would not be blocked.

The scary stranger was about to break in, and Su Yi was very scared. He wanted to hide himself in the pile of wedding dresses and bury himself like an ostrich so that no one could find him.

But he knew that he must take the opportunity to find out who had come. He could just use the cat's eye to take a look. If it was the murderer, this one look would help him to directly identify the real murderer later.

Su Yi held the legs of the dressing stool with her slender hands, held her breath, and carefully lifted the stool, making sure not to make any noise...

Sizzle…sizzle…!

There was a sound like sawing from the entrance hall; someone outside was picking at the hinges of the door.

Su Yi felt like his heart was about to rise to his throat. That man actually carried a chainsaw with him!

Click.

The hinge was sawed off in two seconds! Bang!

With a loud bang, the man kicked the door open.

The dressing stool was placed behind the cloakroom door. Su Yi lifted her skirt and climbed up...

At the same time, the man broke into the living room and saw a pair of white patent leather shoes on the ground, facing the bedroom.

Su Yi knelt on the stool, leaned forward and lay behind the door, looking into the cat's eye——

A burly and tall man rushed into the bedroom, wearing a werewolf mask and holding a crackling chainsaw in his left hand. When he saw the bulging quilt on the bed, he immediately swung the chainsaw to cut it down!

Zizi—zizi——

Su Yi bit his lower lip, not daring to make a sound, and his whole body couldn't help shaking. The murderer really came to kill him!

If...if he had let his guard down and thought the room was safe and just slept in this bedroom, blood and flesh would have been splattered everywhere by now.

The electric saw cut through the quilt, wedding dress, and down jacket. In an instant, white feathers flew all over the room. The murderer did not see the expected spurt of blood, and angrily lifted the quilt, and saw a wig lying on the pillow.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Su Yi saw that the murderer was angry and madly used the electric saw to cut the wig. The broken hair, gauze skirt and quilt were mixed into a ball. The murderer roared in hatred.

The voice was rough, and the fingers holding the chainsaw were rough too.

It can’t be the Third Young Master, nor the magician.

Su Yi seized this brief opportunity and stared at the murderer intently. His fingers were shaking, but his eyes were desperately observing, constantly inputting detailed information into his mind:

The murderer was wearing reddish-brown boots, with mud spots on the left boot. He was wearing a suit and a mask. He was one of the people in the groom selection process. The right side of his suit pants seemed to have been rubbed against something, and there was a little yellow powder on it...

Suddenly! The werewolf mask turned around and looked directly at Su Yi in the cat's eyes.

In an instant, his hands and feet were cold, and even his teeth were trembling. Su Yi was so nervous that he almost suffocated. The heart in his chest was beating wildly and he felt a dull pain...

Su Yi pressed his chest desperately, fearing that the murderer would hear his heartbeat. After a while...

He felt that under the werewolf mask, the murderer's gaze was gradually moving downwards, and finally moved to the gap in the door below the cloakroom.

The crack in the door was bright and clear, revealing a thin, narrow, bright white band of light.

The murderer paused for a moment, holding the electric saw, then turned around and walked out of the bedroom, rushing to the bathroom in the living room to look for someone.

Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief silently. He didn't dare to breathe hard. He quickly got down from the dressing stool and hid in the pile of wedding dresses...

Sudden!

In the dim light, a pair of big men's hands stretched out and suddenly covered Su Yi's mouth!

…Woo!

Su Yi froze in place in horror.

Impossible, there was clearly no one in the cloakroom, how could...

"Don't move."

A deep, magnetic male voice sounded from behind.

The hand covered his lips, and the other wrapped around his waist, lifting him off the dressing stool.

Su Yi fell onto the other person's lap. When he lowered his head, he saw the man's white suit pants and the wheelchair with a steely luster.

Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, the man behind him was strangely strong and muscular. His arms were hard and firm, revealing fierce strength. His chest was broad and pressed against his back, emitting a hot body temperature.

Su Yi was so frightened that she dared not move. The murderer would be back soon. If he didn't find anyone in the bathroom, he would definitely come and smash the door of the cloakroom...

A few seconds later, footsteps were heard outside the door again. The murderer was coming!

At the same time, Su Yi felt... something behind him, rubbing against his snow-white gauze skirt and pressing against the door.

It's a gun barrel!

The snow-white silver spear was pointed at the door, without waiting for Su Yi to react——

Bang! Bang! Bang——!

Three gunshots were heard.

Su Yi only felt his ears were numb from the vibration, and he didn't even realize that the man behind him had already covered his ears when he was scared by the sight of the gun.

The hot, hard gun barrel burned a black hole in the door. The man behind him raised the silver gun and gently blew away the smoke from the muzzle.

Su Yi saw a sentence floating out from the curling green smoke on the light screen:

[The eldest young master of the Bai family, your husband.]
