Chapter 46 Five Ghosts Snatching the Bride: Is It Really That Eerie?

After seeing the comments from netizens, Yun Shu went online to search for the story of the Five Ghosts Stealing the Bride.

Two years have passed since this case, and there are many rumors circulating online. The most popular version is that during the construction of the residential complex, a construction error led to the tragic deaths of five workers, whose families have not yet received reasonable compensation. As a result, the ghosts of the five workers are filled with resentment and have been lingering in the complex.

After the residential complex was built and put up for sale, people moved in one after another, but they kept encountering strange things in the complex, and everyone thought it was the ghosts of the five workers causing trouble.

Two years ago, four female residents of the community, including one woman with her daughter, were playing mahjong at a convenience store near the community entrance. All five of them died mysteriously in the middle of the night. When they died, their bodies were wrapped in yellow cloth, on which were drawn strange runes.

There's a legend about five ghosts causing trouble here, and some say that the five women were kidnapped by the ghosts of the five workers to be their brides, which is why they died so mysteriously.

Surveillance footage from the vicinity shows that no one else had ever been to the convenience store before or after the time these five women died; only the five of them were there.

All five women died by poisoning, but the origin of the poison was never found, and no containers containing the poison were found at the scene.

The most bizarre thing was the way the yellow cloth was wrapped. Police professionals determined that all five women wrapped themselves in the yellow cloth!

"You can do that?"

Yun Shu knew that people had died here, but she didn't expect the legends here to be so bizarre.

[Yun Shu, if you search it online, you'll see how terrifying this place is. Even if you're doing business in the underworld, you still need to be careful!]

Let's hurry and leave before it gets dark!

The last streamer who came here was so frightened that he went insane on the spot. He stayed at the temple for two months, chanting sutras with the high monks every day until he recovered.

[I suggest you don't try livestreaming here; you'll die if you do. If you don't believe me, I can send you the video of that streamer encountering the ghost bride.]

I remember seeing that live stream video too; it was absolutely terrifying! I had nightmares for a whole week! Now when I search for it online, I can't find the video anymore. I guess it was too horrible, and it was removed from all platforms.

Although the video was deleted, some bold netizens saved it and sent it to Yunshu privately.

The legend of the five ghosts snatching the bride has been believed by so many people because of this person's live stream, in which he captured the image of the ghost bride!

"I received the video you sent. Let me see what happened."

Compared to the anxiety and worry of netizens, Yun Shu remained calm. After all, she was a ghost hunter in her previous life, and making paper offerings was just a side job.

She opened the video sent from the backend.

The scene in that short video is the shop that Yunshu rented.

The male anchor was standing next to the glass door with his phone in his hand. There was no one around him, but a woman's figure was reflected in the glass door.

The woman was wrapped in a yellow cloth with blood-red runes drawn on it, and a red veil covered her head, revealing only her pale chin and bright red lips, with blood still dripping from her lips. She was facing the male anchor.

This scene terrified the anchor, who immediately ran out the door and ran wildly down the street. However, a shadow covered with a red veil always followed him.

After that, the male streamer's mental state became somewhat abnormal. He stopped doing live streams and stayed at a temple for a while, where he sought help from a high-ranking monk to exorcise evil spirits before gradually recovering.

Yun Shu watched the video several times, and the more she watched, the more she felt something was wrong. She returned to the live stream and said, "The ghost in the video is a bit strange, it doesn't look like the ones I've seen before. Especially the scene of the chase on the road, the ghost kept following the male streamer's shadow and couldn't catch up with him for a long time."

Based on my understanding of ghosts, their shadows make them even faster; theoretically, I should be able to catch up within two seconds. It's impossible that I chased them the whole way without success.

Based on your understanding of ghosts? Sis, you're not a ghost, how could you possibly know?

[I even saw two ghosts fighting in Yunshu's live stream last time. Yunshu must see ghosts a lot, right? Yunshu doesn't know anything about ghosts, so do you?]

[Forget about the last live stream, no one could be this funny, it felt scripted.]

"I don't need to write this kind of script."

Yun Shu said speechlessly, "Ghosts were all human before they died. Humans can be funny men and funny women, so why can't there be funny ghosts? There are plenty of weird ghosts and weird people."

Yun Shu ignored the comments and went to tidy up her things.

She brought not only all the finished paper offerings, but also the tools she used to make them. She didn't need to bring tables and chairs; the shop had its own, and there were also some empty cabinets that she could easily clean up and use.

While Yun Shu was tidying up, she suddenly received a call from Mu Qing.

Mu Qing learned about her paper craft shop's opening today from watching her live stream and wanted to come over to celebrate, so she specially ordered a batch of flowers to be delivered.

Mu Qing hadn't arrived yet, but the flowers he ordered had been delivered. Yun Shu couldn't refuse, so she said, "Then come over, I'll treat you to dinner."

Mu Qing coughed lightly and asked, "Do you mind if I bring someone over for a free meal? He also prepared an opening gift for you!"

Who is it?

Mu Qing said, "You'll know when we get there. It'll be a surprise for you!"

Yun Shu remained expressionless. "Lu Shijing?"

Mu Qing: "..."

Can you stop being so honest?

Thinking of Lu Shijing's constitution, Yun Shu said, "Bring him over. We can see if there are any ghost brides here."

"What?"

Mu Qing scratched his head, not understanding what she meant, "What kind of ghost bride are you looking at?"

"You'll see it when Lu Shijing arrives. Tell him I'm treating him to a big meal."

"What about me? Aren't you going to treat me to a big meal? You can't give me special treatment! I was the one who thought of coming to celebrate your opening first!"

Yun Shu glanced at the paper offerings on the table, her expression somewhat complicated. "Are you sure you want to eat them?"

"Who wouldn't want a big meal? I want one too! You can't just give it to Ah Jing!"

Yun Shu sighed helplessly, "Alright, I'll burn some for you too."

Mu Qing: ?

Yun Shu hung up the phone first, and then told the viewers in the live stream, "Since everyone feels that this place is not safe, I will stay here for one night and see if I can resolve the ghost bride incident here."

She's already rented this shop and will be coming here from now on, so she needs to let her neighbors know so they won't come in and damage her things when she's not home!

[Are you crazy?! We're telling you all this so you can run away, not so you can do a live stream here! You'd rather have views than your life?]

Speechless. Kindness can't save someone who wants to die!

[You think you're invincible just because you can make some paper offerings? These ghost brides who died tragically aren't ordinary ghosts; they're all vengeful spirits, and there are five of them!]
