Chapter 551

Chaoge is a great city with a history spanning thousands of years.

The rise of the Industrial Revolution over the past century has brought about tremendous changes to this place.

Today, Chaoge City has expanded many times over, with towering buildings and a thriving economy, transforming it into a modern and bustling metropolis.

At midnight, when the city's nightlife should be in full swing, there wasn't a single car on the usually bustling highways.

The shops on both sides were closed, and there wasn't a soul in sight.

The full moon hangs high overhead, while the streetlights cast a dim glow on the ground.

Suddenly, the high-pitched, joyful sound of suona horns broke the eerie silence.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually approached the full moon, and even more frighteningly, the originally clear and bright moon began to faintly tinge with blood.

White joss paper fluttered and spun in the air before falling as the grand wedding procession slowly approached from afar.

At the very front was a group of young people dressed in bright red ancient costumes, holding high a banner with a blood-red totem pattern. Following them were musicians playing music, and maids carrying lanterns surrounded a beautifully decorated sedan chair in the center, carried by sixteen strong men. Next came the dowry, and at the very back was a group of men and women.

There were people of all ages, the men in black suits and the women in black dresses, their faces covered with black veils. Each of them wore a white flower pinned to their chest. They were all serious and stern, yet exuded an air of nobility, clearly not ordinary people.

However, while the people in front were sending off the bride, those behind them acted as if they were going to a funeral.

Whether it's an ancient wedding procession suddenly appearing in a modern metropolis or this scene of red and white mixed together, it's all extremely creepy.

This inevitably brings to mind terrifying stories such as ghost marriages and ghost brides.

Apart from joy, there was no sound in the procession. They crossed the modern highway at a seemingly slow but actually extremely fast pace, and arrived at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs. They then followed the red stone archway at the foot of the mountain and entered the mountain path to go uphill.

If there were any ordinary locals in Chaoge City at this moment, they would definitely be shocked.

Because there is no such mountain in the suburbs of Chaoge.

The mountain only appeared when the wedding procession arrived.

However, Asaka City also has many strange tales, including the disappearances in the suburbs—there are rumors that many people have mysteriously disappeared in the suburbs and never returned.

But rumors are just rumors, and ordinary people don't know whether they are true or false.

If someone were to see this mountain now, they would probably understand where those missing people went.

The blood moon was hazy, and the mist at the mountaintop dissipated, revealing a red ancient house that resembled a palace.

The eerie red candlelight flickered, and the wedding procession was heading towards that ancient house.

Wen Xin was awakened by the sound of suona horns, which sounded festive but actually sent chills down her spine.

As soon as she regained consciousness, she felt that she was sitting in a swaying space, somewhat like riding in a sedan chair in ancient times.

Wen Xin covered her forehead, trying to calm her dizzy head. Her body felt weak and limp, and her stomach was still cramping. The nausea of ​​hunger was assaulting her senses.

No, how long has it been since the soul fragments have eaten?

Did she starve to death?

That was such a terrible death...

Xiao Jin: It's alright, Master. You've just unlocked a new death pose. Don't worry.

Wen Xin: "..."

No way... what a joke!

This pose is for whoever wants it!

Despite waking up to such a miserable situation, Wen Xin remained relatively calm, having experienced many similar situations before.

Not sensing any danger, she waited until she regained some strength before slowly opening her eyes.
