Chapter 579

Fang Xingyan also knew that all the brides sent in by the four major families over the years had died, unable even to become ghosts; their souls and bodies had become nourishment for the entire old house.

This is the curse of the four great families who betrayed their supreme deity.

It's not that no one has resisted, but ultimately they couldn't afford the consequences.

Fang Xingyan also thought that Shang Xin would definitely die if she came in. He felt sorry for her, but he cared more about his mission and career.

At most, he will always remember the beautiful girl who once amazed him.

If Wen Xin knew what this jerk of a male lead was thinking, she would definitely laugh at him and then fill in the plot for him. Would he then use her as a template for his ideal woman and start looking for replacements?

Damn it, he remembered her for a lifetime, she was so grateful, so grateful that she almost threw up her dinner from the night before.

At this moment, Fang Xingyan looked at the two words "Madam" on the rule sheet and found them extremely glaring.

Could it be her?

If so... it might be his biggest chance.

Fang Xingyan suppressed the uneasy emotions in his heart and coldly and rationally calculated.

The terror of the old house is unmatched by any other place with rules. Even if he has life-saving items, it's not certain whether he can use them here. Besides, he came here not just to survive, but also because there are more important things waiting for him to do.

Romantic relationships are not suitable for him.

Fang Xingyan snapped out of his thoughts and focused on the ninth fixed rule: Every night before sunset, there will be a banquet in the front hall, and all guests must attend. Remember to be quiet at night, quiet, quiet! Making noise at night will get you killed!

This is yet another fixed rule that has been modified.

Previously, there was a banquet in the front hall every night after sunset, and guests had to attend at least once; otherwise, the residents would think the guests were dissatisfied and come looking for you.

Fang Xingyan knew that the banquet was a carnival for ghosts and monsters, and it was no different from a chaotic dance of demons. In the past, the old house only required guests not to make noise. Ghosts and monsters could have a blast, but they could not.

Now, the rules stipulate that people cannot make any sound at night, and ghosts are forbidden from making noise, as if... they are worried about disturbing someone?

Fang Xingyan couldn't help but think of the mysterious lady in the rules again.

Only humans are afraid of being disturbed at night.

Shang Xin... is she really the madam?

So how can we maximize his benefits?

Unaware that she had been disgusted by the scoundrel male lead and had been caught in his scheme, Wen Xin was sleeping soundly in her room.

Some crazy, eccentric ghost who supposedly wouldn't bother her was lying by her bedside, staring at her like a pervert.

The bride is so beautiful.

His! His! His!

But why is the bride so biased?

He wasn't the one who was biased!

I feel so bad, so wronged. Why doesn't the dominant personality just die?

spirits:"……"

Oh!

...

"Have you finished watching?"

Water Maiden stared at everyone with her eerie eyes, sending chills down their spines.

No one dared to make a sound, but no one dared not to respond; they all nodded.

“Very good. The old house is a place that follows the rules. Guests, please remember the rules well.”

The explorers quickly nodded again.

Water Maiden clapped her hands, and a female ghost, dressed like an ancient lady and holding a round fan, floated in with a group of paper figures, distributing clothes, shoes, accessories, and room keys to the explorers.

"You have half an hour to go back to your rooms and tidy your appearance. You will return to the hall later, where Aunt Lin will teach you etiquette and manners. You will be responsible for the consequences of being late."

The explorers: "???"

What is all this?

Why have all the rules for the old house game changed this year?

In previous years, although the old house was extremely dangerous, with uncontrollable ghosts, heavy pollution, and terrifyingly many death triggers, at least the rules and gameplay were likely to remain the same.

And it was also agreed that the manager of the old house would not make things difficult for them on the first night, which would be the safest and most free time, right?

And now... are you kidding me?

And why do they need to learn etiquette and rules?

They came to escape, not to apply for a job as etiquette staff!

The explorers were devastated.

Is this leaving them no way to survive?

"You have a problem with that?"

Seeing the group of tiny ants standing still, the Water Maiden licked her scarlet tongue and asked with a hint of excitement.

They wished they would say something against it, or that someone would dare to test the rules.

In that case, the big guys in the old house will have one more thing to eat tonight.

Moreover, there are just too many of these little ants, and their quality varies greatly. Eliminating some of them makes the toy seem more precious.

After all, more items mean lower prices, and with everything crammed into the lobby, even if the space is spacious, the air quality suffers significantly.

What should we do if this keeps the young mistress so bored?

No, no, we still need to reduce staff again before the young mistress arrives tomorrow.

So, who should we kill first?

The explorers were terrified when they met the Water Maiden's murderous and terrifying gaze.

The old house was terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

Fang Xingyan's heart skipped a beat. In such an extremely dangerous place, losing too many people at the start would be disastrous.

But none of them dared to make a move; they could only obediently follow orders.

They are, after all, just flesh and blood. Even if they can defeat this terrifying female ghost by joining forces, what about the other ghosts and monsters in the old house?

Moreover, it is rumored that there are countless powerful ghosts here. Even a vengeful ghost like Water Maiden, who is terrifying enough in their eyes, is probably just a low-level boss here.

Desperate?

Can they win?

Thus, life and death depend entirely on luck.

...

The next morning, when Wen Xin woke up, she found that the sky above the old house was not clear as before, but covered with dark clouds, and the yin energy was stronger than ever before.

Above the sky, something seemed to be shrouding the entire ancient house.

Wen Xin frowned slightly, as the power of the Heavenly Dao's rules was suppressing this place.

Fortunately, the other party could only use a barrier to isolate it; they couldn't do anything to the old house, or rather, they couldn't do anything to ghosts or spirits...

And the older brother doesn't seem to have any intention of breaking free of the barrier and appearing in the real world.

She slowly exhaled and, with Mo'er's help, changed her clothes and washed up.

After breakfast, Wen Xinru, as usual, took her basket to the shrine.

But today, the gentle ghost who used to gaze at her with a soft smile on the altar was gone, replaced by a cold, indifferent statue... the same statue she had seen the first time she came to the shrine.

The difference is that today's statues are bound together by countless iron chains.

Looking at these black chains that carried an ominous aura, Wen Xin seemed to see the unjust fate that had weighed on the ghosts and gods for thousands of years.

She pursed her lips, feeling a little sad.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the wind chimes hanging in her shrine rang out with a clear and melodious sound, as if comforting her.
