After Yue Ya stepped on the ghost hand, screams were heard outside the door at the same time. The ghost hand shrank back like a loach, and the evil spirit lingering on the door slowly dissipated like a ball of fog.

The blood on the ground disappeared without a trace, and there was still an invitation stuck on the door, but the red paper had turned white, and the gold words had turned black, which was shocking. Yue Ya did not pick up the invitation, and let it lie on the ground.

The doorbell stopped ringing, but after a short while, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

Some people were talking, some were laughing, and the corridor became lively again. It seemed that the "activity" that the housekeeper mentioned had begun.

There is a camera outside the door, but Yueya cannot see its surveillance video and can only use the peephole to observe outside.

A faint green light was on outside the door, and the peephole stretched the corridor into a twisted arc. A woman in a bright red cheongsam was standing not far from the door with her back to him. Even from the back, he knew that this was the ghost bride who had slipped him the invitation, the woman with smiling eyes whom he had met in the elevator.

Several vengeful spirits with unclear faces and full of resentment came to the ghost bride and handed her red envelopes one by one. When it was the turn of a man in a white shirt, he seemed a little reluctant, and the ghost bride pulled him several times before he let go.

It seems that the event the housekeeper was talking about was the wedding banquet of the ghost bride. These resentful spirits came to the banquet and when they found the ghost bride here, they came to find her.

After receiving the red envelopes, the ghost bride left with the vengeful spirits. The man in the white shirt who was walking at the end had more resentment because he had given the red envelopes, and a dark fog was surrounding him.

Yue Ya thought this scene was a little funny, he didn't laugh out loud, but the man in the white shirt suddenly turned his head, and the amplitude of his head turned more and more, and finally it twisted 180 degrees to his back! The man in the white shirt kept this twisted posture and walked over backwards!

His heart skipped a beat, and Yue Ya immediately turned around and looked at the cat's eye!

"Bang, bang, bang!" The knocks on the door were deafening, and Yue Ya retreated quietly and quickly.

The vengeful spirit just knocked on the door and did not break into the house. Now Yue Ya can be sure that the house is a "safe zone", which is a protection mechanism for players.

The knocking on the door soon stopped. Yue Ya no longer cared about what was happening outside and went back to his room to sleep. The world is big, but sleep is the most important thing.

The next morning, he was awakened by the doorbell, which made him realize that he had forgotten to unplug the power last night.

Feifei had been very quiet last night until he woke up and came over to rub against him. Yueya yawned and picked up Feifei. He checked its water bowl and found only half a bowl of water left in it. It seemed that he was a good child who loved to drink water.

The doorbell continued to ring. He slowly opened the curtains and waited until the sun filled the entire house before walking towards the door. When he looked down, he found that the invitation that the ghost bride had stuffed last night was gone.

Even in broad daylight he did not open the door directly but looked through the peephole first.

The royal sister stood outside the door, looking unhappy.

Yueya opened the door and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The royal sister took off her makeup, and there were dark circles under her eyes. After only one night, the exquisite urban beauty was a little haggard after being tossed around by this crappy game. She said straight to the point: "Something happened, you go over and take a look."

Yujie was very nervous until she saw a little glutinous rice dumpling following Yueya's feet. Her gray eyes suddenly lit up: "You picked up a cat? It looks so cute. What kind of cat is this?"

Yue Ya lowered his eyes and noticed that the soles of Yu Jie's shoes were stained with blood, leaving a row of bloody footprints behind her. He probably guessed what happened and replied, "Little country cat, his name is Fei Fei."

Feifei let out a whimper, picked up Yueya's trouser leg, and blinked his big eyes with grievance, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the name of little cat.

"Okay, you are the fairy cat." Yueya smiled and picked up Feifei, rubbed her eyelashes that were wet with tears, and said to Yujie, "Lead the way."

The royal sister was completely attracted by Feifei. She took secret glances at it while leading the way, and her previous lethargy was gone.

The royal sister stopped in front of the barrier door and took a deep breath: "The situation inside is very bad, you should be prepared."

The strong smell of blood could be smelled through the door. Yue Ya said, "I can go in by myself."

Yu Jie heard his thoughtfulness and her eyes softened a lot: "I'm fine, let's go in together. Glasses is also in there, he said he encountered something last night and wanted us to listen together, so I went to call you."

Yue Ya nodded and pushed open the screen door. A bloody scene came into view. The floor of the corridor was covered with messy bloodstains, and there was no place to step. In the middle of the pool of blood, two corpses were lying. There were frozen expressions of fear on their faces, and their limbs were twisted and deformed, like toy dolls that had been destroyed by violence.

On the wall behind the corpse, there was a ferocious ghost face drawn in blood, with its sharp fangs pointed at the corpse, looking so lifelike, as if it would swallow the corpse in the next moment.

The young man with glasses was curled up at the end of the corridor, shaking all over. When he saw Yue Ya, he raised his head, and Yue Ya saw that his arms and neck were covered with black scratches. These scratches were of varying depths and were sunken into the flesh, which looked very strange.

“You’re here…” The young man with glasses opened his black lips, tears streaming from his bloodshot eyes. He took off his broken glasses and wiped the corner of his eyes: “Sorry, I lost control a little.”

It is difficult not to lose control in such an environment, and it can be seen that the royal sister has been holding back.

Yueya was very straightforward. She stepped on the blood and walked up to the young man with glasses: "You are not allergic to cat hair, right?"

The young man with glasses looked at the cute little cat in his arms and said in a daze: "Not allergic."

Yueya handed Feifei over and said, "Take the kitten into the house first. If you have anything to say, wait until I finish examining the body."

Feifei knew that his master had assigned him a task, so he obediently threw himself into the arms of the young man with glasses and meowed.

The soft little animal strangely calmed the bespectacled young man's mind. He stood up carefully and belatedly heard what Yue Ya was going to do. He said in shock: "You want to check the body?!"

Yueya nodded and motioned for him to go in quickly.

The lady was surprised and gave a thumbs up: "Your behavior is quite different from your appearance, cool."

She opened the door neatly and looked at Glasses: "You are in too bad a condition. Go in and rest first. I will stay and check with him."

Glasses knew that he was in a bad condition, so he took Fei Fei into the house and said, "Please call me if you need any help."

The corridor became quiet, and Yueya squatted in front of the corpse to observe it carefully.

The facial features of the two corpses were actually distorted and difficult to recognize, but Yue Ya recognized their identities based on some features. The thin one was the yellow-haired man who lived on the second floor, and the other was the fat man who lived on the third floor.

Looking at the wounds on Glasses’ body, you can tell that he also encountered a ghost last night. Why did the vengeful spirit choose these three people: the yellow-haired man, the fat man and the glasses?

Is it because they are all male? But as males, Yue Ya successfully rejected the wedding invitation last night. There must be other things in common between these three victims.

Yue Ya traced back and recalled what the ghost bride did when the elevator stopped on the second, third, and fourth floors respectively, and then he discovered that she had physical contact with these three players.

The ghost bride reminded the yellow-haired man that the elevator had arrived, and when her gauze skirt was wrapped around the suitcase, she held the fat man's arm. Later, she patted the man with glasses on the shoulder to congratulate them on their new home.

It was a very natural action. In that atmosphere, no one would pay special attention to such a trivial matter, but the ghost bride marked them as prey through such a small action.

Yue Ya found a stick and examined the bodies thoroughly without touching them, then found a totem behind the necks of the two men. The pattern was exactly the same as the ghost face on the wall, but it was covered by the hair and collar, and could not be found without careful observation.

Although the royal sister was very brave, she couldn't help staring at the corpse. She covered her churning stomach and said in a much hoarse voice: "Did you find anything?"

Seeing that she was about to vomit, Yue Ya threw away the stick and said, "Let's go in and talk."

When the two entered the house, the young man with glasses who was taking care of the cat immediately looked up and asked, "How is it?"

Yueya sat on the sofa, and Feifei immediately jumped into his arms. He stroked the cat's back from time to time, with thick eyelashes half drooping, and a look of carelessness and sleepiness on his face: "The couple in the elevator last night were the ghost couple, did you know that?"

The royal sister pointed to the huge dark circles under her eyes and said, "I dreamed about them last night, so I'm in such a bad state today."

The young man with glasses was reserved and tense, his hands clenched into fists: "I know, I received their invitation last night, and almost went to... that wedding banquet."

It was the first time that Yu Jie heard him say this. She was surprised and asked, "So that's why you have so many scars all over your body. Then how did you escape last night?"

"I was woken up by the doorbell late last night, and then I saw a ghost stuffing wedding invitations into my house. I didn't want to take them, but I took them under the spell of the ghost. Then the door opened, and I looked up to see the ghost bride standing at the door smiling at me. She forcibly dragged me to 405, and the injuries on my body were left at that time."

The young man with glasses was still trembling as he recalled his experience last night: "A wedding banquet was being held in Room 405. I saw many ghosts with blurry faces. My chaotic brain was awakened by the shock. I don't know where I got the courage from, but I bit the ghost bride. She angrily threw me against the wall. I remembered that I had a novice prop called 'wooden man', so I used it without thinking, and took the opportunity to run back home and escape from death..."

"Took a bite?" Yueya raised her eyelids and looked at him: "Open your mouth and take a look."

"What's wrong?" The young man with glasses opened his mouth in confusion.

When Yue Ya took a look, she was surprised to find that Yan Jing's teeth and tongue were all black, and their black throat looked like a chimney leading to the spleen and stomach.

"No wonder your lips are black, it turns out you ate the vengeful spirit," Yue Ya smiled nonchalantly, "Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Glasses smacked his lips and said dully, "It seems like I have lost consciousness. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me."

Yue Ya: "You chewed it well. If you hadn't recovered your willpower halfway through and entered that room, there would be three corpses lying in the corridor today."

The young man with glasses was terrified: "Actually, I fainted after returning to the house. When I woke up today and saw strange injuries all over my body, I remembered what happened last night. I wanted to ask about my companions, but I didn't expect to see such a horrible scene when I opened the door!"

The royal sister felt a little sympathetic towards the young man with glasses: "When he woke me up, he was shaking like a sieve, with red eyes, black lips and black marks all over his body. It really scared me."

Yue Ya waved to the young man with glasses and said, "Turn around and show the back of your neck."

The young man with glasses did as he was told and lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yueya found the half-disappeared ghost face mark on the back of his neck, took a photo and showed it to him, then said slowly:

"The ghost bride contacted you and the two dead players last night, leaving a hidden ghost mask mark on the back of your necks. This is her way of selecting her prey. The chosen prey cannot refuse the wedding invitation, and the specific manifestation is what you call being possessed by a ghost."

The young man with glasses widened his eyes: "So that's what happened! She patted my shoulder after we got off the elevator last night. Later I felt a little uncomfortable in my shoulder but didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect that she would target me at that time."

Yueya asked Sister Yu: "Did you receive the wedding invitation last night?"

Yujie said: "Someone rang the doorbell but I didn't leave the room all night."

Yue Ya nodded thoughtfully: "For safety reasons, it is best to avoid physical contact with NPCs."

The two players unconsciously regarded him as their backbone and slowly calmed down. The young man with glasses propped up his head and asked a soul-searching question: "What should we do now?"

The royal sister also looked confused and subconsciously looked at Yue Ya.

Yueya walked slowly and opened the door: "If you don't know what to do, just follow me."

The door opened wide and they were forced to face the bloody horror of the corridor once again.

Two miserable corpses lying in the corridor silently told the players that this game was bloody and extremely cruel. From the moment they entered the game, their heads were hanging on their belts. If they were not careful, they would end up in such a miserable situation.

This is the gaming world, but without the virtual death.

Even after taking a break, they were unable to adapt to the scene. The blood-covered corridor in front of them and the fear of the unknown made them stop at the door, unable to move forward.

Only Yueya walked forward fearlessly. As he walked, he stopped and looked back at his two companions: "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and catch up."

He stood in a pool of blood. The morning light at the end of the corridor shone on him, drawing a golden edge. His face, facing the light, was expressionless, like a quiet, clear tree growing upward.

When the two players saw this scene, they suddenly felt enlightened. Although the road ahead was difficult, there would always be someone who could keep up with the pace. They just needed to keep up!

The young man with glasses ignored the blood under his feet and quickly followed Yue Ya's footsteps: "Where are we going?"

A smile appeared on Yue Ya's lips: "Let's go eat and find some cat food."

The young man with glasses felt relieved and smiled: "It's good to find cat food. It sounds safe."
