Chapter 58
At noon, all the guests of the Dong family were invited by the housekeeper to have lunch in the small side hall.
Firstly, it is to ensure the safety of the players, and secondly, it saves the convenience of Butler Dong so that he doesn't have to make trips to deliver the players.
When Yi Tu arrived, the players had almost all sat down in order. Song Jingchen spotted him and waved at him.
Xiao Song specially reserved a seat for him next to Jiang Hanyu. After thinking about it, Yi Tu sat down.
"Bai Yan and the others haven't arrived yet?" Yi Tu looked at the two empty seats next to Hai Ling and picked up the chopsticks.
Song Jingchen shook his head. "I didn't see them when I left, but those two were inseparable, so nothing should happen to them."
Yitu said nothing and crushed the mapo tofu on the plate in front of him with a chopstick.
Jiang Hanyu tilted his head to look at him.
Yitu was not in a hurry. He took another chopstick and the pieces broke into even more horrible pieces.
Fortunately, at this time, no one noticed his clumsy behavior except Song Jingchen and Jiang Hanyu who were sitting next to him.
Just when Yitu was unconvinced and was about to pick up a piece, Xiao Song considerately handed him a white porcelain spoon.
"Brother, use this."
Yitu felt relieved and took the spoon.
"Thank you, Xiao Song. Xiao Song is so nice."
Song Jingchen smiled embarrassedly and was about to say something when the man next to him suddenly moved his chopsticks.
Yitu had already scooped out all the broken tofu from the dish and was about to mix it when a whole piece of intact tofu fell into his bowl the next second.
Yitu: “?”
He raised his head in confusion, and happened to meet Jiang Hanyu's gaze, which was slightly disgusted but also caring for the clumsy people.
"Why eat it when it's broken into pieces? Eat it whole." The man frowned.
"You..." Do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?
However, before Yi Tu could finish his words, Jiang Hanyu answered immediately, fearing that he would have some misunderstanding.
"I'm happy to help, you're welcome."
Yitu: “…” Thank you.
Song Jingchen, who had already prepared a bowl of rice mixed with tofu, looked at Yi Tu and then at Jiang Hanyu, and couldn't help staring.
What's wrong with tofu rice?! Aside from the appearance, it's incredibly delicious!
What he didn't know was that the direction of the players' conversation in the interactive area of the card field suddenly changed.
Anonymous Player 423: ??? This is tofu? Isn't this just couples' dog food? Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!
Anonymous player 579: Wow, little Song Bao is so cute, that glaring eye and that angry little face, I love it!
Anonymous player 752: Hahahaha, maybe this pair of male friends are good brothers. After all, boyfriends don’t speak so directly. (doghead.jpg)
Anonymous player 564: Damn, that makes so much sense hahahahaha. And the handsome guy’s quick response seems like he’s afraid of being misunderstood. If I were his spouse, I really want to slap him hahahaha.
Anonymous player 575: Oh, don’t dislike it now, you’ll be really good in the future, handsome guy.
Anonymous player 863: Wow, I feel like they didn't do anything, I just think they're a good match? Who are the two people next to Xiao Song? I want to steal their horse...
Anonymous player 964: Since they are spouses, let's see if they are on the spouse bond list. The two of them should not be ranked too low.
Anonymous player 758: Actually, there's no need to hide. They can bring Xiao Song through the card field, so their level must be similar to Huasan, or even higher than Huasan...
Anonymous player 995: In the same circle? But Huasan’s circle is so huge, he’s been in so many teams, and his attitude changes all the time (bitter smile)
Anonymous player 1034: Could they be one of the thrones? But it doesn't look like it.
Anonymous player 1231: Can you please stop paying attention to this? Even if they do find out, what does it have to do with us? You'll never encounter them even if you die playing. It's better to focus on the plot of the card game.
Anonymous Player 476: .....You think everyone's like you? Intermediate level can only be intermediate level? LOL.
Anonymous Player 872: Um, those two haven't arrived yet, how strange.
Anonymous player 977: Is something going to happen? ? Oh my god, something really happened!
When everyone had almost finished eating, Bai Yan and the other two still hadn't come over. Hai Ling couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't these two planning to eat? They're still dragging their feet and not coming."
Ying Ying, who was sitting next to him, paused for a moment and said, "When I went out, I seemed to see the two of them go to Chu Sichi's room."
Yitu couldn't help but frown and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"What are they doing in Chu Sichi's room?"
Ying Ying shook her head. "I don't know...but around ten o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper delivered two sets of wedding clothes for the ghost marriage to Chu Sichi's room."
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of the others instantly became subtle.
"Ghost marriage attire attracts ghosts!" The mustache uncle was the first to stand up and shouted at Ying Ying with a bit of dissatisfaction:
"Such an important thing, why are you telling me now?"
Ying Ying also just reacted and said with a grim expression:
"How would I know that wedding attire attracts ghosts? Besides, those two are going to run away, are we really going to care about their lives?"
After she said this, she found that everyone else at the table stood up.
Yi Tu didn't waste any more time talking to Ying Ying and immediately walked towards the east wing.
But Hai Ling couldn't help but sneer before leaving, "Did you come into the card room with a pig's brain?"
"If Chu Sichi dies, you will be his groom and marry him to the underworld!"
"It's hard to distinguish between the primary and the secondary."
After cursing, Hai Ling turned around and walked towards the east wing without caring about Ying Ying's completely blue face.
Everyone knows this card game. The competition between players is secondary. The main thing is that they must complete the mandatory tasks of the card game, which are indeed a bit tricky.
Once Chu Sichi died, the wedding could not be held due to the lack of a groom.
Everyone knew what was happening. When it came to Ying Ying, she was clearly unable to leave, but she was still worrying about her ranking among players.
When Yi Tu and others rushed to the east wing, Chu Sichi's door was closed and could not be opened from the outside.
Jiang Hanyu tried to kick the door with considerable force, but after the bolt creaked, the room remained completely silent, without any sound.
Taishu tore through the window paper, revealing the white silk covering it.
The door was sealed tightly from the inside with white silk. Just when Tai Shu wanted to take out his weapon to try it out, a fast black blade pierced through it instantly, leaving a hole.
The door opened, revealing a dark room where no one knew what was going on.
Jiang Hanyu was the first to step in, followed closely by Taishu.
Just as Yi Tu raised her foot, she suddenly thought of something and stopped Song Jingchen who wanted to follow her in.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Song Jingchen was confused.
Yitu: "Go find Steward Dong and tell him that something has happened to Young Master Chu and ask Madam Hui to come to the East Wing immediately. Everyone is here."
Song Jingchen was still a little confused, "Does Madam Hui have to come?"
"Yes, she will come." Yitu nodded. "Go quickly, it's fast. Thank you for your hard work."
At Yi Tu's urging, Song Jingchen ran to the south wing to find Butler Dong.
As soon as Song Jingchen left, Hai Ling arrived.
He glanced at Song Jingchen's departing back with a half-smile on his face.
"What's the point of this? Can we protect his life by sending him away?"
Yitu smiled faintly, "I just asked him for a favor."
Hai Ling narrowed her eyes, "What can I help you with?"
However, before Yitu could answer, his expression changed slightly.
"Bai Yan's smell is gone."
"The female is Bai Yan." Hai Ling added.
Yitu frowned. Hailing could smell the scent of everyone and identify them at the first moment.
But if the player's scent disappears, either Bai Yan is dead or Bai Yan is possessed by Dong Haoyue.
The two looked at each other and immediately stepped into the house.
The moment I stepped in, an indescribable feeling of oppression came over me, as if something was being separated from me.
Just when Yi Tu hadn't figured out what this strange feeling was, Hai Ling beside him suddenly changed his expression and said in a lost voice:
"This thing can block the player's skill cards!"
Yitu was stunned and immediately opened the game panel.
Sure enough, his Adao spiritual body was in a gray state, and the scarlet eyes blocked it, looking at Yi Tu coldly.
Without the blessing of the skill card, Hai Ling could no longer smell any scent at all, and he was no different from an ordinary person.
Inside the house, with all the windows sealed with white silk, it was dark and somewhat scary.
A woman in a bright red wedding dress sat in front of the dressing table. She seemed not to hear the voice of the visitor and was just silently drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror.
There was no expression on her pale and bloodless face, but her eyes were bloodshot.
Bai Yan was possessed by Dong Haoyue, but Bai Yan and Chu Sichi were nowhere to be seen in the house.
Tai Shu and Jiang Hanyu were standing not far away, the former with a vigilant look on his face and the latter with a slight frown.
Yitu walked over quietly and asked in a low voice, "Where are Chu Sichi and Bai Yan?"
Jiang Hanyu glanced at him and then pointed above their heads.
Yi Tu was stunned and looked up suddenly. He saw a huge object like a silkworm pupa, wrapped in white silk, hanging on the eaves. He didn't know whether it was Bai Yan or Chu Sichi.
Dong Haoyue was applying lipstick, and her long, pale nails were also dyed red. She looked extremely serious, as if she was going to get married at the next moment.
And Yitu had no doubt that after she finished all this, she would turn around and deal them a fatal blow.
"Go call Madam Hui." Jiang Hanyu looked at Yi Tu and said.
"I've already asked Xiao Song to go." Yi Tu glanced at him.
A hint of surprise appeared on the man's face, but it quickly disappeared.
This guy is making rapid progress. Jiang Hanyu's obscure gaze swept over Yi Tu, then he curled the corners of his lips in an ambiguous way.
The resentment in Dong Haoyue comes from Madam Hui who killed her. If Madam Hui wants to get rid of Dong Haoyue, she will probably not escape death.
But Yi Tu was certain that Madam Hui would come, simply because she also wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Dong Haoyue's vengeful spirit.
Otherwise, Dong Haoyue would keep killing people and force her to have no hearts to eat, which would be really unbearable for her.
What's more, Dong Qingshan also needs a heart.
And it is not impossible for Madam Hui to destroy Dong Haoyue's vengeful spirit by relying on the heart-eater behind her.
But she didn't know that the method to break Ahri's existence was already in Yitu's hands.
Even if skill cards cannot be used, players' weapons can still be released normally.
Lu Nan held a black crescent sickle in his hand and tried to remove the silkworm cocoon above his head.
However, just as he made a move, a white silk appeared from nowhere behind him and wrapped around him as if it had life.
Lu Nan's face changed. This thing wrapped his sickle tightly. Not to mention cutting it open, the weapon couldn't move at all.
The moment Jiang Hanyu turned around, a black sharp blade shot out from behind him and ran straight towards Lu Nan.
It was just a blink of an eye, and before Lu Nan could even see clearly what it was, the white silk wrapped around his sickle broke with a sound.
He was very surprised and immediately swung his sickle to cut off the silkworm pupae.
Yitu dodged a little, and the heavy object fell to the ground with a dull thud.
The person wrapped like a mummy in a pile of white silk was Bai Yan.
"Bai Yan, where is Chu Sichi?"
Hai Ling pulled the man up, and Bai Yan was almost wrapped to death.
He gasped for breath, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the woman sitting in front of the dressing table.
The woman has already put on her makeup, looking like a bride waiting to get married.
She smiled in the mirror, and a long crack appeared on her mouth.
Yitu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"Chu Sichi...is in her body." Bai Yan said while panting.
"Quickly find a way to get Dong Haoyue out of Bai Yan's body."
“Chu Sichi is in Bai Yan’s body!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Hai Ling said in surprise:
"What?"
They all thought that Chu Sichi was hidden by Dong Haoyue, but they never expected that the person who hid Chu Sichi was Bai Yan.
"That means there are two people in Bai Yan's body now?" Lu Nan was a little confused when he said this.
"No, one person and one ghost."
"No, how did you do that?"
No one could answer him. They could only watch Dong Haoyue control Bai Yan's body and turn around little by little.
Behind her was a distorted black void, and no one could see her face clearly.
Seeing the violent resentment surrounding Dong Haoyue and just as he was about to kill him, Song Jingchen's urgent voice was heard outside the door.
"Brother, I invited Madam Hui here."
Yitu was delighted, he came at the right time.
As soon as Song Jingchen and Madam Hui stepped into the room, the door was blocked by white silk and it was pitch black.
And that red shadow had appeared in front of them at some point.
Yitu was startled and couldn't help but step aside.
Dong Haoyue stared at Madam Hui who had just entered the room, his whole body filled with resentment.
Madam Hui's face remained calm, and she even smiled:
"Xiaoyue, you look really good in this dress."
"I specially asked Qingshan to prepare it for you, but unfortunately you passed away before you had the chance to put it on."
Yi Tu had an idea. Perhaps Madam Hui had the opportunity to murder Dong Haoyue by tricking her into the room under the pretext of trying on wedding dresses and then strangling her to death.
Dong Haoyue remained silent, but did not take any action either, as if he had some concerns.
But Madam Hui continued:
"Xiaoyue, I know you resent me. We could have gotten along well and become a real family..."
"But why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"
A ruthless look flashed across Mrs. Dong's face. "Those servants disappeared, so why bother you with their whereabouts?"
"You are so smart, so kind and gentle. The master likes you, Master Chu and Miss Du also love you, and even the servants love you..."
Mrs. Dong laughed as she spoke, "But look at what you have done now. You killed so many people to force me to death."
She pointed at the group of people standing in the room, her smile becoming more and more arrogant:
"You are a living Bodhisattva in life, and a great evil ghost after death!"
"It's all because of you, Dong Haoyue. These people will die today!"
Yi Tu couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Madam Hui wanted to kill not only Dong Haoyue's vengeful spirit, but also the guests like them who already knew the secret.
After Madam Hui finished speaking, a pitch-black shadow walked out from behind her.
"It's time to make an understanding, even if you are unwilling to do so." Madam Hui was tired. "I will give you a grand wedding, and you can go without any regrets."
After she finished speaking, the shadow behind her suddenly appeared with a grin.
When Dong Haoyue saw this thing, he hesitated for a moment, but the ghost and the demon soon started to bite each other.
In just a moment, Bai Yan's body was cut open by that thing.
When Bai Yan saw this, he couldn't help but wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Lu Nan.
"What are you doing?"
"Bai Yan! Bai Yan can't die!" Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the indifferent people behind him, gritting his teeth and said:
"Chu Sichi is inside Bai Yan's body. You can ignore Bai Yan's life or death, but do you also not care about Chu Sichi's life or death?"
"He is trapped in Bai Yan's body and will suffocate to death soon!"
"We also want to save her, but Dong Haoyue is attached to her, and the two are fighting fiercely. How can we save her?" Hai Ling frowned.
What's more, in just a few seconds, Dong Haoyue was already at a disadvantage.
After all, she was borrowing a human body, and noon was the time when her breath was the weakest. Even if the doors and windows were sealed, she was still no match for the monster.
"You can't kill me! Little girl, save your breath!" said the heart-eater with a smile.
Bai Yan's face looked extremely ugly. He stared at Bai Yan, who was badly injured. He wanted to attack, but his skill cards were completely blocked.
Can I just wait to die?
"It has no heart."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
After hearing this, the heart-stealing thief suddenly screamed like crazy, "You're talking nonsense! I have a heart, I have a heart!"
Dong Haoyue seized the opportunity when it lost control and was forced to retreat step by step by the woman, almost failing to save Madam Hui behind him.
But Yitu continued, "Your heart has already been given to Madam Hui, so where does the second heart come from?"
"You are just deceiving yourself, you beast."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ahri let out a desperate scream, a large amount of blood spurted out from its pointed mouth, and its body shrank instantly.
"Ali!" Madam Hui looked at the scene in disbelief and fell to the ground.
At this time, the little thing had shrunk to only 40 centimeters in length, and its body was still twitching.
"My law has been broken...broken..."
"Hui...Xiaohui..." Let's go back to the mountain.
Before it died, it called out Madam Hui's name, but the words it had not yet spoken were hastily drowned out in its throat.
"No!"
Madam Hui cried out in despair. She held Ali's body in her arms, but the two bodies were gradually getting colder, and she could not provide any warmth at all.
Dong Haoyue stood in front of them, his face covered in greasy and horrible blood.
Madam Hui grew old and ugly in front of everyone, and her body shape even became androgynous.
She looked up and met Dong Haoyue's gaze, making "ah ah" sounds, not knowing what she wanted to say.
Dong Haoyue finally spoke, but his voice sounded so empty and helpless.
"I killed so many people. It seemed like it was right, but also wrong."
"I can't remember... I was supposed to go on a date with someone..."
After hearing this, Madam Hui smiled silently, and her wrinkled face seemed to be melting and rotting.
Her screams disappeared, but she took her last breath and used all her strength to shout out a vague syllable.
“Du…”
Dong Haoyue's whole body trembled, and the next second Bai Yan's body fell to the ground.
The white silk around disappeared, and the sunlight shone in again, dispelling the haze in the room.
Madam Hui turned into ashes, and with the ashes was a civet cat with black fur.
Its two furry little paws were clenched tightly against its chest, as if it was covering its heart, or as if it was holding a heart.
