Wang Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Whether it works or not, let's give it a try."
In this situation, we can only try our best, even if it seems hopeless.
The two gripped each other's arms tightly and closed their eyes in tension.
After closing their eyes, although they could no longer see, their senses became heightened. The sounds of gongs and drums, accompanied by crying, grew closer and closer, like demonic chants. Pieces of paper money fell from mid-air, landing on them. The eerie wind blew even faster, and the two almost lost their footing.
Even more terrifying, they felt surrounded as the ghosts approached them, reaching out to touch their bodies. Those hands were icy cold, and the ghosts breathed coldly into their ears and faces.
In that instant, they felt as if they had fallen into a dark sea, their bodies entangled by countless seaweed, suffocating and unable to breathe, their hearts seemingly stopping.
Time became incredibly difficult to pass; each second felt like an eternity.
The two had never experienced such an extremely terrifying moment before; their very souls felt as if they were about to shatter.
They didn't know how much time had passed, but the noise around them suddenly stopped, the eerie wind dissipated, and the ghosts surrounding them seemed to have disappeared.
Gu Shaoyu felt a little less oppressed. He couldn't help but wonder if the ghosts who accompanied the bride and the ghosts who attended the funeral had already passed away and could now open their eyes.
He took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was no longer on the road, but was wearing a bright red wedding robe and a red veil, sitting in a bridal sedan chair.
He was stunned.
Holy crap, what's going on?
How could he be in the bridal sedan chair, dressed as a bride?
He anxiously tried to lift the sedan curtain, wanting to escape, but the doors and windows of the sedan were sealed tightly, and no matter how much he pounded on them, he couldn't get out.
Is he being treated as a ghost bride and sent to marry a ghost?
He was devastated.
"I'm not the bride, let me out, let me out!"
He shouted anxiously, and at that moment, a cold skeletal hand reached out from behind him and placed on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a black skull behind him.
The skull threatened menacingly, "Stop making noise, or I'll eat you up."
"Ah, a ghost!"
Gu Shaoyu screamed, his vision went black, and he fainted.
On the other side.
Like Gu Shaoyu, Wang Hao, seeing that there was no more movement around him, assumed that the ghosts and monsters had passed. He opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that he was lying in a coffin.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! How did I end up in a coffin?"
He pounded on the coffin lid in terror, but it was nailed shut and he couldn't budge it an inch no matter how hard he pounded.
"I'm not dead! Let me out! Let me out!"
He screamed in terror.
My heart is filled with despair.
Oh my god, this is it, we're doomed.
He was taken into the coffin, but what about Gu Shaoyu? Where did he go?
...
The next afternoon.
Kyoto University campus.
"Did you guys see that video on the campus forum? Chu Yu actually beat Gu Shaoyu and his group to a pulp. She even knows how to use talismans, and she knocked Gu Shaoyu unconscious with one. That's too weird."
"Chu Yu seems to have grown up in a Taoist temple, so he probably learned Taoist magic."
"She knocked someone out with just one talisman. Her magic is amazing! I thought she was just an ordinary student. I didn't expect her to know magic. Luckily, I didn't offend her before, or I would have been in big trouble."
...
In the classroom, a group of students gathered together, talking animatedly. Suddenly, someone reminded them, "Chu Yu is here, stop talking."
The chatter abruptly ceased, and everyone turned to look at the doorway, where Chu Yu walked in carrying books.
Upon seeing her, everyone retreated in fear, keeping their distance from her.
Chu Yu glanced at them coldly and found a seat.
Yang Yiyi quickly came over to her and said, "Chu Yu, have you checked the school forum?"
Chu Yu shook her head: "No."
Yang Yiyi urged, "Then hurry up and take a look, something's happened to you."
Chu Yu picked up her phone and went to the school forum. There was a trending post titled: "[Shocking! The school bully was beaten up by a junior girl!]"
When Chu Yu clicked on it, she saw that someone had posted a video of her fighting with Gu Shaoyu and his group yesterday on the forum.
Upon seeing the video, Chu Yu's expression darkened.
Yang Yiyi said urgently, "Many people have seen this video and know that you and Gu Shaoyu don't get along, and they also know that you know Taoist magic."
Chu Yu snorted coldly: "It seems someone is deliberately causing trouble."
At this moment, several policemen walked in, and one of them asked, "Who is Chu Yu?"
Chu Yu stood up: "It's me."
The policeman said, "Gu Shaoyu has disappeared. You had contact with him yesterday. Please come with us to the police station to make a statement."
These words caused an uproar at the scene.
Gu Shaoyu has disappeared?!
Chu Yu clicked her tongue, walked over to them and said, "Okay, I'll go to the police station with you now."
As they watched them leave, the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
"Gu Shaoyu has disappeared. What happened?"
"The police took Chu Yu away. Could this be related to her?"
"I've heard that some Taoist priests practice evil arts and like to use the blood of young boys and girls to sacrifice to the gods. Could it be that Chu Yu kidnapped Gu Shaoyu to practice evil arts?"
"Oh, how could this happen? Chu Yu usually seems like a good person, she wouldn't do something like this, would she?"
"You can know a person's face but not their heart; who can truly know?"
