Chapter 26 Nonsense
The sedan left very quickly, and in just a few blinks of an eye, it disappeared around the corner in front of the house.
When Li Ziyue reacted, his hand was still unconsciously stretched out of the window.
The cool raindrops stained his fingertips, and then turned into a few tiny "flames" that burned quietly.
Li Ziyue seemed to be unaware of anything.
There were two reasons why he was so shocked, one of which was that the bride had a gloomy face.
Another reason...
She wore a red dress and a silver hairpin on her head...
The bride has both elements, and the girl he "kills" in the prophetic scene also wears a red dress and a hairpin.
What's the meaning……
The person he was about to “kill”… was Zhang Lian? !
Sun Yuancheng was also stunned. In fact, he was not the only one. All the players present were shocked.
Sun Yuancheng leaned against the wall and murmured to himself: "What a beautiful girl, she looks a bit like the girl Linlin whom I had a crush on when I was a child..."
Li Ziyue was stunned when he heard this.
It’s not like Sun Yuancheng had never seen Zhang Lian before, but his reaction... Does Zhang Lian look like the girl Sun Yuancheng had a crush on when he was a child?
I haven't heard Sun Yuancheng mention it in the primary pseudo-human copy.
Li Ziyue felt that his brain was slowing down, which was rare.
Zhang Lian, who exactly are you?
He forced himself to stop his random thoughts and placed his cold fingers on his temples, rubbing them gently.
Now is not the time to think about that.
Unexpectedly, before he could react, a suppressed quarrel broke out in another corner.
Fortunately, Li Ziyue had extraordinary hearing and heard the quarrel between the two people clearly.
"Are you looking for death? Why are you drooling over my wife?!"
What wife? Isn’t it… Zhang Lian… or his wife?!
Li Ziyue was so shocked by the news that his breathing almost stopped. He slowly reflected on whether his brain was damaged by the wind blowing in from outside.
"What? Don't you even look at yourself? How could you possibly marry such a beautiful wife? That's hilarious."
"You bastard, why don't you curse me again?"
"What's wrong with scolding you? I'm scolding you. I've always disliked you..."
Li Ziyue's eyelashes drooped, and he calmed down at this moment.
He repeatedly pondered the reactions of the two people, Sun Yuancheng's abnormality, and the changes in the expressions of the people around him, and finally came to a relatively conventional answer - the bride is different in everyone's eyes.
He looked at Sun Yuancheng and said abruptly: "Zhang Lian."
"Ah?" Sun Yuancheng was confused. "What? Brother Zhang Lian... is here too?"
Sun Yuancheng inherited the memory of the pseudo-person in the previous copy and did not forget that Zhang Lian was one year younger than him.
Judging from the reaction, it should be.
Li Ziyue made up an excuse and said, "No, I just thought of him when I saw you. After all, we three stayed together for a long time in the last instance."
“Oh…” Sun Yuancheng squinted his eyes, looking frivolous, “Oh, I understand, I understand everything. I noticed something was wrong with you guys in the last instance…”
His words suddenly got stuck in his throat - Li Ziyue looked at him with a smile.
"You seem to have a good memory."
"Ah..." Sun Yuancheng immediately became stunned, "It's so strange, I can't remember anything all of a sudden, Zhang... Zhang face? Zhang Lian? Who is that? What a magical name... Oh, I'm from Sichuan, I can't tell the difference between L and N."
Li Ziyue smiled sincerely and did not continue to embarrass Sun Yuancheng.
He was not panicked after he figured out the reason, after all, that was not the real Zhang Lian. However, there were many players present who did not understand and immediately crowded to the window, wanting to take another look at the sedan chair.
The middle-aged man with a buzz cut muttered to himself in annoyance: "Damn it...what's wrong with my wife...what the hell is going on...No, I have to go save her..."
Li Ziyue raised his head slightly. The middle-aged man with a crew cut was the one who was called ugly among the two people who had been arguing with each other earlier.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious, scratching his head and head, and wanted to run out of the room, but he stopped when he looked at the heavy rain outside and the zombies surrounding the edge of the village.
There's no way to get out.
Several villagers huddled in the corner of the room were eating steaming animal meat from a bowl. They buried their shriveled faces in the bowl, their hands trembling as they steadied the edge of the bowl, dry yellow sand stuck in the cracks of their black fingernails.
The gravy slid down the edge of the bowl, their Adam's apples rose and fell, and the slurping sounds suddenly rang out in the room.
The man with a crew cut was even more annoyed, but he was not stupid, so he could only hold back his anger for the time being.
The broth in the pot had been licked clean, but the old woman was still scraping the bottom of the pot with a steel spoon. A series of unpleasant "sizzling" sounds came towards her, but the old woman began to sing.
Her tone suddenly became unusually young and kind, and she looked at the dead meat in the pot as if she was looking at her own lovely child.
"My head is howling..."
"My middle is waiting..."
"My bottom is shrinking..."
"My shell is burned..."
"My inner layer is sprouting..."
Sun Yuancheng got goose bumps all over his body because of the unusual tone. He swallowed nervously and unconsciously grabbed the hem of Li Ziyue's shirt with one hand, and then he felt a little relieved.
The old woman's head shook slowly, with a faint smile on her face as she called out.
"Little child...little child...little..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and the old woman seemed to have noticed something, and her expression suddenly changed.
There was a crisp sound of "clang".
The copper spoon in her hand suddenly fell to the bottom of the pot, and everyone's heart trembled violently with the huge noise.
Then, I heard a voice coming from outside the house——
"Bang!"
No one knew what that sound was better than Li Ziyue.
This wasn't the first time he had heard this voice.
That was... the sound of the bell he heard when he was standing at the murder scene.
The sound was dull and extremely loud, and it could be transmitted so far away even through the thick rain curtain. Then, everyone felt a tremor under their feet.
“Earthquake?!”
Someone exhaled.
The dim old lamp hanging on the top of the house began to rotate, the voltage fluctuated, the light suddenly brightened and dimmed, but the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
The whole world was shaking madly, and everyone felt a dizzying sensation that made them want to vomit. What came to their ears were not only the sound of bells, rain, and crazy shouting and whistling.
There was also the wail of something huge breaking out of the ground.
The whole house seemed to be rolling on the ground. Li Ziyue grabbed the window sill. The already broken glass was now like a candle in the wind, shattered into countless tiny sharp knives, and was forced into the room by the strong wind outside.
The house was unstable, and the rain lingering outside rushed into every crack in the house. Many people were covered in rain to varying degrees. Sun Yuancheng's face seemed to be sprayed with a toy water gun, but he didn't know whether the remaining water stains were from his own crying or from the rain outside.
Li Ziyue stroked his frowning brows with his fingertips.
Stay steady.
There was a rumbling sound outside, resounding through the sky, but everyone could clearly tell that it was not thunder.
Li Ziyue narrowed his eyes and looked out through the window - a dark shadow that seemed to have no end was rising from the ground at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
Rain and soil residues rolled down one after another, and the black shadow kept poking towards the sky, as if it had sunk into the bottommost cloud layer. Everyone's heart was beating fast, and they stared at the strange scene intently.
I don't know how long it took before the sound gradually stopped, and then there was another "dong" sound of the bell.
At this moment, Li Ziyue finally understood where the bell sound came from - he looked up at the dark sky, and at the highest point, an object hidden in the gray-black clouds was shaking.
He couldn't see it clearly, but he vaguely felt that the object didn't seem to be a whole piece, but a patchwork of countless things...
An inexplicable shudder arose from my heart.
The house finally returned to calm, and the rain water that had been pouring in was scooped out by several villagers with shovels. However, before the players leaning against the corner of the house could catch their breath, they saw the old woman, who had been calm and composed and even in the mood to eat, suddenly kneel down in front of everyone with a plop.
This move left everyone scratching their heads.
"What are you doing..." Sun Yuancheng muttered softly.
The old woman lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen for the time being. All we could see was that her curled up body was trembling, and her hands were covering her face.
A sad sobbing sound was heard: "Please... please everyone..."
"The evil god is coming... the evil god..."
"It wants to eat the bride..."
Hearing this, some people froze in their places, thinking back to the bride they had seen before, and became more and more anxious.
Someone murmured, "Does this mean we should go rescue the bride?"
“No,” the old woman shook her head slowly. Her voice was lost in the rain, a little blurry and cold. “I beg you all… to kill the bride.”
"What do you mean?" Sun Yuancheng was stunned. "Didn't she say that the evil god was going to eat the bride? Why did she want us to kill him? The bride would die anyway..."
Li Ziyue said nothing.
The old woman seemed to know the doubts in everyone's hearts: "The bride was already insane the moment she was chosen by the evil god. There is no cure. She can only marry the evil god and be eaten by him."
"If the bride is killed by us, her soul will be purified and live forever, but if she is eaten by the evil god..."
The old woman stretched out a wrinkled hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "She will become the zombie that everyone saw before, and live forever with such an ugly face..."
"how so……"
"What she meant by this is... are those zombies on the mountain the brides eaten by the evil god? But aren't there both male and female zombies? What's going on?"
"Save? Kill? But..."
The crowd was talking about it. Sun Yuancheng poked Li Ziyue at the side and said, "Even though he will turn into a zombie, but... I can't do it. You may not know the bride. The bride looks a lot like the girl I liked when I was a child. I... Oh, I..."
Li Ziyue shook his head: "The bride looks different in everyone's eyes."
"Ah?" Sun Yuancheng was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized, "Then it is even more impossible for the player to kill the bride."
Li Ziyue still shook his head. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard the system prompt sound for a task.
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the main quest "Rescue the Bride - Thousand-Handed Guanyin"]
[Mission Difficulty: Two Stars (The bachelor who wishes to remain anonymous looks up and says: Ah… save the bride… what do you mean? Can you save her and make her my wife?)]
[Task requirements: Bring the bride...]
The system suddenly jammed, and the information it spit out in the next few seconds was replaced by a series of unclear electrical sounds.
Li Ziyue frowned slightly, then listened again and found that the system had returned to normal.
[Task Reward: 8000 Points]
This is another very generous reward. The last person who received such a generous reward would have had grass ten meters high on his grave.
