The gray-white Gothic church stands on the top of the mountain, with its sharp spires piercing the sky. The faint bell rings for the thirteenth time, and the stained glass windows reveal a psychedelic glow. The delicate boy is dressed up as a bride, standing in the light and shadow at the junction of light and dark.
An evil wedding is about to begin...
Su Yi was forced to wear a hollow wedding dress with his entire back exposed. Layers of intricate lace wrapped around his slender waist. The luxurious skirt studded with pearls bloomed like a white peony. When the breeze blew past, his snow-white naked back trembled slightly.
"Have you chosen yet?"
Su Yi was startled by a man's cold voice behind her. She turned her head and her white veil fluttered gently, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
The dark eyes were like those of an ignorant little animal, with a hint of doubt in their eyes:
——What to choose?
Where is this?
A transparent light screen pops up in front of you:
【Welcome to the thriller script killing】
[Player Su has also bound the character card: Bride]
[Character Setting - Bride Su]:
[Your family is on the verge of bankruptcy, and you are forced to marry into the wealthy Bai family and become the wife of a disabled young master. Today is your unfortunate wedding.]
Su Yi frowned slightly, a little confused. She should have been wearing a hospital gown and undergoing a heart transplant surgery...
[We are sorry to inform you that you have died during the operation. Because you have a strong desire to survive and meet the qualifications to participate in the thriller script-killing game, you have automatically become a script-killing player.]
[If you can solve the case and pass the level, you will win a generous gold coin reward. The gold coins can be used to purchase a resurrection opportunity and you can regain your life]
[However, this script contains highly dangerous murder plots, and there are murderous intentions at every step, please be aware of this.]
[Your current level: 0; Case solving rate: 0; Gold coins: 0; Please do your best! ]
Su Yi: ...
After knowing that he was dead, Su Yi pursed his lips, feeling a little sad, but not surprised.
He was born with a heart disease and experienced several life-and-death experiences on the hospital bed. He finally got a matching heart at the age of 19. The doctor told him that the success rate of heart transplant surgery was only 40%.
The moment he lay on the operating table, Su Yi was mentally prepared. He prepared for the worst while hoping for the best outcome.
It turns out that he might not really be lucky enough to have a healthy and good life.
The heart surgery failed, and the failure was so complete that he died during the operation.
According to this strange light screen, if he doesn't play this strange script-killing game well, he will really die and will not be able to be resurrected.
Su Yi asked silently in his heart: "Excuse me, can I have a healthy body after resurrection?"
A line of text immediately appeared on the screen:
[Yes, if you have enough gold coins, you can buy "Resurrection" and "Healthy Body". Whatever you want, you can get it here.]
[The premise is that you can survive successfully, solve the case and earn gold coins. Good luck! ]
The light screen disappeared with a whoosh.
Su Yi's biggest dream since childhood was to be as healthy as a normal person. If this script-killing game could really help him realize his dream...
He lowered his head and began to carefully observe his outfit to see if he could gather some information that would be useful in solving the case.
Wearing the bride's white lace sleeves, Su Yi keenly noticed that his ring finger was empty, which meant that he had not yet taken the marriage vows and the wedding ceremony had not yet been held, which meant that he had not officially married the disabled young master.
Looking down, below the waist is an exaggerated floor-length skirt, and inside the skirt...
Su Yi suddenly felt that his legs seemed to be forced to wear... stockings.
——There is a delicate touch when rubbed, and the middle thigh is tightly embraced by the lace edge of the stockings, which is a bit itchy.
After realizing this, Su Yi couldn't help but blush. He had never... worn such a full set of women's clothes.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Suddenly, a man's cold voice sounded. Su Yi raised his head and saw a row of men sitting in the spacious church.
They were all wearing black suits with a blood-red rose pinned to their collars. Their clothes and attire were exactly the same, and they all had eerie masks on their faces.
The masks are different, some have skull faces, some have werewolf faces, and they are all scary without exception.
The church was too big and there were no lights on. Only the stained glass windows let in light, and the rest of the place was dim. The masks floating in the darkness stared straight at Su Yi.
The man who was talking to him sat closest to him, wearing a black bat mask with a gold-rimmed edge, revealing only a thin lip, with a cool and noble temperament. He folded his hands on the table, clearly sitting, with a relaxed posture, but exuding an irresistible majesty.
The light from the stained glass in the church happened to fall on the red rose on his collar. The blood-red petals scattered colorful light, revealing a strange beauty.
A light screen popped up next to the man, showing Su Yi the character settings:
[The Third Young Master of the Bai Family, your first love during your school days]
[The eldest son of the Bai family is disabled, the second son is missing, and the third son officially becomes the heir to the wealthy family]
[But when you were a student, you knew nothing about his wealthy family background. You despised the poor and loved the rich. After graduation, you dumped him as a poor man with no money.]
[This time, the Third Young Master specially put aside his busy business and rushed back just to attend your wedding]
[You are about to marry his disabled elder brother, and your relationship will change from first love to an uncle-sister-in-law relationship that is difficult to talk about]
Su Yi: "..."
This script-killing scene is so... melodramatic.
At this time, the third young master folded his hands and looked at Su Yi in front of him through the mask.
With her head lowered and her cheeks slightly red, she looks like she is shy. The wedding dress looks gorgeous on her. The white lace is tranquil, beautiful, pure and flawless.
His snow-white naked back was exposed to the sight of all the men, his thin butterfly bones were inviting to be touched, and his whole body exuded a lovable aura.
——But she wants to marry that disabled loser.
The Third Young Master's Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt a little irritated. He suppressed it and stared at Su Yi coldly:
"Have you decided, who to choose?"
The light screen did not pop up a corresponding explanation, perhaps it was necessary to interact with the characters to advance the plot. Su Yi was hesitant in his heart. This Third Young Master was at least an old acquaintance of his. He plucked up his courage and asked softly:
"Excuse me...what should I choose?"
The Third Young Master sneered and tapped the table with his slender finger bones. A thud sounded, which echoed in the empty and large church. The atmosphere was a little scary for a moment.
Su Yi was stared at by the Third Young Master. His gaze was icy and frightening. He had a bit of social anxiety and was not good at dealing with people, especially in strange situations with so many strangers.
The body unconsciously took a half step back. The next second, Su Yi saw the veins on the back of the Third Young Master's hand bulging. He was obviously angry. His voice was colder than before, and every word was chilling:
"What else can I choose? Among this row of men, which one is your husband?"
…Varied…? !
Su Yi clenched his fingers. Every word in this sentence rolled over his eardrums like ice chips. The combined meaning made him even more terrified. His mind was buzzing. This time, the light screen popped up an introduction:
[Wealthy Bai family’s wedding custom is to choose a husband from a row of masked men to test the bride’s sincerity]
Su Yi immediately had a bad premonition. He felt that the gazes around him were so hot that they were about to burn a hole in his body. He bit his lip and asked in a low voice:
"What if, what happens if I make the wrong choice?"
There was a sudden, eerie silence in the church.
The entire row of men was silent.
suddenly--
"Bingo~"
Accompanied by a snap of fingers, brisk footsteps came from behind. Su Yi suddenly felt a chill, and a hand rested on his bare shoulders.
The other party was wearing leather gloves and emerged from the darkness like a ghost. His voice was very frivolous, and he casually mentioned the terrible consequences:
"Then you will have another husband~"
Su Yi turned his head to look, and suddenly his eyes met with this person's -
In front of me was a tall man, his well-cut black suit showing off his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Black leather gloves tightly wrapped around his fingers, revealing their unusual slenderness and flexibility. He had a clown mask on his face, smiling strangely.
He put his arm around Su Yi's bare shoulders, leaned down pretending to be a gentleman, and spoke in a gentle voice:
"So honey, who are you going to choose?"
Su Yi's body was stiff, and he didn't know how to respond. Suddenly, a screen popped up next to the smiling face:
[Mysterious Magician, Your Lover]
[You once had a romantic encounter in France, and he confessed his true love to you, but you soon became disgusted with him for being a poor street performer, and not only abandoned him, but also severely humiliated his performing arts]
[Now, he has become a world-famous magician, with an appearance fee of tens of millions. This time, he deliberately postponed the performance he had been preparing for a long time and came to attend your wedding.]
“…”
They all came here specially to see him make fun of himself.
Su Yi's heart tightened for a moment. He subtly realized that his situation as a bride was not good. It was not a good sign that he had become a character with many emotional entanglements in the horror plot.
Guangping has said before that there is murderous intent at every step in the horror script-killing drama.
Su Yi carefully looked at the row of tall men in suits in the church. They exuded a powerful aura that could not be ignored, and each of them looked... like a suspect.
Sizzle——
The magician turned around and dragged a black chair from the corner. The Gothic iron legs were thin and sharp, and they scraped across the marble floor, making an extremely harsh sound.
He casually swung the chair to the empty space, with the back facing forward, crossed his long legs, sat on the chair backwards, put one hand casually on the back of the chair, supported his cheek with the other hand, and looked at Su Yi with a smile:
"Why aren't you talking? You're getting married soon, can't you even choose your own husband?"
Light screen: [Countdown reminder, player Su Yi, please make a choice within three minutes]
[Once you make the wrong choice, the player will be forced to have two husbands, married life will become confusing, and the waist will inevitably become tired frequently. Please choose carefully.]
Silence spread in the dim church, and the clock ticked away.
"He's not in now."
His dark eyes moved among the men in the row, and Su Yi came up with a safe answer. He took a deep breath and said louder:
"My...fiancé, isn't here."
The Third Young Master frowned immediately: "Do you want to choose no one?"
The magician sat back in his chair with a casual look on his face, sighing:
"Poor bride, I advise you to choose one."
He wore that ridiculous clown mask, tilted his head, and gave a thumbs-down gesture:
"You know, right here in this church, your disabled husband has married two brides."
Su Yi was stunned.
He sensed something was wrong almost immediately.
At first glance, this sentence sounds like it is saying that the eldest son of the Bai family has two wives, but a normal person would directly say that he has an ex-wife, or that he had two wives before, rather than saying that he married two brides in the church.
unless……
Su Yi opened his mouth: "What about the previous bride...?"
The magician lay on the back of the chair, staring at Su Yi like a cunning fox, and grinned:
"Dead. Died at the wedding."
clang--!
The church bell suddenly struck for the fourteenth time. The majestic and long bell sound was so shocking that it echoed for a long time in the empty church.
"The first bride died in a secret room under the church, lying on a stone bed, with a knife stabbed through the heart. A playing card was left next to her body."
The magician raised his left hand and showed Su Yi that his palm was empty. Suddenly, he turned his wrist and a three of spades appeared out of thin air between his middle and index fingers:
"The spade has a metaphor for death in poker. What's more strange is the number three, which people couldn't guess its meaning at the time.
"This card lies on the blood-stained wedding dress, with the back facing up, and there is a line of words written in blood on it..."
Su Yi saw the magician extend his index finger, and touch the back of the card with his black leather glove. His index finger gently stroked downwards, and wherever his fingertips touched, a line of bloody English words appeared as if by magic:
I'm back.
I'm back.
The wind passed through the church, whistling in the dim corners. Su Yi shivered on his naked back and felt a little cold.
“Two years later, the eldest son of the Bai family held his wedding with his second bride, still in this church.
The magician stroked the back of the playing card, and the line of bloody words disappeared along with his fingertips. He continued in a hoarse voice:
“During the wedding vows, there was a power outage and all the lights in the church went out.
“When the lights came back on, people saw a shadow moving in the tall stained-glass windows.
“The bride, who had just stood in front of everyone, was suddenly hung there and hanged to death.
"A card was traditionally left on the bride's body... and the numbers on it were then understood."
The magician deftly flipped his fingers again, and the three of spades in his hand turned into a two of spades.
——The murderer is counting down.
"There is also a line of blood on the back of this two of spades: Once again."
Do it again.
The church was extremely quiet. Su Yi held his breath, and everyone was silent.
At this time, the magician slowly took off his black leather gloves, revealing a pair of pale hands with long fingers and distinct joints. He picked up the two of spades, with the card facing away from Su Yi, and flicked it lightly.
"Now, you are the third bride."
Swish.
The number two suddenly disappeared, and the card in his hand turned into an Ace of Spades.
Su Yi was nervous and clenched his fingers unconsciously, like a little rabbit with its ears stretched out and its whole body alert. This look seemed to please the magician, who pinched the pointed corner of the playing card with his fingertips and deliberately waved it in front of Su Yi, jokingly saying:
"Are you afraid?"
Any normal person would be scared after hearing about this kind of serial murder case, but Su Yi immediately tightened his facial expression, not wanting to give in to the other party and show his fear.
He turned his face away, not looking at the scary card, and didn't even glance at the magician.
This action seemed to annoy the performing artist. The magician blew a breath towards the Ace of Spades in his palm. The next second, Su Yi heard——
Puff, puff!
Feathers flew up, and a little white dove flapped its wings and leaped out from the magician's palm! It fluttered towards him with the Ace of Spades in its mouth...
Su Yi grunted in shock! He raised his hand to block it, but the little white dove took advantage of the situation and landed on his arm, grabbing his exposed white skin with its claws, leaving a small red claw mark.
The little white pigeon was not afraid of people. It tilted its head and cooed non-stop. Su Yi didn't know how to deal with this enthusiastic little animal and was a little at a loss. The magician rested his chin on the back of the chair and watched with interest.
The bride in front of him was like a snow-white rabbit. In her panic, even her little ears turned pink. She was dragging her cumbersome wedding dress and her movements became much clumsy. Even a tiny pigeon could bully her. She looked so funny no matter how you looked at her.
The magician blew a long whistle, and the little white dove flapped its wings and was about to fly back obediently...
Suddenly, a long arm reached out! A big hand grabbed the flapping wings and snatched the pigeon away!
Then a cold voice rang out:
"Didn't you see the sign? Pets are not allowed."
The third young master held the pigeon's head with one hand, and the little white pigeon was obediently controlled in his palm, not daring to make even a sound.
He stretched out his hand and threw the pigeon upwards. The little white pigeon did not dare to fly back to find the magician, and flew towards the tall stained glass window, with its white feathers reflected in the colorful glow.
“Tsk.”
The magician glanced at the flying dove, then turned to speak to Su Yi, his tone sounding like he was complaining:
"Look, you must not choose a guy like this who bullies animals and has a bad temper."
The topic suddenly turned from the horrific murder case back to the ambiguous groom selection. Before Su Yi could react, the people present were used to it, as if they had long known what a bloody incident had taken place in this church.
The Third Young Master's cold gaze followed over and Su Yi felt that he was being watched. He lowered his head and his social phobia flared up a bit, and his cheeks couldn't help but start to feel hot.
The magician deliberately lowered his voice when talking to him, and even whispered some words, as if he was whispering in his ear, as if they were very intimate.
But the church was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and even the quietest voice could be heard clearly by everyone.
The third young master sat in the first row of the church, staring at Su Yi without saying a word.
The bride in front of him lowered her head, revealing her graceful swan neck, and her curves were so beautiful that they made people feel intimate. She was so attractive, but her personality was too introverted. Just because the frivolous magician said a few words, she was so shy that she didn't even know where to look. She just lowered her head to look at the gaps between the stone bricks of the church, probably wanting to get herself in.
He looks pitiful and is waiting to be loved.
The Third Young Master pressed his Adam's apple and asked Su Yi in a cold voice:
"You really won't choose me?"
…What? !
Su Yi was so shocked that he looked up and stared at the Third Young Master in amazement. He thought that the role of the Third Young Master was just to introduce the selection process, because according to the plot setting, he was his eldest brother's fiancée, and it was impossible for him to choose the third brother...
But the Third Young Master actually existed as an option... and even blatantly asked him in front of everyone whether he would choose or not!
If he really chose the Third Young Master, then... what would happen to him, the First Young Master, and the Third Young Master? The ethics of this wealthy family were too fragmented. Su Yi was simply surprised. How could this person... dare to ask such a question!
The third young master was relaxed, with no moral guilt towards his disabled elder brother at all, and he waited patiently for an answer.
Not long after, he saw Su Yi in front of him was extremely shy. Her snow-white face was flushed with a peach-like blush, which spread to her ears and neck in an instant, turning into a tender pink. She was so beautiful that all the men present could not take their eyes away.
“…I won’t choose you.”
Su Yi answered timidly, not daring to look the bad-tempered Third Young Master in the eye. When he looked away, he accidentally glanced at the magician.
The man lazily sat backwards in the chair, his pale hands resting on the back of the chair. The hollow back of the chair was carved with Gothic retro ironwork, and the black iron edges outlined slender curves. His slender fingers gently tapped the intricate ironwork like playing the piano, and he spoke softly:
"Dear, choose one. One more husband means one more person to protect you~"
Before Su Yi could speak, the Third Young Master looked over immediately and said in a deep voice:
"What did you call him?"
The bride in front of him was already a member of the Bai family, but she was called "dear" several times by another strange man in the wedding church. This was clearly a slap in the face of the Bai family.
The third young master stared at the magician. The black bat mask with gold thread made his eyes look deep and he looked very difficult to deal with.
The magician looked back fearlessly, with a mean smile on the clown mask on his face:
"What should I call him? It seems that it is not your turn as an uncle to control it, right?"
In the quiet church, the smell of gunpowder was about to explode.
Even though Su Yi didn't have much experience in dealing with people, he could see the tense atmosphere between the two men.
The final countdown popped up on the screen at this moment:
[Players please make a decision within 15 seconds: 14, 13, 12...]
