Bai Shen pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.
Silence spread in the empty hall. Planner Peng, the old pastor, and maid Lin, who had arranged the venue earlier, also noticed the strange atmosphere here and cast their eyes in salute.
Su Yi felt embarrassed when being stared at. He was caught by Bai Shen without any reason. When he asked Bai Shen what was wrong, Bai Shen didn't speak like a piece of wood, as if his mouth was sewn shut!
"Su Yi, come here."
The young master's deep voice echoed in the empty hall, with a teasing tone:
"My third brother has just inherited the family business and will be the one in power in the future. It's normal for him to have some temper. We can't bother with him."
Let us draw the line clearly.
Su Yi knew that he should go over as the wedding was about to begin. As the bride, he should stand next to the eldest Master Bai instead of being held by the hand by the third Master Bai and stuck in this stalemate.
He moved his fingers, not daring to struggle like before, for fear that Bai Shen would let out another painful hiss. His delicate fingertips wrapped in lace gently touched Bai Shen's broad palm, like the tentacles of a small snail, silently reminding him: It's time to let me go.
This action touched someone's reverse scale, and Bai Shen suddenly held him even tighter, without saying a word, and refused to let him go to the eldest young master.
"You...you let me go."
Su Yi whispered that he was completely helpless against Bai Shen. This guy was so weird! He didn't say anything and didn't let him go.
Just now, his fingertips touched the strange raised scar on the palm of Bai Shen's hand. It seemed to be a real wound. The pain just now - it was definitely not fake. Now that Bai Shen didn't let go, he didn't dare to move anymore, for fear of disturbing the wound.
Sizzle, the wheelchair rolled across the ground, and the young master came over with a frown on his face...
The magician saw that the young master had also come over, and he was not satisfied with just watching from the side, so he came up to him and said sarcastically:
"Third Master, what's wrong with you? You didn't just inherit the family fortune... and you want to steal your eldest brother's wife? No way, that's the way it is."
He deliberately turned around and asked Su Yi: "Come to think of it, you wanted to marry the eldest young master for money. Now that the family property has been divided, why not choose the third young master? Anyway, we haven't taken the marriage vows yet."
Su Yi felt so ashamed by what he said that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. How could these people... have no ethics or morals at all!
He lowered his head, his slightly red cheeks hidden in the snow-white bridal veil, looming and very alluring.
The eldest young master's wheelchair slid to Su Yi's side and stared at the third young master. His face was covered by a platinum mask, revealing his noble majesty:
"Third brother, what do you want to do?"
Maid Lin pulled planner Peng and squatted on the oath-taking platform not far away, with a look of anticipation on their faces, looking forward to the Bai family fighting and fighting!
Su Yi was caught in the middle, and it was very difficult for him to be a man. On one side was the pressing Bai Da Shao, and on the other side was the Bai San Shao who refused to let go. He guessed that the Bai Shen might want to say something to him, but he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he kept grabbing him like this, refusing to speak or let him get married.
After a while, Su Yi suddenly heard three words. The voice was like a cold bubble, bursting in his ears:
"sorry."
Su Yi raised his head in surprise. Bai Shen turned his face away, with a slightly unnatural look in his eyes, as if he had never bowed his head to anyone like this before:
"Before...sorry, it wasn't directed at you."
Su Yi was stunned, and his small TV exploded on the spot:
[Help, help! I was shocked when I came in. Is Baishen apologizing to someone? ? ]
[Bai Shen, do you even have the word "sorry" in your dictionary?!]
[It turns out that as long as people live long enough, they can see everything. The White God will have a day to open his mouth and apologize to people. This will go down in history!]
[It's so funny. What's wrong with saying sorry? He has always been rude to the bride. Is it true that the white god's lips are inlaid with diamonds and are very valuable? Does he have to go down in history for his apology? Wife, ignore him!!! A stinky man who can't talk should be retrained!]
…
Several players present were also stunned. The famous Baishen was famous for killing ghosts. He didn't rely on players or spectators, so he had the capital to ignore everyone. Even if he did something wrong, he would never admit it like a saw-mouthed gourd. Now he was apologizing in a low voice with his head down... Who has seen this? I've never dared to think about it!
Su Yi had never seen Bai Shen's arrogant look in the dungeon before, and he just felt that he was a little difficult to get along with. Now that he heard him apologize, he was a little surprised, but he didn't react too much. He smiled politely and distantly:
“…It’s okay. I don’t take it personally.”
Su Yi saw that Bai Shen was still lowering his head, so he said a few more words to comfort him:
"Although it's a buy one get one free pair of shoes, thank you for thinking of me at that time."
“…”
Bai Shen gritted his teeth, but words have been spoken and cannot be taken back. He could no longer explain to Su Yi that those were not buy-one-get-one-free shoes. If he explained, he would only make things worse and would be slapping himself in the face.
He kept his words to himself, but Su Yi's polite attitude towards strangers was simply unbearable for him, as if she didn't care about him at all.
Su Yi silently looked at Bai Shen's grasped hand, implying that he no longer cared, accepted the apology, and the matter was over, so could he let go?
Bai Shen loosened his grip a little under this gaze, but did not completely let go. Su Yi saw him lower his head even lower, his voice a little hoarse, a low and hoarse whisper that seemed to be heard by only the two of them:
"I don't want to see you get married."
Su Yi: …? ?
Bai Shen completely let go of his hand and stared at him straight in the eyes. There was resentment in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn a hole in his body:
"You really don't understand?"
Su Yi was even more confused by the question. What does this mean? Is it really like what those comments say? ...I want to capture the sister-in-law line?
"Su Yi, the wedding is about to begin."
The eldest young master interrupted the third young master Bai's intention to continue pestering him. He extended his hand to Su Yi in a gentlemanly manner:
"Let's go."
Su Yi nodded. Before leaving, he looked back at Bai Shen, wanting to confirm whether the wound on his hand was okay...
Originally, Su Yi did not think much about it. It would be fine if Bai Shen showed it to him openly. But the moment he turned around to look, Bai Shen deliberately put his left hand behind his back and refused to show it to him.
Su Yi was aroused by Bai Shen's action. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, like a kitten. The more he was not allowed to see, the more he wanted to find out.
Ding-ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding-ding, the melodious wedding march resounded in the church.
The air was filled with dusk-like lights, the white lace ribbons were dyed with a honey-like color, the bride held a bouquet of bright red roses in her hands, her eyelashes drooping quietly, and the light from the stained-glass windows fell on the snow-white wedding dress, which was incomparably holy and beautiful.
The groom next to the bride was wearing a smart white suit, but he was a year older than the bride and sat in a wheelchair. His serious disability shattered any perfection in him. The couple stood in front of the pastor, revealing a strange mismatch.
The guests in the room applauded and welcomed them into their marriage.
These guests were all system-generated NPCs, forming the background characters of the lively occasion. Bai Sanshao sat casually among the guests, selecting a handy weapon to kill ghosts from his backpack. The magician was playing poker by himself out of boredom. Neither of them applauded, and they didn't even want to look at the priest.
The old pastor made a religious prayer gesture on the stage, placed his hands on the Bible, and asked solemnly:
"Groom, are you willing to marry this bride as your wife, live with her according to the teachings of the Bible, become one with her before God, comfort her, respect her, protect her, and love her even more than you love yourself, and be faithful to her and protect her forever, regardless of life, old age, sickness, or death, regardless of wealth or poverty, until you leave this world?"
The church's stained glass cast a sacred glow, and the white suit was bathed in the brilliant light. The young master answered seriously:
"I do."
The old pastor asked the bride the same question again, and Su Yi answered yes according to the plot.
There was warm applause all around, the guests cheered, and some even shouted: Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!
Su Yi looked at Master Bai in a panic, and seeing that the Master turned a deaf ear to him, he felt a little relieved. After all, the script-killing was just a script. He could play the bride and the husband, but if the fake play became real, it would be a bit...
"Why are you looking at me?" Young Master Bai noticed Su Yi's gaze and teased him gently:
"Do you really want me to kiss you?"
Su Yi shyly shook her head, and her snow-white veil swayed gently, fluttering in the air, making people want to reach out and touch it.
When fiddling with it, the fingers will faintly rub against the cheek, and the smooth and tender skin will become even redder with shame, which is even more painful.
The young master moved his fingers and suppressed the desire.
Su Yi, who was completely unaware, had no idea what Mr. Bai was thinking. He was observing the wedding scene carefully. The old pastor had suggested before that everyone should be divided into groups to avoid too many guests or NPCs coming to the scene to make up the numbers and disperse everyone, allowing the murderer or ghost to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
There are 13 players in this round. Player No. 13 died. Liu Ge said he wanted to go home and leave, but was electrocuted to death by the system's electric chair. Mr. Bai vomited out his hair and died. Now there are exactly 10 people left, and they work in pairs.
As the bride, Su Yi is naturally in a group with the eldest master Bai; the third master Bai and the magician are in a group; the old pastor and lawyer Chen are in a group; maid Lin and planner Peng are in a group; Grace and postman Fang are in a group.
Each group was given a special three-color flashlight. If their lives were threatened, they would turn on the red light; if they found that someone in the same group was missing, they would turn on the yellow light; and in other situations, they would turn on the white light.
In this way, two people can keep each other company and take care of each other. Even if the murderer wants to kill someone, the people in the same group can keep an eye on his movements. In case someone in the same group is stabbed and the remaining one cannot explain why, he will naturally be suspected of being the murderer by everyone.
In this case, the murderer will be more cautious in choosing whether to kill his group mates. If he kills them, he will be suspected. If he does not kill them, it will not be easy to kill others without the knowledge of his group mates.
In addition to the trouble of the murderer, there is also a ghost.
Su Yi was thinking in his mind. He had heard from the barrage and old players that the wedding scene would be bloody and terrifying. He wondered if the [ghost] was hiding among these guest NPCs?
"Now, please let the groom put the ring on the bride." The old pastor read the blessing kindly:
"Congratulations on becoming husband and wife. I wish you a long-lasting marriage and a happy marriage!"
Young Master Bai smiled and took out a red velvet ring box from his arms. Su Yi stretched out his hand at the right time, and his slender fingertips wearing white lace gloves looked extremely elegant.
The young master held the hand gently, took out the wedding ring from the box, firmly put it on Su Yi's ring finger, and gently said:
"Don't take it off."
Su Yi nodded.
The eldest young master added seriously:
"Whatever happens, don't pick it."
"…good."
Su Yi did not ask why. At this moment, he thought of the young master who always held his hand when he was daydreaming and reminded him not to think too much. At that time, the young master said to him:
[Now is not the right time to think about it]
——In other words, there is actually an opportunity to think about it.
Su Yi stared at the ring on his ring finger. According to common sense, wealthy families would make their wedding rings very large, inlaid with huge, sparkling diamonds, but the one Young Master Bai gave him was very low-key, with a circle of plain silver ring and a small gem in the middle.
Su Yi was not sure whether it was a gem, because it did not seem to have the shiny luster of a gem, and it was rather dull. If you did not look carefully, you would not even notice there was a stone there, and you would think the whole ring was a circle of silver ring.
——By wearing this ring, can I wait until that opportunity?
Su Yi and the young master looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding without saying a word.
"strangeness."
Planner Peng looked around the wedding scene and said, "The bride and groom have already taken their vows, so why didn't anything happen?"
Maid Lin: "It's a bit strange. When I was playing the role, there was a best man in the script. When the bride was taking her wedding vows, the best man suddenly rushed up and stabbed the bride to death. But he refused to admit it afterwards, saying that a ghost was controlling him and he had lost his mind."
Planner Peng: "It was almost the same when I was a bride. When the bride said "I do", she collapsed from the poison. Fortunately, she was lucky enough not to die and was rescued. On the contrary, the groom was dismembered by the ghost. It was very bloody. This time it was so peaceful... How can I say it, I have a kind of creepy feeling."
Maid Lin smiled and said, "This is the last calm before the storm. Enjoy it."
She picked up the champagne on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"You are really careless. You even dare to drink the alcohol here? The person I just mentioned died of poisoning." Miss Peng said.
"Haha, it's okay. If I really get caught, the worst that can happen is that I can spend a thousand gold coins to redeem myself." Maid Lin sipped the wine while looking around vigilantly. She always had a vague sense of uneasiness, as if something was going to happen.
The old priest also seemed to find such calmness strange. Usually, something would go wrong when the priest was reciting the wedding vows, or at most when exchanging rings.
This was the first time that the old pastor had not memorized his lines in advance. He looked up at the screen:
"Please ask the bride and groom to toast to each table of guests."
Young Master Bai took two glasses of light golden champagne from the plate. Su Yi saw him take out a palm-sized instrument from his gaming backpack, and scanned the outer walls of the two glasses, and immediately analyzed the substance:
[Champagne, does not contain other toxic or harmful ingredients]
Su Yi: ...What an amazing prop. He can buy it when he has money.
Mr. Bai handed him a cup:
"If you don't know how to drink it, just take a sip. If you don't like it, it's okay not to drink it. The system won't punish you for these small details."
Su Yi nodded, and they walked down the swearing-in platform together and walked into the group of guests.
With wine glasses clinking and beautiful women in elegant attire, these guest NPCs are as lively as living people. I wish them a happy wedding.
Su Yi toasted absentmindedly, always paying attention to whether there were any changes at the wedding scene...
Crackling!
Just then, the sound of breaking glass was heard behind them.
Su Yi immediately turned around and saw a champagne tower inexplicably falling from the table and shattering all over the floor. It was unknown what substance had been added to the champagne. After it shattered on the floor, white smoke rose up...
"Cover your mouth!" Young Master Bai shouted.
The next second, bang——
Su Yi's eyes went dark and the power went out!
All the lights were turned off, it was pitch dark everywhere, all I could hear were the guests' screams and fleeing footsteps, the scene was in chaos.
Click. Mr. Bai immediately turned on his flashlight to illuminate the road ahead. Wherever the flashlight went, white smoke was swirling and the figures of the guests were hidden in the mist. The visibility of the entire venue suddenly became very low.
Squeak——
In the chaotic scene, Su Yi seemed to hear the sound of a door opening.
Rather than the sound of a person opening a door, this was more like the sound of the wind blowing it open. However, the door of the church hall was nearly three meters high and was a heavy wooden door. Where did the wind come from with such a strong force...?
"Su Yi, follow me closely."
The eldest young master's voice sounded in front of him, and a big hand reached out and held Su Yi.
The conference hall was dark and without power, filled with strange white smoke. The pale light of the flashlight illuminated the road ahead. Su Yi was holding the man's big hand and following the wheelchair step by step.
Hiss…hiss…click, hiss…hiss…click.
The wheelchair rolled rhythmically and scraped the ground, making some discordant sounds.
In the dark environment, hearing was amplified and Su Yi could hear everything particularly clearly. These sounds made him feel...uncomfortable.
Some spots of light appeared one after another at the wedding scene. Players from other groups also turned on their flashlights. Su Yi counted them carefully: white light, white light, white light, yellow light...!
Huang Guang said that a group of players found that their companions were missing!
——Has the murderer started to act? Or...
Just as Su Yi was thinking, he suddenly saw another white light lit up in the conference hall!
In an instant, a chill rose from behind him. Su Yi held his breath, his heart pounding.
This is a very simple arithmetic problem. The ten of them were divided into five groups, each with a special flashlight. But now, a yellow light, four white lights, and the white light of the young master holding their hands were lit up in the venue...
1? A total of six flashlights appeared.
…more.
Hiss…hiss…click. Hiss…hiss…click.
The wheelchair was still moving forward, and Su Yi was being held tightly by that big hand.
He didn't dare to breathe, calmed down, didn't struggle, and didn't shout. After walking for such a short distance, the big hand holding him gradually began to get cold, and it was absorbing the warmth from his hand.
When Su Yi was in the cloakroom before, the young master Bai covered her mouth and held her in his arms. The young master Bai's body temperature was very hot, and his palms were even hotter. They would never be so cold.
Who is this man holding his hand?
This man? Is he a human?
