Li Shu grabbed a pair of scissors with one hand, making a clacking sound as they cut. Amidst the clacking sound, she saw that one of the red embroidered shoes, which had been placed side by side, suddenly moved forward a third of the way. Then, while the heel remained in the same position, the toe moved in one direction, forming a Y. A pretty standard one. Li Shu continued to ask the next question: "Has the spooky bride arrived?" The spooky embroidered shoes remained in place for a long time before swaying together from side to side. "Has she not arrived, or do you not know? If she hasn't arrived, sway to the left. If you don't know, sway to the right." The spooky embroidered shoes all swayed to the right. Don't know? Li Shu frowned slightly. This answer was within her expectations. Unless under special circumstances, the spookiness and its accompanying spooky weapon cannot be separated. Just like Ming Yuechen and the plum umbrella. When Ming Yuechen was being hunted to such an extent that he almost lost control of the plum umbrella, he didn't drop it. Then there's Tao Yuexi and the old locust tree. To shield her from the lightning, the old locust tree was cleaved into a dry fork. Tao Yuexi's own condition was dire, yet she didn't abandon the old locust tree. Instead, she shared her meager energy with the tree, enduring the ordeal. To put it bluntly, a companion artifact is like a strange, innate magical instrument; it can't be separated unless absolutely necessary. Of course, there's also the possibility that a strange death caused the artifact to fall into the hands of others, and then, for various reasons, circulate in the world. However, the fact that the blood jade bracelet and the strange embroidered shoes before her could summon the Ghost Bride suggests she's not dead. She's still alive, but separated from her companion artifact. Judging from the current situation, Li Shu suspects the Ghost Bride must have faced a significant crisis, most likely a catastrophic disaster, which ultimately led to the scattered artifacts. There's a connection between the strange being and its own accompanying strange artifact. The blood jade bracelet and strange embroidered shoes appear to have been in this world for quite some time, yet the strange bride hasn't returned to retrieve them. This suggests she's no longer in this world. Of course, there are other possibilities. For example, the strange bride's situation remains unresolved, preventing her from recovering her strange artifact. But Li Shu believes the former more. After all, if a powerful strange being capable of generating multiple accompanying strange artifacts were to enter this world and be unable to recover them, it suggests something extraordinary has happened. If such a horrific event had truly occurred, this world wouldn't remain so peaceful and tranquil. Li Shu carefully recalled her encounter with the strange bride, and the more she recalled, the more alarmed she became. The strange bride's red veil and red wedding dress were likely also accompanying strange artifacts. One strange being, four accompanying strange artifacts—unheard of. And that was just what she could see. What if there were more hidden beneath the red veil? It wasn't impossible. Even the jade bracelet she wore had become a companion strange artifact, and other accessories had a chance of becoming so as well. The strange bride is getting married in a gorgeous dress. It is impossible that she only has a jade bracelet. Earrings, headdresses, necklaces, all of them may become companion strange instruments. Li Shu looked at the strange embroidered shoes. She was guessing here, why not ask the strange embroidered shoes directly. As a strange companion strange instrument, they should know each other. "How many companion strange instruments do you have in total?" The strange embroidered shoes did not move. Li Shu thought about it and said, "I'll count. When the number is right, you move." The strange embroidered shoes still did not respond. Li Shu ignored it and started counting. "1." "2." "3." "4." "5..." The strange embroidered shoes still did not respond. Hasn't counted yet, or has the strange embroidered shoes never intended to respond to him at all? Li Shu made the strange scissors dance sound and continued to count. "6..." The strange embroidered shoes moved.
