"Damn, Brother Chen, how did Old He get dragged over there? Isn't this a forced match?!"
Seeing this, Lao Dao was stunned, and his pants were also wet; he probably had already peed himself.
"Don't say that! Back off!"
I tensed up and quickly grabbed Lao Dao, pulling him back a bit.
At that moment, those figures suddenly looked at us, their eyes filled with violence.
That fierce gaze was so intense it made my hair stand on end and gave me an instinctive urge to retreat.
I counted them, and there were exactly sixteen wedding processions!
If you include the brides, there are seventeen.
It's seventeen again!
"What should we do, Brother Chen? It's up to you. If you say so, I, Lao Dao, won't say a word!"
Old Dao's voice was clearly a little weak at this point, but he still walked ahead of me. He would immediately step forward whenever I asked.
"Brother, I'll listen to you!"
The older woman also grabbed my hand.
I took a deep breath, and after careful consideration, I gave an order: "Fuck it, do it!"
After I finished speaking, I raised the Thunderstrike Sword and aimed it at the wedding procession.
I know this isn't a real wedding procession, but rather a manifestation of the demon below.
The other party must have chosen the fat man because he is useful.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen him.
Since that's the case, we absolutely cannot let him succeed!
When the wedding procession saw my actions, everyone, including the matchmaker, turned their eyes bloodshot.
This tunnel became quite terrifying.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Slaughter the faithless!"
The attendants spoke in low, menacing voices.
"The heartless man? He Feilong?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but frown. I never expected these people to pull something like this.
Just as I was about to make my move, these people suddenly vanished.
"Holy crap! Where did everyone go?!"
Looking at the quiet surroundings, I felt a chill run down my spine. So many people, plus the fat man, a living, breathing person, had just vanished like that. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was real.
"Brother Chen, the road ahead is blocked, there's nothing there!"
Could this old He be trying to escape unscathed?
Old Dao went to look around, found nothing, and hurried back, angrily saying...
He's starting to doubt the fat man again.
"Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with Old He. Why did that team target him instead of the others?"
The older woman chimed in.
I glanced at the old lady and Lao Dao: "So, you two also think that He Feilong's disappearance was something you orchestrated yourself?"
"Yes, that should be it. I felt something was off about this kid from the beginning. He was always acting suspiciously, and his motives weren't pure either."
If there really is an even more powerful demon in the mansion, it's him!
That old rascal loves nothing more than trying to cover something up!
Old Dao got more and more excited as he talked. Ever since the fat man had used his methods to control Old Dao, Old Dao had no good feelings towards him whatsoever.
"Hua Hua, come out here!"
I took out the bronze mirror and summoned Hua Hua directly.
When in doubt, check if there is similar information in the bronze mirror space.
Logically speaking, such a cleverly constructed secret chamber should have been documented.
However, the map of the underground network I have doesn't contain any information about this secret passage.
This is illogical and defies common sense.
“Master, I wanted to tell you this when I went in. The wedding procession had a total of sixteen people, which is recorded in this family’s records.”
It's a method of revenge, devised by the former mistress of the He family, specifically targeting unfaithful men!
After Hua Hua came out, she told me directly about those people.
Hearing this, I was a little dumbfounded.
"Wait, you mean this is a method of revenge? Why would the He family bother with something like this?"
I don't know what to say.
They are clearly a righteous family, but for some reason they like to do crooked and evil things.
What decent person would use a method like revenge?
"Wait, you mean there must have been a case in the He family where a man was unfaithful and abandoned his wife?"
At that moment, it suddenly dawned on me.
This family is really messy, with all sorts of infidelity and such.
That's way too gossipy.
I sensed something unspoken in Hua Hua's words. Since it was specifically designed for unfaithful men and was orchestrated by the mistress of the He family, it meant that the head of the He family was an unfaithful man.
Logically speaking, since he has become the head of the family and controls the family's lifeline, he should have absolute control over the family.
Let alone cheating, even divorcing someone and marrying another is not impossible.
However, the other party was labeled as a heartless man, which shows that the lady of the He family is no ordinary person!
"Yes, Master, this happened when the He family was founded! This technique is now clearly recorded and is called the Seventeen Methods!"
Including those scarecrows we encountered before, and the ones related to Seventeen, they all originated from this magic!
Hua Hua continued speaking, and what she said next really shocked me.
I never imagined that this thing about Seventeen was actually created by the lady of the He family.
Its original purpose was to take revenge on unfaithful men.
Before I could make a decision, another unexpected event occurred: a white halo suddenly filled the space and floated over to my mirror.
"An obsession? Such a strong obsession!"
Looking at the white halo, I couldn't help but sigh.
I know this thing; it's the lingering attachment left behind after a person dies.
This is the first time I've ever seen such a powerful aura, which shows how strong this obsession is.
"Do you belong to this mansion?"
Holding the white halo in my hands, I began to ask questions.
"Buzz!"
The obsession spoke up; it seems I was right.
Before I could ask any more questions, my obsession somehow found its way to the old lady.
"You seem to really like her?"
I tried asking, but my obsession didn't respond, so I guess I guessed wrong.
"Then, is she related to what happened at your manor?"
I continued to speculate, and this time, my obsession answered me.
Buzz!
The obsession trembled even more violently than before.
Then, without thinking twice, the thing rushed straight to the old lady's back.
My head is about to explode!
"Brother, what's going on?"
When the white obsession entered the old woman's body, she panicked, not knowing why this was happening.
