Chapter 144 The Bride's End
=====================
144
System 663 said: [In layman's terms, it's a ghost marriage. 】
Qianling's heart beat a beat faster, her hands and feet were cold, and she was usually slow-moving, but this time she moved a little faster, poking her head out of the open coffin.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the mourning hall, and there was no one there, but the incense stick on the altar was only half burnt.
Qian Ling was a little thankful that no one was there. If it was him, if someone who was supposed to die suddenly crawled out of the coffin, he would be terrified.
But what Qian Ling didn't realize at all was that if he was the one who crawled out, not only would people who saw his beautiful face not be frightened, but they would have other emotions.
I don't know if it was because of sleeping for too long, Qian Ling only felt sore all over after getting up, probably because the coffin board was too hard.
Although Qian Ling woke up, his head was still a little foggy at the moment, and he didn't know how he got back to You's house, or even who changed the clothes for him.
Qian Ling walked out of the mourning hall, thinking about changing out of this suit first.
But he only felt that today's Youjia seemed to be colder than before. He walked all the way to his room without meeting anyone.
However, he failed to enter his room, because there was a large iron lock on the door.
Qian Ling could only give up changing clothes first, thought for a while, and decided to go to You Yunmu's study to try his luck first.
Facts have proved that Qian Ling's luck today is not bad.
As soon as he walked into You Yunmu's courtyard, he found that the door of the study inside was open. Qian Ling walked over quickly, and the gold ornaments on his body jingled like spring water.
Qian Ling walked in and found that the study was empty.
what.
Are they all here?
Qian Ling's eyes fell on You Yunmu's table, and there was a piece of paper in the middle of the table.
Qianling's fair fingers pinched the piece of paper, her expression froze for a moment, on the paper was nothing but his own portrait outlined with a brush.
Before Qian Ling figured out why, she only heard something coming from behind the bookcase.
He put down the portrait in his hand, and his attention was attracted by the bookcase.
The bookcase is full of ancient books, Qian Ling groped on the bookcase without any method, but couldn't find the switch he imagined, and his face couldn't help feeling a little hot.
Before Qianling quietly asked the system for a reminder, the other party had already said, "At the bottom, twist it."
According to the prompt of the system, Qian Ling quickly found the decorative ceramics at the bottom, and after twisting it with his hands, the bookcase was instantly split into two halves.
A dark corridor leads underground.
Qianling supported the wall and walked down the steps carefully. The ground floor was gloomy and humid, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
Qianling walked slowly, with a layer of dust rubbing against her palms, and finally stepped on the last step, fine beads of sweat formed on her smooth forehead.
Qian Ling heard the sound of something piercing through the air, followed by a muffled hum that was deliberately suppressed.
He poked his head out cautiously.
The kerosene lamp on the wall casts the whole space in a dim yellow warm color.
What came into view was a pitch-black cage, inside which was a kneeling figure with his head lowered, the warm yellow light falling on his exposed upper body skin, clearly visible fresh scars.
In front of him, with their backs to Qian Ling, stood two people holding a whip that was dripping blood.
It's not hard to imagine how the movement he heard just now came from.
Qian Ling almost held his breath.
"I really want to kill you, but it's too cheap for you to die so easily."
Hearing the voice, Qian Ling was stunned for a moment, until the two people with their backs to him turned their heads slightly, and Qian Ling who was hiding in the dark confirmed that it was You Heng and You Yunmu.
And it was You Heng who spoke just now. He is young and energetic and has always acted in an arrogant manner. Now he is directly pulling the kneeling person in the middle, pulling his scalp, and forcing the other person to raise his head, "I won't do it so simply. Forgive you, the pain of flesh and blood is only the first layer, and then I will let you experience that life is worse than death in the illusion."
Qian Ling's pupils shrunk.
The one kneeling was none other than Zong Nuo, who had insisted on going his own way before, but now he looked extremely embarrassed, the clothes on his upper body were almost hanging on his body in the form of cloth strips, there was dried blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes lost their light.
He didn't seem to hear what You Heng said at all, and there was no change in expression on his face.
This kind of indifference directly stimulated You Heng's anger, he raised his foot and kicked Zong Nuo forcefully.
Hearing a bang, Zong Nuo slammed into the wall with his back, and all the sundries hanging on the wall fell down. He coughed heavily, bent down, and spit out scarlet and thick foam on the ground. .
You Heng didn't give him any chance to breathe, tightly pinched his neck, his eyes were bloodshot, "You are the one who killed Qian Ling, don't pretend that you are in pain, do you deserve it?"
Hearing the word Qianling, Zong Nuo finally had other reactions on his face, Zong Nuo said: "You kill me."
His painful expression fell into You Heng's eyes and he felt extremely ironic.
You Heng sarcastically said mercilessly: "You don't even deserve to die."
"I didn't mean to hurt him, but I couldn't accept that after all my family members were killed in front of me, I could live easily. But I never thought it would be like this..."
You Yunmu, who had been standing silently, suddenly laughed, his voice echoed in the airtight basement, and he said, "Do you think we are living easily?"
"Sealing those things back requires a very powerful force, but it was impossible for Youjia at that time," You Yunmu said: "The only way we can do it is to make a deal with the gods and withdraw it in advance Strength, but the price is the lifespan of our people."
Qian Ling secretly heard all this in the corner, and at this time the answer to the main task of the dungeon has completely surfaced.
In order to suppress the evil spirits brought out by the summoning array, the Youjia people pledged the lifespan of the whole family in exchange for enough power to drive out the powerful enemies.
This matter also disappeared in time as the parties passed away one after another.
In the eyes of the only escaped Zong Nuo, it was You Jia who relied on his power to act recklessly, hoping to gain enough power through the same summoning method,
Zong Nuo, who put all this into action, realized at this moment how wrong he was, but the one he didn't want to summon didn't have any Supreme God, but only greedy evil spirits.
Over the years, he has done countless bad things in order to achieve his goals.
Because of this, he killed his most precious person.
Zong Nuo's eyes fell on the pile of sundries in front of him, looking at the gleaming dagger, his eyes didn't blink for a moment.
A cold light flashed before You Heng's eyes, before he could stop it, he heard Zong Nuo fall sideways on the ground with a plop, scarlet liquid gushing out from the side of his neck continuously.
Although the pain was severe, Zong Nuo didn't seem to notice it at all. His vision was blurred and he saw a familiar figure standing in a corner, wearing a bright red wedding dress, with an expression on his face like a frightened deer.
"Cough cough..."
Zong Nuo stretched out his hand, the distance was too far, he couldn't touch it at all, and he couldn't even confirm whether it was an illusion caused by his unconsciousness.
But that was enough for one last look.
Sure enough, he looked even better in wedding clothes than imagined...
【Ding!Completed the single-player instance: Chongxi Bride]
Qian Ling was taken aback by the sudden system prompt, took a step back unconsciously, and made a slight noise.
[In settlement rewards,]
[Physical damage: 0, mental damage: 0, task exploration degree: 100, complete the main task: successfully survive and find out the cause of You Xuan's death.Comprehensive customs clearance evaluation: sss. 】
[Leaving the dungeon world, 10%, 20%...]
The two who heard the voice turned their heads. When they saw Qian Ling, their eyes were filled with disbelief, and they almost forgot all their rationality and rushed over.
"Shallow spirit?!"
You Heng raised his hand, but barely touched Qianling's fingertips, and the system's voice continued to sound:
[100%, loading complete. 】
The temperature at the fingertips was like a feather brushing gently, and it was fleeting, as if it never existed at all, and everything returned to calm.
The two fell into silence at the same time.
After a long time, You Heng said: "I saw Qian Ling just now, his hands are warm."
"I saw it too."
Afterwards, the two rushed out of here at the same time, heading for the same destination—the mourning hall.
However, the two of them ran to the coffin out of breath.
Beside You Xuan lay a beautiful woman with her eyes closed, her gorgeous wedding dress made him even more white and flawless, as if she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.
You Heng frowned uncontrollably, pursed his lips hard, stretched out his hand and carefully held the hand of the person in the coffin.
The tentacles are cold.
As if at this moment, his rekindled hope was ruthlessly shattered, You Heng murmured: "I really saw it, why, why is there no temperature?"
------------
Qian Ling fell into a familiar dizziness, and his whole consciousness fell into chaos.
When Qian Ling woke up again, he had already returned to the middle station that Fear Tour gave players.
Qian Ling gradually became familiar with such a process, but after experiencing long hair for a period of time, he suddenly felt that the back of his neck was cold and a little uncomfortable.
Qian Ling rubbed the back of her neck and sat cross-legged on the bed to look at the floating screen.
A bright yellow notification hangs on the screen——
[Congratulations to the player for breaking the dungeon record, Qian Ling successfully cleared the single-player dungeon: Chongxi Bride.Comprehensive evaluation: sss]
The more obvious left side of the screen is various types of leaderboards, and the player's speech area on the right side.
[Innocent supernatural book, I'm really not dreaming, am I? ]
[At first I thought I was dazzled, but I looked at the name again, oh, it turned out to be this one, then it’s all right. ]
[Newcomers are all monsters. ]
['Chongxi Bride' is a supernatural book that few people can survive, and those who come alive are basically in a dying state. I heard that once you enter the dungeon, the npc that turns into a ghost state will come to ask for your life, let alone find the cause of death. It would be nice not to be strangled on the first day. ]
[Besides, this NPC thief is perverted, the upgrade speed is extremely fast, and it will appear from time to time. It is enough to deal with it, let alone carry out other activities. ]
[Big brother, the soft rice is fragrant. ]
[Boss won’t never join a team, won’t form a group?Although it's cool to be alone, but when encountering violence, it is better to form a team to push faster and have more experience. ]
When Qian Ling saw this speech, she took a second extra look.
