The female corpse was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, lying quietly in the crystal coffin in the stone chamber.

If his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, his chest would not rise or fall at all.

It looked as if he had just fallen into a deep sleep.

While Fu Jingting was still in a daze, Xu Yue had already walked into the stone room.

He suddenly woke up and stepped into it following Xu Yue.

The temperature in the stone chamber was very cold, as if there was some invisible barrier behind it. As soon as I entered, goosebumps appeared on my exposed skin.

After entering, I found that the stone room was larger than it looked from the outside.

In addition to the female corpse lying in the crystal coffin in the center, there are also many eyeless paper figures with big blush on the walls surrounding the stone chamber.

Each paper figure holds a musical instrument such as a suona or gongs and drums.

The moment Fu Jingting saw those paper figures, he understood where the music that sounded punctually at midnight these days came from.

He looked at the Zhi Nao time and saw that it was just after seven o'clock in the evening.

The source of the music in the ancient house is outside the main hall.

So, when it’s almost midnight, will someone come to move these paper figures?

Or should I say...

Will these paper figures pass by themselves?

Can they move?

Fu Jingting suddenly remembered the national festival parade nine years ago.

There seemed to be such paper figures in the "Phantom of Fengdu Ghost City" at the national memorial venue that time.

Similarly, the concept of ghosts was also proposed after the national parade.

Xu Yue had already gone to the crystal coffin to check, looking carefully at the serene and tranquil woman inside.

The bright red wedding dress seemed to clearly indicate her identity.

However, Xu Yue has never seen the bride's face. She only caught a glimpse of her wearing a red hijab and attending the wedding ceremony with the groom.

Therefore, she was not sure whether the bride lying in the crystal coffin in front of her was the same person as the one she met on the first day.

Her eyes moved to the bulging belly of the female corpse.

Was the bride on the first day also pregnant?

Xu Yue searched for the memory fragments and found that she couldn't see it.

She sensed it for a moment longer, but could not detect any life from the belly of the female corpse.

It means she is pregnant with a stillborn fetus.

However, it is still unclear when the fetus died and why the couple kept the stillborn fetus in the bride's body.

And it cannot be determined at the moment.

If the fetus dies very early, the bride will not be unaware of it.

If the fetus dies after the death of the bride, the vitality will not dissipate so quickly, and it will become like this, with only the dark energy of death and evil in the belly.

Unless there's something else fishy.

Xu Yue was thoughtful, straightened her waist and looked behind her.

Fu Jingting's attention is still on the paper figures around him.

Xu Yue walked over, and Fu Jingting's eyes were immediately attracted to her.

On the way, his eyes inevitably glanced at the female corpse in the crystal coffin.

Oddly, he remembered what happened in the last issue and asked casually.

"Why don't you worry about letting me see you this time?"

"ah?"

Xu Yue was stunned for a while, and then realized that he was talking about the bones in the previous issue.

He said: "Oh, this is a ghost land. This female corpse is actually a ghost, not a real corpse."

Fu Jingting: "..."

He then looked at the female corpse in the crystal coffin: "If she is a ghost, why doesn't she move?"

Xu Yue walked towards a paper man next to her, and then said: "Because she also has to obey the stronger obsession in the ghost realm. Until she comes on stage, she can only play a corpse here.

"You can understand that this ghost land is a large-scale re-enactment of the scene.

"As long as no external force actively destroys it, it will continue to behave as it has in the past.

"Until...it comes to the moment when the master of the ghost domain is alive and dies, and then it happens again and again."

Fu Jingting listened to her and watched her pull out a paper man.

Then, I don't know what she did, but a golden slap mark slowly appeared on the paper man's face.

Fu Jingting: "..."

He remembered the third night, when he and Xu Yue went to check the situation outside the main hall, Xu Yue slapped the air.

He also thought she had habitual convulsions just because she was angry when she woke up.

Did you start preparing from that time?

Xu Yue looked over and over at the paper man with the golden slap mark on his face, then let go and let it fall on the stone wall again.

She stretched her neck and looked around, as if looking for something else.

Fu Jingting also looked around: "What are you looking for? I'm here to help?"

Xu Yue slowly withdrew her gaze, shook her head and said, "No need. You'll know where it is when the time comes."

Waiting time is up?

Fu Jingting looked at her doubtfully: "Teacher Xu...do you already know what this supernatural incident is about?"

Xu Yue pondered for a moment: "It doesn't count. I just have some guesses about what happened in the ghost realm these past few days. As for the cause of the supernatural events, I don't know yet."

She looked at Fu Jingting's puzzled expression, paused, and said:

"For example... do you know that there was a serial murder case in Aolai City, and one of the deceased was involved in a secret marriage?"

Fu Jingting instantly recalled the national memorial parade nine years ago.

Of course he knew, after all, it was a major criminal case that had been reopened after many years, and it became a hot search topic along with the national parade.

The impression cannot be said to be profound.

Fu Jingting subconsciously glanced sideways at the female corpse in the crystal coffin wearing a red wedding dress.

"Is she too..."

"Well." Xu Yue said and looked at the crystal coffin, "The suspicion is that I don't know why they got married again after getting married once. And..."

She looked at Fu Jingting.

“The groom who died yesterday—

"He committed suicide."

Fu Jingting's pupils shrank.

...

The sky is getting darker and darker.

The evil spirit lingering over the ancient house is getting stronger and stronger.

It's like rolling dark clouds, pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it.

Wang Qiuer stood at the edge of the candlelight in the safety zone, looking up at the sky that was obscured by evil spirits.

In my ears, someone seemed to be pleading.

She kept saying:

"Please"

"Send us relief"

"Don't let him make any more mistakes."

The sound was right next to my ears, and it kept repeating over and over again.

Wang Qiuer narrowed her eyes.

Mother and son evil.

It will take shape soon.

...

Fu Jingting and Xu Yue sat on the edge of the stone room, chatting and waiting for time to pass.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Xu Yue pulled him up from the ground, looked straight into the stone room, and said, "Pay attention."

Just as Fu Jingting was about to ask what he should pay attention to, he saw that the paper-stuck figures that were leaning against the stone wall suddenly stood up straight.

He was startled and subconsciously held his breath.
