Chapter 8 Don't come looking for me!
Chen Fu dared to do this because he got the inspiration from the resentful spirit of the water ghost.
He discovered that the ghosts in paranormal events all followed a set of rules and logic.
For example, the vengeful spirit of a water ghost wants to devour him. The bride, on the other hand, demonstrates the great importance she places on the wedding.
Since that's the case, I'll return the betrothal gifts to you, and we can hold another wedding.
Anyway, you're a ghost, so you're not bound by the constraints of human society, and your husband is right there with you. Don't worry about the details, let's start over.
The groom visibly relaxed when he saw that the items were useful, but when he noticed Chen Fu looking at him, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.
No, why does that look in your eyes make me feel like you still want me to continue being her husband?
He had been dead for only a few days, and his three souls and seven spirits were intact; otherwise, he could not have been chosen. He quickly understood the meaning.
"Don't even think about hitting on me."
The groom said nervously, involuntarily moving away from Chen Fu.
"The wedding will continue, everyone have some fun."
Chen Fu completely ignored the groom and greeted the remaining people.
Song Shuangwei reacted the fastest, tiptoeing over the blood on the ground and jumping to Chen Fu's side to clap and shout.
The young people, still reeling from the bloody ordeal, stared blankly ahead.
They didn't react until the sound of the slaps rang out, and they followed suit, trembling.
Even if Chen Fu's method seemed a bit unreliable, the boy did manage to subdue the bride.
Perhaps doing this will really bring about a change in the situation?
The bride, who was floating in front of Chen Fu, began to shrink inward with her ink-black resentment after hearing the sound, until it disappeared completely.
She floated stiffly in the air, her head tilted slightly, the tassels on her red veil swaying gently.
Those blood-red eyes began to be filled with other emotions: a hint of confusion, a hint of reminiscence, and more than anything, a tenderness that slowly began to grow.
Chen Fu moved to make room for the groom, but found that the bride was staring at him.
Then, he saw the bride slowly adjust her posture, like a woman in the old days who would slightly nod her head with a hint of shyness and obedience after receiving betrothal gifts.
A sweet, melodious voice echoed in Chen Fu's mind, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.
"I have received the betrothal gifts. I will wait for you."
The voice is extremely pleasant to listen to; anyone who is a fan of sound quality would be instantly captivated.
But Chen Fu's eyes widened.
What do you mean? Are you trying to cling to me?
Your fiancé is right here, so it's not appropriate for you to be looking for me.
What kind of husband-to-wife crime is this...?
Before Chen Fu could figure out the reason, he saw the bride floating in the air raise a hand and gently stroke the hem of her wedding gown.
The gesture carried a sense of pity, then it was extended tentatively, as if to touch, before being withdrawn with a touch of reserve.
In Chen Fu's sight, a red light shone from the nail polished fingertips, which quickly transformed into a wisp of silk and flew over.
He tried to dodge, but found that he couldn't move his body; he couldn't even loosen his fingers to let a hair fall.
The red thread passed through Chen Fu's chest without any hindrance. Instantly, he felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring in winter, with all the pores of his body opening up and all his fatigue disappearing.
The feeling, similar to gaining experience points, made Chen Fu realize that he had indeed temporarily resolved the bride's issue.
But he didn't want the experience points this time, because it meant the bride was clinging to him.
He couldn't take out his phone to check how many experience points he had gained, and could only stand there with a conflicted expression.
The bride had no idea what Chen Fu was thinking. She gave him a deep look. Although Chen Fu couldn't see his expression, he could feel the unwavering conviction and expectation in his eyes hidden under the red veil.
Finally, the bride's figure, along with the dragon and phoenix bracelets and embroidered shoes, faded and disappeared like an ink painting submerged in water.
Chen Furen was numb.
I'm arranging a new wedding for you, what's the meaning of this whole thing?
He felt the logic was off, but he did throw the dragon and phoenix bracelets and embroidered shoes out himself.
Did the bride's obsession with marriage begin with the betrothal gifts?
Chen Fu was at a loss for words.
Fortunately, only he could hear the sound, and only he could feel the physical changes brought about by the experience points. Furthermore, with the bride's departure, the suffocating oppressive atmosphere in the main hall also lessened.
The young people all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out their phones to make calls for help.
The groom, who was floating beside her, did not feel sorry for the bride's actions; on the contrary, he felt delighted.
But then he seemed to remember something and looked hesitant to speak.
He gave Chen Fu a deep look, memorizing the handsome young man, and quietly drifted to the side of the stage.
Chen Fu noticed the groom's gaze.
She initially thought they were going to cause her trouble, since in a "bride kidnapping" situation, the man would be the one who suffers the most.
Later, when they found out that wasn't the case, they didn't take it to heart and put the Great Sage's hair back.
Less than ten minutes after the young men made their phone calls, a sound came from outside the door.
The sound of the door being violently broken down did not evoke fear, but rather a sense of peace.
The door opened, and a group of people rushed in.
They were dressed in black suits, unlike the uniforms commonly seen in police stations, and remained unmoved by the corpses and blood in the room, patrolling back and forth to check on the survivors.
The leader was a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples, a serious face, and an air of righteousness. His eyes were like those of a hawk, as if he could see right through everyone.
Immediately, he smiled, and his serious demeanor melted away.
"Hello, this is Zhou Jianbang from the Public Security Bureau. You are safe now."
……
Chen Fu sat in the car, looking around at the surroundings.
After the young men made the phone call, the person who arrived was indeed a member of the Public Security Bureau, but something seemed off.
The cars driven by this group were not the usual police vehicles, but rather rows of domestically produced black Hongqi cars.
Their behavior was also strange. They didn't disturb other tourists or negotiate with the amusement park organizers. They simply parked their car at the entrance of the ghost marriage theme park and picked up the people inside one by one.
And they were alone in one car, looking as if they didn't want anyone to know about it.
Chen Fu understood this approach; with so many people dead, they definitely needed to control public opinion.
But this is too formal! Song Shuangwei wanted to ride in the same car as him, but she was forcibly dragged away.
Now, he sits alone in the car, and the driver in front glances at him from time to time, his eyes filled with a mixture of wariness and caution.
"Master, when are we leaving?"
Chen Fu asked, leaning forward and feigning unease.
The situation before him made him feel that this group of people should be a criminal investigation team under the Public Security Bureau, but he also had an indescribable feeling.
The driver didn't reply until he saw Zhou Jianbang standing in front of him make a hand gesture, at which point he immediately released the brakes and drove away from the amusement park.
Seeing the car move, Chen Fu turned around, leaned back in his seat, and took out his phone from his pocket.
He seemed to be looking for someone to talk to, but actually opened a game.
A large amount of handwriting emerged.
"You have temporarily suppressed the bride and gained 20% experience."
"You have achieved the state, the thread."
"The ghost bride is a pitiful woman who died tragically while still unmarried. Her obsession is to complete a proper wedding. The tethering thread is a causal thread formed by her own resentment and the ritual contract."
"Through the threads, the Ghost Bride can sense your vague location at any time. Your resistance to chill, curses, and mental influences is slightly increased."
"When you meet again, this thread will close. You must give the ghost bride an answer: complete this ghost marriage, tear up this covenant, or choose something else."
Chen Fu was both surprised and scared.
The temporary suppression actually gave so much experience, more than killing the vengeful spirit of the water ghost!
This proves that the two are not even on the same level.
Based on the assumption that he has a 100% chance of upgrading, he still has a 75% chance of breaking through.
The effects of the ghost bride are also good; if you encounter a ghost again, the impact will be less, and you can withstand more hits.
But it also allows the ghost bride to locate herself, and she doesn't know when she will come looking for her.
Although the situation is a bit serious, there's no need to rush. If you start to be afraid now, you're just scaring yourself... Chen Fu comforted himself, trying his best to control his expression so that the driver wouldn't notice anything unusual.
"Please do not turn on your phone, thank you."
The driver noticed Chen Fu's actions and spoke up to remind him.
Chen Fu pursed his lips, put away his phone, and tried to chat with the other party to try and get some information out of them, but the driver went back to his previous behavior and ignored him completely.
Left with no other choice, he could only gaze at the rapidly receding scenery outside.
Half an hour later, the vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of the hospital.
Central Theater Command General Hospital.
A question mark appeared in Chen Fu's mind.
Why did they come to the military hospital?
