Chapter 10
"Squeak-"

There was a gust of wind, and the door behind him made a tooth-piercing sound.

Behind the flower garden of the house in front is a winding corridor, leading to the courtyard behind.

White lanterns are hung everywhere, but there are red candles in the lanterns, and white paper-cut "囍" characters are pasted on the pillars and windows.

They come, the security.

Just as Chu Jinsui was about to walk towards the corridor, he suddenly felt cold behind him.

An ominous intuition arises.

"Miss, please come with us."

An emotionless voice sounded behind her.

Her hair stood on end, and she turned around abruptly——

Two girls made of paper were standing behind her. On the pale paper, with pitch-black eyes, blood-red lips, and exaggerated blush, they were facing Chu Jinsui expressionlessly.

The paper figurine was dressed in a festive maid, looking very strange.

"Girl, please this way."

These two terrifying paper figurines appeared behind her at some point, and they were raising their hands together as a gesture of please.

Chu Jinsui had no choice but to follow the two paper figurines for the time being.

The paper maid did not lead her from the corridor to the backyard, but led her to a rockery on the right.

After bypassing the rockery, I discovered that there is a bluestone path behind the rockery.

"This is the way to the room and courtyard." The two paper figurines stood on the side of the road.

The way to the room?

What about the other way?Where does the corridor lead to?
Chu Jinsui set foot on the path.

In an instant, the candles in the low lampposts on both sides of the path were burning.

The flickering red candlelight shone on the ground, like blood flowing forward.

After walking a few steps, she couldn't help turning her head and glanced back.

The two paper maidservants quietly followed behind him, looking at his back.

Their pale faces were reddened by the candlelight, making them even more gloomy.

Under the watchful eyes of the paper figurine, Chu Jinsui walked to the end of the bluestone path——

A desolate courtyard appeared in front of him.

The white paper lanterns were shaken by the wind, the door to the courtyard was open, and the room inside was lit with red candles.

A figure was reflected in the window.

The figure...seemed to have no head.

She suppressed the horror in her heart, was alert to the surrounding environment, and searched the room with her spiritual sense. Sure enough, there was no trace of living people in the room.

However, the strange thing is that there is no ghost in the room.

Looking at the headless reflection standing in the room on the window, Chu Jinsui walked lightly into the yard and pushed open the door.

"call--"

A gust of cold wind blew from behind, shaking the candles in the room.

The headless figure was behind the screen.

The two paper maids followed her every step of the way without urging them, but just fixed their eyes on her.

Chu Jinsui bypassed the screen.

When he finally saw the "headless figure", he breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be just a wedding dress that was hung up.

The bright red wedding dress was embroidered with exquisite and complicated patterns and was hung on the shelf.

The shadow was cast on the window, and it looked like a headless corpse from the outside.

"Miss, try to see if the wedding dress fits you well." The paper figurine maid behind her suddenly said.

Chu Jinsui lightly put his fingers on the wedding dress, but didn't feel any spiritual power or other things in the wedding dress.

Instead of changing her clothes, she turned around and walked around the two paper figurines.

Well.

Is it puppetry?
She stretched out her finger and lightly poked a small hole in the arm of one of the paper figurines.

The paper figurine stood there without any reaction.

She picked up the candle beside her, approached the paper figurine, and lit it.

"Shh!"

One paper figurine burned and turned into a pool of ashes in an instant, while the other one still stood quietly, watching her strangely.

"What will happen if I don't wear a wedding dress?"

The paper figurine looked at her and repeated: "Miss, try to see if the clothes fit you well."

Chu Jinsui shook his head and ignored it.

She looked at the black ash on the ground, and it was indeed an ordinary paper figurine.

Who is manipulating them behind the scenes?The ghost king that the matchmaker said?Or his men?

The paper figurine will only repeat the master's order: "Miss, try to see if the wedding dress fits you well."

Without any useful information, Chu Jinsui frowned slightly, took a candle, and lit another paper figurine.

She is not going to act according to the orders of the mastermind behind the scenes - if she puts on the wedding dress, then she has agreed to the marriage, and if she wants to leave, it will be even more difficult.

This small world is too weird, there is no guarantee that there will be such a possibility.

Just to be on the safe side, let's start with what's going on here.

It is best to find the source of this small world.

The so-called source point is the origin of the formation of this small world.

Generally speaking, the place with the most aura in the secret realm is the source of the secret realm.

Then the source here should be the most haunted place.

Chu Jinsui didn't even look at the wedding dress again, and stepped out of the room.

You have to go outside first.

It is best to find a way for Ah Yuehe to leave here before the "ghost king" that the matchmaker calls appears.

With my current cultivation base, I can't face this group of ghost cultivators head-on. It will be bad if I delay until the big day, so I can only hope to find the source in advance.

The moment she stepped out of the room—"Oh, interesting." There seemed to be a faint chuckle in her ear.

With a pause in his footsteps, Chu Jinsui immediately became alert.

It was a man's voice, low, slightly hoarse, and sounded very young.

Ghost King?
However, after a while, there was no other sound, as if the sentence I heard just now was just an illusion.

Pursing her lips, she walked out of the courtyard, only to find that the bluestone path was gone.

?

The way we came here was gone, and there was only a piece of withered grass and a few crooked trees left in front of us.

Illusion or blindfold?
Chu Jinsui bypassed the grassland and dead trees, and walked forward along a path that didn't know where it led.

It is better to take the initiative to attack than to sit still.

Go out from the path.

The grass just now was really a trick.

She went back to where she came in at the beginning.

The promenade directly opposite is still hung with white lanterns, and the rockery on the other side is still there.

This time she wanted to see where the corridor led.

"Miss, please come with us."

There is no ups and downs in the tone, familiar words.

Chu Jinsui's heart skipped a beat.

What the heck.

she turned back slowly
Two paper figurines stood behind her—they were paper figurines that had been burned to ashes by her just now.

Their bodies are all black and dusty.

At this moment, the two paper figurines were looking at her with resentment, as if they were about to drip venom from the dark paper.

Being stared at like this, her blood almost froze.

Isn't it puppetry?
Most of the dead objects controlled by puppetry have no self-awareness, but these two paper figurines obviously hold a grudge against her act of lighting the fire just now.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the red door of the house.

"Boom boom boom!"

The people outside seemed unable to open the door, and they kept knocking on the door repeatedly.

who is it?Is it Ah Yue? ?

Chu Jinsui just wanted to open the door, but two paper figurines blocked her way.
