Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 349 Wedding Banquet
The house was brightly lit and decorated, bustling with activity.

Although the wedding banquet was held in the town's shrine, the decorations were almost luxurious. Red silks flowed like waves, lanterns hung high, and fine satin was spread on the ground as if it were free. The banquet featured a wide variety of delicacies, and even though it was the dead of winter, the hall was still filled with flowers.

Unlike the chaotic scene outside, most of the guests here still retained their human forms.

Or perhaps, all the humans captured in the dream are here.

The wife remained sharp-tongued, muttering curses under her breath at Cangchuan for causing her trouble, while rummaging through the table, glancing around to make sure no one was watching, and then secretly picking up a roasted chicken knuckle and stuffing it into her cloth bag.

The husband remained arrogant at first but obsequious later. He was extremely haughty in front of others, but when facing his own master, he was meek and obsequious, always smiling.

Oh right, the Jiang family patriarch—the root of all this—is currently being played by the mayor of Shengyuan Town. To better fit the role, he's even sporting a ridiculous mustache.

There were also many more villagers, students, and Professor Zhang; everyone became a guest that day.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone seemed like puppets on a stage, performing predetermined actions and reciting predetermined lines.

"Thanks to Old Master Jiang, this bride...tsk tsk tsk, she's really beautiful. The Mountain God should be satisfied this year, right?"

The speaker was a villager, whose face still held the same indifference he was used to seeing, but his voice sounded mocking, making it extremely strange and comical.

"Yes, the mountain gods weren't very satisfied with those from a few years ago. After using them for a few days, they all threw them out. The appearance of the corpses in the end... well, it's indescribable."

"It's just that the Mountain God has too discerning tastes. I'm tempted by all those beauties, but who would have thought that he would completely reject them like trash."

“Even if his tastes are picky, we still have to do it. You know those mines; they've been completely drained by outsiders. Now they're only kept going by the Mountain God. If He stops, we'll all starve to death. Sacrificing a woman every year to please Him is worth it no matter how you look at it.”

The words chattered like flies, but soon, with a loud suona horn blast, everyone stopped moving.

The temple doors were slowly pushed open.

—The bride has arrived.

Those strange-looking creatures carried the sedan chair, and under the watchful gaze of Master Jiang, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, they walked step by step to the end, and then put the sedan chair down.

"The bride has arrived!"

However, only the sedan chair was seen, but the bride was nowhere to be seen—and of course, the groom was also nowhere to be seen.

However, everyone present seemed to be already familiar with the situation, and they all stood up, with smiles on their faces, whether genuine or not, and applauded.

"A perfect match!"

"A harmonious pair!"

May you have a long and happy marriage!

Praises poured in, more as a show of loyalty to the entity that would follow than as blessings.

So, no one saw a completely black cat jump down from behind the sedan chair.

Cangchuan looked at the scene, his hairy face showing no extra expression.

He was unfamiliar with the scene.

His memory of that year ended abruptly after that eye contact; revenge and fulfilling his last wish were things that happened much later. So this was the first time he had ever seen this wedding.

however

His heart still felt as if it had been torn in two, constantly conveying a sense of pain. Cangchuan looked at the festive sedan chair, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just slowly closed his eyes.

The person is long gone; what remains here today is nothing more than a group of clueless actors and a piece of history that must be corrected.

He never forgot his purpose.

It all started with a lie, and now he must end it all with a lie. The congratulations ended quickly.

There were no celebrations or eulogies at this wedding banquet, nor were there any formalities involving parents, matchmakers, or ancestral tablets. So after that part, the eating and drinking continued.

Regardless of their intentions, everyone was waiting.
The groom's entrance.

And so, some time passed.

The exquisite food on the table gradually turned into leftovers, and the once lively atmosphere gradually subsided—the main event should have arrived long ago by now—until everyone's voices became barely audible, the candlelight suddenly dimmed.

--coming!
Everyone looked up.

Suddenly, the curtain to the inner room was slowly pulled open, and shadows began to spread as if leaking out. Then, a huge figure slowly emerged from within.

however.

It does not have a human form.

At first, there was a slimy tentacle, and then immediately, there was a second, and a third.
Layer upon layer of tentacles reached out from the door and quickly covered the entire stage.

Each tentacle was covered with enormous suckers, and each tentacle was lined with sharp, twisted, and menacing teeth.

The viscous bodily fluid dripped onto the ground, producing a corrosive sound.

However, not a single person cried out in surprise at this bizarre sight.

As if they had been waiting for this moment, everyone knelt on the ground and began to bow and kowtow.

"Gao Chen, the town garrison commander of Shengyuan Town, respectfully welcomes the Mountain God of Xunshan!"

"Local magistrate Jiang Fengtian respectfully welcomes the Mountain God of Xunshan!"

"Magistrate Mei Chen respectfully welcomes the Mountain God of Xun Mountain!"

One by one, the people bowed down, but the tentacles ignored them completely. They slowly extended out, circled the bridal sedan chair several times, and even lifted the curtain to take a look before retracting.

Though no words were spoken, a certain emotion permeated the hall.

The mountain god seemed very satisfied.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The town mayor—who was also Professor Zhang—stood up abruptly and then tried to smooth things over.

"Since you are satisfied, sir, we won't waste any more words. Let's get to your wedding night as soon as possible—after all, no one in this town dares to object."

Otherwise.

Just then, a steady voice rang out.

"Who said there were no objections?"

Everyone was stunned.

Which bastard is so audacious as to cause trouble at this time?
Everyone looked back.

A young man was standing at the doorway.

The young man was leading a roe deer. He had a very ordinary appearance, the kind that you might not be able to spot in a crowd. But there was always a faint smile on his lips that made people feel close to him at first glance.

And
The man was covered in blood, that was obvious.

—It was a journey of fighting and bloodshed.
