Bizarre: Forced into an arranged marriage, his wife turns out to be a demon emperor?

The team members' reports made Yan Feng's heart sink even further.

This means that they are now practically blind, relying solely on their eyesight.

In this blood mist, the naked eye is the least reliable thing.

"Abandon electronic targeting, switch to psionic vision," Yan Feng commanded. "Maintain battle formation, centering on me, and advance towards the energy source core!"

Eight people stood back to back, forming a circle, carrying their weapons, and carefully moved step by step toward the center of the village.

They walked slowly, each step landing on the thick, sticky, dark red ground.

Along the way, they saw many human-shaped black stains.

Yan Feng rubbed the stain with his tactical boots, and it immediately turned to ashes.

These are carbonized traces left after a person is instantly evaporated by high temperature or high energy.

The entire village... is gone?

This realization put all the team members on their toes to the limit.

They walked for several hundred meters, passing through a patch of twisted house ruins.

The blood mist ahead seemed to have thinned a bit.

An outline appeared in their field of vision.

It was a huge old locust tree.

A person was sitting under the tree.

Yan Feng suddenly raised his hand, making a gesture to stop moving forward.

All team members immediately stopped and pointed their guns in that direction.

The figure was very clear.

He sat on a stone bench, with his back to them.

She was wearing an extremely inappropriate, garish red dress.

He's...eating?

"Click."

A crisp sound rang out.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the deathly silence.

"Who goes there!" Yan Feng shouted in a low voice, amplified through the loudspeaker, carrying a chilling aura.

That low shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in Lin Che's ears.

He jerked violently, lost his grip on the apple, and it fell to the ground with a "thud," rolling into the grass.

He looked up, and the slight abnormal paleness on his face vanished instantly, leaving only terror.

His gaze swept over the eight "people" who emerged from the blood mist.

He wore a completely black combat suit, a ferocious mask, and held a strangely shaped weapon that shimmered with energy.

This is no ordinary person.

Lin Che's heart clenched suddenly, and a chilling sensation instantly spread from his palm, along his arm, into his chest, and then disappeared.

[Ding! Your wife has activated "protective husband" mode, perfectly concealing all her presence.]

[Friendly reminder: In "Husband Protector" mode, your wife will feel extremely insecure and prone to outbursts, requiring extra comfort from the host.]

The system's voice rang in his mind, but Lin Che had no time to pay attention to it.

He needs to act now.

Play the role of the sole survivor who has just crawled out of hell, terrified and utterly humiliated.

"Who...who are you?"

Lin Che's voice trembled noticeably. He stood up from the stone stool, staggered back two steps, like a startled rabbit, ready to run away at any moment.

Yan Feng's gaze was fixed on Lin Che.

Judging from the other person's reaction, he was just an ordinary person who was terrified.

But... can an ordinary person survive in this SSS-level eerie realm? And even sit here peacefully eating an apple?

Yan Feng's right index finger rested lightly on the trigger guard, without relaxing for a moment.

"We are from the 'Dragon Group,' a national special incident handling unit, here to handle the unusual events here."

His voice softened deliberately, trying to soothe the other person, "What's your name? Why are you here?"

"Dragon...Dragon Group?"

Lin Che's eyes were filled with confusion and fear, as if he had never heard of this name before.

"I...I am Lin Che, and I am...I am a student at Jiangcheng University."

As he spoke, he pointed to the garish red wedding dress he was wearing, his face showing a mixture of humiliation and lingering fear.

"I originally went back to the village to see my second uncle... but the villagers said that my birth chart was special and could appease the 'ghostly anger' on the mountain, so... so they arrested me, forced me to wear these clothes, and wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for me..."

At this point, his voice trembled with tears, and his body shook even more violently.

"They nailed me into the coffin... I thought I was going to die... Then, I heard lots and lots of screams outside... I don't know how much time passed, but the coffin lid exploded open by itself, and I crawled out..."

"I...I'm so scared, I'm hiding here, I'm too scared to move..."

Lin Che's acting skills are nothing short of perfect.

The character of a college student who was sacrificed by his ignorant relatives, narrowly escaped death, and is on the verge of a mental breakdown is vividly portrayed.

These words perfectly explain why he was here and why he was wearing such strange clothes.

The members of the Dragon Group looked at each other, their eyes filled with emotion.

They have dealt with many strange incidents, and it is not uncommon for people to die because of feudal superstition.

If what he said is true, then this young man is really pitiful.

But Yan Feng remained unmoved.

He has faced death countless times and witnessed countless bizarre disguises.

The more flawless an explanation seems, the bigger the flaws may be.

"Who is the person you're talking about in this 'ghost marriage'?" Yan Feng's voice remained icy.

Lin Che froze, extreme fear flashing in his eyes. He pointed to the graveyard behind him, his lips trembling, "I...I don't know...They just said it was 'that person'...the master of this mountain..."

Yan Feng looked in the direction he was pointing.

The area was shrouded in blood mist, obscuring everything and leaving only a chilling, soul-chilling atmosphere.

"Captain, the satellite's energy detection source is in that direction," a team member whispered over the communicator.

Yan Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

Could it be that... this young man really did complete a "ghost marriage" with that terrifying SSS-level being?

Then, were they spared and even protected by that being?

This conjecture is absurd, but it is currently the most reasonable explanation.

"After you came out, did you see a 'woman'... wearing clothes similar to yours?" Yan Feng changed his question.

"woman?"

Lin Che shook his head violently, his face turning even paler. "No! I didn't see anything! I only heard screams! Blood everywhere! Everywhere... pieces of corpses... It was horrific..."

He crouched down, holding his head, looking like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

The alarm bells in Yan Feng's mind not only didn't stop, but they rang even louder.

It's too clean.

The young man named Lin Che had no bloodstains on him except for his red clothes.

In this place where even the air is filled with the smell of blood, how could a person who has just crawled out of "hell" be so clean?

"Number Seven, conduct a 'psychic entropy' test on him."
