You made all the streamers on the internet kneel before you when you were asked to make a game.

The color drained from the village chief's face the moment he saw the small hand.

The expression on his face was a thousand times more intense than when he saw the night watchman.

He turned around and tried to run away.

But that pale little hand, seemingly ignoring the distance in space, stretched out instantly and grabbed the village chief's ankle.

"ah--!"

The village chief was forcibly dragged to the ground.

A little girl wearing a red dress and with two pigtails appeared.

Lu Zhixing's breath hitched.

He finally understood where the clear, crisp sound of the copper bell that had saved his life came from.

is her!

It's that little water ghost girl from "The Embroidered Shoes"!

"Let me go! Let me go! You wicked child!"

The village chief struggled frantically, trying to pry the girl's hands off.

But the little hand remained motionless, like an iron clamp.

The little girl's dark eyes turned to the zombie king and the night watchman who were fighting fiercely inside the ancestral hall.

Then his gaze finally fell on the figure in red wedding dress in front of Brother Long.

She tilted her head, a hint of confusion and closeness showing in her dark eyes.

Then, in her childish yet hollow voice, she softly called out to the ghost bride.

"elder sister?"

The word "sister" seemed to silence the chaotic ancestral hall for a moment.

The ghost bride in front of Brother Long suddenly trembled.

Then he slowly lowered his head.

Two lines of black, bloody tears silently slid down her cheeks.

This heartwarming scene is set against the backdrop of the village chief's agonizing screams as he is torn to pieces.

The little girl seemed to ignore the village chief's wailing.

She simply dragged the village chief step by step toward the ghost bride.

Then with her other hand, she grabbed the hem of the ghost bride's dress and gently shook it.

It sounds like she's being coquettish, but it also sounds like she's complaining.

In the Federation's live stream, all the players who witnessed this scene were completely stunned.

[Holy crap? I didn't see that right, did I?]

[Have "The Embroidered Shoes" and "The Red Veil" collaborated?]

Amidst the shock across the internet, the little girl had already dragged the village chief close.

She released her grip on the village chief's ankle.

Then, together with her "sister," they looked down at the village chief who was paralyzed on the ground.

The village chief was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and bowels, making incomprehensible "hoho" sounds.

The little girl stretched out her pale little hand and gently placed it on the village chief's crown.

"You...bullied...my sister."

Her voice was deliberate and clear, each word distinct.

next second.

"ah--!"

The village chief's screams abruptly stopped.

His body withered away at a visible speed, and all his vital energy and soul were instantly drained by the little girl.

All that remained was a dried-up corpse, skin and bones.

After doing all this, the little girl raised her head and looked at the ghost bride again, as if waiting for praise.

Meanwhile, the battle inside the ancestral hall was also nearing its end.

Without the control of the village chief's bell, the zombie king became sluggish and was eventually burned to a crisp by the more skilled night watchman using the green flame of his human skin lantern.

The night watchman glanced at the little girl and the ghost bride, but ignored them.

Instead, he slowly turned around, carrying a lantern, and walked out of the ancestral hall step by step, disappearing into the night.

The entire ancestral hall was now empty except for Lu Zhixing, Brother Long, and the two ghost sisters who had just become "close friends."

The atmosphere became quite awkward at one point.

Just then, the densest dark clouds that had been hanging over the village of the unjustly dead seemed to have dissipated somewhat.

A cold system notification sounded in the ears of all surviving players.

[Congratulations to players "Science Cult Leader" and "Rampaging Dragon Bro" for successfully solving the core mystery of the Village of the Wrongfully Dead.]

[Chapter 1 of *Reincarnation*: The Wrongfully Dead, First to Reach Enlightenment.]

[Settlement of customs clearance contribution points is underway...]

[Player "Scientific Cult Leader," as the core planner in this event, solved multiple puzzles, contributing 95% of the strategy, and is rated S.]

[Reward: Hidden job change item "Judge's Pen (Fragmented)" x1.]

A black brush, with a glint of cold light at its tip, appeared out of thin air in Lu Zhixing's hand.

Although it was only an incomplete item, the eerie aura emanating from it made him realize that it was definitely a treasure.

[Player "Rampaging Dragon Bro," as the core executor in this event, lured away the powerful enemy at the cost of "sacrificing his body," contributing 80% and receiving an A rating.]

[Reward: Special profession "Ghost Walker (Son-in-Law Version)"]

Brother Long was stunned.

A spirit medium?

That sounds pretty awesome.

But what the heck is that "son-in-law version"?

He quickly opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Berserker Dragon]

[Identity: Outsider]

[Occupation: Ghost Walker (Son-in-Law Version)]

[Professional Trait 1: Affinity for Yin Energy. You are more easily accepted by Yin entities, but also more likely to attract powerful Yin entities.]

[Profession Trait 2: "Softie" mentality. Your "wife" will protect you, and you can command her to fight for you to a limited extent by expending mental energy. The deeper the bond, the stronger she becomes.]

[Occupational Trait 3: Yin-Yang Imbalance. Due to prolonged association with yin elements, your yang energy has been significantly depleted, reducing your maximum health value by 20% and permanently leaving you with a "pale" complexion.]

Looking at his stats, Brother Long was completely stunned.

Especially the third one.

He found a mirror and touched his face.

In the mirror, his face was deathly pale, as if he had been covered in three pounds of flour, his lips were blue, and his eyes were sunken, making him look exactly like a young master suffering from kidney deficiency due to excessive indulgence.

How the hell am I supposed to go out and face people after this?

What devastated him even more was that the ghost bride beside him seemed to have become even more possessive of him after the system's settlement.

She silently pulled out a rusty pair of scissors and a thicker red thread.

Judging from the way they were going to sew up his other hand as well.

"No! Don't!"

Brother Long was so terrified that he let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

The live stream audience was laughing hysterically.

[Hahaha! I can't laugh anymore! Officially certified gigolo!]

[Brother Long, just give in. Look how much your wife loves you; she's even planning to get you a partner.]

[The world where only Brother Long is injured has been achieved again! Congratulations, Brother Long!]

From then on, the Federation lost a hunky male streamer and gained a shady pretty boy.

Brother Long was on the verge of tears.

He looked at his handsome face, which had become so "ghostly," and then at the ghost bride beside him, who was holding scissors and glaring at him, and his sister-in-law, who was clinging to her sister's clothes and staring at him with her pure black eyes.

He screamed in despair, "How can this game involve forced buying and selling?! I want a divorce! I want a refund!"

The ghost bride silently raised the scissors.

Brother Long immediately backed down.

"Honey, I was just kidding. Look at this line, how red and festive it is!"
