Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 4 Exorcists

The new house has been given a fresh makeover and looks brand new.

Red velvet carpet, red curtains, red candles side by side, and the character for "happiness" in pairs.

A faint floral fragrance lingered in the air.

Luo Qingfeng stood at the door, looking at the decorations in the new house, and was somewhat hesitant to go in.

But in the end, he still lifted his foot and went inside.

Outside the window, the moonlight was dim.

The autumn wind, carrying a chill, swept past the windowsill and into the room.

The red curtains fluttered gently in the night breeze, as if welcoming his arrival.

The blankets and sheets on the bed have all been changed to red.

In the center of the bed sheet, a piece of white cloth was laid out to record the purity of the place.

The "double happiness" character above the bed is also particularly eye-catching.

But at this moment, they seemed so glaring.

Luo Qingfeng paused, walked to the dressing table, and looked at the mirror.

The image reflected in the mirror is silent and dark.

He couldn't help but think again about the terrible nightmare he had last night, and then about the horrific ordeal he had experienced today.

The Faceless Bride...

Was last night's nightmare a warning to him?

"call--"

Just then, a gust of night wind suddenly blew in through the window.

The red candle on the table flickered.

Luo Qingfeng's heart tightened, and he quickly went to the window and closed it.

"Where is the bride?"

It seemed like a voice was asking me.

He didn't know how to answer.

However, when he turned around, he suddenly saw a strange person sitting by the bed!

She was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, with a familiar red veil on her head. She sat there quietly with her legs together, silent and motionless, as if waiting for him.

"My husband, it's time to drink the nuptial wine..."

Luo Qingfeng's heart suddenly clenched!

"Young master..."

At that moment, that familiar voice rang in my ears again.

Luo Qingfeng woke up.

A familiar room, a familiar smell.

A red candle was lit on the table, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

At that moment, he was sitting in the bathtub, soaking in the bath, while Zi'er was holding a towel and rubbing his back from behind.

He just fell asleep while taking a bath and had another nightmare...

"Young master, what's wrong?"

Zi'er asked with concern, then added, "Where is the bride?"

Luo Qingfeng's heart pounded rapidly. He rubbed his head but didn't answer.

Zi'er stayed in the courtyard and did not go out, so she was unaware that the wedding had been canceled.

Luo Qingfeng closed his eyes, not wanting to say anything more.

He's not in the mood to talk right now.

The nightmare he just had had terrified him again.

If this continues, he'll be scared to death sooner or later.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Zi'er did not dare to ask any more questions and planned to ask others later.

After taking a shower.

Luo Qingfeng left the room and stood in the courtyard, questioning the meaning of life.

Before long, Song Wan'er changed into a plain white dress, carried the food, and walked into the courtyard, saying softly, "Cousin, you haven't eaten all day, have some food."

Luo Qingfeng was indeed hungry.

But thinking about what I saw during the day, I really lost my appetite.

Song Wan'er sighed softly and gently comforted her, "No one wanted this to happen, but since it has already happened, there's no use being sad. Sister Zhao'er, may your spirit rest in peace..."

"I'm not sad."

Luo Qingfeng interrupted her.

"I'm scared."

Having just transmigrated and immediately encountered this series of terrifying events, how could he not be afraid?

And until now, he hasn't regained any memory of the bride, so what is there to grieve over?

Song Wan'er paused for a moment, then whispered, "It really is terrifying... Only today did Wan'er realize that such things truly exist in this world..."

She didn't dare to say anything more.

Luo Qingfeng suddenly looked at her and said, "Do you think the bride will come back to me?"

Song Wan'er trembled slightly: "Cousin, don't...don't scare Wan'er..."

Luo Qingfeng did not speak again.

Nightmares came one after another.

He always felt that things weren't that simple.

After Song Wan'er left, he stood in the courtyard for a while before returning to his room with a feeling of unease.

Fortunately, Zi'er returned soon.

The maid seemed to have found out some information. After returning, she didn't ask about the bride again, but just looked at him with sympathy and told him to rest early.

Luo Qingfeng couldn't possibly sleep.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning, my mind kept replaying the nightmares from last night and just now, as well as the terrifying things I had seen during the day.

Last night I dreamt of a faceless bride, and today my "dream came true".

I just dreamt again that my bride suddenly sat on the edge of the bed. Could it be...?

Oh no! I'm going crazy!

I can't let my mind wander anymore!

He immediately forced himself to stop thinking, then closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep.

A sheep...

Two sheep...

Three faceless sheep...

Four rotting sheep...

Ahhhhh!

I'm going crazy!

"call……"

Just then, a gust of night wind suddenly blew in and opened the window.

Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

The window was empty; there was nothing there.

The moon seemed to have disappeared into the clouds.

It was pitch black outside, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The night wind whistled in through the window, making the red curtains dance, and the big red "double happiness" character pasted on the dressing mirror suddenly seemed to jump, as if trying to break free from the mirror.

Luo Qingfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

He quickly got out of bed, walked briskly to the window, closed it, and tightened the bolt.

Finally, the room became quiet.

He could clearly hear his heart pounding.

Go to sleep, go to sleep now.

If this continues, my mental health will definitely suffer, and I might really go crazy.

Go back to bed.

He had just closed his eyes when he suddenly heard a slight noise coming from under the bed.

mouse!

It's definitely a rat!

Don't scare yourself, go to sleep, keep sleeping!

He comforted himself, forcing himself to keep his eyes closed and stop overthinking.

But then, the red candle by the bedside suddenly flickered.

Then, a hand slowly emerged from under the dark bed...

"who!"

Luo Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes and leaned over the bed to look down.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his neck and dragged him under the bed. Then, a body pressed down on him, pinning him tightly to the floor beneath the bed.

The area under the bed was pitch black.

Luo Qingfeng couldn't see anything. In her terror, she tried to scream, but her neck was tightly gripped.

In extreme fear, he suddenly raised his head and bit down hard on the thing on his body!

The space is cramped.

The only weapon he can use to fight back now is his teeth!

Even if it's a ghost, even if it's a rotting corpse, he'll fight to the death!

He bit it hard!

The thing pressing down on them suddenly cried out in surprise, "Ah..."

Then, a woman's voice rang out: "Loosen... loosen my nose..."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, but did not loosen his grip.

Only after the hand on his neck was released did he gasp for breath, loosening his teeth slightly, but still biting down on that thing, his heart pounding, still in a state of extreme terror.

"Ah... let go! I'm a human being, a human being... If you don't let go, I'm going to hit you!"

The woman on top of him grabbed his vital point.

Luo Qingfeng trembled, and could only loosen his teeth, asking in a trembling voice, "You...you're the bride?"

Has another "dream come true"?

Has the dead bride returned?

"What bride? You're dreaming!"

The person on top of him covered his nose and said irritably, "I'm from Wangxing City. I'm here to talk to you. Ah... I'm bleeding... so much blood... it's my first time..."

The woman covered her nose, her voice trembling with tears; judging from her voice, she was probably a young girl.

Wangxingcheng?

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback upon hearing this, and his memories began to resurface.

Located more than 20 miles from Qingquan Town, Wangxing City governs the surrounding towns and villages.

The constables on horseback that I encountered outside Linshan Village during the day seemed to have come from Wangxing City.

He suddenly realized something.

"Are you a constable here to investigate the case in Linshan Village?"

The woman tore a piece of cloth from his body, covered her bleeding nose, and said arrogantly, "What constable? I'm a demon exorcist, a very powerful demon exorcist."

Exorcist?

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback, then his heart skipped a beat: "Was the massacre in Linshan Village carried out by demons?"

The woman immediately scoffed, "That's a demon!"

He then gripped his vital point tightly and said, "You were in Linshan Village today and came into contact with the corpses there, so I have reason to suspect that you may have been possessed by a demon!"

Luo Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then felt a chill run down his spine: "What are the symptoms if someone is possessed by a demon?"

The woman said, "I have all sorts of wild thoughts. I can't sleep at night. I scare myself. I always feel like there are ghosts everywhere. They like to bite people's noses. And even if I'm caught by a beautiful woman, I'm weak and impotent and can't get hard."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

"Hehe, just kidding, look how scared you are."

The woman released him: "I've observed you carefully just now, and you shouldn't be possessed by a demon yet. I came to see you tonight because I want you to come with us to Linshan Village again to help solve the case."

Luo Qingfeng, feeling overwhelmed by her presence, said, "My lord, could we talk outside?"

The woman refused, saying, "No, I prefer to talk in narrow, dark places, it's safer that way, just like you men also like to use narrow, dark places to find flowers and ask for directions."

Luo Qingfeng stared at her in the darkness: "Then how can you prove that you are a demon hunter from the city?"

The woman said, "No proof is needed, because I can kill you anytime."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then asked, "How can I help you?"

The woman's tone turned serious: "The villagers of Linshan Village were all killed by demons, and they've been dead for several days. You should have seen the village littered with blood and corpses when you went there to fetch the bride earlier today, but you didn't. Instead, you encountered a hospitable village chief and villagers, and you even went into a collapsed house and carried out the bride, who was probably already dead..."

"Therefore, we suspect that the illusion was specifically set up for you. As for the reason, we don't know either, which is why we need to bring you here to assist in the investigation."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly grasped the key point: "The bride who may have already died? You mean..."

"Yes, your bride may not be dead."
