Chapter 74 - Ghost’s Bride (10) (2/2)
Bai Xi Xing witnessed all those strange things, including the talking teddy bear and the evil demon coin. In addition to his surprise, he also felt inexplicably relieved. He believed that Cheng Zhi Chu would be able to find his cousin safely.
“Then be careful.” Bai Xi Xing thought for a moment before adding seriously, “If you run into something dangerous, you must protect yourself first. Finding my cousin can come later but the most important thing is for you to come back safely.”
“Thank you senior, I will.” Cheng Zhi Chu’s heart felt warm. He nodded in response.
“I’ll wait for the good news.” Bai Xi Xing said and suddenly spread open his arms. A smile formed on his handsome face, “Here, let’s have a hug. Even if———-”
Suddenly the smile on his face stiffened and his words stopped.
He could feel a strong hostility directed at him from the groom. Although he didn’t have a head, it was as if he was glaring straight at him. He felt a chill run through his spine and for a moment he couldn’t continue speaking.
“———–Don’t worry about the hug. It looks inconvenient with what you’re wearing.”
Bai Xi Xing very fluidly changed his words. He took out his phone and said: “Well then………Junior, I have a little request. Can I take a photo of you as commemoration?”
He looked up and down Cheng Zhi Chu and his eyes showed a sign of appreciation.
Although he didn’t know why Cheng Zhi Chu was wearing a wedding dress, it didn’t stop him from admiring it. Cheng Zhi Chu was slim and skinny, and his skin is pale. With the white wedding dress wrapping around his slender waist and the veil falling past his shoulder, it highlighted his delicate and pure appearance and made him look especially stunning.
Yes, when cousin comes back in the future, he would be happy to see this photo………
Bai Xi Xing had a smile on his face. Although he was met with Cheng Zhi Chu’s resistance, he managed to persuade him to take a photo. As for the groom, he was easy to convince. Bai Xi Xing just said that he was taking a wedding photo for the two of them and the groom quietly gave him permission.
After Cheng Zhi Chu fled from the villa, Bai Xi Xing appreciated the photo for a while. The smile on his face then gradually faded and he stored the phone away. He looked coldly at the body on the ground and said quietly:
“If Junior Cheng is unable to find my cousin………I’m afraid your whole family will meet the same fate as you Elder Li.”
…………
According to the location mentioned by Elder Li, Cheng Zhi Chu and the groom arrived at Xin Hua Street north of the city.
After they left the villa, the groom once again used his powers and made it so that others couldn’t see them. When they arrived at Xin Hua Street, Cheng Zhi Chu found it very strange. It was empty and quiet, and no one was around.
Although this wasn’t the city centre, and is in a relatively remote location, it is still rare for it be to completely empty. At this moment, the sky had dimmed, and the streetlights had lit up. The shops on both sides of the street had also turned on their lights but, through the windows, there was no figure moving around.
Something doesn’t seem right……..
Cheng Zhi Chu frowned. He scanned his surroundings with some vigilance. He then threw the coin again. This time, he was looking for the specific location of Mr. Mu’s place of residence.
“Clang——”
This time, the little demon didn’t appear, and had returned inside the coin. The blood coloured coin fell into Cheng Zhi Chu’s palm revealing the clown side. It then bounced a few times, fell to the ground and followed forward.
[Follow me.]
The coin rolled very fast in front. Cheng Zhi Chu pulled along the groom and they chased after it, eventually entering a narrow alley. For the whole duration, they turned around and around in the intricate alleyways before finally stopping in front of a very ordinary looking house.
Cheng Zhi Chu picked up the coin. With the coin in the palm of his hand, he assessed the house before him. This place was an old residential area. Most of the buildings were small one storey houses. The roads were covered in pits and are both dirty and narrow. There were even lots of water puddles on the ground.
The building that Mr. Mu was said to have stayed in was one of the small houses here. Past the rusty iron door, you could see a small courtyard and several small houses inside.
What was strange was, apart from the front door being locked, the other houses inside had their doors open and the light inside were lit up. Despite this, it was silent. They couldn’t hear any sounds, and they didn’t see any human figures.
The uneasiness inside him grew stronger and stronger. Even if Mr. Mu’s whereabouts are currently unknown, Cheng Zhi Chu knew that he would not leave his home unattended. He planned to toss the coin again to make himself a little luckier.
As long as he doesn’t directly run into Mr. Mu, there shouldn’t be a problem……..
Cheng Zhi Chu pursed his lips and threw the coin. He suddenly felt his body go cold and an invisible hand grabbed his wrist causing the coin to fall through.
【Zhi Chu………]
The gentle and calming voice belonging to Bai Yi rang next to his ear, but this only made Cheng Zhi Chu’s expression suddenly change. A chill ran through his spine ——— He knew that this was not Bai Yi. “Winter Branch” had once again appeared!
Why did he have to appear at this time?!
Cheng Zhi Chu opened his mouth and wanted to call for the groom who stood next to him, but it was sealed shut by “Winter Branch”‘s kiss. His lips and tongue were passionately entangled, and he couldn’t even make a single sound. With wide eyes, he watched the coin fall to the ground.
It was the devil’s side.
Cheng Zhi Cu was shocked. At this moment, strange sounds suddenly could be heard coming from the surrounding houses.
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
It was like a butcher’s knife was heavily cutting through something. There was also the sound of the blade cutting through flesh and the sound of bones breaking.
“Thud! Thud thud thud……….”
A human head with large wide eyes rolled out of the door, leaving red blood stains behind it.
The head rolled over to the groom’s feet. Small black bugs climbed out from the semi-rotten face which revealed dark red rotting flesh and a smelly odour. Its eyes rolled around a few times before looking over at Cheng Zhi Chu and the groom. Its mouth then slowly split apart.
The groom crushed the human head with his foot. Thick brain matter and smashed flesh scattered around. More human heads rolled out from the houses. Their protruding eyes all swept over to Cheng Zhi Chu and the groom and their mouths opened wide into a creepy grin. Soon they were surrounded.
“Thud!”
A headless body jumped over the wall and fell onto the ground like a sack of rice. It staggeringly stood up and reached out to Cheng Zhi Chu.
The bear sitting on Cheng Zhi Chu let out a growl and revealed its sharp, white fangs. It jumped up and immediately landed on the headless body before biting it a few times. It fiercely tore at the body’s flesh, rending it immobile and finally collapsing to the ground.
Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes widened as he watched all of this happen, but his voice and movements were sealed by “Winter Branch.”
The groom was surrounded by heads and corpses and had his back towards him for a few seconds but, during these few short seconds, Cheng Zhi Chu was dragged by “Winter Branch”’s invisible hands to hide in a dark corner.
The groom crushed a head and turned back to look at where Cheng Zhi Chu was standing earlier only to see that he was gone. At the same time, he heard a sharp cry. It was Cheng Zhi Chu’s voice.
“Zhi Chu!”
The man violently pushed away the corpse bodies surrounding him and ran towards the direction of the sound. However, the real Cheng Zhi Chu was imprisoned in the corner by “Winter Branch”. With a terrified heart, Cheng Zhi Chu watched the groom be led away by a voice that resembled his.
【I’m very happy. Zhi Chu.]
【Now no one can bother us.]
He could feel the hands of “Winter Branch” slowly caress his face. It then moved down and with a “rip”, the skirt of his wedding dress was torn, revealing the pale legs underneath.
【This dress is too unsightly.]
“Winter Branch” said this in a low voice: 【Don’t wear it anymore. I’ll help you take it off.]
!
Cheng Zhi Chu panicked. He glanced at the coin on the floor with the corner of his eyes only to see with horror a rotten limb slowly climb towards the coin bit by bit. It held onto the coin and then threw it into the air.
“Clang!”
The blood red coin once again fell onto the ground and revealed a side.
Again, it was the devil’s side.

Zhi Chu’s not here.
I have nothing that I want to say.
