Chapter 10 (1/2)
“Dig up the grave?!” Xiao Tangqiu was dumbstruck; he couldn’t quite believe his ears. Was this some kind of joke? The man in the suit merely pissed a little on that tombstone, and he was given such a painful death. If they actually dug up this person’s grave, wouldn’t they end up dying without a bone left?
Tang Mianmian jumped up in shock, “Fuck! Jiang Zihan just died ah!”
Luo Mansu had a serious expression on his face, “If this is part of the plot, then nothing will happen to us if we dug up the grave.”
“Then what if it’s not?” Xiao Tangqiu asked.
Luo Mansu shrugged, “Then we’ll wait for the ghost to come claim our lives.”
Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “So, you’re also not sure if it’s part of the plot or not?”
“If I knew everything, I would’ve lifted the curse and left this God-forsaken place a long time ago,” Luo Mansu replied honestly. “Do you guys dare to?”
After a moment’s silence, Xiao Tangqiu nodded his head. “We’ll take a gamble!” Right now, they were trapped with no way out, it was better to take that risk.
“We’ll dig up the grave tomorrow morning. It’s really late now. Let’s go back and rest first, recharge our batteries. Who knows, we might be faced with a fierce battle tomorrow.”
Tang Mianmian sighed in relief. Doing something like digging up a grave was too trying on the nerves. Thank goodness they weren’t planning to dig at night……. Although, digging in the day was hardly any better…….
After they agreed on that, the three of them turned to head back into the house. On the way back, they came across that corpse again. Xiao Tangqiu’s mood was a little complex at the moment, but he knew – that dead body was probably just the start.
That night, Xiao Tangqiu found it hard to fall asleep. It wasn’t until daybreak that he finally dozed off. He had only slept for a bit before he was woken up by Luo Mansu.
Tang Mianmian and the rest of them had also been woken up. When they got to the living room, they realized that that the fish on the table had been replenished, but they still looked just as unappetizing. Seeing the fish, their expressions turned ugly. But after going hungry for the whole night, everyone chose to eat some. After all, they weren’t sure how long they’d be stuck in this place. It was impossible to go without food for so many days.
In the midst of grabbing their plates, someone suddenly exclaimed, “There….. There’s one less plate!”
Xiao Tangqiu swept his eyes across the room and noticed that everyone had a plate in their hands but there were only three plates left on the table. There were altogether twelve plates, whereas yesterday, there were clearly thirteen plates.
Luo Mansu snickered, “What are you making such a fuss about? He’s already dead. Should another plate be prepared to grieve for the dead?”
Except for Luo Mansu, everyone’s faces drained of color. They finally realized that the man in the suit was really gone. This wasn’t a prank; death could come for any one of them at any moment.
“Last night, Xiao Tangqiu, Tang Mianmian and I discovered a grave at the back of the house. It may have something to do with the mission. Does anyone of you want to come dig it up with us?” Luo Mansu asked.

After eating, the three of them went looking for tools and eventually found a few shovels. They started to dig immediately.
At first, Xiao Tangqiu was a little worried. But nothing happened even when he sunk his shovel into the soil. He let out a sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves and continued to dig.
Finally, a coffin came into view after they had been digging for some time. The coffin looked really fancy; it was of good quality and didn’t look like the type of coffin that a regular fisherman could afford. But if it was someone from Yun Manor, then it would be fitting……. From just one look, they could could tell that the people from Yun Manor were wealthy. Then why was a woman from Yun Manor buried in such a shabby place?
“Should…should we open the coffin?” Tang Mianmian gulped, his voice overflowing with nervousness.
Xiao Tangqiu was also a little uneasy. According to how horror movies and horror games went, the corpse would definitely spring back to life when they opened the coffin. They obviously didn’t have a black donkey hoof, should he get ready to run?
Luo Mansu didn’t give them any time to prepare, opening the coffin at once. Tang Mianmian screamed his lungs out.
Luo Mansu glared at Tang Mianmian, “Why the fuck are you shouting?!”
Tang Mianmian sheepishly replied, “Um…. I’m just trying to create the right atmosphere for when the corpse moves…….”
Luo Mansu snapped, “ Moving corpse my ass! Do you see a corpse inside?”
Tang Mianmian and Xiao Tangqiu looked down – indeed, there wasn’t a corpse. Inside the coffin, there was only a paper doll in a crimson wedding dress.
The paper doll in the wedding dress was decked in gold and silver and adorned with jewellery. What was most strange was that a woman’s features had been painted onto the paper doll. The paper doll’s painted features were lifelike and vivid. A pair of eyes that seemed to contain a bitter resentment looked straight at the three men.
