Chapter 121 Prison (16)
As he was about to step onto the stairs, Shi Yunan felt something was wrong.
This atmosphere is so wrong, so weird.
Shi Yunan looked at the originally clean and tidy gray-white stairs, which suddenly became desolate at this moment.
There was a very old "囍" character pasted on it, as if the upstairs was no longer a prison cell, but a wedding room that the newlyweds were about to move into.
"The year is cold and cloudy, the first day of October is cloudy, what can comfort me for joy, what can comfort me for worry, no joy but too sorrow, the beauty in red makeup sheds tears..."
A desolate and sad female voice sounded, singing slowly.
"Who is singing?" Xiong Ling held the machete and looked around vigilantly, but did not see any ghost.
Shi Yunan listened to the song and was silent for a while, but his mind recalled a similar scene when he just entered the first copy.
He couldn't understand why most of the victims in marriages were women?
It was clearly a happy day, but they were not happy at all and were extremely sad instead.
Shi Yunan felt a little bitter in his heart and felt sad and sorry for them.
"The year is cool and cloudy, the first day of October is cloudy..." The song continued, as if the woman was trapped in a quagmire that was trapped in an infinite cycle and could never escape.
The singing became sadder and sadder, and even contained a hint of resentful crying.
"The first day of October on a cloudy day is called the Cold Clothes Festival on the calendar, which is one of the three major ghost festivals." Liu Ruoyan suddenly remembered this when she heard the song.
"Generally speaking, it is taboo to get married on Ghost Festival, but the content of this song is actually about getting married on Ghost Festival, this..."
It is hard not to think about how much "cannibalism" is hidden behind this story.
Looking at the tattered "囍" character on the stairs, it was like a huge mockery that women have been treated as victims since ancient times.
"It's okay, go ahead," Shi Yunan shook his head, feeling that the female ghost had no intention of hurting them.
The other four nodded, and the two Liu sisters were even less afraid.
Women have always helped each other. They died with injustice and hatred and became evil spirits. Although they were kept here by obsession, as long as they did not have the intention to kill her, she would naturally not harm them.
Sure enough, the moment they stepped onto the stairs, the singing stopped, and the scene of the dilapidated staircase with the tattered Chinese happiness character faded away and returned to its original appearance.
"...Maybe you can ask us for help, we will do our best to help you," Liu Ruoyan finally couldn't bear it and said with pity.
Rather than staying here and being tortured for eternity, Liu Ruoyan hoped that she could be reincarnated and live a new life.
"Thank you..." The female ghost was stunned. She obviously didn't expect that someone would be willing to help her.
"It's my duty," Liu Ruoyan pursed her lips. She didn't know whether the decision she just made was right or wrong, but she didn't regret it.
Li Zi was standing beside them, smiling, turning the axe gently in his hand, letting the blood dry on it without wiping it off.
"The people who persecute you are at the management level or above, right?" Shi Yunan asked speculatively.
Prisoners have no right to hold weddings in prison, yet they can hold weddings here openly.
That person must have great power, otherwise no one would refute his ridiculous behavior.
"It's the warden..."
The female ghost finally revealed herself in mid-air. She was wearing an intricate bright red wedding dress with long, hanging hems embroidered with many intertwined branches and mandarin ducks.
She had a red veil on her head, and her black hair was half draped behind her. From the exposed skin on the back of her hands, one could tell that her skin was as white as cream.
Xier floated down from mid-air, raised her soft white hands above her head and lifted the veil, revealing her extremely beautiful face with a radiant look.
Except for Shi Yunan, the other four people held their breath when they saw her beauty, and stared blankly at the petite and delicate female ghost in front of them.
"My name is Xier, and I'm the warden's second concubine." Xier clenched her veil tightly in her hands, bit her beautiful lips tightly, and her face showed embarrassment and anger.
"Concubine? Aren't we all practicing monogamy now?" Xiong Ling scratched his head and said it directly without any hesitation.
"Be quiet and listen to her!" Liu Ruoyan impatiently punched Xiong Ling on the head.
It's understandable that the beauty has a bad temper.
Xiongling was muttering something in his mind, but he actually kept his mouth shut.
"I was originally framed and imprisoned, but I didn't expect that the warden would take a fancy to me and take me as his second concubine right after I came in. In order to avoid any more trouble, he held a wedding on the Ghost Festival without any hesitation."
"I refused to obey and wanted to commit suicide on the wedding day, but he found out and sent people to keep a close watch on me. He then tied me up and forced me to get married."
As she spoke, tears of blood fell on Xier's face. Her desperate and weeping eyes and her weak and petite body all revealed how miserable she had been treated behind the scenes.
"The warden is a beast. After getting me, he got tired of me after a while and threw me to his men one after another... I hate him so much!"
Xier's weeping eyes suddenly turned fierce and angry, and a thick black fog lingered around her.
The beautiful, brand new wedding dress also became tattered and worn out, with traces of being torn by many people remaining on it.
"I hate it! I hate it so much! After they tortured me to death, they were afraid that I would turn into a ghost and come back to avenge them, so they actually found a Taoist priest to suppress me here, hehe..."
Xier shouted angrily towards the sky, her ferocious and terrifying expression made her pretty face disappear, and shocking scars appeared on her skin.
Gu Mengyi was frightened and hid behind the boss, trembling all over.
So scary, so scary. Could such a beautiful girl be so scary after turning into a ghost?
Gu Mengyi couldn't help but shudder, and at the same time he remembered that Su Niantao also looked so terrifying when he passed the first copy.
But is this what they want?
If possible, they also hope that they can live a happy and beautiful life, instead of becoming evil ghosts like they are now, trapped in the copy forever.
A feeling of sadness welled up in Gu Mengyi's heart and he looked at Xier with pity.
"Suppress..." Shi Yunan murmured with his head down. Perhaps he could break this formation.
Logically speaking, there is a 90% chance that the key to leaving the prison gate is in the warden's possession.
But it doesn't mean that if the warden is too cunning, he can give the key to his loyal subordinates for safekeeping, just to increase the difficulty for the players who have passed the level.
