Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Ghost Marriage
Zhou Mi called her best girlfriend to confirm, then said to Huang Xiaolong, “Master Huang Xiaolong, it was Erfang’s mum who picked up the phone, she’s at home, but… lately, she’s been acting strange. Her mum was crying while she was talking on the phone… sigh~ Let’s hurry over and see.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded his head.
At once, the three of them drove to visit Zhou Mi’s best girlfriend “Erfang” where she lived.
Erfang was considered a top female live-streamer in the country, earning a handsome salary every year. Thus, the district she lived in was quite nice.
Arriving at Erfang’s house, they knocked on the door.
The door opened, and they were greeted by a woman of delicate features, distress etched onto her face.
“Auntie! I am Erfang’s bestie, you can call me Mimi. This is Master Huang Xiaolong, a renowned ghostbuster, and this is Miss Xia Ying,” Zhou Mi spoke quickly.
“Please come in, please come in,” the woman quickly ushered Huang Xiaolong and the others into the house.
As soon as they entered, Huang Xiaolong could feel an eerie chill envelope the room. However, this level of spectral energy, while grim, was not deadly.
“Auntie, where is Erfang?” Zhou Mi exclaimed, craning her neck to look around.
The woman said in a low voice, “She’s sleeping in her room. She didn’t respond even after being called for a long time, and didn’t come out for lunch. This child… I don’t know what… what has beguiled her. She’s become a night owl, sleeping during the day, waking up just before dinner, immediately applying makeup, putting on a bright red outfit, and wandering around aimlessly outside…sigh~ Such a wretched fate!”
“Auntie, can we go in and see Erfang?” Zhou Mi pleaded.
The woman nodded her head.
Zhou Mi ran over and carefully opened the door of a bedroom.
Huang Xiaolong and Xia Ying followed.
The room was decorated in shades of pink, resembling a princess’s room, equipped with high-end computer gear, as well as microphone speakers, guitars, pianos, and other musical instruments.
Erfang typically worked in her room, singing songs, and the like for her livestream viewers.
On the bed, a woman lay straight. Her figure was nice, and she was quite beautiful, but her face was pale and her sleeping pose was akin to a corpse. Moreover, the corners of her mouth drooped while she was asleep, forming a ghastly expression that made people’s hair stand on end.
“Erfang!” Zhou Mi rushed over, fraught with worry.
“No need to call her,” Huang Xiaolong laughed lightly. “She’s possessing a specter. No amount of calling will wake her up, unless she wakes up herself.”
Finishing his sentence, Huang Xiaolong made a tour of the room and finally picked up a red envelope from the computer desk.
This red envelope didn’t look like a regular one; it didn’t have the characters for “joy” or “longevity” on it, instead, it was filled with some strange, twisted characters that resembled ancient inscriptions.
The envelope had been opened, and there was a stack of money inside.
But it was not RMB, it was – Joss Paper!
“It’s… death money…” Xia Ying glanced at Huang Xiaolong, her scalp slightly tingling. “Little Long, what’s written on the red packet?”
“It’s Yanwen. It’s a language used by spirits for communication, simply put, it’s text written for ghosts to read.” Huang Xiaolong smiled faintly. “Do you know what the content of these Yanwen characters is?”
Both Xia Ying and Zhou Mi shook their heads blankly.
“It’s a wedding invitation. The bride’s name is ‘Miao Erfang’… her Chinese zodiac birthdate is also on it.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“Uh~ Erfang… Erfang’s last name is Miao.” Zhou Mi’s face was full of horror.
“The groom’s name is ‘Lai Jiawei’. The wedding is located in the ‘Pearl Osmanthus District’…the time is tonight, at 8:15.” Huang Xiaolong grinned.
Xia Ying and Zhou Mi froze in shock.
Several seconds later, Zhou Mi managed to find her voice. “Tonight, Erfang is getting married? I… I’ve never heard her mention it…”
“Hahaha, this is a ghost wedding. Of course, she wouldn’t tell you. The groom is a ghost.” Huang Xiaolong raised the red envelope. “Remember, don’t pick up red envelopes casually on the road. Especially these big red envelopes, picking them up can invite trouble. I think, this Miao Erfang picked up this red envelope on the road, and was immediately blinded by the ghost, mistaking the Joss Paper inside for RMB. Then she was bewitched by the specter. The Yanwen characters also appeared on the packet. That is to say, the moment she picked up this red envelope, she was identified as the bride-to-be of a vicious ghost.”
“Oh, Little Long, now I understand. No wonder the adults always said when we were young, if you find money on the ground, you must spend it right away and not keep it overnight. Because this money could be life-purchasing money.” Xia Ying said in a shaky voice.
“Little Long, what do we do now… Is Erfang going to marry a ghost tonight? It’s so scary… Erfang is still a virgin, we can’t let a ghost tarnish her.” Zhou Mi cried out in despair.
“The wedding location is the ‘Pearl Osmanthus District’. I think that so-called groom ‘Lai Jiawei’ is the owner of the haunted house that suddenly appeared in the district. He’s looking for a wife, and he found Miao Erfang.” Huang Xiaolong looked at Miao Erfang, who was lying still on the bed. “I can easily erase the spectral energy on her. However, to avoid startling the specter, I’d rather not disturb her for now. Tonight, we’ll follow Miao Erfang to that haunted house. I’m going to get rid of the groom! Hahaha~~~”
Huang Xiaolong felt more and more excited the more he thought about it.
Then, the three of them sat on a small sofa in the room, waiting for Miao Erfang to wake up.
“Sigh~ just thinking about it is scary. So that’s why Erfang’s live-streams over the past few days were of her aimlessly wandering around the haunted district… to familiarize herself with the area in advance…” Zhou Mi said, turning pale.
By the time it was a little past 4 pm…
Suddenly!!!!!
Miao Erfang, who had been in a deep sleep, sat up abruptly, stared straight at Huang Xiaolong and the others.
Like a living corpse!
“Ah~~ Erfang, you scared me to death!” Zhou Mi screamed, quickly dodging behind Huang Xiaolong.
“Hee hee~~ Hee hee~~~” Miao Erfang stared at Zhou Mi, bearing a ghastly smile, “You’re here? Good, good, indeed a good girlfriend, tonight is my wedding day, good that you came…”
“Erfang… you… you…” Zhou Mi stammered, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say, feeling nothing but chills down her spine at the sight of her good girlfriend’s present state.
“I need to put on makeup.” Miao Erfang got up from the bed, sat at the dressing table, and meticulously began to apply her makeup. With the corners of her mouth turned upward in an eerie smile, she stared at her reflection.
Suddenly!
The image of Erfang’s face in the mirror changed to another face! It was a man’s face, but gruesomely distorted, with haphazard wounds, skin flayed, and bleeding.
“Mm~~ I’ll arrive early tonight.” Miao Erfang’s expression softened, her eyes gentle as spring water, as she softly spoke to the grotesque male specter in the mirror.
As if she was chatting with her lover.
“Hee hee~~ Hee Hee~~~” In the mirror, the terrifying male specter’s gaze suddenly swept over to Huang Xiaolong!
