The silver-haired man who called himself Qin Yu left after speaking. He didn't even have the patience to walk out of the mansion properly; his figure flickered and disappeared right before Su Jin's eyes.
Su Jin's gaze darkened slightly.
Only high-level evil entities can teleport without regard to spatial limitations.
The existence of high-level evil creatures in a D-rank dungeon was something she had never encountered before.
She clenched her fist, feeling the cold temperature of the diamond ring, and after hesitating for a moment, she put it in her pocket.
After Qin left, an old woman wearing a top hat entered the house.
The old woman, with a full head of silver hair, peered inside furtively, as if trying to confirm something.
The cross-dressing man was attending to the unconscious couple when Su Jin got up from the piano bench to greet them.
"Dear guest, how may I help you?"
Perhaps it was her radiant smile that startled the old woman for a moment. "You're the girl who's about to marry the owner of this place?"
Su Jin nodded. "Yes, is there a problem?"
The old woman stared at her for a long while, then patted her chest and stamped her feet, "What a fine young lady! Why did she have to be so foolish as to get married!"
Su Jin: "..."
I never expected the old lady to have such a sharp tongue.
The old woman grabbed Su Jin's hand and pulled her aside, her voice low, "The master of this house is a monster who eats people alive. Marrying him will only lead to your doom. You'd better find a chance to escape now, or it will be too late when the wedding takes place in three days..."
Before she could finish speaking, a cross-dressing man's voice suddenly came from behind Su Jin:
What are you talking about?
Su Jin calmly turned around, seemingly unintentionally shielding the old woman behind her. "Have your two guests woken up?"
The implication is that it's none of your business and you shouldn't bother me.
The cross-dressing man grinned, looking rather naive and innocent, and said, "But I heard her say something about cursing the wedding. According to the rules, she's a fake guest. We need to notify the groom immediately to have her arrested, or you'll be in for a world of trouble!"
He was very kind-hearted, and as he spoke, he tried to reach past Su Jin and grab the old woman.
The old woman panicked and tried to run away, but because of her age and frailty, she could only run a few steps.
Just as the cross-dressing man was about to grab the old woman, Su Jin suddenly asked:
Do you really believe in the rules?
The cross-dressing man paused, but resumed his actions a second later. "What else can we believe in besides the rules?"
Su Jin grabbed his wrist as it reached for the old woman.
He initially curled his lip in disdain, thinking he could easily break free from this seemingly delicate and pretty girl, but he discovered that she was incredibly strong. He weighed more than twice as much as her, yet he still couldn't break free from her grip.
After several unsuccessful attempts to resist, he became enraged:
"If you don't want to follow the rules, don't drag me down with you!"
Su Jin said calmly:
"I just want to remind you that the rules we obtained have most likely been completely corrupted. Corrupted rules only benefit evil beings, and following them will only lead to our death."
Taking advantage of the stalemate between the two, the old woman finally shakily ran out of the house.
The cross-dressing man watched her retreating figure disappear into the distance and angrily said to Su Jin:
"So what if the rules are corrupted? That groom is an evil being, and all the monsters in the garden obey him. We have no way to escape!"
The only way to survive for now is to follow the rules; only by surviving will you have a chance to pass the level!
Live Stream Room:
[This time I side with the eldest brother. He's right. Humans can't fight against evil. Even if they know the rules are corrupted, they can only obey them for now. It's a temporary measure when power is unequal. The newbie sister is smart, but she's still too inexperienced and doesn't think as thoroughly as the eldest brother.]
I used to have high hopes for this newcomer, but now it seems she's just wasting her time and will ruin herself sooner or later.
[My brother is too kind. If I were him, I wouldn't care about this woman and would let her do whatever she wants. Anyway, once she's dead, the bride will be my brother, and there'll be no need to fight over her.]
[Where are all those who said the older brother was trying to harm the newcomer? Open your dog eyes and see! This newcomer is like a dog biting Lü Dongbin—ungrateful for kindness. Did I say something wrong before?]
Su Jin wasn't angry at being yelled at by the cross-dressing man; she calmly let go of his hand.
"All I want to say is that evil is evil. Even if we compromise and tolerate it, or are even forced to help it do evil, it will only play right into its hands and lead us step by step to the most tragic end. It will never give us a chance to survive."
This is the experience she gained after going through more than ten dungeons and witnessing many human players risking their lives to put it into practice.
The cross-dressing man scoffed.
"Anyone can spout platitudes, but if the groom finds out what you've done, do you think he'll let you off the hook?"
Su Jin smiled at him. "What, are you going to report me?"
The cross-dressing man sneered, "Although we are competitors, I have principles and will not betray my fellow countrymen. I also hope you will not stab me in the back."
Su Jin shrugged. "We'll keep to ourselves. If you don't mess with me, I naturally won't mess with you either."

I can't stand it anymore, the newbies are so pretentious!
[He has no real skills, but he's incredibly arrogant.]
Those who disliked her before were truly farsighted; such people should be left to fend for themselves and learn the consequences of breaking the rules.
"You're only realizing this now? I told you long ago she was an ungrateful, selfish wretch with no self-awareness. She deserves to die."
[Those who are being misled probably haven't watched many live streams. Actually, what the newbie girl said isn't entirely wrong; many players who followed the rules corrupted by evil things did indeed end up badly.]
Yes, don't think that evil creatures will have a change of heart. They have no concept of contracts with humans. It's not that they'll let you go just because you obey; they'll only make you sink deeper and deeper into a deadly trap.
[Don't try to defend this woman upstairs. She's just a newbie to the game; how could she possibly know anything?]
Su Jin had no idea she was being scolded in the live stream; she reached into her pocket and touched the note inside.
The old woman had secretly slipped it to her when the man in women's clothing wasn't looking.
Meanwhile, the cross-dressing man greeted another new guest, a mischievous little boy.
The boy first asked for candy, then for a drink. The cross-dressing man painstakingly found it for him, but then he refused to eat it and whispered in the man's ear:
"Big sister, although you are ugly, I advise you not to trust Uncle Manor Owner because you gave me food. He doesn't really want to marry you. He just wants to cut off your head to plant flowers and use your body as fertilizer."
After hearing his words, the cross-dressing man's eyes lit up. "Little friend, thank you for reminding me. Let big sister give you a hug."
The boy smiled and opened his arms to embrace him, but the next moment he was grabbed tightly.
The cross-dressing man shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Come quick, darling! There's a guest in disguise here!"
The next second, the groom's figure, dressed in a white tuxedo, was cast onto the ground.
Su Jin turned her head to look, but only saw a blood-red mist enveloping the area.
When the blood mist dissipated, the original boy was gone, and the groom held a puppet doll in his arms.
The doll looked exactly like the boy, except that its eyes were replaced with black buttons and its mouth was sewn shut, so it could no longer be naughty or make any noise.
The groom smiled contentedly, reached out and tugged at the invisible strings controlling the doll's limbs in the air, and then emitted a sharp, childlike voice through ventriloquism:
Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness and harmony.
The originally joyous and auspicious congratulatory message sounded incredibly eerie.
The groom laughed heartily, "That's more like it. I told you, I only like obedient and well-behaved things."
As he spoke, his cold gaze fell on Su Jin.
Su Jin neither dodged nor avoided him, but returned his sweet smile as if no one in the world was more obedient than her.
When the groom saw her beautiful smile, a strong desire resurfaced in his eyes.
But he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
Any woman who steps into this garden becomes his property; no one can escape.
The cross-dressing man next to him had his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Live Stream Room:
[It turns out the puppet dolls in the house were all disguised wedding guests.]
[What fake guests? These people were just telling the truth. This groom is definitely not a good person.]
Did you notice what the little boy said earlier? So what exactly are those flowers in the garden... Mommy, I'm scared, I won't be able to sleep tonight.
[To be honest, I think it was wrong of the man to expose the kid. If the kid was kindly offering tips and providing information to help him pass the level, then wasn't the man betraying him?]
[He's just an NPC, why are people feeling sorry for him?]
NPCs can be good or bad, some are helpful to players. But betraying someone who helps you—what kind of kind person is that? I think even the newbie girl is less humane.
[The person upstairs with such poor comprehension skills, could they be a fan of the newbie?]
[Quiet down, everyone. Didn't you notice the newbie seemed to have a note in her pocket? It looked like the old lady slipped it to her. Could it be a clue to clearing the level?]
[If that's the case, we really underestimated the newcomer. She must have guessed early on that the 'disguised guest' had clues to clearing the level, which is why she protected the old lady.]
[It was just pure luck; newbies don't have that level of skill.]
...
That evening, Su Jin unfolded the note the old woman had given her in her room. The top line read "Escape from Marriage Guide" in large characters.
Escape from Marriage Guide:
1. Find out the truth about the wedding before it takes place.
2. Find the treasure that can kill the groom.
3. At midnight three days later, go up to the attic of the mansion, which is the exit from the estate.
It is important to understand that in order to implement the third point, the first two points must be completed first; otherwise, you will pay the most severe price.

Unlike the complicated and bizarre rules on the invitation, the guide to escaping marriage was written very concisely and clearly.
After reading it, Su Jin found matches in the room and burned the note to ashes.
Live Stream Room:
[The newbie burned the key information for clearing the game; are they not planning to tell the older brother?]
This woman is so selfish.
I don't think the newcomer is selfish. When the older brother was about to expose that old lady, she had already reminded him. Since the older brother chose to continue to abide by the corrupted rules, then it's time for everyone to go their separate ways and see who has the ability to survive to the end.
[If the older brother had heeded the newcomer's advice, he could have obtained the pass information too. He lost that opportunity because he insisted on betraying the little boy.]
[My opinion is the same as the person above. We're all adults here, and this is a survival game where the strong prey on the weak. Every player must be responsible for their choices. There are a few accounts that keep stirring up trouble and attacking the newbie girl; you guys are being ridiculous.]
Yes, the newbie obtained the clearance information through her own abilities; she doesn't owe the older brother anything, so we have no right to judge her.
[Seriously? Are you all this indifferent? Even if my brother made a mistake before, he just wanted to pass the level smoothly. He didn't have any bad intentions.]
[When the old lady appeared, it wasn't the eldest brother's fault at all. He only warned her because he was worried the newlyweds would be cursed. Afterwards, he didn't expose the newlyweds for protecting the old lady in front of the groom. And now the newlyweds are repaying him like this. Isn't this repaying kindness with ingratitude?]
[Yes, the newbie is selfish and vicious, and we can't even say it? She got the clearance information but didn't tell her older brother, isn't it because she held a grudge against him after their argument and wanted to get revenge and kill him? No matter how beautiful a woman with such a vicious heart is, she's still a menace.]
I initially thought the older brother meant well, but when I saw him betray the little boy without hesitation, I felt something was off. Do you think the newcomer was being wary of him by not showing him the note?
[My brother is human too, what's there for her to be wary of?]
[Upstairs, you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them. Didn't your mother teach you this?]
The live stream chat erupted into chaos once again.
Unlike before when there was almost unanimous support for the eldest brother, quite a few people have now started to speak up for Su Jin.
Some people have already followed Su Jin's live stream.
In the room, Su Jin sat on the edge of the bed, analyzing all the clues she had gathered so far.
Apart from the elusive male evil spirit who calls himself Qin Yu, the groom, as the owner of the garden and villa, controls almost everything here.
The groom's claim of a midnight wedding three days later was also a bloody and cruel hoax.
Moreover, this is very likely not the groom's first "marriage".
Before her arrival, countless "brides" must have perished here.
The blood of the victims stained the groom's mansion and garden, and the groom, in order to continue deceiving new victims, covered up all the sins with flawless white. But the resentment of the victims can never truly dissipate, and the glaring red will still occasionally break through the beautiful illusion of pretense, popping out to remind newcomers what once happened here.
The "guests in disguise" are actually people with a conscience. Their so-called "curse" is just the truth that reveals the sinister truth. Those seemingly beautiful "blessings" are lies that disregard the facts, the real curse that lures the victims step by step into the abyss.
The rules, which seem to be protecting players' lives, have been completely corrupted.
If a player believes the false rules and chooses to expose the "disguised guest" to the groom, the groom will turn the person who dares to tell the truth into a puppet who obeys his every command.
Players who have lost their last bit of help are left at the groom's mercy.
However, if the player chooses to believe the "disguised guest," they will receive a note with instructions on how to leave the area.
Given that this is only a beginner-level D-rank dungeon, and based on her own judgment, Su Jin believes that the note contains the real solution to clear the dungeon.
"Investigate the truth behind the wedding and find the treasure that can kill the groom—"
Su Jin's intuition told her that these two things must be related.
Perhaps in the process of investigating the truth, she will be able to find out where the treasure is hidden, instead of wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."
⑻ьOok． СOm
The heavy chimes of the mansion rang out again; it was already midnight.
Su Jin glanced out the window; the dark garden resembled a strange graveyard, and a crescent moon, like a sickle, hung in the gloomy night sky.
After staring at it for a while, the originally bright moon seemed to grow red streaks, gradually becoming ugly and unsightly.
Su Jin got up and drew the curtains.
Then she put on her shoes and opened the door without fear.
The mansion at midnight is the complete opposite of the one during the day.
The pure and romantic white has disappeared, replaced by a deep, chilling red.
Numerous cracks appeared on the walls on both sides of the corridor, resembling the cracks on human skin.
Su Jin looked down at the ground. The spotless white marble tiles, which were spotless during the day, were now covered with dried wounds from which fresh blood was seeping out continuously.
Live Stream Room:
This house seems to have come alive.
I feel like I'm inside the stomach of some deformed monster, riddled with holes.
Stop, don't even try to describe it, I'm going to throw up.
Anyone who's ever watched a horror movie knows that you should never leave your room at night in a place like this, right? So what were the newlyweds doing when they opened the door?
[Does she want to go out and see the world?]
[Even as a 1.8-meter-tall, muscular man with a six-pack, I was terrified just watching this on screen. How could a girl be so bold?]
The next moment, Su Jin stretched out her foot and stood expressionlessly on the bloody and terrifying ground.
Several pale hands reached out from the crack in the ground, trying to grab Su Jin's legs, but Su Jin's steps were exceptionally agile, dodging left and right with ease, and even dancing an elegant tango.
Not only did Ghost Hand fail to catch anyone, but it also got stepped on by Su Jin, leaving several shoe prints. Its fingers were almost broken off, and in the end, it became depressed and shrank back into the floor.
Live Stream Room:
[...]
[Such a mesmerizing scene! Is there any editing genius who can add background music for the newcomer?]
You still call her your sister? I declare that from today onwards, she is my older sister!
[So what if she can dance? What's there to brag about? When we encounter a real evil being later, she'll be no match for it.]
[The person upstairs is so stubborn. Is it so hard to admit that someone else is excellent?]
Su Jin originally wanted to play whack-a-mole with the ghost hands for a while, but no matter how she tried to entice them, the ghost hands refused to show themselves.
Seeing that they couldn't frighten her, the walls and floor stopped bleeding.
She sighed, had no choice but to stop her devilish dance steps, and walked listlessly to the hidden door leading to the sunroom.
The method to open the mechanism was the same as during the day, but the scene inside the passage had become indescribable.
Su Jin watched the chaotic dance of the puppet dolls, frantically buttoning their faces and tearing at the needle and thread in their mouths, and coughed softly.
All the dolls stopped moving instantly, and an eerie silence fell over the passageway.
Then they all turned their heads at the same time and stared at her.
Hundreds of black button eyes simultaneously gleamed with a deathly cold light, and a dangerous aura swept over them.

Live Stream Room:
These dolls look like they're about to eat people.
These dolls made from dead people really do eat people. Haven't you heard the story? A mentally unstable woman killed the man she secretly loved, sewed his body into her doll, and locked it in an abandoned old house in the countryside. Many years later, a homeless man moved into the old house, and at night the doll placed on his bedside table began to talk—
[Where are you upstairs? Hurry up and tell us what the child said!]
[The doll said, "Dude, can you please stop snoring when you sleep?"]
[roll!!!]
[Don't get sidetracked, look, the newlyweds are picking up the baby!]
Su Jin seemed completely unaware of how eerie and terrifying the atmosphere was. Without caring about her image, she squatted down, picked up the doll closest to her, and looked at it. Oh, what a coincidence, it was the little boy who had been stabbed in the back by the cross-dressing man.
She moved her right hand, and then, under the watchful eyes of the other puppet dolls, began to forcefully pry open the little boy's mouth.
The dolls: "..."
Oh no, we've run into a psychopath!
Live Stream Room:
What kind of person would go after even a baby?
[Feeling sorry for the baby +1]
[I'm dying of laughter at this newbie. She always manages to do the strangest things with a straight face, and afterwards she makes you feel like she's making a perfect sense.]
Have all the onlookers forgotten this is a survival game? What are these newbies doing? They know how to beat the game, why aren't they investigating the truth instead of wasting their time here?
[Don't speak too soon, or you'll get slapped in the face later.]
Su Jin kept picking at it until she finally managed to grab the thread sewing the boy's lips with her fingertips.
She said softly, "It might hurt a little."
The baby boy trembled in her arms.
The next moment, Su Jin exerted force and tore off the extremely hard silk thread.
Fortunately, the boy lost the ability to feel pain after turning into a doll. He only felt that the power that sealed his ability to speak had disappeared, and he happily began to speak:
"Pretty sister, what do you want to ask? I'll tell you anything I know!"
Live Stream Room:
See? I told you the newbie sister had a reason for coming here to play the plush toy game.
Every step the newcomer takes is part of a much larger strategic game.
[Quickly ask the little boy what those flowers in the house and garden are.]
[You should ask about the truth behind the wedding first.]
Shouldn't the first question be where the thing that could kill the groom is hidden? But I feel like the little boy wouldn't know something so important.
Contrary to everyone's guesses in the live stream, Su Jin raised the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile:
"I'd like to know, where does the groom live?"
The little boy was clearly taken aback, and a hint of confusion seemed to appear in his dark eyes.
"Pretty lady, are you going to go find him directly?"
Su Jin nodded: "Mm."
"But he's so scary! Aren't you afraid he'll turn you into a flower too?" the little boy asked, tilting his head in a childish voice.
The little boy's words confirmed a suspicion in Su Jin's mind.
Sure enough, the roses that can be seen everywhere here are all victims who have turned into roses.
The groom did not lie to her; he was indeed a highly skilled florist, but his works were all built upon the lives of others.
⑻вσOK． сoм
"Sweetie, tell your sister the answer."
Su Jin gently touched the boy's head, and the boy's porcelain-like face flushed slightly. He said obediently:
"The groom stayed in the only room on the fourth floor."
The fourth floor?
Su Jin seemed to be deep in thought. She had counted the stairs, and there were clearly only three floors.
Could the groom's room be the attic mentioned in the escape marriage guide?
That's why the guide told her to find something that could kill the groom before going to the attic, because as long as the groom was alive, he would be in her way.
In that instant of thought, the boy doll suddenly grinned, his previously docile smile turning into a bizarre and distorted expression.
"Darling, don't rush. There are only two days left until the wedding. If you can become my beloved bride before then, I will pamper you on our wedding night and give you the most romantic night of your life."
Su Jin lowered her eyes.
The groom has taken over the doll's body and is speaking through the boy's mouth.
Everything went as she expected. The groom was indeed able to remotely control the dolls, and could hear all her conversations with them even when he wasn't present.
But she didn't ask about the truth of the doll wedding, nor did she ask where the weapon that could kill the groom was hidden, not because she was afraid the groom would hear.
Rather, it was because she wanted to ask the culprit the most important question face-to-face.
"But I can't wait to come find you now."
Tell me, how do I get to the fourth floor?
In the dim, narrow passage, the beautiful young woman asked in a soft voice.
The alluring red light illuminated her delicate face, revealing the dangerous and aggressive glint in her eyes.
Live Stream Room:
The newcomers now are completely different from those before; they give off an aura that's even more sinister than evil spirits.
Did you notice her eyes?
Why do I have this urge to keep staring into her eyes when I look into them?
[How strange, I can't take my eyes off it either]
Suddenly, a bold red VIP comment popped up:
[This is a charm skill possessed only by high-level evil beings; it can hypnotize those she gazes upon and manipulate their minds.]
Immediately, someone retorted:
[What nonsense are you spouting upstairs? She's human, how could she possibly possess the skills of an evil being?]
Don't think you can act like an expert in front of your buddies just because you spend a little money to get VIP status. The newbie girl is just attractive because she has beautiful eyes. How could someone as gentle and kind as her be a bad person?
[Am I blind? Didn't that guy upstairs, who calls himself "the most handsome man in Beijing," keep saying bad things about the newcomer in his livestreams? How can he say something like that now? Has he been possessed?]
The red VIP comments reappeared:
The allure skill has varying degrees of effect on different people. Since we were only watching the live stream and not actually making eye contact with her, only those who already harbor desire for her or have weak willpower would be affected. However, if you were in the actual location—
Everyone who looks into her eyes will regard her as their one and only god, and they would not hesitate to do so even if she asked them to stab themselves in the heart.
This is power that only high-level evil beings can wield; this woman is definitely not an ordinary person.
[Wow, that's amazing! Is it real or fake?]
[Where did this lunatic come from, spouting such nonsense?]
The puppet doll being stared at by Su Jin, despite having only a pair of button eyes, was still bewitched by her.
The groom, hiding elsewhere and manipulating the dolls, felt an irresistible force at play, just as he controlled the dolls and flowers. This force undeniably took control of his self-awareness, compelling him to answer her question:
"The staircase leading to the fourth floor is in the sunroom."
⑻вＯok.COM

Just as Su Jin was about to continue using the "Charm" skill she had devoured from the high-level succubus to force the groom, who was possessing the little boy, to reveal more information, a crisp sound came from the end of the passage.
Then, the clock in the mansion, whose location was unknown and which Su Jin had never seen before, rang again.
The heavy, hoarse tinkling sound kept going, making Su Jin's head throb, as if someone was hitting her with a hammer.
Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, the groom detached himself from the boy, and Su Jin could no longer grasp his consciousness. She turned and walked towards the end of the passage.
The sunroom is behind that hidden door at the far end.
The noise just now and the bell that rang immediately afterward did not come out of nowhere.
Someone must have done something in the sunroom to trigger this series of "coincidences".
While all of this was happening, she was controlling the groom's consciousness. The guests had all left after dinner, and there should have been no one else in the mansion except for the soon-to-be-married couple.
So who could be the person secretly making these underhanded moves?
Su Jin skillfully used the mechanism to open the hidden door; her movements were already very fast, but she was still a step too slow.
She only had time to see a dark figure disappear behind the hidden door on the opposite side.
However, she already knew this person's identity; only he knew the secret of the right-hand passage.
Su Jin did not chase after them; her gaze was drawn to the shards of glass scattered all over the ground.
Without the glass blocking the way, the blood-red moonlight slanted in, shining entirely on those strange plants.
Having received nutrients, the plants became even more erratic.
The roses resembled human faces, and the branches and vines also had the outlines of limbs. This picture, which was neither flower nor human, was extremely distorted and disgusting.
Live Stream Room:
I'd rather watch a stew of female ghosts and zombies than watch this kind of thing.
From then on, I never dared to look directly at the flowers my mother kept on the balcony.
Everyone says women are like flowers, and I used to think that was a beautiful metaphor. But now, just thinking about those four words makes me want to vomit.
[The newcomer's mental fortitude is amazing; he didn't even flinch when he saw this thing, and he even dared to get closer to observe it.]
Don't you guys really think this dungeon's difficulty exceeds D-rank?
[Yeah, the D-rank dungeons I used to watch were just about finding something in an old house, and not opening your eyes even if you heard strange noises while you were sleeping. They weren't nearly as exciting as this big-scale event.]
[Yes, and there was that silver-haired handsome guy from before. He looked even more powerful than the groom, the big boss, and he didn't seem like an NPC who would appear in a D-rank dungeon at all.]
[Sob, I miss the silver-haired handsome man so much! I strongly urge him to appear and give the female viewers a visual treat!]
[High-level evil creatures are masters of disguise. Didn't the person upstairs consider that the true form beneath that silver-haired handsome man's exterior might be even more twisted than these people?]
As long as the silver-haired handsome man wears human skin for one day, he will be my idol for one day.
[A male god, my foot! I think he might be an evil god.]
[No way! Evil gods, as the pinnacle of evil power, are extremely rare, aren't they? There are only three known evil gods so far, and all of them have only had their names revealed by their followers in high-level dungeons, never showing their faces. How could we possibly see the true form of an evil god in a D-rank dungeon? Even an avatar wouldn't be possible.]
[Yeah, weren't they saying the evil gods are still sealed and haven't awakened yet? If the evil gods were actually strolling around the newbie dungeon and having romances, the world would have been destroyed long ago.]
The silver-haired man was barely at the threshold of the high-level; truly powerful evil beings wouldn't bother playing with a little girl.
The red bullet comments reappeared:
That male evil entity is indeed very strange; even my energy detector can't detect its frequency. The last time this happened was in the God Remains instance.
This comment sparked a lot of discussion:
[The VIp brothers are showing off again, talking about some kind of energy detector, making it sound so amazing, but it's all just empty talk.]
What are divine remains?
['Divine Remains' is the S-rank dungeon that Bai Shen streamed last time. Although Bai Shen eventually cleared it, his best friend died in the dungeon.]
[After clearing the dungeon, Bai Shen hasn't opened any new dungeons. There are rumors that he suffered too much trauma in the dungeon and has had a mental breakdown.]
[Impossible, Shirakami isn't that fragile. The person upstairs must be a hater of Shirakami, right?]
[Even if Bai Lan is powerful, he's still human, not a god. Inside the divine remains, he indirectly came into contact with an S-level source of contamination. That kind of mental pollution is said to exceed the limits of human endurance. Plus, his closest loved ones died right before his eyes; it's only natural that he couldn't withstand it.]
[Isn't mental pollution something that can't be completely eliminated? And it's S-level, so will Shirakami still be able to stream?]
⑧ьσoK. COM
The news reports that scientists from the Dawn Organization have made some progress in their research on curing mental pollution. Hopefully, Bai Shen can recover quickly and fight again soon.
If the White God truly falls, then the human camp will only have that mysterious Chosen Player left; he is our last hope.
Why use the character for "him" (他) with the male radical? Couldn't it be a female player?
[Haha, absolutely impossible]
[If it's a female player, then it's not hope, it's despair.]
[Why are you discriminating against female gamers? Believe me, I'll send you into a dungeon. Don't even mention comparing you to female pros; even in front of our newbie sisters, you're just trash. She could easily crush ten of you.]
[Your newbie sister hasn't even finished the game yet, and you're already praising her like this. What if she accidentally gets killed later? Can I just say that female players are just not good enough?]
The live stream chat was noisy again, but Su Jin, in the sunroom, couldn't see the comments and was focused on observing the rapidly growing human-shaped flowers.
They, or rather, their vines, struggled and twisted like limbs, as if scrambling to escape this place.
One of the rose petals, which had not yet bloomed, opened to reveal a bud inside that had transformed into a blood-red eyeball, staring intently at Su Jin.
Those eyes, filled with resentment and hatred, seemed tangible, sending chills down Su Jin's spine.
But she didn't show any fear; she simply met its gaze calmly and then asked:
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
The restless rose bushes suddenly quieted down.
Su Jin took another step closer, reached out, and slowly stroked the vine closest to her.
Her movements were so gentle, as if she were not touching an ugly monster, but taking another girl's hand.
Perhaps it was her act of kindness that calmed the flower; the restless, writhing vines did not harm her, but simply remained quietly in her grasp.
"I know you are not monsters, but girls like me who once came here with longing for love and marriage, only to be ruthlessly deceived and harmed by bad people, which is why you have become what you are today."
Su Jin looked at them, her eyes showing no fear or disgust, only unwavering courage:
"I will definitely free you. Please tell me where the stairs to the fourth floor are."
Each instance has its own source of corruption, from which the power of corruption emanates. Humans and animals corrupted by it become unrecognizable. Some, after completely losing their self-awareness, degenerate into evil creatures, while others with stronger willpower become inhuman and struggle painfully in the mire.
The source of the pollution in the "Bloody Wedding" was undoubtedly the groom himself.
Su Jin had already guessed the truth behind the wedding.
The roses throughout the estate are all the brides who were once deceived by the groom.
At midnight during the wedding ceremony, the groom performed a sinful ritual, transforming the women from humans into flowers for his viewing pleasure, satisfying his twisted fetishes.
The roses he left in the sunroom, the substandard ones he described, were girls that weren't so badly contaminated.
The seemingly beautiful roses in the garden have been completely assimilated by his evil will and turned into true evil creatures.
If it is only mildly contaminated, it can actually be salvaged through various means.
However, the people in front of her were so severely contaminated that it was practically impossible for them to fully recover their human form. But since Su Jin had seen them, she would not allow her compatriots to continue to suffer.
She vowed to kill the bridegroom, the source of all evil, to remove the corruption that corrupted them, and to grant them freedom.
Instead of being trapped in this pale and ugly cage forever, continuing to be that bastard's toy.
The people and flowers remained silent for a long time, and then they began to move.
They crawled around, revealing a small altar that had been covered by their bodies.
On the altar sat a small deer-headed statue, half of which was broken.
Su Jin frowned when she saw it.
This deer-headed statue looks familiar; there's one in the corridor too.
The person closest to her stretched out vines and wrote words on the ground:
Turn the deer head, and the stairs leading to the fourth floor will appear.
But someone came by just now, carrying a torch. We're afraid of fire, so we had to let him pass. He broke the deer's head, the mechanism is broken, and we can only wait for the groom to come down by himself.
Su Jin's face was cold and stern.
Someone is preventing her from killing the groom.

The groom was probably afraid of Su Jin. No matter how warmly Su Jin greeted him with her eloquent words, he remained hidden in the attic and refused to show himself.
"I've never seen such a cowardly evil creature as you. All you do is cower in your shell, yet you call yourself a noble young master. I think you should give up being the dungeon boss. You're more suited to being a green-headed old turtle."
"You can hide in your dark doghouse for a while, but can you hide forever?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that deer-headed creature is a statue of the evil god Cornunos, right? What, your little piece of trash, are you one of his followers? You're really disgracing him."
"You went to such lengths to find so many girls, not only to satisfy your disgusting and horrible fetish, but also to find sacrifices for your evil god, right?"
"You used their blood to appease the evil god and gain power, and then turned them into white roses. But you didn't expect that the lingering resentment of the victims would turn into blood again, staining the pure white illusion you painstakingly created."
"You are so afraid of death, yet you know that midnight is when their resentment is strongest, and you still set the wedding time for midnight. This shows that you have a reason to hold the wedding at this time."
"If I'm not mistaken, the so-called wedding is actually a ritual to worship the gods. You have made a divine pact with the evil god and must offer sacrifices at midnight every so often, otherwise you will suffer a backlash."
At this point, Su Jin curled her lips and smiled gently.
Her smile was so cold and sinister that at that moment, she seemed more like an evil god than the one she spoke of.
Live Stream Room:
[What's going on? This newcomer's smile is so powerful, it exudes a boss-like aura!]
Just by looking at that smile, I know this younger sister is definitely not simple.
[And she's so smart! She deduced so much information on her very first day in the dungeon. If it were me, I'd still be completely clueless.]
[I told you the newcomer was playing dumb to fool others, and some people even called her useless. Now they've all been proven wrong.]
Where are those accounts that kept smearing the newcomer? Why aren't they showing up anymore?
What she said is all just her speculation; who knows if she's right? To actually believe what people say—I think she's been sold out by an evil entity and is even helping it count the money.
Yes, the groom staying in the attic doesn't necessarily mean he's afraid of her; he might just be setting up a bigger scam.
Just wait and see, she won't be able to keep up her arrogance any longer.
The haters came smelling the scent.
These guys are really stubborn.
Of course, their toughest part is their mouth.
As more and more viewers support Su Jin, a few haters are immediately attacked with dozens of comments as soon as they appear.
The number of viewers watching the live stream also exceeded 10,000 at this time.
Conventionally, only dungeons of rank B or higher can accommodate this many players.
Su Jin was unaware that her live-streaming career had already achieved initial success; she was still focused on mocking the groom.
"So two days later, you must leave the attic at midnight to hold the ceremony."
When that time comes, I will be here waiting for you, along with everyone who harbors resentment towards you.
I promise you, we will give you an absolutely romantic and beautiful wedding. You will be the sole protagonist of the wedding; you will marry yourself and become a sacrifice to your own evil desires.
Finally, the groom's cold voice echoed from the void:
"You won't live to see that day; I'm eliminating you right now!"
He has corrupted the rules.
If he doesn't choose Su Jin as his bride and instead makes that ugly woman with the wig wear a wedding dress, Su Jin will be judged as breaking the rules, and he can eliminate her directly.
"Oh, I'm so scared."
Su Jin crossed her arms, pretending to tremble with fear, but her eyes were full of sarcasm. "Then kill me now, hurry up and do it."
Live Stream Room:
[Although the newcomer is very skilled, the groom is, after all, the final boss of the dungeon. Isn't it a bad idea for her to directly provoke him?]
[I feel the newcomer is a bit too impatient.]
[Having watched the live stream this far, I think the bride-to-be isn't impulsive. Her actions may seem casual, but they're all carefully planned. I believe she has a backup plan, and the groom definitely can't kill her. Do you believe me?]
[I don't believe it. You're just praising her blindly. Unless she has the luck of that chosen one, she won't get through this.]
[Yeah, how could a newbie player be stronger than a dungeon boss? She can provoke them all without any problem. Even the White God isn't as arrogant as her.]
The remaining bronze eye of the half-broken deer head gradually turned blood red, while the human flowers that had been guarding Su Jin gradually became pale and withered, their human features disappearing bit by bit, and they became listless and powerless once again.
The blood droplets rising from their bodies transformed into a giant red hand, viciously grabbing at Su Jin.
Su Jin simply stood still, not even flinching.
Live Stream Room:
Is she paralyzed with fear? Why isn't she running away?!
If that stag head is truly a statue of Kornus, then the remaining power of the evil god on it is definitely beyond what a newcomer like her can withstand. Don't try to fight it head-on!!
Is there any way to let the newbie see the comments, or even better, we could spend money to buy her protective items? We finally have a pretty and smart newbie; I don't want to see her die.
[This woman is finally going to die, and I'm so happy I could die!]
[I haven't felt this good in ages. I've been waiting to see her die.]
Haha, she deserved it.
Is the person upstairs crazy?
Seeing that the red hand was about to grab Su Jin, she still did not turn around and run away, but simply closed her eyes.
Just when everyone in the live stream thought she had resigned herself to her fate, a twist occurred.
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Before Hong Shou could even touch Su Jin, her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Seeing the fat meat that was about to be eaten escape without warning, Red Hand, though lacking facial features and unable to make expressions, showed its bewilderment by spinning around in place several times.
[Pfft, why do I find this red hand formed from the power of the evil god kind of cute?]
Thinking everything is cute will only get you into trouble.
Where did the new bride go? How did she suddenly disappear??
[Could it be that the system teleported her away?]
[Impossible, the system never teleports players who haven't cleared the dungeon out.]
[Given the newcomer's previous arrogant behavior, do you think she might have been hired through connections?]
[+1, she might actually be related to the system.]
Why doesn't the person upstairs just say she's the incarnation of an evil god?
[Am I the only one wondering if she might be the SSS+ cheat code holder who has never shown herself, the chosen player of the human faction?]
[Impossible. She's just a little clever and knows some rudimentary tricks. She could never be a big shot of this level. Don't be fooled by her act.]
Su Jin, who was suspected by many, reappeared.
She stood silently behind the deer-headed statue, holding a hoe she had picked up from somewhere.
Before Redhand could catch her breath and rush toward her, she raised her hoe high and smashed the deer head's remaining left eye with a bang.
The moment his left eye shattered, the red hand vanished instantly, and the groom's piercing scream echoed through the void:
You damned crazy woman!
The sound was indescribably unpleasant, beyond human comprehension. Su Jin dropped her hoe, covered her ears, and looked disgusted.
She's said it countless times: she hates these spineless, low-class evil creatures that only know how to hide in the gutter and whimper.
If this groom hadn't been protected by the power of the evil god, she would have bypassed the rules and killed him long ago, instead of letting him linger for so long.
Such a piece of trash is not worthy of being her food at all. Even if she mashed him up and fed him to the flowers, she was afraid that the flower sisters would find him smelly and not want to eat him.
"You, you dare to damage the statue of Lord Cornunos! Once he breaks the seal, you'll regret this, you wretched woman..."
The groom's extremely venomous curse of weakness was abruptly cut short before it could be finished.
Su Jin picked up the hoe again.
She didn't say a word, but her body language conveyed it very clearly:
If he dares to utter another word of nonsense, she will smash this broken statue to pieces.
The groom's voice was quiet for a moment, then he couldn't help but start talking again:
"It's no use. The statue of Lord Cornunos cannot be completely destroyed by someone as insignificant as you. Open your eyes and look carefully. The cracks on the statue are slowly healing. His great power will never run dry. You are just wasting your time..."
Before the groom could finish his rambling, Su Jin interrupted him with a cold laugh:
"I know this won't destroy his idol, and I never intended to. Don't forget, we have a wedding agreement."
The divine covenant between the groom and the evil god Cernunus was maintained by this low, dilapidated statue.
If she destroys the idol, she will actually help the groom break free from the constraints of the divine covenant.
Although the groom will lose the power of the evil god as a result, he will not have to hold the sacrificial ceremony two days later. As long as he stays in that attic and doesn't come down, it will be difficult for her to kill him.
He is still alive, so she cannot enter the attic and pass the level smoothly.
This was a new trap he set for her after realizing he couldn't simply eliminate her with the rules.
He bet she would get carried away by his words and impulsively remove the statue.
But he was wrong.
Every step Su Jin took was carefully considered.
She may seem indifferent to the rules, but no one understands them better than her, just as she is a master of strategy and knows how to exploit the weaknesses of evil to achieve her desired goals.
The groom stopped his provocations; his voice was filled with resentment and a hint of barely concealed fear.
"You're definitely not an ordinary human being. What exactly are you—something?"
Su Jin raised her head and smiled in a certain direction in the void.
The viewers in the live stream held their breath at this moment, because she seemed to have noticed that someone was watching her and looking directly at the camera.
The feeling of being looked at from behind by her reminded many people of a saying:
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.
Her gaze in that instant made most ordinary people feel as if they had briefly glimpsed the existence of an abyss.
"You'll know when the time is right."
The girl's bright black eyes sparkled with a dazzling light. Her youthful and beautiful face was magnified and projected onto the screens of everyone present. Everyone felt as if they were being watched by her, as if she could communicate with their souls through the screen.
When the time is right, you will all know who I am.
The live stream was silent for a minute, then someone sent the first comment, and the entire live stream was in an uproar.
8ЬοΟk.com
Did you all see that? Just now, the new recruit's gaze seemed to penetrate the screen. I felt like she was really looking at me. I still have goosebumps all over my body.
[Oh my god, I can't watch her live stream anymore, she's scarier than the evil spirits in this level!]
[Exit live stream +1]
Many people sent comments saying they wanted to quit, and the number of online viewers kept changing, but it was gradually increasing.
Many new viewers were recommended by friends and family. Suddenly, everyone in the various live streaming groups was talking about a new female live streamer who was very assertive, far exceeding the level expected of a newcomer, even surpassing the level of a human.
If it weren't for the fact that screenshots and screen recordings of the horrifying live stream videos weren't prohibited, people would have already posted Su Jin's previous high-energy moments on various social media platforms, easily racking up over a million views.
In the chaotic live stream room, bright red VIP comments towered above a dense array of text:
Be careful of this streamer, she's dangerous.
[VIP Bro is showing off again]
[Who can't see that something's wrong with her? If you're so capable, tell me exactly how she's dangerous.]
The red-colored bullet screen commenter, who usually doesn't respond to negative comments from other viewers, quickly replied this time:
Currently, there are only two possibilities. First, she is humanity's hope. Second, she is someone destined to destroy humanity's hope.
Many comments followed, all refuting and mocking:
[This woman is a bit strange, but there are plenty of skilled players in the human faction. She probably just played the dungeon before and got lucky with some rare items.]
[Is the VIP guy praising her so much just because she's pretty and he wants to be her simp?]
[VIP access to this thrilling livestream room requires a recharge of 9.99 million yuan. This VIP guy is really rich; maybe he can actually get it?]
[That would require the newbie to live long enough to be flirted with by him. You guys were so focused on the pretty girls, didn't you notice the evil god's power has appeared? Based on my experience watching thousands of livestreams, any dungeon even remotely connected to an evil god will definitely not be easy for players to clear.]
Yes, this dungeon is more than just a D-rank dungeon in difficulty.
At the same time, the system's cold, neutral electronic voice sounded:
[Player Su Jin triggered a hidden storyline in the 'Crimson Wedding' dungeon, upgrading it from a D-rank to a C-rank dungeon.]
According to the rules, players who enter the instance cannot hear any outside sounds, and naturally they cannot hear the system's announcements in the live stream.
Su Jin was unaware of the dungeon upgrade, and of course, it didn't matter whether she knew or not.
Neither D-level nor C-level could possibly trap her.
She withdrew the "counterattack" skill she had stolen from some unfortunate high-level evil creature, lazily yawned, stretched comfortably, and then turned to go back to her room to sleep.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to kick the bronze deer head statue on the ground, saying, "What a piece of junk, it's blocking the way."
The bronze statue had finally managed to repair itself, but then its antlers broke again. It raised its red eyes, now shattered into countless fragments, and stared intently at Su Jin.
That look seemed to say, "I'll remember you."
Su Jin suddenly turned around, giving the bronze statue an even more terrifying look, and smiled, "Lord Cornunos, you'd better really remember me. Because I don't like enemies I'm going to destroy who don't even know who I am."
Live Stream Room:
Am I hallucinating, or did the newcomer really threaten the evil god?
It's not that you're hallucinating, nor that I've lost my mind. It's just that this world of scrambled eggs has finally gone mad in the way we wanted it to be.
See? I told you she wasn't human!
[System, what are you doing? Why did you put an evil creature in as a player?]
Even ordinary evil spirits wouldn't dare to provoke an evil god, would they?
[Look how scared you all are. She's just an arrogant fool who thinks that because she's got some skills to deal with a low-level evil god statue, she can disregard even the evil god himself.]
This woman is great in every way, except she loves to show off.
[+1 She must not know that all the evil god statues are connected to the consciousness of the original being, otherwise she would dare to speak so arrogantly to Kornunos.]
You guys keep calling her an evil entity, and then you call her a crazy idiot, but I'm still convinced I'm right—she's definitely the hidden chosen one.
[The person upstairs is truly insane; the big shot who carries the hopes of all humanity could never be a little girl.]
Su Jin returned to her room unharmed and slept soundly through the night.
When she arrived at the lobby the next day, it was almost noon.
The cross-dressing man, now dressed as a maid, is diligently serving today's guests.
These guests were all incredibly difficult and mean-spirited, making even this burly man, who was 1.9 meters tall, so angry that he was moved to tears.
The moment he saw Su Jin, it was like seeing family; he was almost ready to run over and throw himself at her.
"Why did you take so long to come out? I thought something had happened last night. I was worried about you for so long!"
Compared to her elder brother's enthusiasm, Su Jin's attitude was extremely cold:
"I slept in and got up late."
She then looked directly at her older brother, smiled at his dark circles, and said:
"You look so healthy, you must have slept very well last night."
8ЬοΟk.com

Even though Su Jin's tone was flat and her voice was normal, it was still incredibly infuriating.
Live Stream Room:
[Hilarious, Sister Su can be sarcastic!]
There are only three people in this house. Was the person who tampered with the sunroom last night the cross-dressing guy?
[Isn't the cross-dressing guy also a player? Why is he helping the groom?]
I also think there's some misunderstanding here. It shouldn't be the older brother; I'm willing to believe he's a genuinely good person.
The cross-dressing man seemed completely oblivious to the deeper meaning in Su Jin's words. He frowned slightly, looking rather naive. "I didn't sleep well last night. After all, this is my first time entering a dungeon, and I was a little scared. But why do I feel like you're hostile towards me?"
Oh? Is this a contest of pretending to be stupid?
Su Jin is quite adept at playing dumb.
"How could that be? Brother, please don't wrong me."
Su Jin's voice was sweet and coquettish as she spoke, raising her hand as if to wipe away tears. "How could I, a weak and helpless little girl, dare to offend you? Your misunderstanding of me makes me feel so bad. If I become depressed, what will you do to make up for it?"
The cross-dressing man was stunned by her awkward performance, and after a long while, he managed to stammer out:
"If you're going to pretend, at least make it look convincing, okay?"
Su Jin abruptly lowered her hand, her gaze towards him icily and mocking, her voice instantly returning to its usual indifference:
"I'd also like to share this with you."
The cross-dressing man looked displeased, but before he could say anything, a clear and pleasant male voice came from behind him:
Please move aside.
He paused for a moment and turned around.
A silver-haired man wearing a black turtleneck sweater stood behind him, holding a bouquet of red roses.
The bright and flamboyant color of the red roses instantly attracted the older brother's attention, and he even ignored the silver-haired man's abnormally handsome appearance.
"There's no red in the manor, so you're definitely not a real guest."
Upon hearing his elder brother's accusation, the silver-haired man curled his lips into a slight smile.
"That's right, I'm not a real guest. I'm here to talk to Miss Su."
His smile was so elegant, yet it sent a chill down the elder brother's spine. "Are you going to report us to the owner of this place?"
Judging from his tone, he seemed like a humble gentleman making a polite inquiry.
But the man in women's clothing had a strong intuition. Without saying another word, he hurriedly returned to his troublesome customers.
The silver-haired man smiled and handed the roses in his hand to Su Jin. "I know you hate him, that's why I chased him away. You're not angry with me, are you?"
He was still wearing his gold-rimmed glasses today. The elegant lenses concealed the eerie and dangerous red glint in his eyes perfectly, but they couldn't hide the deep look in his eyes when he looked at her.
Su Jin remembered his name: Qin Yu.
His name truly reflects his personality; it's an extremely fitting description.
I just don't know if this is his real name.
Although they are different species, male evil creatures and men are very similar in some aspects of their nature. When they go out to pick up girls, they give themselves a false identity and can make up fake names and fake identities at will.
As the saying goes, a man's words are deceitful.
The male ghost's mouth is the most ghostly of ghosts; it can even fool an eighty-year-old grandmother into revealing her underwear.
Whether what he said was true or not, she didn't care, as long as his appearance was real.
"I remember the last time we met, someone gave me a ring and told me that I could only see him again if I wore the ring."
Su Jin did not take the rose from Qin Yu's hand, but asked him with a smile:
Do you remember who this person is?
Qin Yu laughed, "Then Miss Su must have misremembered. When I gave you the ring last time, I clearly said that as long as you wore the ring, I would come to find you no matter where you were. I didn't say that I would only come to see you if you wore the ring."
Live Stream Room:
[Why is this silver-haired handsome man so shameless? Sister Su didn't want to see him, but he just threw himself at her. At this rate, when will he ever manage to trick Sister Su into wearing a wedding ring and marrying him?]
Poor Mr. Qin, don't be so cheap next time!
Su Jin sighed, her expression ambiguous, and said slowly:
"There's one more thing that's on my mind."
Qin Yu tilted his head slightly, gazing at her with tender affection in his peach blossom eyes. "What's troubling you? Tell me so I can help you."
Su Jin's smile turned cold, and she said in a low voice:
"I've never told you my name, how do you know my surname is Su?"
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
The system told me that your name is Su Jin."
Qin Yu maintained the posture of holding flowers in his hands, his pale and handsome face filled with his infatuation for her. "As an evil creature chosen by the system to participate in the dungeon, my assigned task was to win you over. And from the first moment I saw you, I knew that you would be the only person I would ever win over in this life."
When a handsome guy makes that expression and says those touching words about wanting nothing more than her, practically no woman can resist.
Su Jin was no exception in this regard.
Everyone loves beauty, and Su Jin's greatest love in life is food, while her second greatest love is beautiful women.
But she didn't miss the hint of darkness that inadvertently flashed in his eyes.
This guy is definitely not telling the truth.
But that doesn't matter. Her principle is to only have physical attraction to beautiful women, not emotional attraction.
Of course, this beauty is not that kind of "beauty," and she is definitely not the kind of Frankenstein-like figure like the Nightingale Inn owner.
If the beautiful woman who seduces her is particularly dangerous, then for the sake of her own safety, she can only go through the stomach, and cannot even go through the kidneys.
"Oh, so you finally admit you're not human."
Su Jin licked her lips greedily, as if she had already taken the bait, and pressed herself against him, but did not touch the rose in his hand.
Qin Yu changed to holding the flower with one hand, while his left hand embraced Su Jin's slender waist.
Through the thin layer of clothing, Su Jin could feel his cold palms pressed against her warm skin, bringing a subtle, intimate shiver.
Su Jin frowned slightly.
Oh no, her body seems to be too attracted to this male evil being; if this continues, she could easily go astray and become possessed.
Before figuring out his background, it's safer to just take a small step.
Just as she was about to back away without making a sound, Qin Yu suddenly exerted force and pulled her directly into his arms.
He didn't make any further moves, but simply maintained this ambiguous position, holding her waist tightly.
Su Jin glanced at him with displeasure. "Hey, are you going to use force?"
Qin Yu smiled politely, "Of course not. I've said it before, I will always respect your wishes, no matter when or where."
Su Jin scoffed, "Then why don't you let go?"
Qin Yu still didn't let go, but lowered his head, his breath, seemingly carrying a faint fragrance, brushing against her sensitive earlobe, instantly turning it red.
"Shh, I'm not trying to take advantage of you."
Su Jin glared at him, raising the corners of her eyes.
His hand on her waist didn't say that.
Qin Yu's smile deepened, and his thin, blood-red lips rolled down even further...
Live Stream Room:
[Isn't anyone going to do anything about this? They're practically kissing!!]
[Waaaaah, I'm a huge fan of Qin Ge, and I can't believe I'm heartbroken so soon. But they're so sweet! I suddenly feel like shipping Qin Ge and Su Jie as a couple, what should I do?]
Are all girlfriend fans this open-minded these days?
To be honest, Qin Ge is really handsome, flawless from every angle, and he totally beats those young, popular male celebrities in China!
[That's right, only such a handsome devil is worthy of our Sister Su. Let's kill that disgusting, perverted scumbag groom to celebrate with Sister Su!]
[Waaaaah, I'm heartbroken too! I'm a huge fan of Sister Su's boyfriend, and I don't approve of this marriage!]
[When did Sister Su start having male fans?]
[Men aren't blind; who wouldn't love a girl who's beautiful, cool, and capable?]
[Who said that? Those haters who kept criticizing our Sister Su are blind.]
[You simple-minded people are so easy to fool! This woman's first live stream, her only achievement is surviving a D-rank dungeon, and you're all calling her "sister," how shameless!]
8BOOk.com
[Heh, this woman isn't that capable; she's just putting on a show. She can't compare to real pro gamers at all.]
[Yes, if Bai Shen were in this dungeon, she would have already cleared it smoothly with her teammates. Unlike her, who was only focused on flirting with the male evil creature, while being quite wary of her fellow humans.]
[She's just a shameless slut in heat. I feel disgusted just looking at her. She even did something as shameless as kissing a male demon. Anyone who marries a woman like that is doomed.]
[The person upstairs should take a good look at themselves in the mirror and stop acting crazy in the live stream.]
Have you guys noticed that these accounts that consistently criticize Sister Su always appear together? Do you think they might all be the same person?
Very likely
[Case solved! It's all because of Sister Su's immense charm. Some person with a dark side, unable to have her, made outrageous remarks in the live stream to poison the eyes of us netizens.]
Su Jin's haters were quickly silenced by other netizens after they started to emerge.
She was completely unaware of all this, because Qin Yu's lips were just an inch away from touching her earlobe.
Her earlobe was the most sensitive spot on her body. She twisted her waist impatiently, trying to get away from the evil thing's mouth, but he held her even tighter.
Just as she was about to forcefully break free, Qin Yu suddenly said in a very low voice:
"Everything that happens here is being watched by people in the distance. Our conversation can also be heard."
Su Jin paused slightly and looked up at him.
Qin Yu's eyes, hidden behind his glasses, gleamed with an eerie red light. What should have been a seductive color was now sobering.
"I'm not just talking about the groom. There are many people watching you from outside this world."
His eyes grew increasingly dark, and his voice lowered. In the end, his lips didn't move, but Su Jin could still clearly hear his words in her mind:
"That place should be what you humans call the real world. The people watching you are your fellow human beings. But I've heard that humans are greedy and cruel. When the system grants them the power to decide your fate, some of them will be more dangerous than evil beings."
Su Jin's face remained expressionless, as if she were unmoved by Qin Yu's words, but she was thinking a lot in her mind.
The scene Qin Yu described, where many people watched her experience in the instance, quickly made her think of the word "live broadcast."
In the real world, viewers in a live stream can tip the streamer and post various comments. The streamer can see all the comments, and the viewers' opinions will affect the streamer in real time.
But in the horror scenario, she can't see the comments and can only be watched coldly by the audience, which is not a pleasant feeling.
"When the system grants them the power to decide your destiny..."
"The will of bystanders will, to some extent, influence the fate of the character you play..."
Qin Yu's words largely echoed the reminder the beauty had given her before she entered the instance.
If the system really came up with such a messed-up live streaming mechanism, and there happens to be someone among the viewers who dislikes her and wants to kill her, then her situation will definitely be very troublesome.
But who cares?
Is Su Jin a woman who would be stumped by such a small trouble?
"Thank you for reminding me." Su Jin smiled at Qin Yu, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Why did he remind her of these things?
Was it because he had truly fallen in love with her?
Even ghosts wouldn't believe that.
"You've finished speaking, can you let go now?"
Hearing the little girl in his arms speak in an even colder tone than before, Qin Yu was not surprised at all as his beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into a smile.
"Don't rush, it's not over yet."
Qin Yu waved his right hand, gesturing for Su Jin to look at the rose in his hand, "Isn't this flower pretty?"
Su Jin frowned sharply after just one glance.
The once vibrant and beautiful rose, in the instant she looked at it, suddenly transformed into a blood-stained human head.
8ВOоК·Соm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Although the skull and facial features of this human head are perfectly shaped, it is still quite frightening when it is wrapped in decorative paper.
Su Jin looked up at Qin Yu again, and there was nothing above his neck.
His head, which should have been there, was instead used as a flower to give to her.
Male devils are more romantic than men; she gives him full marks for his creative gift idea!
Do you like the flowers I sent you?
The human head in the decorative paper opened its mouth and asked her with a smile.
Su Jin's gaze darkened.
Live Stream Room:
Holy crap, I never expected Brother Qin to be so handsome and so perverted!
This is the true definition of a yandere (obsessive and possessive) handsome man; he only gives away his own head as a gift!
Judging from Sister Su's expression, she must be angry. It seems Brother Qin's remaining body is going to suffer as well.
[Can't you see that our Sister Su is clearly feeling sorry for her?]
Immediately afterwards, Su Jin suddenly chuckled.
She reached out and adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses perched on the human head's nose, clicking her tongue as she said, "That's the downside of being nearsighted. Even if you turn into a human head covered in flowers, you still have to wear glasses. Suddenly it's not scary anymore."
She completely shattered the eerie and terrifying atmosphere, and for the first time, Qin Yu's handsome face showed a speechless expression.
But he quickly laughed, his head, now detached from his neck, still nodding gently. "Yes, Miss Su is right, so children must take care of their eyes!"
Live Stream Room:
[My god, what kind of insane conversation is this?]
"You wouldn't understand, this is our Sister Su and Brother Qin's unique way of flirting."
[The person upstairs is wrong. Sister Su is referring to Brother Qin. She's revealing that she doesn't like men who wear glasses.]
[I suggest Brother Qin wear contact lenses next time.]
Su Jin flicked Qin Yu's forehead from a distance and suddenly said something seemingly out of the blue, "Rules seven and eight."
Both rules mention red roses.
Article 7 states that a single red rose is hidden in this garden full of white roses.
To get rid of the fake groom in red, you first need to find red roses.
Article 8 states that when blood stains you red, do not doubt that the red rose is your head.
Now, Qin Yu, the fake groom, has arrived first, holding "red roses."
His actions told her two things.
First, the so-called "red rose" in the rules really does refer to heads.
The method mentioned in the rules for expelling the fake groom is actually to have the bride cut off her own head.
The bride is just a head, which is naturally the only "red rose" in the garden.
Without a head, there is no thinking, so the fake groom in front of her naturally disappears, and the bride no longer has a chance to escape. She can only let the real groom sacrifice his blood to the evil god.
The next rule then persuades players to believe that roses are a symbol of love. This is said in order to appease the players' resentment and make them obediently become the groom's toys, like the domesticated white roses in the garden.
This is the whole truth behind the Red Wedding.
Qin wanted to help her complete the first item in the guide, but the second thing was even more important.
The second thing is Qin Yu's face; he's really handsome.
Even with his neck severed and his face covered in blood, he was still impeccably handsome; his exquisite features perfectly matched her aesthetic preferences.
Su Jin looked worried and asked in a low voice:
"Can your head be put back in?"
If she can't put it back, she can reluctantly take it back separately and keep it as a keepsake; that's not impossible.
Qin Yu couldn't hear her true feelings and assumed she was reluctant to let him die, so a touching expression appeared on his face.
"Of course. I am an evil being, I won't die so easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, his head returned to its original position.
Su Jin watched him slightly shake his head and smile at her, and couldn't help but ask, "Are all the ways you evil creatures chase people this unique?"
The smile on Qin Yu's face vanished instantly, and he asked with a grim expression, "Have any other evil creatures chased you?"
⑻bОоK． Сοm
Su Jin: "..."
She was indeed pursued, but not in the way he imagined.
It's like being relentlessly chased by six or seven terrifying, evil creatures that reveal their true forms and crawl on the dark ground in a treacherous mass grave.
She paused for a moment, then asked in return:
"What do you want in return for helping me complete the game?"
Qin Yu smiled and said, "After leaving you yesterday, I've been waiting for you to put on the ring and call me, but you never gave me the chance. So I couldn't wait any longer. I just wanted to see you and help you out."
Su Jin didn't believe him.
Evil creatures are inherently greedy and cruel. They never help humans; they only give humans a taste of sweetness first, then trick them into signing unequal contracts, and finally extract huge profits from them.
Some human souls are so precious that they are taken by these beings.
Some humans have beautiful bodies, so they collect those bodies;
Some humans are exceptionally talented, and they collect their talents.
Some people possess beautiful emotions, and these emotions take away the people they care about most.
If the human who makes a contract with them has nothing of value, they will take away his body.
Su Jin had also visited the market of evil creatures, where human bodies and organs were sold by weight.
She asked in a low voice, "What do you want from me?"
The handsome, silver-haired demon removed his glasses, revealing a mad, sinister crimson gleam in his dark pupils, yet his smile remained restrained and calm. "I want all of you."
Su Jin's heart skipped a beat.
The aggressiveness in his eyes was so strong that she couldn't ignore it.
After a moment of silence, she said with a cold laugh, "Coincidentally, I want all of you too."
Her SSS+ skill "Devour" is used to devour evil creatures and steal their power.
Let's see who gets what they want in the end, her or Qin Yu.
"I will definitely keep my promise to you. That ring is our token. One day, you will willingly wear it and become my bride alone."
After saying that, Qin Yu's figure disappeared from the spot.
Su Jin turned around with a cold face, ignoring the evil guest who came forward to ask her to pour water.
The guest stomped his foot and roared, "How dare you break the rules? I'll call the owner here to punish you!"
Su Jin sneered, "You'd better hurry up, I'm getting impatient with the knife I've already sharpened."
The guest stared at her in shock, his mouth agape.
The man in women's clothing walked over and whispered, "This distinguished guest, please allow me to serve you."
The customer turned around, saw the man dressed as a maid, and looked at him with disgust.
"No, you're too ugly. Give up. The master here is very particular about looks, and he will never choose you as his bride."
The cross-dressing man gritted his teeth inwardly.
You deserve to be ignored, you face-obsessed jerk! The groom isn't as shallow as you!
The groom did not show up until the end of the day.
But when he returned to his room, he saw a line of words on the white wall:
"Congratulations on being the chosen bride. Please put on your wedding dress at midnight the day after tomorrow and attend the wedding on time."
The cross-dressing man breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, a strange smile appearing on his usually honest and simple face.
It was 11:50 p.m. the following day.
The man in women's clothing walked through the passage on the right and came to the sunroom alone.
The pure white wedding dress remained in its original place.
I don't know what the groom did, but tonight the roses in the sunroom are all perfectly normal, sitting quietly in place like real flowers.
The cross-dressing man looked at the roses with apprehension; he clearly knew what these flowers were.
He carefully avoided the roses and went to the clothes rack to take down the wedding dress.
The whole process went smoothly, and no one bothered him.
The accident happened just as he was taking off his clothes to put on his wedding dress.
