"Ah!"
Suddenly, a mournful scream rang out, scaring everyone present. It sounded as if they were experiencing the most painful torture in the world.
Zhou Zhenguo and the others, who were standing in a daze, were startled awake by this scream. They subconsciously turned their heads and saw that Big Stone, who was trying to take the opportunity to escape, was surrounded by golden flames. The raging flames automatically enveloped him without any wind.
The big rock rolled on the ground in pain. Its two hands grabbed the bricks on the ground tightly. Due to the intense pain, its fingers were deeply embedded in the ground. The sharp stone pierced through its finger. Blood dripped out, but it was quickly evaporated by the flames. The air was filled with the smell of blood.
However, the pain that seemed to come from his soul could not be diverted by his will.
"Great…Great God, you can't look directly at God. I know my mistake.!”
Big Stone tried his best to stand up. He looked at Wei Yiyi, his silver eyes cold and detached. He stumbled over and wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the intense pain made him fall to the ground the moment he got up.
He subconsciously rolled on the ground, rubbing his body against the ground to ease the pain, but it was all in vain.
When Big Stone's painful screams gradually died down, Zhou Zhenguo saw that there were no ashes left on the spot. Other than the bricks that Big Stone had scratched, the surrounding bricks were not affected by the golden flames.
This scene that seemed like divine punishment made Zhou Zhenguo and the others gasp.
In the next moment, Zhou Zhenguo and the others became nervous. The fear of death pressed down on them.
However, when he turned to look at Wei Yiyi, he realized that the holy silver color in her eyes had faded and gradually turned into normal black pupils.
Those black eyes that were like black gemstones had lost their divinity, and humanity was now the dominant one.
Although Wei Yiyi was still looking at them coldly, compared to the arrogant look in her eyes just now, the Wei Yiyi in front of them made them heave a sigh of relief.
At this moment, they felt the same way as Big Stone.
He would rather face Wei Yiyi, who had turned into a source of pollution, than face a god who could not be looked at directly.
"Could it be that Wei Yiyi's body can't support the descent of the gods for long?”
This guess floated in his heart because God Can't Look Directly at Them could have killed them directly, but he didn't do anything. Therefore, this seemingly reasonable thought rose in Zhou Zhenguo's mind.
However, Zhou Zhenguo was obviously overthinking things. Chen Che did not make a move because he had promised Wei Yiyi to decide the fate of everyone in the Wei family manor.
As for Xiao Shi's death, it was because of the soul contract. Although it had no effect on him, it was obviously to annoy him. He naturally would not let him stay.
Previously, he did not deal with the big rock because the pollution source in the incubation had diverted his interest. Now that he saw the big rock, he killed it in passing.
"Yiyi! I won't allow you to kill them!"
At this moment, a furious voice came from not far behind.
Ever since Wei Yiyi left the bridal sedan chair, Fan Yingying had been holding back without Zhou Zhenguo's orders. But now, she could no longer hold back.
After Wei Yiyi was released from the restriction of gambling dice, the paper men in charge and the guards resumed their activities. They quickly captured the second generation of the Wei family who was closest to them.
Ignoring the other party's struggles, screams, and pleas for mercy, the steward took out a pair of red scissors and gently cut the body of the second generation of the Wei family. With a sound that sounded like cloth tearing, the second generation of the Wei family was cut into a palm-sized paper figurine in the blink of an eye.
This was still not enough. The steward held the paper figurine of the second generation of the Wei family in his hand and lowered his head to begin refining it. He had to cut the height, weight, size, and appearance of this paper figurine to be exactly the same as the previous servant.
This scene made the Wei family's hearts palpitate.
Previously, because there were too many people, their fear was not very strong. In addition, they were self-proclaimed upper-class people and could not lose their composure and lose face. At this moment, they finally could not hold it in anymore. Death was too close, and they completely lost their rationality.
All of them wanted to escape, but before they could take two steps, they realized that they were surrounded by paper human guards who were staring at them.
Their living space was slowly being eaten away by the paper puppets. In the end, their rationality collapsed. They shouted at Wei Yiyi and begged for mercy incoherently.
However, Wei Yiyi ignored them. She looked at Fan Yingying with a dazed expression.
She was sixteen years old this year. When she was eight years old, her mother brought her into the Wei family. When she was young, Fan Yingying's parents had not divorced yet. Therefore, she could see Fan Yingying at the Wei family's manor every year.
She had also become friends with Fan Yingying at that time. However, due to their personalities, they often had small conflicts and quarreled. However, every time they quarreled, Fan Yingying would come to play with her again the next day as if nothing had happened.
Those were the beautiful memories that belonged to her in the past eight years.
However, when Fan Yingying was fourteen and she was twelve, Fan Yingying's parents divorced. From then on, although the contact between the two of them had faded, she, who was trapped in the villa, often missed Fan Yingying. After getting a phone, the first person she contacted was also Fan Yingying.
It could be said that Fan Yingying had contributed a lot to her being able to persevere from studying for more than ten hours a day. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a spiritual sustenance.
However…
In response to Fan Yingying's question, Wei Yiyi only looked at her and sank into reminiscence. However, she did not stop the steward from recruiting servants and maids.
When the second member of the Wei family was cut into paper figurines, Fan Yingying suppressed the fear she felt towards the paper figurines of the maids around her. Gritting her teeth, she walked up to Wei Yiyi and grabbed her hand.
However, in just a moment, a bone-piercing chill came from her hand and spread all over her body, making her shiver. She subconsciously shook off Wei Yiyi's hand.
Fan Yingying herself was stunned by this swing. She said guiltily," Yiyi…your hand is too cold. I'm sorry, I…"
As she spoke, she grabbed Wei Yiyi's hand.
This time, she endured the shocking coldness. Even though she was shivering from the cold, she did not let go. She said sincerely," Yiyi, come back to the investigation bureau with us." Brother Li is right. You're so powerful now. If you join the Investigation Bureau, no one will be able to restrain you in the future. You can do whatever you want. You'll be free in the future! Also, that thing about not looking straight at God and liking to occupy people's bodies is definitely not something…"
"Shut up!"
Wei Yiyi angrily rebuked. This time, she took the initiative to shake off Fan Yingying's hand, her face cold." If there was no God, I would have died in Wei Mengning's place."”
" I…I…" Fan Yingying knew that she had said the wrong thing. She lowered her head and stared blankly at Wei Yiyi's hand that had been flung away. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Then, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked straight at it and almost cried out in surprise.
Wei Yiyi's hand had been grabbed by her twice just now. Her wide sleeves were lifted up, revealing her slender and fair forearm. However, there were purple spots of different sizes on his forearm.
If Fan Yingying was not mistaken, this was livor mortis.
"That's right, I'm no longer alive.”Wei Yiyi's voice was heard. She did not waver even though she was a corpse. She said calmly," Humans and ghosts have different paths. Yingying, let's not contact each other anymore. Don't worry, I'll spare your mother's life. I'll also let your three friends go. However, our fate has ended.”
As she spoke, she waved her hand to the side. The three servant girls turned into palm-sized paper dolls and floated into Wei Yiyi's palm.
Just as she was about to pull Fan Ying Ying's hand, she saw that she was trembling from the cold and silently handed the three paper figurines to the servant girl beside her.
After the servant girl received it, she stepped forward and placed the three palm-sized servant girl paper figurines into Fan Yingying's hands.
Placing the paper figurine in her palm, a message appeared in Fan Yingying's mind.
A maid paper figurine could die for her once.
Three cards could replace her death three times. In other words, when she investigated the source of pollution in the future, she had three chances to escape death.
While Fan Yingying was still in a daze, Wei Yiyi looked at Zhou Zhenguo and the other two." I'll give you three minutes to leave.”
These words made Zhou Zhenguo and the other two come back to their senses. Li Mu looked at Fan Yingying and sighed in his heart. Indeed, the verbal cannon in animation and movies was a lie.
Zhou Zhenguo looked at the nearby Wei family members who were crying loudly, but they were still cut into paper figurines by the steward. He took a deep breath." I…"
"Captain, don't make unnecessary sacrifices.”
Li Mu, who was next to him, quickly stopped Zhou Zhenguo from saying anything. He had just experienced gambling dice and thought that he would die. He did not expect to be able to survive.
The feeling of being close to death was like being threatened by the Grim Reaper with a scythe. He didn't want to feel it anymore.
Those who had never faced death would never understand the feeling of suffocation. Now that he had escaped death, Li Mu cherished his life more than anyone else and wanted to live on.
Seeing the struggle on the captain's face, Li Mu continued," With the presence of God, the contract item is useless. If the gold and silver bullets can't hit Wei Yiyi, then we'll lose all the opportunities to restrain Wei Yiyi. Why should we stay? Was he courting death? Captain, you're not that kind of pedantic person, right? You know you're going to die, but you still want to stay and be cut into paper figurines?”
"That's right, Boss. We should hurry up and leave. Everything that just happened is very important information. We have to report this information to the higher-ups.”
Little Qin also tried to persuade him.
Zhou Zhenguo's expression was uncertain. Before he became an investigator, he was a criminal police officer. His duty was to protect the people from harm.
Moreover, according to his observation, Wei Yiyi's body might not be able to withstand the long-term occupation of not being able to look straight at God.
But all of this was just his guess.
As he thought about it, Zhou Zhenguo looked at the Wei family members not far away. He felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body. In the end, his expression became dispirited and he made a decision.”
Once he made his decision, Zhou Zhenguo would not regret it.
He looked at Fan Yingying, who had obviously lost her composure. He motioned for Li Mu to pull Fan Yingying away.
"Ying left."
Li Mu came to Fan Yingying's side, pulled her sleeve, and said in a low voice.
He did not dare to raise his voice.
Now, their lives were still in Wei Yiyi's hands. If he spoke too loudly and made her unhappy, wouldn't it be tragic if she changed her mind?
"Wei Yi-"
Before Fan Yingying could utter the last word, Li Mu covered her mouth with his hand.
The next moment, Li Mu cried out in pain and subconsciously swung his hands frantically, trying to relieve the pain.
"Wei Yiyi, what kind of melodramatic drama are you playing with me?! Different paths of humans and ghosts? You haven't really died yet, so why are you cutting ties with me?？I haven't agreed yet…Li Mu, let go of me!”
Li Mu was frightened. Without a word, he called Little Qin and the two of them carried Fan Yingying away.
Unable to resist, Fan Yingying stared at Wei Yiyi. When she saw the calmness in her eyes, for some reason, her heart was filled with sorrow, and tears welled up in her eyes.
When her parents divorced, she didn't cry like a child, but now she couldn't hold it in at all.
"Wei Yiyi-"
"Are you going to break our eight-year relationship with just one sentence? You haven't apologized to me yet!”
"Wei Yiyi, say something!"
Wei Yiyi's figure was getting further and further away. Fan Yingying's heart was filled with fear. It was as if a huge chasm had appeared in front of the two of them, separating them.
" Who wants your broken paper figurine!!"
Tears blurred her eyes, and Wei Yiyi gradually disappeared from her vision. Fan Yingying, who still didn't get a response, cried out in despair and threw the paper figurine in her hand as if she was venting her anger.
Li Mu gave him a look, and Little Qin silently picked up the three paper figurines on the ground.
Zhou Zhenguo retreated silently. At this moment, he was also very confused and did not have the mood to comfort Fan Yingying. As single dogs, Li Mu and Little Qin had no experience in comforting girls. They could only leave the terrifying place of the Wei family manor first.
As soon as they went out, they saw that the strange bridal escort team was still there, but the paper people did not care about them. Soon, Zhou Zhenguo and the others disappeared into the night.
Apart from them, there was also a beautiful middle-aged woman following them closely. She was Fan Yingying's mother.
Hearing her daughter's shouts, she prayed that Wei Yiyi wouldn't be angry.
The departure of Zhou Zhenguo and the others caused the Wei Clan to completely lose their composure. Each and every one of them cried for their parents, especially Wei Xingwu and Huang Yanru, who had long knelt down and begged for mercy.
Wei Qingwu was paralyzed on the ground.
When death came, even with Wei Qingwu's shrewdness, he couldn't face it calmly. In other words, the older one was, the more afraid they were of death.
However, his decades of self-restraint did not make him beg Wei Yiyi for mercy. Because he knew that it was useless.
Wei Qingwu was right. No matter how much the Wei family begged for mercy, Wei Yiyi's decision would not change their mind.
In just a few minutes, everyone in the Wei family was cut into paper figurines except for Wei Mengning.
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Wei Mengning had been watching from the sidelines. Everything that happened today felt like a dream to her.
From the horror in the afternoon to the fear in the depths of her heart, her mentality had been trained. Moreover, Wei Yiyi was obviously self-aware. Her eyes were bright and she looked much better than the stiff ghost bridegroom.
In other words, Wei Yiyi was too beautiful. She was so beautiful that she forgot the fear of death for a short period of time.
"Wei Qingwu is right, people should be grateful. The Wei family gave birth to me and raised me. I should repay the Wei family.”Wei Yiyi looked at her, the timidity and humility in her eyes no longer present.
The one who had changed the most today was Wei Yiyi.
"Wei Qingwu's way of repaying him was to exchange my life for yours. Now, you're alive, and I've died once. Then the Wei family's kindness in raising me can be considered to be repaid.”
Wei Yiyi looked at the paper people surrounding her, protecting her from all directions. In the future, these paper figurines would be her family.
As she thought about it, her expressionless face, which had been tense all this while, blossomed into a smile that could topple a country, causing Wei Mengning's eyes to flash with amazement.
"After today, I'm no longer Wei Yiyi of the Wei Family, but Mei Yiyi, the ghost bride.”
Mei was her mother's surname.
Mei Yiyi muttered the new name softly and suddenly froze.
Mei Yiyi was meaningless.
Perhaps just like the name said, the first half of her life was humble and meaningless.
