There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 672
Chapter 672: Chapter 573: Don’t Let the Past Bind Your Future (End of Script) Chapter 672: Chapter 573: Don’t Let the Past Bind Your Future (End of Script) The bride’s emotions are extremely volatile now!
Her resentful spirit was already somewhat emotional, but she seemed to have normalized quite a bit due to the influence of the Soul Contract.
But now, after absorbing the energy with an Abyssal aura from the village, it seemed to have affected the bride as well—her state was one of towering fury, and her killing intent surged like a tempest!
The reason she hadn’t killed them yet was probably that the bride’s rationality was struggling.
This was also why the Village Chief was so anxious.
The fierce ghost, who had just been a teammate moments ago, could it be that she was about to turn into the new final boss after the original one had fallen?
The Abyss had previously pushed them into a desperate situation.
...
Darkness was everywhere.
But unexpectedly, the mid-level boss of this script directly took out the final boss for a twist of fate, and once again forced them into a corner, surrounded by a sea of red mist!
“Tiezhu, eh!”
The Village Chief completely abandoned his dignity and started howling!
Xu Shuo turned and walked towards him.
As he stepped closer, the bride suddenly turned her head to face Xu Shuo, and through the gently billowing red veil, Xu Shuo felt an extremely scorching gaze.
The gaze seemed to contain extremely complex emotions, like anger, and also like some kind of despair.
Xu Shuo approached her.
Since the bride was hovering twenty centimeters above the ground, he had to look up to see her.
“I want to kill him.”
After a long silence and a stare down, the bride’s low, hoarse voice rose, carrying an emotion she had struggled to suppress.
Although the bride didn’t specify who.
Everyone present knew.
Miss Wang shivered uncontrollably.
Sure enough, the hardest person to deal with in the entire script was him; even now, with no threat from the Abyss, the players would not kill him to offer to heaven.
But there was still the bride’s Resentment Energy.
All the players knew that the person the bride most wanted to kill was him!
Because in the second year, filled with the most intense hatred, the bride only tortured the Wang Family to death without taking action against the young Village Chief at the time; she even let him live for over sixty years.
This clearly showed that the bride knew—that the Village Chief back then was just a child who knew nothing and was barely innocent.
As for the identity of the scholar…
Her real name was Zhu Aidie, also a scholar sent down to the rural areas, and she was also openly or secretly despised by the villagers of Osmanthus Village.
Not to mention she might be related to the bride’s own family, just this similarly pitiful experience would prevent the bride from directing her resentment towards her.
Wang Tiezhu’s pretentiousness notwithstanding.
Only Miss Wang had the most unique identity on scene.
She was the direct descendant of the Wang Family!
Decades ago, the head of the Wang Family was no longer from the main lineage.
The main lineage had hidden among the collateral branches, trying to evade the bride’s notice.
Miss Wang actually had an older brother above her.
But after he was killed by the bride more than a decade ago, to preserve the bloodline, she was taken away to be raised by a collateral branch as soon as she was born.
And disguised as a girl for more than a decade!
The bride’s pattern of killing was thoroughly understood by the Wang Family.
At that time, the rise of the Abyss coincided, and the bride’s control over Osmanthus Village had been snatched away—Wang Family’s move was truly timely and advantageous.
Probably, this was also why the bride was so enraged.
And now.
All the villagers of Osmanthus Village were dead.
Whether it was the Wang Family who initiated it, the Zhang Family who abetted it, or the Li Family who curried favor, all died, buried under the grudges that had entangled for decades.
The bride could be said to have achieved her great vengeance.
If there wasn’t still one person from the Wang Family alive.
“I know that the things of the past may no longer relate to these descendants, but I still hate,” said the bride.
“This village has rotted from the inside out, down into the mud.
“For decades, I have watched those children inherit their thoughts, their actions, inherit every breath of air here.
So I hate not only the entire village, but each person who grew up here even more.
“Because they were rotten too.”
“I thought of how their memories held this village, their flesh and blood belonged to this village, every inch of their skin and every inch of their souls contained this village!”
“I could not endure it!”
“I could not bear it!”
The bride’s wedding dress fluttered lightly, and the red mist that filled heaven and earth boiled with her emotions, a fierce wind rose, like the ominous prelude to a mountain storm!
The other three looked at her with both fear and vigilance.
Xu Shuo, however, suddenly reached out and lifted her red veil.
Those crimson eyes were brimming with despair.
As the red veil that masked her face disappeared, the bride’s anger-twisted countenance momentarily froze.
She stared blankly at the young man before her, seeing her own reflection in his pitch-black pupils.
Her pale face had none of its prior beauty, hideously twisted and split at the rims of the eyes, as ugly as a corpse in a coffin.
Looking at that face.
Then looking at the young man’s still calm features.
The bride suddenly quieted down.
The surging red mist around them also subsided, like a pond rippling after being disturbed by a stone, gradually returning to tranquility after the ripples had spread.
After a long time.
She said softly, “Have I mistaken something?”
Xu Shuo pretended to ponder, “Your final goal, is it to perish with this place?
To be buried here in this village forever?”
The bride shook her head silently.
Xu Shuo smiled, “Then don’t let it bind you anymore, don’t let it be your everything.
It can be your past, but it shouldn’t continue to be your future.”
The bride still looked somewhat dazed.
At that moment, Xu Shuo extended his hand toward her.
Looking at the fair palm before her, the bride hesitated for a moment, but without much doubt, she almost instinctively raised her own hand and placed it on his.
“Sizzling…”
Dark mist sprouted from the clasped hands, the excited dark matter flowed like blood vessels to Xu Shuo’s hand, and continued to travel up his arm, trying to spread to his entire body.
But in less than three seconds, this darkness dissipated with an unwilling wail, leaving a faint stench in the air.
Then Xu Shuo calmly withdrew his hand and flexed his fingers.
The bride looked at him, dumbfounded.
The other three people also looked at him with stunned expressions.
Xu Shuo asked the bride with concern, “How do you feel now, is your mind still clogged up?”
The bride: “! No, it’s not.”
Xu Shuo nodded, “That’s good.”
Everyone: “!”
The scene was very quiet.
Everyone’s emotions were very calm.
Even the bride, who had just been furiously frenetic with sky-high resentment, became exceedingly calm after the raging Abyss was purified, and she didn’t even glance at Miss Wang beside her.
Time on the game panel was moving slowly.
Very slowly.
Everyone had never felt such a moment where time moved so sluggishly, slow as if the world had come to a standstill.
The Old Village Chief looked at the sky, then at the ground, and at the time again, finally unable to bear it any longer, he broke the awkward atmosphere that permeated the air.
“We still have some time, and while we’re at it, why not chat a bit!”
“Talk about what?” Miss Wang quickly chimed in.
The Village Chief was worried about what topic to choose.
Since she played along, he blurted out, “Why not share your feelings about cross-dressing?
Like, do you usually go to the men’s or women’s restroom, and do you play handkerchief games with the girls?
Could it be that dressing up for too long might turn you effeminate?”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked his way.

Even the bride cast a look over.
Miss Wang: “……”
