Thin footsteps could be heard outside the ancestral hall, and Lin Jiang saw a group of townspeople holding torches.

Their expressions were numb and their bodies were stiff, walking here like puppets on strings.

Even she was startled by this scene. When she turned around quickly, she saw Su Ming'an walking towards the coffin.

"——What on earth do you want to do! Do you want to drag us to death again?" she shouted, the bloody marks on her body flashing continuously.

"Don't take yourself too seriously." Su Mingan said, then opened the coffin and lay directly in it.

"..." Lin Jiang watched blankly as the man found a coffin and went in.

...What are you doing? Digging your own grave?

"Let's go first!" She pulled Yamada Machichi who was standing aside. She knew that this situation was definitely not normal. They had been completely delayed by Su Ming'an all night and had no swordsmen. They could not reduce their numbers again, otherwise they would have no chance of winning.

.

Yamada Machi glanced at the closed coffin and did not move. Lin Jiang pulled her to crush a crystal and teleport away.

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open, and the townspeople who were offering sacrifices came in.

As Su Ming'an lay in the coffin, he heard a faint sigh.

"...You're here again."

The next moment, he heard Jasmine's very soft voice.

The whispers of the townspeople could be heard outside, very much like the sounds on the night Jasmine got married.

After the townspeople left, Su Mingan opened the coffin lid and saw Jasmine lying nearby in blood-clothed clothes.

"Jasmine." He looked at her.

He knew that Jasmine at night should be the girl who was permanently imprisoned in the ancestral hall. She was alone, waiting for the god she could never wait for. She was so innocent, she listened to all the stories he told, and believed everything he said.

, like a piece of white paper... and very much like the girl he saw in the copy.

And Jasmine during the day...he guessed it was that ghost.

The ghost is not completely trapped in the ancestral hall.

On the contrary... it can even control Jasmine's body and travel during the day.

The real Jasmine could only wake up at night and couldn't even see the dawn - she looked extremely satisfied. Even if she looked at the same night day after day, she would still look the same as before. It was hard for him to imagine her.

How long have you been staying here?

She may have stayed here for a long time, so long that she has almost forgotten her past. She only remembers that her name is Jasmine and she has some vague memories of life... But she remembers very clearly that she cannot leave this ancestral hall and has to wait all the time.

, and kept waiting.

...waiting for her god who will never come to marry her.

Su Mingan thought of her mission - to expose Jasmine's crimes.

Perhaps, my mission is to expose Jasmine, who was possessed by a ghost during the day.

"Brother Lighthouse." Jasmine looked at him, her eyes as clear as ever: "...can you continue telling me stories?"

Hearing this call, his heart moved slightly - he had not felt this feeling for a long time.

The other party is an NPC and a person who cannot be saved. Logically speaking, he should not have too many feelings about it.

However, at this moment, he felt a desire to save the other party.

He quickly suppressed these thoughts and looked at her favorability score, which was now 50 points.

After confirming that the other party really only had a vague memory of night, he knew that Jasmine at night was actually of no use.

She couldn't give him any useful information, which he already knew in his personal copy.

He wanted to leave, but the time had passed and the door still could not be opened.

He could only sit down first, look at the expectant Jasmine, and tell her the story she wanted to hear.

…

Candlelight flickers.

The woman stroking the bottle looked at Lu Shu, with a slight shock in her eyes.

"Poison Traveler No. 1?" She repeated his words, and then her expression changed slightly: "Traveler No. 4, although I don't want to interfere with your behavior, I want to confirm your thoughts again - your true thoughts.

Do you really want to poison Traveler No. 1?"

Lu Shu clenched his fists.

His eyes were a little numb, and the brilliance in them was gradually fading, like the last ray of light from the setting sun.

"I……"

He whispered, clenching his fists tightly, and the pain that almost pierced his skin was very clear.

There was a slight sound outside the door.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the door with a little hope and a little despair.

At this moment, what he was thinking was - if only Su Mingan came to kill him.

The door was gently pushed open, and a small black shadow rushed in.

"Meow~"

A cat meows.

Lu Shu raised his eyelids and saw a black cat with a fiery red tail. Other than that, there was no one else outside the door.

The black cat looked at him warily, with a roll of paper wrapped in a rubber band between its legs.

"An alternative way of communicating." Sharina glanced at this side: "Traveler No. 1 has so many abilities that transcend the rules."

Lu Shu took off the note. There were only a few simple words on the note, and the instructions were very clear.

[Poisoned No. 11 Lin Jiang.]

He stared at the note for a while, as if trying to find a hole in it.

The black cat was still waiting there. It seemed to be waiting for his move. Its claws were sharply sharpened, as if it would scratch Lu Shu if he behaved inconsistently with his instructions.

Although, there are many things Lu Shu can do to deal with this little guy.

He stared at the note and sat on the bed, motionless, like a frozen person who had not recovered from his illness.

"Traveler No. 4... has the function of a witch, my dear traveler." Selina held her chin and looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "Make your choice... although I don't know what your attitude is.

There will be such big changes, but no matter what, don’t go against your true intentions.”

In the bottle at her hand, the bright green liquid swayed beautifully under the candlelight.

Lu Shu once again closed the live broadcast room where he was shouting frantically, "What are you doing!" "Don't abandon Ming An'an!" "Bring him back quickly, I'm dying——!" and took out the one recording the clues to the prophet.

I read the note again as if reading a holy book.

His steady gaze trembled slightly.

…

As the first ray of dawn entered outside the window, Su Mingan stopped talking.

The girl in the red wedding dress closed her eyes slightly, as if she was asleep.

He stood up quickly, holding the sword in his hand.

The warm morning light slanted in through the high window, falling on the girl's golden jewelry and dazzling her eyes.

And the moment he narrowed his eyes slightly, he met a pair of eyes that were as sharp as an eagle.

That look was no longer confused and innocent, no longer as harmless as a rabbit.

"...I was discovered by you." Her eyes were firmly focused on Su Ming'an.

"The ghost that invaded Jasmine's body." Su Mingan looked at her: "It's time for exile soon, come with me to accept the trial."

"How ridiculous." "Moli" laughed in a low voice, and her eyes looked over with contempt: "I gave you a chance to change Jasmine's past - but you just understood this?"

Su Mingan said nothing.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Jasmine is guilty or not, and whether Ghost himself is guilty or not.

Judging from the changes in Jasmine's favorability during the day, she may be pretending, or she may have really developed a liking for him.

But this will not change just because everyone is innocent.

"No matter how you want to defend yourself, you were the one who harmed Jasmine when you wanted her to die." Su Mingan said, "Now, you want to entrust someone else to save Jasmine in the past - you are deceiving yourself.

, rather than being kind-hearted, figure this out.”

He suddenly felt a cold wind blowing over him.

"Jasmine"'s blood-red red gauze swayed in front of her, and her snow-white lotus-root arms with jingling golden rings flashed past her eyes.

He suddenly grabbed the hand of "Jasmine" who suddenly attacked, and saw a shining silver blade suddenly appeared on her bracelet.
