Nightmare Assault

Chapter 276: Bride

Qin Jian halted. Then, his head buzzed. The other sedan chair should be behind them. How could they have returned to the yard before them?

His first reaction was this group was the ghosts!

“It’s us!” Someone said loudly. Qin Jian’s heart winced. The person had a paper head, but the voice belonged to Chen Xiaomeng. The other sedan chair paused before them. Then, Chen Xiaomeng removed her paper head. The other three bearers did the same. They were Hao Shuai, Jiang Fugui and Shi Liaozhi. The four looked at them strangely until their hearts trembled. It felt like they had many things to say, but they didn’t know how to begin.

Afraid of being scammed, Qin Jian shut his mouth. Turning around and running was dumb. The best choice was to wait silently. He had been targeted. He’d die if he were alone. Hiding in the crowd would provide him with the chance of survival. Chen Qiang and You Qi did the same.

In this silent confrontation, Qin Jian felt like something was wrong. Suddenly, he saw An Xuan beside him remove the paper head. “Why are you here?” He stared at the other group and asked directly, “How are you before us?” Based on the rehearsed scene, the second group should return after the first group. Their route was longer. It was clear that the other members of the first group didn’t get that either.

Zuo Qing’s face dropped. However, she explained in a calm tone, “After you left, this yard door was locked.”

An Xuan’s pupils trembled.

“We have only managed to escape moments ago,” Zuo Qing continued as she stared An Xuan in the eyes.

“What?!” It was You Qi who gasped. This large man didn’t look like he was much braver than Qin Jian. His arms trembled visibly. “Then… Who was the group that we met earlier?” You Qi felt the blood rush to his brain, causing his eyes to go red. Fear gripped his heart.

He swallowed nervously. This was how he calmed down. A figure with a red veil walked out of the opposite sedan chair. The veil was lifted to reveal Zuo Qing’s face. The moment Zuo Qing left the sedan chair, a switch was turned on. An Xuan and Qin Jian shared a look. The next second, they let go at the same time. This caused their sedan chair to lose balance. It fell with a thud. After a quick shake, it finally stopped moving. In the next second, the first group scattered like rabbits. When they looked at their sedan chair, their gazes changed. Fear dominated their eyes.

They had just traded sedan chairs with that unknown group not too long ago. Their sedan had been exchanged, so this sedan chair…

Based on the original script, their sedan chair should carry Zuo Qing, but Zuo Qing… was standing before them. Qin Jian’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. He remembered the strange feeling he felt earlier. It came from the sedan chair!

The sedan chair was lighter than before!

Plus… no matter how bumpy the journey was, even when they dropped the sedan, causing it to fall to the ground, no sound came from within. It was like… the thing inside was dead.

Just as everyone wondered if the sedan chair was empty, there was a breeze. It picked up the sedan chair curtain. Through the gap, everyone managed to glimpse inside the sedan.

Fatty was startled before he shook. Qin Jian, who was closest to the sedan, even stumbled a few steps back. He felt his chest being congested.

Sitting inside the sedan chair was a beautiful paper doll with curved brows, bright eyes and blush. The paper doll wore a wedding dress. The veil had been lifted. Her hands were placed gracefully on her knees. She had a dark face.

The paper face had no colour. The corners of the lips were raised. The cinnabar on the lips made it look alive. She looked like she was smiling at the travellers.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The fog on the lake had basically dispersed. Under the moonlight, the red sedan chair sat quietly on the empty field. It felt more like a bloodred coffin.

“Tang Shirou… has been married to Young Master Huang,” Chen Qiang stared at the paper doll inside the sedan chair and whispered.
