Living Funeral
Listening to her tone, it was clear she was threatening me.
This woman in red was known for killing without hesitation! I thought to myself, if I deny it now, she might really come after me.
But what troubled me even more was that I didn’t recognize this woman in red at all, nor had I ever heard the name Lin Xue.
My mind raced as I tried to think. The woman in red was still waiting for my answer. The earlier "Decree" had clearly hurt her, but given her fierce demeanor, the fact that she could hold back from attacking me showed just how much this so-called Chen Lang meant to her.
The woman in red stared at me intently, as if one wrong word from me would provoke her into action.
After weighing my options, I finally asked, “Do you really know me?”
She responded with a soft "mm," and her gaze softened. Seeing that look in her eyes eased the tightness in my throat a bit.
It seemed this Lin Xue truly loved Chen Lang!
Unfortunately, she had mistaken me for someone else; I was not the Chen Lang she spoke of. But I couldn’t let her know that. If I did, she would undoubtedly turn on me. Lin Xue then asked, “Chen Lang, when are you planning to come and marry me?”
At that moment, the evil spirit transformed into a girl before my eyes, leaving me utterly speechless.
I was still calculating my next move in my mind.
“What do you think, Chen Lang?” Her eyes regained their softness, and she nervously fidgeted with her dress, looking both anxious and hopeful.
All I felt was fear! After weighing my options, I decided that survival was the priority, so I reluctantly agreed for the time being. I said that we needed to find an auspicious day; otherwise, it wouldn’t do to just go through the motions.
Suddenly, Lin Xue's tone turned sweet and delicate. She said, "Everything depends on Chen Lang's arrangements."
A blush unexpectedly appeared on her face. After a moment, she added, "Then Xue Er will take her leave. If Chen Lang thinks of a date, you can burn some paper and let me know. I'll give Chen Lang three days to consider. If there's no news after three days, I will come looking for you."
With that, Lin Xue vanished without a trace. However, before leaving, she plucked a few strands of my hair as a token.
Looking at the empty street, I let out a long sigh of relief. Damn it, I finally got rid of that Evil Spirit.
She really had latched onto me. My breathing, which had started out rapid, gradually steadied. Now what? I had already promised that female ghost. My heart sank as I found a shop along the way to buy instant noodles and a drink before heading home.
When I got upstairs, Gao Ling was taking a shower.
Hearing the door open, Gao Ling called out, "Fei, why did it take you so long to buy instant noodles?"
That silly Gao Ling had no idea what had just happened. So I told her about the red-dressed female ghost sitting in the car—didn't she know?
After hearing my words, Gao Ling responded incredulously, "How could there be a ghost in the car? How would I not have noticed?"
I retorted, "What could you possibly notice?"
At that moment, Gao Ling emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head. I insisted, "There really was a ghost just now! You were almost choked to death by it!"
Gao Ling countered, "Then how are we still alive?"
I sighed and recounted what had just happened to Gao Ling. After hearing my story, Gao Ling looked genuinely shocked and asked, "Is that for real?"
I replied, "Why would I lie to you? It's true; there really is a woman in red, and she has killed so many people. Why didn't she kill us? It’s probably because of Chen Lang. Otherwise, how could we still be alive?"
Gao Ling fell into deep thought after my words and then asked, "So, are you saying you agreed to marry that Evil Spirit? When's the wedding?"
I was at a loss for words with Gao Ling's reaction. I exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind? How could I possibly marry a female Ghost Marriage?"
Gao Ling paused for a few seconds before responding, "You're right; how could you marry a female Ghost Marriage? We need to come up with a plan. This Evil Spirit wouldn’t just randomly attach herself to me. That Chen Lang must be a key figure in all this."
By now, I had calmed down a bit.
What should we do now?
Gao Ling said he would take care of it. I looked at him skeptically; he was the least reliable person I knew. If I left it to him, things would surely escalate.
I fell into contemplation. If only Gao Qing were here, things might be more manageable. But it was just me and Gao Ling now, and I felt a bit anxious. I only had three days. If I couldn't come up with a solution by then, I might really have to go through with that female Ghost Marriage.
I had heard of such things before—people marrying ghosts, which were essentially ghost marriages. Once someone entered into such a union, the living would definitely suffer a loss of life span.
Thinking about this troubling matter kept me awake all night. When I finally woke up the next day, I still had no clues. Zhang Xun was undoubtedly too busy chasing after the Urn to look for me.
And with Gao Ling being so unreliable, I had no choice but to reach out to Gao Qing for help.
The siblings never got along well. When Gao Ling heard I was contacting Gao Qing for assistance, he seemed displeased but eventually made the call for me. I answered the phone and briefly explained the situation to Gao Qing.
Then I asked Gao Qing what to do about this situation. If you have time, could you come back and help me take a look?
Gao Qing replied, "I have some things to take care of right now and really can't make it. This matter is quite tricky; if it's not handled well, you might not survive."
Damn, hearing such ominous news all of a sudden really put me in a bad mood.
However, Gao Qing's tone was serious, not like he was joking. I asked him if there was any way to resolve this issue.
"Wait a moment, let me think," Gao Qing said.
After he said that, the call didn't end. I anxiously waited, and after about ten seconds, Gao Qing finally said, "How about this, Chen Fei? You let Gao Ling take you to find Uncle Ghost; maybe Uncle Ghost will have a solution. But..."
I asked, "But what?"
Gao Qing replied, "Actually, it's nothing much. Uncle Ghost has a bit of a strange temperament, but Gao Ling should be able to come up with something."
After that, the call ended. At that moment, Gao Ling came out of the room, walking around in front of me wearing only shorts. I was feeling quite anxious! I called out to Gao Ling, and she asked me what was going on.
I said, "Take me to find Uncle Ghost."
"What? Find Uncle Ghost?" Gao Ling's voice instantly rose several octaves.
I affirmed it; the only one who could resolve this situation right now was Uncle Ghost. Gao Ling acknowledged that Gao Qing was indeed correct.
However, after I spoke, Gao Ling's expression turned serious. Just by looking at her face, I could tell she had some reservations about Uncle Ghost.
I said to Gao Ling, "If you're too scared to go, just tell me the address and I'll find him myself."
Gao Ling suddenly replied, "Brother Fei, it's not that I don't want to take you; it's just that we shouldn't seek out Uncle Ghost until the very last moment."
I asked why. Was it because he was a recluse who didn't want to help someone like me, an ordinary person?
Gao Ling frowned and said, "It's not like that. It's just that Uncle Ghost is a bit... eerie! He is ruthless, and any soul that falls into his hands is definitely doomed. Moreover, he generally doesn't help people. If he does decide to help, you can be sure you'll have to pay a 'terrifying' price."
Listening to Gao Ling's words, I wondered if it was really that eerie. Gao Ling assured me it was. "Why not wait a bit longer? After all, that female ghost hasn't made any moves yet. She might not even show up later."
I still had some reservations in my heart, so I decided against seeking out Uncle Ghost. I was afraid that if I didn't resolve one problem, I'd end up with a new one.
Time quickly passed, and night fell. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I was drenched in cold sweat because I found the woman in red pressing down on me...
Damn it, I was completely stunned. Didn't Lin Xue come looking for me three days later? Why was she here tonight?
Lin Xue was lying on top of me, staring at me, and when I finally got a good look at her, I realized she wasn't wearing any clothes...
