Chapter Ninety-Two: The Scarlet Wedding Dress
"Your answer is interesting."
The girl beside her was still silently sewing the wedding dress stitch by stitch, but the voice of the faceless woman appeared behind her.
Lin Sheng looked back, and the other party was already standing in the corner of this room at some point.
"I still think the story is a little bit more interesting."
Standing up to face the other party, Lin Sheng slightly clenched the long knife in his hand.
The faceless woman leaned quietly against the wall:
"If you had done what you said, this ghost wouldn't have appeared."
With that, he looked up in the direction of the window.
"So, what's the point of showing me such a story, to give me an insight into the origin of the ghost behind you?"
Lin Sheng was actually very puzzled, the other party must have done this for a reason, but he couldn't analyze any conclusions.
The reality is just like what the other party said, the gap between the two is almost an insurmountable gap.
In this space, the other party's series of actions seem to be the creator.
Although he couldn't see the other party's facial features, Lin Sheng knew that the other party was staring at the moonlight projected from the window at the moment.
"You're sitting so close to her, aren't you afraid that she will suddenly turn into a ghost and kill you?"
Lin Sheng shook his head.
"If, as you say, the gap between us is as great as that of God and man, then she could have killed me in the first place, and there is no need to bother to reproduce this whole scene for me, besides...... The space here is so big, and in front of you who have the ability to teleport, I am the same everywhere. β
Hearing this, the faceless woman chuckled, "You are indeed my type of person." β
"If you hadn't mentioned this, I'd have almost forgotten the picture that gave me goosebumps."
The voice fell, but the faceless woman did not continue the topic.
He just silently stared at the direction of the moonlight, shaking his head slightly as if he was in a reverie.
A long time has passed.
"You know...... What happened to her? The other party said slowly.
"To be able to become the basis for the birth of Morpheus, I think it is rumored that she committed suicide in this dungeon in her wedding dress, and then made this mansion a haunted mansion or something." Lin Sheng replied.
"Nope."
The Faceless Woman shook her head silently and walked alone to the position under the window.
"Outside this window...... It is the garden of this western-style building. β
"One day after she was confined here, she heard the voices of several servants chatting privately in the garden, which was the news that the head of the house had found out the man's whereabouts and was preparing to catch him and lynch Shen Jiang."
"But this stupid kid...... Still holding inexplicable fantasies. β
The Faceless Woman shook her head slightly.
After that, she tried her best to get out of here, and this ...... But it was just to tell the man to run away, and he also wanted to be able to tell him that he was willing to leave with him. β
As soon as the picture in his eyes turned, Lin Sheng knew that the other party had switched scenes again.
In front of me, there is a heavy snowfall.
A girl staggered over the snow-covered ground in a crudely red wedding dress with bare feet and bare feet.
The wedding dress has not yet been completely completed, and at the end of the lower body there are still large pieces of cloth dragged, just like a red tail that follows all the way and moves with the wind.
On the glass mirrors of the intermittent shops, a bright red figure passed by quickly, with an uninterrupted rush of gasps.
Finally, the destination appeared in front of me -
It was a ghetto near the city's port.
The girl immediately ran towards the area described by the servant.
However, due to the long period of captivity, her health has deteriorated greatly from what it used to be.
A salty sea breeze swept in the winter snow, and the girl finally couldn't run, so she knelt on the spot and gasped for breath.
But she quickly got back to her feet.
She knew that the reason why the man hadn't been caught yet was because of the heavy snowfall.
My father decided to have the area thoroughly searched only after the snow had stopped.
Myself...... He must be found before this heavy snow stops.
But......
The girl looked at the shanty towns crisscrossing in front of her, and she knew what was going on.
If nothing else, this is the dirtiest and chaotic part of the city.
Crime breeds and no one has jurisdiction.
Even if you die here...... I'm afraid no one will know about it anytime soon.
Lin Sheng saw that the frightened look on the girl's face was quickly replaced by firmness.
Then she stepped very carefully into it, and walked through the slums, occasionally looking back at the shadows around her.
But Lin Sheng could only sigh helplessly.
Because he's seen it......
I saw several figures walking towards the girl not far away.
The two sides soon met, and the drunks, who were apparently drunk, seemed to be extremely interested in the teary-eyed little lovely.
After all, as an old man in the slums, there are definitely not many opportunities to taste this kind of superlative.
The girl had no ability to resist, so she was grabbed by several men in three or two strokes and dragged to a corner on the side.
Struggling, struggling, a male figure in the distance caught her eye.
That's the person she thought about for a long time, and it's the end of the trip.
The other party was also shocked for a moment when he saw the girl's appearance, but then quickly withdrew his gaze and sat idly by.
And it's like seeing a branch in the distance when you are stuck in a swamp and desperate, and before you can catch it, you quickly retract it......
The girl froze in place.
"What? Do you know? β
The middle-aged man who was dragging the girl raised his head and raised his wine trough nose to question the man in the distance.
"No, it's just a one-sided relationship."
The man shook his head indifferently, and then walked away in the exact opposite direction.
As soon as he walked out, he didn't take two steps, and as if he remembered something, the man turned around again.
Something suddenly rekindled in the girl's eyesβ
"Her identity is a bit special, and the follow-up ...... Remember to dispose of it cleanly. β
The man confessed indifferently, and then continued to walk into the distance, not caring about the completely frozen expression on the girl's face.
The struggle at hand didn't even continue in a trance, the girl just stared at the figure that was slowly receding into the shadows.
She finally understood.
Hot tears fell on the snow in large chunks, melting flakes of snow.
Lin Sheng couldn't bear to look directly at the picture behind him, so he looked away.
But the Faceless Woman was very caring, and the scene around her immediately switched back to the small room located underground.
Lin Sheng reappeared at the door.
The girl, on the other hand, was still sitting on the rusty bed.
β¦β¦
"It's late at night."
"Why do the birds ...... But he didn't return home. β
While singing the nursery rhyme in a low voice, I heard it from nowhere.
One stitch on one side...... One needle ......
Clumsy but very serious sewing the extremely rough wedding dress.
The face that was a little dull at the beginning was now filled with a blushing smile.
The faceless woman walked over to the bed, leaned down, and gently stroked the girl's slightly drooping cheek.
The girl was still unaware, and the movements at hand were jerky, but she was gradually becoming more proficient.
"Pathetic? She is doing these useless things stupidly here, but she doesn't know what kind of ending she will face in the future. β
"Poor or not, she's not who she was."
Lin Sheng's voice was a little low.
"Morpheus just gave birth to a concrete appearance through her story, and what are the details and authenticity of that story...... It's no longer worth looking into. β
The faceless woman nodded as well.
"yes, so I sometimes think about it...... What did she go through at the beginning that would lead to such a story to be handed down. β
Lin Sheng did not respond to this question again, but mentioned another thing:
"Won't you run out of time? It's not long before midnight. β
He remembered that before he entered here, it was less than forty minutes before he entered the place, but now the story flow he saw was approaching that time.
The Faceless Woman shook her head.
"The speed of time here is just your personal senses."
Lin Sheng bowed slightly, which was somewhat consistent with what he thought in his heart.
Myself......
It's probably in some kind of space that the wedding ghost has in his hands.
"But you told me such a long story, and acted in such a play, in order to complete some kind of ritual or process."
Lin Sheng walked up to the faceless woman with a knife, he knew that no matter how long this story was, he would have to face the final stage in the end.
"If you're not mistaken, your ability should need to be officially activated after the enemy has read this story."
As the words fell, the faceless woman smiled noncommittally.
"You know...... What do I like most about you? β
Lin Sheng didn't speak, but replied in silence.
"I like your confidence."
The faceless woman hugged her chest with one hand and gently rested the other hand on her cheek.
"But do you know what I hate now?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng silently clenched the long knife in his hand, and the premonition in his heart was telling him that the other party's words were likely to be a harbinger of the attack.
Although the other party's ability was extremely strange and unknown, Lin Sheng was not too afraid.
He was clear that fear had no effect in this situation.
Slightly sideways glance, motioning for the other party to continue.
However, it was the moment when he was ready to take a shot straight ahead......
The Faceless Woman's movements remained unchanged, as if she had no intention of fighting at all.
She just tilted her head leisurely and stared at the man in front of her.
Then he continued to speak slowly:
"Your self-confidence ......"
"A little too much."
Suddenlyβ
Blood splattered from everywhere!
"When will it ......"
Lin Sheng only felt that there was a bone-like pain all over his body in an instant!
Accompanied by the sudden appearance of the message that the energy of consciousness has completely dried up......
Then his eyes went black, and his body collapsed facing forward completely uncontrollably.
