Jiang Pingce picked up a branch and drew the cloud pattern on the woman’s belt in his dream of the guard’s painting on the ground. After double–checking it with his own dream, Yue Xingwen confirmed, “It’s the same pattern.”
Jiang Pingce followed by and said, “Su Wanxin’s coffin also has a similar pattern on its four corners.”
Gao Xiaoxin and Gao Yongqiang looked at each other. At first, Gao Yongqiang also went to dig the grave with the two men, but he did not even notice if there were any patterns on the corners of the coffin. That was the difference between a top student and an underachiever, right? It was amazing for Jiang Pingce to clearly remember even such a small detail.
Yue Xingwen smiled and patted Jiang Pingce’s shoulder. “I know that you are reliable.” He looked at the students around him and asked. “Has anyone else dreamt of this pattern?”
Liu Zhaoqing was the first to say, “The time I dreamt the doctor saved Miss Su, the doctor was wearing blue clothes and did not have any patterns on his body, which can be confirmed.”
Gao Xiaoxin followed up and said, “I dreamt that the doctor was crying in front of the grave, wearing white clothes and white headband, looking like a mourning clothes, and there was no pattern.”
Everyone else shook their heads to indicate that such a cloud pattern had never appeared in their dream.
Many people saw Miss Su on the day of her wedding, but the last person to show up in the wedding chamber and kill her was the guard.
This exam required them to survive for six days, and it was now the third night. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce had already strung together all the clues intact, so it could be said that they had successfully solved the case in only half the time.
After dawn, Yue Xingwen led everyone to re-search onsite so as not to miss the evidence.
Yesterday, they had carpet searched the entire forest and pond, and today they group searched the ground and grass around the inn, but unfortunately no new clues were found.
On the fourth night, Yue Xingwen dreamt of a very beautiful picture——
In the warm spring season, a young girl in a long red dress danced in the garden, and a young man stood next to her and watched her. The girl’s dance was soft and beautiful, like a light butterfly, she turned back to the young man and smiled brightly.
The dream froze at the moment the girl smiled, just like a pause button was pressed at that time.
When Yue Xingwen woke up, the girl in the dream was wearing a wedding dress and stood by the bed, smiling brightly at Yue Xingwen.
This smile was exactly the same as the dream, except that it was replaced by a face as pale as paper.
Yue Xingwen’s heart leapt unexpectedly, and he moved skillfully to rush out the door to see his teammates, who also rushed out with ugly faces. Qin Lu hurriedly said, “Everyone come quickly!” After everyone gathered, she immediately used the plate movement to lead everyone out of the forest.
On the way, Liu Zhaoqing could not help but spit out, “I dreamt of a girl in red smiling at me, and when I opened my eyes, the ghost bride was standing next to the bed smiling at me and showing a row of white teeth! Scared me to death, fuck!”
Ke Shaobin’s face turned pale. “Me, me too.”
Qin Lu said in a low voice, “I dreamt that a girl was dancing, and there was a young man next to her who kept staring at her. In my dream, I also had a feeling of being stared at, and I had goosebumps.”
Qin Miao said lightly, “Me too.”
Gao Xiaoxin and Gao Yongqiang said one after another, “Me too!”
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and said, “It seems that everyone’s dreams are the same.”
Eight people all had the same dream?
The crowd moved outside the forest, thinking that the bride would not chase out. Yue Xingwen just wanted to sit down and analyze, but the next moment, the ‘bride in red’ who had just chased them at the inn suddenly converged into a ghost shadow, and the ghost’s mouth emitted a strange laugh; “Xixi… xi…”
The crisp and sweet laughter, like a lively and cute girl, giggling and playing.

The ghost bride’s movements were as fast as lighting, floating out of the forest, and the shadow was coming up to everyone’s back in an instant.
The face of the woman in the brand new wedding dress was as pale as if it had been smeared with chalk, her long dark hair was draped behind her head like a waterfall, and her lips were bright red as blood. She had a bright smile on her face and two cute dimples at the corners of her mouth.
She was holding the red silk in her hand, and at the moment when Yue Xingwen turned back, the silk split into eight and swept towards the eight people fiercely!
Ke Shaobin was the closest to her, and in the blink of an eye, the silk was wrapped around his neck in an instant!
The strong feeling of suffocation made Ke Shaobin’s face pale, he wanted to open his mouth for help, but he could not make any sound, could not breathe oxygen, his brain was dizzy, and the silk was getting tighter and tighter, almost strangling his neck.
Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing hurriedly threw out his scalpel. The sharp blade broke through the air, slicing the silk with a ‘whoosh’!
The silk wrapped around his neck fell to the ground, and the rescued Ke Shaobin covered his heart and breathed heavily. Before he could say thank you, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Yue Xingwen. “Run!”
Qin Lu’s heart almost stopped as she hurriedly tapped two locations on the globe, moving everyone to continue switching forward.
Everyone teleported nearly 100 meters, but those silks followed them like a shadow—— Not to mention running away, all of them had their legs wrapped around the silk instead, and the red silk crawled up their bodies like a spiritual snake, wrapping the legs of all of them so that they could not move.
To make matters even worse, the globe in Qin Lu’s hand was also instantly swept away by the flexible silk!
“Xixixi…”
The ghost bride’s laughter kept ringing in their ears. Seeing that the silk had already wrapped around the students’ waist, Liu Zhaoqing quickly summoned his scalpel, and in a flash, the sharp knives shot out like a rainstorm, brushing a few times to cut the silk from the air!
However, those silks were endless, and Liu Zhaoqing himself was also tied up, so he could not take care of so many students. In the blink of an eye, Gao Xiaoxin was wrapped into a dumpling by the red silk amidst the screams!
Qin Miao had no choice but to use her skill. “To dismiss military hierarchy using wine cups!”
All the silks fell to the ground, but this big move could only control the silksfor a few seconds, and after a few seconds, those silks seemed to have eyes and wrapped up once again, faster than before.
Yue Xingwen’s heart was pounding, and his brain was thinking quickly about countermeasures.
The ghost bride was impervious to physical attacks, and magic attacks did not work, as they had experimented with before.
Oh, by the way, she was the boss—— she was Su Wanxin!
Yue Xingwen shouted out, “Su Wanxin?” The eerie laughter in his ears stopped for a few seconds, the bride in red seemed to freeze for a moment, and Yue Xingwen hurriedly said, “Young Ke, release Xiao Tu!”
Ke Shaobin had just turned his back to the bride and was caught off guard by the strangling on his neck, and almost suffocated, but now he also calmed down and immediately released Xiao Tu to lure away the ghost bride.
No matter how strong she was, Xiao Tu’s forced attraction was still effective for her. The white robot glided quickly back in the direction of the inn, and the ghostly bride had no choice but to follow it.
Yue Xingwen said, “Senior brother, I’ll leave this place to you. I’ll go with Pingce to deal with her!”
After speaking, he quickly summoned his dictionary, “Golden Cicada Shell, As Fast As Lighting!”
The team’s Golden Cicada Shell was effective for the members of the Research Group. As soon as the skill was used, the red silk on the four of them disappeared instantly, Yue Xingwen teleported to a place 20 meters away with Jiang Pingce and ran towards Su Wanxin’s grave as fast as he could with his acceleration skill on.
Liu Zhaoqing then stayed behind and used his scalpel to save the other students who had been tangled in red silk into rice dumplings.
In the distance, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce ran as fast as they could. Jiang Pingce did not ask where Yue Xingwen was going, the tacit understanding between them did not need much questioning at this time.
Until the two of them rushed to Su Wanxin’s grave at 5x the speed.
Jiang Pingce had indeed guessed correctly what Yue Xingwen was thinking and whispered, “You want to burn Su Wanxin’s grave?”
Yue Xingwen looked solemn: “The reason why Su Wanxin’s soul is imprisoned in this area is because her bones are buried in this tomb, and a formation was set up to control her with sacrifices. This tomb should be the ‘eye of the formation’ that imprisoned her, we definitely can’t kill her directly, but we can free her soul from the shackles.”
By destroying the eyes of the formation, the formation would be invalidated and Su Wanxin’s soul might be liberated? This would solve the roots of the problems. The location of the tomb was very strange, the coffin had a cloud pattern, and this coffin was obviously the key to binding Su Wanxin.
Of course, Yue Xingwen did not know much about this kind of crooked path, he just came to the conclusion through analysis—— They could not kill the ghost bride, and their speed was as fast as lighting, and the ghost could only be controlled. However, the students had limited control skills, once they ran out and were caught up by Su Wanxin, wouldn’t they be wiped out in minutes? It was impossible for an ‘unsolvable’ question in the examination, and there must be a solution.
If the ghost could not be dealt with, then they would deal with her original body.
Yue Xingwen immediately took out the flint stone, and Jiang Pingce quickly found the dried weeds and branches to ignite the fire. Both of them threw the fire into the grave that had been dug up earlier.
The coffin was buried in the ground for many years, it was damp and moldy, so Yue Xingwen and Jiang Ping increased the amount of wood, expanded the fire, and lit a whole circle around the coffin. It took nearly half a minute for the coffin to be set on fire.
Gradually, a blazing fire rose to the sky. The red-painted coffin was swept and engulfed by tongues of fire, the flames illuminated the night sky, and the laughter of the bride in red in the distance suddenly stopped!
On the Research Group’s chat channel, Ke Shaobin quickly typed a line: “Xiao Tu’s song has just finished, and she’s gone!”
Yue Xingwen said: “She is here with me.”
Upon seeing this message, Ke Shaobin and Liu Zhaoqing hurriedly had Qin Lu use her globe to switch over for support, thinking that Yue Xingwen was in danger and needed help.
However, the scene in front of them made everyone freeze in place in shock——
They saw the bride in red appear in the midst of the raging blaze, her pale face flickering in the flame. She was no longer letting out a strange laugh, but two lines of distinct blood tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
The fire swept over her body, but her wedding dress was not burned at all. She was crying in the flames until the coffin was about to be completely burned clean, and a gentle voice suddenly rang in their ears. “Thank you…”
The ghost bride disappeared, leaving only charred bones and coffins that turned into black ash.
Everyone looked at each other.
Yue Xingwen sighed. “She should be freed.”
Ke Shaobin rubbed his neck, and the suffocating sensation of being strangled just now seemed to remain in his mind as he stared blankly at the burned coffin and asked, “She’s gone? Then, they won’t attack us again?”
Yue Xingwen replied, “En., we simply can’t beat the instance’s BOSS this time head-on. Since we reasoned that she was imprisoned here by a strange formation, if we allow her soul to be freed, she won’t turn into a ghost and continue to hunt us.”
After hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing simply crossed out the words ‘My Beloved Wife Su Wanxin’ with his scalpel.
Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, “Tomorrow, let’s take the bodies of all the brides and find a place to bury them properly.”
Yue Xingwen nodded in agreement, “I think so too.”
The night was as cold as water, the soft moonlight spilling gently over the forest, and a cold wind blew through, scraping up the charred dust in the tomb. Thinking of the experience of these past few days, it was difficult for Yue Xingwen to calm down his mood for a long time.
He said lightly. “I hope there aren’t any such perverts in reality. This kind of twisted love is terrible. To like someone is to respect the other party. and try to make the other party. happy, not to selfishly possess and imprison the other party.”
Liu Zhaoqing made a joke, “Xingwen, you seem to have a deep emotion when you say this? Do you have someone you like?”
Yue Xingwen touched his nose in embarrassment, “I haven’t been in love with someone, I just wanted to say what I thought.”
Jiang Pingce said lightly, “Xingwen is a theoretical student and has no practical experience, but… I agree with his point of view.”
Yue Xingwen looked back at him. “Don’t you have any practical experience either?”
Jiang Pingce raised the corner of his lips and did not answer the question.
raised Ke Shaobin whispered and changed the topic. “If we bury all the brides after dawn. Won’t there be any more female ghosts standing at the head of the bed to scare us at night? I’m really scared out of my mind…”
Yue Xingwen said, “Let’s have a try.”
After dawn the next day, everyone chose a place to bury all the bones.
For the next three days, they were no longer chased by the female ghosts, and the dream also completely presented the detailed plot of the murder mystery game, and Yue Xingwen deduced the corresponding reality plot according to the plot of the murder mystery game.
The Su family was originally very wealthy, but because father Su’s investment failed and the business lost money, she was forced to marry the Zhao family. Su Wanxin’s mother died early, and Father Su married a stepmother, and it was Aunt Chen in the drama, and gave birth to a younger sister. The guard in the drama, corresponding to the bodyguard who grew up with Su Wanxin, had been by her side to protect her. The two had a relationship when they were young, and after Su Wanxin decided to marry Zhao family, she broke up with him, but he had developed a twisted possessive desire of ‘you can only be mine’ for Su Wanxin, killing her after her wedding and secretly taking away her body to set up this forbidden formation.
The clues were assembled and the plot line was pushed through. At 00:00am on the sixth day, a prompt popped up in front of everyone’s eyes at the same time——
Research Group: C-183
Course: Death Code
Credit: 6
Clearance Score: 95 points
Additional Question: None
Final Point: 6×95 = 570 points
Research Group Bonus: Group C points bonus x 1.5 times. Each person gets 855 final points.
Course Failure Rate: 70%
Yue Xingwen was overjoyed when he saw the points, but after seeing the 70% failure rate, his heart suddenly sank down.
It seemed that there were many student teams who had not been able to deduce the connection between ‘Murder Mystery Game’ and the reality plot, or had been killed by the ghost brides during the nighttime escape phase? The failure rate for this course was incredibly high.
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath, and finally took a glance at the strange inn, which was shrouded in the moonlight, and left the examination room.
May there be less harm in the world ‘in the name of love’. Before loving someone, learn how to respect each other’s personality first. Everyone was independent and had the right to choose their own life. To force the other party and interfere with the other party in the name of love, that was just a manifestation of selfishness.
Yue Xingwen thought that if he liked anyone, he would definitely spoil and love the other party, support their ideas, and give them enough respect and personal space.
Pingce said that he was a theoretical student, but theory was the basis of practice.
