Chapter 375 The Disappearing Bridegroom

Josh read those lines on the card carefully and he felt his scalp tingling.

“It said that we will see a house full of severed limbs as if those people were crunched by some monster…. Only bloody bones and some fragments of their skin were left…”

“We think that it must be the bride. The bride must be the ghost here who devoured the bridegroom on the day of their marriage…”

Lilly asked, “Yes, that should be the case, right?”

Josh shook his head, “Later on, they discovered that those limbs and bones and rib cages belong to the bride… Her main body was hanging in the middle of the room while it was still draped in her red wedding

dress…”

“To put it precisely, her head was hanging from another side of the ceiling while her body and wedding dress were hanging around. There are a lot of empty spaces if you pull up the dress… Her head was separated from her body, but the bridegroom is nowhere to be seen.”

It meant that only the bride had met a terrible end in the room that wedding night, and all the broken limbs and bones on the floor as well as the body hanging from the ceiling belonged to the bride.

“That night, those who entered the courtyard did not come out at all. We are now in the marriage room.

Josh could not help but suck in a deep breath when he reached this part. Lilly and the others instinctively looked up at the ceiling…

Luckily, nothing was there.

For some reason, they felt a chill running down their spine.

Josh continued, “Our task is to find the bridegroom and to leave this courtyard… These are the conditions. for passing the first stage.”

Hannah immediately turned around, “This is easy. We can just leave by tracing our footsteps when we came in just now!”

This was game over!

Hannah felt proud of herself for being so smart.

However, Josh shook his head, “We can’t retreat. The wall somehow appeared out of nowhere and sealed off our entrance.”

Everyone turned around and as expected, they could not discern the entrance anymore.

They remembered that there was a tiny door that was inconspicuous. They did not pay much attention when they came in.

“We have to leave this room,” Josh said anxiously.

They began to find the door.

The room was quite huge. There were curtains hanging down from the ceiling to divide the room into

sections.

When Lilly saw those curtains, her curiosity got the best of her, “Did they have curtains in ancient times?”

She saw on television that they always used some kind of window screen when the drama was set in ancient times.

Bad

guys who wanted to poison the protagonist would use their saliva to poke a hole in the window screen that was apparently made of paper.

Josh was stunned, “You are right about that…”

There should not have been modern curtains in ancient times. When they reached just now, the wind must be blowing at something.

When the realization hit them, the kids yelled and screamed abruptly. To be more precise, Josh and Hannah were the ones who screamed first, and they were followed by Lilly. They began to dash off with no sense of direction!

“It’s a ghost!”

There should be no curtains, yet something was getting whipped up in the air by the wind just now. It must be the wedding dress of the bride!

Bryson turned around to check and saw that indeed, there were never any curtains in the first place.

They were in so much shock just now that they did not ake note of the color of the so-called “curtain” just

now.

Bryson could no longer maintain his composure.

So, Anthony did not clear the field? Did he not remove all the scary items and apparitions?

What was unfolding in front of his eyes right now…

Everyone was in the courtyard now in no time.

Bryson was still able to prevent himself from screaming or looking scared, but he was on the verge of breaking down.

Drake’s face was all rigid and stern.

Josh and Hannah’s hair was standing on end.

Lilly caught her breath and asked, “Josh, is this courtyard a huge one?”

Josh checked the card and there was a map behind it.
