The coffin in the mourning hall was much larger than the one in front of me, and it was completely black.But the one in front of me was completely smaller, and it was painted red, with intricate patterns painted on it with gold powder.

Du Jianian was about to go over to ask Qin Li what was going on, when he heard the old man say, "Open the coffin and put it in the coffin!"

There is no way, Du Jianian drew a mourner, so he can only bite the bullet at this moment.

He carried the female body out of the car according to the old man's instructions.But he didn't know if it was Du Jianian's psychological effect, he felt that the female corpse in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, at first it just made his hands tremble slightly, but in the end the weight directly pushed him to kneel on one knee.

"Don't stop! It's unlucky to put a corpse on the ground!" The old man was still urging.

Du Jianian gritted his teeth and stood up again.Seeing this, everyone made way for him one after another, for fear that they would run into this corpse.Only Qin Li stood beside the coffin, neither dodging nor dodging: "My position here is a bit small, don't put your feet upside down."

"I know, the place where the head is placed should be slightly larger, and it must be different from the place where the feet are."

After speaking, he gently put the female corpse into the coffin, and nodded slightly as he passed by Qin Li, knowing that Qin Li was reminding him that the coffin was different from the one in the mourning hall.

Only Gao Yi, an idiot, went up to take a look: "Really, you two observe really carefully."

Maybe even the old man thought he was talking too much, so he waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, and knock the nails on the coffin!" After speaking, he took out a few palm-length nails and a hammer from the bag he was carrying, and handed it to him. out.

Unfortunately, the one who got this identity card was a relatively weak girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen.Du Jianian saw her message on his mobile phone, her name is Chen Zhi.

She was trembling with the hammer before hitting her own hand a few times. The nail smashed into her hand, and the blood immediately dripped out, and a lot of it even dripped onto the coffin.

The old man's face was filled with panic in an instant, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he pulled Chen Zhi away: "There is blood in the coffin, and the fierceness is added to the fierceness! Just carry the coffin to the mourning hall, hurry up!"

So this group of people hurried to the mourning hall again.As soon as Du Jianian stepped into the mourning hall, he felt something was wrong. All the paper figurines around him disappeared, leaving only this empty mourning hall and the fluttering red lanterns on the left and right.

The black coffin in the center had also been opened. Du Jianian took a closer look and found that the coffin was not empty.There is a male corpse, but without a head.

"what!"

Someone in the team yelled softly, he was the one who carried the coffin with Qin Li just now.

"There was no one here just now."

Du Jianian heard what he said, and re-observed the corpse.If the players are not around, who will carry him into this coffin?

Although the male corpse was headless, the rest of the body was well preserved.The man was dressed in the same sackcloth as they were, and no further information could be gleaned from the clothes.

Du Jianian focused on his hand. There was a small burnt mark on the index finger and middle finger of the man's right hand, which could only be left by people who smoked all the year round.When he saw this, Du Jianian was still not sure, but when he saw the watch on the dead man's hand, he confirmed his identity almost instantly - this man was the driver who brought them here.

It's just that he didn't know why he was fine in the afternoon, but now he was headless and lying in a coffin in the mourning hall.

Moreover, since they are all going to the mourning hall, why do they have to take out the small coffin before putting it back in?Is it to give the male corpse time to put it in, or is it covering up something?

It was the old man's words that broke Du Jianian's thoughts: "Put this coffin in, and follow me up the mountain!"

The previous coffin bearers had no choice but to put the smaller red coffin back into the black coffin.Two coffins, one red and one black, and the two corpses of a man and a woman finally lay together in one place.

After the coffin was placed, Du Jianian turned around and left the mourning hall with everyone, but at the moment of leaving, he saw clearly what was under the altar through the dim candlelight in the mourning hall.

The paper figurines did not disappear, but were neatly arranged in a row and placed under the altar to watch them.They still had narrow eyes and upturned smiles, and when the candlelight flickered, it seemed that the smiles on their faces came alive.

……

Fortunately, nothing went wrong during the process of going up to the mountain to be buried. After the whole process of the ghost marriage was over, the old man led them back to the village and asked them to find thatched huts to live in and not to go out at night.

There are only two intact thatched huts left in this village, so men and women had to have one each, and went to rest separately.

Du Jianian lay down, but didn't feel sleepy.The environment of this thatched hut is really harsh, the inside of the hut is damp and has a musty smell.Occasionally, a rustling sound could be heard from the ground, which may be some insects crawling on the ground.

In addition, what happened today was beyond his cognition, and the weird and mixed information made it impossible for him to sleep at ease.He turned over and found that Qin Li was as big-hearted as ever, and was already resting with his eyes closed.

But Qin Li didn't lie down completely, but leaned against the wall, maintaining a posture where he could get up at any time.

Du Jianian saw that Qin Li had just felt a little drowsy, and was awakened by the knock on the door.

Along with the knock on the door, there was a more urgent call for help: "Help me...help me quickly, they are crazy!"

It was a girl's voice. The moment Qin Li heard the voice, he quickly stood up and stood by the door.

The sound finally woke up everyone in the room, and Gao Yi thought it was his own home while he was sleepy: "Who is it?" He was about to reach out to open the door when he was speaking, but Du Jianian quickly held it down with his hand.

Du Jianian: "Who are you?"

The tone of the female voice outside suddenly became weird: "Don't you remember me? We stayed together all day today."

Du Jianian didn't move, but the person who lived with them seemed to hear something: "Is your wife?"

Immediately outside the door became excited: "Husband! It's me! You open the door quickly, I'm afraid!"

The man was in a hurry to go up and open the door, but Qin Li grabbed his wrist.Seeing this, Gao Yi said beside him: "You said it was your wife, and she immediately agreed. I also said she was my granddaughter, is she?"

The voice outside paused for a moment, and then yelled again: "Husband, why don't you open the door for me? I'm so scared! Can you let me in!"

"Okay, I'll let you in right now!"

At this time, the sound outside suddenly stopped, and all the shouting and knocking on the door stopped.The man broke away from Qin Li and pulled the door open.

There was nothing empty outside the door, only a red lantern hanging on the eaves.

"Wife?"

The man stepped out of the door, intending to look around.But he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out the door, he heard a gloomy voice behind him: "My husband, I'm here."

Du Jianian could see clearly from the other side of the door, and what he was speaking was clearly the paper man they saw in the mourning hall today!But it was too late to save him at this time, the paper figurine jumped up in an instant, and the bamboo stick used to fix his body quickly slashed across the man's neck, and a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound on his neck in an instant. The paper man in front of him was dyed red.

The moment it was stained red with blood, the smile on the paper figurine's face seemed to deepen.He stood at the door, staring at Du Jianian: "Don't you know me? Why didn't you open the door for me?"

What greeted the paper figurine was a door that opened and closed in front of it, accompanied by Qin Li's words: "Looking for tearing?"

paper man:……

After the door closed, no one in the room spoke for a while.Instead, Du Jianian got up and looked at the door of the thatched cottage. It was a rough and ordinary door.And they were unlocked, so outsiders could get in with a light push.

Why did the paper man outside the door keep letting them open the door?The strength of the paper man doesn't seem to be able to push the door open.

"invite."

Du Jianian looked at Qin Li, but after Qin Li only said these two words, he went back to sleep on his own.

Invitation... Du Jianian carefully recalled the details just now, and suddenly figured out something.

Except for the man just now, no one else in the room invited the "people" outside the door to come in.Only when the dead man said something to let her in, did this cause a catastrophe.

But you can't come in without an invitation. What's so special about this house?

Du Jianian wanted to think about it again, but Gao Yi's snoring had already started. He checked his phone and found that it would be dawn soon, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

The roof of this thatched hut is not tight, and when the sun comes out, sunlight pours down through the gaps.Du Jianian was awakened by the sunlight, got up and walked out of the thatched hut.

Not long after dawn, the red lantern at the door went out by itself.Du Jianian looked at the door and found that the man's body was no longer there, only the remaining dark red blood stains told people about the horror that happened last night.

Du Jianian took out his phone and took a look. In less than a day, three players had died.He looked at the [-] mountains surrounding the village and sighed, wondering when such a day would end.

The players have already come out of the house one after another, and there is not a single female player missing. I think nothing strange happened to them last night.A person who looked like a middle-aged woman came to them, looking as if she was looking for someone.

"Have you seen my husband?"

She stretched her neck and looked into the room, but because of her gender, she was embarrassed to go in.But everyone in the thatched hut came out, and the middle-aged woman still didn't see where her husband was. She described it again with her last hope: "A little fat, with black-rimmed glasses."

Gao Yi heard the words and whispered in Du Jianian's ear: "Brother Du, it couldn't be last night..."

Du Jianian nodded imperceptibly, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but Qin Li said it before him: "He is dead."

"Dead?" The middle-aged woman repeated, and then she looked around the house, and finally saw the pool of dark red blood on the ground outside the door.Sitting slumped next to the pool of blood, she murmured, "Impossible."

At the end, he seemed to remember something, stood up awkwardly, and looked at the group of male players: "How did he die? Did you kill him? He was fine yesterday, how could he just say he died!"

The dispute here quickly attracted the attention of all players, and a large group of people gathered in a short while.Seeing that the quarrel was going to start, Du Jianian had no choice but to look at the female players and change the subject: "By the way, did you hear someone knocking on the door last night?"
