Mysterious Resurrection: Treacherous Pocket Watch

Chapter 153 Across the Brazier

in the courtyard.

The bright red figure faced the bright moonlight, and the bride lowered her head slightly. Under the red hijab, she couldn't see any facial features clearly, only a round chin with a mole could be seen from the gap between the tassels of the hijab.

She stood quietly on the spot, looking at the young man in groom's clothes beside her, stretching out her white and flawless palm.

Facing the Ghost Bride's invitation, after hesitating for a moment, Lin Fan stretched out his hand and held that palm.

"It feels... a bit strange."

Lin Fan was ready to receive the curse of certain death, but the curse he imagined did not come, instead it was an indistinct feeling.

Because the Ghost Bride's hand is much bigger than his, so when she holds it like this, her fingers interlock, there is an illusion of being pulled up by the other party.

And different from the Li ghosts I met before, although the palms of the Li ghost bride in front of me are also cold, the skin is as soft as a living person, without any stiffness at all.

If he hadn't known that she was definitely a red-clothed ghost, Lin Fan would probably have thought he was holding the hand of an ordinary girl.

"There was no attack."

Lin Fan took the Ghost Bride's hand, and began to quickly analyze the current situation in his mind, "Then rule out this possibility, the remaining key point should be how to step over the brazier."

He believes that since he knows that he needs to cross the brazier, there may be other meanings in holding hands with the ghost bride.

All ghosts operate in an orderly manner according to their own set of rules, so in this "marriage marriage" process, there are likely to be more metaphors hidden, for example, after putting on the groom's clothes, you can be free from ghosts. Bridal manipulation.

"No matter how much you guess, it will not be able to affect what happened. All the answers will be revealed later."

Lin Fan pressed his sore head with his other hand.

at this time.

After fully holding hands, the Ghost Bride also started to walk towards the brazier, and Lin Fan, who was also held together, couldn't help but walk towards the seemingly ordinary, festive thing that hides a terrifying murderous intent.

But for a while.

They came to the brazier.

Looking at the swaying flames inside, the tall bride raised her left leg wearing embroidered shoes, and Lin Fan also raised the same left leg.

at the same time.

At some point, a circle of paper figurines came around. They stared at the group of newlyweds who got married in the old house with piercing smiles, and applauded faintly.

And Lin Fan looked at the various clothes on these paper figurines, and understood in his heart that so many paper figurines were indeed made of living people.

Among these paper figurines, he also saw Luo Qian and Yuan Ping with pale and lifeless faces.

These two people are slightly different from the surrounding paper figurines. The upper body is still the body of a normal living person, while the lower body is as thin as a piece of paper.

It seems that the process of changing from a living person to a paper doll is relatively slow, and before they are completely transformed into paper dolls, they can still be called living people.

Bring your attention back to the present.

Lin Fan and Ghost Bride held hands, raised one leg at the same time, and hovered in the air directly above the brazier.

Just as they were about to step over at the same time, a nameless strange wind suddenly blew over, pulling the flickering flames in the brazier even narrower, and blowing away the accumulated ashes inside.

"call--"

The ashes that had accumulated for an unknown number of years were blown away by the wind, exposing the scorched fingers at the bottom.

As for the ashes, they didn't lose their effect because of this. On the contrary, they rolled aside with fine particles as if they were wrapped in something.

And without these things in the way, the flame in the brazier could no longer be suppressed, and burst out with a "pop".

The flames reached out like an open hand, trying to grab the leg that had passed.

"Ghost fire..."

"And it's not an ordinary will-o'-the-wisp."

Although the incident was a bit sudden, Lin Fan had already made corresponding preparations. Facing the oncoming flames, a large amount of blood oozed out from the groom's suit and the casual clothes inside at the same time, forming a thick layer of blood on the surface. network.

Under such tight protection, let alone the will-o'-the-wisp in front of him, even the golden will-o'-the-wisp controlled by Xiao Yang can resist it for a while.

But it was different from what Lin Fan expected.

When these flames were about to climb up his body, the ghost bride beside him actually took the initiative and leaned forward, attracting most of the will-o'-the-wisps.

Undoubtedly, the will-o'-the-wisps that were originally divided equally had a huge deviation, leaving only a few sporadic flames that jumped onto Lin Fan's trouser legs.

"So it is."

Seeing this scene, Lin Fan finally understood the meaning of holding hands with the ghost bride. Only in this way, the other party will help him bear part of the will-o'-the-wisp.

Of course, this conclusion will not be absolute, because there are still too many unknowns in the follow-up.

For the time being, it can be considered that in this series of tests of the ghost bride, the ghost bride itself does not play a negative role, but may provide a glimmer of life.

And judging from the logic of the vitality hidden in such details, the purpose of this red-clothed ghost from an unknown ancient house is most likely not to kill anyone, at least, so far.

"Could it be a ghost bride? Is it true that I want to find a groom for myself? Then, don't I want to stay here forever?"

Lin Fan was startled by this sudden thought.

Leaving aside the identity of this bride, he himself is a living person. After staying in this out-of-control spiritual place for a long time, he will definitely have some very serious problems.

If it is light, it means losing its mind, if it is serious, it is estimated that it will be irreversible, and it will be transformed into a ghost slave who only belongs to the ghost bride.

Just as Lin Fan was still thinking about how to escape, the remaining flames also stained his trouser legs covered in blood.

The menacing will-o'-the-wisp didn't even have the basics to burn, so it was extinguished by the bloodshot.

"not good!"

But Lin Fan's expression changed at this time.

Because the moment the will-o'-the-wisp was extinguished, there was an extra group of burning flames in his mind!
Moreover, the flame spread very fast, but in just three seconds, it had already occupied all of Lin Fan's thoughts.

"Crack, crack—"

At this moment, Lin Fan, who was in the courtyard, suddenly made a series of noises all over his body, and his skin surface was instantly drained of moisture and began to crack.

And from his eyes, he could even see a trace of the burning and expanding reflection of the will-o'-the-wisp, which was about to affect the real world from the aspect of consciousness.

"hateful!"

"It turned out to be a conscious attack!"

Lin Fan gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.

With his current situation, even in the face of several mortal curses, there is room for manipulation.

But only in terms of consciousness, it is impossible to make any effective defense, but the will-o'-the-wisp in the brazier is exactly the type of attack consciousness!
"No more hesitation!"

The speed of the will-o'-the-wisp spread was too fast, Lin Fan also made a decisive decision, relying on the instinct of his body, and took out a simple-looking writing brush from his pocket.

However, with the thoughts he can use now, he can't completely write the content that is beneficial to him, so he can only hold the brush and say viciously:
"Help me get rid of the will-o'-the-wisp! If you can't do it, I'll feed you to the oni-species right away!"

Hearing these words, the foxtail pen, who was still pretending to be dead, straightened up the pen reluctantly.

It is slightly sideways with the front end, as if it is looking at the ghost bride beside it. Although it is trembling with fear, it still can't help but look.

I don't know if it was the inspiration from the tall but poignant bride in front of me, the foxtail pen jumped up and quickly wrote lines on Lin Fan's palm.
