What to do if you're forced to marry a demon king's daughter in a horror game?

……

……

Half past eleven in the evening.

Su Yu arrived near Anxin Community ahead of schedule.

This is her second time here.

To her surprise, the once chaotic and noisy place was now filled with a sense of desolation.

The number of residents in the community has decreased by more than half in just a few years.

"What happened here?"

"If this is just a regular relocation, it's too fast!"

"Surely so many people couldn't have moved out in such a short time?"

Su Yu looked at the dark residential building, her heart pounding.

She had already sensed something extremely unusual and terrifying.

It was as if the narrow stairwell in front of her was no longer a stairwell, but a lurking monster, just waiting for her to get close so it could devour her alive.

"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look."

Su Yu took a deep breath and quickened her pace.

The moment her figure disappeared into the darkness, she was ready to pull out her sledgehammer at any moment!

140. What the hell are you calling me? You're more like a ghost than I am!

In the quiet stairwell, only Su Yu's footsteps could be heard.

Every house they passed by had its doors tightly shut.

The lights in the hallway flickered on and off.

The dim, yellowish color made it very difficult to see the road ahead.

The railings on both sides of the corridor are in disrepair and some are even broken in several places.

"This makes me think that this place might have been uninhabited for a long time."

In this situation, one's breathing, footsteps, and even heartbeat are amplified infinitely.

However, after gradually adapting to the environment, Su Yu slowly relaxed.

She began to deliberately slow down and observe her surroundings.

“There is a mirror hanging on the door of each of these houses.”

"As everyone knows, the mirrors hanging on the door are used to ward off evil spirits."

"There were unburnt incense sticks and paper money at the entrance of the third-floor stairwell."

"At the entrances of the stairwells on the first and fifth floors, there are snacks offered to children."

"The rooftop is locked... but should we go check it out?"

Su Yu thought for a moment, and was about to take out a hammer and forcefully break down the door when she heard a heavy cough.

The cough sounded like an old woman's voice.

Su Yu turned around abruptly and saw that the door to room 603, which she had just passed, was open a crack, through which a faint green light shone.

"Young man, you can't go any further. Turn back!"

It was indeed an old woman's voice.

"We don't welcome outsiders here!"

After saying that, she closed the door again.

Su Yu thought for a moment, then looked at the iron gate leading to the top floor once again.

"There are three buildings in Anxin Community. We don't know the situation of the other two buildings yet. Why don't we go and take a look at those two buildings first?"

Clearly, she didn't take this strange old woman seriously.

No matter how you look at it, this old woman is just an ordinary, strange human being.

Su Yu wasn't very interested in humans.

The old lady hiding behind the door frowned as she listened to Su Yu's departing footsteps.

She slowly opened the door once again.

This time, what greeted her was the sinister smile of Miss Ghost King's rag doll.

Good evening, grandma?

"..."

The old lady was so frightened that she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Spoken?

The rag doll in the red dress spoke?!

"Ghost, ghost!"

"What are you yelling for? You're more like a ghost than me!"

The doll stood with its hands on its hips and snorted defiantly.

"So, wearing your burial shroud while you're still alive means you're eager to die? Well then, I'll just send you on your way..."

"No! No! Get away from me, you evil spirit!"

The old woman, her hands trembling, grabbed a handful of salt from a jar by the door and sprinkled it on the rag doll. She then grabbed a large handful of glutinous rice and scattered it at the doorway.

The rag doll, its new clothes soiled, looked resentful.

boom--

While the doll was looking down at the clothes, the old lady decisively closed the door.

"Ah, what cowardly and strange humans."

The doll spat out the salt it had accidentally swallowed, making three "pui pui pui" sounds.

"You can't even scare Xiaoyu, so what are you pretending to be a god for, what kind of ghost are you playing at!"

……

"Ah!"

Su Yu, who was walking towards Building 2 of Anxin Community, suddenly sneezed for no reason.

"Is someone talking badly about me?"

She rubbed the tip of her nose.

"Hmm, it might be a cold."

On her way to Building 2, Su Yu noticed some strange phenomena.

For example, at every intersection in the community, there were white lines drawn with lime, as if trying to ward off some kind of terrifying ghosts. After officially entering Building 2, there was a noticeable increase in the amount of white lime on the ground, the walls were covered with yellow talismans, and the stairs were splattered with thick black dog blood.

"To ward off evil spirits?"

Su Yu couldn't explain the specific function of these things.

However, she was certain that these were all items used to ward off evil spirits.

Unlike Building 1, Building 2 is not as desolate; there are more residents here.

其中，2、4、6楼几乎住满了，1、3、5楼却是全空的。

Thinking back to the strange phenomena she had witnessed in Building 1, Su Yu vaguely realized what the problem was.

"No one lives on the odd-numbered floors."

"No, not only odd-numbered floors, but even odd-numbered buildings don't have a high occupancy rate."

Looking from the balcony of Building 2 towards Building 3, it's clear that Building 3 is in a similar situation to Building 1.

"So, does the singular make people unhappy here?"

This somewhat absurd conclusion flashed through Su Yu's mind and she couldn't shake it off.

"If I draw an odd number in the divination today, wouldn't that mean..."

"No, no, no, you can't think like that."

"My mouth is blessed; if I speak carelessly, misfortune will truly follow!"

Soon, Su Yu arrived near the top floor of Building 2.

Looking at the large, locked iron gate, she sighed.

Looking back, several female tenants on the 6th floor of Building 2 were washing clothes by the long, narrow pool on the east side.

Their gazes occasionally swept over Su Yu.

"Little sister, have you gone to the wrong place?"

One of the middle-aged women, with big, curly hair, couldn't help but call out to Su Yu.

"It's locked up there, stop looking and come down now!"

Su Yu said "Oh," but showed no intention of getting down.

Another young woman wearing floral shorts chuckled and asked, "Little sister, are you a live streamer too?"

Su Yu: "Huh?"

No, how does she look like a live streamer?

Is it just because she has two cat ears on her head?

"These days, paranormal live-streaming adventures are really popular. Our place is almost becoming a hotspot for internet celebrities to take photos."
