I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

He understood from Chu Chu's words that this "ghost marriage contract" was just like a marriage certificate with causal effects.

After obtaining their marriage certificate, the two locked themselves up completely, and no one else could interfere.

But what if one day Lin Yan is forced to form a pact with a second bizarre creature...?

For example, with Chu Chu, who is always looking to take advantage of any weakness, or other eccentric characters in the group, he might easily gain 100 points of favorability with a little trick.

Then, without realizing it, I formed a bond with them, and they left a mark on me as well.

Finally, one night, Saya, the first wife, saw it...

That damn scumbag!

His chest was covered with more than a dozen colorful marks, just like the pork that had passed inspection at the supermarket, densely covering the scissor marks on his chest.

That would be far more than just a simple outcome like being hacked to pieces, dismembered, cremated on the spot, and having the ashes fed to dogs.

Given Saya's temperament, the worst outcome would be the destruction of the city.

Lin Yan became increasingly panicked as he thought about it, and hurriedly shook his head, trying to shake off those terrifying images.

That's a matter for the future, at least he's still alive now.

Just as Lin Yan was trying to comfort herself, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor came from outside the door.

She's here.

"Brother! Run! Something's wrong with that old woman, she's even expanded her domain! Chu Chu is now..."

Before Chu Chu could finish speaking, Lin Yan hadn't even had a chance to get up.

The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and the old wooden door began to melt away little by little, starting from the cracks in the door frame.

No, to be precise, it was assimilated by an abyss, its physical form erased.

The abyss swallowed the entire dormitory in milliseconds, and even the moonlight outside the window disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, the radio stopped abruptly.

Chu Chu was kicked out.

"Noisy little bugs."

Saya hadn't shown herself yet. Lin Yan adjusted his breathing. Although he kept reminding himself not to show any cowardice, he didn't know anything about Saya's abilities.

It seems that the difference between 50% and 100% authority is more than double.

Saya slowly stepped out of the shadows, and in that small space, only she and he remained.

She was still wearing a trench coat today, fitted at the waist, showing off her figure.

However, she was different from the Saya that Lin Yan remembered.

At this moment, she not only suppressed all her hostility, but she also held the white mask on her face in her hand and played with it.

In this space where only the two of them remained, Saya made no attempt to disguise herself.

She showed her face without any hesitation.

Lin Yan naturally noticed Saya's change, but he was also a little unsure at the moment.

What is this?

Will you stop pretending after getting married?

Saya, meanwhile, was looking down at the spot on Lin Yan's chest.

She was looking at ghost marriage contracts.

If there were any ordinary people here besides Lin Yan, the pressure she naturally exuded would be enough to crush them.

Even with his eyes closed, Lin Yan could sense that Saya was a little angry.

Last night's attempt to forcefully break the formation failed, and in addition, half of my power was extracted by the ghost marriage contract.

If Saya hadn't already left her mark on Lin Yan, the mere fact that Lin Yan had borrowed her authority would have caused her to fall half a step down from her promotion.

Lin Yan could sense from the scissor mark on the chest that this half-step advanced expert was merely putting on a brave face.

Lin Yan tried to see what happened last night from Saya's perspective.

But no matter how he thought about it, from any angle, from Saya's perspective, the culprit who caused all of this was Lin Yan.

There is no other reason.

"You're much bolder than I imagined."

Saya finally spoke.

She suddenly leaned down, her trench coat gently brushing against the edge of the bed.

As Saya approached, her hair brushed against Lin Yan's forearm, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

"Taking advantage of the air-locking array in the air-raid shelter cutting off my senses, I forcibly forged... a death pact."

Saya seemed somewhat embarrassed to utter the words "ghost marriage," but her actions were quite bold.

Completely disregarding the boundaries between men and women, she reached out and touched Lin Yan's chest directly.

As she gently touched the scissor marks on her chest, she said with a self-deprecating smile:

"Once this mark is left, it can never be washed away."

"Your half-human soul will be sewn together with a bloody and terrifying monster forever."

Saya stared into Lin Yan's eyes, a faint red light flickering deep within them:

"Tell the truth."

"If you could find even one other way to survive in that underground cave..."

"You'd probably rather kneel before someone else than cross this disgusting and troublesome red line, right?"

Lin Yan was taken aback by the question.

Where did you get this idea, sir?

But after thinking for a moment, he understood what Saya was thinking.

She wasn't joking; on the contrary, she was very serious at that moment.

She felt inferior.

She sees herself as a grotesque monster abandoned by the normal world.

She felt that Lin Yan had only signed the contract with her through gritted teeth and nausea in a desperate situation, clinging to a straw to save himself.

She was afraid that once Lin Yan regained consciousness, he would show even the slightest regret for the mark.

In fact it is.

Saya had already planned everything before she came.

If Lin Yan dared to show even the slightest hesitation at this moment, or offer a timid and hesitant explanation, saying that he was only trying to save his own life...

She would rather dig out this mark she left behind, along with Lin Yan's heart, right now.

Even if it meant giving up half of his authority, he would never accept his charity!

Lin Yan didn't think too much at the moment; he just felt that Saya was acting strangely.

Feeling the fingers swirling around her chest, Lin Yan had no interest in appreciating the warmth.

He knows her too well.

Whether it's Xiaoqi or Saya, they are actually quite similar.

Lin Yan suddenly straightened his back.

No refunds!

Not only did he not back down, he even stood up straight from the hospital bed! The movement was so violent that the threads of his red dress tugged, and beads of blood seeped out.

But that doesn't diminish his sincerity in pursuing Saya.

Lin Yan met Saya's eyes, his voice low and affectionate:

"Yes."

"If I hadn't done that back then, I wouldn't even have a complete corpse left now."

"I only reached out to you because I needed to survive."

Lin Yan made no attempt to hide his will to survive.

Saya's eyes dimmed instantly.

But then, he abruptly changed his tone, reversing the situation and blaming the victim:

"But if I don't ask you for help, do you expect me to hand my life over to those incompetent fools in the Folklore Bureau?!"

"Old Zhao, please forgive me," Lin Yan added in his mind.

"Or should I form contracts with other bizarre creatures?"

"No, I can't do it!"

"Even if Chu Chu or some other weirdo were willing to save me, why should I take on their karma?"

"Yes, I'm just an ordinary person without spiritual power, but I do have a heart!"

"My heart is too small; it can only hold one person."

Lin Yan rattled off a string of words, completely disrupting Saya's thoughts.

She was momentarily flustered.
