If there was an absolutely strong tourist who could unify the tour group, this problem would not be an issue. But first, they were separated and unable to communicate with each other. Second, time was tight. There would be three cries within a day and a half. The tourists wouldn’t gather together for each session but would go to Pingping’s house separately.
In this way, if someone made a different choice from the rest, they were likely to drag their teammates down.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen sighed and looked at the teammates who were assigned to him. Yu Hean always allowed others to feel trustworthy and reliable. He wholeheartedly trusted Xu Chen’s analysis and it appeared that he would follow whatever decision Xu Chen made. Meanwhile, Lin Xi was a little distracted from beginning to end. Seeing Lin Xi’s restless appearance, Xu Chen could imagine what he was thinking about.
ā€œWhere did Guide III go?ā€
Sigh, look, what else would Lin Xi think about besides III-9?
ā€œYes, I’m really flustered when I can’t see Guide III.ā€
Yu Hean also echoed, worried. Because he couldn’t see Guide III and didn’t know about his brother’s situation, Yu Hean couldn’t put his heart to rest. More importantly, he wasn’t in a group with Wang Pengpai, and didn’t know if Wang Pengpai would look for Guide III again. Yu Hean was so worried he was about to become a mushroom.
Xu Chen was very helpless when he heard what they said. What else could he expect from these two teammates? He could only guess the choices of Miao Fangfei’s group and Zhao Hongtu’s group by himself.
As for Xu Chen, he didn’t care about Pingping. He only cared about passing the tour safely. But thinking about the three cries they had to carry out, it meant that each of the three groups had a chance to influence Pingping. He was afraid it would depend on the comprehensive results of everyone’s effort in the end. Some people might want the wedding procession to happen while others might support disrupting the wedding procession. Their group might encounter internal conflict before they even started anything.
However, the decisions of both Miao Fangfei’s group and Zhao Hongtu’s group were easy to guess. They were both people with strong senses of justice, and were likely to choose to destroy the wedding procession and return Pingping’s happiness to her.
There were many ways to ruin a wedding.
Xu Chen pondered. The most extreme thing they could do was to kill all the people in the village. Naturally, the wedding could not be held this way. But this was almost impossible, and such a method was too rough.
What exactly did Pingping, who was immersed in re-enacting history, want?
She rejected her sweetheart and chose to get married. This meant that the village head or Cordoned-off Village was very important in her heart at the moment. Killing all the people in the village might not make Pingping happy.
Elopement or kidnapping the bride could also destroy the wedding.
Xu Chen remembered that when he had gone to gather at the village head’s house today and exchanged information with Miao Fangfei, Miao Fangfei had mentioned that she saw Pingping and Ah Cheng meeting by a small tree in the forest.
Would it be good if they let Pingping elope? Was there a better idea than this? Was this the happiness she pursued?
ā€œShe might not be happy with elopement.ā€
Wang Pengpai let out a tsk as he shook his head and looked at the pair, a man and a woman, who were meeting at the entrance of the village. The man was handsome and the woman appeared spirited and captivating. When they stood together in the moonlight, they really seemed like a beautiful couple.
If Wang Pengpai hadn’t just seen him meeting Pingping, and how another woman approached him after Pingping left, he really would have thought that the man’s affectionate confession to Pingping was true.
Scum man, blergh.
Wang Pengpai secretly despised the man’s actions and noted down the woman’s appearance. He left before the man could glance in his direction.
Wang Pengpai already knew how to complete the crying marriage attraction. Xu Chen’s thinking was limited to the two options of ā€œsupporting the weddingā€ and ā€œdestroying the wedding,ā€ and his ultimate goal was only to live until noon on the sixth day.
Individual tourists had experienced little team cooperation, and most of them could only fight alone. They usually acted alone, and couldn’t discover the final solution of the attraction. But in fact, tour parties that embarked on tours had already summed up their own set of experiences. Intoxicating Xiangxi was a Dangerous-level tour. Even if it was a Super Difficult tour, the solution of the final attraction would only lead to three outcomes.
Bad end, happy end, and true end.
These three outcomes would allow one to complete the attraction, but the depths to which they needed to explore the attraction were also different, and the difficulty and final rewards were also different. The bad end of this crying marriage attraction would be that the tourists followed the people of Cordoned-off Village to maintain the wedding, and the tragedy of Pingping was repeated. Finally, the enemy they would have to face would be the spiteful ghost Pingping.
A happy end likely meant they had to destroy the wedding. Pingping would elope with her sweetheart, Ah Cheng, and find her own happiness. But with the Travel Services’ consistent horrible personality, even if it was a good end, it would only be a good one on the surface. When the tourists thought they completed the task and relaxed their guards, the Travel Services would take advantage of them being unprepared and an attack would occur. Many inexperienced tourists died at this time.
It was just like the scene Wang Pengpai had seen. Ah Cheng also met other girls after his tryst with Pingping. Since he was unfaithful to Pingping, if they really urged Pingping to elope with Ah Cheng, Wang Pengpai could already imagine what the ending would be. It was likely that Ah Cheng would cheat Pingping of her body and her feelings, and finally take her back to the village to re-enact the history in a much more horrible manner.
But it was hard for tourists to discover this because it was reasonable to say that they should have already rested in the houses at this time. There were other people in their houses. If they wanted to learn about Ah Cheng’s infidelity, he was afraid they would have to find other clues. For example, accidentally finding out that a girl in the village hated Pingping, and then learning that the silver bracelet she was wearing was the same as the one given to Pingping by Ah Cheng. Furthermore, these clues would have to be detected in just a day and a half.
This was almost impossible to accomplish.
Only Wang Pengpai could accomplish this after unsealing the first part of his powers. He was now almost like a bug, and could swagger around Cordoned-off Village late at night to witness all this with his own eyes.
ā€œWhere is III-9?ā€
Wang Pengpai had used a special dummy to cast an illusion that would cause the others to think that he was sleeping in the house. Then, he had locked the livestream room’s camera on the dummy and gone out to find III-9 himself. After all, he had pulled III-9 into the attraction. Wang Pengpai had to find him and control him before he could rest assured.
But after Wang Pengpai walked a few laps around the village, he was in shock. He couldn’t find III-9!
III-9 certainly wouldn’t have expected to be pulled into the attraction. According to his personality before, he was definitely not a person who would experience the attraction without causing trouble. Wang Pengpai had speculated that he might even go crazy until he was caught and locked up by the people of Cordoned-off Village. Anyway, he should be very obvious to the eye.
But after three laps around the village, Wang Pengpai could boast that he had observed all the villagers in Cordoned-off Village. He hadn’t missed anyone, but he still hadn’t found III-9. When Wang Pengpai tried to confirm where III-9 was by sensing the location of the blackish-gold climbing rope, he was told [Sorry, your esteemed self doesn’t have enough authority to do so].
Fuck his grandmother! Who didn’t have enough authority! Wang Pengpai was so angry that he wanted to curse, motherfucker. In the absence of the captain, Wang Pengpai should have the greatest authority. How was it that his authority was not high enough?
Did III-9 leave the tour ahead of schedule?
After looking around once again, Wang Pengpai murmured in his heart. There was no way it happened, but he had to start considering the possibility that III-9 had left the tour. However, Wang Pengpai still didn’t believe that it had happened.
ā€œFuck his grandmother. This fat lord has never made an error in his calculations.ā€
Wang Pengpai rolled up his sleeves to rouse his fighting spirit. His intuition told him that III-9 hadn’t left yet, and was just deeply hidden in the tour. But no matter how deeply hidden he was, he, Wang Pengpai, could even dig three feet into the ground to dig him out!
At this time, Wang Pengpai was mostly suspicious of two people. One was the ā€œCordoned-off Village’s villagersā€ in Miao Fangfei’s house. Because the tour group had a total of eight people that were divided between three houses, Wang Pengpai and Xu Chen had three tourists and one ā€œCordoned-off Village’s villagerā€ in their house.
Only Miao Fangfei’s house had two tourists and two ā€œCordoned-off Village’s villagers.ā€ Now that III-9 was in this attraction, he was probably one of them.
Wang Pengpai also suspected the ā€œCordoned-off Village’s villagerā€ in Yu Hean’s house. After all, Yu Hehui was in III-9’s hands now. Maybe he would use this to threaten Yu Hean to help him cover his identity.
After thinking about Yu Hean’s unnatural behavior when he had stood between III-9 and him, Wang Pengpai thought that III-9 had already started to stir up trouble.
ā€œIt’s time to go back.ā€
He hadn’t managed to obtain any information tonight, but Wang Pengpai was not in a hurry. III-9 would reveal his fox tail eventually.
On the way back to the village, Wang Pengpai saw Ah Cheng and the girl from a distance, but the girl seemed to be crying. She raised her hand to slap Ah Cheng, but Ah Cheng pushed her away. Finally, she ran away crying.
Beast!
Wang Pengpai scolded in his heart. After taking two steps forward, he suddenly stopped. He suddenly turned back and narrowed his eyes to look at Ah Cheng. He wanted to look at Ah Cheng’s appearance, but Ah Cheng had disappeared. Wang Pengpai had a hunch in his heart and took two steps forward to chase Ah Cheng. However, he looked at the time again and silently cursed. He couldn’t do that now so he turned to leave.
.
How irritating. Ah Cheng should be decimated.
Wei Xun was really impatient and felt sick inside. Ah Cheng had Pingping, a girl who was so good at fighting, but Ah Cheng didn’t cherish her. Instead, he was flirting outside!
Just now, Pingping had been very moved but had refused his request to elope, which made Wei Xun very depressed. As a result, he was about to go to Pingping’s house to see if he could run into Pingping again when he was entangled by a woman.
Pingping was gentle and beautiful, and was Ah Cheng’s childhood sweetheart, but they were too young and innocent to suspect each other of being a bad partner. After all, Pingping was the daughter of the strict village head, and seldom had a chance to meet Ah Cheng. Hence, Ah Cheng was very depressed. At this time, a girl named Fangfang took advantage of the situation.
Fangfang had a style similar to bright and unrestrained red roses. Furthermore, the village’s girls were usually the bubbly type and good at singing. There were more of Fangfang’s type among the village’s girls, and less girls like Pingping. However, Pingping was better looking. In addition, she and Ah Cheng had had feelings for each other for many years, so Ah Cheng preferred Pingping.
But Fangfang had pursued him passionately, and even tough men were afraid of pestering women. Ah Cheng himself was not a person with firm will, and after being pursued so passionately, he would also be moved.
In the words of He Shuhuan, Ah Cheng’s mentality could be described as ā€œI’m not the only one who is attracted to two women in this world.ā€
Especially now that Pingping was about to get married. Ah Cheng was in pain, but Fangfang was very happy. She specially came to Ah Cheng late at night to passionately confess to him. She said things like, ā€œBrother Ah Cheng, the fate between humans is predestined,ā€ and ā€œYou only had Pingping in your eyes in the past, but now Pingping is getting married. You should have me, who is chasing you, in your eyes now.ā€
According to common sense, Ah Cheng, who was repeatedly rejected by Pingping and even had his silver bracelet returned to him, would be extremely vulnerable now that he was grieving. In particular, Ah Cheng was not like Chen Shimei. He was hesitating between the two women. Tonight, Fangfang had specially worn thin clothing. Under the moonlight, the beauty appeared lovely, warm, and bold. Normal men would be unable to refuse her.
Tonight, they might have already rolled together in the sheets.
But now Wei Xun was Ah Cheng. After Fangfang had rushed over, Wei Xun had cruelly and heartlessly shoved her until she stumbled. He said righteously:
ā€œFangfang, let’s draw a line. My body and heart belong to Pingping.ā€
Wei Xun would not easily ā€œchange his mindā€ without a fight to the death with Pingping!
ā€œBut, but Sister Pingping is getting married.ā€ Fangfang said sadly. She seemed to understand Brother Cheng’s heart very well and continued, ā€œBrother Cheng, if you go on like this, it will be bad for Sister Pingping’s reputation.ā€
She then stroked the silver bracelet on her wrist and said affectionately, ā€œBrother Cheng, you gave me this silver bracelet, which is the same as the one Sister Pingping had. I know your heart is bitter. Tonight, you can treat me as Sister Pingping.ā€
ā€œI, I don’t mind.ā€
With that, Fangfang wanted to rush over again. This time, instead of pushing her away, Wei Xun grabbed her wrist and snatched the bracelet off. Goodness, did she also have the same bracelet as Pingping? Ah Cheng couldn’t decide between them, but Wei Xun could.
ā€œThis bracelet looks good on Pingping.ā€
Facing Fangfang’s eyes that reflected her disbelief, Wei Xun spoke in a very scummy manner. He then put the silver bracelet directly into his pocket. After seeing that Fangfang’s eyes were red and she had raised her other hand, wanting to slap Wei Xun, he pushed Fangfang away directly and took two steps back vigilantly.
ā€œI know I’m handsome, but don’t even think about it. We won’t end up together, got it?ā€
Looking at Fangfang’s small body, Wei Xun knew with just a glance that she had no potential to become a spiteful ghost. Wei Xun looked at her disdainfully.
ā€œSob, sob, sob!ā€
Fangfang was so angry she cried. She turned around and ran away. While crying, she turned her head and looked at Wei Xun. Her tearful eyes were filled with resentment and wrath. Those eyes appeared gorgeous, as if she hoped Wei Xun would catch up with her.
However, Wei Xun immediately turned around and left without giving her another look.
