It was pitch black at both ends of the road, except where the crowd was standing there was a glimmer of light.
High and low crowds, long and short shadows.
Look again, there are fifty people in the group, and you can’t tell who the groom is.
There was no shadow under their feet, and they themselves stood upright and motionless.
Everyone heard their own heartbeat, everyone wanted to go home, and thought about what to do next.
Suddenly, a shadow suddenly shortened, almost matching the main body.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Yifei who fell to the ground.
"The word... it, it, it has changed..."
Qiu Yali was the closest to her. She knelt down and picked up the discarded card. There was a sentence clearly written on it:
The bridesmaids found the bride thirty minutes ago, put her makeup on and waited for the groom to show up.
Just as a hand was about to grab the card and check it personally, the card turned into ashes in mid-air.
After that, everyone took out their own cards, which were unchanged from before.
But it can be seen that each card may be a valid prompt, and the ideal result is twenty-three.
"The mission has come. If you have time to sigh, why not hurry up and go in and find the bride quickly."
The person who spoke was Qiu Yali. She was the eldest woman and an elder who believed that she could be the "master of the family" and have a place to speak.
Just as Yu Niao was about to leave, Shang Yu took her arm and whispered a few words to her.
Immediately, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, and she turned around and walked faster into the community.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is still in circulation as a single.
The appearance of the community is very different from before.
Residential buildings built brick by brick have turned into paper buildings. Every plant, tree, flower and leaf is all made of paper. Even the road under your feet is made of paper.
All are three colors: red, white, and blue.
Yu Niao touched it specially and kicked it smoothly. It was quite solid.
You can see red lanterns everywhere.
Her damn curiosity drove her to the 12th building, where she had tripped over the pig's hind hooves. She searched around, but the pig's body was nowhere to be seen.
Yu Niao raised her head and counted the floors. Chen Yifei jumped out of the flower bed and came over. "Miss, can I follow you?"
"Okay, remember, no matter what happens, don't scream, don't scare yourself, don't..."
Chen Yifei nodded one by one, carefully held Yu Niao's arm with both hands, and followed her around a paper acacia tree to the main gate of the twelfth building.
"This building is white."
Yu Niao was talking to herself, but Chen Yifei didn't understand and didn't dare to ask because when they walked into the corridor, they felt a chill on the soles of their feet.
The temperature all over my body seemed to drop instantly.
There is a red lantern hanging in the corridor with the word "happy" on it. Yu Niao remembers clearly that there was no such word on the lantern before.
"Sister, there is no wind in the room, why is that lantern swinging around?"
Who knows, Yu Niao ignored the lantern, held Chen Yifei's hand tightly, and was about to say that they would find it separately, but it didn't seem to work.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, but Yu Niao didn't dare to use it.
The two of them took the stairs. The number of steps was surprisingly small. They took three steps and two steps to reach another floor.
There are two rooms on the first floor, and the doors are open.
I searched the whole building and found nothing.
Yu Niao frowned and said nothing, while Chen Yifei breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the building.
Not even seven steps away, Chen Yifei turned around after hearing the sound and saw that the lantern in the corridor was out.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
Chen Yifei hurried over and found Yu Niao taking out a lighter from his pocket, lighting the candle in the lantern and hanging it back, and asked:
"Do I have to light it?"
Yu Niao was not convinced either, but nodded, "Okay, let's go out."
By this time, the door had been closed.
Chen Yifei huddled behind him.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. We can just close the door and open it again."
Yu Niao tried hard to open the door with both hands, but failed to open it despite repeated efforts.
"Little sister, is there someone who doesn't want us to go out? Look under your feet..." Chen Yifei said with a vibrato in the second half.
What seeped in through the crack in the door was blood.
Yu Niao squatted down, dipped his finger in the blood and smelled it, smelling of the scent of osmanthus.
The blood is also cold, at least it's not flowing out of anyone's body at this moment.
"Feifei, have you seen Osmanthus osmanthus in the community?"
Chen Yifei nodded, "Yes, I have seen it, but I don't know where it is. And -"
She suddenly remembered that on her way to find Yu Niao, she seemed to have encountered a white figure running towards him.
If you think about it more carefully, none of the girls wear white clothes.
"Calm down, Feifei." Yu Niao stood up. There was only one door here. She inhaled sharply and hit the door with her body.
"Great, the door is open!"
Chen Yifei was happy when he heard Yu Niao say:
"I didn't open the door, and the blood was gone."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yifei pointed at the white figure and stuttered. She wanted to run, but her arm was already pulled and she couldn't move.
"Xi'er! Are you Xi'er? We are her bridesmaids, and we don't mean any harm at all."
Yu Niao grabbed the arm of the woman in white, and there was a piece of iron that seemed to be frozen under her warm palm, "We are looking for you, and we are going to put makeup on and change your clothes for you to get married beautifully."
The woman in white had long hair covering her face, and only her eyes were exposed. She stared at Yu Niao indifferently, and slowly released her hold on Chen Yifei's hand.
In a few seconds, there was a red lantern in the hand, which nodded slightly towards the two of them.
Yu Niao quickly pulled Chen Yifei behind her and waited for the woman in white to take a few steps before following her.
Red lanterns illuminated the paper path, and only Yu Niao and Chen Yifei made any sound.
"Sorry to excuse you, there are more than just two of us bridesmaids. Can we find other bridesmaids to go with you?"
The woman in white suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at the speaker without squinting, tilted her head left and right several times, and waved her left hand.
Yu Niao and Chen Yifei opened their eyes, and their eyes were empty.
"It's over. I lost the guide I finally found."
Yu Niao blamed herself very much and raised her hand to pinch her mouth. Chen Yifei saw this and held her back, "Miss, you also want everyone to find a bride. Don't blame yourself."
"Let's go find the others."
The two of them passed by thirteen buildings, and something hung under the eaves of the first floor.
Swinging back and forth like a swinging red lantern.
Chen Yifei recognized it as her classmate.
"Don't go in!"
Yu Niao grabbed Chen Yifei's wrist with force and stared at the red paper building in front of her, shaking her head.
"Why, my classmate may still be alive. If we don't save her, she will really die. Please, help me and go in with me, okay?"
It seems that the two of them have a good relationship, and Yu Niao doesn't want to stop it. What if Chen Yifei ends up with the same fate as the female classmate?
"Look over there!"
Just below the female classmate is a bush of white roses, most of which have been dyed red with blood.
Chen Yifei insisted on going in. Yu Niao pulled her into the flower bed and pointed at Bai Yueji:
"This is the original color of flowers! I remember very clearly that your classmate was not among the girls who entered the community again. She failed in her search mission, and all you saw was a corpse.
Moreover, there is something wrong with this house, and something will happen when you get in."
Chen Yifei asked why, but Yu Niao couldn't answer.
…
Yu Niao even saw a ball of flesh in it, which looked like a tongue.
