Chapter 156 Come play! Ah! Hahaha!

That familiar stench of pig manure instantly awakened terrifying memories!

"Ghosts!"

Ma Guifen let out a piercing scream, flung the pig manure from her hands, and scrambled on all fours toward the grave mound, where she clutched Old Man Ma’s tombstone for dear life.

"Ah! Father! Save me! Guifen is so scared!"

Wang Youcai and his son Wang Defa were also frightened completely pale, their backs freezing as cold sweat soaked their clothes.

After calming down, the two men, still unwilling to accept their loss, pried open every single box.

In the end, their total harvest was a full twelve boxes of pig manure!

At this moment, Wang Defa, seemingly frightened to the point of numbness, stood up and began cursing wildly into the thick night curtain.

"Ah! Get out here, you bastard! Come out! Give my little yellow croakers back to me!
Ah! Damn ghost! Get out here! Give me back my little yellow croakers!!
Get out here right now!! Sob, sob, sob!"

Wang Youcai’s lips trembled as he tried to tell his son to stop shouting, but he was too terrified to make a sound.

Ma Guifen gripped her father’s tombstone even tighter, not daring to let go, while continuously praying to her dead father’s spirit to protect her.

Just as Wang Defa finished venting and collapsed weakly to his knees, a soft giggle echoed through the silent night.

"Ah! Ha-ha~~~ Ah! Ha-ha-ha~~~~"

The laughter was so shrill that it made the three of them feel a sharp pain in their eardrums, drifting from afar and drawing closer, sounding exceptionally terrifying in the pitch-black graveyard!

Swish, swish, swish!

The hairs on the bodies of the three people standing on the ground instantly stood on end, their eyes wide open, too terrified to even move!

After waiting for a moment with no further sounds, Wang Defa let out a breath and looked at his father with a pale face.

"Father, just now... there wasn't any sound at all, right?"

Wang Youcai was just about to nod when a voice exploded right beside their ears!

"How ungrateful! Just a moment ago you were screaming for someone to come out, and now that someone has appeared, why don't you believe it?"

This time, the three of them heard it clearly. It was a sharp female voice, so abrasive it sounded like fingernails dragging across a wooden door, raising goosebumps layer upon layer over their bodies.

Wang Defa swallowed hard and trembled as he asked, "Who are you? Show yourself! Stop playing god and conjuring ghosts! I have a gun, I'm not afraid of you!"

With that, he raised the gun in his hand and scanned his surroundings vigilantly.

"Alright then, I’ll come out and meet you face-to-face! But remember, once you see me, you’ll have to come away with me, okay?
Ah! Ha-ha~~~
Ah! Ha-ha-ha~~~"

Another spine-chilling burst of laughter echoed.

In the dim graveyard, a shadowy figure appeared not far from the three of them.

Seeing that a figure had truly materialized, Wang Defa was so frightened he opened fire immediately!

Bang, bang, bang!!

After a barrage of gunfire, the figure vanished!

Emptying the magazine, Wang Defa breathed heavily in terror, holding his gun aloft without daring to move an inch.

Holding a mannequin in her arms, Ming Dai was also catching her breath inside her spatial dimension.

That bastard really dared to shoot!

He still wasn't scared enough!

Quietly stepping out of her space, she hid beneath another tombstone, glanced at the figure not far ahead, and discreetly pressed play on the recorder.

The singing she had recorded in advance began to play.

"The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, an auspicious day, the red sedan chair is lifted..."

Accompanied by the mournful wailing of the mountain wind sweeping through the trees, the atmosphere was pitch-perfect!

At the same time, an ice-cold hand rested gently on Wang Defa's shoulder.

Wang Defa’s entire body shook violently. As he slowly turned his head, all he could make out was a section of bright red sleeve and a hand so white it looked bruised!

"Ah!! There's a ghost!!!!"

At this point, he completely lost control. Throwing his gun aside, he dropped to all fours and crawled forward at top speed, howling as he went!

Suppressing her excitement, Ming Dai provided the voiceover: "Little brother, didn't you shout for me to come out?
I'm here! Don't run away!"

Hearing her speak, Wang Defa howled even louder, crawling frantically with hands and feet, completely forgetting about his own parents!

While he had only seen a "ghost hand" and was scared out of his wits like a stray dog, Wang Youcai and Ma Guifen nearby actually witnessed the sudden appearance of a ghostly figure!

Both of them were paralyzed with terror.

In the pitch-black graveyard, the air still lingered with the peculiar scent of recently burned ghost money.

A figure clad in a red bridal gown hovered eerily ahead.

Beneath a half-lifted red veil rested a blood-dripping floral crown. On her ghostly pale face, two trails of bloody tears were faintly visible, complemented by the intermittent singing—she was undoubtedly a vengeful ghost bride seeking a life!!

This ghost bride was none other than Zhou Sinian, wearing special effects makeup applied by Ming Dai!

Perhaps because they were too terrified, the two of them blankly stared at Zhou Sinian for a moment, their eyes unfocused, hovering on the verge of fainting without actually having the sense to turn and run.

That made things a bit awkward!

Remembering Ming Dai’s instructions, Zhou Sinian flicked his finger and switched on the flashlight hanging from his chest.

A beam of white light shone directly onto his face. He obediently opened his mouth, revealing sharp fangs and a mouth full of fresh blood (edible fruit syrup), and hopped toward the two of them like a hopping vampire.

Ming Dai timed her voiceover perfectly: "Come play with us! Ah! Ha-ha-ha! Come play!"

This time, the two of them sprang into action!

Ma Guifen let out a blood-curdling shriek and bolted, completely forgetting to let go of her father’s tombstone; in her panic, she actually uprooted the tombstone and carried it on her back as she ran!!

Hiding in the shadows, Ming Dai watched with her jaw dropped so wide she forgot her voice acting!

Turns out, when driven to utter despair, humans really can unleash immense potential!!!

Incredible!

Too terrified to look at the red figure hopping toward him, Wang Youcai made a strange gurgling sound in his throat, his entire body stiff as a board.

Ultimately, he fled forward by tripping his left foot over his right.

He would take two steps and tumble to the ground; if Zhou Sinian hadn’t slowed his pace to wait for him, he wouldn't have been able to escape at all!

Seeing the two of them bolting in the direction of Wang Defa, Ming Dai emerged from behind the tombstone, commanded the boxes on the ground to levitate, and chased after the fleeing trio.

Swoosh! A torrential downpour of pig manure rained down from the sky!

The shrill female voice continued to echo.

"Ah! Ha-ha-ha~~~, don't leave! Stay and play with me!!
Ah! Ha-ha-ha~~~~"

The three of them completely lost their minds, howling as they sprinted forward. Too panicked to spit out the pig manure that had flown into their mouths, they scrambled wildly down the mountain, their wails echoing across the entire Rooster Crowing Mountain!

For a time, Rooster Crowing Mountain was exceptionally lively!

Ming Dai and Zhou Sinian trailed behind them, nearly dying of laughter!

Watching the three retreating figures vanish into the distance, along with the torches lighting up at the foot of the mountain, Ming Dai swiftly retrieved the empty boxes and the fallen gun, then followed Zhou Sinian down the mountain via an alternate path.

Reaching the base of the mountain, Ming Dai brought Zhou Sinian into her spatial dimension.

Once inside, the two of them could no longer contain themselves and burst into simultaneous, uncontrollable laughter. Ming Dai even clutched her stomach, groaning that it hurt from laughing so hard!

It wasn't until Zhou Sinian complained that his clothes and the artificial blood syrup felt uncomfortable and begged Ming Dai to help him take off his makeup that she finally calmed down.

While removing the makeup, Zhou Sinian picked up his red floral crown—which bore a striking resemblance to a sky-high garden hat—and said, "Ming Dai, let's do this again next time!"

Ming Dai looked at the hat in his hand and nodded in agreement. She had finally found the correct use for this apocalyptic-level ugly hat!

It was simply perfect as a floral crown for a ghost bride! Red enough, and eerie enough!

Having laughed to their heart's content, the pair returned to the educated youth dormitories in high spirits.
