Chapter 274: The Coffin Lid Can’t Hold It Anymore

After observing the situation inside the sedan chair, Chu Jiang didn’t bother the sitting bride. After all, everyone was dead, saving her now would be useless. It was better to deal with this ghost first, and then talk about other things.

It’s strange that the Wedding Ghost ahead didn’t even react to getting on the sedan chair, which confused Chu Jiang for a moment. What is the killer’s pattern?

Crash into the team from the front? Get close within a certain distance?

And the other party kidnapped three young women in Langchao City, and it didn’t cause much panic, nor did it leave many clues. How did they manage to do that…

Exiting the sedan, Chu Jiang continued to follow the wedding procession.

On the top floor of Tianfeng Mansion, in the reception room, the host and guest sat facing each other.

If Chu Jiang were here, he would usually make tea for guests. Since he’s not here, his assistant Li Xiaolang will take care of it.

However, the guest didn’t drink tea. After saying what she had to say, she just gazed silently at the two people across from her.

Li Xiaolang had a bit of a headache. The two sides just finished a round of communication.

The woman’s general meaning is: she is Chu Jiang’s fiancée and wants to find him to fulfill their engagement. Where is Chu Jiang?

No matter how Li Xiaolang asked, the other person didn’t answer and remained silent.

If it was another Ghost Master, coming late at night without showing evidence and wanting to see the person in charge, Li Xiaolang would have already chased him away.

But Zhou Wenshan told him that this woman is very special and scary, so it’s best to avoid conflicts if possible.

Therefore, Li Xiaolang had to try to persuade her with kindness.

During this process, Zhou Wenshan, out of professional instinct, kept observing this woman.

In her mind, she made a personality portrait of the woman:

Not good with words, lacking social experience, confident, insecure. She must have grown up in a relatively closed environment.

Both confidence and insecurity can exist in the same person, of course.

This woman only showed a hint of uncertainty when mentioning Chu Jiang’s name; otherwise, she mostly gave the impression of being determined and unstoppable.

After trying to persuade her a few more times, and seeing that she remained indifferent, Li Xiaolang looked towards Zhou Wenshan.

The psychologist calmly sipped the coffee they had made themselves and said, "You should be used to giving reasons, and then others will do as you command."

"But this strategy won’t work with strangers, at least your reasons should be convincing first."

"In this way, you show me evidence, and I can help you make a call to Chu Jiang, and then you can answer."

"Either you wait downstairs for his return, even though he’s temporarily gone, he will come back sooner or later."

The woman in white nodded silently at the words, stood up, and walked out, apparently choosing the second option.

Zhou Wenshan let out a yawn when she saw this, "Sleep, sleep."

Seeing the woman about to leave, Li Xiaolang stood up in surprise. Only when the woman in white had walked far away did he catch up with Zhou Wenshan and asked, "Don’t you need to be cautious about the other party?"

Zhou Wenshan waved her hand, "Once people make a choice, they won’t go back on it. You can relax completely and sleep."

Seeing this, Li Xiaolang didn’t know what else to say.

……

When the woman in white returned to the first-floor lobby, Xu Shengtian was in the middle of a conversation with someone.

"I’m telling the truth, she claims to be the fiancée of the eldest brother. Hello? Hello??"

As soon as the phone call was hung up by his cousin, Xu Shengtian hadn’t even had time to feel upset when he received a call from Miss Chen, the accountant.

Xu Shengtian intentionally avoided the woman. He quietly moved to the side and started chatting with Chen Keai.

However, after just a couple of sentences, the woman in white silently approached. She stood to the side, listening attentively to their conversation, making Xu Shengtian feel very embarrassed.

"Why don’t you two talk?" he said as he handed his phone to the woman.

Without hesitation, the woman took the phone and asked, "Hello, do you know Chu Jiang?"

At this moment, Chen Keai was curled up in her own blanket. Upon hearing this clean and crisp female voice, she felt a bit confused. It couldn’t be that nonsense made up by that Xu guy, right??

……

While two women were "having a deep conversation about life", Chu Jiang encountered a big problem.

The wedding procession turned around on the hilltop several times but couldn’t find the target. They randomly chose a direction and continued walking downhill.

What’s more, this time they were incredibly lucky and ended up facing Zhang Dafu and his group.

Chu Jiang, who had been following them all along, hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to hurry to the tomb first.

Even though there were risks involved, it was necessary to collect the coffin first. Otherwise, if the Wedding Ghost and Ghost Bride encountered each other, Chu Jiang couldn’t predict what would happen.

At this moment, Zhang Dafu and his group stood nervously next to the tomb, feeling a bit scared.

Because they had all seen that group of ghosts. It was fine when they went around them earlier, but now they were charging straight towards them. Who could handle that? They wanted to escape but didn’t know where to go at that moment.

As soon as Chu Jiang came back, he didn’t have time to greet them. He just jumped into the tomb directly, prepared to collect the wedding coffin.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a dull sound from inside the coffin, as if something was banging against the coffin lid.

Moreover, the four Protective Talismans that Chu Jiang had stuck on earlier were starting to spontaneously ignite without any fire. In less than a breath, they turned into ashes and disappeared.

This was the first time Chu Jiang had seen such a situation. Even the Protective Talismans couldn’t control it??

So there are only two possibilities: either the ghost inside has already revived and has the ability to resist, making the sealing power of the Protective Talismans weak against a lively ghost.

The other possibility is that the danger level of the ghost inside is too high, and the Protective Talismans are not enough to control it. A stronger sealing method is needed.

Regardless of which possibility it is, the current situation is very dangerous. If Chu Jiang rashly puts the coffin into his left hand space, he is likely to be attacked from within.

In a critical situation, Chu Jiang shouted, "Run! Avoid this place first, don’t enter the ghost mist by yourself."

Zhang Dafu was startled and quickly responded loudly, leading the way to the other side of the mountain, trying to detour and hide at the top of the mountain.

With this leader, the other panicked people immediately followed.

Suddenly, Chu Jiang hugged the coffin with both hands and exerted all his strength! The heavy coffin that seemed almost fused with the underground was lifted up by him, and then thrown out of the tomb.

As Chu Jiang threw it, he realized that there was actually an iron chain at the bottom of the coffin??

One end of the chain was attached to the bottom of the coffin, while the other end plunged deep into the ground. As a result, the coffin was not thrown far by him and was stopped by the chain, falling to the ground with a loud thud.

This seemed to catch the attention of the wedding procession. The leading Wedding Ghost suddenly accelerated, and the dense black mist swept over like a wave…
