Chen Miao stood at the entrance of the cetery and did not approach imdiately, thinking it best to keep his distance until the intentions of these people were clear.
At that mont—
The Hungry Monkey in the cetery also noticed Chen Miao and strode over to him. Without waiting for Chen Miao to speak, it expressed its helplessness first, "There's a bit of trouble. Do you rember the young couple who ran here to hide?"
"Couple?"
Chen Miao's brow furrowed slightly and he pondered for a while before responding, "You're talking about that guy who claid to be the boss of the Monkey Head Mushroom gang? That's how he introduced himself, right?"
If he rembered correctly, there indeed was such a couple.
A few days ago, they put on quite a show in a restaurant with a wedding disruption and then hid in his cetery. He hadn't paid much attention to it at the ti, as a major event was about to unfold, and he had no mind to care for these matters.
Now it seed sothing had gone awry.
"Mhm."
The Hungry Monkey nodded, took out two cigarettes, offered one to Chen Miao, and sighed with so resignation, "Right after you left, Miao, the main guy from the disrupted wedding sohow got the news and brought people looking for us."
"He treated us pretty well, handing out cigarettes and bowing and everything."
"We didn't reply much, just said that the boss wasn't around, we'll discuss it when he gets back. Although we're not close with these two individuals, since they've taken refuge here, I think whether they live or die, at the very least, it should be up to you, Miao, to decide."
"That guy had guts, imdiately shielding the girl behind himself, ready to face a thousand troops alone."
"And then..."
"The drama unfolded—the leading lady herself stepped out from behind the man, saying a lot of sincere words, thanking him for liking her, admitting she was touched by his feelings, but the recent events had made her realize a lot. She believed that what she felt for him might not be true love, but rather a fleeting emotional wave arisen from encountering soone daring and bold in an otherwise superior environnt."
"Maybe, my family status allows not to struggle."
"You're a good person, thank you for the ti you spent with , but now I must leave."
As it got to this point,
The Hungry Monkey's expression grew complex as it said, "This lovelorn man was tough; perhaps he was deeply moved by the true feelings of this Monkey Head Mushroom. After being silent for a long while, he said that actually, he didn't mind the three of them living together, but the other man could only accompany her, not sleep with her, and asked if Monkey Head Mushroom was willing to accept that."
"And the girl did not speak, just stood behind the leading man, tugging at his sleeve as if to agree."
"The situation had developed so much that I thought it was bloody enough. If a TV show dared to air this, it definitely wouldn't get any ratings."
"But perhaps Monkey Head Mushroom couldn't stand such humiliation. Seeing the woman he loved willingly stand behind another man, he smirked tragically and pulled out a knife, stabbing it into his own throat."
"He died on the spot."
"Then the lady, unclear whether she loved him or not, suddenly broke down, began to speak incoherently, saying 'sorry, sorry, I, I' and such, before throwing herself onto Monkey Head Mushroom's corpse and bursting into tears. After crying for a few seconds, she also grabbed a dagger and plunged it into her own throat."
"She committed suicide on the spot."
"It didn't end there; the disrupted wedding's main guy, seemingly genuinely moved, was unable to accept it all at that mont, picked up the dagger, and stabbed himself to death."
"As for the followers that he brought along, there was a younger sister who had always secretly loved the main guy. Seeing her brother pass away like that, she too collapsed emotionally and drew the sa dagger to end her own life."
"Up until now, four people have used this dagger to commit suicide, and this all happened in an instant."
The Hungry Monkey disregarded Chen Miao's increasingly bewildered expression and, with a complex look, licked its dry lips, continuing, "Truth be told, we were standing by watching the whole thing in shock, completely unable to react."
"But before I could react,"
"this girl who committed suicide seed to have a secret admirer or sothing. Anyway, a man in the crowd had an emotional breakdown and also picked up the dagger to kill himself, then the girl's parents arrived at the scene, and upon seeing their daughter and son-in-law both dead, they too picked up the dagger and committed suicide together."
"In the end, a total of 18 people died by that dagger."
"All of them chose suicide, and they all stabbed themselves in the throat."
"Those people making noise at the entrance of the cetery now are the relatives of the deceased and other people brought by the groom. When we realized sothing was off, we had already notified Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen has arrived with his team, sealed the scene, and stopped more people from entering. They're communicating with each other right now."
"Seeing how they would deal with this situation."
"Miao, don't you also think this is pretty lodramatic?"
"..."
Chen Miao was dumbfounded for quite a while with his mouth agape, only snapping back to reality when the almost burnt-out cigarette butt scorched his lips. He slapped Hungry Monkey on the head, "lodramatic my ass, are you fucking fearless or what?"
"We've obviously run into sothing unclean here!"
"Do you understand supernatural occurrences at all?"
"Damn!"
He couldn't help but look up at the sun above his head, "Are ghosts getting too arrogant these days? To pull this off in broad daylight? Can anyone even stay in this cetery at night anymore? Did you guys make too big a fuss in the cetery, stirring up unrest among the spirits below?"
When one person commits suicide with a dagger, he can only lant the fragility of life.
When two people die in a lovers' suicide with the dagger, he marvels at the undying pure love.
When eighteen people die by the sa dagger, he now wants to find a Taoist priest to perform a ritual; this shit has already gone beyond sinister!
He wondered if being a Taoist priest was considered a Lifestyle Occupation; it couldn't possibly be a Supernatural Occupation that ca with a dog.
"Uh..."
Hungry Monkey froze for a second before scratching the back of his head, "That makes sense. I didn't even think in that direction just now; after all, those people looked conscious, not at all like they were possessed by ghosts."
Chen Miao didn't say anything but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he involuntarily stepped back a few paces.
He was already considering whether to stay in a hotel in the city tonight.
He was strong, no doubt about that!
The Thompson Submachine Gun with a staggering 20,000 bullets, abilities like Bullet Tornado and Pierce the Sky with One Shot, gave him imnse offensive capabilities.
But that didn't an he had any counterasures against intangible entities. Stay tuned for updates on m-v -
At that mont—
Zhou Shen, in uniform, squeezed through the crowd and walked over to Chen Miao with a rather unpleasant look on his face. He took out a cigarette and passed it to Chen Miao, lowering his voice, "Miao, there's so trouble. The Enforcent Bureau doesn't have the authority to handle this, it might have to be transferred to the Events Bureau."
"Just finished one."
Chen Miao waved his hand to decline the cigarette.
