Chapter 2712: Chapter 2707: The Busy Bride

Sweet but not cloying, light but not dissipating.

Even with just a sip, it’s enough to feel the preciousness of the essential oil.

It’s a pity that in the animation transition state, even the efficiency of the fragrance entering the nostrils cannot be controlled, and it’s impossible to take a deep inhale.

Yet it’s still not a problem; just from this candle, you can tell it’s of high class.

In the blink of an eye, that beam of light already rapidly fills the vision.

And when everything becomes clear, the first thing Fu Qian sees are two bright yellow candles.

Pure and warm, surrounded by gold-traced ornaments, the fragrance emanates from them — also the only two sources of light in the space.

This place is evidently more private than the previous one, as if it’s a secret chamber unknown to anyone.

Indeed, Fu Qian does not believe he is now emerging from darkness into clarity; that body’s senses are restored.

On one hand, it’s been reduced to an immobile mannequin, so why bother running here for such, just toss it into a cabinet instead.

More importantly, those hands stretched out before him are clearly flesh creations, noticeably different from before.

Not just have the sleeves become much simpler, even the fingers are a bit withered, seeming older.

So not only am I watching the transition animation, but also haven’t locked onto a specific character, and the camera keeps changing?

It’s easy to conclude, Fu Qian marvels at the peculiarity of this experience.

No wonder they say to consult more with the seniors; although having been an administrator for some time, such experiences are still fresh.

Of course, a direct question follows: what is this second camera doing here?

...

These two candles, if lit outside on a joyous day, would undoubtedly still appear normal.

But in the depths of darkness, their interplay carries a slightly eerie taste, easily reminiscent of some cult-like rituals.

Including the person currently facing the candles, they even seem somewhat frightened.

Indeed, the hands stretched out are not preparing to drip a few dew drops on the candle wick, but instead seemed unable to resist extinguishing them, with fingers visibly trembling.

Besides, the flame is already close, yet the flesh seems entirely unaffected by burning.

Makes one curious what he might have seen while staring at the candle wick.

Unfortunately for Fu Qian, though theoretically sharing perception, he only has the most superficial visual scene.

Any subsequent psychic impacts or illusions seem entirely unperceivable, relying only on imagination.

Was this guy inadvertently intruding and got scared?

Thankfully, Fu Qian’s imagination is quite rich, quickly forming a hypothesis.

From the corner of his eye, he can see that this place is a rather small space, presumably underground.

Candles are located in one of the stone niches, surrounded by some vaguely visible tools, resembling a typical small altar.

Judging by the state of the person involved, even leaning sideways to peer inside, seems quite shocked by the scene.

So here comes the question: if this person accidentally intruded, who set up these things?

"What did you see?"

Seemingly in response to this question, a voice abruptly emerges from the darkness behind.

...

So is today’s trend this horror movie style?

Classics are classics, but shouldn’t we consider the psychological bearing capacity of the involved person?

Given that the second camera has been fixed forward, Fu Qian naturally can’t see behind.

And though the voice was gentle and calm, it still invited some criticism.

Anyone can immediately see that the person before the candle already had emotions brewing finely.

Pulling such a stunt now, even a weak-hearted person could potentially suffer a cardiac arrest.

Surely, one thing seems confirmable: the person speaking behind isn’t Old Master Ji Feng.

Aside from the obvious vocal difference, it even seemed like a female voice.

An unfamiliar, never-before-heard female voice, sounding as refreshing as the spring breeze, inviting natural curiosity about her appearance.

Ah—

The second camera did not disappoint, stiffening suddenly for three seconds, then sharply turning around.

Even the scream in his throat was forcibly suppressed.

Impressive.

Despite the limited action, the brief interaction really stirs imagination.

Fu Qian finds it amusing, while he unabashedly examines the newcomer.

Not the suspected impersonating groom Old Master Ji Feng — but the bride?

Hairnet, long dress, satin shawl, reflecting an exceedingly youthful face.

Delicate yet dignified features, clearly heavily embellished.

...

The protagonist of a bloodstained wedding? Executioner?

At the first sight of her attire, Fu Qian couldn’t help but feel surprise.

Everyone knows that on the day of marriage, especially for the bride, leisure is almost impossible.

Always surrounded by people, even when hurriedly visiting a restroom, assistance is often required.

Yet this one had the chance to run solo into the basement?

Judging by the manner, this small altar might be her creation.

It can only be said that the second person appearing, due to her attire being overly classic, even the common sense begins to conflict.

However, in this way, her ensuing fate does not seem purely innocent?

After all, such actions don’t appear to be from an ordinary woman.

Furthermore, one cannot help but criticize again the bizarre camera angle switching.

Clearly, the insight was into the Executioner’s eyes, yet it took until now to finally see, but still from a third-person perspective.

Even the second camera’s gulps from the throat indicate emotions too agitated to maintain communication.

"I understand, you saw nothing, correct?"

Fortunately, reassured, the "Executioner" doesn’t wait for his response, instead continues speaking herself.

Including the clear implication within her words, you better have seen nothing.

...

Is it really her doing?

What is so important that it deserves opening a secret place discreetly, even not staying low-profile on the wedding day?

Moreover, this appearance clearly is "realized of being noticed," and just prepared to handle it with simple few words?

As everyone knows, threats need material basis.

Even thinking with toes would understand, even temporarily feigning compliance, once freed from control, promises made are hard to bind.

"Yes... I didn’t see anything."

Not too unexpectedly, at a certain moment, the second camera took a deep breath and indeed repeated the "Executioner’s" statement.

"There are many people waiting outside, it’s best not to linger here too long."

Even immediately followed with advice like from the groom’s side, indicating a tight schedule on the wedding day.
