Whispering Verse

Next, Shade and Oxenfurt did not act together with Prince William. The prince's purpose of coming to attend this lively banquet had been achieved, so he left early on the pretext of attending an important meeting tomorrow.

Shade watched as Oxenfurt and the groom, Mr. Enriquez, put the royal heir into the carriage at the gate of the manor. Then they parted ways with the groom, Mr. Henriquez. The burly man motioned for Shade to follow him.

Entering the interior of the building along the stone path on the central axis of the courtyard, in the banquet hall on the second floor, I happened to see the bride, Miss Mason, or Mrs. Enriquez, walking from the side door of the banquet hall to the remote corridor of the mansion.

"Follow her."

Stone Oxenfurt said, as if he had known this lady was here.

At this time, most of the guests were outside. There were only a few people in the banquet hall, and the corridor was even deserted. Shade and Oxenfurt both slowed down, and then heard the bride, Miss Mason, talking to someone on the other side of the corridor, and she was a little excited:

"I'm married! Yes, today is the wedding!"

Just by saying this, Shade had already thought of many stories, but he didn't think that Oxenfurt specifically asked him to come with him just to see this kind of thing.

The two of them peeked out from around the corner, and Shade raised his eyebrows. The person talking to Miss Mason was not a human being at all, but a transparent spirit. He looked to be a young man in his twenties, about the same height as Shade, but a little thin.

The color of the spirit body is normal, and it is not very strong in terms of solidification. It is only because of obsession and strong emotions that it does not leave after death.

[There is some kind of malicious power in the soul, but it is too far away to be determined. 】

"She" reminded softly.

Normal souls cannot be seen by normal people. And since the bride can see it, it means that this soul has a lot to do with her.

"Is this the soul you want me to see?"

Shade asked quietly to Stone Oxenfurt, but Miss Mason, who was so excited, didn't even notice that there was someone in the corner.

Sure enough, Stone Oxenfurt can also see the soul. This is not a very special ability. An ordinary person, Princess Agelina Cavendish, can also see some souls now. Otherwise, there have been so many ghost rumors from ancient times to the present. , it all becomes false.

"Since I came to this manor, I have discovered that this soul is haunting Maggie Mason. There will be a good show."

Oxenfurt said, while the conversation continued on the other side.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Miss Mason's tone was already a bit hysterical. Unfortunately, the communication between the soul and her was not through vibrating air to form sound, so Shade didn't know what the man's soul was expressing.

"I can't let you do this. I'm already married. Yes, today is my wedding. And you are dead. Leave. I'm sorry, but it's really impossible."

Miss Mason was still arguing fiercely. This lady's appearance was already very good, and today's bridal outfit made her the most beautiful woman present, but her excited expression at this time made her makeup look extraordinarily beautiful. strangeness.

The soul ignored her, turned and moved towards the wall, and then went directly through the wall to the courtyard of the manor.

"Oh, God!"

The bride, Miss Mason, immediately caught up with her skirt. Of course, she couldn't go through the wall, nor could she climb through the window wearing her skirt at her wedding. So she ran to the other side of the corridor, trying to enter the garden directly from the back door of the house. .

Shade and Oxenfurt also followed. Miss Mason's luck was pretty good. Although her panicked behavior of running into the courtyard made the guests a little confused, she still quickly found the man's soul.

At this time the spirit is approaching the groom, Mr. Henriquez, who is talking to his guests, but the latter shows no reaction to the appearance of the undead.

The soul, which was not powerful but definitely not weak, looked at him quietly, while Miss Mason was entangled by a group of ladies who suddenly appeared and could not get close for the time being.

Suddenly, an old lady holding a white-haired poodle passed by, so Soul walked towards the dog, and then suddenly made a threatening look.

"Woof woof woof!"

The barking was not very loud, but the dog's eyes were a little red. It broke free of the rope around its neck, jumped onto the table next to it, opened its mouth and bit the groom's neck.

But luckily the dog was just a puppy, and although people were startled, Mr. Enriquez ducked down to avoid the attack. Then the servants hurriedly subdued the crazy puppy and temporarily calmed down the small commotion.

The bride, Miss Mason, was already in a hurry. She squeezed out from the ladies around her and walked quickly towards her husband. At this time, the soul floated to the side of the ladder. The servant on the ladder was trimming the tangled ribbons hanging on the tree.

The spirit made a push gesture, and two seconds later, the ladder fell towards the groom without any warning. Amid people's panicked cries, the five or six friends around the groom not only did not run away, but helped hold the ladder together.

With so many people sharing the pressure, no one was hurt. It was just that the servant who was originally on the ladder was so frightened that he apologized to the manor owner repeatedly, and the groom was too generous to care about his mistake. Instead, he was concerned about whether he was injured.

Miss Mason finally came over at this time, and when she and her husband stood together, the undead did not attack again, otherwise Miss Mason might be accidentally injured.

But despite this, the undead themselves have still undergone some changes. His own malice will cause his soul to show different states, and he will try to hurt others many times, adding a strange green color to his originally normal spirit body. This is a typical precursor to evil spirit transformation, and once this process is started, it is basically irreversible.

However, this sign of becoming an evil spirit also allowed Shade to see something more. This soul had already been contaminated, and his degeneration was inevitable.

Of all the people present, except Shade and Stone Oxenfurt, only the bride, Miss Mason, could see the strange change in the soul. She didn't have Shade's knowledge, but she could at least sense that something was wrong. Her exquisite makeup showed a panicked expression. She nervously grabbed her husband's arm, and then excused herself to feel unwell and returned to the mansion with the groom.

As for the soul, of course it still follows them.

"Is this what you asked me to see?"

Shade and Stone Oxenfurt stood in the crowd, watching the two men and one ghost leave along the garden path. Oxenfurt asked Shade:

"Would you like to make a bet with me on what the ending of this story will be?"

Shade shook his head:

"You said it yourself, you can always win. Although I have defeated you three times, I don't want to risk increasing my losses by betting again. Besides, what I hate most is gambling."

Thinking of Shade's superb Rhodes card skills and superb card shuffling techniques, Oxenfurt showed a sarcastic smile on his face, but at least he did not laugh out loud:

"I think you should know the illusion of invisibility, so please cast the illusion for us."

The groom, Mr. Henriquez, helped his wife, who claimed to be dizzy, back to the mansion. He met many guests who greeted and congratulated them on the way, but he did not stop and sent his wife directly back to the master bedroom on the third floor.

This room was also decorated to celebrate the wedding. Although the manor was old, the entire room had been renovated, and a photo of the two of them was placed on the bedside table.

Miss Mason was helped to bed, and Mr. Enriquez had his servants bring hot tea. But this banquet must have a host present, so he also thought of going downstairs to entertain the guests. But knowing that there was an evil soul staring at Mr. Henriquez, Miss Mason did not dare to let her husband leave alone at this time, so she covered her forehead and said with a slight panic:

"Can you stay with me for a while? I'm still a little dizzy."

"Of course. Is the cold wind tonight too biting? Oh, it's all my fault. I shouldn't insist on opening outdoor venues."

Mr. Enriquez said with concern and sat on the edge of the bed. Upon seeing this, the servants withdrew. Of course, the room that seemed to only contain two people was actually occupied by four people and a ghost. Mr. Shade and Oxenfurt had already entered the room at this time and were standing at the door looking at them.

The couple, who were completely unaware of this, held each other's hands, and Mr. Enriquez smiled softly:

"We finally got married. After so many things, we finally came to this day. We will go a long way together in the future."

He kissed his wife on the forehead, which made Miss Mason even more nervous. The wandering undead became more and more restless because of Enriquez's actions.

Miss Mason obviously wanted to remind her husband not to do such an intimate thing now, but she didn't know how to say it. Enriquez obviously misunderstood his wife's meaning, so he gently hugged her and tried to kiss her further, but was pushed away by the even more panicked Miss Mason:

"Oh, sorry, I'm not feeling well."

She lowered her head and said, but Mr. Enriquez didn't care, but took the initiative to express his apology. He asked Miss Mason to lie down on the bed, then held her hand, and began to think about life after marriage:

"We will live in this manor for many years to come. Maybe after the wedding, we will need to completely renovate the house."

"Just do what you want."

Miss Mason watched the undead nervously from the corner of her eye.

"Especially the other rooms on the third floor. If we have children in the future, we will need to prepare separate baby rooms and mother-infant rooms. Oh, and there is also a smoking room. If you have children, you can't smoke casually in the house."

Mr. Enriquez seems to have already seen those bright futures:

"How many nurseries should we decorate first? Maggie, I plan to have two children, preferably a boy and a girl. Of course, this cannot be forced, God will bless us according to destiny. What about you? How many do you like? A child?"

The undead was becoming more and more unstable because of these words. Miss Mason swallowed and clutched the quilt with white knuckles. It seems that he is watching the curtains of the four-poster bed swaying for some reason, but in fact he is watching the undead undergo further changes:

"I have a headache and I don't want to discuss it right now."

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot again. During the wedding in the afternoon, I promised to take care of you for the rest of my life."

Mr. Enriquez said kindly, looking at his wife with tender eyes.
