Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 379

Lilly followed the ghost bride’s gaze and saw that she was looking at Bryson. She was stunned a little as she blurted out, “Who is your groom?”

The ghost bride continued to stare at Bryson as she murmured, “Who is my bridegroom…”

Josh felt creepy about this whole thing. A song from a long time ago sounded in his head, “Who is going to be my bridegroom? Don’t let me look around, don’t let me think about you all the time… Who is going to be my bridegroom? Oh~ I am going to be your bridegroom… Come back to me…”

Josh hit his head and stopped himself from thinking about some damn song!

That ghost bride continued her musings, “I don’t know, as long as you’re a man, you can be my groom.”

Her shrilling voice sounded even more terrifying than it already was in this vast and empty backyard.

Harem ghost stuck out its tongue, “Damn it, this woman is a player. She’s more of a player than me.”

Lilly had no choice but to ask another question, “Then, why did you die?”

The ghost bride said, “I don’t know… I was already dead when I found that I was dead.”

Everyone was put off by her answer. Her answer was redundant and did not provide any clue at all.

Lilly sighed. What should they do now? Could a hit from the sledgehammer help the ghost bride to remember?

When the ghost bride saw that Lilly was about to hit her, she protested, “Wait, I might remember something…”

The ghost bride tried to recall to the best of her abilities, “After our ceremony, my husband and I went into our room to spend our romantic night together, but he bumped into some candles accidentally…”

“While in the darkness, I tried to find my husband fearfully, and I heard the sound of something grinding against the floor as if someone was stacking up some things on the floor. Following that, my husband screamed out loudly.”

“By the time I opened my eyes again, I found myself hanging from the ceiling…”

The ghost bride was very resentful, and her voice was unnaturally soft yet chilling. Everyone began to feel creepy as they listened to her.

Josh tried to analyze the situation, “If the bridegroom was harmed in the dark, there must be evidence that points to it, whether he was getting devoured by some creature… There must be signs of blood or bones.”

Harem ghost added, “But the groom is nowhere to be found now. It must mean that the groom is the killer.”

Josh frowned, “Then, why would he scream in the dark?”

Harem ghost replied, “Could he do that on purpose? So that he can mislead others in their deduction.”

Josh asked, “That’s one of the possibilities… But the groom is not a beast. He should not be able to maul the bride like that.”

While he was deep in the conversation, it occurred to Josh that he was actually engaging in a discussion with a ghost. This very thought sent a shiver down his spine.

Harem ghost urged him on, “Go on, don’t stop giving suggestions.”

Josh was a little speechless.

The red dress ghost heard Josh and interjected meekly, “It’s not like that at all. My husband really screamed out in agony, it didn’t sound like he was just pretending…”

Everyone was befuddled.

Drake spoke to break the silence, “Let’s look for more clues.”

This was an escape room type of game. It must mean that they had to look for clues to get out of this place.

Drake understood the big picture now. Anthony must have cleared this whole place so that they could enjoy themselves. Indeed, there were no employees who acted as ghosts today, but instead, they encountered a real ghost, and somehow the ghost was related to this setup.

No matter what, since the ghost bride appeared in one of the scenes here, it must mean that something here had attracted her to come here. There must be something here that could lead them to solve the mystery.

Josh agreed, “Let’s go back to the scene!”

However, Drake disagreed, “Let’s scour through the backyard first.”

They had gone through the main room but they did not see anything. They had not searched the backyard yet, and if there really was someone here, he or she must be watching their every move.

Everyone agreed that they would start searching in the backyard.

They shared the same sentiment that someone was watching them while in hiding.

In order to prevent whatever or whoever was watching them from escaping, the ghosts from the jar of souls were tasked with watching the back door.

Lilly took out a red string. She tied one end to the ghost bride’s head while she tied the other end to the red dress.
