Chapter 1870: The Past of Yu Lan

"Impossible, you have already married me. Your parents sold you to me, and you are my wife now. Whether you accept it or not, this has already become a fact." The man said angrily, "Now accompany me to the bridal chamber; I am going to sleep with you."

He reached out and grabbed the woman, dragging her by her hair. The woman screamed and struggled desperately. She was tackled to the ground, and the man tore at her clothes, thrusting his disgusting mouth forward to gnaw on her.

The woman cried out and struggled. Her hand suddenly grabbed a bottle. She picked up the bottle and swung it with all her might, smashing it heavily against the man's head.

With a crash, the bottle shattered, and the man let her go in pain.

The woman stood up and turned to run outside, but the angry man grabbed her hair, dragged her back to the ground, and then hauled her toward another room.

"I'll let you run, I'll let you hit me! If you are heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Since you've become the wife of me, Zhou Shen, you still want to run? Don't even think about it!" The man roared, forcibly dragging the woman to a remote woodshed.

He opened a lid in the ground and dragged the woman into the basement.

The basement was lit by a dim, yellow light, and in the corner, there were shockingly three corpses.

These corpses were all girls; their bodies had already rotted, and some had even turned into white bones.

Several girls were either lying on the ground with their heads smashed by blunt objects or hanging from the beams. In the dim light, the several corpses appeared extremely terrifying.

"Do you see? These are all my previous wives. They all wanted to leave me. I begged them bitterly not to go, saying I would be good to them, but none of them stayed." Zhou Shen pointed at the corpses and roared angrily, "They even wanted to run away. I had no choice; I didn't want to let them leave, so I had no choice but to kill them."

"Do you want to be like them too? Do you want to die? If you don't want to die, then stay obediently and be my wife." The man grabbed the woman's hair and roared angrily.

"Don't, don't kill me. I'll be obedient, I'll listen to you, I won't run anymore." The woman screamed in terror. She was afraid because she realized that the man was a pervert; if she didn't follow his words, he was truly capable of doing anything.

"Is what you said true? You won't leave? You want to stay and be my wife?" Zhou Shen let go of her hair and asked, both surprised and delighted.

"Yes, I... I won't leave. Please don't hurt me, I will listen to you in everything." The woman's face was filled with fear; she was truly terrified.

"Wife, then let's go back to the room to consummate the marriage." The man suddenly became unusually gentle.

The woman had no choice; she could only nod lightly.

The man pulled her along as they walked. When they reached the entrance, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He muttered, "No... that's not right..."

"Wh... what is not right?" The woman looked at the man in terror; she did not know what else the man wanted to do.

She had already seen clearly that this man had mental problems; heaven knows what he would do.

"You have already seen the dead people. You will report it to the police, the police will come to arrest me, and then I will be executed. You vicious woman, I am your husband!" Zhou Shen suddenly roared, as if he had been betrayed.

"I won't, I didn't see anything, I won't say anything to anyone." The woman retreated in fear.

"You will! You women are all the same, all liars. You promise things nicely, but you'll turn around and sell me out. I cannot let you go out, otherwise, the one who dies will be me!" Zhou Shen roared in a rage. He lunged forward and reached out to choke the woman's neck.

The woman was choked to the ground. She struggled desperately, but she was no match for a strong man.

Her struggles gradually weakened, and her limbs went stiff. Finally, she lay on the ground, motionless.

The man suddenly let go of the woman, but the woman had already stopped breathing.

"Dead, another one dead. It's not my fault, it's all your fault." Zhou Shen muttered, "It's because you didn't listen. If you had obediently listened, you wouldn't have died... It's not my fault, this really isn't my fault."

"But I spent so much money to marry you, and I didn't even get to touch you, and you're gone? No, this won't do." Zhou Shen tore off the woman's clothes and then pressed himself on top of her...

The scene ended abruptly here. It is unknown how much time passed, but the man disappeared, and someone accidentally broke into the cellar, discovered the corpses, and reported it to the police.

Immediately after, the police came to remove the corpses, and the medical examiner performed an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

This place underwent great changes over the years, with winters and summers passing. It is unknown how many years went by until a wealthy man bought this land and built a villa. That wealthy man was none other than Shen Pangzi...

The scene disappeared here. Inside the room, there were gusts of eerie wind, as if a cold breeze was constantly drilling into your neck.

Tang Yi could not help but shrink his neck. The cold in this place was somewhat abnormal; this kind of cold seemed to be able to penetrate into your very bones.

"Master, is this her experience before she died?" Tang Yi asked.

"It should be. There is no mistake. To be ravaged by an ugly man even after death, and to have been unable to take revenge for so many years after dying, her resentment is naturally very heavy." Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"Then what should we do? Is there a way to help her?" Tang Yi sighed and said, "She is truly a pitiful person."

"Let's find her first. This place is now her Domain. You must be very careful. If you fall into her trap, it will be a very troublesome matter." Chen Yu said.

"Yes." Tang Yi nodded. He braced himself and walked forward with Chen Yu.

Now this Domain was a reconstruction of the place where the woman died. It was a courtyard in a rural village in the Northeast, dilapidated and ruined. Chen Yu saw the woman's name on the marriage certificate on the table; her name was Yu Lan.

In the bridal chamber, Chen Yu searched for her figure, because she would definitely be hiding here, waiting for someone to enter.

Suddenly, a chilling, bone-piercing aura came from behind. Chen Yu turned his head and saw a patch of ghostly green light emerge, followed by the pale-green-faced Yu Lan drifting in.

Her rolled-back pupils had no black in them at all, and the Yin energy on her face was even more sinister and terrifying.

Evil spirits harm people mostly by using the person's fear. The more you fear, the stronger her attack power becomes. Furthermore, if you are afraid to your very bones, the illusions here will become reality.

Yu Lan slowly raised her head, her disheveled hair swaying as she sized Chen Yu up, because the aura on Chen Yu was far too vast.

"Yu Lan, it has been so many years, it is time to let go. The person you are haunting now is not your enemy; the person who truly killed you has long since died. Let go." Chen Yu said slowly.
