The brightly lit cinema room was isolated from the outside world.

There was no staff, no audience, not even a curtain on the screen in front of them.

If it weren’t for the bright lights, such an environment would almost be suffocating.

“What’s all this noise for?” A bearded man asked from his seat. His expression was as if he was suffering from a headache and he couldn’t help but rub his temples, “Wanna see the wrath of a person suffering from a hangover?”

“And aren’t you guys forgetting the most important thing?” The hungover man looked around with narrowed little eyes, “Why are we here? And who are you guys?”

“You’re already drunk, of course you don’t remember anything.” The career woman sneered and took the small expensive looking handbag straight away, and after a glance at Su Qingxing who was sitting on the outermost side of the room, she turned around and left.

“I’m leaving too.” The man in the denim suit had a mild expression, but he similarly didn’t care about the words of the handsome teenager and the hungover man, “Sorry, I still have to teach my students.”

The studio was not very large and the two people soon made their way to the door of the studio, pulling on the handle and trying to open the heavy door.

But no matter how hard they pushed and pulled, the exit door of the studio didn’t budge.

“Open the door! Is anybody there?!” The career woman finally noticed that something was wrong and kicked the door with the thin heel of her shoes, which could be considered as quite a fierce weapon, but the door in front of her remained unmoving, “What is wrong with your theatre?! I want to see your manager, I want to file a complaint against you!

“Move away, I’ll try banging on the door!” The usual smile on the denim clad man’s face finally disappeared, he took a few steps backwards, saw the career woman side-stepping out of the way, took a deep breath and slammed into it with an “ahhhhhhh”!

“BOOM!”

The door to the studio in front of him remained unmoved.

“What is this?” The man in the denim suit slammed the door several times in succession before finally coming to a gasping halt, “A TV prank? Are there already cameras on us at this point, watching us make a fool of ourselves?”

“Is there anybody?!” Career woman shouted into the small window of the film screening, but apart from the echo of the studio, no response could be heard at all.

“Take a break.” The hungover man lay back bonelessly on the theatre seats like a puddle, “Anyway, I guess one of you won’t be making any money today, and one of you won’t be teaching, understand?”

Hearing the hungover man deliberately use her own words to talk back to her, the career woman was so angry that her face turned red and she took off her high heels and threw them straight at the hungover man’s head!

“I’m already upset enough, help us escape if you can, otherwise don’t bleep if you can’t!” The career woman said, taking another phone out of her small bag and opening the screen to look at it, “There’s no signal, what kind of shit theatre is this.”

“I think there’s a chance this little guy knows something.” The hungover man reached over and threw the woman’s shoe back, “Didn’t he just say he’d seen this horror movie? Maybe he’s the only one of us who knows something about it.”

“Hey, my shoes are very expensive! Who gave you permission to just throw them around!” The woman scowled as if she was ready to walk over and just punch the other guy in the face.

“Then baby, just don’t throw them over! Beeaauty!” The hungover man yelled back impatiently, purposely stretching that last slightly flirtatious epithet.

Su Qingxing had been sitting quietly on the side seat, carefully surveying the four people other than him.

To Su Qingxing’s surprise, there did not seem to be a senior trialist among the four, and they were either confused or seemed to have a vague understanding of the current situation.

Without the overbearing presence of the senior trialists at the beginning, and being in a seemingly normal environment, Su Qingxing felt that this time, his job might be easier than before.

“Kid, what exactly is this horror film about?” The hungover man struggled to keep his eyes open, though his eyes were already small, “That’s probably the only information we know right now, so just tell us.”

“Well!” The pretty teenager’s expression looked particularly excited, “That movie was actually really good, about the heroine who went to the movie premiere of Bride of Death, only to find that the originally full theater suddenly became silent, and the vast majority of the audience instantly disappeared, leaving only five people in the theater……”

Just as the teenager finished his words, everyone fell silent.

The career woman couldn’t help but hug her arms, as if she suddenly felt that the air conditioning in the cinema hall had turned very cold, and shivered slightly.

Even the hungover man’s eyes widened to their maximum.

If what the teenager said was true, then wouldn’t the plot of that movie he was talking about be very, very similar to their current situation?

The premiere of Bride of the Dead.

A cinema hall with only the five of them……

“Then, images suddenly appeared on the screen that originally had nothing, and the legendary God of Death finally showed up.” The teenager’s tone was intoxicated, causing Su Qingxing, who was listening quietly, to have a very bad feeling.

In the real world, would anyone really be obsessed with a low grade horror film…. to such an extent?

Su Qingxing was able to read the kind of fervor in the teenager’s eyes, which was definitely not just a love and obsession for the film, but a worship and….. fascination for the god of death in the horror films.

“It turns out that the five people left in the cinema hall are all candidate brides for the God of Death. But the five candidate brides still have to pass the trials of the God of Death, and the one who survives at the end can truly become the wife of the God of Death.” A longing gleam appeared in the teenager’s eyes.

“A bride? Hahahahaha!” The hungover man suddenly burst out laughing, “That Death is too miserable if he’s got to find his bride from within us, isn’t he? Four big men, and a fierce as hell bitch1婆娘 pó niáng woman. This word is normally used in a derogatory way, and can be translated to ‘bitch’, ‘hag’, ‘wench’ etc, the god of death can’t have such a bad eye2Having a bad eye for things: not being able to make wise decisions, being an idiot, can he?”

“Bah, it’s just a story, only a fool would take it seriously!” The career woman glared at the hungover man, “There are plenty of people chasing me, understand?”

“What’s the trial of death, little brother?” As the two bickered, the man in the denim suit walked over, “It’s not going to be about us…… no, five candidates killing each other, is it?”

“Since it’s a horror movie, of course there will be a lot of scary images.” The teenager’s face had an inexplicable confidence, “If one shows fear during the trial, then not only will the trial fail, but even the candidates themselves will die! Only those who are truly fearless of death are qualified to walk alongside Death!”

“Can’t show an expression of fear?” The denim clad man had a thoughtful look on his face, “God I hope this is just a TV prank show.”

“Boom!”

As soon as the man’s words fell, the curtain in the studio suddenly lit up, magnificent background music boomed in everyone’s ears, and white and black particles converged from around the curtain towards the center.

When the music reached a certain tempo, the white and black particles actually flew out of the curtain like shards of broken glass that had been reassembled into a solid bod, and the figure finally stopped in front of Su Qingxing and the others after a series of dazzling and magnificent reorganization.

A skeleton wearing a cloak and holding a scythe appeared in mid-air in the studio, the broken corners of the cloak were windless and white cold air surrounded the skeleton death god’s body, causing the temperature in the studio to plummet once again!

While everyone’s eyes were focused on the Skeleton Reaper, Su Qingxing quietly took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the Skeleton Reaper, immediately sending it to Zhu Sha to praise his sophisticated work.

It had to be said that the cloaked skeleton holding the scythe seemed to be the exact representation of the God of Death that humans had imagined..

The next second, Su Qingxing received a reply from his friend –

Zhu Sha : This is the work completed before meeting the God of Death himself, wait a minute!

A minute? What ‘wait a minute’?

“Welcome to the trial of the God of Death.” Before Su Qingxing could react to the message sent over by Zhu Sha, he heard a very imposing voice coming from the Skeleton Reaper.

That voice was nothing like the Death God that he had met before, and it was no wonder that Zhu Sha, who had always strived for perfection in his work, emphasized that it was only a work completed before meeting the Death God himself.

“The God of Death!” Upon seeing Death appear in mid-air, the teenager completely ignored whether or not such an image was logical or not, and a wild gleam appeared in his eyes, “Death has descended! This really is the ‘Bride of Death’, we’ve crossed over into the movie!”

“The God of Death…… is really handsome ……”

Su Qingxing was close to the teenager, so he heard that whisper from the teenager.

“The bride I’m looking for is among the five of you.” The skeletal death god floating in mid-air spoke out again, “No fear, no screaming, no death…… Only such a perfect being would be……”

The skeleton death god stopped here. He suddenly grabbed his cloak with five white and bony fingers, and threw it backwards. The storm of black and white particles reappeared, as if the death god was reorganizing itself!

The next second, the God of Death in Su Qingxing’s eyes was no longer the scythe-wielding white skeleton, but the silver-haired, black-eyed God of Death he had seen only a short while ago!

Cold and grim, those obsidian eyes seemed to be watching everyone.

The god of death standing mid-air gracefully extended his hand……

“Only such a perfect being would be….. my bride.”

The low magnetic voice was also exactly the same as the God of Death in Su Qingxing’s memory. Even though he was as unsmiling as the original, when the God of Death stood right in front of you and extended his hand, it seemed like a strange invitation, or maybe even a marriage proposal.

From the white skeleton, to the handsome man with silver hair and black eyes, all five people in the studio froze in their tracks, some of them even felt their hearts race and their cheeks flush.

The effect of this charm seemed to be blind to the boundaries of gender. It didn’t matter whether the target was a man or a woman.

Now, Su Qingxing finally understood what Zhu Sha meant when he said “wait a minute”. That technical madman who pursued perfection had actually modified the original “Skeleton God of Death” setting in just one minute and reset it to the real God of Death!

“I do!!!”

What shocked Su Qingxing the most was that the teenager in a shirt, whose name was not yet known to him, rushed out and tried to pounce on the God of Death who was standing mid-air. As the teenager looked at the brand new God of Death floating above, his burning gaze was passionate to the point of getting scary..

“Death God! Make me your bride and take me away! Death God!”

“Death God!”

The teenager’s frenzied voice surrounded the cinema hall incessantly, causing Su Qingxing and the other three to open their eyes wide and witness such a level of delusional and paranoid obsession for the first time in their lives…. Did such a level of paranoia really exist in the world?

No matter what had happened to this young man before he came here, he seemed to have long regarded himself as the bride of death, and treated it as some kind of supreme honor.

Faced with this realization, Su Qingxing’s mood was slightly complicated.

The author has something to say: The outline of this story is almost ready, everyone, brace your little heart and get ready for it!

The teenager is not trustable, let’s just say that his obsessive delusions of grandeur are the main reason why he is in hell.
