My God Raising Game

Chapter 37 The Red String of Marriage
Inside the wedding hall, the band played eerie funeral music, as if summoning the souls of the dead, or as if offering sacrifices to some indescribable evil god. The listeners felt very uncomfortable, as if leeches were crawling all over them.

Xu Shuo was wearing a black and white striped short-sleeved shirt, exuding a mature-beyond-his-years air. When he grabbed the collar and lifted it up, a thick red rope, about the thickness of a thumb, was seen binding his body.

It looked like a large hairy crab tied up like a rice dumpling in a supermarket in autumn.

"What's going on?"

Xu Shuo panicked and tugged hard on the red rope, only to find it was tied very tightly.

Those knots are the tangles where the red ropes intertwine.

"Holy crap, how did you suddenly get a rope on your body? And it's tied up like a turtle shell?"

Jia Mingqiao, who was standing nearby, was startled.

As high school students, Jia Mingqiao and Xu Shuo had never been in a relationship, but with the internet so developed, they had watched plenty of adult films.

The way the red rope was tied around Xu Shuo's upper body is very similar to a certain niche play in Japanese adult films.

"Quickly check yourself to see if you have any?"

Xu Shuo was covered in sweat, looking down as he searched for the end of the rope, wanting to untie it as soon as possible.

Jia Mingqiao lifted the hem of his T-shirt and saw that he too was bound with a red rope. Panic immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted at the others, "Do any of you have ropes on you?"

If everyone else has it, Jia Mingqiao can feel more at ease and remain calm; but if others don't...

Oh oh oh!
I don't want to die.

Everyone quickly checked their own bodies.

Xu Shaowei's outfit today consisted of denim shorts paired with a loose orange hoodie, over which she wore a sports vest.

She unzipped her hoodie and pulled the vest down to the bottom edge, revealing red ropes crisscrossing her fair abdomen, extending upwards and binding her entire upper body.

Even her pair of earth-shattering thunderbolts were not spared.

"hiss!"

No wonder I suddenly felt tight.

Compared to others, Xu Shaowei was more voluptuous, so she felt more uncomfortable being bound by the red rope.

"Jiang Shan, do you have any rope on you?"

Xu Shaowei anxiously pressed for answers.

She reached out and tugged at the red rope, finding it tied very securely. Moreover, the way it was tied was quite unique, creating many knots and diamond-shaped patterns of varying sizes. Paired with her snow-white skin, it possessed an unusual beauty.

"I can't watch it!"

Jiang Shan looked anxious.

She was wearing a white dress and strappy sandals, but there was no bodice for her to lift up. To see if there was a red string on her clothes, she would have to grab the hem of the dress and lift it up, revealing her thighs, underwear, and buttocks...

Everything will be seen.

Jiang Shan was filled with regret; she shouldn't have worn a skirt out today.

Do not!
They shouldn't have come to Fanshi Ancient Town at all.

"But there's probably some!"

Jiang Shan touched the fabric through her dress and could feel some knots, and she began to feel the restraint of being tied up.

This made her very uneasy.

Zhang Shuai lifted his shirt and saw that his upper body was also tied with red ropes, and immediately cursed.

"Hold!"

Normally, I'm the one who abuses others; it's never me who gets to mess with others.

"There's a pervert!"

Li Yinuo panicked and looked around frantically, trying to find the culprit as soon as possible.

"When were these ropes tied around us?"

Wang Xingkun was desperate. Was this ever going to end?

He wanted to vent his anger on Tang Weimin, but one glance at the gloomy face of his homeroom teacher reminded him of the fear of being dominated over the past three years, so he didn't dare to utter a single word.

"The red ropes that appeared on our upper bodies only appeared after the boy shouted three sentences."

Jiang Shan frowned, recalling the signs that had started to appear.

"Does everyone have ropes on them?"

Xu Shaowei inquired.

"I have!"

"I have it too!"

"I can't find the end of the rope!"

Everyone was making a racket. Although the rope was a little tight and constricting, it wasn't life-threatening, but everyone wanted to get it off as soon as possible.

Because he was wearing a traditional Chinese groom's suit, which was difficult to take off, Lu Jiuling could only touch it with his hands.

He touched his chest and stomach, then put his right hand behind his back, pressing down on his spine...

Lu Jiuling didn't touch the knot, and he didn't feel any restraint.

"Lu Jiuling, do you have any money left?" Zhang Shuai stared at Lu Jiuling: "Give it all to him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly snapped out of their daze.

"Yes, yes, just give them money and everything will be fine!"

Jia Mingqiao looked at Lu Jiuling expectantly; that's exactly what happened just now.

"Brother 69, hurry up and pay up!"

Wang Xingkun clasped his hands together in prayer.

"690, could you please help everyone one more time?"

Li Yinuo pleaded.

The whole class looked at each other with pleading expressions.

"I'm out of money!" Lu Jiuling shrugged. "I just gave it all away!"

"what?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Why didn't you save some?" Xu Shuo complained. "How stupid of you! Didn't you think you might need it later?"

"Alright, shut up! If it weren't for the 690 silver coins you just received, you'd be turned into a human skin balloon too!"

Xu Shaowei retorted.

"..."

Xu Shuo was speechless.

Indeed, he survived only because of Lu Jiuling.

"I don't believe it!" Zhang Shuai questioned, "690 is a smart kid, how could he not think of leaving some money for a rainy day?"

"He just doesn't want to pay!"

Zhang Shuai is cunning and selfish, so he thinks Lu Jiuling is the same way.

Everyone looked at Lu Jiuling with suspicion.

There's no way around it, Lu Jiuling's performance today was just too outstanding, it was an eye-opener. To say that he's brainless or doesn't think things through would be absolutely blind.

Seeing that Lu Jiuling was completely unfazed, Zeng Hong suddenly thought of a question: "690, you don't have a red rope tied around your body, do you?"

"Zeng Hong, don't talk nonsense, everyone in the class has one!"

Xu Shaowei defended Lu Jiuling.

If Lu Jiuling didn't have the red string on him, he wouldn't need to rush or bribe the little boy with silver.

"Xu Shaowei, don't speak up for him!" Zhang Shuai said unhappily, "Look at his calm face, does he look like he's in a state of panic with red ropes tied around his body?"

"To be fair, your reasoning is flawed. Think about it, wasn't 690 completely calm throughout the entire day?"

Jiang Shan chimed in.

"I can testify!"

Baby-faced girl raises her hand.

Since entering the Fan family mansion, a thick fog has been rising, and all sorts of strange phenomena have been occurring one after another. However, Lu Jiuling remained as calm as someone who had been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years.

"690, you don't have any rope on you, do you?"

Xu Shuo pressed him, saying that if Lu Jiuling didn't admit it, he planned to make her take off her clothes to check, but she just said two words.

"no!"

Lu Jiuling's tone was nonchalant.

"Damn it!" Xu Shuo was speechless with frustration, blurting out, "Why should I?"

"Because he's the groom, right?"

Jia Mingqiao guessed that he wasn't the only one thinking this way; many others did too. However, they weren't envious because becoming a groom would likely mean facing even more terrifying dangers.

Li Yinuo and the others were extremely envious when they heard that Lu Jiuling wasn't wearing a red string.

"Stop worrying about whether I have a red string on me!" Lu Jiuling observed everyone: "Is there anything wrong with you, or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

Lu Jiuling didn't care about the lives or deaths of these people; he only wanted to purify this forbidden pollution.

"The rope seems to have tightened?"

The baby-faced man clutched his clothes and looked at Jiang Shan.

"It's gotten tighter!"

Jiang Shan nodded. She could clearly feel the red rope digging into her flesh, and the pain intensified: "If we can't find a way to untie the red rope, we'll probably be strangled to death very soon!"

"I feel like I can't breathe!"

Xu Shaowei was big and uncomfortable than others after being tied up. However, amidst the discomfort, there was a tiny bit of stimulation, especially in her chest area, where she actually wished the ropes were tightened even more.

"Teacher, we've been with you for three years, are you really going to watch us die?"

Xu Shuo spoke with great emotion, attempting to influence Tang Weimin and awaken his last vestige of conscience.

"If I had a way, I would have acted already!"

Tang Weimin's face darkened.

I wish this damn taboo pollution would end soon, so I could complete my promotion ceremony.

Tang Weimin was actually more anxious than Xu Shuo and the others.

Tang Weimin even looked at Lu Jiuling: "Do you have any clues?"

Lu Jiuling ignored Tang Weimin and called out to Tang Lei, "Lei Zi, come here, let me see the red string on your body!"

Tang Lei glanced at Xiao Xitong beside Lu Jiuling, then steeled himself and came over.

He definitely wouldn't go if someone else called him, but Lu Jiuling is his good friend and wouldn't harm him.

"Let's go over there too!"

Xu Shaowei pulled Feng Xiu along and quickly went to Lu Jiuling's place.

Jiang Shan and the baby-faced girl exchanged a glance and then got up and came over.

Seeing this, the other students also gathered around Lu Jiuling.

"Don't move!" Tang Weimin shook the golden magic bell and roared, "Tang Lei and the others can go over there!"

The most basic wedding banquet order must be maintained. What if the promotion ceremony fails because things get chaotic?
Everyone was not going to listen to Tang Weimin, but Zhao Zihan, who had turned into a zombie, stood in front of them, blocking their way.

Seeing Zhao Zihan's pale face due to blood loss, and how she could possibly come back to life even though she was completely dead, no one dared to approach her.

Tang Lei took off his shirt, revealing his bare chest, and you could see the red rope tightly tied around his body.

"Have you...found any clues?"

Tang Lei crossed his arms, feeling a little embarrassed, because Jiang Shan and the others were also there.

"We need a control group!"

Lu Jiuling reached out and tugged at the rope.

"Hey, stop pulling! It feels like it's tightened up!"

Tang Lei gasped.

Just as Lu Jiuling tugged at the red rope, it immediately began to tighten, becoming visibly taut and digging into his flesh.

Lu Jiuling quickly let go.

Jiang Shan and Xu Shaowei were not girls who would sit idly by and wait for their fate. When they heard Lu Jiuling mention the control group, they immediately checked each other's red ropes to see if there were any differences.

The binding methods are the same, both outlining a diamond-shaped grid pattern, and the knots are the same size...

As Jiang Shan and Xu Shaowei were still studying, two screams suddenly came from a corner of the wedding hall.

Everyone was startled and instinctively turned their heads.

A tall boy fell to the ground, holding a short-haired girl, and let out a painful howl.

It's Zhong Lihui and Yuan Xinyue.

They started dating in the second year of junior high school after Zhong Lihui successfully confessed his feelings. It's been over four years now, and everyone has had their share of their public displays of affection.

"690..."

Feng Xiu was nervous and subconsciously moved closer to Lu Jiuling, but Lu Jiuling pushed her away and strode towards the couple.
