As the cafeteria door was pushed open, the environment around us began to distort, like entering a time tunnel, and a bright light filled our vision.

After a moment, I heard the sound of a suona.

"Welcome, esteemed guests!"

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a courtyard.

Inside, there were many round tables filled with fine wine and delicious food, but the seats were empty.

"Where are we?" I hadn't finished speaking when Wang Jiayi next to me pulled me and said, "Look over there."

I looked and saw a man and a woman standing in the center of the hall. The man wore a round hat, a long robe, and a big red flower on his chest, exuding an extraordinary aura. The woman wore a phoenix crown and a red dress, radiating beauty. They should be the bridegroom and bride of this wedding.

At this moment, the couple slowly walked towards us.

The bridegroom smiled and said, "We are delighted that you four esteemed guests could witness our wedding. We have been waiting for this day for over one hundred and fifty years."

"What? Over one hundred and fifty years?" The four of us stared at them with disbelief written all over our faces.

"It's a long story. You'll understand when you see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bridegroom waved his sleeve, and one scene after another appeared before our eyes. It turned out that on their wedding day all those years ago, they were attacked by enemies. The bridegroom, the bride, and the entire wedding procession were set on fire inside the courtyard and burned alive. The fire later spread throughout the village, claiming the lives of many innocent villagers.

Since then, the spirits of the deceased in this village have been restless. Due to their deep resentment, this place has become a different dimension, and hardly anyone who enters comes out alive.

"These deceased villagers harbor intense grudges. Over time, their resentment has transformed into a group of evil spirits who have established various rules, with the intention of keeping more people here, never allowing them to leave." said the bridegroom.

"In fact, my wife and I have never harbored ill intentions towards others. We have even tried several times to save those who fell into this trap. However, for over a hundred years, no one has been able to enter this courtyard. Sigh..." The bride couldn't help but let out a sigh.

After hearing their words, everything became clear to me. "I understand now. So, those rules, several of them were created by the two of you working together. For example, if a rule is added to the classroom, the person who adds the rule must voluntarily delete another rule. Not accepting red invitations and not entering the cafeteria after midnight, these rules seem contradictory, but they are actually hinting at us to go against them."

"Exactly. And you have succeeded. Congratulations, you can leave this place now."

After the bride finished speaking, a glowing tunnel appeared in front of us.

The four of us happily embraced each other, tears of joy streaming down our faces. Although it was only a week, it felt as if we had experienced a century of hardships.

Before leaving, I took off the jade pendant my grandfather had given me and handed it to the bridegroom and bride.

With a smile, I said, "Thank you for helping us. We didn't have time to prepare a gift, so I'll give you this jade pendant that my grandfather left me. We also wish you a hundred years of happiness and a lifelong union."

"Thank you, thank you for coming to witness our wedding."

After speaking, the couple bowed deeply to us.
