Salted Fish Zombie

The black robe and assistant looked at the bride indifferently.

They are not good people, and they have passed the reckless period of newcomers, and they can only see benefits and vitality in their eyes.

But at a certain second, looking at the desperate begging eyes, something flashed through the head of the black robe, and he didn't have time to catch it.

The old man carved three **** words on the bride's face, because the blood was still flowing, and the specific words were unclear.

When the two let go of the hands stuck around the bride's neck, the bride shook her head in pain.

The expression was almost crazy, coupled with the **** face, that face was already unreadable.

The black robe and his assistant knew at a glance that it wasn't just the pain caused by the needle, there must be something wrong with the red paint on the wooden needle.

After the words were carved on the face, the bride was dragged back two steps. The old man lay on the ground, smiled and lifted the bride's underwear, and also carved words on the bride.

The "groom"'s father: "The second step in recognizing your husband is to marry him with a drop of blood."

The bride, who was almost numb in pain, was carried into the coffin.

The head is facing down to the groom, and the head is pressed against the groom's face, and the faces of each person and the corpse fit together.

The dead man's face was a terrifying purple-gray, and the ice cubes in the coffin still couldn't stop the decay. The cold corpse smell stuck to the bride's face, squeezing her wound.

Their lips were touching, and the bride seemed to feel that the corpse gas of the dead was pouring into her body through her mouth, corroding her internal organs.

The bride, who was already numb, struggled frantically and violently, with a broken "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"" from her throat.

The voice was shrill and desperate, which added another layer of coldness to Xitang.

But no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. The villagers of Manxitang controlled her alone, while the other two watched indifferently.

The blood from the bride's forehead and the blood from the lettering on her face all melted into the face of the dead body.

The "groom" father: "The first step in settling down is to undress and remove all the clothes on the bride."

Someone in the Xitang blew a loud and festive suona, and the firecrackers outside were crackling lively, and the sky was filled with finely divided red.

Most of the people in the Xitang raised their festive smiles, completely overwhelmed the bride's broken and tiny struggle.

They tore the clothes off the bride, and the bride and the dead man were not only face to face, but also bodies.

This trick can be described as extremely feudal and disgusting, even the black robe can't stand it.

The so-called settling down is actually imprisoning the bride in a coffin.

In this feudal village, they believed that a woman without clothes would not dare to go out, not to mention another man's name engraved on her body, so she could only stay here forever.

Having gone through countless dungeons, the black robe has become cold and ruthless. When he was a child, he was also an innocent child who loved to listen to fairy tales and legends.

After he grew up, he realized that in the love legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the cowherd took a fancy to the beautiful little fairy who was taking a bath, and secretly hid the little fairy's clothes so that she could not return to heaven and could only stay in the world. Nasty and disgusting.

But the scene in front of him was a thousand times more disgusting.

But come to think of it, isn't it disgusting for a cold-eyed bystander like him?

The black robe sneered, and when he predicted that he was going to fall, he closed his eyes wearily.

The "groom" father: "The second step of settling down is to tie the bride to the groom with a soul-locking red rope, and the two will never be separated."

Hearing the "soul-locking red rope", Heipao's hand holding the soul-locking rope trembled, and was seen by the assistant.

"Groom" father: "Shut up."

In a silent struggle, the bride's tongue was cut off and stuffed into the groom's mouth.

"Groom" father: "Li Cheng, close the coffin."

The sound of Xitang suona stopped, the sound of firecrackers disappeared, and the sound of laughter and applause disappeared.

In the Xitang, only the dull beating sound of the coffin could be heard.

It is conceivable that the bride, who was stripped and tied to the dead man, was stuck to the dead man in a small closed dark space, facing his face covered with corpse spots, feeling the depletion of air little by little. How desperate it must be to die from being unable to breathe in the stench of corpses.

The black robe and the assistant were silent.

Not just for brides, that's a small part.

The assistant said: "There is no movement in the system."

The black robe closed his eyes, "Yin Daijun is not a ghost master, she can't become a ghost."

Who is the ghost master?

At this point, they have no clue at all.

While they were talking, after closing the coffin, all the villagers in Xitang looked at them.

The underground industry in Huaiyang Village, they have been rich for so many years, and the secrets cannot be known to living outsiders, even if they have cooperated before.

The assistant smiled, and suddenly said: "Master Heipao, is your soul-locking rope useless?"

The black robe grabbed the soul lock rope violently.

The assistant turned to look at him, "I have served you with all my heart and soul for so long, and I have paid so much for Yinhua, so I should be promoted to management, right?"

Who doesn't want to be in the management team? In a large club, the treatment of the management team and ordinary members is very different.

Black Robe: "Yinhua's management is not that easy to advance."

The assistant said with a smile: "If you die here, a position will be vacated in the management. It happens that I, who has contributed a lot to the society, will bring back the map and secrets of "Ghost Animals"."

Before the black robe could say a word, the assistant lifted it up by the neckline and threw it at the coffin.

When the black robe hit the coffin board, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

His head was dizzy and his vision was blurred, as if he saw some mark drawn on the coffin board.

The black robe blinked vigorously, and finally saw what it was.

III

The mark of the Silver Birch Society.

It was when the coffin board was still mixed in the floor, and the bride was caught out when she was pressed to kowtow to the coffin board.

He finally knew who this inexplicable bride was.

It was he who ordered the man with the scar to watch Wang Ming in the villa.

The black robe laughed lowly.

He always thought that in this crazy game, indifference could save his life, but he didn't expect that the last indifference ruined his only chance of survival.

The man with the scar was in awe of him from the bottom of his heart, and his fear was engraved in his bones. Even without the soul lock rope, his fear would not be reduced much.

What's more, he is the examiner who turned the scarred man into a full-time member. If he died, the scarred man would not be able to become a full-timer.

If he had asked his assistant to save the bride at that time, and the man with the scar was still alive, he would have protected him, and the assistant would not have been so blatant if he cared.

With the last of his strength, the black robe put his palm on "III" and said silently: "President, I have failed your expectations."

Suddenly, the black robe suddenly opened his eyes.

Ning Su and the others walked out of the groom's house smoothly.

Zhu Shuangshuang first wept with joy after escaping from the dead, then was shocked, and was very confused when she came out.

At this time, the brain is chaotic and the mood is unstable.

Not knowing where to start, after following the two out of the door, she grasped the initial question, "Ning Su, why did you come out?"

Ning Su said: "We have entered the inner world, and the inner world is a ghost world that is basically synchronized with the watch world."

I wish you both a pale face.

"It's very interesting there." Ning Su talked about what they saw in the small square, especially the marriage.

"The ghost who is announcing a second marriage is standing next to a female ghost, who is the bride."

The information content is too large, and the two need to slow down.

Ning Su said: "That ghost is called Bai Xiangning, and the first marriage was with a bride, so the bride is actually going to marry a ghost, or a dead person."

"The first time he got married was the bride, but for the second time that was announced, there was only one foreign girl in Huaiyang Village outside the world."

Zhu Shuangshuang was moved and happy, "So, did you come here specifically to save me?"

Ning Su thought for a while, but said nothing.

Zhu Shuangshuang smiled and didn't bother with this question. She smiled and said, "Why did you save me this time? Or was it because I was arguing?"

The redness in her eyes hadn't subsided when she was crying just now, and she laughed again, thinking that she was really noisy when Ning Su came, even more noisy than in the hearse.

Ning Su: "Because you gave me candy."

Zhu Shuangshuang paused for a moment, suddenly feeling extremely uncomfortable. I don't know if it's for myself or for Ning Su.

She laughed and cried, "Just because I gave you candy?"

Zhu Shuangshuang suddenly thought of her college roommate.

The roommate made a boyfriend. In Zhu Shuangshuang's opinion, the boy is average and treats the roommate averagely.

They only dated for a month, and the boy had a serious car accident. The roommate was taking care of the boy while dealing with his studies, and had to work three jobs to help him pay for the operation, sleeping only two hours a day.

After a long time, they were so haggard that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked her if it was worth it.

At that time, the roommate's eyes were particularly bright, and his tone was firm, and he said, "It's worth it."

She asked her roommate: "What did he do to make you pay so much?"

"Because he picks me up from get out of class every day and takes me home to cook for me."

At that time, Zhu Shuangshuang couldn't understand and was at a loss.

Later she gradually understood.

As long as her roommate can remember, the relationship between her parents was not good. At that time, they were unwilling to go home and were busy outside.

I don’t know how many times, my roommate was alone at home, standing on a chair, half lying on the window sill, watching the family going home together outside.

At school, I was alone in the classroom, looking out the window at the people who left school together holding the hands of their parents.

That was the loneliest and deepest gray-white image in her childhood memory. She really wanted someone to pick her up, accompany her at home anytime, and have dinner with her.

Picking her up, cooking for her, and staying with her are trivial things for many people who grew up in the love of their parents, but for her it is worth doing a lot.

Zhu Shuangshuang opened her mouth, and said in a gentle voice, "Ning Su, if you can get out of this dungeon, I will buy you a big bag of candy with points. You must always remember me, the sister who bought you candy."

"Hmm." Ning Su thought for a while, if there were so many candies, he wouldn't mention the fact that he was older than her.

Wishing Shuangshuang's emotions became more stable, she asked Su Xiangsheng again: "Why don't we stop watching, isn't the bridal line very important?"

Su Xiangsheng said: "Yin Daijun is not a ghost master, we just need to know that she has experienced a ghost marriage."

Chen Tian and Chen Qing told them that finding the ghost owner is the key to this kind of decrypted copy with the ghost owner.

Even if they deciphered other things and did not find the ghost master, it was not completely deciphered and they could not pass the level.

Zhu Shuangshuang was puzzled, "How can you be sure that Yin Daijun is not the ghost master?"

Su Xiangsheng: "Because she can't become a ghost, the ghost master is the ghost who created or derived this world, so he must be very strong."

He knew what Zhu Shuangshuang was going to ask again, so he said directly: "Huaiyang Village is already very mature in the area of ​​dark marriage and yin relatives, how could it not know how to ask someone to eliminate the hostility and resentment?"

"The price of ghost marriage for living people is ridiculously high, and the customers are all rich people, so it is impossible for them not to consider this."

I wish you both silence.

Su Xiangsheng sighed, "No matter how much suffering they have experienced, no matter how tortured they are, they will not be able to retaliate, redress their grievances, or even speak out. It is not uncommon for ghosts in the underworld to be like this."

They were talking about this when they saw the middle-aged couple, Su Xiangsheng said, the dead parents of the bride who was going to marry.

Su Xiangsheng told them: "Marriage in the dark will only damage Yin virtue."

They froze for a moment, and the woman, as if stimulated, yelled at them while shedding tears: "What do you know! He died before he got married, and he can only be a lonely ghost, and he can't even reincarnate!"

Su Xiangsheng: "..."

Ning Su looked up at the man, "Bai?"

The man looked at him nervously.

"Hmm." Ning Su said, "Have you ever thought that your son doesn't want to get married, maybe he will hate you because of it?"

Zhu Shuangshuang: "?"

Seeing that the woman was about to come up and beat someone, she and Su Xiangsheng hurriedly dragged Ning Su away.

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Can you two talk? The middle-aged lost their son, and they are experiencing the grief of a white-haired man giving a black-haired man. This may be their only consolation. Can they stand the denial and stimulation like you?"

Although what they said is the truth, there is no need to say, why offend the npc.

The two boys did not speak.

They walked in silence towards the slaughterhouse.

On the way, Ning Su also picked up a broken pillow from the trash can, followed by an iron bucket with peeling paint.

Zhu Shuangshuang: "..."

I don't know if it's because of the life-saving candy incident, but she always thinks Ning Su is very pitiful when she sees what Ning Su does.

Although he solved the black-robed boss with one hand.

Seeing Ning Su stuffing pillows into the iron bucket, he felt like a homeless vagrant who was making a nest for himself.

Walking to the incinerator, Ning Su pointed to Zhu Shuangshuang, who was pale and started to sweat, and said, "Get in."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "?"

Ning Su said: "There are grimaces on the furnace wall inside, and there are millions of little ghosts trying to catch you."

Zhu Shuangshuang got into the bucket numbly and covered her head with a broken pillow.

Woohoo, I also prepared a pillow to protect my head. What a caring little angel.

Zhu Shuangshuang wanted to say thank you to Ning Su, but when she looked up and saw Ning Su was also looking at her, she hesitated to speak.

Zhu Shuangshuang: "What's the matter? Tell me directly, it's okay."

Ning Su: "Can I add two steamed buns and a bottle of milk? The one next to the game hall."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "..."

After Zhu Shuangshuang nodded blankly, Ning Su put the lid on the bucket, lifted the iron bucket and put it vertically into the incinerator, pushed it forward, and took a step back.

Su Xiangsheng saw him holding the furnace walls on both sides of the incinerator with both hands, black blood vessels protruding faintly on his smooth white forearm, and kicking straight and slender legs directly towards the iron bucket.

The iron bucket disappeared into the incinerator at a speed that even the shadow could not be seen.

Su Xiangsheng: "..."

He looked at Ning Su, "Physical value 32?"

Ning Su's head immediately drooped, "I'm so tired."

Su Xiangsheng: "..."

He took a flashlight and took two steps inside. After a minute, he came out with a pale face, "Well, can you wait a little longer and get tired again, and wait until I go to the trash can and dig an iron bucket out."

Ning Su said, "I've checked all the trash cans along the way, and there are no more iron cans."

Su Xiangsheng: "It's okay, I can move the trash can. I think there are small trash cans, which are quite suitable."

Ning Su: "."

After kicking Su Xiangsheng, who consciously got into the trash can, into the inner world, Ning Su went to the warehouse to grab the ghost child out.

The blank-faced child with a blank face is still a bit unhappy, but it is very useful.

As soon as the child was placed in the incinerator, the hideous and howling grimaces on the furnace wall immediately became paralyzed, and the little hands that were about to reach out shrank back.

Ning Su had already guessed it.

The first time he was stuffed into the incinerator by the butcher, there were no ghost hands when he crawled into the inner world. At that time, the child followed him and dragged him back.

The reason why I prepared an iron bucket for Zhu Shuangshuang was because Zhu Shuangshuang's sensitivity was too high, even if her little hands didn't come out to catch people, she might faint and cause trouble.

I just didn't expect that Su Xiangsheng would take the initiative to get into the trash can.

Ning Su crawled unhindered in the tunnel of the incinerator. After climbing two steps, he said to the child, "Just now I threw two people, dumped one person, and kicked two people. I'm so tired."

"..."

Zhu Shuangshuang and Su Xiangsheng crawled out of the bucket in a daze after being kicked into the underworld.

Good luck to both, she has pillows to protect her.

Su Xiangsheng was in a stinking trash can, his forehead was smashed, and the head of the ball was also smashed into a mess, without any trace of fairy spirit.

They had just stood up and looked at the slaughterhouse when they heard movement in the incinerator.

First saw a young and immature figure.

That little figure looks thin and small. I don't know if there is a human cub that is three years old, holding the hand of a boy over 180, and dragging it out a little bit.

"..."

At this moment, neither of them felt that this ghost child was scary.

I just feel a little sad.

After Ning Su came out of the incinerator, he looked at the child who was full but still unhappy, and asked him, "I don't want me to come here, are you afraid that I will leave forever after I know the answer?"

The child lowered his head slightly, and took a step back with his little feet.

Ning Su bent down and whispered something in his small gray ear.

The child suddenly raised his head to look at him, and there was a small starlight shining between the two pitch-black eyes.

He jumped on Ning Su's body, hugged him and licked his neck.

"Why are you like a puppy?" Ning Su rolled his eyes.

If it is a puppy, the tail must be wagging at this time.

This was the liveliest time he had ever seen a child.

After appeasing his little laborer, Ning Su, Zhu Shuangshuang, and Su Xiangsheng walked out together.

The butcher was lighting a fire when he passed by.

Zhu Shuangshuang said: "When I heard about the butcher before, I thought he was weird and scary, but it's different now."

Inside those red urns were the ashes of young girls and boys who had been stolen or bought.

The butcher scattered their ashes into the clear river, and the poor children were freed, and the river flowed out of the dark and disgusting village.

Su Xiangsheng: "Wait a minute, the butcher replaced the ashes of the yin relatives with the ashes of animals, then..."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Wait a minute, Ning Su said that Bai Xiangning is going to get married again, so here I am, I won't have a husband!"

Ning Su: "."

"Just go and have a look."

It took Ning Su an hour to bring the two back. When he left, he was announcing who would be married next. Today’s bride and groom had not yet been decided, and the wedding was about to start when he came back.

Zhu Shuangshuang and Su Xiangsheng looked at the "ghost" in the small square in shock.

Zhu Shuangshuang rubbed her eyes, which became even redder.

Chen Qing asked her: "Why...have you cried?"

Zhu Shuangshuang said embarrassedly: "It's so embarrassing."

Chen Qing smiled and said: "No shame, dare to enter the dungeon opened for the first time, she is a brave girl worthy of respect."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Is it the first time you turn it on, is there a big difference?"

In fact, they didn't know when they came in, so they went in directly.

The groom's welcoming team hadn't set off yet, so Chen Qing simply shared the game knowledge and the status quo of the base with the newcomers.

"It's very different. For example, when we open this dungeon for the second time, if the players have understood the true meaning of equality for all beings, and know who the ghost master is, what's going on in the dungeon, how much do you think the difficulty will be reduced? "

"Of course the dungeon will change every time, for example, the passages between the outer world and the inner world will change, but the overall difficulty will be fine."

"Especially the decrypted copy, it's just a process."

Zhu Shuangshuang froze for a moment, it was true.

If you want to be a **** player, it is not very difficult to just open the dungeon that has been opened many times, and it is not very difficult to hold the world map.

Zhu Shuangshuang: "Is this why many people want to join big clubs?"

Chen Qing nodded, "There are a lot of dungeon maps in the big club, and it will not be a problem if you want to keep it for ten years. There are still many masters to explore new dungeons, and if you receive a steady stream of maps, the club members will be able to keep going."

Zhu Shuangshuang, who wrote the script, quickly heard the relationship.

"The status of the player who explores the new dungeon and the player who relies on the old dungeon for survival is very different."

Chen Qing nodded appreciatively, "It's equivalent to their lives being given by the higher-ups of the society. In such a horrible and twisted world, you can understand their relationship as the relationship between master and slave."

"In order to survive, people can do anything and are willing to give anything."

"Those who can't face death and just want to live, except for the extremely intelligent ones who can help run the society, most of them have become the experimental objects, slaves and playthings of the high-level and masters of the society."

"Let me give you an example to feel it."

Chen Qing said: "There is a club in the game base that is on par with the Yinhua club. Last quarter, the club narrowly beat Yinhua in the open ranking competition, and the Yongming club, which ranked first this quarter, has a personal pupa master."

"She used people at the bottom of the society to do human pupae experiments. She had a human pupae tank, which raised ten human pupae with no hands, no feet, and no eyes."

"That's her weapon. During the battle, these human chrysalis will stick out their heads like snakes from the various exits of the human chrysalis tank, biting the opponent."

Zhu Shuangshuang's face turned pale, and a feeling of nausea welled up in her heart.

She once again felt what kind of world the game base is.

The strong are respected, and in the distorted world, being respected means being able to act recklessly.

Chen Qing said: "Many newcomers first find the club, pay various things, and get a map of an old first-level dungeon. The first time you enter, it is the first dungeon you open. It is still a second-level dungeon, which is amazing."

Zhu Shuangshuang is very embarrassed, they didn't know this when they came in.

Chen Qing encouraged: "The dungeon opened for the first time is indeed dangerous, but almost all weapon skills in the dungeon world are dropped in the first three times. The first time has the highest probability and high points."

When the groom came out, Ning Su and Su Xiangsheng both looked over.

Chen Qing whispered to Zhu Shuangshuang about the gossip between girls: "I heard that the assistant in the black robe is Lin Liang, who used to be a member of the Yinhua Society, and won the favor of the black robe. I gave him my original weapon, the Poison Throwing Knife, and took him into new copies one after another, and he climbed up step by step."

Zhu Shuangshuang was stunned: "Wow!"

Ning Su: "."

After sharing this little gossip, the two girls began to take the dungeon seriously.

Zhu Shuangshuang asked: "Ning Su said that the second marriage, when will he get married?"

Chen Qing: "Just today."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "?"

Ning Su and Su Xiangsheng immediately looked at Chen Qing.

Chen Qing didn't understand, so, "What's the matter? Not long after Ning Su left, when the long-haired ghost was about to announce today's groom, he said that something happened to Bai Xiangning's wedding, and he changed the bride temporarily."

"The other four big ghosts said, it's so interesting, why not hold this wedding together while there are guests."

Zhu Shuangshuang: "..."

"I think, I am the bride who was replaced."

Chen Tian Chen Qing: "?"

The two sides exchanged messages.

Chen Tian: "No, if the one standing next to Bai Xiangning is the bride, which proves that the bride is the woman who married him for the first time, then the one who is going to get married this time and replace both of them will definitely not be the bride, then she is the bride. who?"

Su Xiangsheng: "Just look at it."

At ten o'clock, the sun became more and more fierce.

Here, that is getting sallow.

The grimaces were dyed even more strangely. Only the color of the paint on their bodies was the same. They were grotesque, standing silently in two teams and walking from the thin fog.

The two grooms were at the front. They were wearing red wedding dresses, their faces were full of horror and resistance, but they had to move forward step by step.

Five people followed them.

It was so scary to attend a wedding for the first time, especially when I thought I was surrounded by ghosts.

They followed the group in silence, occasionally passing an orc cub standing quietly in the mist.

Every incomprehensible place in this world is aggravating their suffocation.

Passing the slaughterhouse, the place to welcome the bride is Huaiyang Village Funeral Home.

It's really a tingling place.

"Invite the bride into the sedan chair!" It was a crow that spoke, and the unique hoarse voice of a crow opened up the hustle and bustle of the wedding.

The ghosts who appeared from nowhere shook their heads and blew suonas and flutes.

There was a strong dead air on their bodies, probably because of the wrong skin color on their faces, they had specially dressed up and put on a layer of powder when they attended the wedding.

There was a lime powder feel on their faces.

There was a red circle between her eyebrows, and pink powder was brushed on her cheeks.

Shaking his head in a daze, playing joy, but with the tune of the underworld.

They blew hard, their gray faces undulating, trying to blow out a festive and lively feeling, but it aroused goosebumps and made people's cochleas tingle.

The first wedding sedan chair came out of the funeral home.

The bridegroom on the left was pushed, and amidst louder joy, he tremblingly walked to the wedding sedan chair, knocked his head three times, and stood beside the wedding sedan chair.

The second wedding sedan chair came out of the funeral home.

Bai Xiangning walked up to the sedan chair with stiff limbs, kowtowed a series of heads, and kept muttering: "Madam calm down, madam calm down."

"..."

Suddenly I felt that it might be true that the ghost was domestically abused.

What kind of bizarre world view setting is there in this world.

On the way back to the church after welcoming the bride, Bai Xiangning also kept bowing at the window of the sedan chair to apologize.

It's a bit off-putting, but it's actually kind of funny.

The welcoming team finally stopped in front of a villa they were all too familiar with.

The villa is covered with blood-red skyflowers, and the green and red thick vines are like pulsating blood vessels. This is the only place that has not been changed a little by the sallow sunlight.

"Ask the groom to take the bride off the sedan chair."

First was the groom on the left. He walked up to the wedding sedan chair, took a deep breath, and gently opened the sedan chair curtain.

In the blood-red sedan chair, a pure black cow was staring at him intently. The bull's eyes were round and its two sharp horns were stained with blood.

The groom suddenly fell to the ground.

On the other side, Bai Xiangning walked up to the wedding sedan chair, gritted his teeth and violently opened the sedan chair curtain.

The bride is wearing a gorgeous Xiuhe dress, the skirt covers her feet.

Looking up, the bride's waist is fairly thin.

Continuing to go up, the chest is wide and undulating, and there are a few drops of blood on the collar of the chest.

Further up, there is a ferocious face.

There was a scar on that face, from the right forehead to the corner of the left eye. The scar should have been terrifying, but compared with the **** cheeks, it was just normal.

There was endless resentment and madness in his eyes.

The five players opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Unexpectedly, this bride was actually the man with the scar beside the black robe.

Seeing him like this, Bai Xiangning staggered back in fright.

The crow's suppressed and hoarse voice was like bad news, "Please invite the groom to carry the bride into the wedding hall."
