Chapter 63: Carrie the Witch
"Oh~ Rose!"
"Oh~ Jack~"
"Today, I'm going to give you an unforgettable wedding!"
"Thank you! Jack! I'm so touched!"
"Did you hear the cheering inside? Those are all our friends and family here to celebrate with us!"
Outside the wall of the small park, the handsome blonde groom held the blonde bride's hand, his eyes filled with love.
"Woo-hoo-hoo!"
Just as the blonde groom finished speaking, a sudden commotion erupted from inside the wall, followed by a scream straight out of Tom and Jerry.
A figure flailed its limbs and flew right out from over the wall!
A dark shadow blocked the view!
Startled, the bride and groom quickly jumped aside.
"Thud!"
The Mediterranean-looking man landed facedown on the ground like a turtle, lying completely motionless as if dead.
"Whoa! Seventh Great-Uncle! What's wrong with you?! Are you dead or what?!"
Seeing the man who had been tossed out, the blonde groom jumped in fright.
"How do you even know he's your Seventh Great-Uncle?"
The pretty little bride quickly skirted around the fallen man and ran over to the groom's side.
"I recognize the hairy mole on his forehead."
The groom replied, his handsome face gleaming brightly in the sunlight.
"We'd better go inside and take a look. Something seems to have gone wrong with the wedding."
Frightened, the bride Rose glanced at the Seventh Great-Uncle on the ground and hurriedly tugged on the sleeve of her groom, Jack.
"You're right! Today is our wedding, we should go take a look."
Jack stepped over his Seventh Great-Uncle, holding his head high as he walked into the small park.
Rose originally wanted to step over the Seventh Great-Uncle just like Jack did.
In the end, she didn't dare, so she simply hurried around the front of the Seventh Great-Uncle and caught up with Jack.
Out of curiosity, Rose looked back once more.
Just in time to see the Seventh Great-Uncle scratching his backside with his hands behind his back, before putting his hands back in place and resuming his turtle-like prone posture.
Startled, Rose quickly sped up again to catch up with Jack.
The newlywed couple trotted up to the entrance.
Just around the corner, another flustered couple came running out headlong.
The two pairs of people almost collided, and both sides slammed on the brakes in a hurry!
"What a coincidence? Are you guys getting married too?"
Jack, not yet realizing what had happened inside, was actually a bit pleasantly surprised to see Steve and Jenny, who were also dressed as a bride and groom.
At this point, Steve and the other knew very well what had transpired.
The two people standing before them were the actual protagonists of the banquet inside.
This made them feel extremely guilty, forcing them to squeeze out awkward smiles: "Ha, haha! Yeah, yeah! We've got soup simmering at home, we've gotta go."
With that, without even waiting for Jack to reply, Steve and Jenny sped away in a run.
Jack and Rose froze for a moment, then prepared to enter the park once again.
Suddenly, two strangely dressed people and a dog came running out from the inside.
"Hey! You guys are late, the party's over!"
As Xu Wang ran past the newlywed couple, he kindly offered a warning.
"Ah? Ah? What?"
Both Jack and Rose were utterly bewildered.
They felt that everything happening today was completely unexpected.
"Here, take this! Help me block the people behind us!"
Before Jack even had time to react, he heard Xu Wang shout again, and a dark shadow flew straight at his face!
He instinctively raised his hands and caught it.
Looking down, it turned out to be a water gun filled to the brim with water.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Don't let them get away!"
"After them!"
At that moment, another chorus of battle cries echoed from inside the park.
Recalling Xu Wang's entrustment, a sense of responsibility inexplicably welled up in Jack's heart.
With a loud roar, gripping the water gun and wearing a wide smile, he leaped out from around the corner and unleashed a fierce counter-assault right into the faces of the incoming guests!
Though he didn't quite understand why, he suddenly felt wonderfully joyful!
On the other side, Xu Wang and the others had already dashed back to the car.
Igniting the engine, shifting gears, and accelerating, they quickly sped away from the parking lot in front of the small park.
"Hahahaha! Jason, are you happy?"
Xu Wang cheered excitedly.
Jason remained silent, but he copied Xu Wang by raising both hands high to express his current mood.
"As long as you're happy, I'm happy. It's a rare birthday, don't hold back on yourself."
Xu Wang said with satisfaction.
"But you sure held a lot of other people back."
Jenny covered her face with both hands, too weak to even make a comeback.
Although she hadn't died at Eden Lake, back there at someone else's wedding venue, Jenny had truly experienced the feeling of dying of embarrassment!
"Why say that about me? Don't you guys like the new clothes I got you?"
Xu Wang looked somewhat aggrieved by Jenny's remark.
The moment Xu Wang mentioned clothes, Jenny and Steve both looked down at the suit and wedding dress they were wearing, and then... exchanged a tacit glance.
The atmosphere inside the car suddenly grew somewhat ambiguous.
Seeing the two of them leaning closer and closer, quickly transitioning from gazing into each other's eyes to practically drooling over one another, two pieces of cake suddenly shoved their way in.
"Hey! Today is Jason's birthday, I saved both of your pieces of cake."
Xu Wang turned around, pulling two pieces of cake out from his spatial waist pouch, holding one in each hand, and extended them right in front of Steve and Jenny.
"Oh, thanks..."
With Xu Wang abruptly inserting himself into the good atmosphere, the young couple felt rather sheepish.
They quickly sat up straight, each taking a piece of cake.
Having not eaten for a while, they were indeed getting a bit hungry.
However, no sooner had they taken the cake than Steve and Jenny looked at Xu Wang—who had twisted his entire body around into the back seat—and let out a sudden scream!
They were almost scared out of their wits!
"The car! The car! The steering wheel!"
"Sit back around! You need to hold the steering wheel!"
Xu Wang had practically climbed entirely into the back seat, leaving the steering wheel completely unattended.
Realizing this, Steve and Jenny could no longer care about eating cake; their souls were practically scared flying out of their bodies!
"Don't worry, someone's steering."
Xu Wang said with absolute confidence, patting his chest vigorously.
"Huh?"
Steve and Jenny froze, tilting their bodies in unison to look toward the driver's seat.
Yet the sight that met their eyes was even more terrifying!
In the driver's seat, that husky named Tiezhu was actually gripping the steering wheel!
Hearing the screams from the back seat, it even turned its head back in confusion: "Woof?"
"Aaaah————!!!!"
On the main road, a battered convertible police car sped forward erratically.
The screams of Steve and Jenny were trailed far behind by the rushing wind!
A few minutes later...
The vehicle came to a stop, then started up again.
Only this time, Steve was the one driving.
His girlfriend was sitting in the passenger seat.
Xu Wang and Tiezhu had been banished to the back row by the thoroughly terrified young couple.
Xu Wang didn't mind at all.
Anyway, sitting in the back row, he wasn't about to idle.
First, he led the singing of "Happy Birthday" to Jason.
Then he played rock-paper-scissors with Tiezhu and Jason in the back.
Whoever lost had to wash the dishes.
After playing for a while, the restless Xu Wang grew bored again, so he began directing Steve's driving once more.
"Steve, Steve, do you see that small town ahead? Let's go play there."
"Today is Jason's birthday, eating just cake won't cut it! We need to party! Let's go to a prom! Let's go dancing!"
Xu Wang tapped Steve's shoulder repeatedly from behind.
Steve felt utterly helpless under the persistent patting.
He suddenly felt like a middle-aged father taking three children out on a trip.
"There's no prom around here, besides, it's already dark out."
"Isn't that one right there? I saw it."
With his sharp eyes, Xu Wang immediately spotted a noticeably decorated building.
Steve looked over and was left even more speechless: "That's someone's high school graduation prom. We really shouldn't go over there, people are going to think we're crashing..."
"No, we're going over. I saw an acquaintance!"
Xu Wang's expression was serious and his tone resolute.
Just outside the building's entrance, he had spotted a familiar figure stepping out of a small car.
Carrie White.
The female protagonist of Carrie.
A naturally powerful psychic!
