I Heard That I'll Be Super Fierce After My Death 6 Matchmaker

Lin Wu's pupils contracted. He was about to turn his head when he felt an eerie chill rapidly permeating out. It was a bone-chilling coldness that seemed to reach right to the bottom of one's heart, causing his entire body to instantly stiffen up.

This wasn't the first time he had experienced this.

One hour ago, he had also experienced a terrifying feeling as if he was being peeped on by a pair of eyes. 

"Zzzzz."

The chaotic sound of electric currents rang out softly, and the ceiling light flickered. The television's light also became increasingly darker.

Li Luyao was so terrified that she was leaning in Lin Wu's embrace, burying her pale beautiful face into his chest, not daring to look up at all. Her shoulders kept on trembling.

"Ghost?"

Lin Wu took in a deep breath, summoning up his courage and forcibly turning his extremely stiffened neck, inching his head slowly toward the back.

However, there was nothing there.

At the same time, that compelling eeriness also disappeared.

Lin Wu slightly heaved out a sigh of relief, then turned his head and asked, "Li Luyao, is that thing which put on the ring for you... still around?"

"I, I don't know..." Li Luyao's voice was trembling, and she was still shaking in Lin Wu's embrace, not daring to look up at all.

Lin Wu frowned slightly and said in a soft voice, "Don't be scared. She seems to be gone."

"Gone?"

Li Luyao raised her head while trembling, her hands grabbing tightly onto Lin Wu's clothes as she took a careful look behind him. It was after taking a look around that she seemed as if she had just survived a life or death ordeal. She fell limply into Lin Wu's embrace, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

Although there was a beauty in his arms, and the soft and fragrant feeling was quite good, this wasn't the time to enjoy this.

Lin Wu gently pushed Li Luyao away, letting her lean against the bed's headboard, then asked, "Who is the one who gave you the ring?"

Li Luyao didn't reply and just closed her eyes. She looked up and panted softly for a while before calming down slightly.

"Human?"

She turned and looked at Lin Wu. A hint of fatigue gleamed in her beautiful eyes as she shook her head slightly and said, "You might not believe it, but the one that gave me the ring isn't human."

"I believe you." Lin Wu nodded.

Li Luyao couldn't help but pause for a moment, feeling stunned. She asked, "You really believe me?"

"After you gave me the ring, I put it in my trouser's pocket. The pocket is very deep, and it's impossible for me to lose it."

Lin Wu frowned and said, "All this time, I have always been with you. If you stole it, it's impossible for me to not realize it. Since it wasn't you, and there isn't a third person in the room, then this can only mean that the one that took the ring... isn't human."

Li Luyao listened to his a.n.a.lysis and fell silent for a moment, asking softly, "Lin Wu, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

Lin Wu nodded gently. "I didn't in the past, but I do now."

If the only incident was just the eerie experience with Li Luyao's ring, then he would suspect that there were other reasons as well.

However, it was impossible for that feeling of being encased in ice to be fake. Moreover, there was also the reader 'I have returned', who kept on overriding the system's screening. Right now, he naturally believed in the existence of ghosts.

"It's good that you believe it."

Li Luyao bit her lips and then glanced at the television screen.

Right now, it was already 86 minutes into the World Cup's final match. The match would be over in a few minutes.

The score was still 4:2.

"Although the current score is 4:2 and the match isn't over yet, do you believe that I'm a reincarnator? "

Lin Wu sighed and nodded. "I believe you."

Li Luyao wore an expression of delight and sat up, putting out her hands to grab Lin Wu's hand. She looked at him with a hint of agitation in her beautiful eyes and said in a soft voice, "Since you believe in my words, then let's go and get married tomorrow."

"That can't do." Lin Wu shook his head without hesitation.

"Why?"

Li Luyao was stunned slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything about me that you think isn't good? Or do you think that I'm lying to you about something? Although I don't come from a very rich family, I do have some a.s.sets that can at least a.s.sure that we won't have to worry about our lives. There's nothing that I seek to get from you."

"This isn't the problem." Lin Wu shook his head. "Even if you're a reincarnator and the two of us will get married in the future, I have the feeling that there's no love between us. You don't like me, and I might not like you either, so why do you still want to get married to me?"

Li Luyao asked in a soft voice, "You don't like me? Are you unsatisfied with me?"

"I'm quite satisfied."

Lin Wu nodded and then said calmly, "But feeling satisfied doesn't mean that I like you. I'm just purely admiring a beautiful lady. It can't possibly be that I'll marry you just because you're beautiful? If I'm that kind of person, aren't you afraid that... if I were to meet someone more beautiful, then I'll have a change of heart in an instant?"

Li Luyao bit her lips and couldn't help but ask, "But, didn't you say earlier that... any female will do? Am I not good enough?"

"It was just a joke." Lin Wu rolled his eyes at her. "How can it be like that when one is looking for a girlfriend? Don't you have any expectations for your boyfriend?"

"I have." Li Luyao nodded.

"Oh? What are they?" Lin Wu seemed a little interested.

Li Luyao looked at him and said seriously, "I have only one requirement when looking for a boyfriend... It must be you."

"..."

Lin Wu was speechless.

This lady was bent on her decision!

"Hold on for a minute. Let's get things sorted out."

Lin Wu put his hand to his head, feeling a bit troubled as he asked, "Why don't you say what you like about me? Why are you bent on getting married to me?"

Li Luyao said in a soft voice, "I told you. If I don't get married to you, I'll die."

"If you don't get married to me, you'll die? Why?" Lin Wu asked, "Could it be that the ghost from earlier is forcing you to marry me?"

Li Luyao bit her lips and silently nodded.

"That's really the case..."

Lin Wu's expression turned strange. "That ghost from earlier can't be my relative, right? Why is it forcing you to marry me? Could it be my deceased grandmother? But my grandmother didn't dote on me either..."

Li Luyao shook her head and said, "That's not it. She's just... a matchmaker."

"Matchmaker?" Lin Wu asked, feeling perplexed.

"All ghosts have their obsessions, and most of these obsessions are formed based on their experiences when they were alive."

Li Luyao's expression sank and she said softly, "The reason the female ghost who gave me the ring is called the 'matchmaker' is because her obsession is to tie couples together. Once a marriage is tied through her, the couple can't be parted even if they were to die."

Lin Wu was stunned. He frowned and said, "But we've only gotten to know each other after you got reincarnated. We hadn't gotten a matchmaker to tie the knot for us. Why did that matchmaker insist that you get married to me? Even if in the future... Hmmm?"

Lin Wu paused midway, and an unbelievable thought flashed in his mind. He couldn't help but ask, "You mean that matchmaker has also been reincarnated?"

Li Luyao nodded gently and said in a soft voice, "This is the only possibility. The matchmaker's reincarnation timing should be just a few days later than mine. I was reincarnated a week ago, and I thought that I had been the only one. But two days ago, this familiar ring appeared on my hand. This is the love token that the matchmaker pa.s.sed to me on your behalf. Moreover, I saw that the matchmaker had appeared as well. This means that our marriage affinity is still there. That's why I was sure that... she has also been reincarnated."

"To think that she was also reincarnated..." Lin Wu frowned slightly.

It was one thing for Li Luyao, a living person, to be reincarnated. That reader who had left comments for his book had also been reincarnated from the future.

But to think that even this ghost called 'matchmaker' had also been reincarnated?

Was this a coincidence?

Lin Wu felt increasingly perplexed.

"Also?"

Li Luyao was first stunned, but she immediately interpreted it as Lin Wu was referring it to both her and the matchmaker. She said, "Before I was reincarnated, I had gotten someone to ask for the matchmaker's help to talk about our marriage. Although I was too scared back then and didn't dare to look at her, I remember her voice very clearly. In addition to this silver ring, which I have no idea where it came from, I'm sure that she is the matchmaker."

Lin Wu frowned, and he couldn't help but ask, "But, why do we have to find a ghost to help us tie the knot?"

Li Luyao fell silent for a moment before she looked at him, saying in a soft voice, "It's because... it's a netherworld marriage."
