Chapter 8

Penulis: No Mood Nano
Laurel was the first girlfriend I brought to the village, the victim in the footage.

I was stunned. Didn't Dad tell me she was dead? How could she be here in a psychiatric hospital?

Forcing my sluggish mind to work again made me dizzy and nauseous, but Laurel's existence was like a needle driven into my brain. I could neither sleep nor eat.

Late that night, I slipped into the women's ward and found Laurel. To my surprise, she wasn't asleep either. The sight of me didn't surprise her at all.

  • My Village's Marriage Rite Turns Lovers Murderous   Chapter 8

    Laurel was the first girlfriend I brought to the village, the victim in the footage.I was stunned. Didn't Dad tell me she was dead? How could she be here in a psychiatric hospital?Forcing my sluggish mind to work again made me dizzy and nauseous, but Laurel's existence was like a needle driven into my brain. I could neither sleep nor eat.Late that night, I slipped into the women's ward and found Laurel. To my surprise, she wasn't asleep either. The sight of me didn't surprise her at all."You finally came."I stared at her blankly. "My dad told me you were dead, but… you're clearly not. How?"Laurel put a finger to her lips and pulled me into a small room around the corner of the hallway. Then, she told me something that turned my world upside down.The truth was, I had never beaten her or done anything with a pig. The surveillance footage was a deepfake.Back then, I had accidentally entered the chapel and discovered evidence of Dad's crimes. When he realized he couldn't bu

    After a long silence, the gathered onlookers urged Dad to take me away.All the hope I had rotted away.When we got back to the village, they planned to throw me into the pigpen again. I didn't resist. Only this time, I made one request."Let me into the chapel again. I just want to see it one more time. After that, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."They exchanged glances before agreeing.Inside the pitch-black vestry, the lights came on, revealing a room filled with modern surveillance equipment. One of the cameras was pointed directly at my bedroom.Dad walked over and pulled up some old footage.On the screen, a woman and I were asleep in bed. After she had fallen deeply asleep, I quietly left the room. Half an hour later, I came back with a pig and started sexually abusing it.What happened next woke the woman up. She was horrified and began screaming for someone to call the police.Having been interrupted, I flew into a rage. I grabbed her by the hair and beat h

    "What's in that chapel?" the police officer asked.I pushed myself upright with my mangled hands and stopped the police from questioning me further."There's nothing! Now stop asking me questions! Everything I said before was a lie—I made it all up! Just assume I'm crazy and leave it at that!"The officer frowned. "The doctors gave you a full examination while you were unconscious. Aside from the injuries to your brain from the fall, there's nothing wrong with you. You're perfectly sane."Your body, however, shows clear signs of years of abuse and repeated beatings. We suspect you've been threatened or coerced."I desperately tried to think of a way to convince them otherwise."I… I did it on purpose. I hate my dad, so I made up all these injuries. I faked everything. Please, don't investigate further."My reaction only made the police more suspicious.After discussing it among themselves, they insisted that Dad take them to the chapel for an inspection. I begged them repeatedl

    I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I rubbed my eyes over and over, but those things were still there.Dad and Grandpa's fists rained down on me again. This time, I didn't try to dodge. I just let them beat me. "Just kill me. You guys are right. I don't deserve to live. I don't deserve to be loved by anyone!"I closed my eyes in despair. At first, it was their fists. Then came all kinds of objects and tools."You should've died a long time ago. Why are you still here?""You should've ended yourself and saved us the shame of having to kill you!"They were right. I should just kill myself and save others the trouble.With that thought, I slowly propped myself up from the floor. "I will. Just let me go."They looked at me suspiciously. "You're not trying to use this as an excuse to escape, are you? Forget it. The whole village is watching you. No matter where you go, we'll find you and drag you back.""Exactly," Dad added. "And if you leave, we'll report you missing. The police

    Just after I finished treating my wounds, Grandpa suddenly showed up. He had cut ties with Dad long ago. He went straight to my room and froze when he saw my battered body.He turned back around and slapped Dad across the face. "Are you even human? How can you treat your son like this? You'd better give me an explanation today, or I swear I won't let this go!"Dad tried to explain, but I couldn't let Grandpa hear him. I hurriedly grabbed Grandpa's hand."Grandpa, I know you're only trying to protect me, but please promise me you won't go into the chapel, okay?""I promise you. Don't worry," he said, squeezing my hand. "I don't care about the chapel. I only care about your safety."He sighed as tears streamed down his weathered face. "I failed to raise my son right. I ended up raising a monster. Don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll get you out of here."I buried my face in Grandpa's arms and cried my heart out. "Grandpa, whatever you do, don't go into the chapel…"He swore. "I promise you

    No matter what the police asked, my family refused to come clean."It's a custom in our village. He agreed to bring them inside to pay their respects. Whatever happens after that is beyond our control.""Yeah. Everything is fate."My friend, Stewart Langley, who had come with the police, saw the injuries covering my body and nearly exploded with rage. He stormed over and grabbed Dad by the collar."He's your son! How could you lay a hand on him like that? Isn't your whole village supposed to be backward and superstitious? Have you ever thought about who will perform the funeral rites for you when you die?"If you beat him to death now, who's going to bury you when you're old? If you don't want him as your son, stop dragging him back every time he leaves! You bring him home, only to treat him like an animal. You're a fucking disgrace!"Like me, Stewart couldn't understand why Dad wanted me dead yet refused to let me leave. The police also kept pressing Dad for an explanation.An
