New Times, New Hell

Although the hanged ghost still looked so scary, after seeing her even less courageous than himself, it was really hard for Gao Duidu to recall the panic he felt at the beginning.

He got up resentfully, and looked at the children with a smile: "My friends, thank you for helping me just now."

The little girl turned around: "You're welcome, my brother taught me to do good things when I go out."

She looked absolutely adorable in a princess dress of the same style as Queen Elsa.

Gao Duidu was suddenly cute, and he held his face and said, "Wow, kid, you are a little fairy, right?"

"No." The little girl shook her head and said seriously, "I'm Little Belly Fairy."

The little boy in a pumpkin suit next to him said grimly, "I'm Gumantong."

The little girl added: "He is a Thai immigrant."

Another man dressed in black and holding a sword followed suit, "I am Salmon."

After the three of them finished speaking, a leisurely voice suddenly came from the direction of the big tree: "I am humble..."

Gao Duisui turned his head and saw a long-haired girl hiding behind a tree trunk, poking her head out shyly.

Gao Duupuo nodded to her politely: "Hello."

The girl's face slumped when she heard the words, and she shrank back suddenly.

Just heard the kid who cos salmon said: "Oh, don't talk to her, she will feel inferior."

Gao Yuyue: "????"

"Brother, your phone has dropped." The little girl pointed to a distance away.

"Oh, yes." Only then did Gao Dui remember that he was still in the live broadcast, and hurriedly picked up his phone, and wanted to thank the children after picking it up, but when he turned around, he found that all the children had disappeared.

Gao Duyue: ...Are children nowadays running so fast?And there was no sound at all.

He scratched his head and didn't have time to think about it. He quickly went to see the situation in the live broadcast room. He was shocked when he saw it. His popularity in the live broadcast room had already jumped to the top, becoming the No. [-] in the live broadcast at the same time. .

Gao Duisui looked at the barrage and the backstage in a daze, only to understand what happened.

It turned out that after my fall just now, the audience didn't see the follow-up, and they all thought he had really hit a ghost. This was the first time a real supernatural anchor had hit a ghost live, and it was the legendary ghost who hanged himself wearing a red dress and red shoes. the ghost.

The popularity of his live broadcast tonight was already high, and this collision directly exploded a topic. Not only did the platform put a cover for him on the homepage, but other social platforms also had netizens spontaneously linking up. Screenshots of the pair of red high heels and pale legs It has already been flying all over the sky, successfully scared many netizens to tears, and more people came after hearing the news, waiting to see the follow-up.

The bullet screen is also full of messages anxiously waiting for his reply:

[Yes, are you okay? 】

[Fuck, fuck, I was really scared to cry]

【what to do?Do you want to call the police? 】

【Wait, it's only been a few minutes, I don't know what happened...】

[How to call the police?Did you say you hit a ghost? 】

Gao Duidui quickly pointed the camera at his face: "Everyone, don't be nervous, I'm fine."

The bullet screen was instantly relieved, and they turned to ask him about the specific situation.

Gao was embarrassed for a while, and didn't know how to explain to the audience for a while, so he raised his head and explained the situation to the hanged ghost, asking if he could be in the scene with him.

The hanging ghost's eyeballs slowly rolled down, and his face was cold. Gao Duidui thought she was unwilling, and was about to say no, don't force it, when she heard her slowly say: "Shoot from the left side, my left side looks better."

Gao Duyue: "...Okay."

After he finished speaking, he raised his phone, and while taking pictures of the hanged ghost, he explained to the audience: "Actually, it wasn't a ghost hit just now, she is also a member of the park, everyone, take a look..."

In the shot, the Hanged Man shows a sinister death smile at the audience.

Barrage:

【? ? ? 】

[…………………………… Fuck! ! ! 】

[Yes, you have been deceived!This is obviously a ghost! ! 】

【I'm overwhelmed by this garden fair...】

[Actors can hang on trees like this?Haven't seen Wia? ? ? ? 】

【Even if it was fake, I was scared to cry...】

The audience never expected that the story of this ghost encounter would go in such a way. For a while, some people scolded passionately, and some still couldn't control their fear. But no matter what, this live broadcast was a complete explosion. Gao Dui Dui and the popularity of the garden party have all gone out of the circle together.

Especially the screenshot of Hanged Ghost's calf wearing red high heels, and her sinister smile, are frequent visitors in various horror posts later...

Of course, these two screenshots can still fool passers-by who don't know the truth, because after that, Gao Duiduo began to chat easily with the hanged ghost in front of the camera. The hanged ghost is also quite talkative, and will Interact with friends.

"I was hanged more than ten years ago. I was hurt because of love. Oh, it's really not worth it. After I died, that bitch found a new love without being sad for a long time..."

"It's actually useless to hang yourself in red clothes and red shoes, because there are strict regulations in the underworld, and you can't take revenge on people in the underworld..."

"Can you find your deceased relatives here? No, there are rules. Ghosts who have been dead for less than ten years must make up and change their appearance. Otherwise, it will be a mess..."

"The most worthwhile thing to buy in the ghost market. I recommend the calligraphy written by the uncle at the seventh booth. He seems to be a very famous calligrapher when he was alive. Those calligraphy should be quite valuable..."

The audience laughed crazy while interacting with her:

[Miss 233333 is too dedicated, and the degree of participation in the play is well received]

[I heard before that foreign amusement parks require the staff to immerse themselves in the plot at any time and not to play, so that tourists feel as if they are really in a fairy tale world. I didn’t expect that we also have this kind in China]

[That's right, I almost believed that Miss Sister really hanged herself]

[There is also a setting that perfectly avoids bugs. I believe that no one will encounter a familiar ghost because the newly dead ones can't use their real faces 2333]

[The well-known late calligrapher hahaha... The world plot of this garden fair is really complete, I love it]

Everyone was chatting happily, when suddenly there was a commotion from the Eight Scenic Spots of Yinshan Mountain, Gao Duui turned his head to look, and saw the crowd began to rush there densely, and the hanged ghost also took a look and said: "Oh, the parade is going to be done." here we go."

Gao asked in surprise, "Is there still a parade?"

Hanged ghost: "Yes, the gates of ghosts are wide open at Zishi, and hundreds of ghosts travel at night."

Gao Duixue was immediately moved. Although the audience was reluctant to hang Ms. Hanged Ghost, they also wanted to watch the parade. This was a rare opportunity, so they reluctantly bid farewell to Hanged Ghost and ran towards the gate of the ghost.

Gao Duidui arrived a little late. When he was cruising the main road, both sides of the road were already crowded with tourists. In addition, there were strange staff members maintaining order and ensuring the smooth flow of the route.

Gao Yuyue had no choice but to find a seat near the front of the Naihe bridge with great difficulty, and set the direction of the camera. Fortunately, the parade officially started after he got his mobile phone ready.

There was only a loud bang of "bang--", and a thick smoke rose into the air in the distance. With the lively and loud sound of firecrackers, the team slowly walked out of the thick smoke.

The Ghost Festival parade officially begins.

Gao Duidui had learned about the customs of the Ghost Festival before, and he used all his knowledge in this meeting. He explained to the audience while watching: "This is called burning incense and burning cannons, and there are also those called burning buns..."

A young man next to him who didn't understand these things was also asking the staff what it was, and the staff patiently explained it one by one.

It turned out that the first half of the parade was the interpretation of the customs of the Hungry Ghost Festival. In addition to burning incense and burning cannons, there were also performances such as offering sacrifices to the land.

The team is very long, and each section has different costumes and equipment, corresponding to different themes. Every time a certain distance is paraded, the corresponding theme will stop at the venue that has been cleared in advance, and the corresponding performance activities will begin.

Gao Duisui was located at the head of Naihe Bridge. After the team of jumping sky lanterns and praying for a good harvest passed by, he saw a group of girls in narrow-sleeved shirts walking slowly.

The girls have beautiful faces, dressed in Luoqi skirts and hairpins, with light makeup and heavy makeup, and they move lightly with the flowers and willows and lotus steps, which makes the tourists shout and feel pleasing.

Holding lotus-shaped river lanterns in their hands, they lined up at the head of the Naihe Bridge, and gently put the river lanterns into the Naihe River with the accompaniment of the zither.

Gao Dui explained to the audience: "River Lantern Festival is an important folk activity in the Ghost Festival, also known as 'River Lantern Dugu'. It is generally believed that it evolved from the custom of lighting lanterns during the Lantern Festival. Yes, because Shangyuan is Human Festival, lanterns are lit on land, while Zhongyuan is Ghost Festival, so lanterns are put in water..."

Folks believe that humans are yang, ghosts are yin, land is yang, and water is yin.

The underwater world is mysterious and gloomy, like a ghostly hell, where ghosts perish.

The purpose of releasing river lanterns is to pray and pray. People believe that ghosts in the dark world can be reborn by holding a river lantern.

The audience in the live broadcast room listened to Gao Duyue's explanation, followed the camera to see the situation on the Nai River.

Speaking of which, the Nai River in this garden fair is also very strange. There is actually no river here, but the organizers don’t know what materials they used to create the feeling of river water. After a closer look, it seems to be a visual effect caused by some kind of special lighting.

But at this time through the lens, it seems to be a real river. The difference is that the river water is so thick that it is almost viscous, black and red, and further away, it seems that there are rolling waves.

It is said that the Nai River is a stream of evil water flowing out of the Nether Sea. It is a vast black water with rolling red waves, either as cold as ice or as burning as fire.

At this time, the river lantern slowly drifted away, and the dense lights covered the river surface, faintly illuminating the world below the river.

It seems that there are ghosts sinking, and there seem to be evil spirits struggling.

It makes people in the world feel compassion and sigh.

For a moment, not only the tourists at the scene, but also the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Of course, more is to praise the organizer for its good special effects.

Further away, at the place near the ghost gate, Shang Que was also explaining these customs that have been passed down for thousands of years with Yu Zhengdu.

There were much more tourists than they had expected. Even in the middle of the night, the number of people who came after hearing the news did not decrease at all. Both sides of the parade avenue were crowded with people. Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que stood side by side at the beginning. It was getting more and more crowded, and the two of them were forced to fold half of their bodies together.

Shang Que was afraid that Yu Zhengdu would be knocked down again, so he put his arm on Yu Zhengdu's waist.

Yu Zhengdu was a little embarrassed, but soon the first half of the parade ended, and the time was just around midnight, when the Ghost Festival officially arrived.

In the depths of the night came a long and deep voice:

"July in the world, the local officials forgive sins—"

"The underground palace opens the door, the soul lamp leads the way—"

"Hundred ghosts travel at night, strangers avoid—"

"amnesty--"

The voice was vast and far away, and it didn't know where it came from, but it passed into everyone's ears deeply.

Immediately afterwards, with a deep "squeak——" sound, the magnificent and heavy gate of the ghost gate slowly opened, and a thick smoke overflowed from the dark door, but in an instant, the audience suddenly felt trapped. The feeling of the nether world.

As the gate opened and the smoke drifted away, lights suddenly appeared in the door. After a while, everyone finally saw what those lights were.

Countless Kongming lanterns flew out from the door, just like the soft drink at the beginning, it was the soul lanterns leading the way for all ghosts.

The soul lamp flew into the night sky, and inside the gate of ghosts, there was a loud "slam—" sound.

The Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts has officially begun.

It turned out that some tourists who were drowsy as if they had sunk into the nether world suddenly became restless, shouted enthusiastically, and frantically moved their heads forward, for fear of missing the grand scene.

Then Yu Zhengdu, who was a little embarrassed because of being supported, threw himself on the street and threw himself into Shang Que's arms.

He looked up and saw that Shang Que didn't look unhappy, so he simply rubbed against his chest carelessly, and said, "Xiao Shang, protect me quickly, I'll see if I can go back tonight in one piece!"

Shang Que smiled suddenly, and said "um", the hand that was only held in vain, suddenly became firm.

The two leaned together, forming a world of their own among the noisy crowd, and seemed to quiet down all of a sudden.

Yu Zhengdu couldn't tell what mood he was in for a while, he just looked up.

Pulled by the soul lamp, the thick smoke at the gate of ghosts completely dissipated, and the first figure appeared.

I saw four short spirits walking out unsteadily, carrying a shoulder-carrying sedan chair without a roof, and a young woman with a beautiful face and a slim figure, with her fragrant shoulders slightly exposed, was very charming. Leaning on the chair, she rolled her eyes and looked at the crowd lightly. The slender eye tails seemed to be mesmerizing, and instantly aroused cheers from the crowd.

The obscene male was the first to shout out loudly: "Beauty—look here—"

Sure enough, the beautiful woman on the sedan chair had a smile on her mouth, and she glanced over faintly. There was a burst of wolf howling in that area, and the low-quality ones even began to speak obscenities, which attracted the dissatisfied sideways glances of other tourists, and some tourists couldn't help frowning— ——Hundred ghosts at night, why is it like this image?

However, before their doubts were uttered, they saw the beautiful woman swinging her waist, her body softly turned to the group of people who spoke freely. The group of people became even more excited and whistled wildly. pounce on.

Then the next moment, I saw the beautiful woman holding her forehead with both hands, twisting the corner of her face with her fingertips, tearing it lightly, and slowly pulling her hands down—just like that, she peeled off her face and the skin on her neck and chest.

Under the skin is a bone covered with snakes, rats, insects and ants.

The first ghost to appear: Huapi.

Halfway through the whistling of the men with lewd eyes, they were so frightened by the sudden change that their mouths opened wide, and they could no longer make a sound. Those who were less able to bear it had their chests throbbing on the spot, and they spit it out and sprayed it. All the companions next to him.

On the contrary, those tourists who couldn't understand their style immediately applauded wildly, applauding thunderously, for this change, and for this performance.

Shang Que looked at the first painted skin, and went to Yu Zhengdu: "What's your idea?"

Yu Zhengdu nodded, "hee hee" said with a smile: "Originally, according to the normal order, the fox ghost should be the first to appear on the stage, but I think the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts is the highlight, and it is necessary to grab the tourists' attention from the very beginning. It fits the bill.”

Shang Que nodded.

Painted skin has both human and ghost, beauty and ugliness qualities, and has a surprising reversal effect, which is really easy to catch the eye.

The most important thing is that due to the influence of film culture, Huapi is also well-known among the public, and he is a well-deserved traffic star in the ghost world.

Sure enough, after the cool performance of Painted Skin, the tourists were completely excited.

After painting the skin, the group of ghosts officially appeared.

I saw dense numbers of ghosts rushing out, with all kinds of strange things and different shapes. They couldn't tell the horror, and they couldn't tell the strangeness. Accompanied by the faint smoke, they just poured into everyone's sight in the cold night wind. .

Like a three-year-old child, with red eyes, long ears, black and red body, and the voice that can confuse people's hearts, they are sprites;

Those who are shrouded in strong wind and heavy rain, roaring in their mouths and emitting black and purple smoke are sword labor ghosts;

There are those who wear bright clothes and whose hair stands upright like needles, they are unkempt ghosts;

There are two horns on the forehead, beautiful and cold, and the one who looks down at the tourists with disdain is the dragon girl;

There are Qilang, Yasha, Rakshasa, Soul-stricken Bird, Jealousy God, Needle-Mouth Hungry Ghost, Spit-eating Ghost, Ghost Who Lives in Unclean Alleys...

……

There are all kinds of ghosts, or striding forward, or dragging iron chains, or skirts and hairpins, or clothes in rags;

Or there is ecstasy on the face, as if crawling out of hell to finally see the world, or desolation in the eyes, as if there is nowhere to return to a stranger in the world...

All kinds of images that used to only appear in folk tales, TV movies, and picture album legends, just like this, one by one, in groups, emerge before my eyes.

Hundreds of ghosts whistling, accompanied by gusts of wind, accompanied by whimpers and wailing sounds that seemed to come from the nether hell.

Hundreds of ghosts is of course just a generalization, the gate of ghosts is wide open, and there are more than thousands of ghosts and ghosts on the Yinyang Road. On Yangjian Avenue.

Some cling to poor-quality Chuqian on Poqian Mountain, some are chased and bitten by wild dogs in Evil Dog Village, and some perish and struggle in the blood-stained pool.

It is the various forms of the underworld, and why is it not the various forms of the world.

Tourists are shocked by the image of the ghosts, and touched by various scenes, some are frantic and excited, and some are drowsy as if they are behind them.

At this moment, the worlds of Yin and Yang are completely blended together.

Above the Nai River, the lotus lantern goes with the water...

Hundreds of ghosts passed by on the parade road in a mighty way, and slowly disappeared from the sight of tourists.

However, those scenes are deeply engraved in everyone's memory.

It was also engraved into Yu Zhengdu's heart. He looked at the three children and a girl who were happily parading together in the team, and silently glanced at Shang Que: "That seems to be Peggy and Salmon..."

Shang Que said calmly: "They are also ghosts, walking at night together is not against the regulations."

Yu Zhengdu: "...you are right!"

A leisurely voice came from the distant place: "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is officially over, and the garden fair will continue to open until the Ghost Festival officially ends. Visitors can continue to move around freely. Please pay attention to safety and be careful..."

The tourists woke up from the shock and trance, gathered together excitedly to discuss the past cruise, and shared photos and small videos with each other.

It's going to be a sleepless night for everyone.

For their circle of friends, the carnival has just begun.

Gao Duisui also managed to recover from the shock, watching the crazy increase in popularity and barrage in the live broadcast room, he felt that his career had reached its peak at this moment.

"It's too powerful, it's too powerful—" At this point, he only had this sentence left, but no one in the live broadcast room disliked his lack of vocabulary, on the contrary, everyone understood him very well.

After all, the vocabulary of the barrage now is amazingly single, all of them are: Fuck!Awesome!

Gao Dui was so excited that he couldn't help but walked along the parade avenue again. When the tourists dispersed, he finally had the opportunity to walk to the gate of ghosts. He held up his mobile phone and carefully took pictures of the gate of ghosts, so that the audience could see the ghost gate clearly. out of place.

After he finished filming, the tourists around him had almost dispersed, and he was about to walk back, when suddenly there was a low "huhu——" sound in his ear.

Gao Dui was puzzled, and when he looked back, he saw a small thing suddenly popping out of the majestic gate of hell.

With one foot turned back, body covered with black hair, and a long pointed mouth, just so lonely, he jumped out.

Gao Duiduo was taken aback immediately: "Ah, there is a mandrill here."

The mandrill is also a kind of ghost, and it is relatively common, and its image is easy to recognize, so Gao Duiduo recognized it immediately.

There were too many ghosts in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk just past, and he couldn't remember for a moment whether there was a mandrill among the Hundred Ghosts. Could it be that they were just left alone?

Gao Dui was curious, so he moved closer to have a look, just in time the mandrill also raised its head suddenly, it was unbelievable, it turned out to be a pair of red eyes. Jump.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)""

"It's not a human costume, nor a model—it's real—it's real—" Gao Duidui was horrified, and many thoughts flooded his mind in an instant.

This mandrill is real, but what about the Hundred Ghosts at Night? ? ?

And those realistic ghosts...

At this moment, Gao Duixuan felt that his worldview was crumbling.

At this moment, another young man ran out from the gate of hell, rushed up and grabbed the mandrill.

"Running around again!" Zheng Yan was about to yell, but when he looked up, he saw the terrified Gao Duidui.

Zheng Yan: "..."

Gao Duiduo pointed to the mandrill in his hand and yelled incoherently: "That's a ghost, it's a ghost—"

Zheng Yan calmly stood up straight, raised the mandrill and said, "You read it wrong, this is a high-fidelity toy."

Gao Yuyue: "...???"

With an expression of "you're kidding me", Gao said, "It, it, it can move, and it even stared at me—"

"It's electric." Zheng Yan pushed the mandrill forward and said, "If you don't believe me, come and have a look, it's just very realistic."

As he spoke, he pinched the mandrill vigorously, implying that it was sensible.

Mandrill: "..."

Under Zheng Yan's extremely sincere eyes, Gao Dui gradually doubted his own judgment. After a while, he finally overcame his psychological barrier and slowly leaned over.

I saw that the mandrill held in Zheng Yan's hand did not move at all. Although the pair of red eyes were terrifying, but looking at them now, they were indeed hollow and lifeless, like plastic.

"It's really a simulated toy?" Gao Duidui exclaimed, stretched out his hand to pinch the mandrill's arms and belly, and said excitedly, "It's so realistic, where did you buy it?"

Zheng Yan didn't change his face: "The factory has closed down."

Gao Dui expressed regret, and tugged on the mandrill's single leg again: "Why is it not moving?"

Zheng Yan: "Oh, the battery is out."

Mandrill: "..."

Wronged, but dare not move.

The author has something to say: The information in this chapter mainly refers to "Talking about Ghosts" and Baidu.

"It is said that the Nai River is a stream of evil water flowing out of the Nether Sea. It is a vast black water with rolling red waves. It may be as cold as ice or as burning as fire. Each person has his or her own karma, and each has its own depth." This paragraph is directly quoted from the book , the original sentence should be from Ding Yaokang's "Continuation of Jin Ping Mei"
