"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
"Dear citizens, an emergency has occurred at Carrefour Plaza. Please proceed in an orderly manner according to the safety drill... *sizzle* *sizzle*"
All the lights in the square, the ceiling lights in the corridors, and the fluorescent lights in the shops, began to flicker eerily.
Even during the day, the dimly lit Carra Square still inspires fear.
After struggling for a while, all the lights went out.
The brightness of Plaza de la Carra instantly decreased, and some areas far from the courtyard became gloomy, like ruins after all the shops had left.
Panic broke out among the crowd; children cried incessantly; some cursed; and others tried to escape.
Su Qin, Song Yuan, and Xu Xiao hid behind Li Qianxia. This place was a corner where there was no natural light, and once the lights were off, it was almost like nighttime.
"It's alright!" Li Qianxia whispered to comfort them, but her heart was clenching. She resisted the urge to run into her brother's arms, not knowing when a ghost might jump out from somewhere.
“Their goal isn’t just Li Qianxia,” Yang Qinglan continued, “They want—”
"ah!
!
"A ghost! There's a ghost!"
Anything that can reflect light—handrails, tiles, trash cans, mirrors in clothing stores, glass, televisions, mobile phones, BYD cars on display—is all dead.
His eyes were gray and lifeless, devoid of any emotion, as he looked at everyone in the square.
Behind them, on the elevator wall, stood a dead body, looking at Li Changzhou and the others.
Li Qianxia tensed up instinctively, feeling an extreme fear. She grabbed Su Qin, Song Yuan, and Xu Xiao who were holding her and fled to Li Changzhou's side.
"Don't panic, everyone! Crouch down! We're from the Special Operations Bureau, specializing in handling unusual situations. With us here, everything will be alright!"
From the fourth floor above, a voice came from the top of the floor, shouting "Before it gets dark!" The volume was so loud it was deafening.
The crowd calmed down a little, whether from comfort or simply from being intimidated by the sound, it was hard to tell.
Before it got dark, the voice continued, "If there are any players here, please come out and assist us! The Special Operations Bureau will provide appropriate rewards!"
Pale-faced, lifeless-eyed, and ulcerated corpses stood silently in every reflective mirror, watching the crowd.
The corpses were of all kinds: an old man with age spots, a bride wearing ancient embroidered shoes, a dead infant with a bluish-black body, and an old woman dressed in a burial shroud.
A chilling aura permeated the square, threatening to turn it into a morgue for the dead.
"That was their goal from the beginning!" 'Yuxi' finished his cigarette, his calm expression long gone, and shouted anxiously, "They want to take everyone in the square hostage!"
"Follow me!" Zheng Qing's eyes were sharp. She led 'Yu Xi' and summoned all the security guards in the square, rushing into the crowd.
Inside the square, the crowd began to stir again as the corpses approached them step by step, as if they were about to emerge from the mirror.
"ah!
"A man screamed in terror as a dead infant grabbed his trouser leg."
"No! I don't want to die!" The woman curled up on the ground, and an old woman in a funeral shroud looked down at her from the ceiling.
Not only sight and touch, but also smell began to be detected; for the vast majority of people, it was the first time they had ever smelled the stench of a human corpse.
"Don't panic, everyone! Trust the Special Operations Bureau!" 'Before it gets dark' shouted from above.
The bailiff, who was ignorant of the law, was sweating as he searched for the player's location and true identity.
Zheng Qing led her team to pull back the people who had been targeted by the corpses.
"Brother, what do we do now?" Li Qianxia's voice trembled.
The knocking came from behind the elevator, but there was no way anyone could be in that elevator except for Chen Zong's corpse.
This is the ghost story she's most afraid of—
Someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night. They knocked on the front door first, and before she could go out to open the bedroom door, they knocked on the bedroom door in front of her. She quickly went back to her room and hid under the covers.
When the knocking on the bedroom door stopped, she felt someone standing by the bed watching her, and then suddenly reached out and patted her blanket.
Li Qianxia shivered; there was a gap between her clothes and her skin, as if cold air was seeping into her.
“Their target is you. I’ll take you away first,” Li Changzhou said.
"I...we'll go together too!" "Yes! Take us with you!" Xu Xiao, Song Yuan, and Su Qin were so frightened that their lips turned purple, and they were on the verge of collapse amidst the knocking on the door.
They could hear not only knocking, but also rolling and gurgling sounds.
The image of Chen Zong's head rolling towards them replayed in his mind over and over again, his head still wide open! Just staring at them blankly!
"You're still so timid." Li Changzhou couldn't stand it anymore and put his arm around his sister's shoulder. Li Qianxia immediately buried her face in his chest and didn't dare to look up.
Her fear of ghosts surpasses that of ordinary people. When she was a child, she was afraid to go to the toilet alone if she didn't watch ghost movies. After watching ghost movies, she would sleep next to her grandmother for one or two months.
One day, she suddenly stopped sleeping with her grandmother and wanted to sleep with Li Changzhou instead.
Hiding under the covers, she grabbed Li Changzhou's sleeve and whispered her reason to him, saying that she was afraid her grandmother would suddenly turn into a ghost.
It turns out that some annoying boys mentioned a ghost movie about a grandmother's death during the day.
Li Changzhou would always wait for her to fall asleep before he went to sleep himself, and he would even follow her to the toilet.
Later, in order to toughen her up, Li Changzhou would take her out late at night and dress up as a ghost to scare the boys who liked to tell her ghost stories, which frightened them quite a bit.
On the way back, he lectured, "Now you're not scared anymore, right? The ghosts in the movies are all played by people. When they're filming, those people themselves burst out laughing. Wearing braces, walking around like that at their age, lying there motionless, waving around with a peach wood sword—which one isn't funny?"
