Summer sky soars in the night sky, overlooking the nightscape of Lin'an City.
The lights were still dim, but there were far fewer pedestrians on the street than usual.
Although the strange occurrences did not happen frequently, they still caused many casualties. With the internet so developed now, even if the authorities control public opinion, a lot of information still circulates online.
In particular, the disappearance of tens of thousands of people in Jiuhua City overnight, with no news to this day, has spread not only domestically but also internationally.
Everyone panicked, and various versions of apocalyptic theories began to circulate.
Xia Tianqiong recalled her memories of her previous life. After tonight, the authorities would be unable to withstand the pressure and would announce to the public the fact that the strange phenomenon had occurred.
They also released some strange information.
Starting tomorrow, the entire nation will be plunged into panic and chaos, marking the beginning of an era of nationwide ghost hunting.
However, most people are hunted by the supernatural, and only a few can successfully hunt the supernatural and become supernatural hunters.
Fortunately, the strange occurrences were a gradual process.
Unlike the zombie apocalypse depicted in movies, where countless people die and social order completely collapses in just a few days, it's not like the zombie apocalypse depicted in movies.
In the early stages of the arrival of the supernatural, the number of supernatural beings descending upon the human world was not too large, and their level was not high. They were mainly wild and fierce supernatural beings.
The Bureau of Supernatural Affairs and various ancient families are actively hunting down supernatural beings. Although there is widespread panic and some chaos, social order is still maintained, and production and business activities can be barely sustained.
However, as time went on, the number of strange occurrences descending upon the human world continued to increase, with the proportion of high-level strange occurrences also increasing.
When numerous malevolent and dangerous creatures appeared, the Administration Bureau gradually became overwhelmed, casualties increased sharply, and social order gradually collapsed.
When the Demon Generals and Demon Kings appeared in the human world, turning human cities into cities of demons, social order finally collapsed completely.
Official forces were no longer sufficient to protect all citizens, so civilian ghost hunters spontaneously built small shelters to protect a limited number of people.
When that time comes, humans will fight each other for food and territory; that will be the true end of the world.
In his previous life, Xia Tianqiong lived until the shelter was first established; as for what happened afterward, he had no idea.
"Huh? Where's that meaty smell coming from?"
He was flying in the night sky when he suddenly smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
Looking down, I soon saw someone selling barbecue skewers at the intersection below.
When everyone is in a state of panic, and no one dares to go out, there are still people who dare to set up stalls!
Xia Tianqiong was a little hungry, so she decided to eat something here.
He landed in a deserted place and then walked towards the barbecue stall at the intersection.
This is a simple tricycle with a charcoal grill on it, and four small square tables and a row of small stools next to it.
The owner was a middle-aged man with a stubble beard. He immediately greeted anyone who passed by.
"Whatever you want to eat, it's all fresh, and we're having a sale today."
"Ten skewers each of beef and mutton, two lamb kidneys, a pair of chicken wings, and five skewers of pork shoulder..."
Xia Tianqiong ordered some food casually and then found a table to sit down.
"Boss, nobody dares to go out these days, why are you still setting up a stall here?"
“What can I do if I don’t set up a stall? My whole family is waiting for me to earn money. I don’t know what’s going on, but a lot of people are saying they’ve encountered ghosts, which has made everyone panic. I haven’t earned any money these past two days.”
Xia Tianqiong found the beer crate by herself, took out a bottle, bit it open with her teeth, and started drinking.
"Everyone online is saying the apocalypse is coming, and there are ghosts and monsters killing people. Aren't you afraid?"
"I don't care about ghosts or monsters. If I don't go out and earn money, my whole family will starve to death."
The owner skillfully grilled skewers while chatting with Xia Tianqiong, "It's good that the ghost came. It means there's another world after death. As long as I won't be a poor ghost after death, I'd rather die."
The boss's tone conveyed a sense of detachment from life and death, but in reality, it reflected a sense of helplessness towards life.
Xia Tianqiong was suddenly moved.
This boss, like him, is from the bottom of society, constantly struggling to survive.
In his previous life, whether before or after the arrival of the supernatural, he lived a very difficult life.
It's not that he doesn't work hard, but that he doesn't have the opportunity, or rather, there are too few opportunities and too much competition.
Even when collecting recyclables, you have to be quick and nimble, otherwise you won't even be able to grab a bottle.
"Boss, I have some friends coming over, so just keep grilling, we'll eat as much as you grill."
"real?"
The boss was overjoyed, a smile spreading across his oily face.
"Don't worry about grilling them, they're nearby, I'll go pick them up."
Xia Tianqiong decided to do a good deed and support the boss's business.
He got up and walked to the other side of the intersection, where the boss couldn't see him, and released Jiang Yu, the delivery ghost, and the seven waiters from the mirror space.
"Come on, I'll treat you to some barbecue skewers!"
The little girl frowned and said, "Master, we don't usually eat human food."
"Shut up, eat what I tell you to eat. Also, don't call me master outside, call me... call me boss. All of you, act like human beings. If anyone gives themselves away, I'll punish them."
The Hanging Ghost was not released; its dead fish eyes clearly indicated it wasn't human, and it couldn't even pretend to be.
The Mirror Ghost is a member of the Mirror Ghost Clan. It cannot leave the mirror for long periods of time, and it has not been released.
Oh, and there's also a ghost baby.
This creature rarely appears because it always stays inside Xia Tianqiong's body, unwilling to enter the mirror space, and dislikes communicating with other strange entities.
Xia Tianqiong, accompanied by one person and eight ghosts, returned to the barbecue stall.
When the boss saw so many people, he couldn't stop smiling.
Before long, a bunch of skewers were served.
