Ghost Experience Card 28
The day after Bei Feng and Xu Yuheng occupied five stores in the shopping district, new people came to the shopping district.
There are about a dozen of them, most of whom are just ordinary people who have fallen into the world of the dead for the first time.
Led all the way here by someone from a special official department.
Their condition was miserable, with injuries all over their bodies, and no one knew what they had been through.
Fortunately, they came here and finally had a place to stay for a while.
The five stores occupied by Bei Feng and Xu Yuheng suddenly became places for ordinary people to rest and stay.
This is also the reason why they are so anxious to occupy more territory as soon as possible.
The speed and number of ordinary people being pulled into the world of the dead will not slow down or decrease just because they are not fully prepared.
Tianyi didn’t know how they confirmed their connection, nor did he know how to solve the problem of ordinary people getting along with the ghosts that had “confiscated” the store.
He didn't have much interest in these things, except that occasionally when he took More and the little ghost out and passed by the shopping district, he would be attracted for a moment by the noise coming from the shopping district.
I have to say that the feeling after someone comes to the world of the dead is really different.
Especially when a lot of people gather together.
Not to mention the "lively" feeling, the place where they are is also different every day.
You have to know that the ghosts in the world of the dead, while staying obediently in their own territory, rarely take the initiative to change too many things.
It’s not that they don’t know how to do it, but in the “lifeless” world of the dead, there doesn’t seem to be that much worth changing.
But things are different when people come.
Even those who usually like to be lazy and take a break from their busy lives seem to become restless after arriving in the world of the dead.
According to Tianyi, after people came to the shopping district, the house numbers of the five occupied storefronts all returned to their original positions.
There is no longer anything hanging crookedly, swaying in the wind.
The holes were also filled.
Obviously there were not many resources and the added house numbers looked a bit shabby, but people still managed to fix up all of them with limited resources and gave them a non-mainstream unified style.
It's not just the house number, but also the store door, the furnishings inside, the layout and so on.
You don't feel much when the store hasn't been cleaned up, but after people have cleaned up the store from inside to outside to the best of their ability, the difference becomes apparent when compared with other stores that have not yet been occupied.
The five stores became the most eye-catching and beautiful ones on the entire street.
The officials didn't tell the ordinary people who stayed here to do these things, but people were busy doing them themselves.
Of course, keep quiet enough while doing it.
Everyone who can walk here alive strictly abides by the first rule of survival in the world of the dead: keep quiet.
In the process of cleaning up the store, they also got along well with the ghosts of the original store owner.
At least during the whole process, these ghosts who had forcibly requisitioned the store did not cause any trouble. They just huddled in a corner and watched the living people busying themselves.
At first, when some ghosts saw the living people crowded in their own stores doing these things, they didn't understand what the living people were doing, and some ghosts were dissatisfied with the changes to their own stores.
But after the store was completely cleaned up, the ghost who had been watching from beginning to end looked at the living people with a different look in his eyes.
You know what, these living people don’t have high martial arts skills, but they have a lot of ideas and are quite capable.
It is clearly still the same store, and the items inside have not been replaced on a large scale, but the overall feeling is different.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought that they had moved to a new location and were no longer in the original store.
The people who come here leave the ghost with the impression of being "diligent and capable", but a little too diligent.
——The living people want to clean up the old ghosts living here.
They say "wash away the old dirt and welcome a brand new future", but in fact it's just a matter of convenience. They have nothing to do for the time being, and they are a little enthusiastic.
One man even took out a fresh bath towel that was almost expired, and said, "I'm very good at rubbing mud, brother, trust me! But there's not much water, so we have to rub it dry!"
It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, it's impossible for a ghost to really let him rub it.
And the bath towel in this brother's hand makes it hard not to wonder what he was doing when he was pulled into the world of the dead that caused him to carry a bath towel with him.
They are all people who have been chased by ghosts after coming to the world of the dead, but these survivors have better adaptability to the world of the dead than those in the Tianyi phenomenon.
As time went by, more and more people disappeared from the world of the dead and returned to the world of the living after staying there for seven days, and there were also new living people brought to this place by official personnel.
And when these living people got together, they did something that surprised Tianyi, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was very reasonable.
——They started cooking.
Put the pot in front of the store to cook.
You build your own stove, bring your own pot, and light your own fire.
When the official personnel were pulled into the world of the dead, they brought with them some new supplies, which to a certain extent alleviated the shortage of supplies for ordinary people in the commercial district.
With simple and easy-to-preserve food and water, and making sure there would be no problems, people set up pots and cooked in front of the store.
The food they cook is boiled or grilled, and they try to make as little noise as possible.
It just smells really good.
When Tianyi passed by again, he smelled the extremely sweet scent of roasted sweet potatoes.
To roast sweet potatoes, all you need are sweet potatoes and fire. You don’t need to add anything else. Just control the heat well and they will be roasted to be extremely sweet.
When you hold it in your hand, you will feel it is particularly warm, as if the vague chill that is everywhere in the world of the dead has been driven away a lot.
As soon as Tianyi smelled the scent, he felt a little greedy.
Not only him, but also More, who had been curled up in his arms, moved his body, and the little ghost at his feet opened his round black eyes with white edges and looked in the direction where the fragrance came from.
Tianyi decided to go and take a look.
Then I saw a group of people running outside the door to roast sweet potatoes. They were eating the freshly baked sweet potatoes while staring at the ghosts that were gathering nearby.
Everyone was very familiar with being surrounded by ghosts, so no one said anything. They just distributed the sweet potatoes to their own ghosts - those ghosts who had requisitioned the store - and then introduced to the ghosts who gathered around how sweet and delicious their roasted sweet potatoes were.
There is rarely any expression on the ghost's face and he never speaks.
They always look gloomy and quiet, like cold statues hiding in the dark.
Being stared at by a large group of ghosts with cold and silent eyes is not a very pleasant thing, and it is also very stressful.
But the people watching managed to withstand the pressure. Even though their legs were shaking with fear, they still managed to talk and smile to the group of ghosts watching.
The main thing is to make them greedy.
Not only words, but also the focused looks of the ghosts at home who ate the roasted sweet potatoes and were immersed in the food were the best advertisement.
Tianyi who saw this: “…” Sometimes, audacious doesn’t seem like an adjective.
The living people who had been watching the ghosts for a long time finally asked, "Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, bring something to exchange, or come and help us."
After saying that, he said no more, but just shivered and ate the roasted sweet potatoes while surrounded by ghosts.
Ghosts are able to communicate.
Ghosts have needs.
Even though most of the time, the ghost who stays quietly in his own little piece of land looks like a dead otaku with no desires or even thoughts.
But when there are really "good things" that interest ghosts, ghosts are not completely indifferent.
For example, many people are chased by ghosts as soon as they arrive in the world of the dead. For example, when people roast sweet potatoes at the door, they attract so many ghosts to watch.
"Can I exchange for three roasted sweet potatoes?" Tianyi's voice came a little abruptly, startling the group of people who were silently chewing sweet potatoes.
When they turned around and saw that it was Tianyi, everyone relaxed immediately.
"It turns out to be you, Mr. Tianyi!"
"Hello, Mr. Tianyi!"
Greetings came one after another, and for a moment the tension in people's minds eased.
Those who stayed here and ate roasted sweet potatoes were all ordinary people. There was only a young man from an official special department who was hard to talk to and was huddled in a corner. His presence was even less noticeable than that of a ghost.
This group of ordinary people didn't know much about Tianyi. They had only seen Tianyi a few times after coming here, and it was Bei Feng who took the initiative to talk to Tianyi when Tianyi passed by.
People only saw that a few powerful officials were in awe and respectful of Tianyi. Tianyi, who looked like a human being, was always followed by a little ghost, and he moved around freely in the world of the dead.
Whenever Tianyi appears, the ghosts in the commercial streets become particularly well-behaved and discreet.
People even saw many times that the ghosts that they thought were scary and difficult to deal with took the initiative to help the little ghosts following Tianyi pick up their heads.
Obviously, the ghosts had no expression on their faces and their eyes were almost like those of dead people, but every time Tianyi said thank you, these ghosts revealed some indescribable emotion similar to happiness.
Tianyi is also very easy to talk to. If he sees someone in need of help when passing by, he will lend a hand.
When I see that everyone is running out of supplies and is very hungry, I will give everyone some edible food.
Of course, when Tian Yizhen gives away gifts, he doesn’t just give them to living people. Other ghosts in the shops and streets can also get some.
People who have settled here temporarily and jokingly call it a "safe zone" often wonder whether Tianyi's existence and behavior played an extremely important role in their ability to survive so smoothly here?
Anyway, apart from the area where Tianyi was active, they didn't see many "easy to talk to" and "good-tempered" ghosts.
Therefore, as soon as Tianyi appeared, he was immediately received warmly.
Tianyi, who originally just wanted to exchange for three sweet potatoes, got a big bag of sweet potatoes.
Perhaps out of joy, people simply took out all the remaining sweet potatoes in the stove and distributed them to the ghosts surrounding them.
There is no need to exchange anything for it, it is just that whoever sees it gets a share.
When Tianyi was around, people's behavior became particularly bold.
Some people would stuff a roasted sweet potato into a ghost's hand and pat its shoulder, then walk away without giving the ghost a chance to react.
After all the sweet potatoes were delivered, everyone gathered around Tianyi and chatted happily.
The tables and chairs were all set for Tianyi. Moore and Xiaogui each held a sweet potato in their hands and ate it, listening to everyone talking about their latest new plans.
It’s not really a new plan, but it is a question that almost everyone who has come to the world of the dead and is temporarily safe has asked.
"This place is so big, can we grow anything on the land?"
"What crops can survive in such low light?"
"Are there any local specialty crops? I see this tree has some, right?"
"There's no pond nearby? If all else fails, why don't we try digging a well? We won't find anything, will we?"
"Some electricity?"
"What's wrong with the electricity and water in these houses? What are the lights in those haunted houses?"
And so on.
