When Xu Zhaozhao saw a long-haired ghost holding a "Welcome" sign emerge from the hole in the doorway.
His face was still covered in blood, but his voice was ethereal and powerful: "Welcome to the 'City of a Hundred Ghosts'."
Her resolve lasted no more than three seconds before Xu Zhaozhao immediately turned and buried herself in Gu Qingyan's arms, still trembling.
"Holy crap, why did they have to make it so realistic?!"
As night fell, these ghosts could scare Xu Zhaozhao to death.
Afraid of the dark, afraid of ghosts, afraid of thunderstorms, Xu Zhaozhao is grateful that it didn't rain today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to walk at all.
Gu Qingyan looked down at the person in his arms and patted her head. "It's okay. Once you put on makeup, you'll be one of them."
She heard him chuckle and add, "Ghosts won't hurt other ghosts."
To enter this "City of a Hundred Ghosts," you must first put on makeup and wear the costume of the role you want to play.
Because of their special status, Gu Qingyan booked a private dressing room and told them to just contact the staff to bring them whatever they wanted to wear.
Although Xu Zhaozhao had the courage to walk with her head up, she dared not let go of Gu Qingyan's hand for even a moment.
The journey to the dressing room was not peaceful either. The lobby was full of ghosts with special effects makeup on their faces, and Xu Zhaozhao could see them no matter where her gaze wandered.
She even wanted to walk while looking up at the ceiling. Only after finally entering the private room did Xu Zhaozhao breathe a sigh of relief.
The two children quickly took off their masks and curiously examined the bottles and jars on the table, which were all cosmetic materials.
Xu Zhaozhao stared blankly at the materials, which were mostly red.
Wouldn't that mean that Gu Qingyan, Yu Yu, and Xiao Kai would all end up covered in blood?
Just thinking about it gave Xu Zhaozhao goosebumps, and she felt a chill around her.
Or should she pretend to be a blind ghost?
She actually started thinking about it seriously.
"Brother Yuyu, which ghost are you going to dress up as?"
Xiao Kai asked Gu Yulin, his eyes sparkling.
Gu Yulin thought for a moment, glancing at Xu Zhaozhao from time to time, before replying, "A vampire, I guess."
"Huh? A vampire?"
Xiao Kai repeated the words he had said, his eyes still filled with lingering doubt.
Vampires and the Ghost Festival... don't seem to go together at all?
But how can it not be considered a ghost?
His little brain couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. "Then Xiao Kai will also dress up as a vampire with his brother!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Zhaozhao moved her feet a little closer to Gu Qingyan.
They weren't far apart to begin with; Xu Zhaozhao was practically lying in Gu Qingyan's arms.
Xu Zhaozhao could tell that they were all taking care of her. It was one thing for the ghosts in the city to scare her, but they didn't need to dress up as such terrifying ghosts.
"Hey, Gu Qingyan, can you dress up as a vampire too?"
She snuggled against his lean arm like a spoiled kitten, "Can I dress up as a vampire too?"
My heart can't take it anymore, Gu Qingyan's face is covered in blood...
"good."
His voice, as he agreed, struck Xu Zhaozhao's heart.
When they contacted the staff to say they wanted to play vampires, they were worried that there might not be any such roles available.
After all, vampires are Western ghosts...
Clearly, they had worried unnecessarily; the staff even thoughtfully asked them what size clothing they wanted.
It seems there are quite a few people with unique tastes like them.
Soon, the makeup artist arrived with four sets of clothes and makeup tools. She noticed that they were slightly surprised but not particularly excited.
Without a doubt, Gu Qingyan must have used his financial power and given prior notice.
It was supposed to be just role-playing, but in the end only Gu Yulin and Xiao Kai wore vampire costumes.
Gu Qingyan and Xu Zhaozhao simply put on that stylish cloak.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't dare to go into the fitting room by herself, so she made up an excuse and only wore a cloak.
Gu Qingyan looked at her with a half-smile, "Then I won't wear it either."
Xu Zhaozhao frowned slightly. "Why?"
He reached out, grabbed the cloak lying next to him, and draped it over his shoulders.
Turning his head, a reassuring voice came: "I'm afraid some coward won't be able to find me."
oh.
It turns out she wasn't a vampire, but a coward.
Thinking about it, Xu Zhaozhao was amused by herself and forced a smile.
Surprisingly, her little black dress and the vampire cape on her back actually went quite well together.
"Hehehe, the faceless vampire is here!!"
Having changed his clothes, Xiao Kai rushed out of the changing room with a toy gun in his hand, his cape billowing in the wind.
He stumbled, his eyes widened, and he braced himself on the floor, making a slightly awkward landing motion.
At the same time, Gu Yulin also came out of another changing room.
Although they are young, children have the most mischievous ideas, adding many other elements to the vampire theme.
For example, Xiao Kai is dressed as a vampire and has No-Face makeup on his face.
As for Gu Yulin, Xu Zhaozhao gave him a name in Xiao Kai's language: "Clown Vampire".
It's a combination of a clown and a vampire.
Her small face was made up with clown makeup, with patches of red and blue, and her signature grin.
He was wearing a red vest and black suit pants, with a cape tied behind his back, and a skull-shaped cane in his hand.
The clown makeup didn't give him any clown vibe.
He walked out of the changing room step by step, like a noble count.
Gu Yulin squatted down and helped Xiao Kai up, a smile playing on his lips. "You're not handsome at all, you vampire."
"snort!"
Xiao Kai scoffed at him, but didn't hold a grudge against his words. Instead, he said matter-of-factly, "I'm No-Face. I have no face and I'm not afraid of losing face!"
This remark elicited soft laughter from the dressing room.
Xiao Kai wasn't trying to smooth things over; he genuinely believed it from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Zhaozhao recognized all the characters, and they weren't from any horror movies, so she wasn't afraid.
Their heavy makeup concealed their true appearance to some extent, and the dim lighting at night greatly reduced the chances of them being recognized.
But... her and Gu Qingyan's faces were completely clean.
The two children went to the side to pick out dentures and some small accessories.
Xu Zhaozhao decided to reinforce their disguise.
Even the makeup artists didn't know where to begin.
Sitting in front of them were two stunningly beautiful celebrities, and the makeup artist holding the tools was trembling uncontrollably.
"Um... what are your requests?"
Xu Zhaozhao tugged at her chair and moved closer to Gu Qingyan.
She looked up at the makeup artist and held out her hand, "Let me do his makeup."
The makeup artist was somewhat surprised, but still handed the tools in her hand to Xu Zhaozhao.
Gu Qingyan raised an eyebrow; he wasn't unaware of the slight cunning in Xu Zhaozhao's words.
He leaned forward slightly, bringing his face close to Xu Zhaozhao's, and said, "Let's do the makeup."
