The ghost employee who couldn't understand the complicated expression on Huan Xiao's face explained:
"I have observed before that you like to learn about humans, so we specially prepared a movie about ghosts and humans getting along. I believe you will be interested."
"Can a few more people watch with me?" Huan Xiao asked as he walked.
The ghost officer happily responded:
"Of course, guest, we're going to prepare a few people to come."
With that said, the door of the multi-purpose hall has been opened.
There are about a hundred seats. It looked empty now, but the seats were spotless and had obviously been cleaned recently.
"You go to the banquet hall and work there. I don't need anyone here."
Although it feels like 'ghost hand' is more appropriate, Huanxiao feels it's awkward to say it, so let's treat it as a human for now.
The ghost employee left, and Huan Xiao casually sat in a position that would not be blocked, waiting for the movie to start.
"Tap, step, step"
There were footsteps coming from outside.
Hearing the noise, Huanxiao was surprised by the ghost's efficiency. Did you find someone willing to come to the movie so quickly? Wasn't he kidnapped?
However, after turning around and seeing the person coming in through the back door, Huanxiao stopped.
I saw ghostly employees carrying a few relatively clean bodies into the multi-purpose hall.
At first glance, Huan Xiao felt like a mountain king. Although it was strange to describe it this way, it was indeed her true thought.
As for why we use "gui" to describe people, it's because they are several human corpses. Looking at the shriveled skin that has lost moisture and the dilated pupils, it is very strange just to look at it.
Seeing that the ghost employees were about to place these corpses next to Huan Xiao, Huan Xiao immediately stood up to stop them.
"Stop!... Well, I suddenly don't want anyone to accompany me. Put them back where they were. I don't need them."
The ghost employees had no human temperament. They nodded and obediently moved the corpse away.
Watching the ghost employees carry the bodies and leave, Huan Xiao suddenly felt powerless in her heart.
This is the generation gap between humans and ghosts. What is separated is not a gap, but an ocean.
The ghosts didn't understand what she meant at all, because they didn't regard Huan Xiao as a human being, but as a ghost.
To a ghost, a human corpse is the same as a rag doll placed in the room, just an insignificant toy...
In the end, only Huan Xiao was left in the multi-purpose hall.
Huan Xiao, who was not interested in the dinner, finally accepted to watch the movie alone.
She felt that watching it alone was at least much better than watching a movie with a bunch of corpses.
At night, there was lightning and thunder, and the sea water was rolling.
The ship only swayed slightly in such a harsh environment and was as stable as a rock on the sea.
The lights on the ship were brightly lit and in the banquet hall. They exchanged glasses of wine, and everyone raised their glasses and looked at each other with smiles.
At this time, a man in work clothes walked up to the stage.
"Dear guests, let's play a game to liven up the atmosphere!"
I saw that its face looked pale and strange under the light, without any vitality.
In the banquet hall, those who were close first saw the abnormality of the "person" standing on the stage, and they were so frightened that they stopped talking.
They didn't understand why the waiter who looked normal just now became what he was now.
Did you go to put on makeup? Is this also part of tonight's banquet?
However, the people behind could not see clearly on the stage, so they did not notice the sudden change in the atmosphere on the field at this moment.
Passengers far away clapped excitedly and booed from behind.
"Play games! Play games!"
The shouting was so loud that it covered up the quiet discussion in front.
"Why did his skin suddenly become wrinkled? I remember it wasn't like this just now. Did he put on makeup?"
The woman in evening gown asked her companion in the audience.
The man in the suit's face darkened and said:
"You don't care if he wears makeup or not, we are here to play tonight. Since we spent money, they should provide us with novel games. I am tired of watching the previous process."
"...But, I feel that this host is not normal. What if..."
"Don't be afraid. We are here to relax and travel, not to work. Be good, now is not the time to worry about this and that. Having fun is your mission now."
"...Well, okay, maybe I'm too nervous."
The previous conversation reached the player's ears.
Zheng Guo stood next to Sister Xuan and said to Sister Xuan:
"Sister Xuan, should we leave first? The person on the stage seems to be a ghost."
"It doesn't seem like it, it just is." Sister Xuan's expression was solemn.
There were not so many ghosts when she got on the ship, but now she felt that the whole ship was filled with ghosts, as if she had entered a ghost nest, and there was a terrifying atmosphere everywhere.
Sister Xuan couldn't figure out whether the ghosts were hiding it too well or there was something wrong with the ship itself.
"Sister Xuan, do we want to leave? There is no one guarding the door. We still have time to leave now." Ye Li asked from the other side of Sister Xuan. Now was not the time for child's play. She suppressed her hatred for Zheng Guo for the time being and just waited for Sister Xuan to make a decision.
However, Sister Xuan shook her head and said seriously:
"We can't leave. We still don't know what this ghost is planning, and it won't let us leave easily. Don't underestimate the ghosts of Guiyu, they are not as stupid as you think."
Zheng Guo squeezed the wine glass tightly, and the irritability appeared in his eyes:
"Should we do nothing?"
"Calm down, the game will help us, it will never give us a dead end." Sister Xuan's face was calm, but the sweat on her forehead clearly showed that she was not as calm as she looked.
Ye Li nodded next to Sister Xuan, agreeing with Sister Xuan's decision.
But there was some commotion among the players, and five of them didn't dare to gamble with their lives. They gestured to each other and were already quietly retreating, planning to slip out through the side door.
Sister Xuan stood in front and did not see the players behind her leave.
After hearing Sister Xuan's decision, the other players looked towards the stage, waiting for the ghost to tell what its game was, and did not notice that several of their companions had quietly slipped away.
Banquet hall, outside the side door.
The five players who had already walked out laughed at the lively crowd outside the banquet hall.
"If you ask me, we shouldn't listen to that woman. If she's just lucky enough to awaken as an airbender, she really thinks she's a person!"
The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks spat on the ground and said to the other four people:
"Come on, let's just go back to the room and hide. The worst we can do is hide on the boat until we get off the boat. Could this boat be full of ghosts?"
"That's good, let's go back together! I can't stand them for a long time. The airbenders are useless here, so they can just go and tease me, and they don't mind infuriating themselves."
"Whoever wants to go can go, anyway, we won't go. There must be weak mermaids on the Mermaid Island. We will kill their cubs when the time comes. If we kill five of them and take their hearts, we will leave. Then we can go back and live happily for ten days. Half a month."
"This is your idea. It's much smarter than that bitch who is an airbender. If you ask me, you should be the airbender instead!"
The only woman among the five couldn't get a word in here, so she could only nod in response.
At this moment, a waiter appeared silently behind the five of them.
"Guests, why don't you go into the banquet hall and play games?"
