Halloween, strictly speaking, is All Hallows' Eve.
This is a very important festival in the West.
It is said that on this day the gates of hell will be opened, and evil spirits will appear.
Humans need to disguise themselves as ghosts to confuse their sight.
But in China, there has never been a tradition of celebrating this foreign ghost festival.
Only some big cities, such as the Magic City, will hold corresponding activities on this day, and they are limited to some amusement parks and commercial streets.
In recent years, foreign festivals have become even less popular in China, and some people online have begun to boycott Christmas.
Wang Qi never expected that Halloween would suddenly be held in Qingling City.
He took out his mobile phone to search with curiosity and found that the venue was a commercial street in Qingling City.
In order to promote consumption, businesses spontaneously organize Halloween carnival activities.
This is actually similar to festivals such as Double Eleven, but it’s just a promotion.
It was originally just a small-scale self-entertainment, but unexpectedly it caused a sensation among some young people, and even people from surrounding cities prepared to rush to Qingling to participate in this ghost festival event.
Because recently, Wang Qi went to Xia City and the Imperial Capital successively.
So I don’t know what’s happening in Qingling.
This kind of activity of pretending to be a ghost, a store like the House of Horror, really should be more active...
"Halloween? I really miss it." When Wang Qi was checking the news, Mo Lin, who was in charge of the VR game project, also heard Zheng Ziyu mention this Halloween event and said.
After this period of proficiency, although his Mandarin is still stilted, daily communication is no longer a problem.
"Halloween sounds very interesting. You are a foreigner, so you must really want to participate again, right?" Zheng Ziyu quickly asked Mo Lin.
Maureen raised her head and thought for a while.
When he was still a church pastor, Halloween was the busiest time.
Because during Halloween, in certain places, there will really be a lot of evil spirits hiding among the crowd and acting secretly.
On that day, official psykers like Morin will be particularly busy.
As for now, things have changed and people have changed.
If he participates in Halloween again, he will be the one who should be warned...
But it’s quite interesting to think about.
"I really want to take a look, but I still have to see what the boss says." Mo Lin continued and looked at Wang Qi.
"Are you talking about Halloween?"
Before Wang Qi could answer, the landlady came over with a bowl of fried rice, which was a late-night snack specially made for Wang Qi.
After handing it to Wang Qi, she continued: "Wang Qi, by that night, I may also have to ask for leave."
"Ask for leave?"
"That night when the late-night food stall arrives, I have to set up a stall, so I have to get off work early and go over to help." The landlady replied.
"Yeah? Does the food stall owner want to join in the excitement of this foreign festival?"
Wang Qi was a little surprised.
It looks like this festival will be very interesting...
So he happily made a decision: "Well, let's go to the Horror House to participate in the event later."
We are professionals at pretending to be ghosts.
When the time comes, the employees of the Horror House must show their skill and style!
Hearing Wang Qi's permission, Zheng Ziyu cheered and quickly went to inform Liu Xiaocui, Zhu Zihao and the others.
Wang Qi then thought that when that day comes, he can do a live broadcast.
The audience will probably enjoy watching this Halloween carnival live broadcast.
…
"Halloween Carnival?"
In the underground secret room of the Qingling City Spiritual Management Bureau.
At this time, Xiao Gao also learned about the Halloween Carnival from Lin Ying. He was a little surprised: "How did this kind of event get approved?"
"No one approved it, just a few merchants on that commercial street held promotional activities, and the results snowballed... In the era of short videos, something might suddenly become popular."
Lin Ying is also suffering from a headache now.
He had just recently been officially appointed as the director, taking off the title of deputy director, but suddenly something big happened to him.
Ghost festivals such as Halloween have special meaning to the spiritual world.
It feels quite conventional.
At that time, the gate of hell will be wide open and evil ghosts will appear.
China also has a similar ghost festival, the Ghost Festival.
"Did anyone instigate it on purpose?" Xiao Gao asked with a frown.
"We have checked and can confirm that this Halloween was caused by accident, and there was no instigation by anyone with intentional intentions." Lin Ying shook his head.
"Can that be stopped?"
"That's the trouble."
Lin Ying reached out and touched his bald head: "This kind of ghost festival has special significance. When countless people realize that this ghost festival is going to be held, the barrier between yin and yang will begin to become weak. On that day, the ghost gate will
It will really open up..."
No matter which country in the world, they openly deny the existence of ghosts.
It is because public consciousness is the key to building a barrier between yin and yang.
When most people think that there are no ghosts in the world, then the underworld will be separated from the underworld.
The Ghost Festival is the default time for this barrier to be temporarily opened.
When people decide to hold a ghost festival, this kind of consciousness can really open the door to ghosts that night.
The Hungry Ghost Festival in China has always been ignored, and most people have no awareness of celebrating the Hungry Ghost Festival.
The country has not designated the Hungry Ghost Festival as a legal holiday.
This has made the special significance of the Hungry Ghost Festival fade away.
But it's different in foreign countries. Halloween is treated as a serious holiday.
This Halloween event held in Qingling attracted a lot of attention.
When the Spiritual Management Bureau wanted to stop it, it found that the influence had already been formed.
That commercial street has been filled with gloomy air recently at night.
And when it comes to Halloween, I'm afraid the ghost gate will really open up.
The evil ghosts wandering in the underworld will be attracted to it.
The Yaksha evil spirits and Fengdu ghosts in the underworld will also wander out.
Even if the Spirit Management Bureau can prevent outsiders from approaching, countless ghosts will still appear on that street.
"That means we have no way to stop Halloween now, we can only prevent chaos when it happens?" Xiao Gao said in a deep voice.
"Fortunately, the ghosts from the underworld usually don't have much impact. Just be careful of the evil ghosts who fish in troubled waters."
Lin Ying nodded. On Halloween night, the entire Spiritual Management Bureau would be dispatched to the street to keep an eye on them.
He has also ordered a Maoshan Taoist priest costume and is ready to go on stage in person...
Xiao Gao's cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Wang Qi's call, he quickly answered the call.
After hearing what Wang Qi said to him, Xiao Gao's expression changed a little.
After hanging up the phone, he said: "Brother Qi said he is going to do a live broadcast on Halloween night."
Lin Ying's frown suddenly relaxed.
"This is such a great thing!"
As we all know, Wang Qi’s popular science live broadcasts are never spooky.
Wang Qi was going to live broadcast this Halloween, which immediately made him feel a lot more at ease...
"Xiao Gao, please cooperate with him this time."
"I understand, boss." Xiao Gao agreed with a smile.
Wang Qi decided to participate in the Halloween Carnival. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to wholesale some ghost costume props and put them for sale in the horror house.
Business is pretty good.
On this day of the Halloween event, the variety show he participated in that was completed together was officially edited and appeared on a domestic video platform.
The platform operates this program as a movie.
Naturally, the original tentative name "Extreme Ghost" cannot be used, and the official version was changed to "Extreme Horror".
Countless viewers have long been looking forward to this variety show because of Li Chen's novels.
After learning that this program was actually real, I was naturally full of expectations.
The result did not disappoint everyone.
It was originally a show where the guests were frightened, but in the end it turned into the actors being scared and screaming by the guests.
Such a program cannot be seen in the island country where supernatural programs are very popular...
By that evening, Wang Qi was ready.
The only homebody in the house of horror, Sun Haoran, was not interested in the carnival, and Grandma Li was not suitable to participate in such activities, so she stayed in the store.
Others, including newly joined Li Chen, Xiao Sen and Xiao Hei, all crowded into Wang Qi's hearse.
Went outside the commercial street where the show was held.
Xiao Gao, three people, Li Shiyu and Ananna who came to join in the fun are all waiting here.
Xiaogao and the others have been very busy these past two days.
Mr. He came down from Fentou Mountain and was left in Qingling City for two days by Lin Ying. Xiao Gao was with him the whole time.
Today He Laocai left on a special plane.
Now the three of them are also dressed as ghosts.
Xiao Gao dressed up as a scholar, Linlin looked like a dancing girl and a fierce ghost, and Lao Chen picked and chose Qing Dynasty official clothes and dressed up as a zombie.
Ananna is dressed as a sexy ghost nurse, and Li Shiyu is dressed as a cute cat demon.
After the hearse stopped, they saw the ghost employees of Wang Qi's family getting out of the car one by one.
Each of them is ghostly and has its own special effects from the underworld.
They didn't even bother to dress up, they just acted in their true colors...
"Do you think I'll match up with Xiaozhang?" Lao Chen was a little worried at first.
I think Xiaozhan will definitely dress up in the classic zombie style.
But when Wang Qi and Xiao Zhan came out of the car, they were all dressed up in their daily clothes, without any cross-dressing.
"Brother Qi, why didn't you cross-dress?" Linlin asked a little strangely.
She had previously guessed with Ananna and Li Shiyu what Wang Qi would look like in disguise.
When participating in this kind of Halloween event, ordinary people's costumes will attract the attention of ghosts.
But in the end, Wang Qi and Xiao Zhan looked normal.
"I am a popular science anchor, so it may not be appropriate to pretend to be a ghost at this time."
Wang Qi was originally going to dress up, but after thinking about it he decided not to do it.
He has to stick to his own persona.
"But..." Linlin was a little worried.
If Wang Qi goes in like this, will it cause a group of ghosts to attack?
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiaozhan pull out his patterned shovel from behind his waist and put it on his shoulder.
