Chapter 260 Halloween Carnival Night (5)
When he heard that the Suzuki team had received the first token, Qian Xiaoyi just smiled and was not very excited.
According to the rules, the tokens in the first round are the easiest to obtain, because with each round, the time to obtain new tokens will continue to decrease. In the first round, you have four hours to collect the initial tokens, and The final round is only one hour long. Therefore, the tokens at the beginning are actually the least valuable and have the largest number, and the truly valuable ones are at the back.
Qian Xiaoyi was wandering aimlessly on the street in a bunny doll costume. As the person who got the token tarot card posted the photo of the token online, the ghosts and monsters around him became more and more fascinated. One by one, they acted in various absurd or ridiculous sitcoms, which made it more and more like a carnival.
"Heitaro, how are you doing there?" Qian Xiaoyi called again.
"Heitaro? Are you there?" There was no response. Qian Xiaoyi frowned slightly. He switched to the public channel and asked, "Who saw Heitaro? He should be with Kawasaki and you guys, right?"
"Ah? Inuyama-kun?" Kawasaki, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, was struggling to resist the siege of monsters and monsters around him. He took the time to reply: "Were you here just now? Maybe you went to the toilet. Hey, Sato, help quickly! This is It’s so annoying to help. By the way, is the spell useful for vampires?”
A Qing Dynasty zombie jumped out and stood in front of Kawasaki with a strange cry. They are a zombie hunting group. Kawasaki wears glasses and dresses up as a four-eyed priest, while Sato jumps around as a zombie.
Due to the first round of "Death" tarot cards, zombies were targeted as monsters resurrected from the dead. They were directly surrounded by other ghosts. In the chaos, Heita Inuyama somehow Didn't see it.
"Tsk, forget it, no need to look for it, I know what's going on..." Qian Xiaoyi looked forward. Among the crowds dressed as ghosts, a black figure stood behind the crowd, Under the cloak, a clear skull stared at him silently, with a faint will-o'-the-wisp dancing in its eyes, and the sickle in its hand hung low, flashing with cold light.
If you look carefully, you will find that there are no feet under his cloak and they are floating in the air.
As if no one around them could see the thing, Qian Xiaoyi and the thing looked at each other silently. Then, a group of people walked through the road between them, turning Qian Xiaoyi's sight It was temporarily covered, and when he looked over again, the figure had disappeared.
"Hey...wait for me here, right?" Qian Xiaoyi resisted the growing dizziness in his mind. He looked around, and from time to time there appeared a hint of emptiness behind the people acting as ghosts. The shadow loomed in his sight, Qian Xiaoyi murmured: "Is this the battlefield you chose? Miss Anna."
Has Qian Xiaoyi considered that the 10 million event bonus is to attract him? He used the bait, but he didn’t expect that instead of fishing, he directly used the fishing net to steal it.
——The entire Shibuya is now a fishing net, trapping his big fish.
"So, do you want to break free from the fishing net and escape from this place? Mr. Qian." Anna sat in the lounge, shuffling tarot cards in a leisurely manner.
"In order to avoid leaks, you didn't tell any colleagues that you were going to attend the Shibuya event on Halloween, right? Because they are all Japanese, and so am I." Anna He murmured: "So you can't believe them, and then on this day, you crashed into this quagmire. You know, The Halloween carnival is...
——The Soul Exterminator is a restricted area. "What? Are you in Shibuya?" Suzuna asked on the phone in surprise: "Why are you there?" Place?”
Finally, Qian Xiaoyi called Suzuna and asked her about the relevant matters. Facing Suzuna's surprise, Qian Xiaoyi couldn't just say that he didn't notify you because the show was about to be filmed, right?
He could only say: "Of course it's because... it's fun. I'm still a young man, so it's normal to come here for a stroll at night~ But... this place seems different from usual?"
Suzuna said on the other end: "You don't know about this? It's not a good place for psychics right now. That's right, you just came to Japan not long ago, so it's normal that you don't know about this. , you should have seen the phantom of the ghost in the crowd, right? In fact, it is not only a false shadow, but also something real..."
Listening to Suzuna's explanation, Qian Xiaoyi I finally understood what was happening here.
Halloween carnival is just a way for ordinary people to vent their stress and relieve their loneliness, but their way of venting is to abandon their usual image of "people" and start playing various monsters and monsters. Leave the stress of life behind for a while.
Both masks and facial makeup play an important role in metaphysics. In ancient times, in addition to acting, the act of acting as a ghost was part of sacrificial activities. Even the troupe must perform specific rituals to obtain the forgiveness of gods and ghosts before playing the role of ghosts and gods.
And in Shibuya on Halloween, there are so many young people playing ghosts that they have affected the aura of the entire area, making it chaotic, and everywhere you look is filled with terrifying monsters. , people’s daily cognition changes once they get here.
Having said that, without professional guidance, this aura is chaotic and cannot form a large ghost realm, so for ordinary people, this is just a chaotic carnival. There will be no strange encounters at all.
But it is different for psychics. Their feelings are much more sensitive than ordinary people, and they are enough to feel the pressure brought by these chaotic auras. They seem to be in a chaotic place. During the sacrificial ceremony, countless cognitions about ghosts and ghosts will flood into their minds at the same time. This pressure will cause the psychics to endure torture here and see some illusions.
However, this is not over yet. In the carnival of Halloween, there has always been an urban legend, that is, there are real ghosts hidden among the people pretending to be ghosts. In other words, it is possible to invite real people to this chaotic ritual, but thanks to this chaotic aura, they cannot distinguish the difference between ordinary people and similar people, and generally will not affect ordinary people.
Except for psychics.
"Do you understand, Mr. Qian?" Suzuna said on the phone: "Don't go to Shibuya on Halloween. This is common sense among Japanese ghost exterminators. Leave now while your consciousness is still clear. The longer we psychics stay there, the greater the impact will be."
"So, will you bow your head and admit defeat?" In the lounge, Anna turned out another tarot card. , murmured: "Qian Xiaoyi."
A [Chariot] lay quietly on the table.
