Chapter 284: A date with the wedding ghost (third update)
Mandalay!
As night fell, Su Jie drove Han Ruyan to Mande City himself.
What he saw along the way was the tall buildings, the endless traffic, and the flowing scene of the modern city, which made Han Ruyan feel unprecedentedly novel.
The houses here are as dense as dust and smoke, the billboards are flashing, the colorful products in the convenience stores, and the glass curtain walls reflect little bits of light, like the starry night sky.
The brightly lit city seems to never stop, with neon-lit horse racing circles and crowds of people passing through the streets. The noise, the sound of cars, and the sound of footsteps mix together to create a prosperous atmosphere.
Compared with the past, Mandalay has developed rapidly.
After winning the war to unify Eastern Chin State, Jieco Company once again began to spend money heavily, continuously developing the infrastructure of Mandeb City, boosting the economy and improving people's happiness.
The population of Mandeb City has exceeded one million, attracting people from other cities in Eastern Chin State to come and work.
Although this population is the size of a county town in China, in Zen, it is already a big city.
"This is the city, never seen like this."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Han Ruyan touched the steel carriage that was running without a carriage, and then looked sideways at the busy traffic outside the window.
The Mande City in front of him was a strange city that Han Ruyan had never seen before.
Various steel, cement and glass houses can be seen everywhere here. People talk into a small iron box and wear strange clothes. Flashing pictures will appear in the glass, and various vivid human beings will appear inside, as if someone lives there. The acting inside is average.
Even if you have learned about the jade slips, you know that the thing that moves automatically without a carriage is called a car; the iron case that speaks is a communication tool called a mobile phone; the glass machine is called a TV, which can store and project images. machine.
But you know, the experience of seeing it with your own eyes is completely different.
"It's okay if you haven't seen it before. Come on, I'll take you down to have a look."
Su Jie parked the car, put on big sunglasses to cover his face so as not to be recognized, and then led Han Ruyan out of the car.
"Why do I feel a little cold?"
"It's very hot in July now. Hey, it does seem a bit cold."
"Right, I just said it's a bit cold."
Some pedestrians who were close to Han Ruyan shivered inexplicably and walked away muttering.
The place where we got off the bus happened to be a night market with an endless stream of people. The smell of barbecue hit our nostrils, the sounds of vendors selling in the stalls came and went, and the aroma of various snacks filled the air.
The roadside game stalls are cheering constantly, and with the flashing lights, a variety of small commodities, accessories, leather goods, toys, fabrics and other products are stalled on the roadside.
In particular, the jade and jewelry stalls, which are specialties of the Zen Kingdom, attracted many customers to stop and watch.
"Boss, do you want to play? One circle costs one yuan."
A game stall owner saw Su Jie and Han Ruyan passing by and enthusiastically stepped forward to solicit business.
Su Jie saw an advertising banner hanging behind the game stall. This night market was planned and built by Jieke Company.
The game stall owner obviously didn't know that he had brought his business to the head of the big boss of Jieko Company and the real controller of East Chin State.
Seeing how enthusiastic the boss was, Su Jie took out 20 yuan in exchange for the ring, handed it to Han Ruyan, and whispered, "Don't use your ability, just give it a try."
Han Ruyan glanced at Su Jie. Although he couldn't see his eyes under his sunglasses, Su Jie could imagine that Han Ruyan was definitely trying to say something inappropriate.
However, people came and went, and in the end Han Ruyan did not refuse, so she took a trap and tossed it casually.
Twenty hoops spread out like flowers, and each hoop accurately caught various dolls on the stall.
The boss's mouth opened wide and his face turned green. He didn't choose the right one. He chose the least suitable customers to come and participate in the game. There were not enough dolls for him.
"Just this one, boss, I will come back to take care of your business when I have time."
Su Jie took a stuffed panda from the stall, stuffed it into Han Ruyan's arms, and continued to walk around the city with Han Ruyan, enjoying this rare leisure.
When passing by a movie theater, Han Ruyan suddenly pointed at the poster and said, "Is that also a ghost?"
Su Jie turned around and saw that it was a Chinese horror film being released, and Han Ruyan saw the female ghost on the promotional poster.
"This is just a lie. It's different from you. If you want to know, I'll take you to have a look."
"If it's fake, it's not necessary."
"No, I just want to show you how people here understand ghosts. Besides, we are husband and wife. It is a custom here that watching a movie together is called a date. This is a symbol of emotional intimacy."
"Is that so?"
Han Ruyan tilted her head. She didn't understand why this kind of behavior could be linked to feelings.
"Anyway, come with me and take a look."
Su Jie took Han Ruyan into the cinema, which was not as grand as this ghost movie.
However, Su Jie made a phone call, and soon the manager of the cinema ran out with sweat on his face, greeted him warmly and humbly, and helped clear a screening room to make room for Su Jie and Han Ruyan to be alone.
In the cinema, as the screen slowly lit up, Su Jie pulled Han Ruyan to watch it.
"This is a movie. The images conveyed through the big screen are filmed in advance and then shown in cinemas to collect funds.
This movie is called "Bisen vs. Sadako 3". Tsk, it sounds like a bad movie. I asked people to find a few more classic horror movies from my childhood. They are the experts in making such movies. ”
Han Ruyan didn't understand Su Jie's reaction. For her, it was very novel to be able to let people act on the screen.
After the movie started playing, Han Ruyan suddenly understood why Su Jie reacted that way.
"Ghost killers, do you need to go to such trouble to kill these ordinary people?"
Han Ruyan couldn't understand it at all. Seeing how the so-called fierce ghost on the screen could deal with an ordinary person, she felt inexplicably insulted.
When the movie was about to end, the movie said that the so-called female ghosts were hallucinations that the heroine had before she jumped into the river and died.
When Han Ruyan heard this, she seemed to have been deceived.
Waterfall's black hair was fluttering, and his eyes were cold and strange, exuding a suffocating pressure.
All electrical and electronic equipment in the cinema suddenly flickered violently and malfunctioned.
"Don't be angry, you can't kill people here, let's look at other things."
Su Jie quickly suppressed Han Ruyan. Once Han Ruyan really went berserk here, countless people would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a new movie was sent over, and Su Jie could barely comfort Han Ruyan.
At the same time, he secretly decided not to let Han Ruyan watch such bad movies in the future, because if Han Ruyan was really angered, Su Jie would be hard-pressed to deal with it, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
