Chapter 7: Vigorously build an Oriental ghost town
So, just half a month later, the unlucky people of Hong Kong had just enjoyed the British charm of the dementors in "Harry Potter", and they were greeted by the next wave of crazy Japanese ghosts: Sadako, Kayako, Kappa, Hashihime, Snow Girl, Green Lantern, Slit Girl, Toilet Hanako, Fusangshen... they all came one after another and frequently appeared on the streets of Hong Kong late at night, and finally caused the sensation of "Hundred Demons Night Parade" Big sex scene!
For example, an unmanned classic car with an empty gas tank takes a ghost car tour on the streets late at night; an antique typewriter tap dances in the corridor of an office building in the middle of the night; a strange girl's cry comes from the dilapidated school toilet; Strange female ghosts in white crawled out of TV, computer and mobile screens one after another; ferocious ghosts covered in blood screamed for life in abandoned old houses; high school girls who wore masks because they had colds were inexplicably She became a slit girl; fishy kappas sprang out in groups from the park pond at night, frightening a bunch of wild mandarin ducks having sex in the open air in the grass... In just two or three days, more than 100,000 kappas appeared in urban Hong Kong. A thousand supernatural sightings scared a lot of people to death, and led to more than a dozen inexplicable car accidents and supernatural injuries... and even nearly caused a ferry full of passengers to sink into the sea. Become a ghost flight!
With no other choice, Political Commissar Guo had no choice but to lead his "Expert Paranormal Events Countermeasure Team" out once again, working day and night to put out fires and fill holes. Unfortunately, these monsters are obviously more difficult to fight than alien monsters. Although their individual combat capabilities are They were very average and often couldn't beat ordinary people, but they were very vigilant. Whenever there was any disturbance, they would always hide without a trace... which made them all exhausted for a while.
As for the effect, it can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Because compared with the huge and conspicuous alien monsters, these Japanese-style monsters are less lethal but very concealable. Moreover, Hong Kong citizens are not particularly cooperative with the work of Political Commissar Guo and his colleagues. Some of the more beautiful Japanese-style female ghosts are kept secretly by people with curious tastes, or they are resold to overseas collectors at high prices. There are also Hong Kong people who spontaneously formed a team of "monster hunters" in an attempt to capture monsters such as kappas and snow maidens and sell them to make money. As a result, they repeatedly clashed with people from Political Commissar Guo - in the current illegal underground trading market, the market price of these monsters It is quite popular, not to mention the cute snow girls and cat girls, even zombies can be sold for high prices!
The objects that are more difficult to identify and eliminate are fusangshen. This kind of thing is basically transformed from old objects that have been abandoned for many years in residents' homes. Normally, there is no difference at all, and no one would think of checking every storage. rooms and garbage dumps. According to the complaint of the person in charge, "It may be more difficult to completely eradicate them than to completely eradicate all rats in Hong Kong." Political Commissar Guo also said helplessly, "Instead of relying on such a small group of professionals to clean up Fusangshen, it may be more efficient to launch a patriotic sanitation campaign to clean up the city's garbage dumps."
Therefore, after a Hong Kong-wide sweep that was not very effective, the superior leaders of the relevant departments could only give orders to Political Commissar Guo, who was already overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse, and his "Expert Paranormal Events Countermeasure Team", which was almost exhausted. The new instructions no longer rush for success, but ask them to "maintain long-term surveillance and be ready to strike hard at any time" and be mentally prepared to fight a protracted war with all kinds of monsters and monsters in Hong Kong.
On the other hand, Hong Kong's property and stock markets, which were already extremely bleak, suffered the third heavy blow from the demons and monsters in such a short period of time. They finally fell to a terrible level, and more than half of the stocks were forced to suspend trading for rectification. . In Hong Kong and various parts of the South, the number of stockholders who jumped from buildings and hanged themselves due to bankruptcy has been impossible to count. There are also some Hong Kong apartments that have been abandoned for many years. They could have been packaged to deceive people into investing in them, but now they have completely become ghost buildings. Even if they offer an ultra-low price of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, no one will buy them. I want it.
As for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, it is even more miserable. It is a foregone conclusion that the government will continue to run a large fiscal deficit. It is already insolvent and has nowhere to borrow money. The desperate chief executive is already preparing to take people to Beijing to cry out and apply for poverty-stricken city treatment and special relief funds for Hong Kong next year...

However, although Hong Kong was exposed to so much bad news all at once due to the unreasonable disaster of "Hundred Ghosts at Night", it even led to tragedy and tragedy. However, there were still some "extraordinary people" who were keenly aware of certain opportunities, so someone quickly linked up, managed to find a few SAR councillors, and then quickly created a "Hong Kong Oriental Ghost Culture Themed Tourism City" Development Plan" was solemnly submitted to the District Council for review - the main content of the plan was to take advantage of the situation, make full use of the series of negative supernatural news that occurred in Hong Kong during this period, and strive to avert the inevitable In order to benefit from it, we plan to use haunted houses, ghost temples, monster shrines, vampire castles (the former sites of the Hong Kong Governor's House and churches can be borrowed), divination houses, supernatural hotels, night walks to visit hundreds of ghosts, night tours in cemeteries and abandoned neighborhood explorations. The main selling point is to introduce various supernatural items such as amulets, ward off evil incense, talismans, magical instruments and Buddhist scriptures as souvenirs, and develop various horror tourism projects with the characteristics of Hong Kong ghost towns that "scare people to death without paying for their lives".
In this way, it can not only alleviate various previous bad news, divert public grievances, and take the opportunity to develop employment on Hong Kong Island and reduce the unemployed population, but also revitalize the economy, increase tax revenue, reduce the deficit, and rehabilitate those dilapidated areas that are no longer inhabited. Neighborhoods have been transformed into treasures and various supernatural tourist attractions in one fell swoop. In addition, this gimmick can be used to attract an investment to maintain Hong Kong's various infrastructures that have long been in disrepair.
According to one of the sponsors, "...As the saying goes, you can eat the mountains if you rely on the mountains, and you can eat the sea if you rely on the sea. Now there are only ghosts left in Hong Kong, so we might as well rely on ghosts to eat ghosts and vigorously develop ghost culture thriller tourism in Hong Kong ghost towns. The tourism industry can be regarded as a way to make money... For the current plan, Only by taking advantage of Hong Kong's advantageous position at the forefront of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, developing the ghost culture of Europe, America, China, Japan and Southeast Asia, and turning Hong Kong into an oriental ghost city, or even the Jerusalem of the supernatural world, can the economy be revitalized and restored. Prosperity..."
In this regard, a considerable number of MPs said that they should strongly support it. Some cited the Buddhist holy land of Bodhgaya in India, which was attacked by the space monster Godzilla last time, and the use of monster skeletons to build temples to attract tourists, as well as the nuclear disasters of Chernobyl and Fukushima. An example of developing "radiation tourism" after the accident to satisfy tourists' psychological needs for novelty. Someone else enthusiastically painted a picture of "Onmyojis, witches, lamas, priests, monks, Taoist priests, wizards, divine men, and trance masters from all three religions and nine streams will gather in Hong Kong in the future, and pilgrims and tourists from all over the world will continue to flock all year round." optimistic and prosperous scene. However, in this way, it is lively and prosperous, but why does it always make people feel a bit...smoky?
Hey, it’s just a mess! No matter what, it's a little better than the lifeless look it has now, right?
As for the opponents in the parliament, they kept wailing: "...the majestic Oriental Pearl Tower passed down by our ancestors has actually developed into a ghost town for our generation! Such a disgraceful thing, do you want to be embarrassed and go to a foreign country? Are you guys still shameless? ? "It's just that apart from the above-mentioned denunciation, these opponents could not come up with any other solutions to the problem of Hong Kong's economic recession, so they were scolded as antiques, cowards, hypocrites who care about face rather than food, etc... In the end, no surprise. Once again, there was a fist fight on the bench.
Next, when the plan to build an oriental ghost town was spread to the public, Hong Kong people also had mixed reactions. Some applauded and praised it, while others secretly felt sad and shed tears. But more people just feel that they have mixed feelings in their hearts and really don’t know what to say. In short, after such a lot of troubles, no matter whether the "Hong Kong Oriental Ghost Culture Themed Tourism City Development Plan" can be finally passed and implemented, the name of "Hong Kong Ghost City" has become the same as the ruins of Detroit in the United States. It is said that it is famous and internationally renowned...
