Ghost Market.
A bustling district.
Ghosts gathered together, whispering and exchanging information.
"Did you hear? Jiang Wuchang from that underworld live stream is back in the West Hall!"
"Really?"
"Yes! My brother's brother's sister works there, and she said she saw Jiang Wuchang!"
"Me too, me too. I just bought a Replay Stone and saw him."
Just then, a small ghost rushed over, panting.
"Latest news, latest news! Jiang Wuchang just finished visiting the manga department!"
Hearing this, the ghosts gathered in a circle asked in a flurry of voices:
"What does Jiang Wuchang think of our manga?"
"Are they just sightseeing? Did the streamer really want to stay after watching?"
"Exactly, exactly. They'll definitely give the streamer great benefits!"
"I need to get dressed quickly. What if Jiang Wuchang passes by here later..."
Meanwhile, as Jiang Lin and Tai Qin guided their viewers through the West Hall's work area.
News of Jiang Lin's arrival at the West Hall quickly spread to every corner.
More and more ghosts gathered in the Ghost Market.
Besides ordinary ghosts, there were even some ghost officers.
So, when Jiang Lin and Tai Qin emerged from the work area.
They were surrounded by a crowd of ghosts.
Each dressed in their best clothes, tidied up and looking presentable.
Some even held gifts.
There were eggs, freshly prepared hot meals,
fruits, and some holding exquisite gift boxes.
Those who were luxuriously dressed were undoubtedly the ghosts who were doing better in this Ghost Market.
Upon seeing Jiang Lin, their faces lit up with surprise.
"Look! The streamer really came out from here!"
"It's really Jiang Wuchang!"
"Streamer, streamer, I finally get to see you!"
The ghosts clustered together, jostling to get closer to Jiang Lin.
In the crowd of ghosts,
some of the thinner ghosts were pushed by those behind them.
One lost their footing and fell to the ground.
The ghosts behind were oblivious, their eyes and hearts only on the streamer.
They kept pushing forward.
The ghost being stepped on wailed, "Ouch, you're stepping on me!"
"My hands, my hands!"
"My head! Don't step on my head!"
However, their voices were completely drowned out by the exclamations of surprise.
Just then, two voices rang out simultaneously.
"Everyone, don't push!"
"Quiet!"
Two terrifying auras emanated from Tai Qin and Jiang Lin respectively.
Instantly spreading throughout the area.
Causing all the ghosts present to freeze, trembling from their souls.
The entire scene quickly fell silent.
Tai Qin and Jiang Lin exchanged glances, and Jiang Lin nodded.
Tai Qin stepped forward, his face stern, and said coldly:
"Do you want Jiang Wuchang and all the human viewers to laugh at us?!"
"Is this how you welcome friends from our West Hall?!"
"..."
The gathered ghosts were stunned, snapping out of their previous frenzy.
They lowered their heads, reflecting on whether they had been too unrestrained.
They...
They just wanted to welcome Jiang Wuchang and make him like it here.
They didn't want him to dislike it.
Seeing that the ghosts had calmed down a bit, Tai Qin continued:
"Now, everyone watch your step and don't step on other ghosts. Maintain a certain distance."
The ghosts looked down and realized that many had fallen to the ground.
And their feet were still on others.
"S-sorry, I didn't notice."
"My apologies, are you alright?"
As they spoke, they stepped back slightly.
And helped the fallen ghosts up.
The ghosts who had been stepped on, covered in footprints, were initially filled with anger.
But seeing everyone apologizing sheepishly, and with Tai Qin and Jiang Wuchang watching,
their anger subsided.
"It's okay, it's okay, no one did it on purpose."
"Just be more careful next time."
...
"It calmed down so quickly!?"
In the live stream,
viewers were worried it might turn into a stampede, but they didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly.
The speed was astonishing.
So fast that many viewers hadn't even reacted.
By the time the ghosts had all maintained a proper distance, they came to their senses.
"Stampedes are truly terrifying! Lives are lost invisibly."
"Actually, this is just ghosts. If people were stepped on like this, they'd definitely be injured."
"But they resolved it so quickly. Even if they were humans, it probably wouldn't be fatal."
"I saw a method online before."
A viewer shared:
"If you find someone falling in a crowd, everyone around should immediately stop and shout in unison: 'Back off!'
Those who hear it should slowly retreat while shouting 'Back off!' This might prevent a stampede."
However, the prerequisite for this is.
That everyone knows this method and implements it carefully.
After all, in a dense crowd,
relying on just one person's strength is difficult to be noticed.
Below, a group of viewers chimed in:
"Makes sense, let's spread the word."
"We can't learn the methods of the underworld, but this one might work."
"Learned it! [get]"
...
In the live stream footage, after controlling the situation.
Tai Qin had a brief exchange with the ghosts.
Jiang Lin then learned the purpose of the ghosts' gathering.
First, to welcome him and see him.
Second, to try and convey some messages to the human world through the live stream.
Jiang Lin had no objections to this.
On his first trip to the three halls, he had discovered when he came to the West Hall.
That information circulated quickly here, and there were many fans of the live stream.
"It's possible, but..."
Jiang Lin looked at the ghosts packed three layers deep. There were too many.
If each one wanted to say something on the live stream, how much time would that take?
Tai Qin glanced over and understood Jiang Lin's meaning.
He patted his shoulder, "Brother Jiang, how about we let them chat here, and we go eat first?"
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll set it up."
After all, he didn't have much to broadcast while eating.
His three daily live stream tasks for today, a total of six hours, were not yet completed.
Then, Jiang Lin looked around.
He found a place with a platform and had the small live stream ball fix itself to this small area.
On the other side, Tai Qin was communicating with the ghost officers of the Ghost Market.
Asking the ghosts who wanted to appear on the live stream to form a neat queue.
Maintaining a certain distance between them, no cutting in line, no crowding.
Anyone causing trouble would be removed, with fists as a warning.
Hearing Tai Qin's words.
Before the ghost officers could even step forward, the ghosts voluntarily formed a line.
As they queued, they also paid attention to maintaining the distance between each other to meet the standards of the ghost officers.
They were extremely proactive and cooperative.
This made the viewers in the live stream feel both amused and a little inexplicably sad.
"These ghosts are so well-behaved!"
"Don't worry, you'll be one of them in the future."
"Is the streamer leaving already? Wuwuwu..."
"I'm more curious, what do these ghosts want to say?"
At this moment, the viewers had no idea what kind of live stream they were about to witness.
