The entire venue was filled with people.
And all of them had pale faces, staring at us lifelessly.
The feeling was truly unpleasant.
Old Mo and I couldn't help but gasp.
Our breathing became a little more rapid.
The little fox in my handbag.
Also poked its head out, baring its teeth, staring at the people in the venue.
No, to be precise.
They should be ghosts.
This screening room, Number 13, was densely packed with ghosts.
"Qin Ze, Mo Ting, why are you standing there?
There are so many seats, find one and sit down first."
Li Shiyao said with a smile.
But Old Mo subconsciously replied:
"They're all full, where are there any seats!"
Li Shiyao was stunned upon hearing this.
She turned to look; the entire venue had over a hundred seats.
Now, only a sparse dozen or so people were seated.
The gap from being full was too huge!
Li Shiyao thought Old Mo was joking.
She laughed:
"This joke isn't funny!
Our small production's premiere attendance is usually media people, so few people is normal.
But if our director hears this later, he'll surely be unhappy."
After speaking, she glanced at a bald man sitting in the front row.
I pulled Old Mo and then said to Li Shiyao:
"Okay, we'll go find seats.
Also Shiyao, wear this."
As I spoke, I quietly handed her a peace charm.
Li Shiyao took it and was stunned:
"What's this?"
"To ward off evil. This place isn't very clean."
I reminded her in a low voice.
Although these ghosts were all sitting still.
Judging by their eyes, they were all wandering spirits.
Numerous, but not dangerous.
However, there was a killing aura in the room.
This could only mean one thing: among these over a hundred ghosts, there was also an evil spirit.
Having Li Shiyao wear the peace charm was for her safety.
Seeing my serious expression.
Li Shiyao suddenly remembered that at a gathering, Zhang Chu Yue had introduced me as a Daoist priest.
Li Shiyao was a little surprised, and then she recalled what Old Mo had just said. Looking at the empty screening room, she unconsciously swallowed.
"You, don't scare me!"
Li Shiyao's voice trembled slightly.
I patted her arm:
"It's okay, hold onto the peace charm, we're still here!"
Li Shiyao composed herself. Today was her film's premiere, and no matter what, there couldn't be any mishaps.
She nodded at me and held the peace charm.
Seeing Li Shiyao holding the charm.
I gestured for Old Mo to go up first and find seats.
After all, it was someone else's premiere. As long as these ghosts didn't cause trouble.
Old Mo and I wouldn't provoke them for now.
Then, Old Mo and I, holding popcorn, walked directly towards the last row.
Because the last row offered the best view.
The seats in the last row were also crowded.
Each ghost was sitting in its seat.
At this moment, they were staring coldly at Old Mo and me, saying nothing.
Looking at the wandering spirits in front of us.
I said:
"Buddy, excuse me."
I said calmly.
The male ghost, hearing me speak, actually showed a hint of surprise, perhaps surprised that I could see him.
But he said nothing and quickly retracted his legs, clearing a path.
"Miss, please let us pass..."
I squeezed past and continued speaking.
The female ghost in the second seat also quickly retracted her legs, allowing Old Mo and me to pass.
This scene was noticed by some of the audience members in front.
The three young men and women whom Li Shiyao had brought earlier, complained to us:
"Holy crap, coming to watch a ghost film, does it have to be this scary?
Those two were acting all mysterious, talking to empty seats.
It sent shivers down my neck..."
"They must be actors hired by the organizers! To set the mood, I'm even more excited."
"Hahaha! Ghost films are just for fun. I don't believe in that stuff at all. If it were real, why can't I see it?"
"..."
As the three were watching us and complaining.
They didn't see the more than a dozen ghosts beside them staring wide-eyed at them...
But Li Shiyao, sitting in the front row, held the peace charm in her hand, looking nervously at the rows of empty seats behind her.
Old Mo and I reached a middle seat.
Two male ghosts were sitting here.
I looked at these two male ghosts and spoke again:
"Buddies, excuse us."
The two male ghosts turned their heads to look at me upon hearing me speak.
Very cold, without any emotion.
I smiled and took out two ghost bills.
And tossed them towards the two ghosts.
The two ghosts looked down at the ghost bills, and a hint of delight appeared in their eyes.
They snatched them up, as if afraid others would see.
Taking the ghost bills, they said not a word.
They stood up with the money and quickly retreated to the other side.
Finally, they stood on tiptoe by the aisle.
After all, money makes the ghost go round, and what our ancestors said must be true. Kai Shu Ge
Seeing them move away, Old Mo and I sat down.
We didn't pay attention to those two ghosts.
They were just ordinary wandering spirits, and we were long accustomed to it.
Looking at the entire screening room.
Besides us, there were only about twenty other audience members.
The remaining seats were all occupied by unmoving ghosts.
So many ghosts gathered here, were they all waiting to watch a ghost film?
I scanned these ghosts, trying to see which one carried the Yin Sha aura.
However, after looking around, I didn't spot any.
Old Mo and I exchanged glances and both shook our heads, having found nothing.
At this moment, I looked at a female ghost sitting beside me.
The female ghost sat upright, staring motionlessly at the big screen.
A faint Yin energy emanated from her body.
I looked at her, then asked:
"Beautiful lady, do you also like watching ghost films?"
The female ghost, upon hearing my question, mechanically turned her head.
She looked at me with a forced smile:
"Yes! Our whole family loves watching them."
After she spoke, a male ghost sitting on her other side.
As well as two old ghosts and a child ghost sitting in front of us, all turned their heads.
They looked at me with their pale faces, and then smiled at me with their forced smiles.
Looking at these few ghosts, I felt a bit awkward.
It turned out the whole family was here.
Whether it was pathetic, or their family's good fortune...
