Chapter 166: CH 87.1

The proprietor ghosts made trouble outside the barrier for a long time, but Lin Xinghe and the others inside the barrier were not affected at all.

The ghosts knew they were fighting a losing battle.

From the start-

“None of you will live through tonight…”

“We are so lonely in the community, come and accompany us…”

“We curse you to be divided into five pieces by five horses running in different directions…”

To later-

“Hey! Give us some reactions!”

“Stop eating hot pot! Look at us!”

“Hey! How about respecting the powers of us ghosts!”

To now-

“I haven’t eaten hot pot for such a long time…”

“No one delivers here…”

“That roast duck looks so delicious…”

“The BBQ must be delicious!”

“Come and eat numb and spicy crayfish!”

The fifty proprietor ghosts decided to temporarily truce.

Although Lin Xinghe was a little arrogant, there was a saying that was right, (Chinese) people treat food as heaven. People and ghosts were both people. Food came first, and waste was shameful.

Therefore, the proprietor ghosts ate hot pot, barbecue, crayfish, and soft-serve cones from the ice cream machine.

As a result, Deng Haotian and Manager An, who were tied up in midair, became the only two people in the audience who had nothing to eat. All kinds of fragrances drifted into their noses, and they were very hungry after nearly 12 hours without food.

Originally, they thought that after twelve o’clock, the underground parking lot would become a scene of bloody slaughter. Who would have thought that the party of humans and ghosts was more like a feast?

After about half an hour, Lin Xinghe, who was full, finally left the hot pot table.

She took a megaphone and called out, “Neighbors, are you eating well?”

Some of the proprietor ghosts who were having a good time responded loudly: “Well! Very well!”

Lin Xinghe asked, “Is there anything else you want to order? Are there enough ingredients for the hot pot?”

“If you can add some thinly sliced lamb…” Before the owner finished speaking, his neighbor stared at him.

He realized…

… Shit, I was almost persuaded by sugar-coated bullets!

The proprietor ghosts hit the table and stood up!

“Add my ass! I…”

However, before his words were finished, the owner who wanted to get more mutton went silent.

Xie Wuan slowly turned his wrists. His appearance was cold and clear, and the proprietor ghosts suddenly felt their backs grow a little colder. There were other ghosts who didn’t give up, and their punishments were exactly the same.

In the back, whenever the ghosts wanted to say something, Xie Wuan hung them in the air.

Xie Wuan himself seemed to have done nothing. He didn’t even look at the proprietor ghosts. With his slender and fair fingers, he used chopsticks and stuffed a piece of mutton dipped in sesame sauce into his mouth.

Lin Xinghe said, “Thank you for being quiet…”

Proprietor ghosts:  …

Lin Xinghe held the loudspeaker, “First of all, I am very happy that everyone is willing to meet us frankly and greet me, a new neighbor, with your most authentic face. I am not the ghost hunter that you may think of me as. I am sincere in joining you instead of destroying you! Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother to prepare all kinds of food for everyone. I believe you have also seen our ability. If we wanted to destroy you, we wouldn’t have needed to hold a party at all. Directly sealing the entrances of the community would have been enough to trap you in here.”

She spread her hands and said, “So, I am really here to join you! Although I am a real human being and you are ghosts, there is no rule in the world that humans and ghosts cannot live in harmony. Today’s people are being bound by so-called moral obligations and want to get rid of the “evil” ghosts. But in reality, they’re just scared of your power.”

The proprietor ghosts who were still a little rebellious in their hearts gradually calmed down and looked at Lin Xinghe.

Lin Xinghe said, “To be honest, I bought these 100 houses for a purpose. I want to make this place the most terrifying, real, and interesting theme park community in the country. I sincerely invite you to join me. Let’s plan together to create a better future!”

The fifty proprietor ghosts all looked at Lin Xinghe with incredulity shining in their eyes.

……What? Did they hear right? Was this girl crazy? Was she asking them to work for her?

Lin Xinghe continued, “Although I don’t know why you live here together, or why you became ghosts after you die, it seems that you are trapped in this community. Do you know why you’re trapped in this neighborhood?”

Under the dual attacks of the show of strength and the strategy of sugar-coated bullets, some ghosts had already surrendered in their hearts.

Xiaowan was one of them.

Xiaowan stood in the front row and replied, “We don’t know why. We all appeared in these houses after we died, and in the morning we will return to our previous appearance. After twelve o’clock, we will become like this. We can’t leave the community. We haven’t done any bad things, and we haven’t scared anyone to death… The reason why we drive them away is for their own good. There are too many ghosts in this community. The yin energy is too heavy, and it is easy for people to suffer bad luck if they stay here for a long time.”

When Xiaowan said this, the other ghosts also agreed.

“That’s right, we’ve never killed anyone. It’s all for their own good.”

“We didn’t want to kill you, we just wanted to frustrate your spirit and take you down a few notches…”

“We really are good ghosts!”

“The kind that can be bribed with a meal of hot pot!”

Lin Xinghe asked, “Does anyone know about the seeds of hell?”

“Huh? What is that?”

“I don’t know.”

“Never heard of that.”
