Chapter 163: Chapter 161: There is a Little Girl Here, Let’s Eat Her Together

During the parade, the performers sometimes interact with the audience. Tourists from afar take photos with their phones, and several travel streamers live stream with their phones.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

The procession moves very slowly because people are stopping to take photos with the performers.

In such an atmosphere, Yang Xiu couldn’t help but feel a bit eager, "Young Master, can I take a photo with the performers later? I think the Black and White Impermanence are especially cool; they look so realistic."

Before Qin Luo could respond, he heard a voice both soft and fierce say:

"No way!"

Qin Luo and the others looked at Yun Qi in surprise.

Yun Qi’s small face was serious, her chubby cheeks looking stern.

Yang Xiu: "Why? Little Master, is there something significant about it?"

Yun Qi tried to support herself and looked around, her clear eyes uncharacteristically serious and grave:

"According to folklore, demons and ghosts living in the human world hide during the day to avoid being discovered by humans. At night, when no one is around, they congregate and come out in great numbers to move about. This phenomenon is known in folklore as the Night Parade of Hundred Demons. Today’s deity parade is actually imitating the scene of the Night Parade of Hundred Demons."

Yang Xiu was even more puzzled, "What’s the problem? I see a lot of people taking pictures."

Even the usually composed Qin Luo and Yang He couldn’t help but look at Yun Qi.

Locals were interacting with ghosts, chatting and laughing. The ghosts were also distributing blessing talismans and blessing bags, apparently a local tradition. Many tourists and online streamers from afar were taking photos with the performers.

After all, in real life, it’s rare to see such a bizarre and terrifying scene. How cool would it be to post a photo on social media?

Yun Qi shook her head, her little expression extremely alert and serious, "No, not everyone is human. There are ghosts among them."

As soon as she spoke, the other three were startled and instinctively looked toward the parade.

In their sight, some demons and ghosts were posing for photos with people, making peace signs. Some were smiling and handing out blessing bags to the crowd by the roadside. Some occasionally took off their eerie masks to tease the children among the passersby.

So...

How could real ghosts be mixed within such a group?

"Little Master, are you mistaken? These demons and ghosts are all played by locals. My brother and I checked the information before we came. Every community organizes Nuodance performance teams, and the participants are all ordinary residents. How could there be real ghosts in such a group?"

"Right, Miss Yun," Yang He, who was more mature and steady, asked seriously, "Now is not the time to joke around. There are so many people on the scene, ghosts wouldn’t dare show themselves."

He looked at Qin Luo. Although not very knowledgeable about Mysticism, he knew at least basic common sense that ghosts have heavy yin energy and are afraid of yang energy.

With people gathered, yang energy is abundant, and ghosts generally do not dare to appear.

Qin Luo stepped forward, his voice gentle, "Qi, did you discover something?"

Yun Qi did not answer but concentrated her gaze, staring coldly in a certain direction.

Yang He instinctively stood behind Qin Luo, ready to rush out to protect him at any time.

The three of them looked together in the direction Yun Qi indicated.

Beside the hangman ghost, a travel blogger was excitedly taking photos with him:

"Folks, do you see what this is? That’s right, it’s the hangman ghost from the deity parade in Guyue County. Look at this tongue, these ligature marks, and this cold corpse... oh, I forgot, you can’t feel that through the screen. But I can really feel it live; just standing beside him, you can feel the chill from the actor, um... and a faint corpse smell. I have to say, the actor is really dedicated. Let me ask this local fellow, aren’t you tired dressing up like this all day? How did you manage to feel so cold?"

The live screen was full of bullet comments:

"Wow, the blogger is really on-site, it looks so striking."

"The blogger is really brave, aren’t you afraid of having nightmares at night?"

"Wow, those costumes and makeup are really realistic, just like real ghosts."

...

After a few seconds, the hangman ghost in the camera remained motionless, stiffly moving with the crowd, not even looking at the camera.

The blogger awkwardly laughed, "Look how dedicated the local is. It is said that all participants are ordinary locals, maybe he’s just shy. Uncle, do you get paid for participating in this event? Can you choose which ghost to play?"

The hangman ghost still didn’t utter a word, and the live chat began to ridicule.

The blogger felt embarrassed, quietly poking the hangman ghost to get some reaction.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed viewer in the live chat sent a message:

"Oh crap, it moved."

Followed by bullet comments:

"Where did it move? Don’t talk nonsense."

"The person in front must have seen it wrong, it didn’t move at all."

"No, the hangman ghost didn’t move; the paper figure behind it moved."

With this reminder, other viewers also noticed something was wrong. More and more people saw the scene in the camera and kept sending bullet comments to alert the blogger:

"Blogger, stop talking, look behind..."

"Oh crap, it moved again, it’s looking at the blogger!"

"Oh my God, it’s terrifying, did the blogger set this up?"

...

The travel streamer squinted his eyes, seeing the bullet comments scrolling across the screen.

"It didn’t move, folks, I can see everything clearly on-site, these actors are locals who receive professional training before each annual Nuodance. They..."

Before finishing his sentence, the streamer felt a chill on his head, instinctively looked up, and met a pair of eerie, pale eyes and two eerie blushes beneath them.

The shriveled head and pale face told him this was not a human face.

A paper figure?

Looking down at him, it was eerily smiling at him!

The streamer let out a sharp scream and dropped the phone he was using to live stream.

The paper figure slowly twisted its neck, lowered its head, its pale face approaching the streamer, and a sinister, eerie voice echoed, "I moved, so what?" "Ghost... ghost!" The streamer was so scared he dared not move, his scalp tingling, overwhelmed by immense fear making it hard to breathe, as if his throat was stuffed with a cotton ball, only making hoarse gasps.

"I moved, give me your body!" the paper figure slowly grinned, the blogger clearly saw the painted rouge mouth slowly opening, revealing blood-stained sharp teeth, inching closer, about to devour his eyes.

"Ahhhh!" The streamer trembled all over, his face devoid of blood, finally unleashing a piercing scream from deep within his throat.

Yun Qi’s eyes narrowed, she flicked out a Copper Coin, blasting a large hole in the paper figure’s face.

The blogger rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

The paper figure slowly stood up, turned its head to look at Yun Qi, and a stream of blood gushed from the large hole, covering the entire pale face.

Then, the scarlet mouth opened again, letting out a chilling laugh:

"Hehehehe... there’s a little girl here, let’s eat her together."
