After the dishes were all served, Li Suo, naturally, was eating their meal while secretly observing the ghost messengers from the West Hall.
They were too enthusiastic, too proactive!
There were fireworks, tables upon tables of fine wine and delicacies, and they had even specifically invited beauties from the underworld to perform…
They were giving too much, something was very wrong!
Wait! Beauties?
Dang Ran suddenly looked up, glancing at the dancing female ghosts and then at the ghost messengers from the West Hall.
As mentioned before, all the ghost messengers who came to greet them, as well as the ghosts who came to watch, were handsome men and beautiful women.
The ghost messengers were all wearing uniforms and carrying special ghost weapons – guns.
The ghosts were even more varied in their attire, with styles like maid outfits, fashionable male ensembles, and dominant older sisters…
Among them, furry spirits accounted for half.
Little white rabbits, cat-eared girls, wild wolves…
Before, he had only found it spectacular.
Especially those guns!
And the various ghost weapons he had seen along the way, all of which had dazzled Dang Ran.
Now, with a moment of calm, Dang Ran suddenly felt something was amiss.
The underworld was similar to the human world, how could it be full of only handsome men and beautiful women!?
How could there be so many furry creatures!?
These were clearly handpicked to be shown to the water friends in the human world!
“Brother, the ghost messengers from the West Hall are so cunning!”
Dang Ran nudged Li Suo and puffed out his cheeks.
Using their shared unspoken language, he conveyed the message.
This was the West Hall’s territory, he wasn't foolish enough to openly speak ill of others.
Li Suo raised an eyebrow at Dang Ran, signaling, ‘I’ve noticed it too.’
As a ghost who had been acting cute all the way, he had long noticed the furry ones among the West Hall’s ghost messengers.
Evidently, the West Hall had also noticed what they had noticed.
They had completely understood the preferences of the water friends in the human world.
‘Damn it (〃＞皿＜), this is too, too detestable!’
Dang Ran exhaled heavily through his nose, thinking for a long time but unable to find the right words.
Their South Hall had never gone to such lengths or been so blatant in their tactics!
Yes, tactics!
Even he and his brother had only subtly shown their ears and tails to earn some side income!
Unlike the West Hall, which had launched such a grand spectacle right from the start!
How much money did they want to rake in!?
Dang Ran instinctively counted on his fingers, and the more he thought about it, the more displeased he became, feeling like his money was being stolen.
So much money…
Their South Hall had never been so ruthless, and the West Hall was like this from the moment they arrived…
He understood the logic, but it just didn’t feel right.
‘Brother~~~’ Dang Ran pouted.
Li Suo tilted his chin, ‘Don’t panic, let’s eat their food and drink their drinks first.’
‘Okay!’
…
Jiang Lin didn’t notice Li Suo and Dang Ran’s interaction at first.
He just happened to glance at the bullet screen and saw that the water friends in the human world were all talking about the two little tigers.
He turned his head and saw the two little ghosts exchanging glances and seemingly communicating something.
Their expressions, coupled with the bullet comments, were indeed more interesting than the dancers.
The live stream’s bullet screen was always filled with witty remarks:
“@Tian Tian Pet Keeper, someone translate for us!”
“Tian Tian Pet Keeper: I raise tigers, I’m not a tiger translator.”
“I just asked the tiger, and it said ‘ao ao ao ao’~”
“The translation is here: Brother, brother, so much money! So much meat! So many ghost weapons! I can’t take it all in!”
…
Although many dishes were ordered for this table, there were also many ghost messengers.
Seeing this, the water friends couldn't help but wonder if the ghost messengers’ stomachs were bottomless pits?
Coupled with Qin Zhouzhou, a foodie, being present, by the end of the meal, not a single bit of food was wasted.
It was all basically finished.
When the West Hall’s ghost messengers returned after paying the bill, they were still amiable, their faces beaming with smiles.
The group of ghost messengers emerged from the private dining restaurant.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard an angry roar from a distance.
They saw a middle-aged man in a suit rushing out from the tall buildings on both sides of the street.
He was slightly overweight and had thinning hair.
As he ran out, it was as if flames were burning in his eyes.
“I’m done! What is all this! They don’t even treat ghosts like ghosts!”
As he ran out, he began to take off his suit jacket.
Because he was so furious, he could only manage to unbutton two buttons after a while.
“Whoever wants to do this can do it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a “bang.”
One of the West Hall ghost messengers, following behind Jiang Lin and the others, fired his gun.
The middle-aged man flinched, and sat down on the ground.
His limbs felt weak.
He looked over trembling and saw a group of ghost messengers staring directly at him.
“……”
The middle-aged man pursed his lips, his throat dry, and it took him a while to regain his voice.
“Sir, I I I?”
He just wanted to be bold and resign…
Why did they have to fire a gun?
Did resigning now cost them their lives?
At this moment, Jiang Lin and the others were also looking at the West Hall’s ghost messengers, but they didn’t say anything.
Instead, the West Hall’s ghost messengers themselves looked at the ghost messenger who fired the gun with bewildered expressions.
“Me? The gun moved first!”
The West Hall ghost messenger holding the gun, seeing everyone looking at him, opened his mouth and blurted out.
After saying it, he felt that his words were a bit off.
However, the gun really hadn’t moved first.
He raised his gun, about to explain further.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The silver handgun fired three shots.
Fortunately, they were all ghost messengers, and they reacted quickly to dodge.
Three fireworks bloomed on the ground not far away.
Looking at the hot smoke rising from the gun, the West Hall ghost messenger was stunned ⊙▃⊙.
He really hadn’t moved!
“It must be a malfunction,” the voice of Si, a member of the Ghost Artifact Workshop, suddenly sounded.
“Did you feel anything wrong before?” Da Feng Novel Network
The West Hall ghost messenger holding the gun thought for a moment and nodded repeatedly:
“Yes, yes, yes! During the welcome ceremony earlier, the fireworks in my handgun didn’t fire.”
“I even fired it a few more times then, and I was thinking of checking it after today’s work was done.”
…
When the incident happened, the water friends in the live stream hadn’t reacted.
They thought something unexpected had happened and that they were finally going to make a move against the streamer…
They instinctively wondered whether to call the police or the King Yan of the East Hall…
The key was that they couldn’t even contact the latter…
At this moment, hearing this, the water friends began to recall when the streamer and the others had first arrived at the West Hall’s underworld.
At that time, the ten ghost messengers led by Tai Qin had indeed fired their guns to set off fireworks.
“It seems there was such a thing. (Sweating)”
“I knew I hadn’t miscounted; ten ghost messengers fired, but there were only nine fireworks!”
“Thank goodness, thank goodness, it’s not like they’re going to make a move, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to help the streamer…”
“This unlucky kid…”
As soon as he typed this, the water friend immediately realized something was wrong.
He quickly stopped.
That was a ghost messenger, and no matter what, he shouldn’t say something like that.
“Pah, pah, pah, I’m so clumsy with my words.”
