"I wonder what happened in the north later."
"Yeah, are the fireworks still going?"
"Are the paper figures and paper cranes still there?"
Because the live stream camera followed Yan Luo as he left and returned to the East Hall.
So the viewers could no longer see what was happening in the north and could only guess the aftermath.
Although watching Yan Luo in action was exciting, human curiosity is what it is.
What you can't see only fuels more anticipation.
"I live in the north, let me tell you guys, I feel like the visible black shadows have decreased, almost to the point of disappearing. This is my first time seeing ghosts! (excited jpg.)"
"By the way, I heard the sound of suona, and my scalp tingled. I felt completely off, and even wanted to go out and sing along with the ghosts."
"The one upstairs is not right!"
"Actually, I also heard faint music, but it wasn't very clear. It had a very sad feeling."
"When the suona plays, all ghosts retreat!"
...
As the Four Yama Kings joined the battlefield, the troublesome ghosts in the human world were quickly cleared out.
The sky outside the window gradually brightened, the dark clouds dissipated, and the afterglow of the sunset still hung in the distance.
Many people came out of their bedrooms, pulled back the curtains, and looked out the window.
Empty streets, a quiet city.
A few cars were parked on the road.
People who hadn't had time to get out of their cars looked at the city bathed in the sunset's afterglow and tentatively stepped out.
"Hoo hoo— I'm dying to pee!"
"Is anyone there? Open the door, let me relieve myself!"
"What door? Just use a water bottle to solve it. Don't you see it's not safe outside?"
"It's safe outside now, really!"
Many people who had been hiding in companies and shops also gradually came out.
"It's over?"
"Boss, a pack of cigarettes."
"Here, here, this pack is on me."
The shop owner looked outside, and a smile slowly spread across his face.
"World peace, that's good, that's good..."
Many people had a hero dream in their hearts when they were children.
They longed for chaos in the world and the appearance of heroes.
After growing up, they realized that there weren't so many heroes in this world.
The world doesn't need to be in chaos, nor does it need a major event that could destroy humanity to happen from time to time.
Wake up when the sky is bright and start working on what you didn't finish yesterday;
Open your lunchbox when it's time, smell the food in others' bowls, and enjoy your own dishes;
In between being busy, sneak a peek at last night's TV drama or game.
And fantasize about a beautiful next time.
Another ordinary day, this is true life.
"Boss, are you still giving away cigarettes?" someone asked, approaching.
"No!" the boss's face suddenly turned stern.
Giving away one pack was a pleasure, but giving away two was cutting into his profits.
Life couldn't be without the necessities of food and money.
...
As the voices outside increased, more and more people ventured out.
"Suddenly, I feel like this smoggy air is not bad either."
"In twenty years, this is the first time I've looked at the sunset so seriously."
"I'm suddenly hungry, is anyone cooking?"
They seemed to be talking to themselves, or to the people around them.
It didn't matter if the people around them were familiar or if what they said was important.
At this moment, they just wanted to say something.
"Want to grab a meal? My treat?"
A young man looked at his female colleague.
"Thank you," the female colleague looked over and smiled, "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine."
...
Not long after.
The authorities also issued a notice, informing everyone that the danger had passed, but they should still be cautious when going out.
And try not to go to deserted places alone.
"Ah— why is it like this!!!"
At the desk.
A child, who had been caught and forced back to his homework, let out a wail.
The desk was also banged upon!
"Mom, it was almost the apocalypse, why do I still have to do homework..."
"What apocalypse? As long as the ghost messengers are still around, your homework will never see an end!"
Outside the study, the child's mother replied.
"Wuwuwuwah..."
The child wailed, "When will there be a homework apocalypse festival!"
...
...
The Underworld.
The ghosts in the human world were mostly dealt with, leaving only the cleanup and reconstruction, which was handed over to the logistics department.
Jiang Lin and other ghost messengers also returned to the Underworld.
The Ghost Shopkeeper incident was now mostly concluded.
The twenty intern ghost messengers who were called to help returned to their previous departments and were assigned other tasks.
The work of intern ghost messengers mostly involved moving where needed.
The hearses no longer had to circle District 18 but went to more places to wander.
That carload of ghosts began their journey again.
Perhaps they would encounter different people and see different scenery.
Maybe, they would also remember something during their journey.
This was also the original intention of their existence.
However, the ghost drivers would report everything they saw along the way to Jiang Lin.
It was also a way of collecting information from various regions.
When Jiang Lin needed them, the ghost drivers could return at any time.
The members of the Eighteenth Team also returned to their posts, doing the work of guiding souls.
The work was no longer as intense.
However,
Nie Jiu still got lost, and Hong Ya still liked to binge-watch dramas and novels.
Ji Yin still communicated with souls in his own way.
Li Xiao's methods of killing evil spirits were as decisive as ever, but he had also learned to prioritize the safety of souls.
Everything gradually returned to normal.
...
However, after this incident, the strength of the Eighteenth Team members had largely improved.
Among them, Nie Jiu was promoted to the Great Ghost General realm, and Hong Ya was promoted from the mid-stage of Ghost Soldier to the peak of Ghost Soldier.
Li Xiao was also promoted from the peak of the Ghost Soul realm to the early stage of Ghost Soldier.
The five intern ghost messengers no longer had to follow their seniors and could participate in work independently.
Jiang Lin once saw some team members eating and chatting together when he passed by the Ghost Market.
They were discussing the chaos of that day and the arrival of the Black and White Impermanence for support.
Clearly, the team members had also become much more familiar with each other than before.
This was not a bad thing for ghost messengers.
After all, the years of a ghost messenger were so long.
