On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the Gate of Hell opened!
It was a rule passed down since ancient times on Blue Water Star that every household had to burn ghost paper outside their homes to send away the little ghosts.
To put it bluntly, it was like giving candy to mischievous children who knocked on the door on Valentine's Day. The purpose of bribing passers-by with money was to get them to leave their homes as soon as possible.
The so-called July was the month of ghosts. This month was the month when the underworld allowed ghosts to go home to visit their relatives.
From the first day of the seventh month, the Ghost Gate gradually opened, but there were not many people who were allowed to enter. The inspection was also strict. Only those who had a real family member's wish or had a great grievance or missed their relatives could come out of the Ghost Gate and return to the human world.
It was not until the fifteenth of the seventh month that the Gate of the Dead opened. It lasted until the sixteenth of the seventh month. During these twenty-four hours, both big and small ghosts appeared. It was inevitable that there would be idle ghosts who took advantage of the troubled waters to play in the world of the living. The underworld would also turn a blind eye.
After the 16th of July, the gates of hell were small. At this time, if the ghosts who returned did not go out, the official dish would be destroyed. They would be thrown into the oil pot, climbed the mountain of knives, drowned in water, and roasted in fire. They would suffer endlessly.
Therefore, ghosts who came out to play would usually return to the underworld before the fifteenth of July.
And the most chaotic time in the Yang Realm was undoubtedly the 15th of July, which was the 14th of July, 23rd of July, and the 1st of July, 1st of July.
According to the lunar calendar, 23:00 on the 14th of July was already the 15th of July, the first hour of the 15th of July.
Therefore, on the 14th of July, as soon as the sky turned dark, bonfires were lit in front of the doors of every household.
Although there were many fires on this day every year, the government had never banned the burning of joss paper because it could really cause trouble.
After burning the joss paper, every household would close their doors and windows. No one would go out on the streets unless something big happened.
However, this year was different.
It was close to midnight, and a chilly wind blew outside the house. According to tradition, the little ghosts would leave after taking the paper money prepared outside the door.
However, this night, the cold wind blew endlessly.
When it was almost midnight, the streets were suddenly crowded with people!
There were actually many people pouring out of their homes.
However, these people were delirious and walked like zombies, as if they were sleepwalking.
Their target was very clear: the cinema closest to their home.
At the midnight screening of the cinema, the staff yawned out of boredom. Around their necks hung the evil-warding amulet issued by the company for night shift employees.
"What a f * cking joke.'The Legend of the Ghost King of the Capital' was filmed for ghosts, right? And a 100% screening rate! It'll still be zero box office!"
"Haha, I heard that Wu Entertainment Group has bought all the movies tonight at a discounted price. All the other film producers were overjoyed!”
"How can I not be happy? Which year did it not have zero attendance tonight?! If it was you, you would sell it too, even for a dollar, right?”
"That's right! One dollar could even buy a popsicle…F * ck!”
"Don't be so shocked. Did you see a ghost?”
The screaming employees stared at the elevator as if they had seen a ghost because a group of people had rushed out.
Suddenly, the stairs were pushed open and people swarmed into the cinema.
In an instant, the deserted cinema hall was filled with people.
The few employees on duty were scared silly.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed,"F * ck, where am I? Why am I at the cinema? Am I f * cking possessed by a ghost?"
Instantly, there were echoes, screams, and even cries.
"I want to go home. I'm sleeping! How did you get here?"
"F * ck you, listen to the eerie wind outside. If you want to go back, go back. I'm not leaving tonight!”
"I'm not leaving either. F * ck, there are ghosts everywhere outside. Why don't you go out and play with them? Give me two movie tickets and a bucket of popcorn.”
"Yes, a movie. Damn, why was it all the Legend of the Ghost Kings in the capital?”
"F * ck, it's really all 'Legend of the Ghost King in the Capital City.' The screening rate is 100%, and all the screenings are up until six in the morning? F * ck! Wu Liang, you're amazing!"
While the people who woke up cursed and cried, there were still many walking corpses who had already lined up to buy tickets and were ready to enter the venue without saying a word.
For a moment, the entire capital, no, all the first and second-tier cities that were screening "The Legend of the Ghost King in the capital" at 0:00 p. m., had cinemas packed to the brim.
Without exception, the audience did not know how they got to the cinema. It was suspected that they were sleepwalking or possessed by ghosts.
However, none of the audience admitted that they were sleepwalking, but they could not prove that they were possessed by a ghost!
This unprecedented movie viewing event was recorded in the history of movies as: Ghost Night Arena!
Wave after wave of audiences arrived. There were no other films to choose from other than " The Legend of the Ghost King of the Capital City." Therefore, the entire theater was showing " The Legend of the Ghost King of the Capital City " at the same time, and every theater was filled to the brim.
Some timid people were afraid that they would be scared to death by watching a horror movie at this time. He planned to sit in the theater lobby for the night and rush home at dawn.
They could see that the audience who had just left seemed to have lost their souls. They either shook their heads and sighed, or they cried and wiped their tears.
He went forward to ask if she was frightened. In the end, the audience who had seen it all replied that it was not scary at all. It was just too touching and a little unbearable.
Therefore, the timid people could not help but be curious. They bought tickets to see how touching it was.
