Chapter 230: Do You Want to Eat Candy?
Ghost Market.
Whether in the dungeon or outside the screen, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but think of this word.
Unlike what is described in literature or film and television works, the markets opened by ghosts always seem to be retro, either in the mountains or in desolate mountain villages.
Like this, the "ghost market" combined with the modern shopping mall makes people feel creepy and weird after witnessing it.
Those "people" active in the mall are obviously not normal people.
"Is this an image, a fake person, or... a ghost?"
Pei Minghuan's voice was also trembling.
They stood here, but it seemed as if they didn't exist. No "people" noticed them, and no "people" looked at them.
Players and customers in the mall seemed to exist in two time and space. It's just that these two time and space overlapped for some reason.
"Can they see us?"
Lin Yisheng couldn't help asking.
This question was just a sudden thought for him, and he didn't expect to get any answer.
But Zheng Xun, as a good kid who always answers questions, was the first to give an answer.
And he didn't just give it verbally, he also took actual action.
"You'll know if you try it."
As soon as he said this, the others saw a black shadow flashing past their eyes. The next second, Zheng Xun appeared in front of the family of three.
"Hello."
He half squatted down and looked at the child at eye level. The little girl seemed to become a little introverted after meeting a stranger, hiding behind her parents.
"Hello."
She whispered.
Zheng Xun took out a piece of candy from his coat pocket, which immediately attracted the girl's attention.
"Want some candy? This is for you."
The girl was obviously distracted by the candy, but she was a polite child and didn't forget to look up and ask for her parents' consent.
The candy was taken by the mother.
"Thank you."
The woman smiled and nodded to Zheng Xun to thank him.
But no one heard her voice.
She opened her mouth, and from the changing shape of her mouth, it could be seen that she was thanking him.
But no sound was made.
...
This is very strange.
Huo Ziyan was bold. After Zheng Xun stopped the family of three, he also went up to observe.
It didn't seem so from a distance, but when he got closer, Huo Ziyan found that these "people" wandering in the mall were actually a little bit unlike humans.
Although their eyes were clearly black and white, the black eyeballs seemed to be somewhat deviated from where they should be, their eyes were not focused, and their eyeballs were expanding outward.
It was also strange that they didn't speak out loud.
At the same time, Huo Ziyan found that these "people" seemed to be intentionally imitating the actions of normal people. They should not be good at standing, so they always changed their body center of gravity, sometimes supporting with their left foot, and sometimes switching to their right foot.
In short, these "things" are a kind of monster that tries hard to imitate humans.
Huo Ziyan found the clues, but did not make a sound or panic, but stood silently beside Zheng Xun and continued to observe.
Seeing that the two of them were in the front, the people of the Silver Snow Guild also tried to move forward.
Zheng Xun's candy was accepted by the little girl, who tilted her head, thanked him, and left with her parents.
