Chapter 572 Halloween
The Halloween event schedule has been posted long ago so that everyone can know what activities are happening on Halloween.
Even though it was Halloween, the garrison did not prepare a special dinner. Everyone started eating at six o'clock, when it was still light. By the time dinner was over, the autumn sky had gradually darkened. By the time everyone went home and changed into their costumes, it was already completely dark.
All in all, the Halloween event officially began at 7:30 in the evening.
The Halloween event planned by Ella is divided into two parts.
The activities in the world of the living are mainly concentrated in the brightly lit commercial buildings. Only here, with several floors, can there be enough space to accommodate so many people. It just so happens that each store can be used as a venue for various activities.
The underworld activity is called the Test of Courage, which takes place in the darkness outside a commercial building.
Judging from the limited space, the street lights in those places are obviously insufficient. The color of some of the street lights has completely changed, some of them are on and off, and some are simply broken. The scary pumpkin lanterns are looking at passers-by, and scarecrows are shaking in the wind. You can imagine how gloomy it is.
It seems that even if tourists know that the haunted house is fake and those monsters are all disguised by the staff, or are caused by props, they will still feel scared when they enter the haunted house.
Even though everyone knows that the monsters and ghosts that appear on Halloween are fake and the naval base is absolutely safe, from another perspective, as ship girls with extraordinary powers, those monsters and ghosts should be afraid of them. After all, it takes a lot of effort for a monster to kill a person, but a ship girl can knock down a building with one shot. They should still be afraid.
Most of the shipgirls planned to experience those earthly activities first, and wait for the opportunity to participate in the courage test. Many of them immediately backed out when they knew about the courage test organized by Ella, and had no intention of participating at all. As a result, the commercial building gathered most of the shipgirls of the garrison.
One of the highlights of Halloween is trick or treating.
Taking into account that everyone has the right to participate in Halloween activities, the rules of "trick or treat" in the garrison are slightly different from the normal rules. It is no longer that children dress up in various scary costumes and ring their neighbors' doorbells door to door to ask for candy. Now anyone can ask for candy from others.
Candy is specially prepared candy that can be eaten, but it is mainly used as currency in a sense. It can be used for lotteries or exchanged for various rewards.
How could the activities Ella organized be simple?
The activity stipulates that everyone has a fixed target to mess with. The targets of the American and Japanese are basically each other, and the British, German and French are in a big fight. Then everyone has a certain amount of candy, and if someone takes it away, it's gone. Hide to protect the candy, or attack boldly. Where to hide? Hiding outside the underworld can effectively prevent opponents, the question is whether you are afraid...
For the admiral's photo album, the goal is to collect all the special photos of the admiral, such as the butler admiral, the doctor admiral, the police admiral, the courier admiral... It is said that there is also an admiral in cross-dressing. This news has not been confirmed. In addition, the admiral also hopes that she will do so. Lexington is determined to do it.
Lexington was disguised as a ghost bride with scary makeup and a white wedding dress. She was holding up the big hem of her wedding dress and found the coffee shop on the second floor of the commercial building. There she saw Akagi wearing a kimono and a pair of furry fox ears on her head, dressed as a fox demon.
Lexington looked at Akagi and thought that in history it was Zuikaku who sank Lexington, so why was her target of trouble Akagi, and then her second target was actually Shokaku, who came to Akagi's side with light movements as if floating.
Lexington patted Akagi's shoulder, waited until Akagi looked at her, pursed her lips, grinned at Akagi and said, "Trick or treat if you don't give me candy."
Akagi was a little stunned when he saw Lexington's funny side for the first time.
"Candy, candy." Lexington urged, "Trick or treat if you don't give me candy."
Akagi had naturally looked at the Halloween activity schedule, and finally realized what to do. He slowly took out the candy from his arms and put it in Lexington's hand.
"Thank you," Lexington said.
Lexington put away the candy and turned to leave. Suddenly, he felt someone tugging at his clothes. He turned around and saw Akagi standing up from his seat. There were still some food crumbs at the corners of his mouth, which made him very concerned.
Akagi eats a lot, but that doesn't mean she eats rudely. On the contrary, her eating movements are very elegant. The reason why there are food crumbs at the corners of her mouth is entirely because of Lexington. At this time, she reacted, wiped off the food crumbs, and became the elegant Akagi again. However, she seemed to have forgotten that she was now disguised as a fox demon, and her every frown and smile should be charming.
Akagi stared at Lexington, her long-time rival. Lexington dressed as a ghost bride had a strange beauty. Anyway, candy can't be thrown away like that. She also wanted to get candy to draw prizes or exchange for various prizes. What should be done now? It's all mentioned on the Halloween activity list.
Akagi made a face at Lexington, raised his hands and said, "If you don't give me candy, I'll make trouble." According to the rules, if someone makes trouble for you and takes your candy away from you, you must be more capable of making trouble than the other person if you want to get it back.
In fact, as the head of the Japanese branch of one of the eight great families in the garrison, Akagi knew what the admiral was thinking when she saw the rules on the activity list. He wanted to make people get closer by making trouble for each other. She had no hatred for Lexington, did not dislike Lexington, and did not mind cooperating with the admiral. It would be great if Lexington could become good sisters in this way.
Lexington never expected that Akagi would do that, so he had no choice but to return the candy, and not only that, he had to give him another candy.
"Haha." Akagi smiled, "Thank you, ma'am."
Akagi looked at Lexington who was staring at her and asked, "Madam, do you have any other advice?"
"It's not like I can give you any advice..." Of course, Lexington would not give up so easily.
Lexington noticed that Akagi had taken a half-eaten snack from the plate on the dining table. She reached out and snatched the half-eaten snack from Akagi, waved it in front of Akagi and ate it. Eating the half-eaten snack from Akagi really made people pay special attention, and said, "Trick or treat if you don't give me candy."
There is no way. Lexington is causing more trouble now. Akagi must return the candy to Lexington.
Next, neither Lexington nor Akagi would admit defeat. In the end, Lexington bit Akagi's fingertips, Akagi bit Lexington's ears, Lexington kissed Akagi's hair, Akagi kissed Lexington's cheek... Kaga squinted his eyes at the side.
Hood was dressed like a witch wearing a pointed hat and a black robe, and she was following Bismarck with her fat black cat Fishcake in her arms, ready to find an opportunity to attack Bismarck. She was not disgusted by such things at all, which showed her feelings. She did not simply hate Bismarck.
Bismarck dressed up as Catwoman. Beizhai prepared a sexy Catwoman costume for her. Actually, she originally planned to dress up as Frankenstein. She didn't know whether to participate in the "trick or treat" game. If she wanted to participate, her targets were many people, such as Hood, Prince of Wales, Rodney, and Royal Ark.
No matter how much Zuikaku urged her, Taiho didn't change her clothes like Hachishaku-sama. She was done with her disguise as a shrine maiden. She carefully avoided the bluefin tuna and wanted to hide outside the commercial building, but gave up after seeing the gloomy environment outside. It's normal .
Zuikaku laughs at Daiho for being timid, but suddenly notices CV-16 staring at her and becomes restless.
Desmoines cosplays as an eight-foot-tall lady. She is a heavy cruiser, but her height is no less than any battleship. Even the Lion, St. George, etc. can't stand in front of her. Just wear a pair of shoes with super high heels. Wherever she goes, everyone avoids her. Desmoines is so amazing.
Little girls go out in groups, and they take whoever they catch. Unlike those adults with deep-rooted ideas, they can mess with a lot of people. The lower the difficulty, the lower the amount of candy they can get.
Fuso didn't know how to play trick or treat. Anyway, she had already encountered several waves of people, from the demon hunter West Virginia to the four-armed monster Maryland, from the ghost rider California to the troll Tennessee. She had no candy left, but the troublemakers kept coming.
So she had to trick or treat if she didn't have candy. Now she had a few more cat whiskers on her face, a black spot on the tip of her nose, and a pair of dark circles under her eyes.
In addition to "Trick or Treat", there are of course many activities for everyone, such as the toffee eating competition.
U96 did not act together with U47 and the others to target the British ship girls who would make trouble if they were not given candies. She participated in the toffee-eating activity in the competition early on, and failed to get through even three levels.
"U96 can't even pass a single level." Santiago, who was watching the game, wagged his tail in surprise.
"Sister, just eat a few more pieces of toffee and you'll know. It's very greasy... and who knows if Ella has specially prepared some greasy sweet toffee." San Juan was wrapped in bandages.
"U96 is not such a big eater, she just has hamster disease." San Juan thought for a moment and said, "The reason why U96 is so big eater is mainly because it is a submarine. Historically, submarine sailors would eat a lot if they had the chance to dock, especially fresh vegetables and fruits... If you let U96 eat vegetables and fruits, even canned fruits are fine, but toffee is not necessarily the same."
"Oh." Santiago nodded stupidly. "Is there anyone in the tutelary fort who is good at eating candy?"
"I don't know." San Juan shook his head.
Princeton, dressed as a crazy rabbit with red eyes, looked at the horrible food in a lunch box. On the left were duck eggs, live octopus, tuna eyeballs, and bat soup. On the right were indescribable food made of octopus and chicken, bread that looked like a severed hand, and jelly that looked like a giant eyeball.
"Is there candy if you just take a bite?" Princeton asked.
"One bite, just one bite is enough." Atlanta, the crazy chef, said. In fact, Ella originally planned to make London more scary, thinking that London might add some seasonings at random, and then the strange food might become poisonous food, and really die.
"Let's just forget it." Princeton was scared.
"I'll do it." Zodiac is fearless.
Roma looked at the neatly sealed boxes on the long table and asked curiously, "You can get candy if you guess what's in the box... Can I ask what's in these boxes?"
"Friendly reminder," said Wisconsin, dressed as a devil, "all of them are alive."
"What are living things?" asked Roma.
"Living things are living things," Wisconsin said. "Living things, chicks, ducklings, and so on."
"Little chicks and little ducks?" Roma was happy. "No big deal. Leave it to me."
"I just gave an example, I didn't say what was in it," Wisconsin said. "I just said there were chicks and ducklings and some other things."
"What is it?" Rome asked again. The unknown is the most terrifying.
"I can't say any more... All I can say is there's nothing dangerous," Wisconsin said.
"Are there any bugs?" Roma said, "I'm most afraid of bugs."
"No," Wisconsin said, thinking that everyone was afraid of bugs.
Rome still didn't dare to take action.
Wisconsin sneered at Roma and fanned the flames, saying, "Oh, Roma... you want to defeat Veneto and become the big sister in your current state, how ridiculous... I've made it so clear that there is no danger, but you're still hesitating... You're so timid and you still want to achieve great things?"
"Hurry up and decide whether to play or not. If you don't, there are others who can play." Wisconsin said, "A lot of people played just now and took away a lot of candies, but you are the only one who is afraid of this and that... It's ridiculous." Who said that? No one was playing just now. Everyone just took a look and left.
"Play, play." Everyone was watching, so how could he back down at this moment? Roma carefully reached his hand into the box, touched it once but didn't feel anything, touched it again and found something, touched it again... and pulled his hand out like lightning.
"What did you touch?" Pompey asked. She was not very brave enough to participate in the activities prepared by Ella.
"Snake, snake, snake." Roma patted his chest with lingering fear.
"There's no snake." Wisconsin said that putting a snake in a box for everyone to touch was too much.
"What is that?" Roman asked.
"Guess for yourself," Wisconsin said.
"Okay." Roma muttered, "Long, smooth... and smells fishy." She raised her hand and sniffed.
After listening to Roma's mumbling, Wisconsin didn't need to lift the black cloth covering the boxes to know what was in the box that Roma touched. She put the eel in there. In addition, there were bullfrogs, sea cucumbers, starfish, geckos, and other strange things that were all put in there by her.
I have experienced all the activities in the commercial building. There are many activities outside the commercial building, and the candies rewarded by those activities are very rich.
In short, those brave people are already standing at the door of the commercial building, looking at the gloomy garrison and eager to give it a try.
