"It doesn't feel right."

Li Bai said, "This is not a place to receive guests. Where are the dragonflies?"

"Dragonfly passed away last year, and now the ladybug is in charge of business."

The receptionist's calm answer.

"I don't care about dragonflies or ladybugs." Li Bai was unmoved and stared at him: "Why are there fewer and fewer people? Isn't it better to talk about business as soon as possible?"

"I'm afraid you're not here to discuss business, are you?"

The receptionist said slowly: "To be honest, I never thought that the two of you would come to the door so quickly. I think there are some misunderstandings that need to be resolved, so I'm here to wait."

"Please rest assured, the ghost market is a free place, and it will definitely not lose its courtesy. If you two are unintentionally, you can leave."

He took a step back and pointed out the direction of the exit, as if he glanced at the hilt of the sword in Li Bai's hand: "We have no ill intentions and dare not understand the sharpness of the knight move."

Li Bai looked at Xun Qing.

Unexpectedly, shortly after entering the ghost market, his identity was exposed. Wait, could this guy's identity have been exposed long ago, but he was discovered as soon as he came to the door?

Isn’t this just a trap?

Xun Qing was also stunned and confused.

"Please don't be surprised. Even if you don't come, you are planning to visit me. It's not surprising that you can notice your movements.

However, unilaterally hiding the head and the tail is too unreasonable, so let me show my sincerity first."

The receptionist reached out and took off the hood from his head.

Expose his mask.

A scarlet red.

No, that's not a mask, because no mask can carve such a lifelike texture, and no mask will expose both eyeballs.

That guy's face was stripped off!

At this moment, he seemed to be smiling at the two of them, but the exposed texture became more and more ferocious.

"Next, a wandering soul, known as 'Red Face'."

He said, "I wonder if this face can win the trust of others?"

Li Bai was slightly shocked.

I never thought that the red face, known as the King of Hundred Ghosts, actually had such a face that looked like an evil ghost.

"When I was young, I made some mistakes. When I discovered it, I regretted it. Fortunately, although I damaged some face, I could still maintain my life."

Chimiong explained calmly and led his hand to the front: "Please come with me, the place is right in front."

Behind the door, outside the courtyard.

There have been many people gathering in an open space next to the river.

Under the moonlight, the figures in gray clothes were covered with pale masks on their faces, as if they had already become familiar with each other, and they cooperated skillfully, silently transported the goods, packed them onto the car, and transported them away.

Through the open box, Li Bai found that it was stuffed with mess of cloth and old clothes, and he couldn't help but pause. He guessed that they were smuggling what fragile items they were smuggling and wrapped in so many soft items.

But Chiwei seemed to know what he was thinking. She just smiled slightly and knocked over a box, and the things inside fell out. Apart from the dirty and torn clothes, there was nothing left.

"Do you know how we, the group of people, came to Ghost Market?"

He suddenly asked, "How did we become what we are today."

Li Bai looked over.

"These masks that everyone is afraid of now actually originated from a group of homeless people in Chang'an City."

He stroked the wound on his face and laughed softly: "At the earliest, we homeless people were just looking for a place that would allow us to barter...

In order to avoid the expulsion of bullies and managers, you must choose remote places, sneak and hide.

We used a pair of shoes, a quilt, and a day's hard work to change to an old clothes. In order to survive, we came to the ghost market, hoping to have a place to live here."

Li Bai smiled coldly: "So, you have to tell me that everything you do is involuntarily?"

"I admit that human greed has no end. If we become like this now, we will naturally have no choice but to do so, but why doesn't Chang'an need us to become like this?"

"All we can do is to try to make other wanderers live a better life," said Chimiya.

“That’s the problem.”

Li Bai said: "I didn't realize that killing me or killing the second-hand cargo institution next to me will make the wanderers in the city easier."

The second-hand cargo authority glared at him, not daring to speak out.

"That's the mistake we made."

He lowered his eyes red and looked at the last thing on the ground: "Someone is shaken by money, bewitched by greed, and violates the precepts, and will pay the price."

On the ground, when the white cloth was torn apart, a pale body was revealed.

The scars on the chest were exposed.

It was the attacker during the day!

The red face bent down, took off the mask of the dead, and once again revealed the ugly face covered with scars.

At the same time, around the courtyard, everyone took off their masks and showed an equally ferocious face. Everyone's face seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, with their mouths and eyes slanted, and their faces were beyond recognition!

Under the dim moonlight, those numb and dull faces looked at Li Bai and the others, and they instantly made Li Bai feel that he had walked into the underworld.

The chill is so cold.

"What is this?" Li Bai frowned.

"This is the price you have to pay to wear this mask."

He said with a faint face, "I lost everything I had before and gave up the possibility of survival in the sun, and from then on I will never see the light. Only the ghost market can accommodate him and become such a living ghost...

Correspondingly, they also received the protection of the ghost market, and bid farewell to the past that they could not bear to look back on - debt, sin, vendetta, reward, pursuit, control, order... Everything under the sun has nothing to do with us."

He said, "This is the so-called 'yin and yang separation', and it is also the [price] of surviving."

In silence, Li Bai only felt creepy.

When you look around with ugly "ghosts" with ugly faces, you can feel the chill that penetrates your bones from the numb pupils.

Are they really alive?

Or is it just a puppet of this ghost market?

After giving up life in the sun, what is the meaning left to join here besides still alive?

"No mercy. Compared with death, everything else is insignificant."

When he shook his head red face and looked down at the corpse under his feet, his eyes became disappointed: "This idiot, who believed Wu Yougong's promise and violated the precepts, not only killed himself, but also almost killed others."

A white mask from a ghost market attacked in broad daylight with a cannon cart in the downtown area.

If it is spread, the neutral status of the ghost market will inevitably be questioned, and when that ambiguous balance is broken, the situation will inevitably deteriorate rapidly.

At that time, how can the ghost market, which has lost its trust in customers, survive in its current attitude?

If you make a mistake, you will be punished.

But if you want to recover your mistake, you have to pay the price!

At that moment, Chiwei raised her hand and Li Bai heard the sound of drawing a sword close at hand. Behind Chiwei, the silent white mask suddenly took a step forward and pulled out a short sword.

Slashed in an instant!

But the direction of attack is not the direction of the two of them.

Instead, he aimed at the red-faced arm!

collapse!

The loud roar of steel burst out, and the broken short sword flew up and fell in the air.

Li Bai has already put his sword in the sheath.

The red face was stunned and then suddenly realized: "Is it impossible for one arm to calm your anger? Then Master Xiang..."

"Enough!"

Li Bai suppressed his anger and interrupted him: "What do you think of life as? Are you bargaining chips for trading?"

“…”

In silence, the red face stared at Li Bai's pupils. After a long time, his ferocious face twitched, as if he was smiling bitterly: "Sometimes, this is the most straightforward method."

"There is something more terrible in this world than death, that is, living meaninglessly."

Li Bai said coldly: "I don't like your way of survival, and don't expect me to accept your rules and principles... I have only one purpose here, that is, the whereabouts of Wu Yougong.

Apart from that, I have no interest.”

"Mr. Wu You have left."

The red face sighed helplessly: "Half a month ago, all his business in the ghost market had been withdrawn, and his power was rapidly shrinking in all parts of the city... It was like evaporating, even the wanderers all over the city could not find any clues.
To be continued...
