Chapter 38 Ghost Market【5】
Seeing that smiling face, Yuan Tong'er was furious.
"Fuck your sister! Where have you been!"
When the young man saw someone coming, he stood up and helped Yuan Tong'er up.
Lu Xingzhou clicked his tongue twice, feeling a little dissatisfied, "Girls, please pay attention to your quality when speaking."
Yuan Tong'er was not angry, "I have no quality, what should I pay attention to?! Humph!"
As he said this, he felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he hit his arm twice more.
Lu Xingzhou, on the other hand, kept watching her tease him with a smile, not being as knowledgeable as her.
"Everyone..."
A familiar voice drew everyone's attention instantly, and a puppet appeared in front of them, opening and closing its mouth and speaking.
Yuan Tong'er was instantly frightened out of her mind and got behind Lu Xingzhou. Inevitably, Lu Xingzhou was ridiculed again.
"Everyone, the Ghost Market Master invites you."
The puppet also spoke softly.
After saying that, Yi Zheng walked towards the tall building minding his own business.
Everyone paused slightly and followed it.
It was also strange. When Yuan Tong'er walked by herself, she always felt that the high-rise building was so far away, but when she followed the puppet, she arrived in a short time.
The eaves of the tall buildings are staggered, the corridors are winding, there is a tall building every five steps, and a pavilion every ten steps, which is majestic and majestic.
It's just that this building is dim, without any lights, and looks like a ghost building in disrepair.
"Is there really anyone living here?"
Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but ask.
As if someone heard her words, strings of lanterns instantly fell from the eaves on all sides of the tall building. A bright red light suddenly lit up, and the whole building seemed to come alive.
There was a person standing downstairs, with a slim figure, greeting them very politely.
"Are you all here?"
Whispering softly, Yuan Tong'er recognized him as the man who wanted to sell her puppets before.
"The younger one's name is Chi Guo. He is the master's personal attendant. Come with me."
After Chi Guo finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the tall building. Yuan Tong'er and the others continued to follow.
The long corridor was like a belt, twisting and turning, and soon we arrived at the main hall.
Although the outside of the building was hung with red lanterns from top to bottom, none of them were lit inside the building. Only the red lanterns outside the window were reflected through the window paper.
The evening wind blew strongly, the gauze curtains were heavy, and there was something indescribably strange in the air. Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but look around, and accidentally bumped into Lu Xingzhou in front of him.
"Why did you stop? Aren't you leaving?"
Yuan Tong'er asked.
Lu Xingzhou said nothing and looked at Chi Guo who also stopped in front.
Chi Guo turned around, took off his mask, and a face that smiled brighter than Lu Xingzhou appeared.
It's just that this smile doesn't have any warmth at all, it's more like a mask than the mask he wore before!
"Everyone, the master said that this girl is the only one I see. The others should wait here!"
Without giving everyone too much time to think, Chi Guo left immediately after speaking.
Yuan Tong'er could only catch up quickly for fear of falling behind.
There was a large staircase in the center of the hall, and Yuan Tong'er stepped up it. Dust suddenly flew up under the feet, and the hem of the skirt rose without wind. Yuan Tong'er frowned, how long has it been since it was cleaned?
"The master is waiting for the girl up there."
Chi Guo's voice rang in his ears, making Yuan Tong'er shiver. She turned around suddenly, but her clown-like face was gone.
"Chikuo?"
Yuan Tong'er called softly, but no one answered.
The main hall behind him actually disappeared, leaving only the endless stairs at his feet.
Yuan Tong'er's whole body was numb, and she trembled and called out again, "Chi Guo?"
Still no one responded.
She gritted her teeth and looked up at the end of the stairs. Chi Guo said that the Ghost Market Lord is up there!
Yuan Tong'er lifts the hem of her skirt and makes peace with it as soon as it comes! That’s it!
She didn't know how long she had been walking, but she was dripping with sweat as she climbed until she finally reached the end.
Yuan Tong'er held on to the armrest and raised her head while panting heavily. The hall was similar to the one before. There were still few lights, heavy gauze curtains, and a ghostly atmosphere.
"Chikuo?"
Yuan Tong'er shouted again, why doesn't this guy lead people well?
She lifted up the gauze curtain and walked slowly to the center of the hall. There was a high platform at the back of the hall.
There are also heavy gauze curtains on the high platform. Behind the gauze curtain, there seems to be a person sitting.
"Are you the ghost market owner?"
Yuan Tong'er asked.
The man moved but didn't speak. He just stared at Yuan Tong'er, making her feel uncomfortable, as if she was being treated as a midnight snack by a beast in the dark.
Yuan Tong'er pursed her lips and asked bravely again: "Are you?"
The lights suddenly turned on, and Yuan Tong'er was so excited that she subconsciously closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a Nuo mask like hers appeared in front of her eyes.
She was so frightened that she took half a step back and became quiet again after seeing clearly that it was a Nuo mask.
The man wore a mask and a large cloak, and his body was filled with a biting cold air that made people shun him.
"What's the matter with me?"
The voice was indescribably weird. It was neither male nor female, nor older nor younger. There was no reason for it.
Yuan Tong'er's big eyes suddenly flashed, and for the first time she didn't dare to play tricks in front of others.
"...I want to ask you for something."
"what's up?"
Yuan Tong'er swallowed her saliva and said, "My name is on the reward list. I want to ask you to help me."
The ghost market owner didn't move, "Why?"
Yuan Tong'er was slightly startled, "What...why?"
The ghost market leader said: "Why should I help you?"
Yuan Tong'er asked.
The owner of the ghost market took a step closer to her and continued: "There are so many people on the list. If every one of them came to me and asked me to help them, then I would help them. Then what will my ghost market do in the future? Business?"
Yuan Tong'er was silent. She actually knew this would be the result.
The friendship between people is just a relationship of interest between you and me. Only those with great use value are qualified to negotiate terms with others.
"What do you need me to do?"
Yuan Tong'er asked.
The ghost market owner laughed, and the strange sound vibrated back and forth in the empty hall, making it even more terrifying.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
He asked rhetorically.
Yuan Tong'er calmed down, and her light-colored pupils were even more beautiful under the flickering candlelight.
"I walked in the ghost market for a long time and could not reach this high-rise building, but just now Chiguo's puppet led the way, and the time for a stick of incense has come.
It can be seen that there is a connection between this tall building and the puppet.
When I first entered the ghost market, Chiguo couldn't wait to find me and wanted to sell me the puppet. Didn't you just want that puppet to bring me here? "
But she refused at that time because she was afraid of the puppets.
"Since you took the initiative to find me, there must be something you need me to do.
Since you and I both want something from each other, let’s stop beating around the bush and how about we be honest with each other? "
Although I don't know why the ghost market owner bothered to bring her here, it might not be a bad thing for her.
It's better to have an equal exchange with him than to think hard about how to get him to help.
The ghost market owner smiled again, "Anything can be done?"
Yuan Tong'er nodded, "Except for killing people, setting fires, violating laws and disciplines, and not doing things that violate human ethics, anything will do!"
