The coffin was opened.
The city lord's expression suddenly condensed.
Inside the coffin, there is a girl who is "sleeping". Her face is peaceful, as if she is having a beautiful and gorgeous dream.
"This is one of your people." Lin Chen said.
The city lord's face darkened, and he could tell at a glance that the girl was dead.
Even though he had some guesses about the situation of the humans in the ghost market, the moment he saw the corpses of his people, he still felt extremely heavy.
He once lost everything.
Today, he cherishes everyone immensely.
"How did you meet her?" The city lord's voice became a little dry.
He saw a corpse as soon as he arrived. The ghost market was more cruel than he expected.
The situation of other people is even more conceivable.
Lin Chen did not hide anything, but told the city lord what he had seen and heard during the day.
The city lord's body trembled when he heard that those people were being kept in captivity like animals.
This is a ghost that reaches the sky. He has been an invincible strong man in his past life and this life.
But at this time, he couldn't control his emotions.
"Tell me the route there." The city lord's eyes turned red.
Sadness and anger filled his heart.
"Brother, you should calm down. There are ghosts and gods in the ghost market. Otherwise, I would have rescued all those people long ago."
Lin Chen reminded.
"I know, I just want to see them." The city lord explained.
He has lost everything. In this life, he cannot be carried away by anger.
"That's okay."
Lin Chen thought for a while, then told the city lord how to get to the last underground space and some important points to pay attention to.
It's best to wait until tomorrow, only when there are ghosts to buy humans, then you can sneak in with the ghosts inside.
"I see."
The city lord left, his steps extremely heavy.
Looking at his back, Lin Chen was not really at peace inside.
If Blue Star perishes, the fate will definitely not be better than that of the people in the City Lord's world.
...
Early next morning.
As expected, the city lord left the inn early.
On this day, Lin Chen didn't do much, he just continued to harvest ghosts in the inn.
For the ghosts in the ghost market, the business in the deserted warehouse is extremely dangerous. Therefore, not even a single ghost came to investigate today.
There are law enforcers in the ghost market.
But those ghosts before, even the Black Abyss ghost, are dead to the ghost city.
Because this was the inn they broke into.
This kind of thing that is not within the rules, for the ghost market, means life and death, wealth and honor.
So no one would pay much attention to it.
And today, there wasn't even a ghost in the inn who came to check out the situation.
There are only those foreign ghosts who are ignorant of everything and are ready to stay and eat and drink here.
The ingredients for lunch are very simple.
The chef ghost's left leg combined with the obedient water knocked down all the ghosts here.
And after night, the chef ghost's right leg was gone.
Only the body and head were left.
His miserable appearance frightened the landlady and Leng Ying into panic.
After waiting for the chef ghost, it will be my turn.
At night.
The city lord finally returned.
His expression was silent, and nothing strange could be seen. As soon as he arrived at the inn, he entered his room.
Apparently, he succeeded in meeting the imprisoned people.
And the city lord did as he said, he just took a look and didn't cause any trouble.
After nightfall, the city lord knocked on Lin Chen's door again.
this time
He showed up with two jugs of wine.
"I saw them." The city owner took a sip of wine and looked a little disappointed.
Lin Chen also took a sip.
This is not Yin wine, but a strong wine from the human world.
Lin Chen didn't speak.
"You know what? I almost couldn't control my emotions." The city lord took a deep breath.
"I understand, because I almost took action directly at that time."
Lin Chen nodded.
Even when he saw that purgatory scene, he couldn't calm down.
Not to mention the city lord who is closely related to those people.
"The ghosts are vicious, full of hostility and desire in their hearts, and have a natural hostility towards humans. When humans fall into their hands, they will definitely be brutally abused and tortured." Although the city lord is also a ghost, Lin Chen still said this.
This is what he knows about ghosts.
Of the ghosts I have encountered over the years, let alone benevolent thoughts, only a handful of them can maintain their inner selves.
This is why he can respect his former principal Gui and the three ghosts Dong Potian.
"There is great terror between life and death, and it is extremely mysterious, just like being born in water. He used to think about the humans in our world, but after turning into a ghost, the memory of the past disappeared, and the original conscience was dominated by resentment, just like It’s like a different soul.”
The city lord was a little sad. He knew where the evil spirit of the ghost came from.
But after thinking about the people in the underground world, he took a big sip of strong wine and a look of anger appeared on his face: "But those beasts that keep humans in captivity deserve to die!"
"It's not easy to deal with ghosts and gods." Lin Chen also took a sip of wine.
"The ghost and god are in a special situation. If they can save people, there is no chance at all." The city lord said slowly.
Lin Chen was startled, then looked at the city lord.
"Brother Xian, I actually know something about the situation in the ghost market. The owner of the ghost market, also known as Master Yu, was once the master of a copy."
"I know this, but this piece of information only proves that he is more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts and gods."
"Then do you know why he took the risk of offending many ghosts and gods in the terrifying world to build this ghost market?" Lin Chen thought for a while, then shook his head.
In the past two days, he had been waiting for the trading day to start. In addition to exploring the situation of those humans, he only focused on catching ghosts. He had not thought about such deep-seated issues.
"He is collecting desires. The ability of the former dungeon master gave him the ability to absorb desires and enhance himself."
"Psychic power?"
"It's almost the same, but not exactly the same. Mind power is the special energy formed by thoughts, and the desire he absorbs is the emotion before the mind power is formed."
The city lord's words reminded Lin Chen of his former foreman ghost.
That was his first copy, and that ghost had the ability to absorb fear emotions to improve itself.
"In the ghost market, everything is included to stimulate the desires of those who come, whether it is lust, desire for money, desire for a sense of power, desire for survival, all greed and desires are his nourishment." City Lord Said slowly.
Lin Chen took a breath of cold air and felt how terrifying this Master Yu was.
With such a large ghost market providing support, its strength is estimated to exceed Lin Chen's original expectations again.
At the same time, Lin Chen felt himself carefully, and soon his expression darkened slightly.
Because he discovered that there was a slight change in his body at some point.
It was a feeling of weakness, like a loss of strength.
This means that, unknowingly, his emotions have also been absorbed by the so-called Master Yu. This feeling of being tricked by a ghost made him very unhappy, but this was not the time to talk about it.
After sealing himself with mental power, he asked: "What state is this guy in now?"
"The ghosts and gods are high-level, and the ghost species is very special, and its strength is far beyond that of the same level." The city lord confirmed.
City Lord versus Ghost
He knew a lot about the city, and Lord Yu was also an extremely mysterious existence in the ghost market. At least, Lin Chen didn't ask anything from the three ghosts downstairs.
"That's going to be really tricky." Lin Chen frowned and said, even if he went to the mining area to shake people off, he might not be able to beat this guy.
"But there is no chance at all, because the time for him to really absorb his desire with all his heart will be tomorrow night."
"Trading day?"
"Yes, that was when the ghost market's desires were most concentrated. At that time, he would integrate himself with the entire ghost market and absorb the desires. At that time, his mental will would slow down, as if he had entered some kind of It's like sleeping, and that's when we have the opportunity to save people."
Lin Chen was surprised: "Where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"
"It's reliable. My master, the great elder, told me." The city lord is sure.
It was indeed the great elder.
This fragment of the reincarnation mastering platform is so mysterious and special that even Yuan has noticed it. In fact, now, Lin Chen no longer thinks that the great elder is only as strong as the sky.
Even if he didn't show any special power, judging from the fact that Yuan's incarnation would take the initiative to mention "Martial Arts God", the other party would not be that simple.
At the very least, from Lin Chen's own perspective, as a heaven-level expert, but without exposing his previous special deeds, even if he saw it, he would just look away as an ant.
How could I keep it in mind?
But this is just Lin Chen's guess.
"Brother Xian, I need you to help me." The city lord stated his request and then said: "This matter may be dangerous, so I will compensate you. As for the conditions of compensation, it is up to you."
Lin Chen shook his head and did not take advantage of others' danger.
In fact, even without the city lord, he was still prepared to rescue those people, and even planned to stay in the ghost market after the transaction in the ghost market was over.
If the city lord had a plan, it would be equivalent to shortening this time.
"They are all human beings. I have no reason to sit back and ignore them. Brother, you underestimate me." Lin Chen said with a smile.
Chengzheng looked up, and then laughed movedly: "Brother, I won't say any more polite words. After this, I owe you a favor."
This time, his "good brother" title became more sincere.
"On the trading days of the ghost market, the will of desire is mainly focused on trading various shops, and the rear will not pay too much attention. After all, the ghost market only provides human flesh and blood and never sells humans to the outside world.
At that time, I will look for opportunities to sneak into the so-called underground space, but in order to avoid being discovered, I need you, dear brother, to do something more sensational in the ghost market, and preferably to inspire other ghosts. desire, so as to attract more attention. "
Originally, this job was planned to be handed over to the Water Ghost King.
But the Water Ghost King's strength is average. If he really succeeds in this matter, he will definitely die after being targeted by many ghosts. The power of a mere ghost king is too small.
And Lin Chen's strength can not only protect himself, but also do better.
Lin Chen thought for a while and nodded.
This is no burden to him at all.
He came to the ghost market and was just waiting for the trading day, so he wouldn't be too honest in the first place.
To put it bluntly, what he explained to the city lord was completely smooth sailing.
However, Lin Chen still said: "Actually, if it's to save people, it will be smoother for me to go than for you to go."
Lin Chen's strength has surpassed that of the city lord, and he possesses an artifact such as the invisibility cloak. If he is discovered, as long as he does not use indiscriminate range attacks, the possibility of escape is not small.
In other words, his role is actually higher than that of the city lord.
"That's too dangerous. It's a huge favor to help me attract Lust's attention. I can't let you take the risk for me." The city lord refused.
He knew Lin Chen's strength, but he was facing ghosts and gods after all.
Although the city lord said it simply, he actually had the mentality of dying, and it was him who was saved.
People cannot let Lin Chen be put in danger.
When Lin Chen heard this, he knew that the city lord had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to give up.
After that, the two chatted about other topics.
With memories in mind, the city lord told Lin Chen some things about the past world.
"At that time, there were seven countries in the world. They were at war all the time, and the people were not living well. Although I was born to be a king, the country I was in was always the weakest in terms of overall strength."
As the city lord told him, Lin Chen had a certain understanding of the city lord's previous life and the human world, but his expression became more and more suspicious.
It wasn't until the city lord told him that he had wiped out Liuhe and established the largest kingdom, and that the car and the car were in the same track and the book was in the same text, that Lin Chen finally couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, is your surname Ying?"
"how do you know?"
"..."
Fortunately, after explanation, it was found that the original name of the city lord was not Zheng Gao, but Ying Chi. As for the country, it was not the Seven Kingdoms that Lin Chen subconsciously thought of.
The city lord told some stories, which also satisfied Lin Chen's curiosity.
Finally, Lin Chen also tried to ask about the cultivation system of the city lord's world.
After all, in the underground world, Lin Chen saw how special those people were when they exploded with power.
That kind of power is not just ghost power, or rather, it is like some kind of transformed ghost power.
"The people in our world have special physiques compared to ordinary people. Qi and blood can form a perfect fusion with ghost power. It is difficult to achieve it the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, I would have found a way to pass on the cultivation method to Blue Star. "
Lin Chen used his mental energy to scan the woman in the coffin.
His internal organs, from the inside to the outside, were not found to be any different from his own.
But since the city lord said so, Lin Chen didn't ask any more questions.
The other party had no reason to lie to him about this kind of thing.
Moreover, his fusion power is that the more attributes he fuses, the stronger he becomes, but the transformation of ghost power is of little significance.
After the city lord chatted with Lin Chen for a long time, he left drunkenly.
This bit of wine is like drinking water to Tongtian Gui.
The city lord just has too much psychological fluctuations, and everyone gets drunk even if he is not drunk.
The next day.
Lin Chen once again harvested two groups of ghosts from the inn. After only a small part of the body of the chef ghost remained, the trading day of the ghost market finally started at eight o'clock in the evening.
