Everyone present except He Yuelian knew how much harm a ghost, a ghost with wisdom could cause.
Wang Xiaoming once had a theory about whether ghosts would have consciousness, and whether they would be born with the same intelligence as humans when the level of terror reaches a limit.
The basis of this theory is not very complete, but various studies have shown that as the ghost's own supernatural powers increase, the possibility of giving birth to wisdom will never be less than 30%.
After the Huanggang Village incident, two S-class supernatural incidents broke out in Dachang City. After Qin Lao imprisoned the ghost and returned to the laboratory with the ghost coffin, the possibility became 40%.
Cold sweat broke out on Cao Yang's forehead.
Among the people present, except He Yuelian, he was the only one who knew the terror of this black cat best.
It can be said irresponsibly that this cat is also a BOSS in the ghost market.
Li Jun and Lu Zhiwen stopped in front of Wang Xiaoming. They stared at the strange black cat. From the moment the cat started talking, they knew in their hearts that they could not afford to offend this cat.
But if you can't afford to offend them, you have to offend them now. Professor Wang says you can't die here, absolutely not!
Li Leping lowered his eyes slightly. He was hesitating whether to leave. He was confident of leaving here, but the risk would be very high.
If the cat were to hunt him, he would still die.
Dong dong dong~!
In the tense atmosphere, an expressionless woman suddenly appeared at the door. She knocked on the door and ignored everyone in the grocery store, looking directly at the black cat.
"Did he tell you to calm down?"
A cold and emotionless voice sounded in the grocery store.
As soon as the black cat saw the person, he immediately stupefied and lay weakly on the counter.
"I know, I won't do it next time." A childish voice whispered.
"Sister Yin'er!" Seeing the visitor, He Yuelian breathed a sigh of relief.
He Yin'er glanced at the black cat and stopped looking. She looked at He Yuelian and said, "Give them tickets to enter the market and charge them normally."
After saying that, he took a deep look at Wang Xiaoming who was being protected in the middle. Without saying anything else, he turned around and walked into the darkness.
Seeing He Yin'er leaving, Black Cat jumped off the counter dejectedly and walked into the backyard.
With the disappearance of the black cat, the hanging hearts of several people in the grocery store were finally relieved.
The situation just now was incredibly dangerous.
He Yuelian looked at the people in the grocery store and then looked at the time. It was 8.59 pm, one minute shy of 9 o'clock.
The time has come.
As the time reached 9 o'clock, Li Jun, A Hong, Lu Zhiwen and Wang Xiaoming turned to look out the door at this moment.
A lantern appeared strangely in front of the grocery store. The lantern was automatically lit. Suddenly, a green light enveloped a section of the street in front of the grocery store.
The same is true for the hotel opposite. The light emitted turns into a faint green at 9 o'clock.
The old street has also changed at this moment.
Lanterns appeared out of thin air, hovering in the sky on both sides of the old street.
A strange black mist floated up from nowhere, shrouding the entire old street.
The surrounding temperature dropped to the lowest point of the night at this moment.
Wang Xiaoming tightened his clothes and looked at this strange scene.
"We have entered the ghost world." Lu Zhiwen observed and came to a conclusion.
"Seven yuan for lanterns." He Yuelian took out four lanterns and placed them on the counter.
There are four white lanterns with a black candle inside. The lanterns are generally ordinary and have nothing special about them.
Several people who had never seen the ghost market tickets looked at these lanterns with hesitation.
Is this the ticket?
It doesn't look like it feels like anything.
Seven dollars?
Cao Yang touched his nose. He didn't even have three yuan.
"Does seven yuan mean ghost money?" Wang Xiaoming walked to the counter and held up the lantern to observe carefully.
The material of the lantern seemed to be very ordinary. When he touched it, he immediately felt something different. This was not a paper lantern, but a leather lantern.
"Human skin?"
Without waiting for He Yuelian's answer, Wang Xiaoming asked a question again.
"Yes." He Yuelian answered succinctly and concisely.
Wang Xiaoming nodded, "If there is no ghost money, can I exchange it for other things?"
"What?" He Yuelian asked.
"Supernatural objects, or ghosts." Wang Xiaoming hesitated for a while and replied.
"Okay." He Yuelian nodded.
The main things traded in the ghost market are ghosts and supernatural items. It is of course possible to exchange these items for ghost money.
Confirmed, Wang Xiaoming immediately looked at Lu Zhiwen, but Lu Zhiwen turned around and looked at Li Leping.
Li Leping was silent for a while and looked at Cao Yang.
"Don't look at me, I don't have any money at all, you know this." Cao Yang waved his hand quickly and said.
Hearing this, Li Leping twitched the corners of his mouth, took out a colorful piece of ghost money from his pocket and placed it on the counter.
He Yuelian glanced at it and put it away.
"Wucao, you can't tell, but you are quite rich." Cao Yang looked Li Leping up and down, "Honestly, how many times have you sneaked into the ghost market during this time?"
I took the seven yuan as I said and didn't feel bad at all.
He couldn't do it.
A ghost can only be sold for a minimum of three yuan. This is still here. In the ghost market, ghosts with low levels of terror are sold in two bundles.
The less frightening a ghost is, the less popular it is in the ghost market.
But a ghost is still a ghost, and you need to take a lot of risks if you want to imprison a ghost.
Catching ghosts with low levels of terror is a complete waste of your life.
Every time the ghost controller uses supernatural powers, the ghost's resurgence will be aggravated. If not controlled, he will die extremely quickly.
Moreover, even if you don't use supernatural powers, the ghost will still revive, but it will be very slow.
"boring."
Li Leping handed four lanterns to Wang Xiaoming and four others respectively.
Then he looked at He Yuelian. He Yuelian didn't speak, turned and walked into the backyard. After a while, she came out carrying two lanterns.
"Thank you." Li Leping thanked him and took a lantern, and Cao Yang also reached out to take it.
This is the lantern that the two of them store here and can take out when needed.
Storage is free and does not cost money.
"You two understand the rules of the ghost market. Take responsibility and tell them. If you violate the rules and you are not strong enough, don't blame anyone for your death."
"The people and ghosts inside don't care who you are."
Listening to He Yuelian's warning, Cao Yang and Li Leping nodded, "I will pay attention."
"You can leave now, I'm going to start business." He Yuelian began to chase people away.
Cao Yang and Li Leping didn't pay attention. Li Jun frowned slightly and looked at the lantern in his hand. She didn't seem to tell them how to use the lantern.
Also, will this lantern affect ordinary people?
"Professor Wang, Major General Li, this lantern will not affect anyone, but will protect us from being attacked by ghosts before entering the ghost market." Li Leping saw Li Jun's worry.
Hearing this explanation, Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave the lantern to Wang Xiaoming with confidence.
"Let's go. The ghost market is huge. It will take you a while to visit."
After saying that, Li Leping walked out of the grocery store carrying a lantern. At this moment, several people carrying lanterns also walked out of the hotel opposite.
The lantern was lit the moment he left the grocery store, and Li Leping was enveloped in the green light.
When several people saw this scene, their eyes narrowed slightly.
When they left the grocery store, the lanterns in their hands also lit up.
"Something weird." A Hong looked at the lantern that was obviously a black candle, but after it was lit, it turned out to be a green candle.
"The workmanship of this lantern is very particular. The skin is made of human skin, but it is of someone who has just become a ghost slave. The candle inside is the corpse oil extracted from a terrifying ghost. It is colorless and odorless, but ordinary people If you eat it, you will become a ghost slave in the blink of an eye, but if the ghost master eats it, you will be able to relieve your ghost's resurgence in a short time."
Cao Yang held a lantern and looked at the dark streets around him. They had just walked out of the grocery store. When they looked back, they could no longer see the grocery store, and there was a black fog all over them.
"This thing is really cheap at seven yuan, not expensive."
Listening to Cao Yang's introduction, Wang Xiaoming felt a little more excited for no reason.
In just one or two sentences, he heard two things of great research value.
"This candle is much more advanced than the ghost candle I studied." Wang Xiaoming looked at the candle burning inside the lantern. The green flame was no different from the ghost candle burning flame.
The ghost candle he developed can prevent the attacks of evil spirits, but it is inedible and has no effect in easing the recovery of evil spirits.
"Do you know how to make it?" Wang Xiaoming asked.
"Professor Wang, you think too highly of me. If I knew how to make it, I wouldn't be unable to get out even seven yuan." Cao Yang said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"However, although I don't know, there is someone who knows."
Cao Yang changed the topic and said mysteriously.
"who?"
If one could master the manufacturing process of this kind of candle, I don't know how much more confidence it would give the ghost controller when dealing with supernatural events.
This can already be a strategic level resource.
Li Leping also became interested at this moment. He didn't know much about the origin of this candle. He only knew what it was used for. As for how it was made or who made it, he didn't know anything. He didn't even know who knew how to make this kind of candle. Not sure either.
But now Cao Yang said that he knew, which surprised him. He came to the ghost market much more time and frequency than Cao Yang, a latecomer.
Moreover, he had met the owner of the ghost market several times and had a rough idea of his identity.
Several people looked at Cao Yang, waiting for him to name the person who knew the candle-making process.
"That's the woman who just came over to make Mr. Cat calm down. You should know her name is He Yin'er." Cao Yang said.
He Yin'er, a very familiar name.
There is no one I don’t know.
He Yin'er, codenamed Soul Recruiter, was the former person in charge of Taiyuan.
A person who he had put into the captain's plan a long time ago.
Unfortunately, she later quit the headquarters and followed Yu Zhile.
"She?" Wang Xiaoming was a little silent.
The same is true for the other people.
The names of He Yin'er and Yu Zhile have been circulated in the headquarters for a long time, and even in the supernatural circle.
The two of them teamed up and killed more than a dozen ghost masters. Although Yu Zhile killed the most, He Yin'er was the one in charge of finishing.
It is said that the thing she summoned from the spirit even had a fight with Ye Zhen, and Ye Zhen did not take advantage of it.
"Can you talk to her?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Cao Yang.
Cao Yang touched his nose and said, "It depends on whether she is willing."
He didn't know He Yin'er well. She was like an iceberg. She was cold to him, no, to everyone. She spoke very little. Only He Yuelian and a few old guys in the ghost market could talk to her more. Say a few words.
Anyone who frequents the ghost market knows that among the people who cannot be messed with in the ghost market, apart from He Yuelian in the grocery store and a few old guys in the ghost market, He Yin'er has the worst temper.
She hates bargaining the most, and also hates others jumping in front of her.
If you offend He Yin'er, you will die very quickly. You will basically not be able to get out of the ghost market. The old guys in the ghost market usually don't do anything, but He Yin'er is different. As long as you make her uncomfortable with a word, you You can probably just go to a coffin shop and buy a coffin. You don’t need to customize it because it’s too late.
"Is she in the ghost market?" Wang Xiaoming asked again.
It was obvious that he was really interested in this candle.
"Yes, always here." Li Leping said at this time, "But it's best not to disturb her. You can buy things, but don't talk about unnecessary things."
Li Leping touched the lantern in his hand, with some fear in his eyes.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Li Leping and hesitated for a while without asking why.
The surrounding darkness was as thick as water. Several people were walking in this old street, which was only a few hundred meters long. They walked for almost half an hour but they still hadn't reached the end.
The light of several lanterns was stitched together, wrapping several people in it.
Ta~ta da~!
After walking for an unknown amount of time, several people suddenly heard footsteps nearby.
Li Jun's expression suddenly became serious.
"It's okay, it's just a ghost heading to the ghost market. If we don't mess with it, it will leave us alone." Cao Yang said casually.
Li Leping looked calm.
The two of them were very calm, but the few people who came here for the first time were not so calm.
Wang Xiaoming is also very calm. It's funny to say that he, an ordinary person, is much calmer than Li Jun and the others.
Several people looked at the direction where the footsteps came from.
In the thick darkness, a woman wearing a Chinese tunic suit walked past them.
Several people looked at this woman with serious eyes.
Women basically have no skin, and they can easily see the exposed bones.
That Chinese tunic suit is not an ordinary Chinese tunic suit, but a shroud, and the colorful longevity characters are very conspicuous.
The woman's face could no longer be seen clearly. They could only confirm that it was a woman. As for her appearance, they were unclear. After all, there was a large piece of yellow paper pasted on the woman's face.
"The terrifying ghost." Lu Zhiwen said, his eyes full of fear.
"Just get used to it. This kind of ghost is very common in the ghost market. There is a reason why it is not sold as goods by other ghosts and why it is here."
Cao Yang said it very easily, but just this sentence made a few people confused.
Looking at the woman who ignored them and disappeared into the darkness, Li Jun looked at Cao Yang in surprise, "Do the ghosts here treat other ghosts as goods?"
"Of course, they also need ghost money to buy things."
"The grocery store we stayed at before sold tickets and also collected bad guys."
"Every night there are sporadic ghosts going there with ghosts to sell."
Cao Yang looked around. It was still dark. Occasionally, there would be strange noises in the darkness, but they would disappear soon.
"Ghosts will abide by the rules of the ghost market uncontrollably when they enter here. Compared with ghost controllers, they have many restrictions. When they enter here, it is as if their own killing rules have been modified. Everything is in accordance with the rules of the ghost market itself. Rules action.”
"So, here comes a very interesting thing. In the ghost market, even if we trigger the ghost's killing pattern, we will not be attacked. As long as we don't attack the ghost, the ghost will not look at you twice."
"You can even stand in front of it and take a closer look."
A Hong was a little puzzled when she heard what Cao Yang said, "How is this done?"
"You ask me, who am I going to ask?" Cao Yang looked at A Hong dumbfounded.
"arrive."
Just when Ah Hong was about to continue asking, Li Leping suddenly spoke.
Only then did a few people react and turned to look ahead. Suddenly, the pupils of those who had never been to the ghost market shrank.
