Ghost market was originally the name of a type of market in Beijing. It mainly sells estimated clothes, and other goods are mixed, including improper sources, rare items, and fakes, so people call this kind of market that is usually open at night "ghost market".

However, what Zhou Lingyu said at this time is obviously not this ghost market.

In Yang Haosong's puzzled expression, Zhou Lingyu took out two black masks from the small bag and handed one of them to Yang Haosong.

"What are you doing?" Yang Haosong looked puzzled.

"Bring it, bring a hat, in this kind of place, it's better not to show your face!" Zhou Lingyu said, putting on a mask and a hat.

Yang Haosong didn't know what to do, but he still did it obediently. Seeing that he had brought it well, he covered his face. Zhou Lingyu stepped forward and knocked the knocker three times and two lightly.

After a few moments, the door slowly opened. Inside the door was a middle-aged man with a sallow face, wearing a cyan horse coat. The narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, glanced at the two of them, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

"Go to the market!" Zhou Lingyu said in a flat tone.

The middle-aged man nodded: "Which way?"

Zhou Lingyu took out a document from her handbag, the cover of which was a big national emblem, and opened it for the middle-aged man to see.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly: "Official, just come here?"

"By the way, find someone and ask something!" Zhou Lingyu's tone remained unchanged, and she put away her documents: "Don't cause trouble!"

"Understood!" The middle-aged man nodded, slowly got out of the way, and made a gesture of please: "Two please!"

Yang Haosong was confused and followed Zhou Lingyu into the small courtyard together. The middle-aged man closed the door, took two lanterns from a shelf in the doorway, and handed them to the two. The lantern is yellow papier-mâché with the word 'forbidden' in black on it. There were also a number of lanterns on the shelf, but some were red and some were white, and the handwriting on them was also different.

"Two officials, the lantern must not be left in your hand!" the sallow middle-aged man said in a faint tone: "Please!" said and pointed to a room in the courtyard. Although the door of the room was open, it was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Zhou Lingyu nodded and did not speak. Holding a lantern in one hand and holding Yang Haosong's cuffs in the other, he walked towards the house. Yang Haosong looked at the lantern in his hand and thought it was very interesting. The candle inside the lantern was not lit before I got it, but as soon as I got it, it was wonderfully lit. The candle was not big, but the fire was very bright, and Yang Haosong was very worried, or it would be burned out in a while.

Yang Haosong was observing the lantern and didn't notice that Zhou Lingyu had dragged him into the black room. He was just about to take a step, when Zhou Lingyu suddenly added: "Be careful, don't touch the threshold!"

Yang Haosong sighed, careful not to touch the threshold, and stepped in. Immediately after, I felt a chill hit me, and my whole body couldn't help but shiver. subconsciously raised his head, and then the whole person was stunned.

At this time, the two were standing on an old street. The street is narrow, and there are rows of cramped-looking storefronts on the left and right. There is a lantern hanging at the door of each storefront, and the words on the lantern appear to be the name of the store. There were plaques on the doors of the shops, but they were all empty and there was no writing. Most of the doors were open, but there was no room for the inside, only a faint orange light. Occasionally, there are a few with the door closed and the lights dark, and the door is hung with a 'closed' sign.

There were quite a few people on the streets, mostly dressed in thick, hat-wearing clothes. Some wore masks, some wore masks, and carried all kinds of lanterns in their hands, most of them were yellow and white, and I never saw the red lanterns on the shelves before, the words on the lanterns were different, but one thing was the same, no one showed their faces in the whole street.

The sky was a deep blue, as if the night had fallen all at once. There are no stars or moon in the sky, and the entire street is lit only by lanterns in front of the shops and in the hands of pedestrians.

"Zhou ......" Yang Haosong was about to ask what was going on, but Zhou Lingyu suddenly turned around and stared at him fiercely. Yang Haosong's words immediately swallowed into his stomach. He found that at the moment when he wanted to call Zhou Lingyu's name, several people with white lanterns in their hands around looked over, and several people with yellow lanterns seemed to deliberately distance themselves from them.

Zhou Lingyu took out her mobile phone, shook it in front of Yang Haosong, and then typed in a text. Handed it to Yang Haosong, Yang Haosong glanced at it: "Don't talk as much as possible here, unless you enter the store, and there is no one else in the store except the owner." Besides, don't call each other by their names here! From now on, I will call you Lao Yang, and you will call me Sister Yu'er!"

Yang Haosong really wanted to ask, are you as old as me, just let me call you sister? But seeing Zhou Lingyu's serious expression, she still nodded, and also took out her mobile phone and replied: "Okay, Sister Yu'er!" glanced at it by the way, and sure enough, there was no signal here~

Zhou Lingyu nodded and made a gesture to keep up. The two walked slowly towards the depths of the street.

Yang Haosong followed behind Zhou Lingyu and couldn't help but look back. He wondered why he had suddenly come to this street, and shouldn't he have just entered a room? But behind him, the same narrow street, there was no door or any other entrance.

Zhou Lingyu didn't seem to be very interested in the shops on both sides of the road, and most of them just glanced at it. It was not until there was a shop with no writing on the lantern at the door, but a copper coin painted on it, that it stopped. Raised his finger and pointed, the meaning was obvious, to go in.

Yang Haosong nodded and followed Zhou Lingyu into the store.

From the outside, the store is cramped, it seems to be five or six square meters at most. But as soon as he stepped in, Yang Haosong only felt that his eyes were slight, and he stood in a hall with thousands of square meters!

As soon as he came in, Yang Haosong knew what kind of place this was.

Bank!

Familiar counter, familiar calling machine. Aside from the fact that the lobby was slightly dim, it was almost indistinguishable from the banks outside.

No! There is still a difference!

There are only a handful of people in this "bank", and the vast majority of others are ...... Demons!

Yang Haosong saw a demon with three points like a person and seven points like an animal, and his hands and feet were lined up. I also saw several ghosts with only the upper body and the lower body like smoke waiting.

Inside the counter, it's not all people. There are people who do or look like people, but most of them are ghosts of all kinds. At this time, he was wearing a uniform and looked extremely strange.

"It's okay to talk here, but don't be too loud. Also, don't take off your mask, and don't put down your lantern!" Zhou Lingyu took a number from the number machine at the door, and then said in a low voice.

"What kind of place is this?" Yang Haosong also tried his best to lower his voice and asked.

"The Demon Bank, the bank of the guild. Do you know about the guild?"

"I know a little bit, it seems to be a demon spirit organization, and the relationship with the organization is not bad!" Yang Haosong replied, he only knew so much about the Demon Spirit Hall.

"Yes! That's it!" Zhou Lingyu nodded: "The guild hall is an organization that connects the demon world and the human world, it is not very ancient, but it is very powerful! As for this demon bank, it is a place to exchange human currency and the common currency of the spirits. Although most of the shops in the ghost market actually accept the currency of the human world, the place we are going to next is an exception. ”

Yang Haosong didn't seem to understand it, but there was one thing he understood. Zhou Lingyu seems to want to buy something, but that place doesn't accept human currency, so she wants to come to this demon bank to exchange currency.

The efficiency of the Demon Spirit Bank seemed to be very good, and soon Zhou Lingyu's number was called.

Sit down at the counter, and inside the counter is a teller who looks like a person.

Glancing at the lantern in Zhou Lingyu's hand, a shallow smile appeared on the counter's face: "This official, what business do you have." ”

"Exchange spiritual currency!" Zhou Lingyu said briefly. Then I took out a bank card, which is especially common to UnionPay and VISA. Yang Haosong was dumbfounded for a while, what's the matter, can you still use a bank card here?

In fact, it can be used.

The teller smiled and took the card: "How much do you want to exchange?"

"100,000 national coins!" Zhou Lingyu's words didn't make Yang Haosong jump in fright, although she knew that this chick was definitely not bad for money, but one mouth was 100,000, which still made Yang Haosong a poor dick stunned.

But what shocked Yang Haosong even more was that the teller didn't swipe any machines, nor did he ask Zhou Lingyu to enter the password - in fact, there was no place to enter the password on the side. Just wiped his hand on the card, and returned it to Zhou Lingyu: "This official, your spirit coins are in place, and you can spend them!"

What's the matter? The money was swept away? And you didn't give anything?

Yang Haosong felt that the whole person was cloudy, but Zhou Lingyu actually took the card like that. As she took the card, the phone in her pocket rang a chime. Judging from the sound of the message, it should not be the mobile phone sent by the department.

Zhou Lingyu took out her private mobile phone and glanced at it, and Yang Haosong, who was standing next to her, also glanced at it, and her eyes jumped. It was a transfer message, indicating that Zhou Lingyu's account had been transferred 100,000 soft sister coins.

Anyway, shouldn't there be no signal here? Yang Haosong took out his mobile phone strangely and glanced at it. Sure enough, I found that the signal that had just been directly zeroed on the street was full again here. It seems that this is a special place in the ghost market.

So, with just a touch, can the money really be transferred? Yang Haosong suddenly felt that his wallet had become very insecure. But then he was relieved. What are you kidding, I don't have a few big kids in my pocket~

Zhou Lingyu got up and walked out of the bank with Yang Haosong, and the two returned to the narrow street before. Point ahead and keep walking. From beginning to end, Zhou Lingyu has always held the lantern in one hand. Whether you take something or put it back, you only need one hand!

Yang Haosong was actually very curious about what the other stores were doing, but Zhou Lingyu obviously had no intention of going in, and he didn't dare to go in alone, so he had to press his curiosity and follow Zhou Lingyu all the way forward.

After walking for about a few minutes, the street seemed to come to an end. Further ahead, a thick black fog obscures all vision.

At the end of the street, there is the last shop.

"It's finally here, I thought I was going in the wrong direction!" Zhou Lingyu muttered in a low voice. Yang Haosong immediately knew that the destination had arrived, and when he looked up, there were two sunspots written on the lantern at the entrance of this shop-ferry.
