Chapter 100: The evil ghost that lurks in Yoshiwara Flower Street

Yoshiwara, the island's most famous flower willow street, has been an official red-light district since the 17th century, and it was not until the 20th century that the prostitution prohibition law was passed.

And in the Taisho era, in this era when the past and the future intersect, Yoshiwara Flower Street was the most prosperous time, and there were several streets and alleys in the entire flower street, and there were countless small streets and alleys, and all the brothels added up to nearly a hundred.

Of course, there is also a large flow of people here, not only prostitutes and servants belonging to various brothels, but also a large number of prostitutes who come and go, making the entire Yoshiwara Flower Street show that it is not inferior to the prosperity of the big city.

Most of the men here wear gorgeous dresses to avoid losing face, the women wear revealing clothes to compete for customers, and the street buildings are filled with the smell of rouge and gouache, making it a place where all religions and nine streams meet.

There is only one main entrance to Yoshiwara Flower Street, which faces northwest, and is made of steel, giving the impression that it is severely closed.

Carrying a suitcase and a piano case, Ryuxia walked into the flower street through the main entrance of this building.

The smell of rouge, laughter, solicitation, and flattery suddenly came like a drizzle, making people feel the prosperity and vulgarity of this place in an instant.

Although Ryuxia was short in stature and looked a little immature in appearance, no one around him cast a strange look at him.

There are many children in the flower street, most of them are servants who clean the houses and serve the prostitutes in the brothels, and their status is low, and it is easy to be beaten and scolded by disgruntled prostitutes and customers, most of whom are very young girls, and a few are boys.

Ryusha walks through it without being too conspicuous.

Only a small number of passers-by cast strange glances at him because of the ghost slayer uniform on his body, especially the big word 'annihilation' on the back of the uniform, which was very eye-catching.

But these people are more inclined to make out with the beauties in the brothel than to care about the strange outfit of a passing child, and will not take the initiative to communicate with him.

"The ghost's breath is very hazy."

Lu Xia walked on the road of Flower Street, silently feeling the strange atmosphere in the air.

Ordinary ghosts do not restrain their own aura, which allows many ghost swordsmen to quickly find each other and kill them, but if it is a relatively powerful ghost, it already has the ability to hide its own aura.

Although it can't completely hide the alien aura of a ghost, even the members of the ghost killing team who are very sensitive to the aura of ghosts have difficulty finding it, and can only dimly feel that something is wrong, and they can't tell the direction and distance from which the breath comes from.

This feeling is like a peerless beauty standing in front of her, but the whole body is covered with tulle, which makes people itch and feel unbearable, but they still can't get a glimpse of her true face.

"In other words, there is a high probability that there is a powerful evil ghost here, maybe it is a ghost ranked in the Twelve Ghost Moons."

Ryuxia raised her brows slightly, looking at the endless tide of pedestrians around her, "But in this way, if you want to find the other party, it will inevitably take more effort." ”

"According to the intelligence of the Ghost Slayer Team, the people who have repeatedly disappeared in the flower street are the Oiran level beauties of various brothels, so I may be able to start from this aspect."

Ryusha glanced at the sky.

It's still daytime, the sun is high in the sky, even if it's the twelve ghost moons, it is impossible to come out now, so he should go and investigate the information first.

It's just that there are dozens of brothels on this flower street, and if you really want to find them one by one, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.

Ryusha is a professional killer who is very skilled in investigative intelligence, and in less than a moment, his investigation process is on the right track.

…………

Night came quickly.

Lanterns of various colors hung under the eaves, street lamps flashed in the streets, and the sound of shamisen playing came from many brothels, and many prostitutes who had been sleeping during the day took to the streets, and even strange sounds came from many brothels, making the whole flower street burst out with vitality far beyond that of daytime.

Yoshiwara Flower Street is the island's first red-light district, and it is also known as the 'street that never sleeps', and it can only be truly vitalized at night.

Ryusha sat on the roof of a certain building, her eyes open to the future, and at the same time, she observed various movements within a radius of kilometers with her powerful vision.

"This flower street is really suitable for evil spirits to hide, there are too many men and women who only appear at night, and it is easy to confuse the public."

Ryuxia pondered silently, "According to the information collected during the day, most of the Oiran and prostitutes who disappeared in the past are considered to have 'escaped', and the prostitutes who 'escaped' are all over the Flower Street area, and it is impossible to delineate the stronghold of evil spirits from a geographical scope. ”

The so-called 'escape' of course refers to the humble life of some prostitutes who are unbearable to show off in brothels every day, force their faces to laugh, and just beg their customers to laugh, so they decide to escape from the flower street.

These women who became prostitutes were also sold here voluntarily or forcibly because their families were in debt, or because their family members were seriously ill, and each of them was burdened with huge debts.

Not every one of them is willing to live this kind of life of selling their bodies for a smile, and naturally there are prostitutes who 'escape' from here every month of the year.

However, because the main gate here is only the one in the northwest, there are actually very few people who can really escape from here, most of the prostitutes can only work here for a lifetime, and only a few who are lucky enough to meet a lover to redeem themselves for them and then leave here.

And the intelligence that Ryuxia collected during the day showed that these days, the prostitutes who were considered to be 'fleeing' were almost all over the entire flower street, not surrounding any area, and did not have any regional characteristics.

This shows that the ghosts hidden here either have strong mobility or strong concealment ability, and can run back and forth in various streets and alleys.

No matter which ability he has, it's not a good thing for Ryuxia.

"If you can't demarcate the area, then you can only make a little big move and let the other party take the initiative to find me."

As for how to let the other party take the initiative to find him, it may be surprisingly simple for Ryuxia.

"Bang!"

After a while, a flare exploded in the sky above Flower Street, and the light like day quickly spread out, enveloping an area of several hundred meters.

The appearance of the flares caused a commotion among the crowd below, causing everyone on the street to look at each other for unknown reasons.

Ryusha waited on the roof for a while, and soon, a dark figure crept behind him.
