As expected, the torrential rain continued throughout the night before slowly stopping.

The air was filled with the smell of salty, damp.

Yong Bowen slowly opened his eyes, only to see the golden warm sunlight shining through the cracks in the blocked doors and windows, drawing bright traces one after another on the floor of the gloomy room.

The bonfire in the room has been extinguished, and a wisp of remnants of green smoke has floated up, dancing lightly in the track of the sun, with a misty taste.

Isuzu Kabei hugged Iwanri Ma on his left and Malika on his right, closed his eyes and sat by the fire, sleeping soundly.

The female drunk in the corner let out a low humming sound, and although she was not awake from the hangover, the sequelae of alcoholism were already felt in her body.

There was a faint noise of human voices outside the room, but it set off the room more and more peaceful and serene.

Since I was taken captive to Japan until I smuggled out, I haven't had such a peaceful night's rest for a long time.

Yong Bowen let out a long breath, only to feel that he was full of energy, full of mana, and full of ease, but the fracture was not so painful, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and stood up. As soon as he stood up, Isuzu Jiabing, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and looked over. Yong Bowen waved his hand at him, walked to the sealed door, and looked out through the crack in the door.

The street outside the door is full of sewage and mud, but there are already sparse stalls on both sides of the street, some selling fruits, some selling tobacco and alcohol, some shaving their heads and shaved faces, some selling cakes and breakfasts, and those pedestrians who are dressed simply and mostly shirtless are lazily walking on the street, giving people a very leisurely and relaxed feeling.

A typical rural town, without the heavy pressures of the big city and the suffocating madness of the festival, there is only the laziness and freehand that may have lasted for hundreds of years.

The crazy and bloody scene of last night was like a story about another distant world.

Yong Bowen didn't rush to open the door panel, his top priority now was to figure out where he was down, and he originally wanted to ask the locals about it, but now he didn't need it, because he already had dozens of local ghosts on hand, and he could ask clearly. He made a gesture to Isuzu Kabei to go to the back room, and regardless of whether the other party could read it or not, he took his notebook and turned around and walked into the hallway. As soon as he stepped into the corridor last night, he felt that the yin qi was strong, and he didn't go deeper, and after subduing the ghosts, he seized the time to meditate and breathe and restore his spiritual mana, so he never saw the specific appearance of the inner room.

The short corridor is only more than ten meters away, there are no doors on both sides, but there are two windows each, each window has words written on it, but Yong Bowen can't understand it, but through the window to see the furnishings inside, it is probably the place where the registered price is collected and the medicine is collected. Walking through the short corridor, at the end of the face is the back window, and the long corridor extends to both sides, connecting the entire row of houses. There were seven or eight on the left and right sides, the wooden door panels were rotten and damaged, the mottled bullet holes on them were still visible, the walls were covered with blood, and several corpses with only white bones were lying on the ground. Yong Bowen walked to the left at will, and the rooms on this side were full of hospital beds, and most of the beds were lying with white bones, judging from the bullet holes in the bones, they were all directly killed when they were lying down. At the end of the day, there were many corpses lying on the ground in the eight wards, in addition to the patients on the beds, and I don't know whether they were patients, family members, nurses, or doctors. It looks like there must have been a massacre here, and some kind of rush in and kill everyone in the hospital, not even the doctors and nurses.

Yong Bowen went back to the room where the price was registered and rummaged through, and found some white paper and registration books from it, as well as a few ballpoint pens, the paper was old and damp, and the ballpoint pens were full of dust, but they could still be used. He found a tattered towel again, went to the corridor and pushed open the window, wet the eaves with rain, and when he came back, he carefully moved the white bones lying on the chair to the side, wiped the tables and chairs, and then lay on the table to draw talismans, not with a special talisman pen cinnabar, the power of the talisman is greatly reduced, but it is better than nothing, just in case, Yongda Tianshi pierced the index finger, and drew a few blood talismans for backup, this blood contains his mana yang energy, but the power is far better than the ordinary talisman paper, but there is so much blood on the human body, and it is a very harmful thing to draw a talisman with bloodIt is impossible to draw hundreds of pictures to be around, and it can only be used for emergencies.

After drawing dozens of symbols, Yong Bowen stopped writing and began to draft employee employment contracts. This employment contract has a standard format in the Mage Association, where to use what words, which side should use what spells, there are templates, this thing has to be written by the employer himself to have the effect of mana, Yong Bowen wrote hundreds of pieces at a time, it can be said that he is familiar with the heart, at this time it is also familiar with the road, it is not a lot of effort, write enough seventy-four * contracts, and carefully check it, after confirming that there are no mistakes and omissions, take out their own badges, and stamp them one by one at the employer's payment office. The badges of this senior member are all customized by the Mage Association, with the name of the member, which can be used as a private seal, and after being sent to the member, the member himself casts a spell to activate the anti-counterfeiting circle above, and from then on, the badge will be stamped with the member's unique mana fluctuations, and others cannot counterfeit it. If the membership is upgraded in the future, the Association of Mages will take back the old badge and destroy it in front of the notary and the parties at the same time as the new badge is issued.

After completing the contract, Yong Bowen turned on the computer and decompressed the seventy-four demons and released them again.

As soon as these evil ghosts entered the room, the first feeling was extremely refreshing and comfortable, the feeling of the restraint and oppression of the magic circle in the past was swept away, the air outside the house was fresh and attractive, and they were ready to move for a while, and they were not very peaceful, and there was a demon standing near the door to see that the corridor window was half open, without any mana to stop it, and there was no dangerous thunder outside the window last night, and he couldn't help but think wildly, and he threw himself out of the window, and he was going to slip away. He is a demon who has already formed, unlike ordinary ghosts who are afraid of the sun, and it is no problem to walk in the sunlight.

But as soon as the evil ghost rushed to the window, and before he could rush out, he heard a loud thunderclap, and the blue and white electric light came first, and struck it squarely, and immediately it was scorched and blackened, and fell to the ground in smoke.

Yong Bowen gently blew off the thunder rune paper ash on his palm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll let you go out after signing the contract!" "Last night, he just persuaded and educated, and he didn't show any skills, so the ghosts weren't very afraid of him, but now when he saw this mage raising his hand and thundering, he was unstoppable, and he was awe-inspiring in his heart.

Yong Bowen sent the contract to the ghosts one by one, explained the terms in detail on it, and finally said: "If you think there is a problem with the terms inside, it's okay if you don't want to sign a contract with me, but I can't just let you go, I can only let the spell accept you, and when you return to China, hand it over to the association and let them dispose of it." The doctor still asked on behalf of the crowd: "What will that association do with us?" Yong Bowen said: "Now pay attention to ghost power, they will not harm you, but because you are now evil ghosts, you have the ability to harm people, so it is impossible to let you go, probably will be locked up somewhere, and when the ghost gate is closed on July 14 of the next year, it will be sent to the underworld together with other ghosts caught before." "The ghosts understood as soon as they heard it, oh, if you sign a contract, you will have benefits and treatment, then you will be considered an employee, if you don't sign a contract, then you will be locked up as a prisoner! Although all the evil ghosts have smart and stupid heads, high and low education, big and small skills, but none of them are stupid, good ghosts don't eat the immediate losses, sign it, so they signed and drew according to the requirements and handed them back to Yong Bowen.

Last night, the nurse ghost with a big hole in her chest was the last to hand over the contract, and asked timidly: "Master, you said you would help me with plastic surgery!" He also looked down at the bloody hole in his chest. Yong Bowen said with a smile: "After signing the contract, you are my subordinate employee, you can call me boss in the future, and when you return to China, you will be introduced to other colleagues." I'll cast a spell for you right now. ”

As soon as the ghosts saw that the boss was going to cast a spell, they all hurriedly spontaneously stepped aside and watched with wide eyes. Everyone has this love for beauty, they are all dying, all of them are miserable, if they can become better-looking, they are naturally willing.

Yong Bowen took out a ballpoint pen and drew a talisman, pasted it on the forehead of the nurse female ghost, and pointed a little to the talisman with two fingers, and shouted: "The sad husband is suffering from this body, and his troubles are hidden in the center." The remnants of the body come out of the real body, and often think about making up for it. A charm gathers the sky and yang, and replenishes the skin and body. The two symbols converge on the yin of the earth and create broken bones. The three symbols set popularity, run and in a qiē. Haste as the law forgives! ”

As soon as the incantation was recited, I saw that the female ghost nurse's loose hair gradually became neat, and the large hole in her broken chest healed quickly as far as the naked eye could see, and finally even her clothes became intact. In just a minute, a female ghost with a miserable image becomes a pure and beautiful female ghost like a textbook example.

The nurse ghost happily touched her body, thanked Yong Bowen again and again, and finally leaned into Yong Bowen's ear and whispered: "Boss, your spell is so magical, can you help me fix it again?" Yong Bowen couldn't figure it out for a while, and carefully looked at the female ghost from top to bottom, and confirmed that there was no place for defects, so he had to ask: "Isn't everything repaired?" What's wrong? The nurse ghost said embarrassedly: "When I was alive before, I always felt that my breasts were too small, can you help me make my breasts bigger, not too big, 38D is fine!" "This nurse lady came to see Yongda Tianshi as a beautician, and it was a free plastic surgery, which required breast augmentation! I don't know if I will have to shave my nose again! Yong Bowen opened his mouth and stammered, and after a while, he said: "This, but I won't, when I go back, I will help you ask others if they have this spell." The nurse ghost was overjoyed, and thanked Yong Bowen again and again, and then retreated. As soon as the rest of the ghosts saw that this spell was indeed effective, they all rushed up to ask for plastic surgery, Yong Bowen helped them to return their bodies to their normal state before death, and all the ghosts were happy, and they all felt that this boss was really good, and they had not started to work yet, so they started to pay benefits first.

Yong Bowen finished all the ghosts, signaled them to be quiet, and said: "You are all my employees now, what you can do and what you can't do are written in the contract, you have all seen it, you must strictly abide by it, and you must not violate it, especially hurting people's lives, it is absolutely not allowed, if you commit it, the spell that binds you will attack immediately, this is not a joke." All the ghosts nodded their heads in interest and said that they would definitely comply. Yong Bowen said again: "I know that you have been trapped here for a long time, and I hope to go out for a walk, but not yet, I just arrived in this place, and I am not very familiar with this place, I don't know if there is a mage association, it is estimated that most of them are not." So in case some of the idle mages of the Non-Legal Master Association come across you, they may not recognize my mark and attack you. So for your safety, you can't leave me and walk around until I find out what's going on. Okay, if any of you are familiar with the situation here, let me know about it. I want to know what this place is, where it is, how I can get back to China, and I want to be more specific. ”

You look at me, I look at you, and finally I set my eyes on the doctor ghost.

The doctor ghost floated out and said, "I'll tell you." "After this doctor has undergone plastic surgery, he has regained his original appearance before his death, he is in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he looks polite and graceful, which is quite handsome.

Yong Bowen saw that this doctor ghost was faintly the core of all evil ghosts, and his demeanor was elegant and polite, so he said, "You introduce yourself first." ”

The doctor ghost sighed and said, "My name is Yi Chengming, I am Malaysian-Chinese, and I opened this hospital." I was born on the island, left home at the age of 14 to go to school in Singapore, and lived here until I returned to the island at the age of 28 and opened the island's first hospital, where I practiced medicine for nearly 10 years until my death eight years ago. ”

The island is called Chisai Island, and from the map, it is supposed to belong to the Malay West, and most of the island's residents are Malay, but in fact, because it is located at the intersection of the three forces of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, it has become a three-way zone. In the beginning, there was only one small village on the island full of fishermen. Yi Chengming was born here, and since he was a child, he saw that the residents of the island were suffering from illness due to lack of medical treatment, so he decided to learn medical skills and return to the island to open a hospital in the future to treat diseases and save people. But when Yi Chengming returned from school, he was surprised to find that his hometown fishing village had developed into a small town, and the number of outsiders had reached more than 8 percent. The island's proximity to the Strait of Malacca (Sysa) has not brought it lucrative profits, but it has led to disaster. Because the coast has a shallow draft, there is no deep-water port, and the geographical location is somewhat skewed, it cannot develop into a large port, but it is favored by those underworld groups that smuggle and sell drugs, and I don't know which organization first came here to set up a stronghold in which year, and in the past ten years, dozens of large and small gangster organizations have landed on the island and established their own offices. This is simply the United Nations of international gangsters, from the mafia to the Yamaguchi-gumi, from Hung Heung-tang to the Bamboo Union Gang, from the Malays to the Indonesian Party, there are international terrorist organizations, there are nationalist independent organizations, there are human snake groups, there are drug trafficking armies, there are smuggling companies, as long as there is no criminal organization imaginable. With these criminal organizations came poison mouths, prostitutes, arms, endless killings, and never-ending firefights, and a small fishing village that was originally like a paradise became a criminal paradise. The only thing that hasn't changed is that there are still no hospitals on the island.

Yi Chengming, who returned from his studies, finally stayed and opened the hospital according to his original wish. Although most of the people on the island are extremely vicious, there are also his fellow villagers, those who used to be honest fishermen. After the opening of the hospital, the business was unexpectedly booming, those gang members who were injured for various reasons had nowhere to be treated, and could only rely on their own people to do some simple rescue, now with the hospital, they can come to treat the wounded and treat the disease in a bright light, but it has reduced a lot of unnecessary casualties, and there will be people in each gang who will be injured, and there will be people who will come to treat the injuries, and over time, an unwritten rule will be formed, no matter how much they are grudges, they must be put down when they enter the hospital, and after they are cured, it is no problem to fight again after being discharged, but they must not be beaten in the hospital. This unwritten rule made the hospital the last safe and quiet place in the town, running smoothly for ten years. However, since the rules are created, there will always be times when they are broken. That year, a Russian gang named "Katyusha" entered the country and fought with several gangsters one after another, which was a normal thing, and every new gang always had to go through a series of battles to establish their own existence on the island. The Russian gangsters were more tough than anyone could have imagined. They were originally Soviet soldiers, because after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's economy deteriorated, and they had to rely on smuggling and drug trafficking to raise military funds. This gang of gangsters who have lost their original military status still have strict discipline and strict hierarchy in the army, and their long-term and systematic training has made them far more fierce than ordinary gang members. Some of them ended up in hospitals, hoping to escape death in this so-called place of peace. However, the Russian gangsters did not stop outside the hospital, perhaps because they had stronger military doctors, so they didn't pay much attention to this life-saving place, and rushed in directly, killing all those gang members, piggybacking on the doctors, nurses and other patients inside. Since then, the hospital has been abandoned, and even the murderous gangsters are reluctant to enter this gloomy place. This place is indeed full of yin qi, because the ghosts are trapped here, the yin qi is stagnant, and people with a slightly weaker physique will be invaded by yin qi as long as they stay for a while, and they will have to get seriously ill.

After listening to Yi Chengming's narration, Yong Bowen's feeling of unfavorable years became stronger and stronger. Look, I finally escaped from Japan, and I wanted to go back to China, but I encountered a tsunami caused by an earthquake under the sea on the road, and I struggled to escape ashore, and I actually fell into such a lawless place.

"Then how can I get out of here?" Yong Bowen sighed for a while, and then then asked this crucial question. It doesn't matter what place it is, anyway, he is just passing by to irrigate, as long as he can leave in time, let alone the gangster United Nations here, even if it is the Demon United Nations, it has nothing to do with his Yongda Heavenly Master.

Yi Chengming said: "Those gangsters have their own transport boats, and if you want to leave here, you can only take their boats. Ordinary ships don't come to this place anymore. By the way, there are fishing boats on the island, but no one really cares about fishing anymore, they all serve the gangsters, help transport things, and make more money in one trip than ten times in fishing. It costs a lot of money to get them to get you out of the island. There are also smuggling organizations that can take you with you, but of course they will cost money. ”

Yongda Tianshi has never seen money since he hit the Japanese pocket, and at this time, the shy ones in the pocket are embarrassed to greet the thief to patronize, and when he hears that he wants to leave, he has to spend money, and he spends a lot, and his eyes are a little long, but after thinking about it, Isuzu Kabei is ready to escape, maybe he can have some money on him, and he can't ask about other situations at the moment, so he quickly stood up and went out, planning to ask Isuzu Kabei how much money he has on him, and the ghosts don't know why, but I thought that the boss said that for the sake of safety, I have to follow him for the time being, couldn't move freely, so he didn't dare to disobey, so he snorted behind Yong Bowen's buttocks, and ran to the front hall.

As soon as he took two steps, Yong Bowen suddenly felt that there was a mana fluctuation in the front hall, obviously someone was using the law, and then he heard the angry shouts of Isuzu Jiabing and the exclamation of Ma Iwasato at the same time, and a sharp voice laughed loudly: "I was still thinking about what powerful characters dared to destroy the magic circle of this heavenly master, but I didn't expect that it was a few of you guys who didn't even know a little about spells." Hmph, since it has fallen into the hands of this Heavenly Master, then the Heavenly Master will laugh unceremoniously! ”

When Yong Bowen heard that the guy who set up such a vicious magic circle really came to the door, and wanted to be unfavorable to Isuzu Kabei and the others, he couldn't help but be furious, and rushed into the front hall with an arrow, shouting: "Stop! And then dumbfounded!

Isuzu Kabei, Iwasato Mayo, and Malika were all shrouded in a cloud of black light, hanging in midair. Isuzu Kabei and Ma Iwasato struggled desperately, but they seemed to be trapped in a spider's web and couldn't get rid of it. The black light stretched out a thin line that led to the ground in the center of the room, and the end of the thin line was held in the claw of a mouse!

Look at this rat with a fat head and big ears, smooth fur, like a kitten, standing in the middle of the house, standing on two feet, and actually wearing a tuxedo on his body!

It's actually a rat spirit who claims to be a heavenly master!

Yong Bowen was amazed, this was the first time in his life that he had seen a living monster!

The rat monster was startled by Yong Bowen's shout, turned his head to take a look, frightened his mother screamed, threw the black light thin line, and drilled into the ground, the ground was originally very flat, but at this moment there is an extra hole, I think it was the hole that the rat master hit when he came in, and now he wants to return to the same way.

How could Yong Bowen let it escape, recited a mantra, stretched out his fingers to be a little weak, and the rat heavenly master rose into the air.

The rat heavenly master didn't know the changes around his body, he held his head and drilled down for a while, only to realize that something was wrong, looked up, couldn't help but tremble with fright, and screamed: "Master Mage, the small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and it collided with your old man, you have a lot of adults, for the sake of the small one, the old mother has a wife and children, let go of the small one." "This rat spirit can't do anything, but his eyesight does, as soon as he sees the surging mana on Yongda Heavenly Master's body, which is unfathomable, he knows that he is not an opponent, so he simply gives up the confrontation, and only hopes that his good attitude can be exchanged for a light hairfall.

But what it said just now, not only Yong Bowen heard it, but also the group of evil ghosts. As soon as they heard that the magic circle set up by this rat trapped them here and could not be freed, the crowd was furious for a while, and they rushed forward with a shout to kill this rat cub, wanting to tear this rat master alive. The Rat Heavenly Master screamed miserably, and there was nothing he could do but close his eyes and wait for death.

Yong Bowen frowned slightly, and shouted: "Give me back!" But that group of evil ghosts was excited, but they didn't even want to listen to his boss's words, Yong Bowen pinched a thunder method and hit it, and it exploded out of thin air, blowing up the group of evil ghosts on their backs.

"You're all back, can't you remember the contents of the contract?" Yong Bowen said angrily, "I just signed the contract, so it's not the same thing, right?" Yi Chengming said sadly and angrily: "Boss, this guy is the culprit who caused us to be trapped here!" Yong Bowen shook his head and said, "If he is really the mage who casts spells, I will not let go of this vicious person." It's not, though! When the Rat Heavenly Master heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "The Heavenly Master's eyes are like torches, and the magic circle here is not set up by a small one!" Yi Chengming asked suspiciously: "Boss, how do you know?" Yong Bowen said: "Its mana is too low, even the current level is not enough to set up such a magic circle, let alone eight years ago?" In this regard, Yong Bowen is an undoubted expert, hearing him say this, although the ghosts are still a little skeptical, they can only accept it, temporarily suppress their anger, and obediently retreat behind Yong Bowen.

Yong Bowen brought the Rat Heavenly Master to his eyes and asked, "What's your name?" What was the original youkai? Why are you here? Who set up this circle? Tell me carefully, as long as you don't tell lies, I will spare your life for the sake of your cultivation that is not easy! ”

The Rat Heavenly Master closed his paws, and first made a gesture at Yong Bowen, and said, "Thank you Heavenly Master for sparing me from dying." The small name is called Gray Skin, originally a mouse in China, once practiced under Changbai Mountain, it took more than 300 years to initially remove the throat stalk, can speak human language, and then the Yellow Skin King of the Demon Unification Front passed by Changbai Mountain, and caught the small one to do his entourage. After the defeat of the Demon Front, the small one fled from China with the Yellow Skin King, went to Europe, joined the Xenomorph Alliance in Poland, and followed the werewolf to fight, and later the Xenomorph Alliance fought against the Mage Association, and the Yellow King unfortunately died in battle, and the small one had no ability, so he didn't dare to stay in that place anymore, so he fled here with his family. When I came to this place, I saw that this hospital was deserted, and I wanted to settle here, but I undoubtedly found that there were many ghosts trapped in the magic circle here, and the small mana was low, so I didn't dare to come in, and I was afraid that the mage who managed to find us would come back, so I quickly fled and lived in the forest behind the island. Who set up this mage array, I really don't know the small one, and I haven't seen a mage come back to inspect this place in the past few years. Xiao Xiao's cultivation progress has been slow over the years, and he saw that there were ghosts here, but he had evil intentions and wanted to wait for these evil ghosts to take shape, so he came to catch them and refine them to improve his skills. It's just that the small mana is too low, until now I can't cultivate the level of the evil ghost, I can only wait, and set up a small spell monitoring in this hospital, last night I felt that the magic circle was broken and wanted to come over to investigate, but it was a thunderstorm, the heaven and the earth were full of thunder, and the small low-level monster was most afraid of this kind of thunder, and did not dare to come out, until the rain stopped this morning, I secretly came to check, only saw a few followers of the heavenly master, and thought that they had inadvertently destroyed the magic circle, because they destroyed the formation, so that those evil ghosts were free, ruined my plan to refine the demons, so the little ones were dizzy for a while, so they wanted to catch them and repair them. The small ones are honest, and please let the heavenly master let the little ones go. ”

This rat heavenly master is a real monster, Yong Bowen just asked simply, it is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, shaking all his old net worth. Yong Bowen couldn't help but be a little amused when he heard this, and asked again: "You have been on the island for so long, have you seen other people or monsters who can do magic?" The Rat Heavenly Master shook his little head like a wave drum, "I've never seen it like this, if it's a mage on the island, he wouldn't dare to come out and shake it at will." But...... The little one had seen some magic circles in other parts of the town, and thought that there were some mages here, but they left for some reason, and they haven't come back. Yong Bowen nodded, turned his head and asked Isuzu Jiabei, and confirmed that none of them were harmed, so he put down the rat celestial master and said, "I don't see that you have any resentment, and I don't think you have done anything harmful, so I'll let you go, you go." It's just that the evil spirits in this array have been subdued by me, and now they are all my subordinates, and you can't hurt them when you see them. "That's natural, borrow the ten dares of the little ones, and the little ones don't dare to hurt the Heavenly Master's subordinates." The rat heavenly master fell to the ground, saluted Yong Bowen, and slipped into the hole and escaped without a trace.

Yong Bowen turned back to those evil ghosts and said, "Since there are no people in the magic world on the island, there is no danger, you can go out for a walk." Ordinary people can't see you, but don't make trouble, and if you hear my call, you must return in time. When the ghosts heard this, they agreed, and they dispersed in a hurry, and ran clean along the gap between the windows and doors. Yong Bowen asked Isuzu Jiabei if he had any money with him. Isuzu Kabei said embarrassedly: "When I escaped from Japan, I brought some money with me for emergencies, but during the tsunami last night, all the money was lost, but now I don't have any money on me." Yong Bowen couldn't help but worry: "What can I do about this, I don't have money, but I can't leave here." Isuzu Jiabei hurriedly asked what was going on, Yong Bowen briefly explained the situation here, and Isuzu Jiabei smiled: "Master, you are confused, there is no money on you, what does it matter, since there are many international gangs here, then communication is definitely not a problem, there should be a bank, as long as you contact your family and ask them to send you some money into your account, isn't it all solved?" ”

I'm the dividing line to keep trying*******************************

I'm very diligent, for the sake of my diligence, let's see a few red tickets.
