"Where are we going?" At the intersection where the corridors converged, three people wearing secret masks on their faces stopped there, and one of them, a slightly cold man, asked.
The smallest body of the three stopped there, emerging from the mask.
In front of them was a straight and horizontal crossroad. There were three roads, and there was no end to each of them. Everything was lost in the darkness.
"How about moving your head?" suggested the bridesmaid.
Baili Xin looked at Xi Niang with a thoughtful look, "Can you handle it?"
Bride: "If I really encounter danger, I will shout for help. You come back to save me, right?"
Baili Xin did not answer the bride's question, but asked another question: "If you were allowed to choose, which path would you choose?"
The bridesmaid was stunned. She thought seriously for more than ten seconds and pointed to the road ahead, "This road."
Baili Xin: "Okay, let's take this road."
The bridesmaid was stunned again: "Hey, why do you let me make the decision? What if I make the wrong choice?"
Baili Xin: "It doesn't matter. If we make the wrong choice, we will come back. As the saying goes, mother and child are connected. If you want to find your child so badly, maybe God will guide you in the right direction."
The bridesmaid thought about it and felt that it was indeed the case. She no longer hesitated and said, "Okay, let's follow my intuition."
Choose one of the three to decide the path, and the three people continue to move forward.
They had just come out of underground. The road here was familiar to Baili Xin and Dijia, but as they walked, they found themselves in a strange corridor they had never seen before and faced the century-old dilemma of choosing one out of three.
There was just the scene just now.
Dijia walked in the front, Baili Xin walked at the back, and Xiniang, who needed the most protection in the team, was in the middle of the team.
They had been walking for about a few minutes when they heard faint sounds of smashing and smashing things ahead.
Then there were roars and the frightened cries of a baby.
When hearing the child crying, the matchmaker was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore.
She took big impatient steps and was about to miss Dijia and rush forward, otherwise Baili Xin would have quickly grabbed Xiniang's wrist, and Xiniang would have rushed to the front and confronted her head-on.
Baili Xin lowered his voice and said, "Be patient."
The bridesmaid stamped her feet anxiously, "Why shouldn't I be anxious?! Then why is my child crying? What do they want my child to do?"
During the struggle, the mask slipped from her face, revealing her true appearance and the helpless tears on her face.
Seeing that Xiniang was becoming more and more anxious, Baili Xin simply chopped her down with a knife. Xiniang rolled her eyes and immediately slid down the wall to the ground.
Emperor Ga: “…”
The chopping is good, the chopping is wonderful, the chopping is amazing.
Sure enough, today is another day that I love Baili Xin.
Baili Xin laid Xi Niang down on the corridor and glanced at Dijia, "You are here to see her and I am here to see her?"
"???" Dijia, "Why do you have to look at her? She doesn't have any treasure."
It's better to look at me than at her.
Baili Xin: "...Since you don't want to see her, then I'll stay and you go in?"
Dijia looked at the room where the tears were getting louder and louder, then looked at Baili Xin. Although there was still some reluctance in his heart, in the face of danger and jealousy, he still tolerated jealousy.
The man glanced at the woman and said, "Okay, you stay here. If anything happens, call for help. I will hear you."
After he finished speaking, he waited until Baili Xin nodded to indicate that he had heard it before he turned around and walked in.
In the room, Baili Xin could vaguely hear the mysterious man's shocked voice.
"Who are you?"
"What are you going to do?"
“Stop it!”
Louder "bang bang" sounds were heard. Baili Xin listened to the fight nearby while looking down at the woman's face.
Even though she was unconscious, the woman still had a frown on her face, and she stammered, "Child, my child."
"Dad, Mom, Xin Niang is unfilial."
"Please, don't hurt me."
The woman didn't know what she was dreaming about, and her tears, which had never dried up, began to roll down again.
Baili Xin crossed his arms over his chest, leaned his back lazily against the wall, propped one foot against the wall, and looked fixedly in the direction of the fight.
Not long after, the fight stopped.
The sound of a heavy object being dragged on the ground was heard, and soon the door was pushed open. A tall man, holding another man in one hand and a newborn baby in the other, walked slowly towards Baili Xin.
Before Baili Xin could get any closer, the man swung his arm and threw the man he was dragging in front of Baili Xin.
The mask on the man's face had fallen off, revealing his bruised and battered features. On his neck, the mark was very eye-catching.
He hadn't completely fainted yet, and his pair of resentful eyes stared at Baili Xin, as if he wanted to nail him to the wall behind him.
Baili Xin's eyes fell on Fang's neck, "Are you the owner of the auction house?"
The man looked at Baili Xin, neither agreeing nor denying.
Baili Xin leaned down and looked at the man carefully. "He looks too weak. Wasn't the evil ghost that chased us that day raised by the ghost market owner? The power he possessed then was much greater than it is now. This man looks like a stand-in."
"No matter what," Dijia said coldly, "hand him over to me, I will take him back to the underworld and torture him severely."
"Even if he is not the owner of the Ghost Market, he is still closely related to the Ghost Market owner. When I went in just now, he was about to throw the child into the furnace. He did a lot of bad things."
"Avici hell has been reserved."
Dijia frowned and looked at the unconscious woman on the ground, "Is she still awake?"
Baili Xin: "No, I called her up and asked her to recognize whether the child is hers or not."
The moment the woman was awakened, she immediately threw herself in front of the child and said, "Child, my child."
"Thank you, thank you."
The woman cried while holding the naive baby in her arms. In between her cries, she used her free hand to step on the ferocious-looking man.
The man had been weakened by Dijia early in the morning, and seeing that he was stepped on by the woman, the man roared angrily, scaring the woman so much that she retreated step by step with a pale face while holding the child.
He glared at the woman, then looked at Dijia with fear, and finally looked at Baili Xin.
"Don't think you've found my master if you catch me! I tell you, my master can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and he can do anything! If you suffer humiliation for my master today, I will make you pay double in the future! I curse you, you will be devoured by endless resentful spirits! And you will become a part of the resentful spirits and a puppet of the master! Hahahaha, you idiots, you will never find your master!"
"Hahahaha, die, you have to die, you have to die with me!"
After saying the last word, the man's body began to expand like a balloon filled with air.
Baili Xin reacted quickly. A second before the man exploded, he quickly summoned a shield and protected the three people firmly inside the shield.
There was a loud bang, followed by the sound of flesh and blood exploding.
The sticky scarlet residue was everywhere, looking creepy and weird.
The woman screamed, and in this hell, her eyes rolled back and she fainted again. Even though she was unconscious, the child was still held tightly in her arms, without causing any harm.

Studio.
Hiss, it’s been a long time since I saw such a blood-pumping large-scale scene.
… How can you make it sound so yhsq when a monster explodes on its own
So, the person that the boss just brought out is not the owner of the Ghost Market. Then where is the owner of the Ghost Market
Didn't Xin Shen get a clue during the auction that the owner of the ghost market was always very mysterious and used puppets when he appeared? It seems that this boss is much smarter than the previous boss.
No one knows where the ghost market owner is, no one knows who the fake King of Hell is, and where is the saint? And where is the demon baby? Isn't one of Xin Shen's missions to find the demon baby and kill it? Oh my god, there are only three days left, why do I feel like I'm in a trap
What should I do? I always feel that God Xin cannot complete this mission.
In fact, I always think so, but every time God Xin slaps me in the face.
Well, I hope God Xin will continue to slap us in the face this time.

When the bride woke up, the first thing she did was to look at the child in her arms. Seeing the child lying in her arms intact, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then she realized that there were many figures around her.
Among these women rescued from the auction house, she recognized one of them, whose name seemed to be Que'er.
Que'er handed her a cup of soup. The rich tea aroma was mixed with a slightly bitter taste. "You finally woke up. You slept for a long time."
"Drinking the medicine can drive away the cold and calm your emotions."
Xi Niang looked at Que'er hesitantly, and saw Que'er smiling and saying, "I know you are scared, let go, we are all together. Lord Baili Xin told us that your parents are no longer alive. Alas, you are also a miserable person, from now on we will watch over each other and help each other through the difficulties together."
After hearing what Que'er said, Xi Niang took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.
The soup had a slightly bitter taste followed by a sweet aftertaste. She felt drowsy after drinking it, and even the sound of the sparrow began to become hazy and blurred.
"This medicine will help you sleep. Take a nap first, then wake up, and everything will be fine."
Finally, the bridesmaid closed her eyes again with satisfaction.
When she woke up again, it was dark outside.
There were a few candles lit in the room. Apart from herself, there was no one else, not even the baby in her arms.
A trace of fear flashed across her eyes, and she sat up from the bed in a panic. Just as she was halfway up, the door opened and Que'er walked in.
Seeing Que'er, Xi Niang shouted angrily, "Where's my child?!"
Because she was out of control, her voice became particularly sharp and hoarse.
Que'er was startled by her, her face changed color, and she forced a smile and replied, "We, we saw that you were too tired. You slept for a full twenty hours, you can go without food or drink, but the child can't. So we took the child to the next door to feed him, and we will bring it to you soon."
The bridesmaid seemed to realize that her expression was a bit exaggerated. She coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry. It's really because the child was lost and found again that I was too nervous and that's why he acted like this. I didn't mean to yell at you."
Que'er immediately returned to her previous elder sister demeanor: "It's okay, mother, we understand."
The bridesmaid glanced at Que'er awkwardly: "Where is Lord Baili Xin? Why am I here? Did he bring me here?"
Que'er: "Oh, he brought you here and left in a hurry, leaving you a message asking you to get well."
The bridesmaid stared at the candle on the table and said in a vague voice: "He is such a good man."
Que'er's eyes lit up instantly: "Ah, he's a really good man! I've never seen anyone better than him."
The expression on the bride's face was full of mystery. She said quietly, "But since ancient times, it is difficult for good people to live long."
She paused, then smiled at Que'er's surprised gaze, "But he must be different."
"I never thought that we would see the light of day again and live a normal life. Do you know what Lord Baili Xin is doing?"
Que'er: "It seems that they are going to the ghost market to find some saintly demon baby, but I don't quite understand the details."
The bridesmaid smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I didn't understand it either. I hope he thinks hard enough and it will come true."
Que'er: "What are your plans next?"
Bride: "Let's settle down here. After all, we have a child and I can't get away. Isn't it a bit long to send the child to be fed? Why don't you give him back to me? I miss the child very much."
Que'er was in a daze for two seconds: "Oh, oh, Shao, I'll bring the child to you."
Soon, the child was brought over by Que'er. After putting the child down and giving him a few more instructions, Que'er left quickly again.
Finally, only the matchmaker and the baby were left in the room.
In the distance, the candlelight was shining brightly. The bridesmaid lowered her head and looked at the baby in her arms with an ambiguous look.
In the darkness, the baby opened his eyes and looked at his mother with empty eyes.
From the hidden and narrow room, a woman's strange sneer was heard.
"What are you laughing at, so cheerful?"
Suddenly, a cold male voice that shouldn't have appeared sounded in the room. The bridesmaid trembled all over and looked in the direction of the voice in surprise.
I don't know when the window was opened, and a slender figure was leaning outside the window.
The moonlight fell right on the young man's face, making his already fair and beautiful face look even more gentle.
Baili Xin had a smile on his face, his arms resting on the windowsill, his chin supported by one hand, and he looked at the woman leisurely.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
There was a smile on the bride's face that she couldn't hide in time.
She stared blankly at the young man in front of her, wanting to retract her smile, but because of surprise, the smile froze on her face, and finally turned into a strange expression with an artificial smile.
Xi Niang coughed lightly and said, "Well, long time no see, Lord Baili Xin, aren't you investigating the matter of the owner of the ghost market? How come you have time to come to my place?"
Baili Xin: "If I don't come here, how can I investigate the owner of the ghost market?"
The bride's eyes flickered, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Baili Xin: "You really like to name your children with the word 'mother' in it, Xiniang. Or should I call you 'Li Sanniang' or 'Yingniang'?"
Xi Niang blinked her eyes, "Master Baili Xin, what are you talking about? Who are Li Sanniang and Yingniang? Don't recognize them randomly. I am me, not anyone else."
Baili Xin sighed: "The last time I went back to the paper-making shop, I went to the second floor to rest."
"You don't know that I left a special mark at Li Sanniang's door."
"But at this time, I had already begun to suspect that Yingniang was Li Sanniang. The reason I became suspicious in the beginning was the pink powder I found in the eighteenth level of Avici Hell."
"The pink powder contains not only pollen from Lycoris radiata and powdered ashes from children's bones, but also a very faint floral scent. If you don't have a very sensitive sense of smell, you probably won't be able to smell it at all."
"I vaguely felt like I had smelled this smell somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where."
"Until that day I went to find you. You were by the Naihe Bridge and asked me to help you pick three red spider lilies."
"When the wind blows, the scent of Lycoris radiata also carries a faint familiar smell."
"It's true that the taste this time reminds me of Li Sanniang."
"When you were disguising yourself as Li Sanniang, you always put on a thick layer of white foundation. Because it was applied too thickly, you didn't notice that even when you removed the foundation, you still had that faint fragrance on your body."
"It is this smell that cannot be eliminated that exposes you, Yingniang, and Li Sanniang."
"In the auction basement, the first thing I smelled when I entered was your unique scent."
"When you came out, Que'er was staring at you because she had never seen you before. Also, how could she have seen you before? In addition to these three identities, you have an even more mysterious identity, that is, the owner of the ghost market."
"Mrs. Li Sanniang has a big belly, but she is not fat, it is because she is pregnant."
"You gave birth in there, not because you were caught. At that time, the Snake Man and the Horned Man stood there solemnly. They were not respectful because of the birth of the child, but because of the person who gave birth in there, their master."
"I could have exposed your identity when I was sure that Li Sanniang was Yingniang, but I didn't do it."
"Because I want to know what you are trying to do and what your conspiracy is."
The timid eyes of the bride gradually turned cold. She looked at Baili Xin coldly and asked, "What nonsense! How can a weak woman like me do so many things? Then tell me, if I am really so powerful, what is my purpose? Why do I do this? And how can I appear in so many places at the same time?"
The bridesmaid pulled the child closer to her arms, her cold eyes gradually becoming sharper, no longer the sweet and beautiful girl she had just been.
"You have more than just these four identities. You also have a fifth one, which is the fake King of Hell."
"As for why you did this, you actually told me yourself."
The bride's gradually gloomy face suddenly flashed with a daze, "I told you, when did I tell you?"
"Haha," Baili Xin, "Do you still remember the 'medicine' that Que'er fed you just now? Can't you taste the Meng Po soup you made yourself?"
The bride's expression cracked for a moment, and she looked at Baili Xin with a ferocious look: "What the hell did you do to me?!"
"I'll take advantage of the fact that you're unconscious after drinking Meng Po soup to ask you a few questions."
"I remember you said that your Mengpo soup has resistance. Now exactly three hours have passed. You should remember what happened just now."
As soon as Baili Xin finished speaking, Xiniang felt a sharp pain in her brain as if struck by lightning.
Several unfamiliar memories quickly crowded into her mind.
As her memories gradually returned, Xiniang sat on the bed in a daze.
— “Why do you capture so many women to give birth?”
— "To make the most suitable vessel for my child."
-"your child?"
— "I was pregnant when I died, and the baby was inside my belly. It was so small and so innocent."
—"I will not give in. I want revenge. I want to resurrect myself and my children as well."
— "So you induced the saint after he entered the underworld?"
—"Oh, he is a hypocrite who is afraid of death and lusts after beauty. I died in vain because of his pregnancy, which has long been a stain on his merit book. Do you think he came to the underworld to find me because he loves me?"
—"It's ridiculous. This is a jb love story made up by later generations."
—"He came to the underworld to erase the bad karma between him and me. This would damage his merits and prevent him from becoming a saint or a god. He was a selfish hypocrite from beginning to end. The good things he did were only for a good reputation and for future ascension, just like when he couldn't hold back at the bottom of the cliff and wanted my body."
— "But what happened between him and me has long been recorded in the book of merit. If I go to Hades' Palace, everything will be revealed."
— "I think I provoked him, and finally, out of fear and panic, he went completely insane. After going insane, he had only one thought, which was to eliminate his sins."
—"But this is what I expected. I hate him so much, why would I be willing to be reincarnated like this? Not only do I want revenge, I also want to expose the saint as a hypocrite. Hahahaha, I watched him build a tall building, and I watched it collapse."
—"Do you know why he finally agreed to these ridiculous things that he did out of love? Because of this, I became the thorn that bewitched him."
— "I am a beauty who brings disaster, and he is so angry for her."
—"He killed someone, but he cleared himself of all guilt and left a good name behind. It's really unlucky."
—"I lay dormant for so long just for revenge."
— "The page he erased contained not only my name, but also my child's name."
— "But my child had no physical form at that time. I only have a ghost of him here."
— "In order to bring him back to life, I need to find a container that is suitable enough."
