"Li Zhao, today is already the Ghost Festival. If I remember correctly, your Underworld Apple Eight should be on the market today. How about it? Are you ready for the Underworld Coin I want?"
"Of course, I don't dare to neglect Mr. Jiang's instructions. I have already prepared them."
"I heard that the price of Apple Eight is not cheap. Shouldn't it be difficult for you to spend such a large sum of money?"
"No, no! Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about? You are willing to ask me, Zhao Li, for money. That is because you can afford me, Zhao Li. It's just a few ghost coins. What's the trouble?"
"I didn't realize it before, but you are actually so smart. As the saying goes, you reciprocate love in return. In this case, I will try not to use the life and death contract at will in the future to interfere with the normal cycle of life and death."
“……..”
The Ghost Festival is an annual festival. According to legend, this is the festival when ghosts return to the sun. Every year on this day, a large number of ghosts will pass through the gate of ghosts and come from the underworld to the human world. Therefore, this day is also called:
Ghost Festival!
People in the world fear ghosts and gods, even if they do not respect gods, but they fear ghosts. Therefore, the street scene today is very deserted. Most of the shops, large and small, are closed almost as soon as it falls. There are even almost no people in sight on the streets. arrive.
Taking a cash box from Li Zhao's hand, Jiang Chen left convenience store No. 444 and came to a nearby bus stop. The old man sat on the rest chair. In front of him, one bus after another, He kept going in and out of the station, but he didn't seem to see it at all.
He was waiting for a car, but the car he was waiting for was not a human car!
Time continued to pass, and it was not until after ten o'clock that a bus arrived belatedly. This was an unearthly bus, and the people on the bus were usually not living people.
This is a ghost car!
The reason Jiang Chen waited for this bus was because he wanted to go to the nearby ghost market. However, he didn't want to go with Zhao Li, so he came out to take the bus. His idea was very simple. Anyway, on the Ghost Festival, ghost buses Basically, it is to transport the dead to the ghost market. As long as he takes the ghost car, going to the ghost market is just a piece of cake. If he is lucky, he might even meet Pluto who sneaks out to play.
After parking the car and opening the door, Jiang Chen got into the car. He took out a ghost coin and stuffed it into the coin box. He looked around and saw that there were many people in the car. Oh, or should I say, there were many ghosts in the car, men and women. Young and old, the seats were almost full, except for... a girl in red.
Like a car full of ghosts, the girl in red is not a mortal, she is a god!
Gods and ghosts were riding together. Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile. It was really interesting. He hadn't encountered such an interesting pairing for a long time.
Without saying a word, Jiang Chen immediately came to the last row of the carriage and sat directly in the empty seat next to the girl.
The girl was very pretty, with a ponytail and a red floral dress. Seeing Jiang Chen dare to sit next to her, she immediately grinned, showing her white teeth.
"You shouldn't have come up here."
As soon as she opened her mouth, it was a warning. The girl seemed to have a sweet smile on her face, but behind this smile, there was an imperceptible coldness hidden behind it.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Chen responded with a non-committal reply: "But I don't think so!" He knew very well that the girl in red who looked like a girl in front of him had extremely powerful strength and had definitely surpassed the realm of immortals. Even if Even in the Hunyuan realm, he is not a weak player, but even so, he does not care about the other party's warning, because he is confident enough in his own strength.
The girl in red smiled and said: "You are really confident, but sometimes, it is not a good thing for people to be too confident."
"I don't think so."
Jiang Chen also responded with a smile: "My confidence comes from my strength. As for being too much, it's not necessarily true, because before I got in the car, I had already determined that this ghost car can take me where I want to go. I went to the ghost market, and there was nothing on the ghost car that could threaten me."
"Ghost market? Are you going to the ghost market?!"
Hearing this, the girl in red couldn't help but her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "I want to go too, I want to go too, I heard it's so fun there!"
While the two were talking, the bus came to a stop again. The door opened and a boy came up. He was wearing headphones. When he saw Jiang Chen, he smiled at him and said hello, and then faced the bus door. sat down in a position.
There was an old lady with a blue face who got on the bus with him. After getting on the bus, she sat in the side seat opposite him, but he couldn't see her because of the different roads between people and ghosts.
"Good brother... Just take me there. I'm a little girl. I'm out alone at night. What if I meet a bad person?"
Tears welled up in the eyes of the girl in red, and her voice was so sweet and waxy that it made Jiang Chen tremble all over. We are all thousands of years old, is it really okay to act cute like this
"I think it's better to forget it. You're a little girl. I can't afford to pay you if you get lost."
After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately shook his head and refused: "Besides, you are not an ordinary little girl at all. Everyone knows it, so why do you bother me?"
"Oh, please..."
The boy who had just got into the car looked back with a strange expression on his face. He rubbed his eyes vigorously. Unfortunately, Jiang Chen was the only one he saw. This made him frown and quickly turned around. Turn over and sit up straight.
The car drove forward and soon reached the next stop. The bus stopped in front of the stop sign. There was a man and a woman waiting for the bus under the stop sign. Judging from their intimate appearance, they must be a couple.
At first, the boy didn't think much about it, but when he accidentally saw that there was only one bus marked on the stop sign, and this bus was the bus he was taking now, he couldn't help but frown again. I glanced at the young couple again. However, the couple seemed to have not seen the two buses at all, and kept standing on tiptoe to look behind them.
Seemingly counting the time, the girl in the couple kept looking at her phone, as if she was impatient for waiting. The boy's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, and he couldn't help but stand up. At this moment, The car started again, but his eyes were still slowly moving back.
Suddenly, a bit of fear suddenly emerged in the boy's heart. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became very depressing. He wanted to find someone to talk to, but besides himself, Jiang Chen was the only one in the car. At that moment, He had to swallow and then walked to the driver's seat.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, you’ll be half dead if you look at it!
"ah!"
There was a scream, and the boy was almost frightened to death on the spot, because just now, he discovered that there was no driver in this car at all!
As soon as his legs weakened, he fell directly to the floor of the carriage. Who knew that at this moment, ghosts around him were looking at him curiously.
It is a very rare thing for a living person to ride on a ghost car, except for a person with great supernatural powers like Jiang Chen.
"Hey, young man, get out of the car quickly, this car is not for people to sit in."
Seeing that the boy was frightened, Jiang Chen quickly shouted. You must know that the spirit of flesh and blood of living people has a great attraction for ghosts. At this moment, some ghosts around him were almost unable to bear it. Come on, if Hades hadn't issued a ban prohibiting evil ghosts from eating people, maybe they would have swarmed him.
The boy looked at Jiang Chen. Now he was so frightened that he could not speak. As soon as the car stopped, he stumbled up and climbed out of the bus almost on his hands and feet. A gust of night wind passed by, and he His back was covered with cold sweat. It was only then that he could clearly see where the empty car was. The car was densely packed with various ghosts, each of them sticking their head out of the window. Looking at him coquettishly, it was like looking at another delicious meal.
"ah!"
Fear, fear, extreme fear. At this moment, he could no longer suppress it. The boy held his head with both hands and screamed in terror. Then, as if possessed, he ran wildly along the road. , he... wants to escape from this terrible place...
