Chapter 29: Yin City

Behind that statue is the entrance to the elevator.

This elevator is very similar to the elevator Chen Xian met in the mental hospital, and it can only go down.

Taking out the electronic identity card prepared in advance, Chen Xian swiped it at the elevator button.

With a ding, the elevator door opened.

"Follow me."

"Well."

The elevator leading to Yinshi is actually no different from ordinary elevators, with a bright silver-gray as the main body, modern shape and craftsmanship, but the buttons inside are a little bit unique.

The buttons are all raised buttons, which seem to be made of copper, with a dark yellow luster faintly shining on the surface. Except for the button for opening and closing the elevator door, the remaining two buttons are 1 and -1.

Press the button on the negative floor, and the elevator doors will slowly close and begin to descend silently.

It can be seen from the falling time that the distance between the first floor and the first floor is very long. It is definitely not the distance of three or four meters like ordinary residential buildings, but a distance of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters.

Maybe the elevator descended too fast, Chen Xian felt his eardrums buzzing, the weightlessness made him feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help frowning, he just hoped that the elevator would arrive soon.

Suddenly, the girl tilted her head and looked at Chen Xian. At this moment, her expression became a little strange, as if she noticed that Chen Xian was not feeling well.

Chen Xianzheng frowned and closed his eyes, when he suddenly felt something warm in his ears.

When he opened his eyes, it was she who stretched out her hand to cover her ears.

When she saw Chen Xian open her eyes, the girl smiled foolishly, revealing a cute little canine tooth.

"Sometimes I think you're stupid, and sometimes you're smart..." Chen Xian patted the back of her hand lightly, as if he wasn't used to this slightly intimate gesture, his expression became a little unnatural, but his mouth Li was still scolding her, "Don't jump up and down when you walk, we are going to apply for a certificate, so keep a low profile, understand?"

"Understood." The girl made a clearer voice, but it was not as inarticulate as before.

Soon, the elevator stopped, the heavy metal door slowly opened, and colorful neon lights came in from the street outside.

What is Yinshi like

Before Chen Xian came to Yinshi for the first time, he also made a picture of Yinshi in his mind.

There should be eerie streets, spider webs everywhere, burning paper money, and...

Anyway, that's why it's eerie.

This stereotype continued until he stepped into the gate of Yinshi.

It wasn't until he saw the real Yinshi that he realized that he was wrong.

"Follow me, don't run around."

"Well!"

"Don't say um, it's um, um."

"Ok!"

Although Yinshi is just a special underground business circle, and its area is not too large, if you let outsiders see it, it will definitely feel like a small city independent of the world.

The zenith is about 50 meters high from the ground. If you look at it during the day, you will definitely feel depressing, but it is always in the "late night". In addition, the management's special starry sky lights are always on the zenith. The top seems to have really turned into a starry sky, the sky is full of stars, and there is even a bright moon hanging on the "sky" not far away.

The night is just right.

This is the feeling that everyone who comes to Yinshi will have.

Compared with the modern cities outside, the buildings in Yinshi are a bit older, probably at the level of domestic cities in the 1990s. Most of the houses are just brick-concrete structures, and most of the decorative paint on the outer walls has peeled off. Every corner exudes a dilapidated atmosphere of the old times.

Of course, being old is just being old. From a certain point of view, this place is very prosperous.

This place is like old Hong Kong in the last century. Both sides of the street are covered with dazzling neon signboards. Under those colorful lights, the old streets are also covered with a layer of bizarre shadows. The halo looks like an illusion and seems real, everyone seems to come from the shadow of the lamp and go to the shadow of the lamp again.

Lao Liu’s home cooking, Jinli comes to the pawn shop, hospitality comes to the hotel...

The seemingly ordinary names are shining brightly on the neon lights.

Most of the passers-by were talking in low voices, but from time to time there were drunk people making loud noises, and sometimes some young people could be heard laughing and laughing.

"It's still the same..." Chen Xian walked down the street holding the girl's little hand, and sighed with emotion in a low voice.

Seeing everything new, the girl kept looking around, as if she had discovered something, suddenly tugged Chen Xian's arm, and secretly pointed to a certain man walking on the road.

Chen Xian glanced in the direction she pointed, and warned in a low voice; "Don't point at people on the road, it's impolite."

The man the girl pointed to was about forty years old, with a pale complexion, wearing a dark black suit, and a top hat of the same color on his head. He was walking down the street with his head down, in a hurried manner Going to do something, even wearing thick-soled leather shoes, walking did not make the slightest sound.

If you don't look carefully, you won't see anything strange about this man at all.

He was floating, walking in the air at a height of about ten centimeters from the ground.

"That should be a spirit body, the same as the dean you tore up." Chen Xian led the girl by the hand and walked straight to the old liar's shop without further delay.

There are not only human beings in the Yin Market, but also some non-human beings who legally enter the Yin Market with certificates.

The most common are spirits.

It is undeniable that apart from those harmful spirits, there are still many good spirits in this world, and a very small number of them have the same intelligence as human beings, and they can practice independently.

According to religious theory, they are ghosts and immortals, possessing much stronger power than ordinary spirit bodies. Although they still cannot have real physical bodies, their bodies condensed with yin energy look no different from real physical bodies.

Walking on the road, the girl looked very surprised, and would grab Chen Xian from time to time to signal him to look in a certain direction.

Chen Xian didn't make a sound, and didn't talk too much with the girl, and rushed to the place where the old liar was at the fastest speed, the alley in the deepest part of Yin City.

The old liar runs a grocery store, which is not small, as high as a three-story building, but the location of his store is too remote, and there is no signboard, so it may take a lot of effort for unfamiliar customers to find it .

Chen Xian took the girl into the door and saw that the old liar was not on the first floor but upstairs. It seemed that he was in a good mood today, humming and singing upstairs. The older and more coquettish singing made Chen Xian Feeling a little dizzy.

"Time has passed and will never return... the past can only return, alas!"

There was a muffled bang, and the old liar's singing stopped.

Judging from the sound of him falling to the ground, the old thing should have fallen hard, and gasped for half a minute with a hiss.

"Boss Ge!"

"Xiao Chen, are you here? Wait for me to come down immediately!"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, an old man ran down the stairs quickly, with gray hair and a thin figure. He didn't seem to feel cold in this March day. He was only wearing a white vest with holes on his upper body. He was wearing a pair of particularly eye-catching colorful beach pants, and a pair of flip flops under his feet.

Seeing his attire, Chen Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he had gone to the Xing Ye for an audition, he might have played the role of Huoyun Cthulhu, this attire is so unconventional and dazzling.

"Aren't you cold?" Chen Xian couldn't help asking him.

The old liar chuckled, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and said with a smile: "There is heating in my store, anyway, the public will reimburse the electricity bill, so idiots won't open it."

"It's March and you still turn on the heating, you don't have to worry about getting angry." Chen Xian said helplessly.

The old liar just smiled without explaining, and turned his eyes away from Chen Xian, staring at the girl almost intently, the fire of gossip burning in his eyes.

"Xiao Chen, this girl is..."

"My friend." Chen Xian introduced without changing his expression, "She is the one who applies for the certificate."

The old liar approached the two of them with a smile on his face, kept looking at the girl, and asked gossipingly, "Little girl, what's your name? How did you meet Xiao Chen?"

The girl blinked her big innocent eyes without saying a word.

"Master Ge, can you stop asking..." Chen Xian said eagerly, and stopped calling him the boss, "This matter is really urgent, shall we get the business done first?"

Hearing this, the old liar gave the girl a reluctant look. Although his face was full of curiosity, he still decided to follow what Chen Xian said.

"Okay, let's go up and take a photo for ID."

As the old liar said, he walked to the stairs again and staggered up the stairs.
