At this moment, Wen Zheliu's eyes darkened, and the words "social death" hit him hard on the head like a mountain of weight -

It's over, everything is over, his reputation, their reputation, the perfect reputation accumulated in the uncanny valley, the noble and cool image... It's over, it's all fucking over!

It was as quiet as death. Mother-of-pearl lacquered gold trays were placed in front of everyone. The glass wine glasses contained the most advanced Shinbai Junmai Daiginjo brewing technology. In order to repay the guests for their lavish spending, these were provided to them for free. , there are few demons and ghosts who are not intoxicated by the clear aroma of wine... At this moment, Hua Ying still holds the cup in his hand. Chi Qingliu likes to drink. Even though he knows that this is the ghost's wine, he still can't help but sip it. Right now, this precious mouthful of wine was in his mouth. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out. Instead, it gurgled along the corners of his dull, open mouth... like a retarded person.

The introducer who brought the two people here didn't know what was going on. The tanuki demon in a kimono spread out a small golden fan with its short paws. He felt that he was really lucky! The three-season ghost girl who is rare for others to see, now hurriedly pushed open the screen after just a few words, oh Lord Jiang Xue is really more snowy and cold than Bai Xueji, tomorrow Lord Xia is so beautiful, the so-called looking forward to the city Is it nothing more than this? Harukai-sama... Wuwu Harunami-sama... I am willing to serve Harunami-sama for the rest of my life...

After being excited for a while, it hesitantly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the scene... Murderous aura was not murderous, and solemnity was not solemn. The civet cat demon turned its head and saw two craftsmen who had been introduced by it. They all looked like they were in a daze, and I couldn't help but secretly scream, "It's bad!"

The three ghost ladies pushed open the screen so quickly, obviously very satisfied with the visitors. Instead of being quick and courteous at this time, they made it look like country bumpkins had just entered the city. With such a useless reaction, the ghost ladies must have Do you think you made a mistake in your judgment and lost your face

Thinking of this, the raccoon cat demon quickly sat up straight with his chubby body, turned his head and scolded: "What's going on with you two, hurry up and talk!"

Hua Ying's hands were already shaking, and the wine was shaking tremblingly in the cup, and a lot of it was spilled.

… Talk, talk, talk? What words can he say...what words can he say

Does it mean "hell everyone, we just heard that the last name Goto sounded familiar, so we came over to take a look. I didn't expect it was you. Hahahaha. As the saying goes, there are no places in life where we meet. If life is just like the first meeting, life grows and hates the water." Or "Women's clothing" "Okay, the women's clothing is wonderful, the women's clothing looks awesome" Huh

To say the first sentence, the field will only fall into a situation that is colder than the West Siberian ice field. To say the second sentence... To say the second sentence, his death star will burn in the sky soon. This is simply using life to break the ice and warm it. Field!

Say something! He pushed his elbow hard against Chi Qingliu beside him, and quickly said something without looking at the other person's face, which turned dark!

Chi Qingliu was knocked to the ground a few times by him. He had a mouth and said in a demented voice: "Ba, Ba, Ba..."

Hua Ying stared blankly at his mouth opening and closing, bumping up and down, and thought to himself, are you going to call him daddy? ! Don't be a coward, brother, just call me daddy and I'll kneel down with you at most. Then you'll be the one who's embarrassed!

"...Ba Shi is very good!" After a long period of brewing, Chi Qingliu Shi finally shouted out loud and mentally retarded for the first time.

Huaying: "..."

… Oh my God, I declare that I believe in the God of the Second Dimension and swear that I will have no regrets in this life and that I will be an anime person in the second and next life. Please take me away now!

There was silence on the other side for a long time, but He Qin was the first to come to his senses. He sighed and said to the civet cat demon who had led the two people here: "You should step back. Just keep these two people."

This group of people brought heavy gifts to meet the legendary Ghost Girl of Three Seasons. They were accompanied by clouds of servants, ghosts, fire and fox demons, and there was only a band playing and singing in front. Hearing what He Qin said, the civet cat demon didn't dare to disobey. It grabbed the gold folding fan and waved it, ordering all the followers to exit the room. In just a short moment, there were only six people left in the empty luxurious room.

Could it be that he wanted to silence him... Hua Ying pulled Chi Qingliu and collapsed on the ground, his calves trembling. Du Zijun walked over with a dark face and kicked the two of them: "Get up!"

Since an acquaintance was here, Wen Zheliu didn't need to fan to cover his Adam's apple. He held his forehead to calm down for a while, then asked with a smile on his face, "So... what are you doing?"

Xie Yuanyuan said quietly: "They have seen everything that should be seen and should not be seen, so why not just let them..."

Hua Ying trembled and shouted: "Don't kill me! I didn't see anything and I will keep it a secret. Please don't kill me!"

Du Zijun clicked his tongue, held up his collar and threatened: "Keep your voice down! You're not afraid of being heard outside, are you?"

Hua Ying and Chi Qingliu hugged each other, like little white mice surrounded by four evil wolves. They were pitiful, weak, and helpless, but they could eat.

At this moment, Chi Qingliu finally came to his senses and opened his mouth to cry or not: "God, what is going on!"

"Brother, aren't you from Sichuan and Chongqing? Why do you speak Hanzhong dialect?" Hua Ying did not forget to complain at the critical moment, "It is unlucky to change your place of origin before you die!"

"Okay, okay," Wen Zheliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I have no intention of killing you to silence you! This is just a safer way to infiltrate... The initial location of the White Tower teleportation is here, so we can only do this."

Seeing that they were getting down to business and had no intention of letting the dead keep the secret forever, Hua Ying and Chi Qingliu got up from the ground and sat down.

"What about you?" He Qin asked, "You came here also to qualify for the Taifu election?"

"... That's right," Chi Qingliu was still in a daze when facing three men dressed in women's clothes. "Everyone has the same goal. Although I don't know how much your goal is... well, hey, how much is your goal? According to the information we have gathered, customers who come to Yangwu for consumption, regular customers must spend 1,500 gold within a month, and strangers must spend 2,000 gold in order to be eligible to attend the general election."

Huaying was sitting upright. He was wearing dark gray trousers and black feather-woven trousers with regular dark patterns tattooed on them. Even his mature uncle's face became solemn. He nodded slightly: "So, let's squander money. , by the way, I got to know Yoshihara’s sister... the local customs, just for this little invitation."

"Meet Yoshihara's girl." Wen Zheliu said coldly, "Don't think I didn't hear you."

Huaying said with a serious expression: "Alas! As the saying goes, money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat..."

He Qin: "Meet Yoshihara's girl."

"... We worked hard and finally got the qualified number before we dared to hire people... "

Xie Yuanyuan: "Yoshihara, sister."

"...Come to Yangwu to explore..."

Du Zijun: "Sister."

"...That's enough, you guys!" Hua Ying flipped up the table angrily, "Why didn't I just let out a single word? Why are you being so stubborn! What's more, I'm an older housekeeper and I've never been to a place like this before, so what's the point of being curious! "

"That's the question," Xie Yuanyuan bit his pen and asked, "You two have never been to Yangwu before. According to the standard, you are both strangers. One person is two thousand gold, two people is four thousand gold. How do you earn it? Come out for everyone’s reference?”

Chi Qingliu and Hua Ying stopped talking.

There was an eerie silence, Hua Ying swallowed his throat, Chi Qing gently scratched the back of his hand, looked at the sky, the ground, and the lights, but did not look at the sight of the four people.

"What's going on?" He Qin stared at them closely, his golden eyes deep and sharp, "You couldn't have done something..."

"No!" Hua Ying immediately shouted, "Absolutely not!"

Answering too quickly made it even more suspicious. Wen Zheliu also frowned and whispered: "What happened? Did you kill people and take wealth?"

Hua Ying and Chi Qingliu looked at each other, and finally said reluctantly: "No killing... It's just that the deadline of the task is very tight, one month... You are also familiar with the prices here, it is not a small amount..."

"Let's get to the point." Du Zijun ignored their coy demeanor and went straight to the point.

Huaying sighed deeply: "... You are the first to enter here. I am about three hours behind you. You borrowed the identity of a wandering girl, and I borrowed the identity of a poor man."

"I was even worse than him. I woke up in a mass grave!" Chi Qingliu interjected.

"After I came here, there were no main quest prompts and no teammates. I only found out that the general background of this world is the Underworld Kingdom in Japanese mythology, and the place I am now is Yoshihara in the Underworld Kingdom. The ghost calls it Nightless. City." Huaying continued, "Player currency cannot be used here. In order to find out information, I went into a tavern and invited the ghost there to have a banquet. When I paid the bill, I used the player's gold coins. I was almost kicked out of the tavern. The boss was hacked to death, and then I realized that all the money used in the city that never sleeps is dead people's money."

"Then how did you escape in the end?" Xie Yuanyuan asked.

Huaying shrugged helplessly: "I built a small dishwashing robot on the spot and gave it to him."

Remembering that Hua Ying and Chi Qingliu both called themselves craftsmen on the gift list, Wen Zheliu suddenly said, "I see, so you made a fortune by selling Yan dolls... and mechanical creatures?"

He frowned, and then denied it to himself: "No, that's not right. If you want to accumulate four thousand gold, you must come to the place with the highest consumption level in the entire Evernight City to sell goods, but we have never seen your props... What happened? "

Huaying was silent. It was Chi Qingliu's turn to say: "Even if we want to come to Yangwu to do business and save money, it is impossible. The rule of the city that never sleeps is to serve whoever you make money. We want to make Yangwu wandering girls." The money means that we are one level lower than the wandering girls in Yangwu. If we want to spend money, we can only go to the wandering girls outside Yangwu to spend money, and we will never get the admission qualification."

"That… "

"I told you, I woke up in the mass graves," Chi Qingliu said helplessly, "The avenue outside the gate of the Evernight City is the legendary Huangquan Birazan. Follow the Huangquan Birazan and cross the Huangquan River surrounding the Evernight City. Dead ghosts can also return to the world, but no ghost has ever been able to wade through the waters of the Yellow Springs River. On both sides of the Yellow Springs Hirazaka is the place where ghosts die, with endless corpses everywhere, waiting to rot in the black fire."

"When I woke up, there happened to be an open money bag among the corpses next to me. There was still some money in it, so I picked it up, got into the group entering the city, followed in, and then met Hua Ying." Chi Qing Rumor has it.

Wen Zheliu seemed to have guessed what they were doing.

"This is a treasure-hunting rat." Huaying opened his hand, and a silver-white rat-shaped mechanical life emerged from it.

"This is... the gold-eating beast." A pangolin-like pangolin crawled out from Chi Qingliu's waist.

Xie Yuanyuan opened his eyes wide: "You... you want to die, and you are going to dig up someone's grave?!"

Hua Ying was unhappy for a moment: "What do you mean by digging a grave... These are ghosts, not people! And they died right there. There wasn't even a body collector. We picked up the money and buried it for them. We treated it as a collection of corpses." Can’t you afford funeral expenses?”

Chi Qingliu also said: "Gua Wa'er, you are short of income and we are short of income. Don't let this money go outside. We will make up for whatever you are short of. That's not the best of both worlds. Is it good for you or me?"

Xie Yuanyuan hesitated. He felt that it was wrong to do this, but what Huaying and Chi Qingliu said seemed to make sense. When they were in a dilemma, Du Zijun, who was watching coldly, said, "Just you two, where are the others?"

"Xiao Xi led another team, which is not at the same transit station as me," Chi Qingliu said quickly, "Li Zhengqing also led someone to lurk in Yangwu. Have you seen her?"

"Li Zhengqing?" Wen Zheliu was surprised, "She is..."

The atmosphere suddenly condensed. The six people stopped talking at the same time and raised their heads. Xie Yuanyuan said softly: "There is murderous intent."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights in the room went out!

He Qin stood up, with the hem of his coat flying in the air. He walked to the window, and his golden eyes peered into the night. More than one of their rooms was extinguished. No matter their rank or status, there was no light in the room. You Nu's screams of shock and anger could be heard everywhere. Only the top of Awakihara still shines brightly, like the sun rising in the dark night.

"Something's happened," he said in a deep voice, and at the same time he heard a huge rumble gradually resounding, like the roar of a giant beast, "It looks like the whole city is under martial law."

"What, what, what?!" Hua Ying rolled up from the ground in shock, "It's not like we were the ones poaching the dead people... They found out about the dead money. Are they coming to arrest us?!"

"Impossible," Wen Zheliu categorically denied. He took out a luminous pearl and used it to temporarily illuminate an area. He hurriedly walked to the window, "I can feel that the ghost who came this time... is very powerful. .”

"They are not on the same level as the ghost shadow warriors in Yang's house," Du Zijun closed his eyes slightly and listened to the vibrations of the earth, with a solemn expression on his face, "If those are the hyenas guarding the door, then what was sent out today... is the evil tiger coming down the mountain!"

Chi Qingliu and Hua Ying also became serious. The status of Yangwu in Yoshiwara is equivalent to the economic and administrative center of a city or country. If the ghost warriors guarding Yangwu can only be called hyenas, then the evil forces that came out tonight will Tiger, what kind of monster could it be

The door was knocked, and the ghost warrior appeared quietly outside their room like a shadow seeping from the cracks in the wall. Wen Zheliu held the voice changer and said calmly: "What happened?"

"Miss Harumi." The ghost shadow warrior's tone was respectful and cold, "Please come out. During this special period, the city that never sleeps is under martial law."

He Qin's eyes were dark and he said coldly: "He is asking you why, but the answer is wrong. Are you deaf?"

With the sharpness and majesty of a mountain, the ghost warriors outside the door retreated one after another. Even if there was a door across the door, it was just a thin paper door, unable to withstand the pressure coming from the face. Under this pressure, they felt that every movement they made was invisible, as if they were just lowly evil ghosts lurking at the foot of the stairs, and the person looking at them was the king looking down from the steps.

The leader hurriedly said: "Please calm down Miss Tomorrow Xia! A very important treasure has been lost in the center of the city. Martial law is a necessary preparation. Please don't embarrass the general... When the martial law passes, Yangwu will definitely make up for the losses of the guests and you!"

"The center of the city?" Du Zijun was a little confused, "Isn't the center of the city Yang..."

He turned his head, his eyes fixed on the distant sky.

—Awakihara is dazzling and stands in the center of Yangya.

Chi Qingliu and Hua Ying stood up gruntingly, like two unlucky men whose love affair was interrupted, opened the door, sighed from the room, and went out with great resentment. When they walked away, the ghost shadow warrior lowered his head again and said: "Please allow the general to lead the troops... to search the house."

Wen Zheliu really couldn't figure it out. What on earth did Abakihara throw away that warranted such a big fanfare and why he had to rummage through the clothes in Yunu's house? Could it be the husband's underwear

"Please," he held the Luminous Pearl on his side with both hands and used his sleeves to cover his Adam's apple, "but I hope you won't mess with our boxes and clothes."

The ghost shadow warrior lowered his head and said with a bit of fear: "I don't dare."

He Qin's eyes were like golden lava, more dazzling than the light of night pearls. He said nothing, always staring coldly at the every move of these ghost warriors. Under the pressure of the powerful, as if there were thorns on his back, the ghost warriors hurriedly rummaged around. After a few moments, he quickly exited.

"What's going on..." Hearing that they were walking away, Xie Yuanyuan wondered, "Did someone steal something from Awa Qihara and make it so big..."

"It's not like the oiran's nude photos were stolen," Du Zijun said sarcastically.

Wen Zheliu pulled out a shelf, placed the luminous pearl on it, and walked directly to the closet to clean it up. They were now one of the famous people in Yangwu. The closet was deep and large, and there were many kinds of clothes in it. The lanterns in Yangya will change colors according to the changes in the solar terms, and their kimonos also have to be matched accordingly. What season, what kind of weather, what kind of clothes to wear, what kind of accessories to match, there are dedicated people who are responsible for taking care of it. Just now the ghost shadow warrior came here During one trip, the clothes in the closet were rummaged out of order.

He turned on a small flashlight and bit it in his mouth, and hung up these heavy and gorgeous kimonos one by one. When he touched the depths, Wen Zheliu suddenly froze.

... He felt a subtle breathing sound in the dark closet.

Wen Zheliu slowly straightened up and took off the flashlight. His other hand had already reached for the dagger at his waist. Shura's bone blade was tempered and forged with the water of the underworld. Any ghost can rot all over as long as he touches it even slightly. , soul shattered.

This dagger was given to him by the Bone Girl, one of the Yangwu Gods. "A child like you cannot defend himself without a good weapon." The sad-looking Bone Girl held his face and said, her eyes filled with concentration. Such sad tears. She came with a vicious murderous intention at first, because the customers who frequented her suddenly changed their minds and chose to throw themselves under the skirt of the latest rising three-season ghost girl. She is a proud god, how could she allow a few small seats? Steal her belongings? So the bone girl came to the room in the lower Yangwu room with the billowing black energy, intending to kill these three ghost girls who dared to overstep their bounds, and then skin them off. However, there was only one person in the room. The young girl looked at her in surprise, her eyes clear and gentle.

"Who are you?" she laughed curiously.

The moment of disaster struck, the bone girl was surrounded by bright spring light, as if what she saw in front of her was not a ferocious female ghost, but just a flower she didn't recognize.

The bone girl staggered back. She didn't answer, but she knew she had failed. Her anger, her unwillingness, her jealousy... What could a moth's anger and jealousy accomplish? The moth is destined to fly into the flames and be shattered to pieces.

She left, and when she came back a second time, she brought the dagger.

"As long as you are a ghost, you will definitely not be able to escape from the river of Huangquan." She handed the dagger to Wen Zheliu's hand, her voice hoarse with tears, "Because we are all dead people who cannot cross the river and cannot return to the earth, so Take it! Whoever dares to hurt you, hurt you for the endless greed of ghosts, you use this knife to pierce his heart, he will definitely die, and there will never be any other way to live! "

Now, he was holding this dagger in his hand. He didn't know when the person hiding in the closet hid here, and how many conversations he heard between players... He just hoped that he wouldn't use it so soon. .

"Come out." Wen Zheliu hissed, "Come out immediately. There is still room for change... You can still save a life."

There was a ripple of shrinking in the depths of the closet, and Wen Zheliu suddenly realized that the person hiding here must be very small, otherwise he would not be buried so tightly, and he could have escaped the search of the ghost shadow warrior.

Could it be... a girl

He frowned and reached out to lift up the top piece of clothing. The flashlight's light was dazzling and merciless. The person let out a cowardly scream and hurriedly covered his face.

Wen Zheliu felt as if he had been struck by thunder in the head, his face instantly turned pale!

"Ning Ning?" He Qin's eyes were bright and he was about to rush over, "What happened?"

"Don't come over!" Wen Zheliu shouted, "Don't come over... No, let's go! Let's go quickly!"

The author has something to say: I forgot to mention it, thank you all for the nutrient solution you gave me at the end of the month (although I don’t know what it was for), and for your comments! Xiaohe bows!
