Rebellious Contract Beast

"Yang Bayuan."

"Miss, I'm here."

"How many bookshops do you know here?"

"Bookstore...what do you think, Miss?"

"Yeah." He Jian Chuyun nodded slightly and said Shen Yi's suggestion.

As expected, Yang Bayuan frowned after hearing this and hesitated: "Miss, although I'm not sure whether the disappearance of those people was man-made, but if it was man-made, they would never leave any traces. I have no other intentions... …I’m actually very heartbroken that the child Caijuan is missing, but Miss, isn’t it a bit unworthy of you to look for her like this?”

"..." After hearing this, Tsurumi Chuyun was suddenly startled, and after a long time he faintly replied: "Maybe..."

Sensing the change in the other party's mood, Yang Bayuan quickly said with concern: "Miss..."

"fine."

She waved her hand and walked towards the other end of the street. Yang Bayuan said nothing and followed silently behind her.

If it were Tsurumi Chuyun in the past, she might not bother to find an unrelated person. But after the Tsurumi mansion was destroyed and she and Shen Yi fled here, she had changed a lot.

Of course, she is not a living Bodhisattva who can be saved by everyone. She doesn't know exactly how. Maybe she just doesn't like the feeling of being helpless when her loved ones are in danger, or maybe Qian Caijuan is really lovable... …

"By the way, don't be idle. Expand the search area. As long as there is a slight possibility, don't let it go."

“What about the winery?”

"The winery has put it aside in advance and let the workers go out to find people. I will pay the wages."

Yang Bayuan wanted to persuade him. After all, the money he spent was almost like throwing away in vain, but he moved his mouth, and then gave up for unknown reasons. He sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, Miss."

……

After that, Tsurumi Chuyun and Yang Bayuan were not idle. Instead, they searched or looked for traces of Qian Caijuan on the streets with the workers. The reward was that just after lunch, some workers found the names of other missing people. Relatives, one of the relatives of the missing said that he had seen disciples of the Tiger Gang kidnapping people on the street.

"It's the Tiger Gang again..." Shen Yi said while thinking in He Jian Chuyun's consciousness space.

The Tiger Gang is a very powerful gang organization in Jiangzhou City. It is common for them to oppress the people openly. They just kidnap someone on the street, which is what they are capable of.

It's just that those missing people all disappeared inexplicably, which seemed a bit inconsistent with the actions of the Tiger Gang, so everyone didn't take it too seriously and continued to search for other useful clues, or to collect papers that could be used in the winery. They also hired a painter to depict Qian Caijuan's appearance, but there were not many people in the winery who could write and read, so Tsurumi Chuyun was not idle and could only write the contents of the reward order with Yang Bayuan.

Of course, it would be slow to draw and write the reward order one by one with both hands. Movable type printing has long been available in this world, and if you want to use this technology, you need to find an engraver to make Qian Caijuan. The master copy of the portrait, etc. all require money. Tsurumi Hatsuun doesn't have that much money now, so he can only temporarily make some reward orders by hand and post them outside so that more people can see them.

Time passed by and came to night. Shen Yi was walking around boredly outside the door. When he saw Yang Bayuan coming out, he got into the room without saying a word and said to Tsurumi Chuyun who was in a daze in front of the desk: "Old witch, are you going to the ghost market or not?"

"Huh? What time is it now?"

"How do I know?" Looking at the sky, Shen Yi remembered that it had been a long time since it got dark.

"Okay." Feeling that it was not a problem to wait like this, Tsurumi Chuyun put down his sleeves, stood up from the futon, and walked out with Shen Yi.

Futian was already waiting with a carriage outside the winery. She did not go over immediately, but said to a few doorkeepers not far away: "You guys, keep an eye on Master Qian. Don't let him do stupid things. Listen. Have you arrived?"

"Miss, we will take good care of him, don't worry!"

The workers patted their chests and signed their guarantees. Hejian Chuyun felt relieved after seeing this, and signaled Shen Yi to enter the conscious space before getting on the carriage and said to Futian: "Let's go to Xinfei Sixth Street."

"Okay...Miss, it's getting late. What are you doing at Xinfei Sixth Street?"

"Don't ask any questions, just drive your car."

"Oh!" Hearing the coldness in Tsurumi Chuyun's words, Futian quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak anymore, and concentrated on driving the carriage.

At this time, many people in Jiangzhou City have turned off their lights and gone to bed. It is difficult to see pedestrians on the streets. Occasionally, there will be drunken men staggering along the roadside, muttering something in their mouths.

As the carriage moved forward, the lanterns hanging on both sides flickered, making the night in the distance particularly dark.

Half an hour later, He Jianchuyun seemed to feel something. He opened the curtain and stuck his head out of the car window to take a look. He didn't know what time it was, but the surroundings were shrouded in mist. On the streets that were supposed to be deserted at night, there was something strange. There were many more pedestrians walking along the street in an orderly manner. Under the cover of the fog, they looked like lonely ghosts wandering the world, which made people feel a bit chilly.

There are still several carriages driving on the road ahead. At the end of the road is a stone bridge. The stone bridge is wide and long. The thousands of houses on the opposite side are brightly lit. Compared with this side, it seems like the world between Yin and Yang.

Futian, who was driving, said "Huh" and said in a confused and trembling tone: "What's going on? It's so late and it's still very lively over there. It's a holiday... No, today, there doesn't seem to be any holiday today? Miss, what are we doing?"

Tsurumi Chuyun in the carriage did not reply, but silently retracted his head. The carriage driver Futian didn't know what was going on over there, but she knew very well what was going on.

The brightly lit area opposite the stone bridge was the Xinfei Sixth Street mentioned by the storekeeper. After learning about the location of the ghost market, she asked Zhuhong to take her there the next day, and she was very interested in Xinfei Sixth Street. Feiliu Street got acquainted with it briefly.
.
"Drive!" The hands holding the riding whip tightened. The coachman Futian felt that the surroundings were extremely scary. Fortunately, the luxurious carriages driving in front gave him a sense of security, which prevented him from losing his sense of proportion. Steer the carriage steadily.

But not long after walking, he found that the carriage in front of him spontaneously pulled over and stopped. The door opened and some people got out. But these people were very strange. They were either dressed in black or white, with masks on their faces. There is nothing strange at first glance, but given the surrounding environment, it makes people feel extremely scary.

"Miss, the carriages in front have stopped, should we stop too?"

"..."

"Miss?"

"..."

"Miss?"

"..."

Futian remained calm and asked Tsurumi Chuyun, but he shouted several times without getting a reply from the other party. He began to panic in his heart. He saw that Chuyun didn't say anything and didn't give any orders. He suddenly lost his direction. Under the herd effect, he made his own decision and imitated the carriage in front and pulled over.

"Miss, are you here? Say something."

"..."

Tsurumi Chuyun still didn't respond.

He became increasingly uneasy and jumped out of the carriage. However, when he opened the door, he saw that there was no one in the carriage and it was completely empty.

"Miss, where have you been? Don't, don't scare me!" Futian almost cried. He looked left and right but still couldn't find where Tsurumi Chuyun was.
Some suspected that his eyes were dazzled and he didn't see anyone. He stretched out his hand and touched the inside of the carriage. No one touched it, but he caught something on the seat. He took it out and saw that it was a bag of copper coins. There seemed to be a lot of them. There was a piece of paper tied to the purse. I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully. There was a beautiful little word written on it.

Futian didn't know many words, but he still barely recognized it.

[You go back, you don’t have to wait for anyone. 】

"Miss..." He looked around and saw when the other party got off the carriage. He had no idea at all.

Looking into the distance, there is only a bridge across. The other shore is shining like sparkling jewels under the night sky, with thousands of lights and thousands of lights, and there is singing and dancing.

He had probably guessed that his young lady had already blended in with the crowd. Out of curiosity, he also walked towards the stone bridge, but when he got closer, he discovered that the three characters "Ghost Gate" were clearly written on the gate of the stone bridge.

……

"Hey, there are a lot of people."

In the consciousness space, Shen Yi looked at the outside scene through Tsurumi Chuyun's perspective and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Xinfeiliu Street at night looks extremely prosperous under the light of lights. This can be seen from a distance. Various shops line the streets on both sides. The dazzling array of goods makes people look dazzled by fireworks. The surroundings are undulating. Lanterns were swaying on the pavilion, and the breeze blew, and a faint smell of fireworks drifted away.

Just like Tsurumi Hatsuun, the people walking on the street all wore ferocious ghost masks on their faces. They walked together in twos and threes, making the streets look very crowded.

I don’t know why, but the vendors and store clerks on both sides didn’t wear masks, and their faces were openly exposed. It didn’t feel like a ghost market, but more like an ordinary night market.

At this time, Tsurumi Chuyun was wearing white clothes, and her swollen breasts had long been tightly wrapped in a tube top, looking like a teenager.

It was estimated that it was already around 3:00 to 4:00 pm, and it was still some time before the ghost market started. She was not in a hurry, and temporarily forgot about the things during the day, and wandered around the street happily without buying anything.

Speaking of which, Xinfei Sixth Street is actually the same as Shangtang Town. It also refers to a certain area in Jiangzhou Capital City. However, compared to Shangtang Town, Xinfei Sixth Street is smaller in area, but when you really wander around, it gives people the same feeling. She was not young anymore, and she didn't know how many shops she saw along the way. It should be said that the things sold here were flashier than those outside, but for Tsurumi Hatsun, there was really nothing that she could like.

Ignoring Shen Yi's complaints, she walked out of a shop selling clothes and walked further away. Passing by a street corner, several young people wearing masks gathered around to play mahjong. The clicking sound made her The night was full of life, and nobles in luxurious clothes hurried past, attracting many people's attention like shooting stars streaking across the sky.

Shopkeepers, women in lewd clothes, and people of all kinds performing arts on the streets gathered here.

"It's so lively."

Shen Yi roared. This was another reason why he wanted to turn into a human form. Such a bustling street scene was a bit more strange and mysterious because of the masks on people's faces. It was very similar to Tsui Hark's animated work "Xiao Qian". He somewhat liked the specious, half-awake and dreaming atmosphere in the domain.

If possible, he would rather put on a mask and blend in as a wanderer, rather than being a contracted beast that could only stay in the old witch's mind.

But having said that, he and the old witch have also seen ghost markets in many places. Except for Huaiying City and some small towns, in other large cities, ghost markets are open in space spiritual weapons. You can come in, but you have to wait until after the fifth watch to go out.

"After all, this is the famous capital of Jiangzhou, but a ghost market is opened in such a place, huh?"

"Why do you care so much? It's not like you can't sell things."

"That's what I say, but we have also seen ghost markets in many places. In addition to Huaiying City, there are other Jua City, Beiting City, and Gyeongju City. Which of these city-states has a ghost market in Lingzhou? Inside the weapon? Jiangzhou City is so big, but there is no spiritual weapon in it, it’s really priceless.”

"Who knows, maybe it's not as simple as you think."

While chatting with Shen Yi, He didn't know what he saw when he saw Chuyun. He blushed and turned around and walked back.

Unknowingly, we came to Fengyue Street. The buildings in front were colorful, and there were countless prostitutes in thin clothes, with flowers blooming and singing.

"Don't go, go back and take a look. I've never been to a brothel before, and I don't know what it's like inside..."

"I do not!"

"You have a boy's body now. Although it's fake, you look the same! What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not going anyway!"

Seeing Chuyun's refusal, He speeded up and quickly moved away from this place. In the space of his consciousness, Shen Yi secretly said it was a pity and did not force it.

She seemed to have finished shopping on Xinfei Sixth Street. After that, like other ghost market customers, she found a stall and sat down, ordered a bowl of hot ramen and chatted with Shen Yi while eating, waiting for time to pass. .

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. She sat at the table in a daze for a while, then suddenly came back to her senses and raised her head, looking into the distance. The pretty face behind the mask couldn't help but frown.

Perhaps it was because the night was so dark that she couldn't even see the buildings outside Xinfei Sixth Street.

She didn't know exactly when it was now, but she was sure that it was already midnight, but nothing changed around her. Although there were fewer masked ghost market customers on the street, there were still many, and they came in As usual, he was wandering around the street with nothing to do.

"The time hasn't come yet?" When she realized it, she realized that she hadn't spoken to Shen Yi for a while, so she asked him in her mind, and soon the other person's voice sounded faintly in her mind.

"Old witch, why don't you take a look at the stall owner?"

"What's wrong?" She looked at the stall owner as Shen Yi said, and she was stunned at the sight.
