  Chapter 102 The evil spirit hidden in the Yoshihara Flower Street   Yoshihara is a very famous Hana willow in the history of the island nation Street, which has been an official red light district since the 17th century, lasted until the 20th century. After the passage of the law prohibiting prostitution, it was gradually changed into a tourist attraction.

In the Taisho era, in this era when the past and the future crossed, the Yoshiwara Flower Street was at its most prosperous. There were several streets and alleys in the entire Flower Street, and there were countless small streets and all the brothels combined. Number of hundreds.

as it should be by rights, the flow of people here is also very large, not only the prostitutes and servants who belong to various brothels, but also people coming, people going, a large number of clients who come to whoring, let the whole Yoshihara Flower Street demonstrates the prosperity of the big city at all.

The men here seem to wear gorgeous dresses in order not to lose face, and women wear revealing clothes in order to compete for customers. The street buildings are full of rouge and gouache, making this a gathering of Three Sects. The place.

There is only one main entrance facing Northwest in the entire Yoshihara Flower Street, which is made of steel, and it just looks like a serious closure.

Carrying a suitcase and a piano case, Lucia walked into the flower street from the main entrance of this building.

The smell of rouge, laughter, wooing, and flattering sounds suddenly like a drizzle, slapping, making people feel the prosperity and vulgarity here in an instant.

Although Lucia is short in stature and looks a little immature, no one around him cast a strange look at him.

There is no shortage of children in Huajie. Most of them are servants who clean houses and serve prostitutes in various brothels. They are of low status and are easily beaten and scolded by dissatisfied prostitutes and guests. Most of them are very young. Of the girls, a few are boys.

Lucia walks in it, and it does not appear too conspicuous.

There are only a small number of passers-by, because the ghost killing team uniform on him, especially the big "Mie" on the back of the uniform, is very eye-catching, and they cast strange glances at him.

But these people are more inclined to make friends with the beauties in the brothel than to care about the strange dress of a passing child, and they will not take the initiative to communicate with him.

"The breath of ghosts is very hazy."

Lucia walked on the road of Flower Street, silently feeling the strange atmosphere in the air.

Ordinary ghosts will not constrain their aura. This allows many ghost killing teams Swordsman to quickly find each other and kill them, but if they are relatively powerful ghosts, they already have it. The ability to hide one's own breath.

Although it cannot completely cover up the alien aura of ghosts, even members of the ghost killing team who are very sensitive to ghosts can find it difficult to find them. They can only dimly feel that something is wrong. , Unable to distinguish the direction and distance from the breath.

This kind of feeling is like a peerless beauty standing in front of her, but her whole body is covered with tulle, which makes people feel itchy, but still unable to get a glimpse of her true nature.

"In other words, the probability of a powerful evil spirit is very high, maybe it is a ghost among the twelve ghost moons."

Lucia raised her brows slightly and looked up. There are endless pedestrians around like the tide, "But in this way, if you want to find the other party, it will inevitably spend more time."

"The information of the ghost killing team said that Huajiezhi Those who have disappeared many times are the oiran-level beauties of various brothels. Maybe I can start from this aspect."

Lucia glanced at the sky.

It's still daytime, and the sun is high in the sky. Even the twelve ghosts and moons are impossible. Now that he comes out, he should investigate the intelligence first.

It’s just that there are dozens of brothels on this flower street. It’s really going to take a lot of time to find them. Maybe you can find some well-informed people to find out before that. Intelligence, narrow the scope of investigation.

Lucia is a professional killer. He is very proficient in investigating intelligence. Within a moment, his investigation process is on the right track.

…………

The night is coming soon.

Immediately above the flower street, lanterns and colors were set up, lanterns of various colors were hung under the eaves of the gallery, street lights were shining in the road, and the sound of shamisen was heard from many brothels. The prostitutes in Mian took to the streets one after another, and even strange noises were heard in many brothels, which made the whole flower street burst into vitality far beyond the daytime.

Yoshiwara Flower Street is the first red-light district in the island country, and it also has the reputation of'Night Street'. It can only be full of vitality at night.

Lucia sits on the roof of a certain building, her eyes open to the future, and at the same time she observes various movements within a kilometer with her powerful eyesight.

"This flower street is really suitable for evil spirits to hide. There are too many men and women who only appear at night. It is easy to confuse the audience."

Lucia thought silently, "According to According to the intelligence surveyed during the day, most of the oirans and prostitutes who disappeared in the past are considered to have fled, and the fled prostitutes are all over the Huajie area, and it is impossible to delineate the stronghold of evil spirits from the geographical scope."

The so-called'fleeing', of course, refers to the humble life of some prostitutes who are unbearable to be coquettish in the brothel every day, forced to laugh, just to beg customers to laugh, and thus decide to escape from the flower street .

These women who became prostitutes were originally sold here voluntarily or forcedly because of debts in their families, or serious illnesses in their families. Everyone is carrying a huge amount of money. Debt.

Not all of them are willing to live a life of selling themselves to make smiles. Naturally, there will be prostitutes who'escape' from here every month.

But because the main entrance here is only Northwest, there are actually very few people who can escape from here. Most of the prostitutes can only stay here for a lifetime, and there are only a few good luck people. , Can meet a beloved to redeem for them, and then leave here.

And the intelligence collected by Lucia during the day shows that these days, the prostitutes who are deemed to be'fleeing' are almost all over the entire flower street, not which area around, and does not have the slightest regional characteristics.

This shows that the ghosts hidden here either have strong mobility or strong concealment ability, and can run back and forth in various streets.

No matter which ability you have, it is not a good thing for Lucia.

"If you can't delimit the area, you can only make a big move and let the other party find me proactively."

As for how to get the other party to find themselves, For Lucia, it may be surprisingly simple.

"bang!"

After a while, a flare exploded over the flower street, like the rays of light of the day, spreading out quickly, covering the radius of several The area of ​​hundred meters.

The appearance of the flares caused a tumult among the crowd below, causing everyone on the street to look at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why.

Lucia was at the High Level of the roof for a while, and soon, a dark figure quietly touched behind him.

Thank you for the rewards of Fei Ling, Xiyi Zhili, _ Mo Ming, and Feng Qifan Yang! Ask for a recommendation ticket!
