Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 227: Ghost Market Exploration

Xuanwu always wanted to go home and take a look, but found that it was nothing special.

But at least this can be considered as fulfilling one of her wishes, right?

It wouldn't take long now, just around noon. They still had plenty of time to get home, but unfortunately...

Xuanwu twisted her body, trying to accelerate forward with maximum horsepower. But to her amusement, no matter how much she stepped on the gas, the Beetle didn't move at all.

"Why is this happening?"

Yi Yin was puzzled. Logically speaking, this red Beetle had accompanied Selena and everyone through many battles, so how could it suddenly break down at this time?

But the fact is that the Beetle is like a deflated ball and can no longer move.

Xuanwu was so angry that her teeth were itching. She kicked the bottom of the beetle, which only caused a low whine.

Looking at Xuanwu's bold decompression posture, Yiyin felt a little sweaty.

After losing her memory, Xuanwu looked no different from before, but in some ways, she was completely different from before. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for Xuanwu.

Could it be that the seal of indifference was about to fail on Xuanwu? Considering that Suzaku had previously cooked a slightly salty chicken soup, Yiyin even considered whether the flaws in the four goddesses were loosening.

But now is not the time to go into details. Yiyin understands that if he does not take action to stop Xuanwu now, the beetle will definitely be dismembered by Xuanwu.

And once that time comes, given Selina's personality, she will inevitably cut herself into small pieces and feed them to the water elves.

Thinking of this, Yi Yin could no longer sit still. He hurriedly shouted:

"Senior Xuanwu, wait a minute! There's no need to dirty your old jade feet. Let me taste them."

As he spoke, before Xuanwu could cause more damage, Yiyin took the lead in investigating the beetle.

Could it be that it was going too fast and overloaded, causing it to explode, or was it because it was tired of Xuanwu?

Yi Yin was investigating carefully when he suddenly felt something strange. His hands unexpectedly grasped the steering wheel uncontrollably!

"Please remember, Beetles also have noble souls."

It seems that the beetle has spoken?

Before Yiyin could react, he had already stepped on the accelerator and started moving at full speed.

Xuanwu was obviously also shocked.

"(I've only heard that every soul is unique, with its own virtues and flaws. But I've never heard that the same is true for beetles.)"

After thinking for a moment, Xuanwu came to this conclusion:

"(Since the beetle has life, can I make it obey my words and spirits?)"

Xuanwu has beautiful ideas, but reality is often not as good as one wishes.

"Compared to this, I'm more worried about this being a sneak attack by the enemy!"

Yi Yin said painfully, "Just like Baihu-senpai's King of Beasts can temporarily give life to objects, the enemy monsters hiding in the dark are probably of the same type as the 'Six Divine Symbols'."

No matter how much Yiyin and Xuanwu analyzed it, it was too late, because the Beetle's anger was beyond their ability to eliminate.

They could only passively accept it all and let the Beetle take them wherever it wanted to go.

.

I don’t know how much time has passed, and the concept of time has become extremely confusing.

Yiyin was extremely nervous, fearing that he would be thrown off by the beetle by accident and would never be able to get up again.

The surrounding scenery gradually became bizarre. Everything was so strange and disturbing, like a black hole hidden in the fog, which was impossible to guard against.

"Crunch...Crackle..."

The beetle finally couldn't move anymore. It had died, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Yiyin and Xuanwu looked at each other, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, they got off the Beetle and prepared to explore the situation nearby.

Did he encounter a mysterious wall? Yi Yin didn't remember this being one of the seven mysteries of the base.

Suddenly, Xuanwu widened her eyes, and an indescribable fear surged in her heart.

"(This place looks so familiar, as if I've been here before... Ah, I remember now, this place... is the ghost market!)"

"Ghost market?"

Yi Yin muttered in his heart, "Is that what I thought..."

Xuanwu seemed to be searching for information about the Ghost Market in her mind. After a moment, she said to Yiyin confidently:

"(Yes. The Ghost Market is the number one underground black market on the Liufang Continent. All the goods circulating here are of unknown origin. But it's undeniable that they are all extremely valuable. Ordinary people simply can't get here! Even more terrifying is that newbies can easily be tricked by experienced traders and lose everything, or even their lives...)"

Yi Yin swallowed his saliva. He didn't understand how he ended up in the ghost market.

Could it be that, like the last time in the Black Forest, I had accidentally entered some folded space?

No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Yiyin and Xuanwu have arrived at the Ghost Market.

In fact, there is a subtle difference between the ghost market in this world and the ghost market that Yiyin understands.

Admittedly, the ghost market in this world also has some basic rules, such as never asking about the origin of the goods, etc., but the ghost market in this world appears to be more "ghostly".

The definition of "goods" is quite broad, which makes it intriguing. Monster fruits, human organs, erotic transactions, dangerous weapons, high-ranking officials and generous salaries...anything seems to fall under the definition of "goods."

In the ghost market, no one cares about the content and source of the transaction, they only care about whether there are enough Luke. In the ghost market, as long as there are enough ghost markets, you can even own the whole world.

No one knows when the ghost market was first established and what kind of development it has gone through to become what it is today.

The branches underground are intertwined, forming a harmonious situation where you are in me and I am in you.

Although the Monster Master Management Association had long been aware of this, they had always turned a blind eye to it.

Uprooting a tree already rotting from the bottom isn't easy. Furthermore, since the ghost market hasn't caused any significant conflict with the outside world, why bother meddling in it? It's better to control than to block. In a situation like the ghost market, at least it can be monitored under our noses, preventing any riots.

For years, the ghost market has maintained a delicate balance with the outside world. While a few bodies occasionally appear on the streets, it's not a major problem. And there are always unlucky souls with unrealistic dreams of getting rich.

But no one wants to be one of the unlucky ones, and Yiyin is no exception.
