Hearing Thunder Wolf's order, everyone was in disbelief. For a moment, they were stunned and did not move. Right here? Are you sure? It was better to sleep on the streets than to stay in such a hotel. It didn't cost money! Looking at the window with a few big holes and the roof with a few broken tiles, the cricket bee looked helplessly at Brahman Snake who was walking in front. Brahman Snake didn't care about the reaction of the people behind him. He turned around and took a step forward, pushing open the wooden door.
The moment the wooden door was opened, everyone standing in front of the inn felt a gust of cold wind. The first floor of the inn was not lit, and the door seemed to have become a black hole, unscrupulously swallowing the light that wanted to enter. Brahman Snake didn't care about these things. He walked straight in and disappeared into the darkness.
"Let's go." Thunder Wolf looked at the people behind him and followed him in. Although he didn't know much about this guy called Brahman Snake, from his observation, this guy was rational and trustworthy. He must have his reasons for doing this. The others looked at each other and had no choice but to follow behind. The second they entered the door, Thunder Wolf felt a strange electric current sweep through his entire body, making him tremble. He heard the sound of the Brahman Snake going up the stairs, so he followed them. They soon found the stairs and went up to the second floor step by step. The others followed closely behind.
When they arrived at the second floor of the inn, Brahman Snake opened another wooden door in the darkness. The light suddenly came, and the people who had just gotten used to the darkness could not help but reach out their hands to block the light. When they recovered their senses and looked around, what they saw was beyond their expectations. The second floor of this inn led to a ghost market that was connected to the second floor of other houses. Here, the lights were bright, and the noise of people bargaining added to the lively atmosphere.
" It's a black stone. No wonder…" Yin Yu looked at the black crystal floating in the air and said in realization. Darkstone was a type of strange ore that could absorb the light around the crystal to achieve the purpose of not being noticed by others. Usually, assassins would carry this kind of thing when they went out to hide their tracks. Yin Yu slowly looked at the waist of Cricket Bee and Brahman Snake. They each wore such an item.
"Not only that." Hearing Yin Yu's sigh, Fan She touched the wall of the inn behind them and explained,""The building materials used to construct the ghost market are all mixed with sound-absorbing stones, so there won't be any noise.”
"What an interesting idea." The Horned Dolphin looked at the bustling scene in front of him and could not help but sigh. The Nether Tortoise was also a little surprised. It was his first time coming to such a place.
"This is against the laws of the empire.”Thunder Wolf said solemnly. He had always been impartial in enforcing the law. Facing such a scene, he inadvertently felt a trace of displeasure.
Thunder Wolf's words attracted the attention of a few people passing by, but they only took a quick glance and left.
"So please keep it a secret, Lord Knight.”Fan She tilted his head and glanced at Thunder Wolf, then started to walk along the edge of the corridor. They were not here to visit the ghost market. There were ghosts in the ghost market, so naturally, there were places where ghosts lived. Thunder Wolf frowned but did not say anything else.
Under the lead of Fan She, they came to a simple shop. Fan She seemed to have some other feelings about this place. His cold eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible heat when he saw the plaque on the shop in front of him. The plaque was written in a twisted font with the words "Reverse Mirror".
The people following behind Brahman Snake looked suspicious. From the words on the plaque, they had no idea what kind of shop this was. Even the door was closed. If they didn't see the few lights inside, they would have thought that it had been closed long ago. However, Brahman Snake didn't care about this and pushed the door open.
Pushing open the door and entering the shop, it gave people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. There were only four lamps hanging in the air on the counter, but they lit up the whole room appropriately. Inside, rows of antique bookshelves were placed on both sides of the door. In the empty space in the middle, there was a counter. A frail little boy wearing a long, wide-sleeved shirt was sitting by the counter. He looked up calmly at the intruders. In his right hand was a book with a bronze cover called " Origin Time." Thunder Wolf frowned. Why did Brahman Snake bring them to this place that looked like a library?
"Sorry to disturb you." Brahman Snake said calmly, but his eyes flashed with a strange light.
"I think you should come too." The boy said slowly. He jumped down from the chair and placed the book in his hand on the counter.
"…Comrade." For some reason, Fan She paused for a moment. His expression changed slightly as he slowly spat out these two words.
"..." The cricket saw the change in Brahman Snake's expression and felt that something was wrong. Meanwhile, Yin Yu noticed that the boy was touching the hand that was wearing the black stone on his waist, and her expression darkened.
The boy didn't say anything else. He picked up a lantern from the counter and blew into it. A small flame magically lit up inside the lantern. The boy raised his feet and walked in front, leading the group through the counter.
"You guys go first. I have to ask him something later. Tomorrow's mission won't be easy to complete.”Fan She said slowly with a gloomy face, then slowly turned around and closed the door.
A trace of anger flashed across the cricket bee's face, but he still suppressed it. He looked at Brahman Snake with slight regret and followed the boy.
The boy quietly went upstairs and slowly closed the wooden board that led to the second floor. "Are you alright?" The boy closed the wooden board and asked in detail.
The boy looked at the miserable appearance of the Brahman Snake and sighed. "Follow me." The boy said earnestly and then walked away from the counter with Brahman Snake.
The moment they left, the book that the boy had placed on the counter suddenly flipped its pages. The book flipped page by page and finally stopped at page 22. There was an obvious tear on the edge of the twenty-second page. It was obvious that someone had forcefully torn off a page. However, what was shocking was that the 22nd page was completely blank! As time passed and the room remained silent, under the faint yellow light, the page began to slowly appear with handwritten words…
