Summer days are long and nights are short; by the time it's completely dark at night, it's already 7:30.

Yue Jiuling held a cup of kumquat lemonade in one hand and a scallion pancake in the other, taking a bite. Ya Zi, standing next to her, was also holding the same food.

"It's getting dark. I wonder how many ghosts are out visiting relatives and friends this year. If not, we can go to the ghost market."

Yue Jiuling took out her phone, looked at the time on it, and said...

Ya Zi had just finished his drink in no time, then devoured the remaining scallion pancake in his hand, threw the trash in the bin, clapped his hands, and picked up where Yue Jiu Ling left off, asking, "Ghost Market? Is there anything fun to do there?"

Yue Jiuling nodded as she recalled the trinkets she bought at the ghost market last year: "Hmm, not bad. The things there are quite interesting. But if I want to go, I have to wait until I've arranged all my work before I can go."

"Alright, let's get the work done as soon as possible."

Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi work in the East District, which is actually just an ordinary residential area. There aren't many people out there normally, and because it's Ghost Festival today, there are even fewer people outside.

Once they arrived in the East District, Yue Jiuling began taking Ya Zi on patrols, which was one of their duties.

Because of the cooperation of the three realms, there are often ghosts and monsters wandering around outside at night. And since tonight is a festival, there are even more things to do outside.

Just after Yue Jiuling and her companion patrolled two streets, they encountered two demon spirits and three ghosts. However, they were just wandering around and hadn't done anything wrong. So, Yue Jiuling followed the normal procedure and sent them a notification, telling them that it was a festival today and they shouldn't have too much fun, and they must not disturb ordinary humans.

After patrolling two more streets and finding nothing strange, Ya Zi began to inquire about the Yue Jiu Ghost Market.

"I've heard of the ghost market in the ghost realm before, but I've never been there. How many times have you been? Tell me what you can buy there?"

Ya Zi seemed very interested in the Ghost Market, so Yue Jiuling smiled and told him about it: "Actually, there's nothing special about it. It's just an ordinary market, with some things that you can't buy in the human world."

"What kind of things would those be?"

Seeing Ya Zi's curiosity, Yue Jiuling thought for a moment and said, "Emmm, I remember last year, I went into the ghost market for a few minutes and saw an old woman selling *****, and an aunt selling chicken porridge, but the chicken in her porridge was raw. She said that drinking her porridge could strengthen the body and stuff. There was also an old man selling calligraphy and paintings, but there were little ghosts in the calligraphy and paintings. There was also an old man selling coffins and urns, and also selling funeral clothes..."

"Um, are all the things inside that weird?"

After listening to Yue Jiuling's brief introduction, Ya Zi was speechless. He thought there would be some good things in this ghost market, but it turned out to be all strange and weird things.

"Hmm, it's alright, actually. I didn't have much time, so I bought a small coffin pendant inside, but I don't know where I lost it later. Otherwise, I could let you play with it."

Ya Zi was speechless when Yue Jiuling told him that she had also bought a small coffin pendant. He said, "Ugh~ I think it would be better to buy a painting with a little ghost and hire a little ghost as a babysitter than to buy a coffin pendant. The things inside are weird enough."

"Haha~ I actually thought about it back then, but the ghost uncle behind me said that little ghosts can't do any housework and that I should buy a big ghost instead. But I don't like big ghosts, so I didn't buy one. Actually, I heard from Xinyu that the ghost market has changed a lot over the years. In the past, there were still some evil ghosts selling human flesh."

At this point, Ya Zi became even more curious about the Ghost Market. Although the things inside were all very strange, he still wanted to go in and take a look.

Ya Zi said, "Jiu Ling, when can we go to the Ghost Market? Do we have to wait for the Gates of Hell to open?"

"Well, normally we can find the Ghost Market as long as we enter the Ghost Realm, but these two days are different because it's a major festival. So we can only wait until midnight when the Ghost Gate opens and arrange for them to leave our Eastern District before we can enter."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look then."

At 10:12 PM, the two demon souls, Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai, had already floated to the entrance of the Jiang family's villa, but they only stayed at the entrance and did not go in.

Seeing Yue Jiu Nian deep in thought and dawdling, Yue Jiu Zai said, "Hey, have you made up your mind yet? Do you want to go in or not? If you don't, I'm going back."

"Hey~ wait a minute, I'm trying to figure out how to tell Jiang Hu about the cause of death. I'll say it was an accident. Jiu Ling already said that last time, but they don't seem to believe it. They said something like, how could someone as strong as Jiang Nian fall to her death? I need to think of a better reason."

Yue Jiuzai was annoyed by Yue Jiunian's dawdling. She turned and floated away, saying, "I don't care about you anymore. We had plenty of time on the way here, and you still haven't thought it through. I don't know what's going on in your head."

Already annoyed, Yue Jiu Nian was enraged by Yue Jiu Zai's words. She immediately chased after him, ready to punch him: "What the hell? You know this problem is difficult to solve, so why don't you help? You're so annoying! Don't forget, I am you, and you are me. We have the same mindset!"

"Get away from me, I'm not like you!"
