Chapter 100: The Evil Ghost Hiding in Yoshiwara Flower Street

Yoshiwara is a very famous Hualiu Street in the history of the island country. It has been an official red light district since the 17th century, and it lasted until the 20th century. After the law prohibiting prostitution was passed, it gradually changed into a tourist attraction.

In the Taisho era, in this era where the past and the future intersect, Yoshiwara Flower Street was at its most prosperous time. There were several streets and alleys in the whole Flower Street, and there were countless small streets and alleys, and there were nearly a hundred brothels in total .

Of course, the flow of people here is also very large, not only prostitutes and servants belonging to various brothels, but also people coming and going, a large number of clients who come to prostitute, making the entire Yoshiwara Flower Street show that it is not inferior to the prosperity of big cities.

The men here seem to wear gorgeous dresses in order not to lose face, and the women wear revealing clothes in order to compete for customers. The streets and buildings are full of the smell of rouge and gouache, making this a place where all kinds of teachings and nine schools gather.

There is only one main entrance facing the northwest in the entire Yoshiwara Flower Street, which is made of steel, and it gives people a serious closed feeling just by looking at it.

Carrying the suitcase and the piano case, Liu Xia walked into the flower street from the main entrance of the building.

The smell of rouge, the sound of laughter, the sound of soliciting customers, and the sound of flattery suddenly came like drizzle, making people feel the prosperity and vulgarity here in an instant.

Although Liu Xia was short and immature in appearance, there was no one around who cast strange glances at him.

There are many children in the flower street, most of them are servants who clean the house and serve the prostitutes in various brothels. Their status is low and they are easily beaten and scolded by dissatisfied prostitutes and customers. Most of them are very young girls and a few are boys. .

Liu Xia strolled in it, and she didn't look too conspicuous.

Only a small number of passers-by cast strange glances at him because of the Ghost Slayer Squad uniform he was wearing, especially the big character 'Mie' on the back of the uniform, which was very eye-catching.

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

"The breath of the ghost is very hazy."

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

Ordinary ghosts don't restrain their own aura, which allows many swordsmen of the ghost killing team to quickly find and kill them, but if it is a relatively powerful ghost, it already has the ability to hide its own aura.

Although it is impossible to completely cover up the strange aura of ghosts, even members of the ghost killing team who are very sensitive to the aura of ghosts can hardly find it. direction and distance.

This kind of feeling is like a peerless beauty standing in front of her, but her whole body is covered with tulle. Although it makes people feel itchy, it is still impossible to see her true face.

"In other words, there is a high possibility that there are powerful evil spirits here, maybe they are ghosts that are listed in the Twelve Ghost Moons."

Liu Xia raised her brows slightly, and looked at the endless pedestrians around her, "But in this way, it will take more effort to find out the other party."

"The information from the Ghost Killing Squad says that the beauties who have repeatedly disappeared in the flower street are the beauties of various brothels and courtesans. Maybe I can start from this aspect."

Lucia glanced at the sky.

It was still daytime and the sun was high in the sky. Even the Twelve Ghost Moons would not be able to come out now. He should investigate the information first.

However, there are at least dozens of brothels on this Flower Street. It may take a lot of time to find each one. Before that, maybe you can find some well-informed people to inquire about the information and narrow the scope of the investigation.

Liu Xia is a professional killer and is very proficient in investigating intelligence. In less than a moment, his investigation process was on the right track.

…………

Night is coming soon.

Lanterns of various colors were hung under the eaves of the corridor, street lamps were shining on the road, the sound of shamisen playing came from many brothels, and many prostitutes who had been sleeping during the day stepped onto the street. On the street, there were even strange noises from quite a few brothels, making the entire flower street burst with 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 "street that never sleeps", and it can only glow with real vitality at night.

Lucia sat on the roof of a certain building, her eyes turned on the future vision, and at the same time, she observed various movements within a kilometer radius with her powerful eyesight.

"This flower street is indeed suitable for evil spirits to hide. There are too many men and women who only appear at night, and it is easy to confuse the public."

Liu Xia thought silently, "According to the information we investigated during the day, most of the oirans and prostitutes who disappeared in the past were considered to have 'fleeed', and the prostitutes who 'fleeed' spread all over the Huajie area. It is impossible to delineate the stronghold of evil spirits."

The so-called "escape" refers to the fact that some prostitutes can't bear to show off their coquettishness and smile every day in the brothel, just to beg the customers to smile, so they decide to escape from the flower street.

These women who became prostitutes were originally sold here voluntarily or forcedly because their families were heavily in debt, or their family members were seriously ill. Everyone was burdened with huge debts.

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

However, because the main entrance here is only the one in the northwest, there are very few people who can really escape from here. Most of the prostitutes can only work here for a lifetime, and only a few are lucky enough to meet a good man. They redeem themselves and leave here.

And according to the information Liu Xia collected during the day, these days, the prostitutes who were identified as 'run away' were almost all over the entire Huajie, not surrounding any area, and did not have the slightest regional characteristics.

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

No matter which ability she has, it's not a good thing for Liu Xia.

"If you can't delineate the area, then you can only make a big noise and let the other party come to me."

As for how to make the other party actively find him, it may be surprisingly simple for Liu Xia.

"Boom!"

Not long after, a flare exploded in the sky above Huajie, and the day-like light quickly spread out, covering an area with a radius of hundreds of meters.

The appearance of the flare caused a commotion among the crowd below, causing everyone on the street to look at each other, not knowing why.

Liu Xia waited on the roof for a while, and soon, a dark figure quietly touched behind him.
