Chapter 2173 White Jade Doll
Now it is midnight, and it is the troubled season, and most of the shops are closed.
But the underworld is the opposite of other worlds, the more lively it is at night.
Ning Xuemo went to the market in the underworld this time.
The underworld is dark all year round, and it rains from time to time. Therefore, the abnormal weather in the six realms has no effect on the people of the underworld.
Even if the weird red rain falls in the underworld, it is just like ordinary rain, and it is not destructive.
Red lanterns are hung high all over the street, and the flow of people is surging like a tide.
With a quick glance, I thought I had arrived at a famous ghost street in the capital.
Ning Xuemo's recent reputation is very ostentatious, and even her appearance has been passed down to the six worlds.
She just wanted to buy a few toys for her son this time, and she didn't want to attract any crowds, so she changed her appearance and turned into a young man in green clothes.
She couldn't change the snowflake-shaped cinnabar mole on her forehead, so she simply turned it into an ordinary circle.
In this way, she wandered around the street twice without attracting anyone's attention.
The toy shop she specializes in, probably because of the dark atmosphere in the underworld all the year round, most of the things sold are colorful and colorful, and the dolls sold are either coquettish or weird, a bit like those dolls that are burned to the dead in the world. A little spooky.
Although his little guy was brave, Ning Xuemo didn't want to buy a ghost doll to keep him company. It's better to look for something that looks sunny.
She went to several famous shops in the underworld, but she couldn't find a suitable one, and she felt a little disappointed.
Maybe the underworld is like this?
It seems that tonight is destined to return empty-handed...
Take some time tomorrow to visit other places.
She didn't buy a suitable toy for her son, but she overheard a piece of gossip.
Recently, the underworld has been relatively peaceful compared to the other five realms, but something unsettling has happened recently, and children are often lost in the city...
It is said that the first to be lost were the street children.
The underworld is relatively poor, so there are many vagrants here, and the disappearance of a few vagrants will not attract people's attention at all.
People just think that there have been fewer homeless children wandering on the streets recently, and they can no longer see them from time to time, but no one cares.
It wasn't until the last few days that children from normal families began to go missing that people noticed it.
The parents who lost their children also reported to the government, and the government sent yamen servants to look for them everywhere, but there was no news. The children disappeared completely, and they couldn't even find a piece of clothing. Up to now, not counting the street children, eight children from normal families have also disappeared.
When Ning Xuemo was wandering on the street, she happened to meet a mother who was looking for her child like crazy, calling the child's baby name, her voice almost changed...
Then Ning Xuemo heard the gossip in the discussion of the crowd.
There are a lot of children in the underworld. When there is nothing to do, a group of children run wildly and play in the street. Generally, their parents don't care. They only come out to look for their children when it is meal time...
But recently, after reports of children often disappearing, the adults no longer dare to let the children run out to play, and even if they have to come out, the adults will follow.
This was the case with the mother who was looking for a child just now. Her child was used to running wild outside. These days, she was so uncomfortable being confined at home, and she had to make a fuss to come out.
