I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Chapter 153 Big Brother Likes

"Alright, we've bought the items, let's go."

Lin Yan patted Ajiu's head.

This place is so gloomy; if I stay here too long, my clothes always feel damp. I'll have to take a shower when I get back, and just thinking about it is annoying.

He didn't spend a single penny on this trip to buy fabric, and when he got home, Saya had to praise him for being thrifty.

Although Lin Yan and A Jiu had completely disappeared, the Ghost Market still hadn't returned to its former bustling state.

The spider woman whose threads had been cut by Ajiu was still kneeling among the rubble.

She didn't even bother to clean up the scraps of sheepskin scroll beside her, nor did she think about fixing her spider legs.

She just stared blankly in the direction Lin Yan had left.

Gradually, an indescribable strange expression appeared on her face.

It was exactly the same way Ah Jiu looked at Lin Yan earlier, except she was even more infatuated.

The Spider Woman crawled a couple of steps on the ground with her remaining limbs and body parts, and the sound she made was seven or eight parts similar to A-Jiu's!

"Big brother—I like—"

Not far from the Illusion Weaving Workshop, in front of Meng Po's Tea Stall.

The fat, grotesque guy who had been pushed into the ditch by Lin Yan was still soaking in the sewage and hadn't gotten up.

Based on his usual behavior, he should have already taken his anger out on the other oddballs after Lin Yan left.

But now he is not moving at all, and his intestines have been stepped on by passersby several times without any reaction.

Like the Spider Woman, he kept looking in the direction Lin Yan and the other person had left.

Upon closer inspection, even the fat man's narrow eyes showed a hint of gentleness.

"Next time you try to cut in line, remember to suffer a terrible fate first—"

The fat man muttered strangely to himself, as if savoring some golden words of wisdom, forcing a charming smile onto his greasy face.

"Big brother is right—I like the way big brother talks—"

This bizarre change is not limited to these two strange creatures; it is spreading rapidly like a virus.

I was just watching from the sidelines when Ajiu's gaze swept over the vendors.

A headless man selling clay dolls, a middle-aged man with a fox's head, and an old woman selling half-baked grilled cold noodles—

They all froze at the same moment.

A few seconds later.

All the hundreds of wandering souls in the entire ghost market turned their heads in unison to look at the hidden door at the exit.

Under the lantern light, hundreds of oddly shaped faces simultaneously displayed the same expression.

Hundreds of voices overlapped, some male, some female, some old, some young, but all in the same tone—A-Jiu's tone.

"Big brother—I like—"

"Big brother—protect me—"

A draft blew through the room, and the hidden door was opened.

The enormous City God Ghost Market was filled with people lining up at the entrance to leave.

Lin Yan was completely unaware of this and was currently complaining about the weather.

"This awful weather, it keeps drizzling every now and then. I should have left earlier."

Lin Yan looked at Ajiu: "Aren't you cold? Hurry up and go home, Chu Chu is probably getting impatient."

Ah Jiu, holding the two bolts of fabric, nodded vigorously, a little excited.

Back in the apartment, Lin Yan tossed the ice silk and moonlight silk onto the sofa.

"Chuchu! Time to get out and work."

"This material is really strange; it can't be cut with ordinary scissors. Can you tell me what to do?"

The phone screen lit up, and Chu Chu's pixelated face leaned close to the edge, staring at the fabric for a while before her eyes lit up.

"Wow! Brother, you actually went to rob the City God's Ghost Market!"

"This ice silk is a real gem; it automatically adjusts its size according to the user's body shape and aura, requiring no needles or thread!"

Chu Chu excitedly spun around on the screen.

"Little sister Ajiu, come here quickly! I'll teach you how to make it recognize its owner!!!"

Ajiu walked over and, following Chuchu's instructions, placed her hand on the fabric.

The silken thread flowed along A-Jiu's fingers and transformed in the blink of an eye into a light blue dress that fit her perfectly.

This fabric is really something special; it not only fits perfectly but also makes Ah Jiu's silly appearance seem innocent and naive.

Lin Yan leaned against the refrigerator, having just finished half a can of cola, and nodded in satisfaction.

At least I don't have to see that girl wandering around the house in her white coat anymore; it would be really scary to run into her in the middle of the night.

"Alright, you've changed your clothes. I'll take you out to stretch your muscles tomorrow."

Lin Yan took a swig of cola.

"It's not good to stay at home watching SpongeBob all day. We need to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically."

Ah Jiu tilted her head, not understanding, but she was happy to be with her older brother.

The next afternoon, Lin Yan hastily submitted a fieldwork application and left work.

On the outskirts of Jiangcheng, there is an amusement park that has been abandoned for seven or eight years.

The area was overgrown with weeds, and the roller coaster tracks were covered in rust, giving it a feeling of being deep in the mountains and forests.

Lin Yan was wearing sportswear, with Ajiu beside her.

Old Zhao mentioned on WeChat this morning that there's a bizarre, ghost-like creature causing trouble at the amusement park lately.

The carousel is bizarre, and the reconnaissance agents have already figured it out.

It likes to forcibly sew humans who have strayed into this place, especially those adventure broadcasters, onto those wooden horses and make them ride the carousel with it.

Although it didn't cause a large number of deaths and most of the victims were rescued, leaving it unattended still affects the city's appearance to some extent.

The bureau originally planned to send a new team to practice, but they were pulled over due to an urgent matter on the other side.

Lin Yan took it, intending to use it to test the results of his recent cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Prison Bone Body.

Let's see if it takes one punch to smash it or two.

After passing through a grove of mixed trees, the carousel came into view.

The speaker was broken a long time ago, and the rocking horse was just spinning around by itself, making a creaking sound.

Several wooden horses were ridden by several human-shaped figures.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were sewn onto the horse's back; when they turned, their upper bodies twisted and turned, while their lower bodies remained largely still.

They seemed to be alive, but they couldn't make a sound or resist.

"Ah Jiu, watch carefully."

Lin Yan did not rush forward.

He stood not far away, like a master apprentice pointing ahead.

"To deal with the bizarre, we should learn to observe."

"For example, this thing looks big, but it's really just for show."

"It can be seen that its core rules are all attached to that central axis."

Lin Yan warmed up while explaining.

"To deal with such a big guy, don't try to cut down those wooden horses, it's useless. You have to strike the snake at its vital spot."

Ajiu stood behind him, her hands in front of her, staring intently at Lin Yan.

"Um!"

She softly echoed, a glimmer of light that only she herself could understand flashing in her eyes.

Lin Yan smiled, then suddenly exerted force with his feet, creating a shallow pit in the ground.

Lin Yan moved like a cheetah, covering a distance of more than ten meters in a few leaps, heading straight for the center of the carousel.

The rocking horse seemed to sense the threat and its spinning speed suddenly increased.

Several wooden horses broke free from their chassis and crashed into Lin Yan with a whooshing sound.
