Chapter 148 Demon Market
The black-haired demon carried Qi Sheng and the unkempt man to a canyon in the wild.
This place is not desolate, but very lively.
Some small stalls were built on both sides of the canyon, selling all kinds of strange things, including carvings of unknown meanings, small figures made of wild grass, freshly slaughtered wild boars, and even broken human torsos.
Most of the stall operators are demons, and a few are humans. The people shopping are both demons and humans.
The man who looked like a homeless man seemed to be gradually finding himself while walking among these stalls. His expression became more and more relaxed, as if he had come to a familiar place.
Although the world seems peaceful, there are actually many demons lurking in the human world.
In order to satisfy their own needs without attracting human attention, they often hold such monster fairs.
Demons disguise themselves as humans and have various occupations. Through the convenience of their occupations, they can often obtain many things that other demons need.
For example, some demons working in funeral parlors or hospitals can easily obtain large amounts of human tissue for consumption by demons with special feeding habits.
The current demon group is more like a parasite hiding in human society, living on the remnants of human society, and occasionally sucking a little blood from human society.
But their ultimate goal is not to be sneaky like this, but to feed humans and open such a market openly in the human world.
"Are there many places like this?" the homeless man asked curiously.
The black-haired demon snorted coldly: "At least it's more than you think."
The homeless man sighed: "That's great. Maybe I did something like this in the past, labeling the same kind and selling them to please the aliens and gain stronger power."
The black-haired demon took a serious look at the homeless man, and now he didn't want to sell this guy.
He was completely different from ordinary humans. Seeing such a scene, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. His indifferent expression with a hint of expectation even made the black-haired demon feel a little scared for a moment.
The market was going on normally, and the black-haired demon used Hongshan currency to buy a lot of human flesh and blood sealed in fresh-keeping bags to serve as his food for the next period of time.
For transactions here, you can barter or use human currency.
A large part of the demons have no chance to return to the demon world after entering the human world, so the demon currency is of little significance to them.
On the contrary, human currency is of great help to them lurking in the human world and obtaining a better life.
The strange power of demons has polluted many humans and caused countless human tragedies.
But at the same time, the human world is actually 'polluting' monsters.
Movies, games, TV series, comics, novels, food, wine, even foot washing services, health care on the street, etc... all have a great attraction for these monsters.
Technological products can make the demon's life more convenient.
In their original world, there was no such enjoyment. Even if there were better ones, only those powerful demons could enjoy them.
So while being cruel and violent, they are also enjoying the achievements of human science and technology, and they are unwilling to return to the world of demons.
Just like people who are accustomed to living in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, they cannot get used to going to rural areas to use dry toilets, lighting fires to cook meals, and carrying water for laundry every day.
It might be okay for a day or two, just for nostalgia or travel, but as time goes by, these demons who have adapted to the human world will not want to go back.
The market lasted for more than an hour, and the homeless people were observing the whole time. This was a rare experience of the demonic ecology.
"It turns out that when demons buy things, they will also bargain. They will be angry if they are cheated. They will be happy if they get a good deal. When they meet friends, they will drink together and reminisce... Like humans, they also have joys, sorrows and joys, but why, they have to deal with
Humans are so cruel, can’t the two races coexist peacefully?”
Time passed little by little, and the homeless man's eyes were extremely complicated. No one knew what he was thinking.
The black-haired demon had a condescending attitude towards him at first, but later he actually felt that this human being was a bit scary and decided to sell him.
Finally, the market has come to an end, and the finale has finally arrived.
A must-have event in every fair...human auction!
Demons will try their best to abduct some humans from the human world who will not get into trouble, and auction them off on such occasions to gain profits.
People who have been forgotten in the human world are very likely to appear in this fair.
The lonely old man who has no one to care about, the boy and girl who ran away from home because of anger, the criminal who is wanted by the police and has nowhere to hide, and even a dead house like Qi Sheng who has almost no human contact...
A stage was set up, and each frightened human being was pushed onto the stage.
There were six people in total, two men and four women.
They were two women who had stumbled and were dressed in sexy and revealing clothes. People in this kind of profession generally would not tell their identities to their colleagues and bosses, and would hide their identities from their friends and relatives. Even if they disappeared, it would not cause too much trouble.
Then there was the serial murderer hiding in his body. This guy was chased by the police and had no way to escape. He thought he would be safe by hiding in the deep mountains and forests, but he ended up running into a monster more terrifying than himself.
There was also an old couple who went on a golden wedding trip but were kidnapped by a demon while taking photos.
The last one is a sixteen-year-old girl who ran away from home after a quarrel with her parents. She thought she could live a good life in the outside world with her own abilities, but unexpectedly she turned into a monster on the first day she went out.
of goods.
"You two, come up too."
The black-haired demon threw Qi Sheng onto the stage and pushed the homeless man onto the stage.
"I'm here to learn from you. I want to be one of you, not just a commodity." The tramp frowned.
The black-haired demon sneered: "A mere human being wants to be on an equal footing with us?"
He had to send the homeless man away. After being in contact with him for such a period of time, he already felt that this man was a little scary to him.
All eight goods were put on the auction stage, and things became heated below, with all the demons bidding actively.
When demons purchase humans, the value is mainly based on two points.
The first is the size of the hidden danger on the goods. The safer the goods, the higher the value. According to this judgment, Qisheng is the most expensive.
The second is that according to the age and appearance of the goods, the more beautiful and younger the human beings are, the more favored they are by demons, such as the girl who ran away from home.
Like the old couple, the demons only made symbolic bids.
