The door was kicked open with a bang.

A large hole was broken in the wood and the door frame was crumbling.

The narrow cave was clearly visible in the firelight. Madam Li sat alone on a few stools, her face filled with astonishment. "Second Master, what are you doing?"

"Why don't you light a lamp when you're here?" The second-in-command was short and fat, with a round face as flat as a pancake and an overbite. "No money to buy lamp oil?"

He approached Madam Li with a playful smile on his face, his saliva almost dripping down his face: "If you have no money, come to me, your brother."

"No, that's not necessary. I feel dizzy and want to rest early."

Madam Li avoided his fat, greasy, and dirty hands. The Second In Commander said coldly:

"Have you seen Yan Hong and Qing Shan? They injured the City Lord. Anyone harboring them is against the City Lord!"

"My place is only as big as a palm. Look, not even a mosquito can hide here."

Madam Li simply stood up and said, "Search for yourself."

The Second Master touched his nose and reached out to touch Lady Li's buttocks:

"I've told you long ago that if you follow me, you'll sleep in the biggest cave. But you're so stubborn. You're a woman, why don't you find a man while you still have some beauty? Who will you rely on when you're old and ugly? How about..."

The guards at the door burst into laughter and were all watching the fun.

Lady Li slapped his hand away: "Show some respect!"

The second in command lost face and was about to force his way in when a man hurried in from the door:

"Second Master, the First Master has sent for you to come quickly!"

"Humph, you shameless bastard!"

The second in command turned away and left.

After the group of people left, the cave inside and outside fell into darkness again.

Madam Li lit the oil lamp and quietly closed the tattered wooden door. After confirming that there were no guards around, she whispered to a painting in the cave covered with spider webs, "You can come out now."

The painting was opened, and the dust on the ground was shaken off. Sang Wan and others crawled out from the hole behind the painting one by one.

"It really is a hidden cave. Did you dig it?"

Sang Wan looked at Madam Li with new respect.

Such a fragile woman actually dug such a long passage behind the painting without realizing it.

"I started digging on the first day I entered the ghost market, and I still haven't dug through the ground."

Madam Li felt very regretful. When she looked up again, the look in her eyes when she looked at Sang Wan was somewhat obscure and unclear.

"If we want to get out, there are so many exits, why do we need to dig a tunnel?" Xiao Shun didn't understand.

"Once you enter the Ghost Market, you'll never see the light of day again." Qingshan cleared his throat. "We signed a life-and-death contract, handing our lives over to the City Lord in exchange for a place to stay."

"I see." Sang Wan felt the same way.

She also once felt the powerlessness of being controlled by fate.

It was a dark and long period of time. She tried her best to break free. Every day, the pain gnawed at her bones and blood, making her like a trapped beast, unable to move forward.

She was digging a path to redemption, but someone handed her a shovel and allowed her to release herself early.

"Come with me." Sang Wan held Madam Li's hand.

Madam Li's whole body was stiff and she could hardly stand.

Exactly the same words, same face, fifteen years ago...

"Madam Li! Madam Li!"

"Why is she fainting?!"

Ghost town, city lord's cave.

A man was half leaning on a tiger-skin couch, his lips pale and his triangular eyes fierce.

"Can't connect? You idiot! Drag him down and chop him up!"

The doctor was shaking like a sieve. "Lord, it's actually broken off at the root, and your dog took it and chewed it. I finally managed to get it out of the dog's mouth, but there's only a tiny bit left, just as big as a fingertip. It's impossible to reattach it!"

"Ah! My life!" The city lord went crazy. "Where is that bitch Yan Hong! Kill her! Cut her into pieces!"

The second in command strode in, and seeing this scene, he drew out his knife and swung it. The doctor's head rolled to the ground, and blood splattered all over the floor.

"Drag it out, you useless thing. Big brother, calm down!"

One of the followers dragged the corpse, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground; another grabbed the head and carried it out, with blood dripping all the way.

In a ghost town, people are worse than ghosts and their lives are worthless.

The firelight in the house was shining, and the followers left at the same time.

The eldest boss had a sinister look on his face, with a few drops of blood splattered on his face, making him look like a demon from hell: "Second brother."

The second in command casually pulled a piece of cloth from the table and wiped it:

"Brother, that bitch Yan Hong has been rescued! Qingshan from the water dungeon has also escaped! This ghost town must have an insider, I'm leading people to search! You can rest assured and recuperate, I'm here to help you."

The eldest boss clenched his hands into fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother."

"It's not hard. Big brother, this is what I should do!"

As he spoke, the second in command chopped the quilt with a knife, but the first in command had seen the world, so he rolled over from the other side, picked up the small table on the couch and threw it over.

"Wang Xiaoer, you want to kill me!"

"Your body is useless! It's time to abdicate! What's the point of living without a penis? I'll give you a ride, and you'll be reborn to live a full life in your next life."

The second-in-command's knife was sharp, and his murderous intent was no longer concealed.

"Someone come! Wang Xiaoer is rebelling! Capture him!" the city lord shouted.

The guard at the door stood there motionless, as if he had been acupunctured.

"You!" The city lord's eyes blazed with anger. "You bribed them a long time ago!"

"Brothers, we've long since stopped obeying you! Not only do you eat meat, but you even stingily grab a mouthful of soup. How can we brothers still be with you? Speaking of which, I have to thank that bitch Yan Hong for giving me such a good opportunity!"

Wang Xiaoer rushed forward and chopped hard, tearing the silk on the city lord's shoulder. The knife marks were glaring and the skin was rolled up.

The big knife was stained with blood, and Wang Xiaoer's eyes were red with anger: "Even if you don't want to die today, you must die."

"Waiter, waiter, if you let me go, we can talk about anything. Take out all my money and share it with my brothers."

The city lord was injured and was defeated in a few moves, so he had to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Okay! Come on, kowtow to me, Grandpa, and listen to me bark like a dog!"

Woof woof...the city lord is extremely cooperative.

"Hahaha, Wang Dana, you have come to this day!"

With a sudden blow of the knife, the city lord's face was cut open, leaving a bloody mark from the corner of his forehead, a bloody mess:

"my eyes!"

Wang Xiaoer's knife kept moving;

The blood never stops; the screams never stop.

Finally, the screams stopped, the blade of the knife was bent, and Wang Xiaoer was tired.

He pulled a piece of the curtain and wiped the blood off his hands. He felt refreshed all over!

"Drag him to the water dungeon and feed him to the crocodiles!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

The guard outside the door knelt down.

Wang Xiaoer laughed heartily: "Reward!"

"Go, drive everyone to the Ghost Market Street and tell them that Yan Hong and Qing Shan killed the city lord, Wang Dana! Anyone who dares to harbor a murderer will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!" There were hurried footsteps and flames shot up into the sky.

Wang Xiaoer walked out of the city lord's cave, put his hands on the wooden railing, and looked down at his feet.

The winding and scattered alleys of the ghost market were filled with people, and a steady stream of people were dragged out of the caves by the guards. The sounds of noise, crying, and cursing filled this dark underground city.

Everyone's masks were torn off, and they raised their confused faces in the firelight, just like when he first entered the ghost market.

But he is no longer the Wang Xiaoer of the past.

"Listen up to me, everyone! I, Wang Xiaoer, am the new master of this ghost town!"
