As night falls, they witness an extraordinary ghost market emerging, with numerous silent vendors setting up stalls along a long street. Lantern-carrying individuals move methodically, seemingly guiding unseen ghosts. The market is surreal - over 100 stalls operate in complete silence, with merchants selling ghosts and buyers wearing disguises or dressed in vintage clothing. The narrator, experiencing this mysterious scene for the first time, is both fascinated and unsettled by the otherworldly atmosphere of the ghost market.
