Chapter Sixty-Six: The Black Market(1/2)
"I didn't expect that your corporate culture is doing well in this broken place."
When everyone was in high spirits, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.
Turning his head and looking at Lan Ke was leaning against the door frame, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Sister Lan Ke, why are you here?" Jiang Xiyan said in surprise.
"I asked her to come." Li Xia took the conversation, "I had something to do in the next few days, so I asked her to come and help."
Jiang Xiyan said in confusion: "You have something to do? What's the matter?"
Li Xia paused and said guiltily: "That, I have to go back to deal with the family affairs."
Jiang Xiyan said suspiciously, "If you have something to do, go back. Why bother Sister Lan Ke from here?"
Li Xia laughed dryly.
Are you afraid that you will deduct my salary?
After hesitating for a while, Li Xia evaded: "I think our firm is very busy usually. I'm afraid I'll leave, so you can't do it."
As he said that, he cast a look at Lan Ke asking for help.
Lan Ke instantly understood, "Yes! That's what he said!"
The two of them sang and reconciled, which finally dispelled Jiang Xiyan's suspicion.
Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
But when I caught a glimpse of Qin Churan's eyes, my heart that had just calmed down hung up again.
Meng Jiang Xiyan was okay, but Meng Qin Churan was unlikely.
The moment Lan Ke entered the door, Qin Churan probably guessed that Li Xia was planning to go to the black market alone.
Judging from Qin Churan's expression, it is unrealistic to be alone...
...
The next day.
early morning.
On the yellow pickup truck, Xu Xiao snatched out the cigarette in his hand, turned his head to look at Li Xia, frowned slightly.
"Didn't you say, are you alone?"
Li Xia looked helpless and sighed.
In order to avoid Qin Churan, Li Xia did not hesitate to go out of the waterway.
Who would have thought that Qin Churan would actually predict his prediction?!
The moment when he opened the manhole cover and saw Qin Churan, Li Xia's heart was collapsed.
"This guy squatted me all night..."
As he said that, Li Xia looked at Qin Churan resentfully, "I said Ms. Qin, we are really not that familiar with each other. You don't need to follow me everywhere, right?"
Qin Churan said calmly: "Stop narcissism, I'm just following fun things."
"Isn't the firm fun?!"
"Compared with your case, it's almost interesting."
"When I didn't say it!"
Li Xia turned around angrily, and he was completely helpless.
Xu Xiao raised his eyebrows and spoke slowly: "So, now..."
"drive!"
"Okay!"
As he finished speaking, the yellow pickup truck ran towards the south on the spacious avenue.
After leaving the city, after walking about ten minutes, everyone came to an abandoned subway station entrance.
"Sunshine Road Station." Li Xia whispered the name of the platform.
"This is the entrance." Xu Xiao said while unbuttoning his seat belt.
In front of the station entrance, Li Xia looked around and looked at the lonely pickup truck parked on the side of the road, and asked in confusion: "Why are you so deserted?"
Xu Xiao smiled slightly, pulled his hand deep into the car window, and honked the horn rhythmically.
"Ding--"
As the sound of three long and one short horn ended, a figure appeared in the corridor leading to the underground.
The figure was wearing a black robe and always lowered his head, and his whole face was covered tightly by the protruding brim of the hat.
"His name is Hei Pao, he is the gatekeeper of the Black Market." Xu Xiao explained.
After saying that, he took out a few bills from his arms and handed them respectfully to the man named Hei Rou in front of him.
Hei Rou slowly raised his hand and took the money from Xu Xiao's hand.
When Li Xia saw those hands, her heart trembled.
It is no exaggeration to say that those dry hands are no different from bamboo sticks.
In amazement, the pair of "bamboo sticks" slowly reached in front of him and handed him a transparent glass ball with white light.
After all the three of them took the glass ball, the black robe slowly turned around and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "There are three rules for the black market."
"First, no disturbances should be made."
"Secondly, no private sale is allowed."
“Third, no returns are allowed.”
"If there is any violation, the consequences will be borne by yourself."
As the words fell, the black robe also disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Li Xia looked at the glass ball in her hand, then looked at the unchanged surroundings, and she felt like she was deceived in an instant.
And just then, Li Xia suddenly heard a harsh horn sound.
Xu Xiao had already gotten in the car at some point, and was waving to Li Xia excitedly at this moment.
"Why are you standing there? Get in the car!"
With a lot of confusion in his mind, Li Xia got into the car in a daze.
"Sit down!" Xu Xiao said excitedly.
After talking, a casual drifted in place, aiming the front of the car at the direction of the station entrance.
Then, he kicked the accelerator suddenly.
Li Xia only felt a strong feeling of pushing the back, and the entire body of the car had already appeared in front of the dark subway station entrance.
And there is no other way in front of you except for step by step!
"Damn!"
Out of an instinctive reaction, Li Xia closed her eyes tightly.
However, what awaited him was not the imaginary sense of weightlessness, but a flat road that appeared out of thin air.
The road is still dark, and only yellow street lights illuminate the road ahead.
"Huh~"
Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Xiao, who was standing beside him, looked at Li Xia's reaction and chuckled: "When I first came, I was the same as you."
Li Xia calmed down and said angrily: "Is it necessary? It's so complicated..."
Xu Xiao snorted: "You must know that most of the transactions done on the black market are prohibited. If it were not so complicated, it would have been taken over long ago."
Li Xia nodded when she heard this.
"So, the glass ball given to us by the black robe is the ticket to the black market?"
"Not bad." Xu Xiao explained: "There are actually two spaces in this subway station."
"One is the one we just saw."
"There is another place we are now."
"You can understand it as an external spiritual ruin."
"External Lingxu?" Li Xia asked in confusion.
"Well." Feng Gu continued: "In fact, it is a spiritual weapon, a spiritual weapon created according to the standards of spiritual ruins."
“In this space, you have to follow the rules here.”
"When we entered this space, we were already bound by this layer of constraints."
To be continued...
