Chapter Sixty-Six: The Black Market(1/2)

"I didn't expect that this crappy place like yours has a pretty good corporate culture."

When everyone was in high spirits, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

Turning around and looking, Lan Ke was leaning against the door frame with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Sister Lanke, why are you here?" Jiang Xiyan asked in surprise.

"I asked her to come." Li Xia took over, "I have something to do in the next few days, so I asked her to come over and help."

Jiang Xiyan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? What's the matter?"

Li Xia paused and said with a guilty conscience: "Well, I have to go back and deal with the family matters."

Jiang Xiyan said suspiciously, "If you have anything to do, go back. Why do you bother Sister Lan Ke to come over?"

Li Xia laughed twice.

Aren't I afraid that you will deduct my salary?

After hesitating for a long time, Li Xia prevaricated: "I see that our office is usually quite busy. I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle it if I leave."

As he said that, he looked at Lan Ke for help.

Lan Ke understood instantly, "Yes! That's what he said!"

The two sang together, finally dispelling Jiang Xiyan's suspicion.

Li Xia let out a long sigh of relief.

But when he caught a glimpse of Qin Churan's eyes, his heart that had just sunk suddenly rose again.

Those words just now were acceptable to Jiang Xiyan, but not likely to Qin Churan.

The moment Lan Ke walked in, Qin Churan probably guessed that Li Xia was going to the black market alone.

Judging from Qin Churan's expression, it is not realistic to be alone...



The next day.

early morning.

On the yellow pickup truck, Xu Xiao put out the cigarette in his hand, turned to look at Li Xia, and frowned slightly.

"Didn't you say you were alone?"

Li Xia looked helpless and sighed.

In order to avoid Qin Churan, Li Xia did not hesitate to go out through the sewer.

Who would have thought that Qin Churan would predict his prediction?!

The moment he opened the manhole cover and saw Qin Churan, Li Xia's heart collapsed.

"This guy squatted on me all night..."

After saying that, Li Xia looked at Qin Churan resentfully, "Ms. Qin, we are really not that familiar. You don't need to follow me everywhere, right?"

Qin Churan said calmly: "Don't be narcissistic, I'm just following fun things."

“Isn’t the office fun?!”

"Compared with this matter of yours, it's almost meaningless."

"forget it!"

Li Xia turned around angrily, he was completely at his wits end.

Xu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "So, now..."

"drive!"

"okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow pickup truck sped towards the south on the spacious road.

After leaving the city and walking for about ten minutes, everyone came to an abandoned subway station.

"Sunshine Road Station." Li Xia whispered the name of the station.

"This is the entrance." Xu Xiao said as he unbuckled 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, wondering: "Why is it so deserted?"

Xu Xiao smiled slightly, put his hand deep into the car window, and pressed the horn rhythmically.

"Beep——"

As the three long and one short trumpet sounds ended, a figure loomed in the corridor leading to the underground.

The figure was wearing a black robe, his head always lowered, and his entire face was completely covered by the protruding brim of his hat.

"His name is Heipao, and he is the gatekeeper of the black market." Xu Xiao explained.

After that, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to the man in black robe with great respect.

The black robe slowly raised his hand and took the banknote from Xu Xiao's hand.

When Li Xia saw those hands, his heart trembled.

It is no exaggeration to say that those dry hands are no different from bamboo sticks.

Li Xia was surprised when the pair of "bamboo sticks" slowly stretched out in front of him and handed him a transparent glass ball glowing with white light.

After all three people received the glass ball, the black robe slowly turned around and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "There are three rules in the black market."

"First, you must not pick quarrels or cause trouble."

"Secondly, you are not allowed to sell goods privately."

"Third, no returns are allowed."

"If you violate it, you will be responsible for the consequences."

As the words fell, the figure in black robe disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Li Xia looked at the glass ball in his hand, and then at the unchanged surroundings, feeling instantly deceived.

At this moment, Li Xia suddenly heard a harsh trumpet sound.

Xu Xiao had already gotten into the car at some point and was waving to Li Xia excitedly.

"What are you doing standing still? Get in the car!"

With his mind full of doubts, Li Xia got into the car in a daze.

"Sit tight!" Xu Xiao said excitedly.

After finishing speaking, he made a graceful drift in place and pointed the front of the car in the direction of the station entrance.

Then, he stepped on the accelerator sharply.

Li Xia only felt a strong push on his back, and the entire car appeared in front of the dark subway station entrance.

But in front of us, there is no other way except stairs one by one!

"Fuck!"

Out of instinctive reaction, Li Xia closed her eyes tightly.

However, what awaited him was not the imaginary feeling of weightlessness, but a flat road that appeared out of thin air.

It was still dark on both sides of the road, with only the yellow street lights illuminating the way forward.

"Huh~"

Li Xia let out a long sigh of relief.

Xu Xiao on the side looked at Li Xia's reaction and chuckled: "When I first came here, I was just like you."

Li Xia calmed down and said angrily: "Is it necessary? It's so complicated..."

Xu Xiao snorted softly and said: "You have to know that most of the transactions on the black market are prohibited. If it were not so complicated, I would have been arrested long ago."

Li Xia nodded after hearing this.

"So, the glass ball that the black robe gave us is the ticket to the black market?"

"That's right." Xu Xiao explained: "There are actually two spaces in this subway station."

"One is the one we just saw."

"There is another one, which is where we are now."

"You can think of it as an external spiritual ruin."

"External spiritual ruins?" Li Xia asked doubtfully.

"Well." Feng Gu continued: "Actually, it is a spiritual weapon, a spiritual weapon made according to the standards of Lingxu."

"In this space, you must abide by the rules here."

"When we entered this space, we were already bound by this layer."
