Chapter 95: Small New Year's Eve Shopping Festival
Lin Xi was lying on his bed, with three pillows behind him and his favorite Winnie the Pooh toys beside him. The temperature in the imperial capital suddenly dropped recently, and the haze mixed with ice scum was raging, but three days had passed, and Lin Xi
I never got out of bed.
Thirteen put a bandage on her right hand and told her not to move as much as possible. Although the dislocated joint could be reattached quickly, as an investigator if she didn't take a good rest and continued to move, she would probably get dislocated habitually, and that would be Smecta's fault.
These days, Shisan said that in order to reward Lin Xi for being brave and fearless, he took on the job of taking care of her and preparing meals.
"Miss Lin Xi, your lunch is here." Every day at 8:00 am, 12:00 noon, 18:30 pm, plus the midnight snack time of 10:00 midnight, this call like the wolf grandma will be heard outside the door.
Thirteen will bring the food in with a smile and watch Lin Xi finish it one bite at a time. If she refuses to eat and gets angry, Thirteen will feed her one bite at a time.
Thirteen said that eating can heal quickly. Lin Xi not only dislocated his hand bones, but also injured his internal organs. He must maintain a stable eating recovery. It’s not that Lin Xi doesn’t like eating, nor is he a picky eater, but Thirteen’s craftsmanship...
...Cup noodles soaked in orange honey, meatballs poured with chocolate sauce, spicy hotpot cooked with lollipops, how about some fried rice? It’s fried with condensed milk!
Lin Xi always shed tears after eating the food made by Thirteen. Sometimes she ate while cursing. Lin Xi believed that her blood sugar must have been at an all-time high during this period, but Thirteen could still shamelessly say it was delicious.
Ah, my skills have been on the rise recently.
On the fourth day, Lin Xi finally insisted on getting out of bed. She recovered well, and her desire to live accelerated her recovery. After eating Thirteen's dark food for two more days, Lin Xi believed that she would never stand up again.
"What are you doing today?" Lin Xi put on a standard tight-fitting leather suit, tied her long hair into a high bun, and asked Thirteen.
"Take you to visit Black Eden." Thirteen said with a strange smile.
"What's there to see in that place? I've been there countless times." Although Lin Xi has gotten used to the image of a bearded man selling his own child's urine, he still doesn't have a good impression of that place.
"Today is different, today is New Year's Eve, there is something fun to do!" Thirteen still had a wretched look on his face, but Lin Xi didn't realize it.
Riding an R1 in a road race, Lin Xi took Thirteen to the headquarters of the Underworld Bureau. Riding a bike in the haze was like walking through a sandstorm. Lin Xi's motorcycle skills were obviously better than his driving skills, but he could only hold on.
Speed on.
When they arrived at the place, Thirteen took off the mask on his face, and it looked like it was dug out of the soil. Although the weather was bad and it was New Year's Eve, the popularity of the Underworld Bureau was extremely high. On the 5th floor
The parking lot building was all full, and there were more than a dozen cars parked at the door. Fortunately, Lin Xi and Shisan were riding motorcycles, so it was easy to find a place to park.
The Bureau of Underworld Affairs was the first to respond to the government's call for savings. It has never had reunion dinners or party performances. In addition to the traditional year-end bonus, the New Year's red envelope is only 10 performance points, which is just enough to buy a few pots of boy's urine.
But even so, as the inheritors of the most traditional techniques, the investigators have always maintained good customs and etiquette, which allowed the merchants of Black Eden to discover business opportunities. As the saying goes, Jack Ma created Singles' Day and foreigners created Black Friday. As a time-honored brand
Black Eden also has a New Year’s Eve rush sale event. On this day, Black Eden is a paradise for shoppers and a hell for sellers.
Merchants will launch unprecedented limited-time sales activities, with various accessories available for purchase and free, making shopping investigators crazy. "It's not 9998, it's not 998, you heard it right, it's 8 o'clock, everything is only sold for 8 o'clock,
At 8 o'clock, you can't suffer a loss, you can't be fooled, it's real value for money, real end-of-year clearance..."
Such hawking sounds are as melodious as the DJ's music in a bar. In addition to unprecedented discounts on traditional items, merchants have also built a snack street, a lantern street and other novel temple fair things. It's dark in Eden
Sales will reach unprecedented heights, and they are open 24 hours a day. There are always surprises and gifts. In order to attract people, some merchants will even ask beautiful women to wear very few clothes and feed you with exhibits.
Try it. Especially when you watch beautiful women selling slime worms, you always accidentally get entangled in the tentacles and then become mosaics. It's really exciting.
When they were going down in the elevator, the elevator was like an office building during rush hour. It was so full that Shi San and Lin Xi were squeezed into the corner. Shi San held on with both hands.
The walls on both sides resisted a group of guys squeezing into the elevator. This group of weirdos kept silent, but they used hard qigong and various exercises to squeeze into the elevator, leaving various dents on the steel plates around the elevator.
, so the elevators after the New Year’s Eve basically need to be replaced with new ones...
"Thank you." Lin Xi found that since he defeated the werewolf, Shi San's attitude towards him has improved a lot, and now he knows how to take care of himself. Listening to the gurgling sound of Shi San's support on the wall, Lin Xi felt the back of his arms.
What a powerful force was squeezing his back.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Shisan replied with a smile.
"By the way, can you put your stuff away? You're offending me..." Just as he was speaking, Lin Xi felt like he was being punched, and when he glanced down, the veins on his forehead were suddenly exposed.
"Sorry, it's a normal reaction, I'm just trying to get my energy." Thirteen squinted at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.
Finally, we arrived at the underground tunnel. The elevator opened and released a new wave of people, heading towards Black Eden. The people here were not only investigators from the Imperial Capital, but also many people from other places, with accents and dialects from all over the world.
Lin Xi was a little surprised. In order to attend a small annual meeting, these guys actually traveled thousands of miles to come to the imperial capital during the Chinese New Year. You know, even if there is a holiday, they would probably choose to go home for a New Year's Eve dinner at this time, right?
Just as Lin Xi was following the crowd forward, Shisan suddenly cuffed his left hand with a plush handcuff.
"What do you want to do?" Lin Xi was surprised.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Black Eden's Little New Year's Eve Shopping Festival is very scary. I don't want you to be trampled to death where I can't see it." Thirteen smiled and cuffed the other hand.
On his own wrist, the handcuffs are very comfortable. The inner ring is made of rubber and wrapped with white coral velvet. They look very cute. However, it is a bit embarrassing to go shopping like this. There are always investigators staring at them, and Lin Xi is embarrassed.
Sorry.
But when he stepped into the gate of Black Eden Market, Lin Xi suddenly understood why he had to do this. This market, which used to be very lively, is now like boiling water. The market is crowded with people, like a flower-viewing path in Fragrant Mountain.
Just as scary.
Some people were even so crowded that they were unable to jump above the shops. What's more, a large number of pulled silk threads appeared above the market. Those with good dexterity skills were those who walked on these threads and walked through the air passages in the venue. Travel through.
This is a three-dimensional temple fair with upper, middle and lower dimensions. Every shop is packed with people. Even Jing Xiaoxiao’s pawn shop is doing very well. You will know how lively it is.
"Are these people crazy? Do you want to buy things for free? Why are there so many people!" Since coming in, Lin Xi was frightened by the surging crowd. He pressed against the wall and did not dare to take a step forward. The people in front of him looked like farmers grabbing Spring Festival train tickets. Work is just as scary.
"It's not that we don't need money, but the events to be held next consume a lot of props, and things are cheap, so we just let them go." Thirteen also stood against the wall.
"What kind of activity? 'Mass death'?" Lin Xi felt that in today's scene, a few people would be trampled to death.
"You are naughty again. This is the 'Annual Skills Training' of the Underworld Bureau. It is only held once a year. In short, it is to gather a group of funny people to make fun of each other for a group of funny people to watch. The winner can get the funny award, so it is very It makes Doubi, who is consciously horny, rush to tease Doubi for Doubi to see." Thirteen finished the above conversation very smoothly.
"Is there anyone more funny than you?" Lin Xi covered her mouth and smiled.
"The Underworld Bureau is bigger than you think, and there are many people who are funnier than me. But in the past, I also felt that I was a **** and participated in three sessions. Later, I was disgusted and never went to play again. ." Thirteen looked like he didn't want to remember. He looked up at the crowd and patted the wall behind him. "Let's go, I'll take you a shortcut!"
Thirteen grabbed Lin Xi's hand, turned over and jumped up on the wall, reaching a height of 5 meters in an instant. There was a small metal hook between Thirteen and Lin Xi's handcuffs, which hooked the silk thread in mid-air.
This thread is made of special alloy steel wire, which has extremely strong load-bearing capacity. Lin Xi saw many fat people weighing more than 0 kilograms flying in front of them.
"Are you afraid?" Shisan put his arm around Lin Xi's waist and asked.
"Afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid that when I beat you to death, I will be covered in blood, will you starve to death if you take less than a few bites of my tofu? Take your hand off my butt!" Lin Xi said with blue veins on her eyebrows.
"I'm afraid of you, let's go!" Thirteen's hand moved up a little, returned to his waist, and he pushed Lin Xi forward with one foot on the wall.
Chapter completed!
