Chapter 48: Follow the clues(1/2)
Xu Kuan was originally a little worried about this matter. After all, if he wanted to survive in Shanghai, his relationship with foreigners was also crucial.
After all, the national power is too weak at this time, and the big powers are looking around, and the overall environment is not good. Even if you take advantage in a small area, the general situation cannot withstand other people's background. Unless Xiaodao will never make a living in Shanghai, then he will definitely have to
Paying a huge price.
After hearing the words of Fire Cloud Evil God, Xu Kuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he definitely knew that this man must have a follow-up, so he said:
"I still need to ask Master Huo to tell me the specific details."
Fire Cloud Evil God was also informal and lay down on the dirty floor in the corridor, lazily saying:
"No, I think this place is quite comfortable to live in. The ghost guy wants to build a bedroom for me here."
Then he reached out and knocked on the wall:
"This place needs to be dug out. I have prepared toilets, beds, tables, stools and other daily necessities. I will ensure that they have two or three hours of cleaning time every day."
Xu Kuan immediately beamed with joy after hearing this. The price of the faith cross made by Tigris can be said to be extremely expensive, and the cost of use is quite high. The people in the church who occupy this place are also particularly troubled by this.
Obviously, the purification time mentioned by Fire Cloud Evil God is his two or three hours of practice time. During this time, people from the church can come and collect scarlet yarn at will, saving a lot of operating costs.
As for building a room for Fire Cloud Evil God, that is even easier.
If we negotiate with these two conditions, the church will definitely put past the past and make huge concessions.
The goat heard this condition and said curiously:
"What's so good about this place? That it would be chosen by such a big shot?"
Crespo looked around and said:
"I have worked in the construction industry, so I probably know some exploration techniques. Therefore, the room chosen by Fire Cloud Evil God is a bit special. If I am not wrong in my inference, other
After hearing this, the goat took a breath and said:
"To put it this way, Fire Cloud Evil God is really cruel to me. Is he planning to put himself in an illusion at any time?"
Crespo said:
"That's not the case. The church will still rebuild the abnormal human research center. When it starts to operate, Huoyun Evil God usually has a whole building of people to help him share the burden, and there is also an alchemical circle to weaken the illusion.
, so the hallucinations he usually receives are just like that."
"Strictly speaking, only those two or three hours a day require self-resistance. Since Fire Cloud Evil God usually lives here, of course he has to train his resistance to illusions."
When everyone heard this, they felt that what he said was very reasonable. Then Fang Linyan thought about it and said goodbye to his 1803-unit Biskar data stream, Ah Huang Yiyi, and left it here to fight with the big toad.
companion.
He also had his own plans in mind. If he wanted to come back to find Fire Cloud Evil God, it would be too explicit and direct. On the contrary, if he said that he wanted to find the old dog Ah Huang he had saved, wouldn't it be much more logical?
?
At the same time, Fang Linyan also felt that although Ah Huang had helped him a lot, there was no way it could be compared with the 1803 unit Biskar data stream. As far as its current role was concerned, to be honest, it was only worth 100 Bisca units.
What about card data flow?
The goat looked closely at the "Scarlet Veil" for a while and realized that it should be closer to a creature called "Tai Sui".
After some inquiries, he confirmed that the "Source of Origin" that the West wanted actually required cutting the white layer on the surface of the "Scarlet Veil", which was about one centimeter thick.
After each cut, it will take four or five days for the scarlet yarn to return to its original shape.
In addition, this thing can also be extracted from withered or aged Scarlet Veil.
During this cutting process, the scarlet veil will feel pain, so it will release a large amount of strange energy that causes illusions. The purpose of building a lunatic asylum is to absorb this strange energy to ensure the safety of the cutter.
***
Next, a group of people returned to Shencheng, planning to create trouble based on clues.
Before leaving, Fang Linyan and the others also visited the injured of the Little Sword Society, so everyone got an iron sign, indicating that they would be allies of the Little Sword Society from now on.
If someone wants to ask someone from the Xiao Dao Guild to kill them, then the people from the Xiao Dao Gui will not accept the order - unless they give too much.
If they want to hire someone from the Xiao Dao Society to kill someone, they can get a 20% discount.
At this time, according to the principles formulated by Fang Linyan and Oumi, they acted extremely low-key. Even if someone with a Honkai Impact walked by in front of them, they would never make a move and resolutely not make trouble.
But this time they don't need the Bone Dragon. Ding Li can provide banknotes, and Fang Linyan and the others have made connections with the Little Sword Society - a friendship that allows them to fight side by side and save people in danger.
This kind of friendship intertwined with blood is definitely stronger than the friendship formed at the dinner table. If you can still get money according to the rules in the market, it will definitely be an extremely strong friendship.
Soon, they arrived at No. 16, Sanzhu Alley. This place had the typical style of lower-middle-class residents in Shanghai at this time. Everything was simple and practical. As for the environment, sanitation and other things, it was necessary.
Give in to the above two.
Even Fang Linyan and the others had to be careful not to step on the chicken feces + mud mixture under their feet when they walked in.
Xie Jiang was in his room, looking like he was still busy with something.
With the help of the Little Sword Society, Fang Linyan and the others have obtained information about Xie Jiang. He is a minister of a medium-sized pawnshop, and he has some shares in it.
Frankly speaking, this person's reputation is not very good and he has three nicknames.
The first one is called Xie Papi.
The second one is called Iron Rooster.
The third one is even more vicious, called Baiqieji, which has a local meaning similar to the curse of being hit by a car when going out.
At that time, public security in Shanghai was very poor. Some businessmen were robbed and killed while walking at night. Not only were their goods robbed, but their clothes and pants were also stripped off, and their bodies were thrown into the pond. When the bodies floated, their skin was swollen and pale.
Like plain-cut chicken left in the pot to be cooked
Looking at these three nicknames, you can probably know what kind of person Xie Jiang is.
Therefore, when Xie Jiang saw Fang Linyan and others filing into his private residence, he was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hands nonchalantly and said:
"My master is in a bad mood today. Do you want to get out right away, or will I call someone to get you out of here with your limbs broken off later?"
Fang Linyan raised his eyebrows. To deal with such a person, he must first suffer.
So two minutes later, Xie Jiang's crying and shouting voice rang out in the room, without any of the arrogance before. This didn't even cause him to lose his hands or feet, but only broke one of his little fingers.
It can be seen that there is a saying that is not true at all, that is, people who are cruel to others are very gentle to themselves.
"We were asked to come to you."
The goat squatted gently in front of Xie Jiang who was knocked to the ground and said.
Of course, Fang Linyan and others were standing nearby with their arms folded, looking over coldly, acting as thugs who said "What are you looking at?" "I'm crazy" and other lines.
Xie Jiang's eyes flashed and he nodded.
Seeing that he was still a little lucky, Goat took out a small knife from his arms and slapped it on the table.
Knives are very common, but when the end of the knife is tied with a piece of red silk and the word "loyalty" is written on the red silk, it becomes not at all common.
Because this is the token of the Little Knife Club!
Among the gangs here in Shanghai, the number of members of the Little Knife Club is not even among the top ten, but they can still make a steady living here because they are strong enough to stick together and be ruthless.
There is also a gang behind Xie Jiang, because there is no one behind him who is not good at doing business such as pawn shops, casinos, etc., so what he hesitates is actually waiting for reinforcements.
But after the goat took out the token of the Little Knife Society, Xie Jiang suddenly became desperate, because he knew very well the virtues of the gang behind his family, and it was absolutely impossible for them to start a war with the Little Knife Society just for a small role like him.
That is the most notorious gang in Shanghai!
The gang behind him may be able to deceive and kidnap, but he doesn't even dare to rob. If it weren't for the fact that he was a person from the French Concession Patrol Room, he would probably be embarrassed if he tried to argue with him.
Xiao Dao will dare to confront foreigners head-on.
After thinking about these things, Xie Jiang suddenly became intimidated and immediately came up with tricks to pretend to be pitiful, such as shouting that he had an 80-year-old mother and an 18-year-old wife.
Of course, the goat smiled and didn't say much. He patiently watched his performance. When he got tired and ran out of lines, he said:
"Very good. Since you have repentance, then whether you live or die depends on your performance."
"In fact, we have learned a lot about you. For example, you slept with Widow Xie three times without giving you any money. Another example is that you secretly withheld the money from the counter and deposited it with Lao Ye of the gambling shop, and you even made an appointment.
Two cents profit”
"So, if you talk nonsense for half a sentence, use one finger, for one sentence use two fingers, and for three sentences use one hand!"
After Xie Jiang heard this, he knew that he had met a dragon crossing the river, so he could only nod his head in pain and said:
"Yes Yes Yes."
Goat said:
"Very good, then let me remind you that we are here for painting."
As soon as the keyword painting was mentioned, Xie Jiang immediately felt as if he had seen a ghost. His expression immediately became unnatural, and his eyes couldn't help but glance down. But who were the people present? The vulture chopped it up with a dagger.
Go down!!
Xie Jiang immediately screamed miserably, and all his little thoughts disappeared in the severe pain.
Then, an incredible story came out of Xie Jiang's mouth.
The story of a male actor named Tan Chuan and a man named Zhu Shang.
Tan Chuan originally played the role of Huadan, but he also did some part-time jobs, ahem, to put it simply, he asked others to spend money to do some perianal care work for him, and by the way, he treated constipation.
