This is the fourth day since Tianyang returned to the fortress.

In the evening, he arrived in front of Lai Zi's grocery store in Xiacheng District. The colorful lights flashing on the street dyed Lai Zi's shop into colorful patches.

There were only two customers left in the store, and Tianyang was not in a hurry, sitting by the door and waiting.

This morning, he had reported to the Nightcrawler headquarters. During his participation in the competition, the Raven Team had already carried out a mission to the reverse world.

But it seems like it's just a small task. And recently, there shouldn't be any new tasks assigned.

The team building is still the same, everyone basically does their own thing. Tianyang was taken to the training ground by Jiyu to fight. I heard that Cangdu had brought Qingdai back, and Lao Xu came to visit the team from time to time, and soon, the team would add another person.

new member.

Just as he was thinking about his own business, Tianyang suddenly received a light kick. The young man looked up and saw that it was the lame man. He had already sent away the last customer and sat down on the chair next to him a little tiredly: "Go, help me open the shop."

It’s closed. I’m exhausted. There’s something to eat in the kitchen at the back. If you haven’t eaten yet, go and heat it up and eat together.”

Tianyang happily agreed, and after closing the shop, he went to Cripple's kitchen. It was unimaginable that Cripple's shop was messy, but the kitchen was unexpectedly neat.

I took out the ingredients, heated them, and then the lame man and I had a simple dinner.

After the cripple finished eating, he took out a bottle of wine and looked at the young man: "Want a drink?"

Tianyang had to go to Gray Market in the evening, so he was not sensitive to the things in the cup: "No, you can drink."

The lame man poured himself a glass and muttered: "When I was young, I was just like you, almost abstaining from alcohol. But now, without these things, I can no longer sleep."

Tianyang said sincerely: "It's better to have less alcohol."

The lame man glanced at him: "Fortunately, I don't have a son, otherwise I would be bored to death."

Who are you scolding...

The lame man drank a glass of wine, then bent down, took out a bag under the chair, and threw it to Tianyang: "Put on the things inside, take off all the items on your body that may reveal your identity, and put them away temporarily.

Let me do this."

Tianyang opened the bag and took a look. Inside was a dark cloak, which was enough to cover his whole body. There was also a white fox mask, which could completely cover his face.

Is this... to conceal your identity?

He put on the cloak and mask as instructed by the lame man, and gave the red moon sword that he brought for self-defense to the lame man for safekeeping. But in fact, the young man still had Hei Ting, the purple ring in his hand, and the ash magic crystal.

He strung it into a necklace and wore it around his neck. Only the shadow skull was too visible and he didn't take it out.

Even so, there are enough four relics on the young man. Even outside the reverse world, the power of the relics will be somewhat reduced. But if he uses his full strength, Tianyang is not afraid of level 4 sublimates, and even level 5 can touch them.

One touch.

Presumably, there are no big shots at level 5 in the gray market. It is possible to meet them at level 4.

In any case, with his current combat power, even if he can't defeat him, he can still escape.

"What's next?" the masked boy asked.

The lame man put away his sword and pointed at his throat: "It's best to change your voice appropriately, oh, by the way. Put this into your shoes."

He took out two height-increasing insoles from a table and threw them away.

Tianyang put the cushions into his shoes and put them on again. He had already raised his voice a lot. If he changed his voice slightly, it would be difficult to recognize him even if he met an acquaintance.

The young man thought that the lame man's method of increasing his height was a good one. When he needed to appear as Mr. Death in the future, he would put some padding in his shoes to reduce the chance of being discovered.

"Wait a minute, the black snake is coming soon. Remember, don't reveal your identity in the market, and don't ask about other people's identities. The only function of the market is to buy and sell. Don't do other unnecessary things.

"The lame man warned again.

Tianyang nodded and said, "I remember."

At this time, the sound of a bell rang outside the door. The cripple opened the door, and the one-eyed dragon caressed the lame man's shoulder: "Old man, look what I brought you."

He took out a bottle of wine and said, "This should be enough for you to drink for a while."

Then he looked at Tianyang: "Is this the guest you mentioned?"

The lame man nodded, and the black snake took out a credit card machine: "Then guest, I would like to receive two thousand contribution points."

Tianyang took out a card, not an identity card, but an anonymous account card that he specially applied for yesterday. He had already deposited 2,000 points in the card in advance to pay for the night's toll and to collect money at the market.

.

He swiped the card and confirmed that the contribution points had arrived. Black Snake put away the card machine and tilted his head: "Follow me. Don't ask anything on the way. Just nod when you understand."

Tianyang nodded honestly, and Black Snake walked out of the grocery store with his hands in his pockets and his head slightly shrunk.

The young man followed, walking on the bustling street, following the black snake around, and finally came to the door of a warehouse.

There were two men sitting in front of the warehouse door. They had sinister faces and a stern look on their bodies. They looked like the villains that could be seen everywhere in the lower city, but these two men were actually sublimated people.

Although it is only level 2.

The young man thought to himself that it was indeed a gray market, even the gatekeepers were sublime ones.

After Black Snake muttered something to the two gatekeepers, one of the gatekeepers took out a round badge with a portrait of an old man engraved on it. He didn't know who it was.

Black Snake came back with the badge and handed it to Tianyang: "Put it on, you can use this thing to enter and leave the market in the future. Hey, two thousand contribution points are not for nothing."

Tianyang put it on and nodded gently.

Black Snake said nothing more and led Tianyang into the warehouse. The warehouse was filled with a peculiar smell, which was like alcohol, sweat and other smells mixed together, making people very uncomfortable.

Under the dim light, rows of shelves were filled with various things. Blood even oozed from the edges of some of the bags, and it was unclear what was inside.

After passing the warehouse and coming out of a small door, the various lights immediately dazzled Tianyang's eyes. After the boy got used to the light in front of him, he realized that he was already in a lively market.

In this open space, stalls are set up everywhere, and the shops have their goods outside the door. People are coming and going, and the lights are brightly lit, making it very lively.

Walking through the market, Tianyang found that most of the people coming and going here were like him, wearing cloaks and masks. Only the merchants and shop assistants showed their true colors.

There are no guards here, but the people coming and going, and even the operators of the stalls and shops, everyone has a fierce aura and is full of hostility. There is a smile on the face, but the eyes are cold, as if they will fall out at any time.

Here, people are bargaining everywhere, and when it comes to excitement, they even start to fight. But a small conflict like this will end quickly. But the process is very fierce, both sides of the conflict are both dead and injured, and then someone pours several pieces of water on the ground.

A bucket of water was used to wash away the blood, and it was done. Tianyang was stunned to see it.

This place is obviously a lawless place. It is hard to imagine that the fortress would allow such a place to exist.

"Follow me closely."

Ahead, Black Snake stepped up his pace.

Tianyang followed silently, and from time to time passers-by would look over and cast malicious glances from the masks of different styles.

This kind of look is not unfamiliar to Tianyang, it is just like the look that the black people will show when they are looking at the fat prey. It's just that the eyes of the black people are more direct, and here, these people are at least somewhat concealed.

"If you want to buy equipment, then I recommend you to visit this store." Black Snake stopped and pointed to an inconspicuous small store in front.

The shop is just like its literal meaning, it is very small. The small door can only accommodate one person. But the strange thing is that there are so many customers in the shop that there is even a long queue outside the door.

.

Black Snake shrugged: "The owner of this restaurant is very reputable, but there are too many customers. Basically, you have to queue up whenever you come."

After a while, Black Snake led him to another stall. When he saw pieces of star crystals the size of thumbs placed on the stall for sale, he was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth.

"If you want to get some star crystals or other media materials, you have to come to Lao Luo."

Black Snake whistled toward the stall, and a sickly, pale middle-aged man who looked like he might collapse at any moment looked up.

With gloomy eyes, he nodded towards the black snake and then lowered his head.

Black Snake chuckled and said: "He is Lao Luo. Just look for his stinky face. Come on, I will take you around again."

Cyclops took Tianyang for a short tour of the market and introduced several shops and stalls.

"That's basically the ones I know and have good reputations." Black Snake shrugged and said, "You can go around on your own, I'll leave first."

Tianyang stopped him and said, "It seems that none of the people you introduced just now are recycling materials and weapons."

"Material weapons?" Black Snake gasped, "Brother, where do you come from? You want to sell material weapons."

Then he waved his hands: "I'm just asking, don't tell me, I don't want to know who you are. Materials and weapons are not ordinary commodities. These things have a great background, and not just any store dares to accept them.

As far as I know, there are only three companies in the market that dare to accept weapons made of raw materials."

"Which three?"

The black snake pointed on his finger: "Shadows, Red Chimneys and Hungry Dances."

The names are all weird...

Tianyang asked again: "Which one is more reputable?"

Black Snake laughed: "In the market, the so-called reputation is relative. The fist is the only guarantee, do you understand what I mean?"

Tianyang nodded simply: "I understand."

Black Snake waved his hand: "Then I'm leaving, you can figure it out yourself."

Tianyang quickly asked: "You haven't told me where these three families are?"

Black Snake said without looking back: "No need to ask, just raise your head and look around, you will understand."
