This Yequan Hotel, like any other building, has a huge basement. These basements usually store some vegetables, meat, eggs, even snacks and other food, as well as many daily necessities such as sheets and quilts. After all, the top dozen or so floors are for accommodation.
And in the many places where quilt covers are stored, if you remove them, you will find an iron plate with handles embedded on it. Pulling the handle open, you will find a staircase leading to the next floor. This is the core of the entire hotel, where the shady transactions are located.
The second underground floor is entirely made of cement, with a solid middle. This is a loop-shaped corridor. The lights in the corridor were very dim and sometimes flickered, creating an eerie atmosphere. In fact, this place is indeed eerie, and countless lives have been lost here.
In the circular corridor, only two sides have rooms with lights on. The other two corridors are just intersections going up and down. This black area is also divided into two halves. The half near the front door is where human traffickers gather, responsible for selling living people and performing organ transplant operations.
Don't underestimate this dim environment. The organ transplant room on the ground floor is not only spacious, clean, hygienic and tidy. The brightness of the light is also very high. The brightness of the shadowless lamp is very high, which is incompatible with the dim corridor. As for the medical equipment, it is even better than the hospitals in that city. The surgeon they hired was better than that of the hospital. When it comes to surgery alone, I'm afraid this underworld is really better than a hospital.
This is also related to the reality. It is very normal for a person to die these days. A replacement organ may not last long before it wears off. Therefore, people who are seriously ill in this era, especially the elderly, are more likely to be given up the closer they are to the periphery. And those who need organ replacement are naturally those rich people who are not short of money.
As mentioned before, by replacing the organs of a superpower, you can become an E-level superpower and improve your immunity. Since you are not short of money, why not change it to a better one? But regular hospitals don't provide these, and the bodies of superpowers are sent directly to the research institute. Therefore, these surgeons were gradually cut off and many of them lost their jobs.
At this time, the underworld told them that there was money to be made, and the underworld promised that they would never extend their hands to their relatives and protect the safety of their relatives as much as possible. Now, they are employed again, and they are making a lot of money, attracting more people to learn organ replacement surgery.
And the reason why we talked so much is because Lin Jingfeng is coming here next. However, due to his special status, Lin Jingfeng was dragged by the group of people to verify his identity. Therefore, we focus on the half near the back door, where middlemen make the difference. Ye Ning and the others' identities did not need to be verified, and they quickly arrived in the basement.
The four of them followed the security guard closely and walked in the dark and damp underground second floor. From a dark and distant corner, a slight cry could be heard coming from nowhere, meandering and blackened in the air. The outline of the sound was washed away, leaving only a thin layer of suicidal whispers. The edge of the front door of some rooms is faintly covered with blood-red mist, and traces of it are falling. The dark basement is crawling, filled with painful gasps and greedy smiles.
The sound insulation effect of each room is very excellent. No matter how loud the people in the room are, the sound that can be transmitted outside the room is very hazy. Especially the rooms where surgeries are performed, the sound insulation effect is extremely good. Ye Ning and the others just listened to this faint voice, and a sense of resentment spread into their hearts.
The security guard opened a door. The light inside the door was surprisingly bright. It was completely different from the darkness in the corridor. It dazzled the eyes of the four people. Their eyes adapted to the light and they followed the security guard in. The security guard pointed to the sofa next to him and said coldly: "Let's do it for a while, Brother Guo will be here soon."
As soon as he sat down, he saw a sofa in the blind spot where he had just entered. There were three men sitting on the sofa. The one closest to the door looks the most simple, with his hands clasped in front of his chest to support his head. Ye Ning also recognized him at a glance, Li Yin!
The man next to him was wearing a loose black suit, with his sleeves hanging naturally on the sofa. If you look carefully, you can see the difference between his left and right arms. The sleeve on the left looks fuller, while the sleeve on the right looks very empty, slumped on the sofa.
The one at the far end looked empty, as if he had been seriously ill, or as if his body had been drained by wine and sex, and his face was pale.
Li Yin also recognized Ye Ning. Both of them knew that they were going to see each other today and had been mentally prepared for it. Even though they hadn't seen each other for two years, there was no change in their expressions or actions, as if they were unaware. , treating the other party as a mere passerby, without any emotion.
"What is this?" The empty young man spoke first. He pointed at Ye Ning and the others, his voice was low and weak, reflecting the feeling of emptiness.
"Don't worry, you three. They are just here to sell the corpses of monsters. Isn't this just in line with your purpose? Please wait a moment, Brother Guo will be here soon." The security guard said slowly, and walked out of the room, closed the dazzling door, and let the corridor return to darkness.
Someone may ask, isn’t buying and selling just about paying the money and delivering the goods? Why haven't the goods been taken down? The people have come down. Is this just empty talk?
Yes, it’s just empty talk. This is the rule. Anyone who comes has to accept it. It seemed that the car was left on top, but in fact the corpses of the monsters had been pried open and taken away. This is mainly due to the arrangement of Brother Guo. As long as the bounty hunter who comes is unfamiliar, unfamiliar, and anxious to spend money, he looks very easy to bully at a glance. Brother Guo will sit down and raise the price to get more profit. If they don't agree, Brother Guo will say that he has taken away the corpse of the monster, forcing them to talk.
This can be said to maximize the immediate benefits, but in the long run, this transaction will become more and more costly. But Brother Guo doesn't care. Anyone who comes to Night City to do business is basically a shameless little person who doesn't understand the world or is in a hurry for money. As long as he is sure that the other party is this kind of person, Brother Guo will sit down and raise the price, and the price he raises is not much, and the other party can tolerate it if he takes a step back.
Brother Guo dared to do this because he was backed by Wan Hongzhuang, and his theoretical identity was a scientific research member of the Night City Research Institute. Based on these two identities, bounty hunters dare not touch him. Because if a bounty hunter accidentally kills a soldier or scientific researcher, the money earned will be confiscated and the person will have to work in the army for free. If he refuses to obey, he will be killed immediately. Bounty hunting is a serious money-making job. If they accidentally kill the wrong person and want to continue making money, they can only go to the underworld, and it is not necessarily the underworld.
Brother Guo wanted to covet this little money, but he was also afraid that if the negotiation didn't go well, the grumpy guy would flip the table over on the spot, so he tried to use his strength to negotiate the price. Therefore, Brother Guo's self-protection work is very good.
No, Brother Guo swaggered over with five B-level superpowers, pretending to be fast. In addition, he himself is an A-level superpower, so basically no team would dare to challenge him. Even fight.
"Oh, I'm sorry, something happened on the way. I'm really sorry for the delay." After waiting for nearly ten minutes, Brother Guo finally arrived with a group of younger brothers. Brother Guo's words were full of apologies and his tone was very soft to dispel everyone's suspicions.
And of course he was late, on purpose. He was very anxious when he heard about a bad-tempered person. With his experience in negotiating so many deals, most of these people were just starting out and became bounty hunters in a hurry for money. The more experienced they are, the calmer their character is.
Brother Guo has already planned to deal with this kind of people. If you are anxious, I will delay, and the delay will be a little longer. When negotiating the price with you, the more anxious you are, the more I will raise, and in the end I can make a huge profit. Even though he was only ten minutes late, the security guard took Ye Ning and the others around a lot and wasted a lot of time. And Li Yin and his group came early, and it was really a long wait for them.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry. I thought it would be done very quickly, but I didn't expect you all to fall asleep waiting. I'm so sorry." Brother Guo was still full of apologies when he spoke, but he I just want to find some other topics to delay for a while. As long as the other party is really anxious, he can make a big profit from this transaction.
"Asleep?!" As soon as he heard this, he felt puzzled in his heart. He quickly thought of who was asleep and leaned towards Ma Jiao fiercely. What's going on with Ma Jiao? He slept all day yesterday, got distracted in the car today, and now he's asleep again! This is working! At the same time, he was also a little puzzled. He had also seen Ma Jiao become more alert after receiving survival training. But now that everyone is talking, he is still sleeping, something is wrong, something is really wrong.
Looking at Ye Ning's squinting eyes, Zhou Chen understood. Although his expression could not show the ferocious look, his actions showed the feeling. He stretched out his hand, quickly and decisively, and struck the back of Ma Jiao's head viciously.
Ma Jiao was immediately woken up by this slap. He sat there blankly, motionless, as if he had been stunned. At this moment, Ma Jiao's expression seemed to be saying: Who am I? where am I? What am I doing?
"He's too tired." Seeing that Ma Jiao was awake, Ye Ning turned to look at Brother Guo, who was standing at the door in front of the five people. He said in an impatient tone, "Let's get down to business!"
Seeing Ye Ning's anxious look, cherishing words like gold, she wished she could settle the matter immediately. Brother Guo smiled inwardly, and he was probably sure about it this time. The more anxious the other party became, the more he wanted to buy time. He turned to look at Li Yin and the other three, and said slowly: "Don't worry, let me introduce this boss to you first."
