"Boss, behind this black market is the 'Moment of Encounter'. Their mark is the dial pointing to six o'clock. As long as you see such a mark on the sign of the pub, it proves that there is a black market here. You just need to tell the waiter With the corresponding code, the other party will take you into the black market on that floor. Of course, there must be other organizations that also operate their own black markets, but you need to find it yourself or find other tour guides to ask."
As he spoke, Holm pointed at the lower left corner of the signboard. The not too eye-catching symbol looked like an ordinary dial at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it points to six and twelve respectively. The pointer is two swords, one short and one long.
"The Moment of Encountering Demons, is it the name of the organization, or is it the weird talk of the boss behind the scenes? I remember that in the East Kingdom, there is a saying that the time when day and night alternates is called the Moment of Encountering Demons. There are many people who are prone to seeing ghosts and being possessed by gods at this time. Said by urban roughnecks like Yin." Feng Xue thought in her heart, but walked into the tavern.
Although he had a colorful name, when he walked into the bar, Feng Xue did not see the scantily clad young lady he had imagined. Well... everyone was a young lady in his eyes.
However, although their clothing styles are different, most of them have nothing to do with exposure, and they are more engaged in normal chatting with each other rather than making some physical contact.
Holm walked beside Feng Xue and led him straight to the bar. When the bartender saw Holm, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, but he still wiped the wine glass calmly and asked:
"What would the guest want?"
"Give me a bottle of Erguotou. Also, I have something to do with Amber. Is he here?" Holm took out a 2,000 denomination note and put it on the table, casually saying a code that was normal.
But Feng Xue had the urge to take out a bag of salt. It's normal to ask for beer, rum, brandy, whiskey, etc., but when it comes to Erguotou... the style of painting is all wrong, okay?
The bartender handed over the banknote and took a bottle of Erguotou from the counter behind him. Fortunately, it was not the flat bottle of Red Star or Niulanshan that Feng Xue was familiar with, which made him feel a little better.
Passing Erguotou to Holm, the bartender pointed to the door in the corner and said as if he was giving directions:
"Amber is in box five."
…
Taking Feng Xue to box number 5, Holm whispered:
"The secret code is to ask for a bottle of Erguotou with two thousand towers, and then ask where the amber is. However, the door leading to the black market here is movable and changes almost at any time. Only the bartender knows the changing rules. The wine of two thousand towers is actually quite Because you know the location this time, don’t just go in directly next time. Not only will you not be able to find the right way, but even if you happen to happen upon it, you will easily be resented by the bartender, which can easily cause trouble.”
"This is the ticket price." Feng Xue took out two thousand banknotes and handed them to Holm. Holm did not refuse, but from her slightly raised eyebrows, Feng Xue knew that she should be in a good mood at this time -
The premise is that the filter can perfectly transform even micro-expressions.
…
Pushing open the door of box No. 5, what appeared was not the huge space Feng Xue imagined, but a normal box that looked very ordinary. If anything, it was an open space in the middle of the box. At this time There is a big hole that is just big enough for two people to walk side by side. From the side, you can vaguely see the stairs winding down, giving people the feeling of a secret passage in an ancient castle.
This feeling made Feng Xue extremely vigilant. Although Holm's performance had been normal so far, this tunnel looked so unreliable that Feng Xue only saw In a split second, it had already figured out dozens of ways to be ambushed.
However, Holm didn't seem to notice anything strange about Feng Xue. He took out the mask and hood from a small cabinet in the box and said:
"Generally, there are such items in private rooms to hide your identity, but they are actually useless. After all, most people in the black market have identification tags. Even if they can't remember your appearance, they can still remember the tags on you. Of course, if you You can use it if you feel you need it, but I must remind you that if you place this kind of deceptive behavior on the black market, it is a reflection of your lack of confidence in yourself. On the contrary, it is more likely to attract trouble. However, some people are very confident in themselves and want to take advantage of others. Guys will dress like a rookie on purpose.”
Feng Xue thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so she did not pick up the equipment, but gently tugged on the cloak that turned into a shadow to hide it. She was ready to escape at any time, and then followed Holm into the tunnel. .
However, it was different from what he imagined. Except for the dark part at the beginning, this "tunnel" became more spacious and brighter as he went down.
After walking about a hundred meters, and the vertical distance was about sixty meters, Feng Xue could really see what the black market looked like.
This is a street scene on a platform that I don’t know whether it is built underground or simply created to create a dark atmosphere. Both sides of the street are solid black stone walls, and windows with signboards are opened on them, revealing vendors and booths. , a road with a width of twenty meters opened in the center of the stone walls on both sides, extending forward continuously.
There were far more customers coming and going on the street than Feng Xue imagined. This made him give up his previous idea that the "black market was underground in the bar" and began to wonder whether the stairs were just a cover and that he had actually been tricked unknowingly. It was transmitted to the main body of the black market, which platform it is located on. Only in this way can we explain the huge amount of traffic in this black market.
In addition to the window displays on both sides of the street, there are also many street stalls on both sides of the road. The sellers spread out a piece of cloth and put the goods on it for people passing by to ask for prices and check them out. They don’t worry about being robbed at all. Things just run away.
Holm obviously guessed what Feng Xue was thinking, and immediately pointed to the men in black who were every ten meters or so on the roadside. They were wearing the same uniforms, and the coat of arms of the dial pointing to six o'clock was engraved on their chests. They stood motionless like puppets. If Holm hadn't pointed it out, Feng Xue would have even regarded them as dummies.
"The black market here is protected by people from the 'Moment of Encountering Demons'. Although their fighting power is not strong, there is a ghost story behind them. Legend has it that the ghost story entries possessed by their boss can accurately locate the enemy. As long as they violate If you follow the rules he set, no matter how far you run, you will be caught up."
Listening to Holm's words of half explanation and half reminder, Feng Xue nodded and asked casually:
“What qualifications are needed to open a shop or set up a stall here?”
"Only those who join Moment of Encounter are eligible to open a shop in the black market. As for setting up a stall, you only need to pay the rent of 20,000 towers for a day. However, you cannot buy at the street stalls, you can only sell. Please pay special attention to this."
