It seems that everyone in this city has dual identities, and all kinds of strange things always happen after the sun sets.
With the rising of the sun, this complicated night finally came to an end.
Some people slept for a few hours and then began to continue studying the samples, while others had just emerged from the other end of the sewer.
Shi Jin rubbed his head, which felt a little uncomfortable, and confirmed the contents of the transfer order again.
The First Commercial Street is indeed the legendary subsidy recycling station. In just one night, the five members of the Fresnel team had their wallets bleed heavily.
Looking at his empty pockets, Shi Jin sincerely hoped that the unknown transfer order would bring him a higher salary, otherwise he would probably become the typical example of someone who spent all his retirement benefits overnight in the eyes of others.
"Are you awake?"
A plain greeting came from Shi Jin's side. She turned her head and saw Wang Xiao with an expressionless face.
"I remember you weren't..."
Shi Jin suddenly stopped talking halfway through her words. She remembered that even if only half of the man in front of her was left, he could still grow back and would not be knocked down by a few bottles of wine.
"It's okay. Four livers can easily deal with this amount of alcohol."
“…”
Shi Jin was speechless for a moment, thinking that his ability was being used in a strange place.
Thinking that he was about to leave the team like this, Shi Jin's curiosity began to stir again.
That perhaps correct guess appeared in her mind again.
Looking back at the three people who were still sleeping soundly, Shi Jin asked seriously:
"Have you heard of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult?"
Wang Xiao was stunned for half a second and then shrugged:
“Who here hasn’t heard of it?”
Shi Jin suddenly remembered what happened on the city wall, and thought that this strange and devilish name might spread throughout the entire Hope City in a few days.
She tried to decide her words in her mind, remembering the Meow Meow command that Fran had told her, and her expression became serious again:
"The holy fire is shining! The holy fire is shining!
"All my disciples..."
She deliberately left the last sentence and then stared at Wang Xiao in front of her.
Wang Xiao was immediately puzzled. He stared at Shi Jin for a long time and asked tentatively:
"Take your temperature?"
"…Just pretend I didn't say anything."
The morning passed quickly with everyone chatting. As time went by, everyone woke up from the sofa or chair and joined the team to reminisce.
Everyone had said everything that needed to be said the night before, and by the time the last puppeteer woke up, it was already noon.
After a simple lunch, Shi Jin said goodbye to everyone and went to Wager Chemical Plant alone.
---
The black market was very quiet during the day, with no one in sight except the residents of Hope City walking around.
If the entire abandoned factory building had not had almost no traces of dust, Shi Jin would even suspect that he had come to the wrong place.
Walking on the slightly dilapidated road, Shi Jin emptied his mind and suddenly found that almost all the major changes in his life were related to this abandoned chemical plant.
In order to treat his mother's illness, he came into contact with the black market for the first time, and was arrested here for selling the stolen goods.
Now that I have become a super-powered person, I have to report here again.
The transfer order clearly stated that Shi Jin needed to go to the basement level of the chemical plant, and even during the day, it was always pitch dark there.
"Da, da, da."
She walked down the stairs with exposed steel bars step by step, alert to everything that might happen around her, her abilities always on the verge of being activated.
Walking down the last step, Shi Jin saw the figure in the shadows ahead.
The man seemed to have been waiting for a while. He took two steps forward from the shadows, allowing the slanting sunlight to illuminate him.
A black hood covered her entire face, and her long burgundy hair hung down from both sides of her neck. She folded her hands in front of her, constantly playing with an iron-black ring on her finger.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The man spoke.
Looking at this black market businessman whom he had met several times, Shi Jin felt a little surprised, but it didn't seem so difficult to accept.
Thinking about it carefully, there are indeed countless suspicious points about the other party, but my attention was not focused on this aspect before, so I did not think deeply about the related issues.
Now that I think about it, the other party might be the most unfathomable person in the black market.
In a place like the black market where there are almost no rules, things like robbery are not uncommon at all. It is better to say that as long as you come here, you tacitly accept the unique rules here where the strong are respected.
However, this special businessman in front of him never seemed to worry about his own safety. Shi Jin suddenly understood where the sense of disharmony he had seen in the other person came from.
Most people who come to the black market are wary of everyone around them, but she feels like she is on vacation here, with an overflowing sense of relaxation.
At the same time, she never seemed to cheat on Shi Jin in anything related to the merchandise.
When she first bought the special medicine, the other party clearly said that it could not be cured, and later helped her identify those fake gold...
It's not that this person can't lie, but rather that he disdains to do such a thing.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Seeing that Shi Jin didn't answer for a few seconds, the man continued to ask in a teasing tone.
"To be honest, it was quite unexpected."
Shi Jin nodded honestly. To be honest, she thought that the other party was not ordinary, but he could actually transfer her here directly with a transfer order. The other party's true identity...
She had a very bold guess.
"Yeah, that's the expression I wanted to see."
Councillor Nia's tone was gentle, and there seemed to be some reminiscence of the past in it.
Her fingertips gently rubbed the iron-black ring, and a ray of light seemed to flash.
At the top of the stairs behind Shi Jin, a thick iron plate began to seal off the entire space bit by bit, and less and less light was able to shine in.
"Don't be nervous. There's no need to use your abilities."
As if seeing through Shi Jin's thoughts, Nia made another prediction the moment before she activated her ability to protect herself.
The last ray of light was swallowed up by the iron plate, and the underground of the Wager Chemical Plant fell into darkness.
The bright light strips light up one after another, as if guiding the direction forward.
"Follow me."
Nia gave the instruction casually, then turned around and walked towards the direction where the light strip extended.
Shi Jin followed her nervously, heading deep underground into the chemical plant.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Nia, I’m thirty years old, and I’m currently a member of the Parliament of Hope.
"You may have heard of me or you may not, but it doesn't matter."
At this point, Nia smiled as if she remembered something interesting:
“You just need to know that your pardon was signed by me.
"So, Shi Jin, or Ms. [Two-Way Clock], could you please explain how your ability was awakened?"
