Chapter 9



"Neither." An Zhe took another step back, his back against the plastic board: "I went the wrong way.

" "Wrong way?" The woman: "The second floor is a casino, where do you want to go?"

She held a cigarette between her right fingers, put it in her bright red lips and took a puff, then smiled and said: "Pretend to lose yourself."

An Zhe looked around, but he was forced into a corner by the woman, and there was no way to get away. This beautiful human was more difficult to entangle than the monster in the abyss.

"Don't be afraid," she spit out a cloud of snow-white smoke, and said, "I won't eat you."

An Zhe: "Then can you let me go?"

The woman smiled again.

"Go?" She raised her eyebrows: "Only people who are desperate will come to the third floor. If you leave, where will you go? "

As she spoke, she put her arm around his shoulders and led him forward: "Are you scared here? You don't have to stay here, I'll give you a big room."

"Thank you." An Zhe lowered his head and said, "But I really went the wrong way."

"Huh?"

"I just wanted to find an ordinary job," he said, "and then someone told me to come to the lower three floors."

"The black market is only visible to people on the upper floor," the woman heard what he said, blinked her eyes, a look like floating smoke, "You don't even know this?"

An Zhe: "I know now."

He also knew about the "free market" in the "Radical Handbook", the black market that people are talking about.

"Radical law does not protect the black market. "The woman leaned against the wall and smoked. She no longer pressed An Zhe tightly into the corner, but made a gap.

An Zhe thought this was her signal to let him out. As soon as he took a step out, he saw two tall men in black walking out from behind her, one on the left and one on the right, blocking all the directions he could go.

"No one has gone out since we came to the third floor." The woman's voice was no longer sweet and charming, but cold and chilly: "But you are lucky."

An Zhe looked up at her.

"I'll give you one chance," she said, "Boss Xiao's shop is short of staff. If he wants you, you follow him. If he doesn't want you--"

She stopped talking and turned and walked in one direction: "Come here. "

An Zheyuan thought for three seconds and walked deeper with her.

The compartments were so densely packed that he felt like he was walking in a maze built of honeycombs. The lights were getting dimmer and dimmer.

Finally, at the end of the space, a door appeared on the gray wall.

The woman raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Boss Xiao, I want to discuss a business with you."

With a creak, the door opened.

It was an old man with snow-white hair, wearing a black suit and a bow tie. He squinted at the woman: "Du Sai, what a rare guest."

The woman smiled, finished her cigarette, and put it out on the wall: "I have something to talk to you about."

"How big a business? "The person called "Boss Xiao" looked at him, then turned to look at An Zhe.

The woman - Du Sai put his elbow on An Zhe's shoulder: "She's not too big, but hard to make. I was afraid you wouldn't agree, so I found a gift for you - I heard that your apprentice died of drinking, and you are looking for the next one. You think women are ugly, and men are easily stupid. Take a look at my child."

Boss Xiao's gray-blue eyes turned and stopped on An Zhe: "He looks obedient."

"Actually, he is obedient." Du Sai lifted her hair: "The first time I saw him, I felt that Boss Xiao liked him."

Boss Xiao smiled.

Then he said to An Zhe: "Stretch out your hand, let me see."

An Zhe stretched out his hand, his fingers were thin and white, with a little pink.

"Du Sai, where did you get this person? "Boss Xiao said, "How could such a kid be willing to come to the third floor?"

Du Sai: "He was tricked." An

Zhe: "..."

Then he heard Boss Xiao say to him, "Make a fist, slow down."

An Zhe slowly folded his five fingers.

Boss Xiao: "Do it again, slower." An Zhe slowed down. "Slower." In the end, An Zhe had slowed down to a step that was barely noticeable to the naked eye. Although he didn't know why Boss Xiao did this, it was not difficult for him. When he used the mushroom form, he controlled thousands of tiny hyphae at the same time, but now he only has five human fingers. In the end, even Du Sai came over. "Boss Xiao, you've found a treasure. "She lit another cigarette and said, "His hands are steadier than your last apprentice's." Boss Xiao looked at his hands, smiled, and said, "Lend it to me for a few days. If it works well, I'll take it." Du Sai said, "You have to give the child some money."

Boss Xiao said, "Okay."

An Zhe frowned. He certainly needed the money, but when he heard that it was "useful", he always felt that he was a little dangerous.

"Don't be afraid - although Boss Xiao is not a good person," Du Sai seemed to see through his worries and patted his shoulder, "but his craftsmanship is very valuable."

"I'm not a good person?" Boss Xiao snorted and laughed: "I am the biggest good person in this base."

After that, he turned to An Zhe: "You go to the store first, I have something to say to this crazy woman."

An Zhe is the most obedient. He turned his head and looked at the nearest shelf - some strange-shaped small bottles filled with liquids or solids, with some naked human bodies printed on the bottles. Further in, there were some books with similar covers - he knew about this kind of thing. A big part of the reason why the basic department that An Ze had contributed to went bankrupt was that no one was interested in the books published by the basic department, while pornographic books circulated on the black market were popular.

Below the shelf, the transparent glass drawer was filled with cigarettes, and another drawer next to it was filled with many mechanical USB flash drives.

At this time, the voice of Mr. Xiao's conversation was heard.

"The child is good. Mrs. Du has always been stingy, but she actually gave me a big gift. She must have something special to talk to me about." The sound of a lighter came from Mr. Xiao, and the density of the smoke in the room doubled.

"Kid, I just picked it up," Du Sai chuckled a few times, "It's really not easy to ask Boss Xiao to do something."

"It's all right," Boss Xiao said casually, "As long as the money is enough."

"You may not dare to do it." Du Sai said slowly.

Boss Xiao: "Just add more money and I will dare."

Du Sai sneered and said three words.

"Judge," she said, "Boss Xiao dare to do it?"

An Zhe was stunned. He didn't know how the three words "Judge" were connected to these two people in the black market.

And Boss Xiao was silent for a while.

Finally, he said, "I only act as a dead person, not a living person, because I'm afraid of getting into trouble. You want to cause me the biggest trouble."

"To be honest, I have a friend who loves that colonel madly and must get him." Du Sai said, "You also know that living people dare not approach within three meters of the judge. I have no choice but to buy a fake one from you. I'll put it at home and it won't cause any trouble. You can decide the price, Mr. Xiao."

Mr. Xiao just smiled and said nothing.

At the same time, An Zhe slowly moved into the store.

He stopped and kicked something.

He looked down and saw a miserable white human hand lying alone on the cement board. Judging from the condition, it was just broken, but the broken part was smooth and clean, and no flesh and blood could be seen.

An Zhe squatted down and poked the skin of the arm. It was very soft, like a human arm, but it was not.

It was a prosthetic hand.

He stopped exploring and stood up.

——Here, he met the eyes of a person standing in the glass window. Under the dim light, a pair of dark eyes looked straight at him, and half of the body was hidden in the darkness, which was a little scary.

An Zhe stared at him for a long time. After three minutes, he still didn't see any breathing movement of this person.

Maybe, like the prosthetic arm, this is a dummy, he thought.

"Are you scared?" Boss Xiao's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

An Zhe: "Not bad."

Boss Xiao: "Does it look like him?"

An Zhe: "Looks like him."

Boss Xiao smiled in a hoarse voice. He pressed the switch beside him, and the lights in the room became much brighter.

An Zhe finally saw the full face of the man in the glass window. He was a tall and slender man wearing black clothes, with neat and good-looking features. The light shone on his face, reflecting a thin layer of white light, which added a bit of chilly meaning for no reason.

"Have you heard of Hubbard, the leader of the AR137 mercenary team?" Boss Xiao said.

An Zhe didn't say anything. In the room, only Boss Xiao's voice continued to ring: "One of the most powerful mercenaries, a five-star dangerous place, he leads the team, like it's a game. He has money, right?"

An Zhe: "Yeah."

He knew that the supplies brought back from outside could be exchanged for the base's currency at the military supply station, and those powerful mercenaries were not short of money.

Boss Xiao pointed at the man standing in the window: "This man is his deputy. We grew up together when we were children and became mercenaries together as adults. We have been friends for more than 20 years. The last time we went out in the field, people died and not a single body was left. How miserable."

At this point, Boss Xiao laughed "Hey" and continued: "Three months after this man died, Hubbard came to see me. He lost his soul and spent more than half of his net worth to buy this man from me. I can't make a mistake."

"As for me, I definitely don't dare to make mistakes. Except that it's not alive, everything else is the same." Boss Xiao sighed: "After all, I will spend the rest of my life watching such a dummy."

"I used to make this stuff for fun, the inflatable kind. Later, everyone thought I made it look like a living person - the easier it is for people to die outside, the easier it is for people to go crazy, so my craft is worth money." Boss Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Learn from me, and in ten years, you will have more money than all the mercenaries."

An Zhe looked at him, thinking of his conversation with Du Sai before, and asked: "Then do you want to be the Inquisitor?"

"Yes, of course I won't." Boss Xiao laughed: "The Inquisitor is busy killing people, so he doesn't bother with this kind of shit."
