Chapter 185 Black Market
Fifteen minutes later...
The three of them stopped and looked at the four or five forks in the road in front of them.
"What should we do now? Should we split up or go back and talk to Brother Mo so we can come together?"
Mu Qimai frowned and said sternly, "Let's go back first. There are only three of us at the four intersections. Let's go back and discuss it with Brother Mo first."
The three of them turned around and walked quickly back to the apartment. Yan Mo's biological clock also belonged to the type that wanted to get up early, so the three of them said hello to Yan Mo before going out.
Hearing the door of the apartment being opened, Yan Mo, who was sitting on the balcony reading a book, looked up, then continued to look down at the book in his hand.
"Brother Mo, we went out for a morning run this morning and unexpectedly saw Du Xuefeng who came to see you last time."
As soon as the door was closed, Xiangwen couldn't even wait to change his shoes and ran over to share what they discovered when they went out this morning.
Closing the book in his hand, Yan Mo tapped the hardcover on the side of the book with his fingertips and said clearly: "Did you see Du Xuefeng? What's going on?"
"Yes, Xiang Wen and I saw it. Du Xuefeng was sitting in the passenger seat of an inconspicuous tool truck. He was not dressed as conspicuously as last time. He was wearing all black and a black mask on his face, as if he was afraid of being recognized. He went out so early in the morning and acted so low-key. There must be something fishy going on."
"The three of us followed the direction of the tool truck and found a way back. Finally, we came to a place with four forks in the road and stopped."
Bu Yuanzhou and Mu Qimai hung up their coats at the entrance and changed into slippers before walking in.
"It seems that Du Xuefeng has a lot of secrets. Let's go out again in the afternoon to see if we can find any clues." Yan Moyu said leisurely and meaningfully.
Shuxin slept until she woke up naturally and went downstairs to have dinner on time at nine o'clock. At the dinner table, she heard several men discussing going out to investigate clues in the afternoon, some of them were talking about Du Xuefeng.
Meow meow meow???
She slept two hours longer than usual, not two days, right?
How come she no longer understands what they are saying?
The crystal shrimp dumpling in my mouth feels so delicious that I want another one!
"What are you talking about? Going out to investigate Du Xuefeng? Didn't you say yesterday that we had to wait for the base to take action first? Why are we going out to investigate him today?"
After concentrating on finishing the last crystal shrimp dumpling in the bowl, Shuxin wiped her mouth and made time to ask questions.
"When Qi Mai and his friends went out for a morning run in the morning, they accidentally found Du Xuefeng sitting on a tool cart. We guessed that he must have done something shameful. Qi Mai and his friends followed the direction of the tool cart and tracked back for a while. They got stuck at a fork in the road and planned to go out and take a look in the afternoon."
Yan Mo explained to her the whole story gently and patiently.
"I want to go this afternoon too." Shu Xin took the initiative to ask for permission.
Yan Mo nodded slightly: "Okay, I'm worried about leaving you alone in the apartment."
In the afternoon, Shuxin and his friends got up from their lunch break and went out on time at 2:30. Mu Qimai led them to the fork in the road where they stopped in the morning.
“That’s it.”
"Okay, then we will split up. Regardless of whether we find anything or not, we must gather here in two hours at most. Xinbao, come with me."
"Okay." Several people nodded and set off towards four different forks in the road.
Shu Xin and Yan Mo chose the fork in the road on the far right. They turned in and walked further and further away. After walking for about fifteen minutes, they vaguely heard people talking in front of them and all kinds of noisy sounds.
Yan Mo pulled Shu Xin to stop and lean against the wall, motioning her not to speak for the time being, and released his mental power to spread to the front to explore.
When the mental power passed by, Yan Mo could feel that there was someone else's mental power covering this area, but his mental power level was higher than that person's. He could detect the other person, but that person could not detect him.
After seeing the scene inside clearly, his eyebrows raised slightly. It turned out to be a black market.
"The area ahead is the black market of H City. Xinbao, follow me closely when you go in. There are all kinds of people in there. It's very chaotic and unsafe." After retracting his mental power, Yan Mo turned around and whispered to Shu Xin.
"Yeah." Shu Xin nodded, her eyes sparkling.
When she was in City C, she had heard that there was a black market in every base, but she had never been inside to take a look. Today, she finally had the chance to go in and see what it was like inside.
The black market is allowed by default in every base. Some things that cannot be circulated and traded openly can be sold much more conveniently through the black market.
On the black market, as long as you have enough crystal cores, you can buy anything.
As Shu Xin and Yan Mo entered the black market, they immediately felt a faint spiritual force sweeping over them. Several burly men standing by the wall outside also stared at them from head to toe.
Both of them were wearing masks. Yan Mo noticed that the mental power stayed on Xinbao's face longer. Anger surged in his heart. He snorted coldly, and condensed his mental power into a big hand to crush the other party's mental power as a warning.
In a spacious room behind the black market, a person with special powers suddenly screamed in pain, holding his head and rolling on the ground. The others who were standing guard outside rushed in to check the situation.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be fine after a while. Maybe I've overused my mental energy, so my head hurts a little."
When asked what happened, the mentally damaged psychic didn't dare to tell the truth and could only make up a lie.
The best thing about people working in the black market is the ability to bend and stretch. They know clearly who they can and cannot offend.
Moreover, his mental strength has been severely damaged by the opponent. If he wants to continue to stay in his current position, this matter cannot be discovered by others, otherwise he will lose this high-paying job.
After teaching the other party a lesson, Yan Mo continued to stroll around the black market with Shu Xin. This time, he directly attached a layer of his own mental power to the two of them to block other people's prying.
The black market was much more chaotic than Shuxin had imagined. Within a distance of less than a hundred meters, she saw all kinds of things for sale, including salt, meat of mutant animals, guns and ammunition, controlled knives, and even stalls that took on murder missions.
Although Shuxin was shocked, she was not afraid at all. The strength transmitted from her left hand being held gave her peace of mind. With Yanmo by her side, she would never be afraid.
