Volume 1 The Night Net Woven by Many Claws Chapter 42 The Black Market
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Mu was woken up by the alarm clock and opened the curtains with his hazy eyes. The sky outside the window was gray, and there was a light rain wafting in the air, which made people unable to lift the mood of going out.
Li Mu turned on his mobile phone and played a melodic tune, turned up the volume, dispelled the tiredness in his heart, and began to wash.
Half an hour later, everything was ready, Li Mu put on his black backpack and went downstairs.
There was a slight fragrance of lychees wafting in the living room, and Liu Yiyue should have gone out, because in the storage bucket where umbrellas were placed at the door, there were originally 4 umbrellas, but now there are only three.
Li Mu took his black umbrella and followed the route he planned last night to Longhua Street. Now at half past six, before nine o'clock, he should be able to arrive, and hopefully by then, the people in the black market will already be "working".
The remnants of yesterday in the community were blown by the wind and rain, the ashes turned to dirt, and some police officers stationed at the scene were doing the precautions for the stormy day, Li Mu quietly walked outside the cordon around them, without attracting attention.
It won't be long before these police officers follow the process and go through the formalities, and the owners of the community will re-invest in building houses, and the families of the five dead tenants will be compensated and leave with sadness, and then new tenants will come in.
But life never came back.
Wu Chen jokingly said before, thinking that the first time Li Mu saw him, he would say "It's all my fault" self-blame, Li Mu did blame himself, because if it weren't for him, these five people would not have died, and he couldn't get away with it anyway. But he was indeed not affected by self-blame, and he was so calm and rational in front of Wu Chen. Because, if self-blame is useful, there will be no one in the future, because of being the enemy of those two demolition maniacs, and the innocent people around them will be harmed.
This kind of thing is by no means the first time, Cheng Qian and Wang Wuwei are afraid that they have already developed this habit, and if they can't retaliate against the target, they will take revenge on the people around the target.
So Li Mu didn't choose to hide under the protection of SPO, and let the two of them recover from their injuries before making a comeback and continuing to do evil.
You have to take advantage of his illness and grasp his lifeline.
Of course, Li Mu is not stupid enough to chase the murderer alone, and he also used some careful thinking, listening to Zhang Xingyue say that the person who protects him is very strong.
This made Li Mu feel a pity, strong people only used it to protect him, it was really a pity, such a strong shield, if only it could be turned into a spear.
Unconsciously, in the car, Li Mu arrived at Longhua Street.
Pedestrians on both sides of the street, holding umbrellas, walking briskly, unable to see their faces clearly, and the cars in the street were speeding and splashing with whirlpools, causing a burst of scolding.
Li Mu was not splashed by the water, because the car he was in was following the funeral car, and the driver was instructed by Li Mu to slow down when he encountered a water vortex, so he was not in a bad mood by passers-by.
Holding an umbrella, Li Mu looked at the layout of the street, which was far from the city center, and the housing buildings were more European-style, and the rain fluttered, making the side-by-side houses look a little old in the gloomy weather.
Walking along the side of the street, after a few turns, Li Mu saw a brand new sign hanging in front of a house that read 233, and following the direction of this house, Li Mu quickly found No. 248.
It was a not-so-surprising residential house, with whitewashed walls, and two tall, thin men standing in the doorway, dressed in casual clothes, wearing hats, holding umbrellas, and holding a cigarette in their hands.
Li Mu walked over, looked at the tall, thin man who was older, and said:
"Hello, I want to rent this house. ”
The tall and thin man took a cigarette violently, looked down at Li Mu, and said in a ruffian:
"This house is very pretty, how much do you pay to rent it?"
Li Mu said: "368." ”
The tall and thin eyes narrowed, looked left and right, and said:
"I'm afraid I can't even pay a fraction of this money. ”
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said according to what Li Yan had taught him:
"I still have some chips. ”
The tall and thin man glanced at the accomplice beside him, and his ruffian spirit was reined in, and he said:
"I'm giving you half an hour and I hope you'll prove to us the value of those chips. ”
Li Mu nodded, took out five red tickets from his arms, and said:
"That's natural, this money is used to buy some cigarettes for the big brothers. ”
The tall thin man took the money and put it in his pocket, his cold face turned into a smile, and said:
"Follow me. ”
The older thin man took out the key from the inside pocket of his jacket and opened the door, motioning for Li Mu to follow, but the younger thin and tall man did not go along, but remained outside, his eyes wandering around.
Li Mu entered the door, glad that the series of operations he had just done were done right in strict accordance with Li Yan's requirements.
However, when he entered the door, his eyes were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he could only follow the tall and thin man with his sense of hearing.
I don't know how long I have been walking.
A pale yellow light slowly lit up, Li Mu squinted slightly, adjusted to the light, and found that the tall and thin man was standing in front of Li Mu with two old-fashioned oil lamps in his hands, and in front of the tall and thin man, there was a staircase leading to the underground.
"I'll pick you up here in half an hour. The tall and thin man handed Li Mu an oil lamp in his hand and made a gesture of "please enter", it seems that he will not enter with Li Mu.
Li Mu nodded, took the lamp, and walked down.
The stairs weren't long, about 100 steps, and at the end was a door made of blue crystal with a very regular shape, which Li Mu recognized as all over the underground laboratory of Sakurakai Middle School.
But Ken carved the super crystal into a door, which is an extremely generous performance, not to mention the value of the super crystal, the cost of this carving alone is extremely expensive.
On the right side of the crystal door there is a button and an area for placing lanterns, Li Mu puts down the lanterns, presses the buttons, and the door unfolds on its own, and the flickering light and noisy carnival sound can be heard from it.
Li Mu stepped in, and where he saw it, was a huge circular field, surrounded by a variety of high-end liquor, and rich and expensive food, and the bewitching women and burly men shook their heads and danced, unclothed, the sound of music and lights were accompanied, and the air was filled with a kind of blue smoke, which made people's faces intoxicated, and the atmosphere was very charming.
Li Mu's face was slightly red, he took a deep breath, Li Yan said, this is the enjoyment area on the periphery of the black market, only the veteran members of the black market can enjoy expensive services here, and at the same time, this is also an illusion to confuse outsiders. Li Mu's goal was the inner perimeter, so he didn't bother to spend much time in this luxurious paradise of drunken money, and walked towards a small black gate opposite the circular field.
There is no button next to the small black door, only one word is written: push.
Li Mu did so and found that it was a revolving door, and Li Mu could only follow the rotation of the door to enter quickly, and then the door closed on its own.
There was something soft on the small black door, absorbing the noise of the ballroom.
Entering again, Li Mu's ears fell silent in vain, in front of him was an extremely spacious avenue, there were many shops on both sides of the avenue, there were all kinds of goods in them, there were many "guests", but they all talked to the shopkeeper in a whisper, and they didn't dare to make the slightest extra sound.
Li Mu walked in, looked around, it was a long experience, here are all kinds of super-technological weapons and equipment, all kinds of precious items lost in the news can be seen here, what surprised and angered Li Mu even more, is a shop window, there is a cat-eared body, a beautiful little girl with a small tail, she looks at everyone passing by with pity, pouting, wagging her tail, and a note is posted outside the window: artificial cat-shaped girl, exclusive customization, 20w one, arranged legal identity, goods remaining: 11, first come, first served.
Holding back the feeling of rescuing her, Li Mu walked to the innermost, relying on the metal perception, the surveillance hidden in the surrounding darkness, he could find it.
Here, he has a very strong sense of crisis, as if as long as he dares to make a move, he will be subdued in the next second. Now he has to endure it, and one day, he will destroy this black nest.
The cat-shaped girl looked pitifully at Li Mu, who walked past her, but didn't look at her at all, and the hope in her eyes slowly turned desperate.
Li Mu almost couldn't help it, but his reason saved him, if he didn't save him, he would die, and the girl wouldn't end well.
The road is very far, and for those who walk for the first time, it is even longer, Li Mu saw the shops selling viruses and demonstrating the toxicity in front of customers, and saw the vendors who used super technology to target ordinary people and demonstrate the power of customers.
Finally, Li Mu came to the end, he admired himself so much for the first time, and for the first time, he also found that it was easier to fight crime than to fight crime in front of him, but he had to endure not to fight.
