Zhao Qi didn't spend money on traveling, and quickly recognized that this was a shop dealing in antique artifacts, just by casually glancing at it, you could find that this store was filled with ancient utensils from all over the world, of course, they must be imitations, if the real goods are not just casually displayed, and no one is even guarded, are you really afraid that someone will sneak in and get a few pieces?

However, ordinary thieves may really not look down on these things, after all, it is not easy to realize, and most of them are smashed in their hands if they are stolen, so it is better to steal a few more Apple phones and disassemble and sell parts.

At this moment, a figure flickered behind the screen in the depths of the store, and a thin old man walked out, holding a feather duster in his hand, and turned on the light in the store without knowing where to press it.

The gloomy feeling was immediately dispelled.

"I don't know if the two girls are coming, they are not far away, please feel free to take a look. The old man laughed.

Shishi was straightforward and asked, "Are you the owner of the shop?"

"Well, very few people come to my small shop, so I was reading in the back and came over when I heard someone talking. The old man replied.

To be honest, whether it is Zhao Qi or Shishi, they are not interested in these things in the store, but this is good, they often can't control their hands when they visit the boutique, and they will not be here, absolutely only shopping and not buying.

Shishi casually picked up a sharp black stone fragment, the surface seemed to have been polished, pitted, very rough, not like something valuable.

She asked, "Boss, what is this?"

"It's not wrong to say gems, but more accurately, they were obsidian shards used by Aztec warriors to stab enemies, insert them into the grooves of wooden sticks, and slam them at enemies or prey, which was effective against targets without armor. The old man spoke, and made a chopping motion.

Shishi blinked, "This, it's definitely not true, right?"

The old man smiled slightly, "This is really true. The wooden rods that inlay it have just decayed, but the stone itself has survived. ”

Shishi's face changed slightly, and her eyes kept glancing at the obsidian, "You mean...... This thing has killed people?"

"No one knows about this, maybe they killed people, maybe they killed wild beasts, maybe they didn't see blood after they were made, and the Aztec Empire perished...... It's all possible. The old man replied.

Shishi hurriedly threw the obsidian back, and said with a disgusted face: "It's disgusting!"

Zhao Qi glared at her, and said in his heart that you are so careless, aren't you afraid of breaking it?

"Boss, you said that this obsidian is really from an Aztec antiquity, it can't be a lie, is it??, is there any proof?" Zhao Qi asked suspiciously, after all, if it was true, then this thing would be worth a lot of money. How could such an unknown shop in Binhai City have real antiquities?

"Proof it...... No, this thing was also given to me by others, and I can't always chase after others to prove it. The old man smiled, "To paraphrase an old saying - if you believe it, you don't believe it." ”

Zhao Qi was speechless, she felt that this old man's attitude was too casual, and he didn't look like he was doing business seriously, no wonder the door was deserted.

"Who would buy this?" asked Shishi, "what are you buying it for? to put it at home to enjoy, but it doesn't look good!"

"Yes. The old man replied affirmatively, "This obsidian fragment comes from the tiger warriors of the Aztec tribe, although it is an out-and-out fierce thing, but it can play a certain role in warding off evil spirits...... However, looking at the faces of the two girls, it seems that they are not bothered by evil spirits, so there is no need to buy it. ”

Zhao Qi: "......"

The more the old man talked, the more mysterious she became, at first she had a good impression of him, but now it seems that she is infinitely close to the charlatan......

Shishi patted her chest, "Don't scare me, I'm most afraid of ghosts! I don't even dare to watch ghost movies!"

The old man smiled and said: "Girl, you don't have to be so afraid, you must know that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points. ”

Zhao Qi couldn't listen to it anymore, she was different from a little girl like Shishi, she had never been afraid of credit card overdrafts and not ghosts, so she couldn't help but interject: "Where did the ghost come from?

"There are so many things that people have never seen, how can we speculate whether they exist or not? The words of ghosts and gods are illusory, and we must not believe them all, and we must not disbelieve them. The old man did not argue with her, and smiled indifferently.

Zhao Qi shook his head and pulled Shishi, "Let's go, it's not like selling things here, it's like watching feng shui fortune telling." ”

Shishi wanted to leave a long time ago, and said to the old man apologetically: "I'm sorry, we still have something to do, let's go first." ”

"Walk slowly, with all due respect. ”

The old man was not angry or annoyed by Zhao Qi's words, paced to the door, watched their backs leave, and was about to return to the store, when he suddenly saw a strange short-haired white cat lying on the opposite wall.

He used to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood, but he had never seen one, and since he returned to Marina City, the stray cats seemed to have disappeared, as if they had been scared away by something.

He squinted his eyes, looked up at the sky, seemed to feel something, and whispered to himself: "Hey, half an acre of square pond is opened, and the sky and clouds and shadows are wandering together. The demonic atmosphere that has enveloped the city for many days has been swept away, why is this? No wonder the stray cats have come out again......

After a moment of contemplation, he couldn't figure out what to do, but it was a good thing for his cat, who had been cowering in the store since returning to Marina City.

He pulled the remote control out of his sleeve, turned off the lights again, and returned to the Backrooms.

Shortly after he left, Vladimir jumped from the eaves of the shop, jumped onto the opposite wall, and said to Xiaobai with a serious face: "Tonight...... No, let me think about it, it's better tomorrow night, the gay meows just tossed all night, and they're too tired...... Tomorrow night, pick some of the best from your men, and join me here—remember, it's not too much. ”

Xiaobai nodded, gestured, and asked if the old man just now was the target it ordered to find.

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!" Vladimir's eyes burned with flames, "Xiaobai, you have done a good job, he is the person I am looking for! I really didn't expect that he actually lives in Binhai City! The world is so small!"

If the statue of the cat god were still alive, it would have agreed with the enemy, for it had already felt this deeply when it wandered around the city of Marina in the dark night.
