Chapter 44: It's not funny

"Sell the spars, sell the spars, pure earthy yellow medium-grade skull spars, only 4999 blue coins!"

"If you can't buy it, you can't be fooled, a smoke bomb can save your life!"

"It only takes three weeks to apply for personal weapons!"

"Sell fifty people to the sub-forum!"

The market was a hive, open in any possible direction, with arched ceilings covered with ancient Egyptian-style frescoes, and pharaohs' serpent staff staring down coldly over the crowd. Everything you can think of is sold here, people, pets, weapons, food, drugs, permits, wanted warrants, you name it.

The noisy shouts seemed to unite the energy of 40,000 people, and the vendors greeted any passer-by enthusiastically, and people often stood in front of a stall and bargained fiercely.

The unhappiness of the past few days has made sensitive people perceive a faint undercurrent, and the number of people who have come to the trading market has immediately increased, and the narrow corridors that make people lose their way are rubbing shoulders one after another, and from time to time there will be quarrels and angry curses, and finally the passionate people will turn into a duel.

Gu Lian took a step back with agility, dodging the dangerous tip of the sword. A drunken man was swinging his sword and pointing it at a young man who had accidentally stepped on him.

"Yes, I'm sorry......" the young man said with a trembling voice, his voice filled with fear. The drunkard seemed to enjoy the pleasure of abusing the weak, and laughed and said, "It's easy to say, just let me stab a sword, don't worry." No one will die!"

The people around seemed to be accustomed to this, indifferently and quickly retreating in a perfect circle, onlookers watching. Do things to do. There is no one to plead or pity for the young man, indifference, curiosity, excitement, only such eyes that shuttle through the air like an electric current.

Gu Lian frowned slightly, and just wanted to step forward, but was stopped. Yan Yuzhen held her down behind him, bent down and whispered, "Don't move yet." ”

Gu Lian's heart moved, and then looked at it. I saw the young man shaking his head with a white face, raising his hands staggeringly, and making a gesture of surrender: "Don't stab me." Don't stab me, I beg for mercy......"

He stumbled and suddenly knelt down in front of the drunk, who sneered and said, "Don't kneel down for me......"

Suddenly. His face twisted. Looking down in surprise, the young man looked up at him and smiled brightly, the part of his hand touching the drunk's bare ankle metalized.

"I advise you to go to the infirmary, otherwise the blood vessels will not circulate and your feet will be useless. ”

The drunkard's face twisted for a while, and the wine woke up at once, and he suddenly turned around and stumbled out, and people subconsciously avoided making way for a way. There is no excitement to see around. The crowd resumed its flow as if nothing had happened.

The young man stood up with a grin. Patting the non-existent soil, he bent down and bowed, making a curtain call: "Thank you, thank you for watching!"

There were bored people who laughed and applauded.

Gu Lian looked at this scene, dumbfounded, and turned her head to look at Yan Yuzhen: "That's ...... Is it really good?"

Yan Yuzhen didn't look at her, just pressed her shoulder, looked ahead, and said coldly: "What's the matter." ”

She turned her head, and the young man appeared in front of them at some point, with a relaxed smile on his freckled cheeks, and stretched out his hand and said, "Beauty, are you interested in gambling?"

Gu Lian subconsciously stretched out her hand, but was grabbed back by Yan Yuzhen, he took her back two steps, frowned and said, "Don't touch him." ”

Oh yes, this person's ability is metalized by contact......

The young man seemed to be accustomed to this reaction, and he didn't care, so he withdrew his hand in his pocket and said with a smile: "Up to ten times the income, try it." ”

When Gu Lian sat on the chair in a daze, staring blankly at the two cards on the green suede like a mahjong table, she still didn't understand why she, a good student in the new era, suddenly sat on the gambling table.

"Do you remember the rules of the game?" asked the young man who had lifted the curtain and walked in lightly, chewing gum. His name is Lu Ke, a native of the expedition base, his father is an anomalous person, it is said that he died a few years ago when he went on a mission, although he has excellent abilities, but he does not want to be a hunter.

"I don't want to die on the road like my dad. Lu Ke said with a smile.

He grew up in this chaotic market and knew all the rules here. He's a serious gambler, and he's been highlighted in the casinos, but he's a good guy and he's got his own rightful identity - he's the owner of "The-Show." His show has no fixed content, no fixed time, and if he wants to open it, he will temporarily find 80 viewers to come out, and each person will charge 200 blue coins to set up a gambling game.

Today, Gu Lian is the protagonist of his gamble.

"Got it...... No, it's not this problem!" Gu Lian said busily, but it was too late, Lu Ke didn't plan to listen to the indecisive little girl chirping crookedly, and after hearing the first three words, he was selectively deaf, he turned around in a dashing manner, snapped his fingers, the dark curtain shook slightly, and slowly rose, and the noisy voices of the audience below were suddenly amplified several times, and together with the sudden burst of cheers and applause, it drilled into her eardrum.

"Audience, good afternoon, this is The-Show, I am the store manager, my Chinese name is Lu Ke, English name, I guess you have guessed what it is called by now, right?"

The atmosphere in the audience has not been mobilized, only a few people whispered "Look".

"Well, why are you so obedient? Lu Ke shook his head, with a helpless expression of being too witty, "My name is Jerk, can't you see my face?"

The audience burst into laughter.

It is a small theater with a heavy dark green curtain blocking the riots of the trading market. Eighty scarlet sofa chairs, dark arrangement, bright lights, Lu Ke wore dragged ragged denim and army green vest, standing on the stage.

Lu Ke talked eloquently to the audience, combining the unique hangings of young people with the calm typhoon standing on the stage. He has a special charm that makes people shine.

No wonder he wanted to warm up in person, Gu Lian thought secretly.

"Now. Please give me a round of applause if you know me. Lu Ke raised his hands and said, and the people in the room looked at the few people with a smile on their faces and applauded, as if they wanted to see what he would do.

Lu Ke was unwavering, and stretched out his finger with a smile on his face: "Oh, great, there are only so many people." The audience was aroused with curiosity, and saw him put his hand down. Raising his chin, he smiled evilly, "If you don't know me, please shout out handsome guy." I tell you, I can look at it, I remember clearly who just applauded or not, and don't give me sloppy eyes. ”

The audience burst into laughter. Pay for his humor. Shouting at the venue for handsome guys.

"Hey, what kind of handsome guy am I, really, stop screaming, I'm so embarrassed. Who knew that Lu Ke pretended to be shy and shameless, which caused a burst of laughter from the audience.

"Okay, let's get back to the point, the protagonist of today's The-Show. We've brought in someone who's been making a name for themselves lately and has been dominating the headlines for a long time!"

There was a faint commotion in the audience. People's eyes moved to Gu Lian, revealing doubt, curiosity and thoughtfulness. Gu Lian sat on pins and needles, and at the same time suddenly realized - she said why so many people chose her, it turned out that people had been staring at her for a long time!

"Oh? It seems that someone has already guessed who it is! Yes, this young lady is the headline figure that many people are already familiar with-Zhan Mei!" Lu Ke described in inflammatory language, and one after another people sighed with the meaning of "so it is", and when the person concerned heard this, the whole person was not good.

When did she make headlines?

"Although many people must be familiar with the story of the war sister, let me take you to review it. On August 28th, the day before yesterday, Zhan Mei appeared in front of the public for the first time with a stunning attitude, which is what this photo shows. ”

Lu Ke loosened the index finger of his left hand, and a roll of photos fell, it was the photo of Gu Lian holding a gun at Zhou Zhao that day, I don't know which bastard secretly took it in the corner, the picture is a bit empty, but the face is soft, the eyes are black, and the hand is holding a retro revolver with a metal rose carved on the handle, there is no doubt that it is Gu Lian.

"Both this pistol and later the gold card made us very curious about the identity of the girl who suddenly appeared in the Internet café, and no one knew where she came from. Some people took the nickname 'War Sister' because of her murderous aura that did not match the soft girl, which was later widely circulated and accepted on the forum. And then, the confrontation with Luo Sai and the other three, as well as the appearance of Su Jingming, attracted people's attention even more -- who is she? Is she a newcomer to the base, or is she someone who already lives in the base? What is the state of her relationship with them? and how does she know them?"

Lu Ke's story-rich description greatly satisfied the audience's cravings, and people couldn't help but wait with bated breath, and Gu Lian ...... I'm already looking for an exit.

Ah!!hh

However, Lu Ke's narration is far from over.

I only heard him say in a high-pitched voice: "However, on August 29th, that is, yesterday morning, before her friends in the media found out her identity, she appeared in the headlines again. This time, it's another amazing big man standing next to her, please look at the photo-"

Lu Ke put down the second finger, and another roll of photos rolled off and covered the previous one. From this angle, you can see the large military trucks, and the four people who appear to be very small against the background.

The audience was in an uproar.

"In addition to the war sister, there is also our goddess, Liu Liu, who has entered and exited the high-level! Wan Qingcheng, the head of the base army! Although the identity of the other man is unknown, judging from the attitude of the head Wan towards him, it is certain that he is also a big man!"

…… Oh buy ga, it's miserable.

Gu Lian covered her face, Fan Junshi, do you know, you are also in the headlines, all kinds of lying guns!

And after this incident, there was a skeleton attack tragedy that shocked many people yesterday! At that time, the war sister was at the scene, and many people on the forum expressed their concern and blessings, and now, the war sister will say a few words about it. What was going on? Was it chaotic? How did you feel?"

Lu Ke suddenly changed his words and held the microphone in front of her, while Gu Lian's expression became stiff.

Buildings that have been razed to the ground like charcoal, the appearance of the whole grandmother's walking corpse, the ethereal smile of Mother Liuliu, the confused innocent and helpless gaze of Ari, the screaming women and children, the sick and the deceased who have turned into skeletons.

"Huh, sister, please say a few words. ”

Lu Ke smiled, still very relaxed, and Gu Lian caught a bit of mockery on his face for some reason. Where did this hostility come from? Gu Lian had no way to investigate, but she used her best strength, took a deep breath, looked at the curious gaze of the audience, and said seriously: "It's not comfortable. ”

It's not good at all.

It seemed to find her attitude amusing, and someone chuckled.

"It's not funny. Gu Lian said loudly. In the thick and dim curtain, there was suddenly an awkward silence, and the lively and active atmosphere that was finally rendered by Lu Ke was gone. (To be continued.) )

PS: Benjun really loves some surnames, and there is no way to cut the scenes for them...... Cover your face.
