Chapter 9: The Crescent Society

The old man walked outside the store first, took off the "open" sign, and replaced it with "go out for something".

He then walked behind the counter and pressed a button under the counter. After a rattling sound, the door behind the counter slammed open. The old man handed a mask to Zhou Feiyu.

"We don't show our real identity here, I'm the one who leads so you don't need a mask, you also need to think of a code name. ”

Zhou Feiyu thought about it, he didn't know the information about this black market, so the code name needs to be cautious, once he has a casual name, if he wants to come in the future, it will not be good for the code name to be ridiculed.

After thinking about it, Zhou Feiyu finally confirmed a code name: "Corona"

"Your Excellency, please. ”

After locking the door of the store, the old man took Zhou Feiyu to the back of the "warehouse", where all kinds of goods were neatly placed, the old man walked to the corner of the warehouse, it seemed that there was some mechanism, and after the mechanism was activated, a stone slab appeared in the corner.

"This is the first test. There are three more tests ahead. ”

The old man bowed and said to Zhou Feiyu.

Zhou Feiyu frowned, according to this progress, it is very likely that he will not be able to create the parts he wants in time.

This is an unexpected thing, although Zhou Feiyu thought that there would be difficulties, but he never expected that he would have to pass the assessment first to get the help of the black market!

But there is no way, although Zhou Feiyu has a way to determine whether there is Owen's eyeliner in the town, but to avoid the eyeliner, it will take a lot of time to deal with it, and when he is done, he may not be able to get out of Owen's control.

Zhou Feiyu has a habit of dealing with the same object, in a short period of time, he will never repeat a technique, because this will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, and even if he passes the exam, this time will be too late, and titanium alloy must be processed by himself to rest assured.

So Zhou Feiyu is making a multiple-choice question, whether to join this black market, in order to plan for the future, or to force the store to make it for himself, it seems difficult to choose, but in fact, it is not.

If you force the store yourself, the store will definitely be dissatisfied with the news that this matter will definitely spread, and finally reach Owen's ears, and in the end, not only will he not be able to get "freedom", but he may not even be able to save his "life".

And if you choose the former, you can find a way to use the weapon, and you don't necessarily have to stare at that weapon, other weapons can achieve the same effect. So the final choice is to join.

Zhou Feiyu made up his mind and slowly walked to the slate, the slate seemed to be very old, but it was well maintained, and there were words that Zhou Feiyu didn't know around the slate, and these words were emitting a faint blue light at this time, just when Zhou Feiyu was puzzled, purple handwriting gradually appeared on the slate, and these handwriting was something that Zhou Feiyu could understand, it seemed to be a riddle.

"Baa-baa——, black sheep, do you have wool on you?Yes, yes, there are three bags, one for the master, one for the lady, and the last for the little master who is crying by the roadside. ”

"This ······" Zhou Feiyu was a little confused, what is this? Children's rhyme? No, if this is a test, then this is more like a riddle, if you only look at the literal meaning, there is definitely no way to understand it. Zhou Feiyu began to try to recall the knowledge about the occult.

"Black Sheep······ Wool ······ Crying little master······ The wool on the sheep's body is enough for three people? No, this has nothing to do with science, this should be the 'occult', although the technology of the blue star can now explain most of the 'occult' phenomena, but even the original particles cannot explain some occult phenomena. So the occult is also one of the compulsory courses for the Blue Star people

“······ Black Sheep ······ Devil's Bag······· The gift of the devil, at the cost of the soul······ Contract?"

“Kontrakto。 (Contract) Zhou Feiyu said the answer.

Zhou Feiyu thought about this, confirmed it a few times, and said the answer he thought he had, Zhou Feiyu didn't have any pressure.

His plan no longer relies on the assistance of the black market, it is just an intention to be "free".

But it is impossible to say that he is not nervous, because it is about how much his knowledge is applicable in this world.

Because even if he is now helped by the black market, he escapes from the town, and uses his imaginary enemy Owen to let the puppet come to him, and he will be caught up in less than two days.

And even if you don't catch yourself, with your own personality, you will definitely not be just an ordinary office worker, you must do your best, so it is very likely that you will meet Owen again, and it will not be good if you are caught by Owen and have a handle.

As time passed, the slate gradually changed, the words on the slate slowly disappeared, and the slate slowly recessed back into the wall, followed by a sound of mechanism, dense and unpleasant to hear.

The old man smiled slightly: "Congratulations on answering the first question correctly." ”

Zhou Feiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but now is not the time to be happy, because there are still two tests waiting for Zhou Feiyu in the back, and he can't be careless at this time.

The old man placed his hand on the stone slab embedded in the wall, and the stone slab slowly recessed in. Then the wall slowly rose, revealing something hidden behind the stone slab, it was a secret passage, a secret passage leading to the ground, and the yin wind slowly poured towards Zhou Feiyu from the entrance, and Zhou Feiyu felt it.

"Wet······ It's normal for the underground passage to be damp, but it's too damp, I'm afraid it's the underground link to the sewer, is there already a sewer in this era?" Zhou Feiyu silently calculated in his heart.

The old man seemed to see Zhou Feiyu's condition, and immediately bowed and began to explain. But there seems to be some misunderstanding.

"Dear Mr. Corona, there are two more tests next, if you want to give up, you can give up, I said three tests before for a reason, we are different from other black markets, we are more like an association, and the association naturally has a subordinate and subordinate level, according to the number of tests to determine the status of the Crescent Society.

"From the 1st level peripheral members who passed the first entrance examination to the 3rd level executive officers, they can be promoted through the entrance test, but don't worry, even the peripheral members can be promoted if they have enough performance. ”

"But again, I want to remind you that if well, I mean the penalty for getting a question wrong is very severe. So it's okay for you to give up the next two tests now and become a peripheral member. Of course, there are also opportunities for promotion for peripheral members. ”

Zhou Feiyu nodded and made a measure in his heart.

"If you die here, it's all over, but even if I become a peripheral member, the benefits I can get are very small. ”

"And after I escaped, in order to ensure that I have a status and not be auctioned off like before, I need more than just the status of a peripheral member. ”

With a verdict, Zhou Feiyu walked into the dark passage.

The old man seemed to understand the meaning, picked up a chandelier and walked in front of Zhou Feiyu to lead the way. The secret passage is so narrow and dark that two people are not allowed to walk side by side at all. Zhou Feiyu was cautious and let the old man walk in front and follow behind, and the distance was also very accurate, this distance was just the distance that could attack the old man by taking a step forward, and keeping this distance was to prevent the old man from suddenly turning around and attacking.

After walking for nearly 5 minutes, the passage widened a lot, and a stone wall blocked the way of the two. And Zhou Feiyu faintly heard the sound of running water.

The stone wall also seemed to sense the arrival of the two, and red words gradually appeared on the wall.

Zhou Feiyu looked at the words on the wall, this is another riddle, Zhou Feiyu didn't talk nonsense and looked at the topic directly.

"A man died, a spineless man, too lazy to bury him in the grave. The head rolled under the bed, and the limbs were scattered around the room. The words take up about a third of the wall.

The old man smiled, "There are two answers to this riddle, and if you want to take the third test, a different third test will appear according to your answers. ”

Zhou Feiyu nodded and began to solve the riddle: "The spineless man, his head rolled under the bed, and his limbs were scattered······ Intentional murder by others······ Too lazy to bury it in the grave, why don't you bury it for others to see······ What is the identity of this person······ Traitor?And betrayal is trust, that is to say, the answer to this puzzle is traitor or trust, and according to his prompt, traitor and trust should be two different tests, traitor should be directly guessed by many people, and I am in a special situation now, I don't know what I will encounter in the future, it is risky to rush to become a high-level organization, but everything must be able to escape from Owen's control. ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Feiyu replied without hesitation: "Trust." ”

The old man seemed a little shocked when he heard the answer, and then immediately returned to his normal expression.

"It seems that you have chosen the path of trust, please come with me. ”

The old man pressed a few dark squares on the wall, and the wall did not open, but opened another secret passage to the right of the place where the two of them were standing.

The old man still led the way in front.

Zhou Feiyu also followed the old man in. After walking for a minute, Zhou Feiyu suddenly said a word.

"I said, old man, if you want to hurt me, you shouldn't bring me in, you know. ”

"Hahaha, the pro is really joking, how dare I. ”

"Why don't you dare? Isn't this puzzle designed to kill the invaders?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"There are three things you don't get along. Do you need me to say it?" Zhou Feiyu slowly followed behind the old man, not panicking at all.

"Please let me know. ”

"Alas, one of them, you are a professional, if I guessed correctly, it should be a martial artist, as the owner of the material store, it is normal for you to have calluses in the palm of your hand, but have you ever seen that wrought iron hand with calluses on the back?"

"Oops, that's ·····" The old man was still smiling.

"Second, I'm afraid it's a trap you're taking me away, first of all, the moment you open the passage, I can feel the obvious dampness, which means that your so-called 'branch' or 'headquarters' must be with the underground water of the city, and this road, I can smell the musty smell that can only be produced by the completely unventilated, think of someone who can have this great project under the baron's eyelids, and of course let me fart if you have collusion with the local lords. Wouldn't it be possible to ventilate such a big project?"

"Thirdly, and most importantly, to sum up the above two points, if you bring in someone who doesn't know me at all, ordinary members won't have this kind of courage, because if I am a spy and the introducer is discovered, I am afraid that I will also suffer, and the expulsion is light, and if it is serious, it may be clicked directly. Isn't that right?"

"You're really ······ Thoughtful, but I think you seem to have offended someone who wants to find a backer in a hurry, and if the backer is not big enough, you may turn back at any time, so we don't need a member like you in the Crescent Society. But it's nothing, you're already a dead man when you come here. ”

It's not interesting to be poked and pretend to be garlic, and the old man is certainly not the kind of person who has a dead face.

"You mean the mechanism in the wall, and why hasn't it been triggered yet? Do you really think it's in disrepair?"

"What·····" The old man looked back at Zhou Feiyu with wide eyes, Zhou Feiyu took out his hand from behind his back, and his hand was entangled with electricity.

"I haven't seen it, it's called electromagnetism, you stupid hat. ”
