Lying on a soft goose feather cushion, Lin Sanjiu curled up a pair of long legs, and his feet pressed against the ceiling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoShe's been staying at the Lost Dog for two or three days, but even the largest room in the owner Leda Ring is still just over half a person tall.

She drew a red circle with her pen on the map of the check-in booklet, then looked at the location of the hotel, and made a zigzag line between the two.

"BLACK'S MARKET," THE SMALL HANDWRITING UNDER THE MAP READS, "ALSO KNOWN AS THE 'BLACK MARKET' - THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY BLACK MARKET IN THE WORLD WITH AN ACTUAL LOCATION!" It occupies a vast area with a lot of foot traffic, and there are a total of five exits, one next to each of the two exits, B and D. There is also a stall in the middle of the market that sells 'fried milk buns and slices of fallen seeds'. The greater the flow of people, the easier it is to find the sign-in point, because the sign-in point is two or three meters within a radius of two or three meters, and few people set foot in it, creating a vacuum in the crowd. Therefore, if you go to the vacuum zone, you can generally sign in smoothly. For a map of the check-in point, please turn to the next page. ”

In the past two days, Lin Sanjiu walked down the alley at the back door of the hotel every morning to the red brick at the entrance of the alley, patted it and walked again. She hadn't seen the mop cloth all the time, as if she had gone to squat somewhere else - maybe he knew very well that Lin Sanjiu would definitely not watch another evolutionary step into the copy and become a fat sheep.

However, if you go to Black Market, you will not be able to sign in at the hotel entrance.

"Do you want to go out?"

When Lin Sanjiu closed the door, Lida hurried over from the other side of the corridor; She stopped, and countless gold rings, sequins, and elephant ornaments jingled on her body. "Don't forget to sign in!"

Leda seems to be a little reluctant to let her accidentally step into the dungeon, and she will give a word of advice every time they meet.

"I see," Lin Sanjiu walked towards the back door with her, "I'm not coming back tonight, I want to go to Black Market to have a look." ”

"'The only thing you won't find here,' Leda nodded, "is the lack itself. ’”

"What?"

"Advertising slogans at the entrance of the black market. In the past, when I was still able to hire helpers, I used to go there to buy things...... Are you only there for one night? ”

"It depends," Lin Sanjiu stepped out of the door, "Anyway, I've already found a sign-in point." ”

"I'll try to keep your room for you." After Leda finished speaking, she swept away like a gust of wind. There are all kinds of chores in the Lost Dog Hotel every day, and the boss doesn't seem to be idle for a moment.

If the passenger's height and weight are below a certain value, they can choose to drill into the plastic tube, be wrapped in the air current, and throw it to the destination; This is the cheapest option. The most expensive option is said to be to buy a spaceship-sized "Sky Spider" and slowly cross the planet's surface in a magnificent symphony that it plays.

A person who can do such a thing may not be able to let go of his ego in heaven and earth.

After signing in, Lin Sanjiu bought a long-distance bus ticket.

She thought she had chosen the most boring mode of transportation, until the bus she was on suddenly broke down halfway under the sea. All the passengers had to pull out their wetsuits and oxygen tanks from under their seats—yes, she had to buy some on the black market this time—and pushed the door open in full gear, and walked into the dark ocean floor.

More than twenty evolutionaries pushed an old amphibious bus in disrepair and walked for more than a dozen nautical miles before finally connecting with the second bus that came to pick them up. Lin Sanjiu spent money to push the car underwater for most of the day, and by the time she got off the train at Black Market Station, it was already half dark, and even the bones were sour and cold.

One evolution after another passed by her, and gradually increased, like schools of salmon about to return against the current, gathering into a black patch in the distance of vision. Lin Sanjiu followed the flow of people for a while, and the night quickly shrouded in, and as soon as he touched the earth, he was immediately divided into countless shimmering and light pieces by the colorful streamers.

Despite its name, Black Market is the size of a city. The grand gate tower at the entrance cut off the direction of several streets; The steel glass is intertwined with the iron-gray bracket, and a faint white light flows between each geometric stagger, illuminating a one-meter-high "C" letter.

Together with hundreds of strangers, Lin Sanjiu completed the disinfection procedure of the medicinal bath and red light; With the faint smell of medicine that she had become familiar with, she was swept up by the crowd and pushed into the Black market.

Bright points of light like broken stars, cast out of nowhere, like someone knocking over a plate of snow-white diamonds in the dark blue night sky; The light slowly flowed, stirring up the undulation of breath like the waves under the moon, forming a line of words: "The only thing you won't find here is the lack itself." BLACK’S MARKET.”

Under this dream-like starry sky, the evolutionaries are often trampled on by others because they are dizzying.

The bus, which was originally expected to arrive at noon, was delayed until the evening to send the passengers to the place, which had disrupted Lin Sanjiu's plan; She bought a black market map for five small red crystals, and didn't have time to look at anything else, so she searched all the way to the sign-in point in the center of the market.

The check-in point is in Chuo District 1A, right at the intersection of four streets, at the central junction of a "m" shape. At night, the black market seems to bloom with a jewel-like vibrancy; Shops, tents, vendors, curtain promenades, bamboo-like houses...... One after the other crowded the space outside the sidewalk.

The eyes of the pedestrians on the street glittered in various lights; The heat of the body, the heat of the food, and the heat of the lights baked everyone's complexion red and sweaty. Lin Sanjiu walked and walked, and suddenly realized that the scene around him had not changed for a while; When she looked down, she realized that her feet had stopped at some point, and she was still walking in her mind. In fact, she was gathering in front of a small spherical tent with several evolutionaries, and a woman in a black veil was sitting in it drinking water to moisten her throat from the song she had just sung.

Two male evolutionaries quarreled in front of the tent, one thinking that it was natural for the black gauze woman to sing and he paid for it to sing; Another protested that the siren-like singing voice was not only very disruptive to traffic, but also a delay in other people's time - it was said that he had been attracted three times by the woman in black gauze because he was unfamiliar with the road.

"Thanks to me," Teacher Yi asked, "you see that the others haven't reacted yet." ”

Taking advantage of the argument between the two, Lin Sanjiu quickly covered his ears and walked away in three steps and two steps.

Not only were there shops selling skills and merchandise, but there was even a shop selling jokes—and when she first spotted it, she almost suspected it was a prank.

"Laugh," beckoned the shopkeeper, a lazy fat man, shaking his fan, "twenty dragons one." ”

His face was covered with stubble and his hair was sweaty; If it was his own laughter, probably a red crystal would not be worth it. However, Lin Sanjiu still walked in and asked with suspicion, "What is laughter?" How to sell? ”

"An emotion that makes people laugh involuntarily," the fat man of the shopkeeper said, taking out a small jelly-like plastic box, "it can last for hours, it's a good deal." I see that you are very needy, and you have gone through vicissitudes as soon as you see it. ”

Although they set up shop in the black market, most of these evolutionaries are not professional businessmen, so their mouths are not too sweet; Lin Sanjiu laughed while thinking about whether he should go for skin care.

"The box I recycled! You can get the money! When she went out, the fat man gave her a remonstrance.

The mop cloth has a low sense of morality, but the booklet is written very carefully; As described in the booklet, the crowd thinned out in the center of the street—like particles repelled by some force field, and one after another people stopped and reversed course, and before they stepped into the road, they moved out of the way, leaving an open space ahead. Lin Sanjiu took out the sign-in book, compared it with each other, and strode into the empty vacuum.

On a half-cut telephone pole from before the end of the day and now abandoned, there is indeed a line of small words that say "sign in here". Occasionally, one or two evolutionaries would come over and pat the telephone pole, and when their eyes met her, they both had a look of "so you too".

found the sign-in place, and Lin Sanjiu also settled down. She strolled to the shop with the sign "Fried Milk Buns and Fallen Seed Slices", where several small white and tender tofu-like pieces on the iron plate were "sizzling" in the heat, exuding a sweet smell of milk that was so rich that you could almost taste it with your tongue.

It was supposed to be a fried milk bun, and she looked around, a little glad she hadn't seen the slice of the Fallen Seed on the iron plate.

The woman wearing the mask apparently misunderstood her gaze: "I'm sorry, the slices are sold out." ”

Is there really anyone who eats the depraved seed?

"It's okay," Lin Sanjiu resisted the burst of milk aroma with his will, "I want to ask, where can I buy a house?" ”

"House?"

"I have a few friends who want to live in the Twelveth Quarter," she explained, "and I need to buy a few more houses...... There should be something for sale on the black market, right? ”

The woman wearing the mask put down the shovel in her hand, glanced at the telephone pole next to the store, and then at Lin Sanjiu.

"First time in Biluo Yellow Springs?"

"Yes."

"You need to hire a guide," she turned off the heat under the iron plate, "and will run errands, lead the way, find people, and compare prices...... When it comes to shopping, a guide can be of great help, much better than if you were to figure things out on your own. ”

Lin Sanjiu felt that what she said made sense: "Where can I hire it?" ”

"You can hire me," she looked down at a few milk packets on the iron plate, "the boss is not here today, I am in charge of closing, and I can close the shop a little earlier." If you hire me, I'll give you these fried milk packets. ”

Lin Sanjiu thought for a moment and asked, "How long have you been working here?" ”

The woman wearing the mask replied, "Five years." ”

She probably meant five years on and off -- after all, she had to change places every 14 months.

"Don't worry," the woman in the mask glanced at her, "I often work as a guide for people in private to earn a little money." Everyone around here knows me, I'm reliable, you can go and ask. ”

Lin Sanjiu was aroused, chatted with her for a while, and asked a lot of questions; She answered fluently, with a natural attitude, and seemed to be very familiar with the situation in the black market. When the two had negotiated, she turned around and found a cardboard box, put a few milk packets into it neatly, and handed it over: "Give." ”

However, Lin Sanjiu's face had changed, staring at her deadly, not only did he not take the cardboard box, but a silver whip quietly appeared in his hand.

The woman wearing the mask didn't look much surprised.

"When you turned around just now," Lin Sanjiu swept his gaze back and forth over her, and asked in a low voice, "I saw the corners of your mouth from the edge of the mask." Tell me, why do the corners of your mouth stick to the base of your ears? ”

"Because I'm a ripper girl."

The woman in the mask replied flatly: "Or should I say, this is the nickname that people gave us after seeing our type of degenerate." ”

"You're a—a degenerate?" Lin Sanjiu raised his voice suddenly, and subconsciously glanced at the passers-by with his peripheral vision; The crowd crowded past her, and no one stopped.

"My name is Layla," the Rip Girl Fallen Species pointed to the sign, "What's so strange?" Isn't it all written on the sign? ”

Lin Sanjiu glanced at "Fried Milk Bun and Slice of Fallen Seed", and then at Layla: "The meaning of Slice of Fallen and Fallen Seed, isn't it a slice of Fallen Seed?" ”

"It's a slice of the Fallen Seed," she shrugged, "and it's a slice of our type of Fallen Seed cut out by hand." Very popular, old shop. ”
