Section 162 Ghost Land
(6.7 First Update)
Leaving the gathering area of wanderers, the defiled air outside can feel a little clean, at least the stench has been removed.
"Where are we going next?"
Xiao Yi, who was jumping in front of me, led the way forward, and turned back to ask me about the end of the stay.
"According to the old president, the No. 5 shop located in the Carniro neighborhood is secretly operating all kinds of illegal transactions, and the mysterious manipulator behind the scenes may provide corresponding clues."
"Carl Niro Street, Carl Niro,"
Xiao Yi muttered repeatedly, with a thoughtful seriousness, as if he had seen through some obstacles.
"Ha, do you have an impression of this place?"
"Well, not at all! It's just that finding an unfamiliar place is a little tricky for Bell! ”
Xiao Yi began to play tricks on my direction and IQ again, and the old president's chaotic guidance, I even questioned his awareness of geographical location.
Following Xiao Yi, shuttling through all kinds of messy streets and alleys, the brand-new building complex, before it was repeated, ended the rhythm of the habit.
On a long pole, the flag of the division of the region fluttered, and Carniro was clearly engraved in the air.
"Great, so you can find the end, any tricks?"
"Shhhh
The little girl who was praised was a little shy, covered her face and continued to walk ahead, no longer revealing my scars.
"The elopement of the tsundere at such a young age can't help but remind me of that impulsive youth!"
A lonely old man in the shade of greenery, tugging at the slender branches, reminiscing about the restlessness of the past.
"Ahem, it's a bit off-topic. I'm Henson, a cross-regional prosecutor, looking at the costumes of the two, how could a noble status come to the vulgar chaos district? ”
Henson's flattering words questioned the intent to break in, the cunning fox with piercing eyes.
"If we're just traveling to get lost, can this reason soothe your anxiety?"
I deliberately made up the most outrageous reason, and a smile appeared on Henson's lips, but it was embarrassing.
"Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to continue to hide. Although I don't know your identity, my cold temperament gives me the chill of instinctive refusal, this is a high-incidence area of all kinds of crimes, and there are many crises. ”
Henson lowered his gloomy face, trying to create some oppressive atmosphere, but was laughed at by himself who was not firm enough.
"It's okay, Bell will protect me!"
Xiao Yi looked at me firmly, clasped my arm tightly, and then nodded to Henson.
"I think you two have misunderstood me, and I'm not organizing a normal adventure, but I'm reminding you of the fears that surround me. Drug trafficking, smuggling, and group beatings are all labels in this area. ”
Henson's excuses are more like inconsistent rebuttals.
"But it seems that there are no crimes in the quiet streets that you have listed!"
Xiao Yi pointed to the spotless and clean neighborhood, looked from a distance, and saw no lurking traps.
"The two of you must have misunderstood my hint, human trafficking is also a feature here, especially aristocratic families, and it is the first choice for extortion and kidnapping.
What kind of lies is Henson still using to define the fictional world, for high-IQ crimes, kidnapping tickets is almost the stupidest choice, and even more so provoking the powerful.
"Oh, then don't offer a ransom, maybe still survive."
"Hey, that's, it's not, it's a misunderstanding"
Henson is still talking about all kinds of evils behind him, but he can't make up the reason for the deception, and at the moment he is probably discouraged by his own disillusionment in wisdom.
"Bell, is Mr. Henson targeting us? He doesn't seem to be happy to receive intruders. ”
Xiao Yi was relaxed, without the slightest fear, but he failed to see through Henson's attempt.
"Maybe it's fixed surveillance, remember the old leader's summary of this area?"
"Manipulators hiding behind the smoke of gunpowder, free zones of wanton indulgence."
"Since it is a special area that is sheltered, it is necessary to keep in touch with various political groups. Mr. Henson is supposed to be employed by a clan, fearing that the inflow of money from competitors would undermine the original rules of competition. Clearly, he was misinterpreting. ”
The lively streets, the horse-drawn carriages of the trade shuttle back and forth, the busy crowd carrying goods, and the children playing playing, a thriving and harmonious scene.
"Store No. 5, Store No. 5"
I had surrounded half of the city, but I still couldn't locate my destination, and I began to wonder if I had passed by.
"There it is!"
Xiao Yi ran up with me and pointed to the sign of the store not far away, which turned out to be just the name of the store.
Close to the closer, it was a shop dealing in medicines, which couldn't help but make me a little sleepy. The dazzling array of medicinal herbs made me even more tired.
"Is the store manager there?"
Xiao Yi didn't delay and went straight to the point, asking the young man dressed as a waiter about the store manager.
"I'm the store manager, what can I do for you?"
"The king of smuggling banned drugs turned out to be a young man, maybe this is a disguise to escape suspicion."
The store manager smiled awkwardly, his sharp teeth exuding a vicious aura, and he hid a knife in his smile.
"Hehe, what are you talking about, I don't really understand, why don't you go to the backyard and talk in detail!"
Accepting the invitation of the store manager, we walked through the corridor to the wide courtyard, simple and elegant.
"Who are the two of you?"
The store manager is still curious about unfamiliar faces who have no relevant memories, and the embankment is a prerequisite for illegal trade.
"My identity doesn't matter, I'm just accepting the commission of the Chengbei Wandering President to come and consult some questions."
"Oh, I see, no wonder I can see through my hidden identity, a smuggler wanted by the government. Since he is a friend of the president, he is someone he can trust, and if I knew it, I would tell the truth. ”
The store manager restrained his presumptuous defense, and the network of people was the basis for him to maintain business, and brought two glasses of juice and placed them on the stone table.
"Thank you for your trust, then I'll get straight to the point. The supply of medicines to General Vic's 6th Corps is your responsibility. ”
The manager twitched his cheeks slightly, but quickly adapted to the rhythm and was very calm.
"When it comes to General Vic, your status should not be underestimated, so I should provide a thoughtful and detailed service. Yes, the logistics of the Sixth Corps, I am responsible for the output. ”
"Can you tell us about the yield?"
"Of course, that's an open secret. Each shipment is three or four times the daily cost of the barracks, and the urging is very urgent, probably to expand the source of epidemic prevention and the like, I don't dare to ask about the specific situation. ”
The store manager's statement is still within the scope of my expectations, and stockpiling medicines to prepare for emergencies is the basis for preparation.
"In addition to medicines, military supplies are also under your control!"
"Well, communication with smart people always doesn't need to be concealed, indeed, the armor swords and arrows are all in charge of the transfer. Speaking of which, it has caused me a lot of trouble recently, especially the batch of goods a few days ago, which is enough to expand a corps, plus the previous successive supplies, which is five or six times the base supply. ”
The store manager frowned at the moment, and began to question the requirements of some large scale.
"Oh? Since it is based on the base payment, you should be excited, after all, the abundant supply will not lead to the embarrassment of out of stock. ”
"Since it is smuggling, the source of goods comes from the Cologne Empire, and their supplies are almost inexhaustible. But the vague worry seemed to subconsciously make me doubt General Vic. ”
"Suspect what?"
"Whether he resells my ordnance again is a felony, and once the East Window incident implicates me, the situation is no longer optimistic, and the life of exile may begin."
"Maybe Mr. Store Manager will have to pack up his belongings and flee now!"
After drinking the juice, Xiao Yi handed me another glass and continued the conversation.
"What does this young lady mean?"
The store manager was a little panicked, but he pretended to be calm, and his trembling fingers had betrayed him.
"General Vic has absconded because of the mutiny, according to your thinking, some kind of government agency will frantically pounce on the implicated, the pursuit of clues, the soldiers who arrested you may already be on the way."
"Mutiny?!"
The store manager questioned some unbelievable remarks, and seemed to be blinded, until Xiao Yi showed Vic's wanted warrant, and he woke up like a dream.
"In some of the core ghost areas, the government has started to hunt down a type of related person, even the officials in power, and they have been hunted down, so your situation is not good, but very critical."
"Ghosting Land?"
The store manager didn't quite understand Xiaoyi's words, so he could only rely on the use of words to get more detailed information.
"Well, even if you are wandering at the junction of darkness and light, it is also a sensitive area, even if you are innocent, you can clean it by the way!"
"I see, thank you two for reminding me, I'm going to smuggle away!"
The shopkeeper rushed into the inner room, simply packed up his bags, and left the shop with us, halfway through, the sound of burly horses' hooves and neat troops.
It came so fast. (To be continued.) )
