Chapter 35: The Uninvited Guest
Chen Xian saw the black liquid gushing out of the serrated blade, and subconsciously thought of the nutrient liquid that had appeared in the mental hospital.
Compared with these two black liquids, both the color texture and the smell emitted are almost identical.
"It will absorb people's essence and blood......" Chen Xian carefully observed those fine water droplets, and kept analyzing in his heart, "Could it be that these things are also sucked away by it?" ”
In the psychiatric hospital, Chen Xian was "lucky" to lie down in the nutrition cabin once, and it is very likely that most of the black liquid in the tank was absorbed by him, that is...... It is possible for him to retain a certain amount of nutrient solution in his body.
As time passed, the black droplets of water from the serrated blade began to cease, and the smell of herbs in the air disappeared for the most part.
"Ge Ye, do you know what's going on?" Chen Xian asked quietly.
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it either!" The old liar took out a gold-inlaid magnifying glass from his pocket, leaned in front of the serrated knife and studied it carefully, his face full of doubts, "I don't know much about it, and the previous masters haven't studied it thoroughly, so this may be a natural phenomenon, right?" ”
Chen Xian nodded and remained silent, and continued to observe for a while.
Although this situation was a bit weird, Chen Xian didn't feel like a bad thing, at least he didn't feel dangerous or harmful to himself, so Chen Xian decided not to waste time pondering, and instead studied how to fold the weapon and take it back.
For him, it's a big toy, and a very practical toy.
Chen Xian only hated that it was too late to meet this weapon now, and if he had met it earlier, he wouldn't have spent all that unjust money to buy a magic weapon.
Just as Chen Xian lowered his head and concentrated on fiddling with his weapon, the old liar's voice sounded faintly in his ears.
"Do you have any special feelings? For example, suddenly very pessimistic and want to commit suicide or something? ”
Chen Xian didn't speak, raised his head and glanced at the old liar.
"No? It's okay if you don't have it...... Did you see anything special? The old liar asked, "Like a black figure or something other strange?" ”
"Nope." Chen Xian replied.
The old liar was silent, or rather a little autistic.
This is really strange in the Gobi of Chitamale...... Why isn't this evil weapon evil??
It doesn't look like there is a problem with this kid, isn't he not only an insulator for religious practice, but also an insulator for evil weapons?
"Did I quote you just now?" The old liar asked suddenly.
Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instantly became vigilant: "What's wrong?" ”
"How much do I report?" The old liar pretended to have amnesia, like a poor old man with Alzheimer's, and winked at Chen Xian's innocent little eyes, "It's a thousand, right?" ”
"yes, a thousand." Chen Xian said quietly, and praised the old liar, "You have a good memory, I will transfer it to you immediately." ”
Hearing Chen Xian's answer, the old liar laughed angrily: "You son of a dog is darker than me?" ”
"Your kung fu is too good to sit on the ground, I can't do it if I'm not black." Chen Xian's face was sincere, and he said from the bottom of his heart.
The old liar's words were ten thousand dissatisfied, and his tone was unwilling, but he always had the truest smile on his face, and he seemed to feel that Chen Xian would be able to bother him less after finding the weapon in his hand, which could be regarded as the end of a major trouble.
"Yes, it's just three hundred, it's still the original price, and I won't shout to you." The old liar patted his ass and stood up, happily took out a cigarette and lit it, "If something goes wrong with this evil weapon, remember to come to me in time, don't be foolish yourself, understand?" ”
"Okay." Chen Xian nodded, carefully folded the weapon, and wrapped it tightly with the bandages with the talismans painted on it before, and then put it back in the leather box.
The old liar stood on the side and watched, looking at Chen Xian, and then at the suitcase he was carrying.
"How do I feel like this business is losing money?" The old liar muttered.
Chen Xian was relieved: "How can such a smart person as you lose." ”
"That's right." The old liar nodded, and Chen Xian's praise was still very useful, "Then let's go, go downstairs and transfer money, do I want to invoice you?" ”
"I can't report it if it's opened." Chen Xian said helplessly, "The subsidy given by the Secret Bureau does not include the purchase of personal belongings, and you don't know ...... this."
Before Chen finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound downstairs.
"What's the sound??" The old liar was also stunned by this voice, and did not even have time to think, so he hurriedly ran downstairs.
Chen Xian also looked very nervous at this moment, because there was no one else downstairs, only the girl was watching TV in the back room, and this sound might be made by her...... She won't be idle and bored and smash the front hall on the first floor, right??
That's not good!
How much do I have to pay him for the old liar's black heart?!
Thinking of this, Chen Xian was also so anxious that he chased after him with his suitcase.
It turned out that Chen Xian thought too badly of the girl, and when he ran downstairs with the old liar, the girl was still obediently staying in the back room, watching the cartoon on the TV, and the loud noise just now had nothing to do with her.
It was the sound of kicking on the door, and there were guests coming, but they weren't very polite.
"anyone?! No one answered after calling for a long time!! ”
In the antechamber stood two men and two women, both of whom looked to be young men in their early twenties.
It can be basically judged from the dress that the family conditions of these people should be good, especially the person who kicked the door of the store to say hello, the brand-name goods dressed in bells and whistles, and there is a kind of pampered arrogance on them for a long time.
"You fucking won't knock on the door? Long white hands? "The old liar is never polite when he speaks, especially when he sees that young man is so ignorant, he is so angry that he almost doesn't go over to give him a big mouth.
Can't be a man in your twenties?
How is it taught at home!
Looking at the crumbling shop door, the old liar was so distressed that he hurriedly went to the counter to find a clean rag, wiped the footprints on the door panel, and scolded in his mouth: "You little bastards, Lao Tzu's door is from Hainan Huanghuali, how much do you have to pay me for this?" ”
Hainan Huanghuali?
Chen Xian watched the old liar wipe the door in a daze, seriously doubting whether his memory was skewed, wasn't that door ordered in a furniture market three months ago? Remember the price is in the early 2000s...... Has the price of Huanghuali been reduced this year?
"Who are you scolding, little bastard?" The man who kicked the door opened his mouth, staring dangerously at the old liar, and his tone of voice carried a threatening tone, "You try to scold another one?" ”
"Hey, that's fucking weird!" The old liar's eyes widened, and he said to Chen Xian in disbelief, "Lao Tzu has lived most of his life, and I have never seen such a scolding." ”
As soon as he heard the old liar's words, Chen Xian couldn't hold back a little, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and persuaded softly.
"Ge Ye, don't worry about them, it's not like you haven't seen this kind of ignorant guest."
"That's right." The old liar nodded, thought about it and asked, "I'll let them pay 100,000 yuan, is this price reasonable?" ”
"Do you want me to speak with my conscience or with a clear conscience?" Chen Xian asked quietly.
The old liar looked at him angrily: "Then don't say it!" ”
Compared with Chen Xian's pure and watery temperament, the old liar's personality is much more irritable, and his temper is also beaten and scolded, and no one will give face, but now I see a few children who are about the same age as Chen Xian.....
Forget it, it's just ignorant, and it's not worth it to worry about them.
"100,000 lines, right?" The old liar pointed to the door of the store and asked politely, "How many people are swiping cards or transfers, cash is also fine, I don't pick." ”
"One hundred thousand? You are crazy? A young girl next to her widened her eyes and looked at the old liar in disbelief, as if she wondered if she had misheard, "How dare you charge us 100,000 for this broken door?" ”
The corners of Chen Xian's mouth twitched twice, and he leaned into the old liar's ear and said, "It's a little dark." ”
The old liar glared at Chen Xian, then turned his head to look at the girl, and said with a smile.
"Outside, this door is two thousand, and in the Yin City, this door is one hundred thousand."
"100,000 is 100,000."
The one who spoke was another young man, thinner than the strong man who kicked the door, standing behind the person in a very simple casual suit, looking very approachable with a smile on his face.
"Boss, my friend drank too much, so he was a little ignorant in front of him, I hope you don't mind." The young man said, slowly took out his wallet, took out a card from it, and politely handed it to the old liar, "100,000 or 200,000, you can look at it." ”
"Wouldn't it have been so sensible earlier?" The old liar muttered, and he was not polite, took the bank card and took the young man to the POS machine to swipe away 100,000 yuan, and he didn't ask them for a penny.
Seeing that the young man was so polite to pay the money, the other three people all looked a little reluctant, feeling like they had been cheated by an old liar, and they were a little vigilant when they even looked at Chen Xian, as if they felt that Chen Xian and the old liar were in the same group.
"Ge Ye, I'll transfer the money to you by the way."
Chen Xian also walked to the counter with a suitcase, took out his wallet from his pocket and prepared to transfer money to the old scammer.
The young man who had just finished paying the old liar saw Chen Xian coming over, so he looked at Chen Xian quietly a few times, and at the same time, his eyes drifted to the suitcase in his hand.
"Dude, this box you're carrying...... Did you just buy it here? The young man asked suddenly.
Chen Xian glanced at him and nodded.
"It's the first time we've come to Ningchuan's Yin City, and we've heard a long time ago that there is a grocery store here with a wide range of supplies, everything in the sky and on the ground, so this time we made a special trip from Shanghai to have a look." The young man smiled, his expression extremely sincere, "I don't know what your box contains, but I can feel an evil aura...... I'm genuinely interested, can you open my eyes? ”
"You want to see what's inside?" Chen Xian asked.
The young man nodded.
"That thing is evil, what's so nice about it." The old liar said a word, took the bank card from Chen Xian's hand, and handed the card back after skillfully swiping the money transfer according to the procedure, "Xiao Chen, you go back first, and I'll contact you when I'm done." ”
"Okay."
After putting away his wallet, Chen Xian went to the back room and brought the girl out.
She seemed to still want to watch TV, and while being taken out of the back room by Chen Xian's hand, she didn't forget to look back at the back room, muttering something like catching jellyfish crab roe castle.
"Ge Ye, then let's go first."
"Slow down on the road, I've already texted the little rebel and asked him to wait for you in the parking lot."
Chen Xian nodded, took the girl's hand and walked out of the shop.
In the shop, the old crook lit a cigarette and smoked it, standing behind the counter and keeping accounts, not forgetting to greet the customers.
Since it is open to do business, then everyone who comes is a guest, and the professionalism that should be there must be, and there is no money to make a bastard.
"You can take a look at it, these are all clearly priced magic weapons in the front hall, you can tell me if you want it, if you don't see it, I can take you to see something more high-end."
"Artifact?"
The young man who had talked to Chen Xian before smiled, staring intently at the door of the store, not knowing what he was thinking, and a trace of inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
"Boss Ge, we're not here to buy magic weapons."
"And what do you want to buy?" The old liar was stunned.
The young man turned around and looked at the old liar politely, and the smile on his face made people feel like a spring breeze.
"I'm trying to buy an evil weapon."
