In the steaming basement, the three of us had just stepped down the stairs when we smelled a strong spicy smell.

Hu Xiaojiu sniffed, and immediately became energetic, and I also saw her sucking saliva.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked in a cold voice, but no one answered me.

Half an hour ago, the three of us had just left the ocean trade after work, when we saw the same strong men who had blocked us before, but this time they were obviously disguised, asked us if we had made any mistakes, and said that they would take us somewhere.

Of course, it is impossible for a few of us to let down our guard against these strong men, but we also know that they can't help us at all, so we can leave with them with confidence.

This walk took us directly to a house in the suburbs, and when we entered, we pulled down the planks and told us that there was a basement.

After the strong men took the lead, the three of us followed.

Seriously, it's literally two environments above and below.

The above house lacks bricks and tiles, and it is estimated that it can't even shelter from the wind and rain, and this basement has a wide view, and there should be, except for no windows, the vision is dim, and other equipment is readily available.

If I'm not mistaken, there's a slot machine stacked in the corner.

I certainly can't simply assume that they brought us here to treat us to a meal, and that there must have been some other purpose.

After the three of us stopped, we saw several hot pot racks on the long table in front of us, and the red oil in them had been tumbling, but no one added vegetables and meat to the hot pot, and they all stared at us.

I calculated carefully, not to mention a hundred people, not only strong men like them, but also old and young women and children, as if the whole family was nested in this dim basement.

"Let me ask you, do you still count what you said before?" One of the strong men spoke in a deep voice, clenching his fists, as if he had made up his mind a lot, before he opened his mouth to ask this sentence.

I could tell that they couldn't find us, so they decided to take a risk.

However, they were clever and did not unite other forces that opposed ocean trade, as previously said.

Or, in other words, the forces of the entire fishing city that dare to oppose the ocean trade have become fewer and fewer, so that they are in a hurry and cannot even find an alliance.

And we may be their worst and most helpless choice.

"Of course it counts." I nodded, looked at everyone around me, strode over to the long table amid Xu Youqiang's stop, and threw a piece of meat into the tumbling red oil.

"If you want to do anything, just say it, if we can help, we will naturally help, and you should also know our current position, it is absolutely impossible to expose yourself."

"Don't worry." The strong man said in a deep voice, "Since it is an alliance, we will definitely not let you take risks, we only need to know the next plan for ocean trade." ”

"What do you want to do?" I raised my eyebrows, a little curious.

Although it is said that it is for ocean trade, there should always be a complete plan, and if it is hot to shave the head, then there is no need for me to waste time on them, we also have our own things to do.

"We've let go of all the spirits we want to capture in ocean trade."

As the strong man spoke, his eyes turned red.

"Release all the spirits that have been caught, and as for the ghosts who have become treasures, they will all be exceeded, and send them back to where they should be, in short, we can't let the ocean trade continue to make money by this means!"

The strong man's voice was sonorous, and his voice was filled with abhorrence at the way the ocean trade had been, even more indignant than when we first met.

It seems that during this time, something unexpected happened to us.

"Strange." Hu Xiaojiu was behind me, suddenly muttered, tugged at my sleeve, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in my ear, "There is a very strong demonic aura in this room, when I first came in just now, I could only smell the spicy smell, and now I react." ”

Demonic? I stretched out my hand and calculated, and my heart was shocked.

Hu Xiaojiu is right, there is indeed a very powerful demonic aura in this room.

We didn't feel it before, because when we first came down, we could only smell the smell of hot pot all over the basement, and it seems that the reason why they made this spicy hot pot was also to blind our sense of smell.

This group of people is really interesting.

"Of course you can, but you should reveal your identity, right? We don't work with unidentified people, and if you want to work with us while hiding your true identity, sorry, I can't accept that. ”

I snapped my fingers at Hu Xiaojiu and Xu Youqiang and was about to leave, but only then did the strong man grit his teeth and speak: "Since you all feel it, what's the point of asking for verification from us?" ”

I paused, and sure enough, these people were not human.

No, or most of them are not people.

A group of women and children who used to sit on the chairs now stand up slowly, allowing us to see the whole picture.

In the area where the demonic spirit was heavy, everyone had some injuries on their bodies, either missing arms or short legs, and only those strong men stood unharmed.

"You should have seen that, too." The strong man pointed at them and gritted his teeth, "They were originally spirits, and they lived well in this city, but because of the emergence of ocean trade, they had to be arrested!" These are also things that we desperately saved them, but they are still one step slower. ”

In the strong man's crying voice, we knew what happened.

Since the emergence of ocean trade, the underground industrial chain of fishing cities has been gradually unified.

Their first target was these spirits.

When there are no ghosts to catch, they will find the places where these spirits are, catch them, beat them back to their original form, and then cast a spell on them and sell them as slaves to some rich people for their amusement.

This situation is relatively good, and the ocean trade is even worse, which is to extract all the bone marrow from some spirits and sell them on the black market.

In their minds, there is no need for these spirits to live, and the only value of existence is to create wealth for them. These spirits are also human beings, and even if they come to live in the city, they have never harmed anyone, and some of them are even my elementary school teachers! ”

The strong man was a man with iron bones, and he actually cried in front of us.

"Ocean trade doesn't care whether they are evil or good, and their minds are full of these spirits are not people, but just tools for them to make money, and they are hunted and killed!"

"Originally, this fishing city was peaceful, and people wanted to get along harmoniously, but because of the emergence of this ocean-going trade, all this became a bubble!"

The roar of the strong man could not be dispersed for a long time in the space of this basement.
