"Master, he passed away two years ago."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, it dissipated with the smoke ring spit out by Uncle Ghost: "Yes." I thought he would live longer. ”

"It seems that after being stabbed in the lung, the situation has not been optimistic." Uncle Ghost muttered, his flat tone was neither surprised nor emotional—if you are hungry, you should eat, and if you are seriously injured, you will die—such a thing is as normal as breathing, and it doesn't seem to be worth talking about, but he took another deep puff of cigarette, as if it had used a lot of force.

Qing Yu looked at him and mentioned Master's death, as indifferent as him: "Master's lungs have always been bad, and then he coughed very badly, and he often has asthma and can't breathe." When I died, I was on a mission and couldn't give him his last ride. ”

"Did he die peacefully?"

"No, I've heard it's painful."

……

The emotionless conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and the grief was frozen in the musty air with the coldness characteristic of a mercenary. The underground corridor was cold and damp, and only the cigarette pipe in Uncle Ghost's hand still had sporadic heat.

After a long silence, Uncle Ghost looked at Qing Yu's saber: "This mass, he still passed it to you a little girl." ”

"Don't laugh at me, I'm far worse than Master." Qing Yu lowered her eyes slightly, and when she touched the hilt of the knife, her indifferent eyes finally filled with a little sadness, proving that she was still a flesh and blood person, not an executioner who only understood tasks and interests.

Uncle Ghost saw the lucky bag hanging on the handle of the knife, and never thought that one day, such a sharp weapon for killing people could become so cute. However, this also happens to show that Mass is already something that belongs to this girl.

As if announcing the end of the old days, the long copper pipe slammed upside down on the bench and knocked a few times.

When the tobacco dust fell to the ground, the old man's eyes fell on Gu Nanyi: "Two acquaintances who haven't been seen for a long time came all of a sudden, and they came together, today is really a strange day." ”

"Gu Nanyi, Qingyu's master is my brother who worships the master, so she barely counts me as half an apprentice, and she doesn't worry about it empty-handed. But you, who haven't shown up for more than two years, dare to be empty-handed and don't even bring a pot of wine? ”

Gu Nanyi, a celebrity in the intelligence community, almost no one on the road knows his name, but only a handful know his appearance. Behind the old iron gate under this warehouse, there is the largest black market in the entire Lanwan jurisdiction, and it is not surprising that Gu Nanyi has been here, but he is also an acquaintance of Uncle Ghost, which makes Qing Yu a little surprised.

"I'm probably about the same age as Light Feather, and I'm still her financier, and I've hired her as a bodyguard. You are an old half-apprentice, and the charges are really dark to the extreme. For this sake, forgive me for coming empty-handed this time, right? Besides, she didn't say she was going to be here beforehand, so I really didn't have time to prepare. ”

Gu Nan greeted people with a smile, but Uncle Ghost dismantled the stage without giving faces: "Don't talk nonsense." I haven't shown up for two years, and I disappeared on the road, saying that something happened to you and you hid with your tail between your legs. I look at you now, it really looks like you've fallen into a pit. ”

"Look at what you said, do you always believe those crazy words on the road?" Gu Nanyi shook his head, as if he had heard a joke, "I, Gu Nanyi, have always been thoughtful in doing things, and no one will speak ill of me behind my back one day?" ”

"Oh?" Uncle Ghost sneered, looking at him with a little contempt, and wanted to say something more, but stopped in the face of Qing Yu.

"Well, I've been washing my hands for so many years, so it's better to leave your business alone." As he spoke, he got up and removed the mouthpiece of the pipe, and behind the mouthpiece was the key to the iron door. With a piercing creak, the old and heavy iron door slowly opened the crack, and inside was a black field that could not be reached:

"Girl, listen to Uncle Ghost's advice. Men are not good things, especially Gu Nanyi, a cunning fox. None of the 100 sentences he said were true. ”

Saying this kind of thing in front of Gu Nan and others, Uncle Ghost's character is bad enough, and even if he doesn't say it, Qing Yu knows it. It's just that now listening to the meaning of this, it's obvious that Uncle Ghost has misunderstood something.

"Uncle Ghost, it's not what you think, I'm just ...... with him"

"Coming away, what's the nonsense?" Gu Nan was so bad that he deliberately didn't let her explain, and gently pushed her behind her back and sent her into the door first. When he entered, he glanced back at Uncle Ghost:

"Old man, as far as our friendship is concerned, you have gone too far today."

"You came empty-handed, and you still don't let people tell the truth?" Uncle Ghost rolled his eyes with disdain, and closed the door without hesitation.

Behind the iron gate, the passage was pitch black.

When Qing Yu and Master came together three years ago, there was no such passage, presumably something happened after that caused the entrance of the black market to change its location, and this is where it is now.

However, even in such a narrow place, the footsteps of the two were very soft—whether they were mixed up on the road or not, you could tell from the habit of walking alone.

"It's the first time I've heard that mercenaries also have masters." Gu Nanyi pulled up the routine, but Qing Yu didn't plan to talk to him about himself.

asked rhetorically: "I also just knew, it turns out that you are so familiar with Uncle Ghost." ”

"Him?" Gu Nan smiled, "That old man is more cunning than a loach, but he is not a good person." The little thing between me and him is a bad fate, so don't mention it. ”

"According to your tone, you should know who Uncle Ghost is, right?" Qing Yu asked one question after another, just because he was too defensive about this man, and because he was curious. I wonder if he really has no impression of the gun without forgiveness.

Or, Qing Yu is too persistent and can't easily let go of this suspense, hoping to learn more about Gu Nanyi's past. If the man doesn't have too many secrets, giving up is simple. But the reality is just so troublesome, it always makes people stuck in the unclear muddy and unable to get out.

People like Gu Nanyi, no matter what kind of news they are, basically can't escape his ears and eyes. What's the deal with just a ghost uncle?

Don't look at him now he is just an old man guarding the door and smoking, many years ago, the name of the number one killer: Ghost Shadow was terrifying on the road, but later, he lost to Qingyu's master, and since then he has washed his hands and quit the rivers and lakes.

The reason for the ghost's sudden retreat has always been an unsolvable mystery on the road, including Gu Nanyi.

Qingyu's master has always been low-key, his name is unknown, it is normal for people on the road not to know him, and the master does not want to be famous, so the matter between him and Uncle Ghost has always been kept secret by Qingyu. Now talking about Uncle Ghost's past, Gu Nanyi really asked:

"I've seen the old man make a move, he's pretty powerful, and he's not a stranger. With his skills, it was too early to retire twenty years ago, since he is half of your master, do you know the reason behind it? ”

"If you're asking me for information right now, please take a look at your sincerity first." Qing Yu was cold, stopped, and stretched out his hand to beg for money.

No matter how dark it was, Gu Nanyi could guess this woman's movements at the moment, and he was really a little afraid of this action, so he hurriedly pretended to be stupid and continued to walk forward: "Then keep it for now, someone will bid to buy this information in the future, and then look for you." ”

"Your business cultivation is really good." Qing Yu sneered, was silent for a moment, and suddenly changed the topic, "I've been listening to others talk about the secret service all the way today, don't you have any opinions?" ”

"What can I think. Isn't it just that the government has now set up an extra department? They've always had a headache with the Adepts, and it's no surprise that they're doing anything. Gu Nanyi's reaction was very bland, but for an intelligence businessman like him, such a blandness was really abnormal.

The appearance of the Secret Service is definitely a big deal, especially since Gu Nanyi also knows the secrets on the Gold Hunter. Maybe the supernatural recruited by the secret service will be sent to the Gold Hunt after that, or maybe it will be used in other more terrible secrets - Qing Yu is very interested in this, and he doesn't believe that Gu Nanyi, who is the first intelligence dealer, will have such a bland reaction:

"Did you already know that you were going to set up a secret service?"

The sentence was sharp and abrupt, but Gu Nanyi received it without any flaws: "Hehe, sure enough, a woman is still a woman, even if she is a mercenary, she is still very cute in her bones." Imagination is always so rich. ”

"Can you not change the subject?"

"I don't. I really don't know about it. As you can see, I've been busy running for my life in the past two years since I disappeared, but I haven't had time to take care of my business, and in the past few years, Biluo really hasn't had any major events worth paying attention to. Isn't the Secret Service also secretly covered, if it doesn't come now, who will know? ”

The man's words were smooth, and every sentence was like a truth that had never been pondered and came open. It's just that after he finished speaking, he turned the conversation to Qing Yu again: "You are so interested in this matter, what do you want to check when you come to Biluo?" ”

Qing Yu was stunned. I thought that this guy just wanted to rely on a bodyguard to save his life, only to find out that he had also carefully scrutinized the matter of his mercenary - was it out of the habit of an intelligence businessman?

No!

As early as the gold hunting incident, this man must have investigated her in advance, and behind her was He Fu.

So is there any connection between that?

Qing Yu suddenly had a headache, not because she was stupid and not good at thinking, but because it was really tiring to complicate one thing, not to mention that Gu Nanyi might really just be casually curious. It's all because Uncle Ghost just said those words, and the harmful light feather now feels like one head has become two big.

And she has never talked much, and now she doesn't answer questions, Gu Nanyi is not surprised, and she will not waste her brains on this kind of "no one bids" intelligence, so she skipped this stubble and pointed to the front:

"The exit is here."

Walking through the dark underground passages, the crowded and chaotic black market finally appears in front of you - this was once a starship base for pre-humans, but when the disaster struck, it sank into the ground due to a massive earthquake, and the huge dome was broken, and the entire base was stuck in the mud and rocks like an upside-down broken bowl.

The generators here have long been scrapped, and the valuable things have long been taken away by the government, and the most conspicuous thing now is nothing more than the wreckage of the burned spaceship lying in the middle of the hill, which is also the most proud treasure and antique in this black market.

It seems that with its existence, the humanity here has been invisibly raised by several notches.

The dim light of the fire that does not see the light of day all year round, the sly looking and strange businessman, and the sense of calculating crisis lurking everywhere...... In Qingyu's opinion, after three years, this place has not changed at all.
