"The second rule of the rat black market is that you can scold the king, you can beat the king, and you can even the king, but you must respect the managers of the black market."

"The third rule of the black market is that you can not obey the laws of any country, but you must follow the rules in the black market."

"The fourth rule of the rat black market is that it is forbidden to carry out criminal activities such as murder, arson, robbery, fraud, extortion and other (see the details for details) in the black market, and you must do it."

"The fifth rule of the rat black market is that you have no regrets, and you will make and lose money after you have lost money."

"The Sixth Rule of the Rat Black Market......"

The bespectacled Augustus spoke in a flat tone like an old professor about the incomparably numerous rules of the mouse black market, the good student Alice was listening curiously, and the bad student Zhang Dacai felt that he was about to be hypnotized. I didn't expect that after graduating from college, I would have a day to attend classes, and the reasons for attending classes and the places where I attended classes were so subtle.

The place where the three of them are now located is deep underground in the tavern, a small dark room with only a torch as the only source of light. They entered a narrow and dark spiral path through a secret door in a converted liquor warehouse in the basement, and then followed the path for about a kilometer to reach the place. And what made Zhang Dacai have to sigh is that God knows how long it took this strong man to dig down when he built the house to make such a hidden place, and even the air here has an old musty smell!

The reason why Zhang Dacai and the others stayed in this small dark room for class was naturally not for no reason, but everything had to start 20 minutes ago.

……

"Anyway, it's still very early before my business hours, so I might as well send you over first." Augustus sighed and stuffed the ten golden dragons he had received into his pocket, then grabbed his empty glass and turned away, "Follow me." ”

The momentum that he originally made Zhang Dacai feel avoided disappeared at this moment of turning, and the speed of change made Zhang Dacai not only almost think that everything before was just his illusion, as if that momentum had never appeared, or even existed, but Zhang Dacai and Alice glanced at each other and found that the other party's eyes also had the same doubts as himself. It wasn't just him who felt Augustus's momentum before, Alice felt it too, and in the same way, now it wasn't just him who sensed the disappearance of that momentum, but Alice also noticed it.

The change in Augustus was drastic and abrupt, and to take a less apt example, witnessing Zhang Dacai was like seeing a living super-giant become the Hoover classmate with the same name as the president of a certain hopeful country before his eyes. He seemed to have passed his youth and middle age in an instant, directly from a flamboyant prime of life to a twilight old man, and even the slightly lonely back seemed to be muttering something in a low voice.

"Isn't this uncle going to be 'lonely?' , why did you suddenly make it so sad? Zhang Dacai followed behind Augustus and whispered to Alice. And Alice's expression changed a few times, and she just looked at Augustus's back and shook her head.

"You're the first guests I've received since I arrived in this town." Augustus stopped in front of a wooden door that read 'The warehouse is heavy, no idlers can enter', turned his head to look at Zhang Dacai and Alice, smiled, and then turned around again to open the door, "Usually some bear children try to contact me in that way after reading a few books, but when they know that I was really a mouse, they run away in fear. Hehe, I'm not going to eat them again, it's a special. ”

Zhang Dacai really wanted to remind this strong man that if a few adults came to see his figure, he might not be afraid, let alone children. However, the current atmosphere was really not suitable for talking about this, so he said nothing in his amusement.

After the wooden door opened, a gentle staircase appeared in front of several people, and after going down the staircase, they arrived at the wine warehouse of Augustus, which was generally not much different from an ordinary basement, except that it was probably transformed by Augustus, so it was much more spacious. Dozens of oversized barrels are lined up on wooden shelves, neatly stacked, and the intoxicating smell is very strong, and when you look closely, you always feel a little lacking in cleanliness, but you don't see anything particularly special.

"Do you tell me about anyone who does that? I was curious, so I came to look for the mouse, and I found it, and I was scared away again! Aren't you saying this special code is sick? Augustus smiled wryly and his gaze flickered between Zhang Dacai and Alice twice, then shook his head and unscrewed the faucet on a wooden barrel to fill himself with a glass. He tilted his neck and drank the ale in the cup, and then looked at Zhang Dacai and burped comfortably: "Hiccup...... How can anyone do that? You say, don't you? ”

Zhang Dacai and Alice exchanged a puzzled look, obviously not knowing what happened to the strong man suddenly, but then Zhang Dacai still scratched his head and looked at Augustus with an embarrassed face: "Yes, yes, what you said is that they are really too much." ”

"Right! It's excessive! Augustus slapped the barrel excitedly, but then he was disappointed again, "But they are good boys, hey." ”

The confusion in Zhang Dacai and Alice's eyes became more and more serious, thinking what this uncle wants to say, why don't you just say it directly, a good old man, don't be so cold and autumn, okay?! At this time, Augustus was lying on the ground, as if looking for something between several barrels.

Just when Zhang Dacai was about to ask if he wanted to help, he suddenly heard a crisp 'click' from somewhere in the room, followed by a dull sound of gears turning, and then there was suddenly a one-person-sized doorway on a row of wine racks that was originally against the wall.

Zhang Dacai and Alice immediately followed after one look, and their eyes exuded a kind of excited curiosity. If it weren't for the sake of remaining reserved, these two out-of-tune guys would have jumped up and down with excitement. And at this moment, even if they didn't dance with their hands, the hearts of the two of them still shouted loudly in unison, what a classic mechanism! It's like seeing an idol's brainless fan.

Behind the secret door is a spiraling passage, this passage has not been visited for a long time, cobwebs, if someone with arachnophobia comes here, I am afraid that they can be scared out of half their lives without going deep into it. Although it was still a good afternoon outside, the only light source in the entire secret passage was the torch in Augustus' hand, but fortunately, there seemed to be only one direction in this passage, and Zhang Dacai and Alice did not dare to lag behind at all, so there was no danger along the way.

During the whole process, Augustus didn't say a word for some reason, and even Zhang Dacai and Alice felt that this might be a very serious ritual, so they didn't dare to say a word. The three of them did not know how long they had been in the passage, but after a few minutes or ten minutes, the terrain finally changed from a gentle slope to a completely flat ground, and when they stopped, a heavy metal gate was lined up in front of Zhang Dacai and the others, and when Augustus inserted the torch into a ring on the door, the gate slowly opened.

If it weren't for the sake of remaining reserved, Zhang Dacai and Alice would have jumped up excitedly at this moment, and even if they didn't dance at this moment, the hearts of the two of them still shouted loudly in their hearts, what a classic mechanism! It's like a weak girl who has seen a cockroach.

"It's good that there are only two of you." Augustus said as he walked through the door without looking back, and then he pulled the mechanism hidden somewhere again, and spat out a box from the wall on one side, "I brought two mouse skins with me when I came here, and you all happened to have one for each of you." ”

The contents of the box were two black robes, but when Zhang Dacai and Alice took them from Augustus, they realized that they were not so much robes as large sheets, and the whole robe was not cut at all, but a large piece of black cloth with a stone mask inlaid in the center. If it weren't for the fact that the mask looked devoid of visual features, Zhang Dacai would probably be able to think about what his future stand-in envoy should have.

"There's a special kind of magic imprisoned on the rat's skin.,After going to the black market, the mask on it will randomly change into another appearance.,As long as the number of people doesn't exceed the upper limit of the preset type.,Generally speaking, there will be no duplication of masks.,So the first thing after passing is to remember the appearance of your companion's mask.。 Remember never to take off the mouse skin, whether it is your own or someone else's, don't take it off, you will die. Augustus' serious gaze flickered around Zhang Dacai and Alice twice, and then he took out a cage from another box and handed it to Alice. The cage contained a strangely shaped creature, its body swollen like a full-blown ball, its skin was almost taut, very disgusting, and its head, tail and limbs were short and small, completely disproportionate to its body, "You take this mouse with you, and someone will receive you after it passes, give the mouse to him, and the other party will know that you are here to do business." ”

it! Zhang Dacai looked at the silent little animal in the cage with a shocked face, and suddenly found that there were two places on its back that were constantly opening and closing like fish gills, and these two gills were one left and one right, like the Chinese character 'eight'. To put it simply, this mouse is very similar to the mouse drawn by Alice, except for the difference due to Alice's limited drawing skills, there should be no fundamental difference. Zhang Dacai's face is black, the special code of the rat in this world actually looks like this? Can you believe it?

"Alright, it's time for you to give you everything." Augustus took out a pair of black-rimmed glasses out of nowhere and put them on his face, then looked at Zhang Dacai and Alice and grinned, "Now I have to teach you some rules about the rat black market." ”

So there was the opening scene.
