Many years ago, I was depressed because of some things, and I lived a chaotic life every day, and for a while, I even blended into the underworld and became a tax-collecting brother in the gang, that is, the kind of people who collect protection in the TV series.

In those days, I slept in the barracks prepared by the gang for us little brothers during the day, got up in the evening to get to work, and began to go to nightclubs and other entertainment places to watch the scene as soon as twelve o'clock, and every day at dawn I would drag my drunken body back to the barracks to sleep, and the cycle continued, until one day, I met a person.

It was a rainy day, and I went to the bar with a few brothers as usual, during which I saw a young man drinking lemonade in the corner, to be honest, there are very few people who drink simply in a bar like ours, let alone this kind of lemonade, in my experience, this person is not simple.

I was very careful to talk to him, in fact, it was to ask him to buy wine, unexpectedly, he looked at me, actually handed me a business card, and wrote a line of small characters on the back of the business card, that sentence I still remember, it was written "The Xiao family, the people are not prosperous, the only seedling is one, and it does not distinguish yin and yang." ”

In this sentence, the irony is strong, especially the last sentence, not distinguishing yin and yang, it is too deceitful, I was also using the strength of the wine, picked up the stool next to me and started fighting, but the person was not afraid, flashed a few times more than my attack, and then volleyed me a business card, with a phone number on it, and an address.

It was this phone number and address that gave me my first exposure to everything in the underworld.

Now that I think about it, it was this person who brought me into this underground world and allowed me to find a way to survive, although this path was very disgraceful, but at that time, I wanted to prove to my uncle that I could live a prosperous life without the blessing of the Xiao family, so I didn't care about the nature of this way.

The next day, I went to my "steward", that is, my immediate boss, the "steward" heard that I was leaving, and stopped following him, and immediately became angry, not only let people beat me, but also asked me to hand over 100,000 yuan, I didn't have much money on me at the time, when I was in danger, the person who gave me a business card suddenly appeared, and he made a move of 200,000 cash, and then took me away.

I recuperated in his villa, and then I was told to go to the No. 5 Pier in Tianjin, and when I got there, I found that there were three other people besides me, one Pingtou, one Baijing, and one Sven.

After a month of sea voyage, I followed these three people to a strange sea area, because in this sea area, I can see some illusions almost at any time, most of these illusions are some architectural complexes, ancient and modern dynasties appear in a staggered manner, if this is a mirage, it is inevitably too much.

One of the three of them was a young man who was more Sven and said that this was the ghost domain in the West Sea, the place where the legendary kraken appeared.

We floated on the sea for three days, until one night, when the fair-looking young man said that the time was up, we began to put on deep-sea diving gear, and at the moment before entering the water, I realized that I was fighting with a group of Tufuzi, and it was a sea fight.

I don't want to repeat the process of getting into the water, but I remember that I was swimming for a long time, and finally found a large stone turtle in a place with a lot of marine life in the white sand, and then found some ruins of buildings, and we searched for them until we finally found a place that resembled a cave in a place with a lot of rocks.

I vividly remember that in addition to the fine white sand, there were many brightly colored shells scattered around the cave entrance.

Outside the entrance to the cave, the flat-headed young man asked me to stay outside, while the three of them dived down the hole.

I waited a long time until my oxygen cylinder called the police, they didn't come out, I calculated the oxygen balance, and after looking at the time, I was already pretty sure they wouldn't come up again.

After surfing the sea, I waited on the boat for two more days, the three people still did not appear, although I was not willing to return empty-handed, but there was no way, after returning to Beijing in despair, the person immediately found me, and at the same time paid me 150,000 yuan, I looked at the thick pile of banknotes on the table, my hands were shaking, and I kept scolding myself for being unproductive.

Since that incident, people have been looking for me to "go on business trips" one after another, and I have learned a lot in the time I have dealt with these Tufuzi, maybe there is such an adventurous spirit in the blood of our Xiao family, every time I encounter danger in the fight, I am the first to rush forward.

I told Zhang Yang about my past, and the gnats listened to it for a while, he thought about it, and suddenly asked me: "Then do you know what the name of that fair-looking person is?" ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, these three people are very mysterious, and most of the time I spend with them is sleeping or reading books, and they don't say much. ”

Zhang Yang seemed to care about the fair-looking young man as well, but when he heard what I said, the expression on his face immediately became silent.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and the young man named Chuan jumped down from it to report the situation to Zhang Yang, and I realized that the earthy yellow place had been opened, revealing a square entrance with a length and width of one meter.

"Let's go."

Zhang Yang threw out a rope, jumped on it, and then poked his head out of it to look at us, beckoning us to follow, while also letting the others stand by and be on standby.

After I jumped up with the grasshopper, I found that there was a dark passage on it, the width was okay, but the height was a bit miserable, and the three of us could only squat or sit in this dark passage.

Zhang Yang turned on the flashlight and looked around, it was still earthy yellow, and this color was very new, very much like it had been built not long ago.

In the innermost part of the dark grid, we found a very small box, because the material is bronze, so even if it is rusty, but the box itself is still in a sealed state, Zhang Yang took it out and handed it to me, and asked me to take this box out of the secret passage first, and then I and the grasshopper continued to walk along the secret passage.

I jumped down the secret passage with the box, and at the moment I landed, I faintly heard a crisp bell, and just as the bell disappeared, the gnats jumped down the secret passage with a very strange thing, and Zhang Yang was nowhere to be seen.

I asked the grasshopper why Zhang Yang didn't come down, and the grasshopper shook his head silently, just thinking that everyone was holding a gold medal-like thing, and said, "From now on, everyone obeys my orders, Chuan, you go to the entrance and call the eagle back, as for the entrance, stop work for the time being, don't care, everyone gather here." ”

I don't know if the words of the gnats worked, or the gold medal in his hand worked, anyway, after the man named Chuan listened to the words of the gnats, he immediately turned around and left, and after a while, the young man named Eagle followed Chuan back to us, I looked up and down, and suddenly there was an inexplicable panic.
