Chapter 404: A New Protagonist Appears?!
"Metro Line 4, sit in Zhongshan Park and take the underpass......"
The newly recruited assistant chanted quietly beside him, and the carriage was packed...... Maybe there's something inhuman, too. In the dull breath, you can distinguish the smell of oils and spices, as well as the faint ...... Fishy odor.
A large wanted notice was posted on the large glass of the subway iridescent, and the photo showed a middle-aged man with a rather striking face, the tip of his nose slightly protruding, his black hair slightly unkempt, and an indescribable firmness in his sunken eye sockets.
This man (and his fellow party) has been wanted by various civilized worlds for more than a year, and rumors about him, as well as the rest of the Restorationists, are rife and widespread. Some say he was a shadow of the assassination in Sarajevo a few weeks ago, and that he and his well-trained associates haunted the world, purposefully hunting royalty members and evading pursuit again and again with their cunning. Even the famous consulting detective in Baker Street, England, missed on him, and the nephew of the Queen of Britain was chopped to pieces alive......
But it is interesting to note that even with this egregious cruelty, he still has a high level of influence among the people at the bottom around the world. In the underworld, one's ability - rather than position - always plays a greater weight in one's position judgment.
Adrian stared at the reflection on the plexiglass windows of the subway, and the ordinary face of his new assistant Xu Fugui was looking down to carefully flip through a hand-copied booklet about a brief introduction to the underground bazaar, the young kid had gone through two adventures, and the current adventurer rating was two stars. He was not affiliated with any organization or force - except for Adrian's small office.
Sweat oozed from his pores, and the collar of his cheap suit was not turned up. Adrian frowned slightly, perhaps it was a fatal mistake to recruit him himself. But this year. Ninety-five percent of the talent market is filled with mediocrity, and every face shows impatient desires, ugly, dirty, and pretentious...... In addition, Adrian's job is not a high-paying job in the first place, so he can only accept some low-level residues for himself...... It's clear. But he never wanted to make a change, like the young man in front of him, Su zhì assistants are easy to find in the market, and their advantage is that they are easy to replace, even if something goes wrong, it will not bring him greater losses, which can be described as an excellent renewable resource.
Adrian appears to be of mixed Asian and Western European descent, and combines the best of both races in appearance. He is of moderate stature. He is about 1.73 meters tall, with long black hair and attractive eyes like emeralds. For men, his appearance may be a little too feminine, whether it is his black nail polish or bright red lip gloss, or the women's cigarettes he is used to smoking, he has made him a lot of eye-catching in the crowd.
"Don't be too nervous."
Adrian patted Xu Fugui's shoulder with his white palm, and there was a shallow dent on all four of his fingers, like a mark left by some kind of finger cuffing.
As the subway arrived, the two got off the train with the flow of people.
In an old metro station. The flow of people was divided into two distinct branches, Adrian leading Xu Fugui in a significantly smaller stream, many of whom were in black cloaks silent, or whispering in ways that humans couldn't feel.
Moist masonry drips viscous, icy sediment. hit Xu Fugui's neck, which made him startled. The ancient stone steps seemed to have no end in sight, and the young adventurer remembered what was written in the manuscript. "Bazaar", "Bazaar", seven hundred years ago. When the Ancient Dominators landed here, the bazaar was born. On the basis of this bazaar. Shanghai was born, the center of economic power in East Asia, now known as the "Magic City".
The stone steps at your foot are 700 years old......
And since 700 years ago, the world has rapidly fallen into an age of darkness and light. But correspondingly, peaceful, prosperous, developed...... The advent of the evil gods brought with them the technology that changed the development level of the original civilization, and while the world was developing rapidly, it was also shrouded in the iron curtain that was born around the evil gods.
"Here we are."
Adrian nudged him, reviving the young adventurer. The aloof boss strode ahead, leading him through an arch that seemed to be made of obsidian. The arch is covered with ancient languages, and a decayed wooden plaque hangs underneath, with a faint line etched in a red-and-black paint:
Bazaar Bazaar.
After crossing the obsidian, there is a whole city built underground, the air is cool and humid, the sound of the stream can be heard in the exotic complex, the underground river runs through the dark city, the dim street lamps are connected to the gas pipes from the ground, and the transparent lampshades flicker from time to time electric sparks.
"It's actually about the size of Pudong." Adrian lit a cigarette, this is the first time Xu Fugui has come to this kind of place with him, in fact, Xu Fugui has only been working for him for about a week, just learned to make coffee and bartending from Adrian, the first business is quite difficult to seize the task, which makes him also have a little headache, although the labor force is not valuable, but it is also very troublesome to train well.
Adrian led Xu Fugui through the not wide road, and the adventurer saw the black horse with the bat's wings flapping and pulling the carriage, until the bald dwarf on the waist of the ordinary person whispered on the corner of the street, and the oncoming cloaked man had a lizard-like face under the black cloak.
After walking through the streets of the Demon Realm for about ten minutes, turning one mysterious alley after another, Adrian and Xu Fugui turned to the door of an upper-class club with a rather magnificent decoration.
A middle-aged man with a big belly and a poop alopecia areata was standing in the doorway, constantly wiping his sweaty cheeks with a large handkerchief. It's so cool underground, but this guy's face is still shiny. For Xu Fugui, compared to other inhuman monsters, this obese middle-aged man was a little surprisingly normal.
Adrian could feel the sticky, obscene gaze gliding across his skin like a slug, and he resisted the urge to tear the other man to shreds, calmly pulling the invitation from his pocket.
"Ahh Mr. Adrian, please come in. Please come in, it's shining. Hahaha. ”
The fat man's voice was low and sweet, revealing naked desire, in short, no one would like this guy. I don't know what kind of guests this guy is trying to attract when he stands at the door.
"The auction starts in 20 minutes, so you can go in first and find a place for yourself in the VIP area to rest for a while...... A special number plate will be arranged for you to ......"
A little man hiding behind him turned around and said with a sneer: "Hehe, with that thing, tonight's auction must be very lively...... However, it is estimated that the price can also be very high. If you don't have enough money, you're still ...... Hee-hee......"
"Presumptuous!" The fat man shouted, "Where is there a place for the little Sith to speak!" Little red guy, Ka Nie rubs, want to lack a slap? Book that, Bei Laozi get out! ”
Even Xu Fugui could hear this red-faced and white-faced squeeze, and Adrian was too lazy to talk nonsense with the fat man, so he went in directly. When Xu Fugui also wanted to follow up, two black cloaks happened to walk in. When they lifted their cloaks, Xu Fugui saw two pale and bloodless faces of dead people. The tall man in the lead saw Xu Fugui looking at him, and smiled, revealing his sharp canine teeth.
"......" Adrian stopped. Twisting his head slightly, Xu Fugui didn't dare to look at it anymore, and immediately caught up with his boss.
"Bloody gas is a bit heavy......"
The adventurer heard his boss muttering to himself, as if he were a little confused. But he didn't understand what he was saying, if it was a vampire. The smell of blood on that body must be very ...... It's normal.
This seemed to be an underground auction house, and Adrian whispered a few words to Xu Fugui. So he took a number plate and found a place to sit down.
After more than ten minutes, the backstage of the auction seemed to be noisy. Adrian stood up with a frown, and the rest of the guests exchanged their heads and gradually became noisy. A few seconds later, an astonishing roar came from the background, one that seemed to come from an ancient nameless evil beast roaming the wilderness beyond human comprehension, and when it was heard, almost all the guests fled in confusion.
But Adrian stood still, and like the rest of the people, he could hear the power of the roar, but he could hear the deeper sense of it. This roar contains not only anger, but also a hint of helpless anger.
He didn't hesitate any longer, stepped over the messy venue, and went straight to the backstage of the auction house.
The backstage is like a dark and gloomy kitchen, with all sorts of things piled up in a mess. Adrian stepped over the rare and scattered treasures, and the chains around them were covered with bodies that were free from life and death, men and women, whose limbs had been cut off and their features removed, leaving only the remains of various props.
Adrian covered his nose in disgust, he had heard of the fat man's fetish, but it still made him feel a little sick to see the cruelty of these sadistic things.
Xu Fugui was still in a coma, one wrist was pierced by an iron hook and hung from the ceiling, while the fat man ...... "spilled" on the floor. His body radiated a puffy and pale sheen, and a large amount of dead white fat that was beyond his theoretical size scattered on the floor as if it had exploded, and in the viscous liquid, Adrian flipped his hands open with the tips of his boots, each with a mouthpart full of sharp teeth.
"Rich! Rich!! Adrian slapped him in the face hard, "Where's the thing?" ”
Although what he wanted to ask was, how did Xu Fugui kill this strength above him...... Mythical creatures.
After dozens of seconds, Xu Fugui woke up leisurely, and as soon as he woke up, he spit out a mouthful of filth with his side face, and Adrian quickly avoided it. The young adventurer gasped several times before adjusting, and whispered:
"Artifact Fragments...... was snatched away. It's not me, I'm ...... I was knocked straight down. It's the other two, those two vampires! The young man recalled in disbelief, "Those two men...... It didn't feel very strong, but it seemed to be prepared, and they prepared a powerful poison and shot a crossbow directly into the monster, ...... it It became like this. ”
Adrian's face sank, and he had probably guessed who the two "vampires" were. He had a suspicion just now, the blood on their bodies was too heavy, but he had a deliberate feeling, but he was also thinking about how to snatch the "fragments" that were auctioned here tonight, so he didn't think much about it......
"Damn the old Returners, stand up, we need to get out of here before the law enforcement team arrives. And then go after those two wanted criminals......"
"Can I trouble you and take us out by the way?"
A childish voice sounded behind Adrian, who turned around, and in the dim light, two slender figures sat in a large cage, a huge steel birdcage hung from the ceiling by chains. Adrian, who had night vision, could clearly see the two men.
Two young children of about twelve years old, rare fraternal twins, delicate and beautiful children like real dolls, with black hair and black eyes, sitting bored in an iron cage like a work of art.
"We can give a little clue in return."
The boy smiled a slightly wicked smile. (To be continued......)
PS: The crab ate too much and tossed and turned in pain all afternoon......
