After entering the alley, Leo walked straight to a group of children, took out the five-bia bill, and said, "I'm going to the Steel Helmet and Fish Tavern, whoever takes me there, this five-bia is theirs." ”

Hearing Leo's words, the children all looked eager to try, but with a cough, a little boy in a blue jacket and a small three-cornered hat walked out, and all the children retracted.

The little boy, dressed as an adult and with a dirty face, walked up to Leo, saluted Leo like some adults, and said, "Dear sir, I know the location of the Steel Helmet and the Fish Tavern, I can take you there, but I need ten bia." ”

"Yes, it's a deposit. Leo didn't say much about this behavior of sitting on the ground and raising the price, and directly stuffed the five-Biya banknote in his hand into the little boy's hand, and said, "The remaining five-bia will be given to the local area." ”

"Please follow me. The little boy shoved the bill into his pocket, turned around, and ran deeper into the alley.

Leo followed, led by the little boy, and weaved back and forth through the labyrinthine alleys, quickly towards the heart of the fish city.

After about ten minutes or so, the boy led Leo through a small alley, came to a small square, and stopped. Pointing to the tavern with a steel helmet and fish on the sign in front of him, he said, "It's the place." ”

Leo took out the remaining five bia, handed it to the little boy, and said, "The next time you lead the way, you can take it directly to the destination, there is no need to deliberately detour for ten minutes." ”

"I'm not worried that you think the road is too short, and it's not worth it to spend ten bia?" the little boy hurriedly took the remaining five bia, not embarrassed at all after being dismantled, and said with a grin.

It turned out that the little boy had deliberately taken Leo on a ten-minute detour between the houses in the fish city just now, and Leo, who had already constructed a topographic map through the spiritual network, naturally found it very easily. It's just that he didn't debunk the other party at that time, he just wanted to see what this little boy wanted to do, and whether he was going to lead him into some trap?

Unexpectedly, just because this place was only a few houses away from the mouth of the alley he entered, and it could be reached by walking two steps, the other party was worried that he was too close and did not want to pay, so he took a long detour.

Although it was a little annoying to be carried back and forth in the dark alleys where sewage flowed sideways on the ground for no reason, and feces would fall from the head at any time, it was not without its benefits, at least those who followed behind were easily thrown away, saving him the trouble of taking out these people himself.

The little boy put away the five bia carefully, and when he was about to leave, he stopped again, and said to Leo, who was walking towards the tavern: "Sir, you are a cheerful person, not only give money well, but also do not blame me for my little mistakes, so I will give you another hint, after entering, shoot harder, even if you kill someone, it doesn't matter, because it will reduce you a lot of trouble." ”

After speaking, I saw him take small steps, quickly get into the group of drunkards, quickly touched the waist of those people, and disappeared into the crowd.

"Funny little one!" Leo smiled at the sight, feeling that the little boy seemed to know what he was entering the tavern for, but he didn't think about it, turned and continued to walk towards the tavern.

Arriving at the tavern's door, Leo pushed the door open, and was greeted by a wave of heat that was completely different from the cold smell outside, mixed with the smell of inferior beer, the smell of men's and women's sweat, and cheap perfumes.

Leo's arrival didn't affect the raving going on in the tavern, where a group of coolies in rough canvas trousers and sleeveless pullovers were throwing the money they had earned all day onto the bad beer and the big butts of the busty waitress, who only wanted to get drunk and die once, and they didn't care about anything else.

There were only a few big men in pullovers who sat in the shadow corners of the tavern, but could echo each other and monitor every part of the tavern, and Leo glanced at him as he walked in, and judging from the fact that they silently put their hands under the table or on the weapons in their clothes, it was clear that Leo had put a lot of pressure on them.

Leo ignored the men and walked straight to the bar, took the black market access card from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The reason why Leo knows about Fish City, Steel Helmet and Fish Meat, a slum tavern that even the locals of Miria City don't necessarily know, is because of this black card.

When Leo left the building of the Velen Medical Association, the black card on his body seemed to be activated, releasing a psychic message outward, and Leo who was closest to the location naturally became the receiver, this message was very short, just two place names, Fish City and Steel Helmet and Fish Tavern.

Obviously, these two place names refer to the location of the black market in Miria City, so Leo has the idea of going to the black market.

He came to the black market not only to see what this mysterious black market was buying and selling, but also to find a suitable buyer for his alien cells.

In addition, let's see if we can buy a batch of special bullets, because relying on the queen to convert ammunition alone, it will be a drop in the bucket if the current situation continues to develop, and it needs to be purchased in large quantities and used as reserves. And this kind of special bullet is a controlled product in any country, and it is impossible to buy it on the market, so you can only try your luck on this black market.

Finally, there is another thing that just came to mind on the way, which is to see if he can collect information about the house that the old man of the villa mentioned in the black market, so that he can save most of his time and collect it in more detail.

After showing the black card in front of the bartender, the bartender put down the barware in his hand, turned around and found a hidden pull tab on the wine cabinet, and pulled it twice.

After a while, through the small door leading to the back of the tavern, an old man in a tuxedo and a top hat was out of place with his surroundings.

I saw him walk to Leo's side, look at the black card on the table, salute Leo, and say, "Guest, please come with me." ”

With that, he turned around and led the way, Leo picked up the black card and followed, entered through the small door of the tavern, and walked up the stairs to the second floor of the tavern, and walked from a small bridge on the second floor to the next house.

In this house, the old man stopped and said to Leo, "Guest, please give me the black card for inspection." ”

Leo didn't say anything, took out the black card and handed it over.

The old man took the black card and walked over to a half-human-tall mechanical device next to the house, and then saw him insert the black card into a specific slot in the device and pull a small push rod next to the device. A burst of mechanical sound peculiar to a steam engine came out, and the gears on the device began to rotate automatically, and bursts of steam came out from the pipes next to it from time to time, and then the ten test tube-like things at the top of the device were injected with some fluorescent gas, which lit up one by one, and stopped when it reached the eighth.

Seeing that the eighth test tube was lit by fluorescent gas, the old man was also a little surprised, stunned, and then pulled the push rod back, closed the machine, pulled out the black card, and handed it back to Leo.

At this time, Leo saw that there were eight more stars on the black card that originally had no pattern, and according to his inspection, the eight stars did not seem to be engraved, but more like they existed, but were covered by something, and the operation just now should have removed the cover.

The old man said to Leo very respectfully: "You are an eight-star customer of our black market, you can enjoy a corresponding discount when you buy items from us, and you can get a discount of eighty percent of the commission for any item you sell with us." ”

With that, the old man led Leo down the stairs, through several rooms, to a door, and motioned for Leo to choose a cloak and a mask from the wardrobe next to the door.

Leo casually picked a black cloak to cover his body, and then picked out a bird-like mask similar to the bird's beak mask used by the doctor, and put it on his face.

At this time, the old man opened the door and led Leo in.

Behind this door is a small theater-like place, in the shape of a funnel, surrounded by boxes, each of which has a special entrance.

In the center of the bottom of the funnel, where the stage should have been, now there is a stone round platform, and the light of dozens of special crystal lamps around it is all gathered on the stone platform, so that the people in the surrounding boxes can easily see the things on the stone platform.

"Wait, there are still twenty-three minutes left until this black market transaction. The old man motioned for Leo to sit in a chair near the box window, and then asked, "Do you need anything to drink?"

"No need!" Leo walked over and sat down, then looked around, and asked the old man standing beside him with some confusion, "Don't you have a list of items to buy and sell?"

"Guest, this is the first time to come to the black market, I'm afraid I don't understand the rules of our black market. The old man carefully explained: "Our black market only provides a safe and reliable place for customers who need to trade goods, and provides professionals to verify the value of goods, and we are not directly involved in the transaction." If you don't want to sell or buy items openly, you can also let us know, and we will help you connect you with suitable sellers and buyers, and you will negotiate the purchase price with each other and be responsible for the inspection of the items. Of course, for every trade on the black market, we take a percentage of the commission. ”

"I have an item for sale, and you can see if it can be arranged in the first one. Leo took a box from his backpack and placed it on the table next to him.

"It's an alien cell, I haven't seen this thing in a long time. The old man easily recognized the alien cells, and then saw him walk to the side of the room, open a cabinet, take out a typewriter-sized mechanical box, put it on the table, put the alien cells on the tray on the box, and then grabbed the lever next to the box and turned it slowly.

I saw that the gears of this mechanical box began to bite each other with the rotation of the lever, and then some small mechanical arms stretched out from around the tray, and each mechanical arm had a prism that constantly flashed light.

As the speed at which the old man turned the lever, these mechanical arms seemed to rotate around the alien cells on the tray according to a specific law, and from time to time some light shot out of the prism and drilled through the alien cells, falling onto the metal beans that could react to the light on the edge of the tray.

These metallic beans will have some color changes when they are hit by the light. When all the little beans changed, the old man stopped turning the lever, and the little beans and the prism around them sank into the box, and then a test tube marked with a scale on the box began to fill with fluorescent gas, and the fluorescent gas rose straight up, reaching a position between five and six, and then stopped, and the color of the fluorescent gas changed from red to pale green.

"It's a fifth-level alien cell, a human body mutation, but it has some flaws and fails to reach the sixth level. The old man found a delicate little box, took down the alien cells on the tray, put them in it, and then wrote the results of the test on a card, and then asked, "Guest, are you going to trade money, or return the items?" ”

"Trade money. "Although Leo does not lack money for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, he does not have the money to buy precious items such as special bullets.

When the old man heard this, he wrote these requirements on a piece of paper, then inserted the piece of paper into the slot on the lid of the box, closed the lid of the box, put it on the small platform of the window, and pulled the tab.

After a while, someone came up and took the thing, and left a deed to prove the item.

While waiting for the black market to open, Leo wanted to release the spirit net and check the surroundings, but he soon discovered that there was also a disturbing energy field in this house similar to that of the old man in the villa.

It's just that the interference energy force field here is much weaker, and he feels that if he increases the input of spiritual energy and increases the penetration of the spiritual network, he should be able to break through the influence of the force field, but he thought about it but didn't do so.

Because since these people can open a black market in a place like Miria City, they are naturally fully prepared, and if he breaks through the influence of the force field, but touches the other arrangements of the black market, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

As the mechanical clock in the room rang, a middle-aged man in a top hat and tuxedo walked to the platform, and then said something to the surrounding boxes, and began to get down to business, taking out the box containing the alien cells, placing it on the platform, and then pulling out the cards on the box to read the contents.

Although the rooms were soundproofed, Leo's sensitive ears could still hear some surprises coming from the surrounding boxes when the Black Market host mentioned that the box contained alien cells.

After that, there was no quotation like that of the auction house, but each person in the box wrote his price on the card, handed it to the waiter who was in charge of receiving the guests in the box, and finally concentrated it and delivered it to Leo, while at the same time, the host also began the black market transaction of the second item.
