Chapter 15: The Black Market
The carnival party in X City is still going on, but Chen Zifeng and the others have returned to their temporary villa.
They inspected this villa thoroughly after they moved in, and they inspected it again after they came back this time, and only after confirming that it was correct, did they begin to interrogate the Rat King.
The Rat King's name is Xu Liang, who learned some quick skills in the academy in the early years, specializing in stealing, and was expelled from the academy.
Chen Zifeng suffered his losses in the early years, but this guy's strength was not very good, but his skills were not good, he was stunned to chase and kill him for more than ten days and failed to catch him.
didn't expect to catch him here today, Xiao Jue said: "I saw this guy in the crowd at the party, waiting for the opportunity to attack those rich people, but I was found abnormal by him, so he almost escaped, which is my dereliction of duty." ”
Chen Zifeng said: "Well, in the future, you should pay attention to reconnaissance and stalking, and don't keep your eyes on the target, so that even a normal person will find out." ”
The team members remained silent to accept the captain's lesson, and Chen Zifeng then looked at the rat king who was being cuffed on the ground, felt his gaze, and he trembled when he saw it.
Ever since he was caught, the Rat King knew that his life was over, and what he had done, he knew best, and those things about him, according to federal law, were enough for him to sit through prison.
And the person who caught him was still the person he had pitted, he still remembered the horror of being dominated by Chen Zifeng back then, chasing day and night for more than ten days, that was the most painful moment of his life, if he hadn't escaped by cheating, he would have been ashes now.
Chen Zifeng looked at him like this, and he was not interested in scaring him anymore, so he said directly: "How long have you been here?" ”
Seeing that he had useful value, the Rat King immediately replied: "Three months, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, we must know everything."
After answering, you see if you can put it on the next horse. ”
Chen Zifeng jumped his eyebrows and said: "It depends on the value you provide, rest assured that if your answer can satisfy me, it won't be a big deal to let you go!" ”
The Rat King said excitedly, "Just ask!" We will make you satisfied. ”
Chen Zifeng immediately asked: "You said that you have been here for three months, how much do you know about this place?" ”
The Rat King said exaggeratedly: "Don't dare to say it, don't look at our strength is not very good, but in terms of collecting intelligence, let's dare to say that there are few people in the rivers and lakes who can be stronger than us." ”
Chen Zifeng said impatiently: "Come on, don't talk about uselessness here, let me ask you, has there been a relatively concentrated disappearance case in X City recently?" ”
The Rat King recalled for a moment and replied: "This, it's really not, a few days ago, there were two pipeline maintenance personnel, who disappeared when they repaired the underground pipes on D Street at night, but they couldn't find out about the specific matter, and it was said that the news was blocked." ”
Chen Zifeng nodded, this is almost consistent with what they learned, it seems that this guy still has something.
He then went on to ask, "How much do you know about the bizarre case that happened in the underground pipes in City X?" ”
The Rat King replied, "This! I understand that there are some, but as far as I know, the general underground pipes are mostly some local bad teenagers, and some children's play in the underground pipes is nothing. ”
Chen Zifeng said, "Well, how much do you know about ghouls? ”
The Rat King was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said, "You mean that there are ghouls in X City?" No wonder. ”
Chen Zifeng asked, "What's the wonder?" ”
The Rat King replied, "You know about the black market! There is one in this X city, and there have been a lot of strangers in the black market recently, and they are also asking about some strange things, but I don't know exactly what it is. ”
Chen Zifeng asked again, "Have you seen them?" Do you know what kind of people they are? ”
The Rat King thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, yes, but you know that in the black market, they are all wearing black robes that can prevent peeping, and you can hardly see anything, but the accent should be from the western district, but I am not too sure, after all, their accents are almost the same." ”
Chen Zifeng looked up at the team members and asked them if there was anything else they wanted to ask, but none of them had any opinions.
Chen Zifeng then asked the Rat King to take them to the black market, looking for people who had been asked about things by the strangers before.
It was two hours before they arrived at a sparsely populated location on the outskirts of City X, which wasn't supposed to take long.
But the carnival party in City X has not dissipated, people are still partying, causing the crowd on the ground and the vehicles in the air to still be crowded, and because they are secretly traveling, they don't want to alarm anyone's attention, so they choose to walk, and to go to the black market has to pass through the city center, so it took so long.
Eventually, the Rat King led them to the back of a normal apartment, where he authenticated and led them into the basement, which was a place where clothes were vending clothes, except that they were all sold in the same black robes.
The Rat King used the chip to help more than a dozen people buy robes, and handled the membership, everyone put on the black robes, and the robes automatically adjusted the size, and then a dark light flashed, as if some system was activated, and then they found that they couldn't perceive the existence of others, which made them a little shocked, and pondered other things in their hearts.
Seeing everyone's appearance, Chen Zifeng said: "Don't think about using it in battle, the reason why this robe has such an effect is not only that it has the blessing of the formation, but also combines technology, and it can only be used in places like this where large-scale supporting devices are used independently."
And it has a lot of limitations, such as being particularly easy to break, so don't think about useless things. ”
Chen Zifeng's words hit the dreams of some team members as scientists, but Chen Zifeng is not used to them, he always thinks of unrealistic fantasies when he has nothing to do, it is better to train to increase his strength when he has time, and some thoughts must be extinguished from an early age.
After Chen Zifeng finished speaking, he led the somewhat deflated team members to follow the Rat King into a secret door, which scanned their chips and allowed them to enter the black market.
As soon as they entered the door, inside the door was an elevator made of transparent material, and through the elevator they realized that the black market was very large, and it was a little bigger than they imagined.
This underground black market is divided into three floors, which can be reached by elevator, Jiang Xinmeng, a curious baby, couldn't hold back his curiosity and began to ask: "Boss, what is this black market for?" ”
Chen Zifeng looked at Jiang Xinmeng a little strangely, he hadn't seen Jiang Xinmeng ask questions in the past few days, he thought that after she had a wind chant, she changed her career, and now it seems that the saying that dogs can't change eating is really the ancients who didn't deceive me.
Chen Zifeng glanced at Feng Yin again, and motioned him to explain to her quickly, don't bother me, but Feng Yin directly pretended not to see, and then he saw Jiang Xinmeng's eager eyes for the unknown, and he was completely defeated.
He reluctantly explained: "As the name suggests, the black market is a place to provide a platform to sell goods that cannot appear in the market, and people who cannot buy and sell in the sun. ”
Jiang Xinmeng sighed, and then began to ask again: "What about this black market......
Chen Zifeng directly interrupted her with a silent gesture, and then said: "We will enter the black market immediately, don't ask questions and don't talk from now on, so as not to expose our identities, you know?" ”
Jiang Xinmeng nodded understandingly, and then at the end of the elevator, they walked out and entered the real black market.
In fact, the so-called black market is really like a stall in the old days, there are many people who put their goods on the ground, the difference is that everyone is quiet, quiet sellers and quiet buyers.
They followed the Rat King slowly through the black market, where they saw a lot of strange things, and the most difficult thing for them to accept was that some people were selling the remains of some alien creatures.
Like the wreckage of Shogues's protoplasmic buoys, tentacles, the giant fish heads and flippers of the Deep Divers, and even the corpses of the snake people they killed are all found here.
It's not hard to understand, after all, there are always people who want to try something different, and it's some very powerful alien creatures.
After all, Jiang Xinmeng has just joined the company and has never experienced such a drop
The value of the picture, the smell, the visual impact made her nauseous, she resisted the urge to vomit, and then felt a dizziness in her brain, and was held in her arms by the wind before she fell, and the warm embrace made her spirit better.
However, this scene provoked a burst of ridicule from the vendors on both sides, Chen Zifeng didn't want to cause unnecessary things, so he ignored them directly, urging the Rat King to find that person quickly.
Hearing Chen Zifeng's urging, the Rat King quickened his pace, and after a while, he led them to a stall where there was no one around.
The owner of the stall and the rat king looked at each other, they communicated secretly through the sound transmission into the ears, Chen Zifeng in order to prevent Jiang Xinmeng from holding back internal injuries, also explained in the ears, and told her that she could also do it after cultivation.
The two of them ended the conversation here, and the stall owner began to have a conversational conversation with Chen Zifeng, and the stall owner said that they were the people recommended by the Rat King, and they could ask about some things, but because it involved the privacy of customers, I hope he can understand the price.
Then he broke out a price code, Chen Zifeng saw that he was within the acceptable range, so he didn't entangle with him more, and directly used the chip to transfer him.
Chen Zifeng asked: "Did some Westerners ask you about things before, and what did they ask you about?" ”
The owner of the stall said that a group of Westerners had indeed asked him some things a few days ago, most of them about some secret information about City X, the most valuable of which was that they asked about the whereabouts of the "Ritual of the Corpse".
Chen Zifeng directly interrupted his transmission and asked him, "Do you know the whereabouts of the Corpse Eating Cult Ceremony?" ”
The stall owner said he didn't know, but there were rumors that it might have been here.
Chen Zifeng felt that they had come to the right place, the "Necrophoria Ceremony" was what the Federation had been looking for, but all they had was the fragmentary chapter leaves, and it was said that the complete "Necro Ritual Ceremony" had been kept in the hands of the witches in Paris, France in the old era, but the Federation had been searching for a long time and could not find it.
It seems that the reason why the ghouls in Jiang Xinmeng's nightmare poured into the city in large numbers probably has a lot to do with the "Ghoul Cult Ritual".
He was also almost certain that City X was the city that was invaded in Jiang Xin's nightmare, and it seemed that they only had to find evidence to prove it to the headquarters, and the rest would be handed over to the army.
At the end of the questioning, Chen Zifeng told the team members the content of the conversation, as well as his guesses, and everyone almost confirmed his conjecture, just when everyone was thinking about how to find evidence in this matter, suddenly Zhang Xiaoer reminded everyone to look at the few people who came out of the second floor.
Everyone looked over strangely, and saw through the transparent material a few tall black-robed people and a few petite black-robed people, who were about to enter the elevator.
Chen Zifeng saw at a glance that those people were not Orientals, and he couldn't be sure if they were the same group of Westerners who asked about the "Corpse Eating Cult Ritual", but it didn't prevent him from inquiring about a few lawbreakers in the black market.
Then he motioned to everyone to catch up, but not to be discovered, and the black market does not allow fights, especially since the black market background is very large, so as not to cause unnecessary things.
Then they began to stealthily pursue the target.
