Chapter 63: Prologue to the Conspiracy
The dawn sky is not necessarily much brighter than the night, so it can be seen that the "strange world of eternal night" is not a lie to scare children.
666-1017 King's Cross Ave.
This is probably the most dilapidated place Li Dui has ever seen in the weird world......
The layout of the buildings without artistic beauty, oh no...... These houses are not qualified to be called buildings, only ...... Litter!
Everywhere you look, the blackened walls and the dirt flowing, the tattered plastic sheeting doesn't stop the leaks in the roof, but instead makes it look like a patched trash can.
If it weren't for the smell of some strange broth in the air, Li Du would never have believed that there were strange creatures willing to live in this hellish place.
This is the place where Li Twilight must come to take over the Sunset Flesh Farm, and it is also the most direct place to investigate the information about the Flesh case.
In terms of flesh and blood business, Thug Buck and Waltson and the like, as insiders, have access to information that is naturally not comparable to that of the Logistics Department and the Tax Department.
At this moment, Li Dui was standing under the dim street lamp, intently looking at the worm probing his brain in the broken apple.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
An ordinary carriage came from afar and stopped squarely in front of Li Duan, making him frown slightly.
After a short while, a flattering George Watson jumped out of the car in a panic and took off his hat and bowed his waist to say hello.
"Dear boss, I don't think you should blame an old man who works hard for you, after all, I haven't slept all night to arrange the things you have explained."
Li Du rolled his eyes, he didn't care about the other party's late arrival at all, but thought that this guy drove a carriage to the civilian area is an extremely stupid thing.
"George Worthon, I warned you to keep a low profile, but you dare to come here in a carriage, are you a child who cares?"
Li Du didn't wait for the other party's apology, he didn't have that much time, he just said lightly: "Don't take it as an example." Alright, let's lead the way! ”
George Watson immediately withdrew from the carriage and led him headlong into the intricate alleys of the slums in the early morning......
The two turned east and west to the front of an inconspicuous building, and George Watson immediately pushed the door in to take a look, and after a while, he poked his head out and gestured vigorously to beckon Li Du to hurry in.
After entering the inner courtyard, Li Du found that there was a cave inside, the decorations were all rare, and all kinds of facilities and utensils were available.
Li Du couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: The owner here can play, especially when he is set off by the dilapidated Xiao Suo outside, which shows the nobility and difference of this place.
After following Watson for a short distance, they found an unnoticed opportunity to go into the bathroom.
The sound of rushing water sounded, and by the time the foul-smelling partition door was opened, the scene outside was completely different.
Li Du and the others also put on heavy cloaks, and they couldn't see their identities at all.
Immediately, a chimpanzee moved around with a clumsy body.
"Dear Excellency, welcome to the Blackjack Buyers Club. Unfortunately, our industry on the ground has recently been under unprecedented repression, and it is unfortunate for you to move here. ”
"It's okay to ......" came out of the cloak belonging to Li Dui, and a grainy neutral lazy voice came out, which was the voice of the stinky face enchantress.
Worthen was stunned for a moment, and quietly glanced at his boss, marveling at his caution.
"As a buyer, I think I have the right to know why the price of the supply of flesh and blood raw materials has doubled in months? Blackjack Buyers' Club is the largest rune flesh black market in Guillotine...... Can you give me a satisfactory answer? ”
"Hehe...... chimpanzee pouted, revealing his pink gums, "It's true that the price of raw materials has been unstable lately, and I'm sorry for that." In fact, the recent losses of the buyers' club have been very large......"
It doesn't seem to answer my question positively.
Li Du touched his nose and asked suspiciously, "The circulation of rune flesh and blood in the market has decreased?" ”
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect the chimpanzee to jump up directly in shock, and put a finger in front of his mouth to "shh The channels for the rune flesh trade are all in the hands of the Cthulhu Group, and you can't and shouldn't know the inside story, you know? ”
He glanced left and right, and in the distance in the darkness he should be talking about things, and no one seemed to notice him as a small waiter.
"Huh?" Worthen's dissatisfied nose sounded, and he just wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Li Du with one hand.
The nice voice in the cloak has a deep meaning: "Listen to you...... I understand. Hehe, but it's a bit rude to get the club's biggest buyer to pay attention. ”
"The biggest buyer? Do you mean yourself? The chimpanzee was in disbelief and stared at Li Dui in a daze. He couldn't understand why there were such self-righteous people in the world.
Look at it...... He couldn't understand it anymore....... he only felt that Li Dui's blood-red eyes were constantly shaking in his head, making him dizzy.
"Oh? So who is the biggest purchaser? I'd be interested to hear if their purchase volume is bigger than that of me as a big chaebol! Li Du asked the key question in a very timely manner.
After receiving the hints, the orangutans have directly reduced their intelligence to the level of relatives in the zoo who poke the anthill with a branch.
"You fool!" The chimpanzee sneered, "Do you know the Church of the Victims?" You stupid circle, you don't know how much it takes to store war materials......."
"Silly baboon!! You're sitting in front of the members and picking your nose?!! With the sound of heavy footsteps, Sen Leng's voice just interrupted the key to the other party's answer.
The eyes in Li Dui's hood shrank slightly, and his heart was shocked inexplicably.
It's the Church of the Victims again! War? Are they going to start a war?
Li Du knew very well that just those three-legged cats would never be able to make waves, and there must be a deeper mastermind behind them.
"Huh...... It's okay, it's cute to see him buckle his nose. Li Du pretended to be relaxed.
A man in a crisp white suit walked out of the shadows and slowly approached Li Dui, his silver-gray hair matched the color of the suit just right, but he looked like a noble son.
Li Dui had already raised his guard before anyone approached, and as the other party combed his silver hair, Li Dui's hand had already touched the gun.
Well...... It's the cold one.
"Hey! Man, don't be so nervous. We're sorry for the discomfort you have at Blackjack Buyers' Club. The man in the suit wore a pure white angry face mask, and made a nostril-picking motion at the nostrils on the mask.
Seeing that Li Du was silent, the mask of his angry face stretched out his hand to shake hands, "I don't know where the two Excellencies came from?" ”
Cautious, how could Li Du make such a risky move as shaking hands on such an occasion? So the invitation to shake hands with the angry face mask was unfortunately ignored by Li Dui.
Li Du gave a code to his loyal back-bearer, who immediately understood.
George Watson took off the hood of his cloak and said coldly, "Sunset Flesh Farm will carefully consider cooperating with your club in the future!" We still have things to do, so we won't stay for dinner. ”
"Hah! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! Then this should be your daughter...... Is that right? ”
Li Du still didn't buy face, and it was obvious that he wanted to leave.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a few seconds......
Finally, the Angry Face Mask stepped back and stepped out of the aisle, giving another gentlemanly salute by the way.
……
Seeing Li Du and the two leave the underground space, the angry face mask glanced at the chimpanzee who was stunned and didn't know what was going on, and smiled coldly.
Then he commanded to the darkness behind him, "Keep up!" With that little ......"
"Hehe, that little one can't be Worthen's daughter!"
