Chapter 34: The Black Market
"Okay, then I'll buy things in batches and transport them through you," Tatsuno pointed to Tang Yu's bed, "The entrance to the tunnel is under your bed, do you mind?" ”
"Hmm...... It's okay! ”
At dawn, Long Ye turned over and slipped out of Tang Yu's house, changed into the field combat suit worn by the mercenary group, covered half of his face, and walked towards the trading market in his impression.
There were a few thundercries in the sky, Long Ye looked up, and saw a large dark cloud pressing over, and the next second the raindrops the size of beans fell, and there was a crackling sound all around.
Tatsuno lowered the brim of his hat and walked down the road in the slums.
At first he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, but when he got to the dividing line between the slums and the rich, on that road, a sense of difference in the world came to him.
To the south was a low, dense wooden house with iron plates, and under the walls, rows of poor people knelt on the ground and begged, their clothes dirty and shabby, unkempt, and their eyes were blank, and they only knew how to bow their heads and thank them.
Beside them, good men dressed in fine clothes and with delicate faces walked by, and they threw coins and food at the poor, cautiously and carefully, lest they touch their bodies.
After throwing their things, they showed a pious look and saluted from a distance to the church of the Angel Temple to the north.
These people have foreigners and Daxia people, and it can be seen that there is almost no intersection between Daxia people and foreigners, and they are respectively giving alms, and they are clearly distinguished.
From this, a hierarchical chain was formed: the Great Xia paupers who had not awakened the divine soul - the Great Xia civilians who had awakened the divine soul of the sequence - foreigners.
The pouring rain caused the do-gooders to raise their umbrellas and walk towards the wealthy areas.
The beggars' expressions became sad, and those who had not received a few handouts began to worry about whether they would be able to eat enough today.
Tatsuno saw that a foreign blonde was holding her daughter's hand and hurriedly walked away.
The girl had a burger in her hand that was ready to be used for good, and she bent down to hand it to a little beggar boy.
The little boy looked at the girl excitedly, and his grateful smile warmed the girl's eyes.
"What for?!" The blonde cried out in horror, she grabbed her daughter's hand and said loudly, "Windsor, what are you doing?!" You can't have physical contact with sinners. ”
"But," Windsor's eyes were confused, "but they're like ordinary down-and-out people." ”
The blonde shook her head and said solemnly: "They are not ordinary people, they are the descendants of the god of sin, they are sinners, you can never be redeemed if you contact them, and they are not ordinary sinners, they are the lowest sinners, look at them, how dirty they are!" ”
Windsor froze, she looked at the boy, and then, really noticing the dust on the boy's face and the dirty hair, she hurriedly took a step back, a little at a loss.
The blonde grabbed the burger, threw it far at the boy's feet, looked at him with disgust, took Windsor's hand, and walked away quickly.
The boy stared blankly at the burger on the ground.
It fell apart, slices of bread fell to one side, and meatloaf was being washed away by the rain, wafting greasy rainbow of light.
The boy's eyes were gloomy, but he did not seem to be saddened by the insult to his dignity, and he pounced like a wild dog, grabbed the meatloaf and bread slices violently, and then stuffed them into his mouth without washing.
He stuffed his cheeks to the brim, chewing and pushing back his coveters with a fierce gaze.
Thundered! ——
Thunder and lightning pierce the sky and illuminate the bustling city.
A million-dollar luxury car drove up, grabbed the blonde and Windsor, and drove away.
"Daughter, don't come here in the future, it's very dangerous here, it's all sinners, maggots in a society that doesn't work!" The blonde taught earnestly.
"The maggots of society ......," Windsor muttered.
She remembered that she had seen sinful people looking for work.
But then she remembered that her mother had said that sinners were not worthy of work.
So, sinners want to work, but they are sinners, they can't work.
Therefore, they can only be maggots in society, and their only role may be to allow the good people on high to enjoy the self-satisfaction of giving alms and doing good.
When the good people give money, the crisp sound of the coins falling into the pocket makes them feel that their souls have been sublimated.
As for the rest, such as the long-term arrangements of the sinners, who cares?
They are sinners, and they are the lowest sinners who have not awakened their souls!
"Phew! Without the divine soul of the Awakening Angel Belief Sequence, you can only be beggars, and you are not allowed to enter the rich area, understand?! A Great Xia man wearing the uniform of the Angel Divine Guard was sharply reprimanding the beggars, "Who dares to upset the good people, hehe, the long sword in my hand will not be merciful!" ”
......
Tatsuno watched all of this silently, and he felt a blaze burn in his chest, which was extremely hot.
Clenched his fists and ran through the rain curtain, Tatsuno lowered his head, his eyes as resolute as the cold stars in the northwest.
Jiangbei City Department Store.
It is a magnificent building with a height of 100 meters, and there are many luxury cars and pedestrians below.
Half of the commercial transactions in the entire city of Gangbuk are concentrated here, and it is said that there is nothing that cannot be bought here.
The Temple of Angels was very lax in its management of this, and there was no arrangement other than the collection of booth fees, so the black market was rampant, and human parts, rare creatures, and even women that were not allowed to be sold by law were sold.
Of course, there are also people involved in these profiteering hooks.
"Welcome!"
Tatsuno pushed open the door, and the intelligent robot made a sound.
"Please go here, the mercenary groups are trading here."
Tatsuno followed the prompts and walked into the mercenary group's trading area.
There are thousands of shops on the 20-story ring building, either privately owned or listed by mercenary groups, and the sound of shouts is a sound that makes people's eardrums hurt.
One by one, the battle-hardened mercenaries walked in the middle of it, bustling.
Tatsuno walked casually, looking at the goods sold in the shops from time to time.
After turning around for more than an hour, Tatsuno stopped at a shop on the fifth floor.
"Olympus Temple Gangbei Office - Weapons and Equipment Store."
Founded by the Jiangbei Office of the Temple of Olympus, the store covers an area of about 30 square meters and has a wide variety of goods, including ordinary standard protective clothing, all kinds of thermal weapons, and refined refrigeration weapons including potions.
"This store shouldn't have any connection to the Angel Guard."
Tatsuno walked into the store.
The shop is deserted, probably because there are no special items for sale.
The salesman was a man with golden wheat hair, who did not have much hair, but was still in the transition stage to the Mediterranean.
The golden-haired man glanced at Tatsuno, didn't come up to say hello, and swiped his phone to himself.
Tatsuno found that the prices of the products in this store were generally cheaper, he frowned and asked, "Boss, why are your products here so cheap, could it be parallel imports?" ”
