With the help of the "Sea of Souls", the two did not encounter too many difficulties in infiltrating the black market.

As Lu Xiang said, everyone who has been to the black market does not want others to recognize them, in addition to the criminals entrenched here, you can also see some rescuers, big directors and company people.

The scope of the black market is also much broader than Song Lan thought, in addition to the bars used to issue commissions, there are also auction venues, casinos, and some places that are suspected to be related to the "rats" used to be in the 17th district, but Lu Xiang refused to elaborate, according to the information of the "Sea of Souls", Kolo Pictures has also participated in the construction of the black market.

You can buy almost anything here, and you can also pursue unimaginable thrills.

Here, the mask is the equivalent of protection.

Once you wear it, it means that you can temporarily put aside your real identity and enjoy the darkest part of your heart.

Rescuers in particular need this way to express the stress they have accumulated in front of the camera.

"More than 60 percent of national rescuers are regulars on the black market."

Lu Xiang said a shocking proportion, these data are all counted by the "Sea of Souls", which are absolutely true and reliable, and there is no possibility of any slander.

However, for the sake of Song Lan's physical and mental health, Lu Xiang did not elaborate on those bizarre habits.

Even she, a well-informed person, felt a strong discomfort after reading it, as it is often said on the Internet, you can never imagine how "free" human fetishes can be.

"Lao Lu, I understand the truth, but what's the matter with my mask?"

After walking through the streets of the black market for some distance, Song Lan had to ask the question in her heart.

It's true that people in the black market wear masks, but they all seem to be the kind of style that will make people think they are ruthless characters, but he, a sheep cartoon mask, and a big smile, can seamlessly blend into the playground to become a mascot, and the whole style of painting is incompatible with the atmosphere of the black market.

He noticed that quite a few people were secretly observing his mask.

"Didn't I remember you saying that funny characters are often the best?"

Lu Xiang's tone was full of innocence.

She thought the cartoon sheep mask was unique, and she loved it.

The only pity is that the mask shop she went to didn't have a bird mask, and she originally planned to buy a dumb bird mask for Song Lan.

"And the boss said that the two masks are for couples."

As soon as he heard the words "couple's money", Lu Xiang immediately paid the money.

"Couples."

These three words also made Song Lan fall into deep thought.

If he is not mistaken, Lu Xiang's mask is a cartoon big bad wolf, and there is a row of fangs in his split mouth, he can't figure out how the big bad wolf and the sheep became a couple, and "Approaching Science" is probably difficult to explain the principle.

"Lao Lu."

"Huh?"

"Wolves eat sheep."

Considering that after the Third War, animals were almost extinct in people's daily lives, Song Lan had to popularize the basic knowledge of the food chain for Lu Xiang.

"I know."

Lu Xiang seems to have been prepared for this, how could she not even know the relationship between wolves and sheep? She paused and said, "But there are many kinds of food." ”

……

The topic unsurprisingly went to a dead end.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Song Lan always feels that Lu Xiang has become more and more direct and explicit in front of him recently, and he suspects that this is also part of the influence of the 'Sea of Souls'.

In order to prevent Lu Xiang from continuing to "speak wildly", he did not continue on the topics of "wolf eating sheep" and "cartoon mask" very interestingly.

A few people avoided the auction venues and some bells and whistles along the way, and walked into the door of the bar where the commission was issued under the intelligent navigation of the "Sea of Souls", which looked much more low-key compared to the glittering buildings.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the bar was very low, which made Song Lan tremble as soon as she entered the door.

Seeing this, Lu Xiang introduced the history of the bar to Song Lan very "intimately", "This used to be a morgue, and it is said that the equipment inside is very complete, and later after the black market was established, the owner of the bar bought it and converted it into a bar." ”

Although it's nominally a bar, no one comes here for a drink.

It is known as the largest underground intelligence trading center in the 4th arrondissement.

Not surprisingly, after Song Lan heard the historical background of the bar, she became even more uncomfortable.

No wonder he felt that this place was gloomy as soon as he entered the door.

They quickly texted the middleman introduced by Ms. Guan in a cubicle near the corner of the bar, a skinny man who looked to be in his early twenties.

On the bridge of the man's nose is a mask used for the ball.

The hooked nose, sallow skin, and eyes that seemed to have worked for a week without a break made Song Lan worry that the other party might faint during the conversation at any time.

He was a little reticent, and after taking his seat, he handed a data chip to the two of them.

"All the information you want is on it."

If it weren't for the fact that he owed Guan Lili a favor, he wouldn't be willing to wade into this troubled water.

Lu Xiang took out his laptop from his bag, and the information, including the reward order, was all sorted out and listed on it, all the publishers of the bounties were the same person, and the name was a string of numbers, but judging from the amount of the bounty, Roger and the others were not his main bounty targets, and there was a target that was several times that of them.

They need to retrieve a data chip from Monica, which is worth as much as the leaders of the resistance in the "outside".

Moreover, the publisher of the commission also promised that the person who took over the commission could get the support of the forces behind it and transplant a set of military-grade prosthetics for them.

"He has a deep relationship with the company, and most likely has a background in military technology."

The intermediary waited for Lu Xiang to finish browsing the information before he said his judgment, "There are many rich people in the fourth district, but not all of them can provide free prosthetic implant services. ”

Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

In addition to the military-grade prosthetics promised in the commission, he speculated that military technology would also add some "extra giveaways" to them, such as surveillance equipment, locators, or self-destruct devices, which are the company's usual methods, but there are still people who are willing to take risks for the sake of high rewards.

"As far as I know, more than a dozen people have been commissioned and have undergone prosthetic implant modifications...... It's about the company, that's all I can say. ”

"Thank you."

Lu Xiang understood the risks involved and did not continue to ask.

Strangely, the Sea of Souls does not record Vadim's operators in detail, and the operators' minds and minds have not been copied.

This is unexpected news, Lu Xiang originally thought that the commissioners were just ordinary street gangsters, but once the military-grade prosthetic transformation was carried out, things would become much more troublesome, with her understanding of military technology, for these "one-time" mercenaries, they would not take into account the risk of cyber psychosis.

And without considering the side effects, prosthetics is undoubtedly the fastest means to improve combat effectiveness.

"Roger, what are you going to do over there?"

Walking out of the bar, Lu Xiang asked in a low voice after finding a relatively secluded place.

Now Roger has also been strengthened, but she doesn't know how much Song Lan has influenced him, and whether she can deal with a group of cyber maniacs who have transplanted military-grade prostheses.

"They should be fine on their side, Monica also has Gustav watching on her side, don't worry about them for the time being."

Who is Gustav?

It was in the assassination of Chloe Pictures that single-handedly dragged him down in a ruthless role.

Song Lan asked again, "What about Vadim you mentioned, where is he?" ”

As fellow villagers of the 17th district, it is rare for them to come to the 4th district, so they should meet and say hello.

"He has a villa in the black market called the 'Crystal Palace,' and he usually lives there."

"It's a pity that we came in too much of a hurry this time and didn't bring souvenirs."

"Vadim must not want to be friends with you."

They didn't go to Vadim to chat and catch up, he had performed several prosthetic transplants under the auspices of Kolo Films, and there may be a shadow of military technology among them, as long as they found Vadim, they could lock down the identity of the entrusted publisher.

The only problem is that the "Crystal Palace" belongs to Vadim's sphere of influence, and it is forbidden for idle people to enter.

Many of the horror legends of the black market come from here.

They paint a vivid picture of the fate of those who are overly curious and try to infiltrate the "Crystal Palace", and those who fall into the hands of Vadim are often not killed immediately, but are sent to various places in the black market to ensure that they can have an authentic black market experience.

They tend to be auctioned off as commodities in various ways.

However, for the sake of Song Lan's physical and mental health, Lu Xiang did not give detailed examples.

After a while, Song Lan saw the grandeur of the "Crystal Palace", and he saw the villa from a distance, but in front of the villa was a fortress-like defense line.

When the two arrived, several slender women with faces covered by black nylon dragon heads were being brought out of it by Vadim's men.

The wall of the entrance is marked with a reminder that "idlers are not allowed to enter", and it is also covered with a layer of dried blood.

I don't know if the skulls that are randomly placed in the flower bed are props.

Lu Xiang waited for the woman to go away before he stepped forward and asked the doorman, "Is Vadim at home?" ”

"Who are you?"

The doorman asked in an unkind tone through the bulletproof glass.

There was a slight noise above the two men's heads, and the barrels of the rotating turrets were already aimed at them.

Lu Xiang thought about it for a while, and decided to adopt Song Lan's name for Vadim, "Fellow." ”

"Fellow?"

The doorman was a little puzzled at first, and then said viciously, "I haven't heard of you, if you don't want to die, get out of here." ”

This tone is ample proof that Mr. Vadim is a man who does not like to make friends.

So after releasing cruel words, Mr. Janissary ushered in his end.

His pupils dilated, and he straightened up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted, and fell back stiffly before he could make any sound.

And all this was just because he was "stared at" by Lu Xiang.

"What are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Xiang was a little embarrassed by Song Lan's staring, and said, "He's still alive, I just short-circuited his operating system." ”

She felt that compared to Song Lan's treatment of her friends, she was already gentle.

In order to make themselves the "top brand" of Kolo Films, the subordinates trusted by Vadim also got the opportunity to be transformed into prosthetics, which made them gradually become an existence that even rescuers dare not underestimate, at least until Kolo Films decided to use this "big tonic pill", no rescuer was willing to cause trouble on Vadim's territory.

At this point, however, the implantation of prosthetics has played a side effect.

Lu Xiang seemed to be using practical actions to prove the disadvantages of prosthetic implantation for Song Lan, and the subordinates of Vadim who found them either suddenly caught fire on their bodies, or suddenly lost their minds and pointed their guns at their companions, and they walked straight towards the villa, wailing along the way.

In this regard, Lu Xiang's explanation is that this is one of the ways to use the "Sea of Souls".

For the vast majority of prosthetic implanters, she now only needs to stare at the other side, as if she had invaded their operating system, causing all sorts of malfunctions.

As long as the type of operating system recorded by the "Sea of Souls" cannot escape the fate of being invaded.

Song Lan didn't understand hacking techniques, but he understood one thing.

"No wonder the criminals of District 17 are so afraid of you."

In the rumors of gang members, Lu Xiang is the most brutal and bloodthirsty law enforcer in history, and she does seem to be a different person when dealing with criminals.

This complements her big bad wolf mask, in Song Lan's eyes, Lu Xiang is like a big bad wolf who has broken into the sheepfold.

"It's okay, as long as you're not afraid."

At the same time of the invasion, Lu Xiang could also use both hearts and respond to Song Lan.

The two of them walked up the stairs unimpeded to the villa, located in the center of the fortress, and rang the doorbell.

Unsurprisingly, no one answered.

"Wait a minute".

Lu Xiang stared at the villa, which claimed to be the most advanced security system on the market today, for a while, and the closed security door was open for them.

The first thing that caught my nose was a strong smell of alcohol, and on the coffee table in the living room was a mountain of goblets containing unfinished champagne, and in the corner of the sofa were used illegal drugs.

"He should have just left."

The mess left in the living room showed that the party was only halfway through, and Vadim had intended to have more of a happy time.

Lu Xiang remembered the girl they met before entering the door, and it seemed that it was because of someone's sudden visit, so Vadim had to temporarily terminate this drinking party that belonged to him alone.

But they didn't get nothing.

Someone who can interrupt Vadim's drinking party and let him go to work......

"I'm going to check the surveillance footage, someone from the company should have been here."

Thanks for a nickname to remember the 500 starting coins for the reward!

Thanks to Quantum Planet for the 5,000 starting coins!

Thanks to Mu Qingzhou for the 500 starting coins!

Thanks to workerant for the 100 starting coins!

Thank you for the 1233 starting coins rewarded by farming life lovers!

The small theater of its two hundred and sixteen:

Sunday, morning, month, year.

After the most exciting part, the atmosphere of the scene took a sharp turn and even became a little dull.

It has to do with the theme of the wedding.

Lu Xiang and Song Lan sat in the audience, listening to the views of the senior leaders of the insect swarm on "world peace", and they told about the rapidly changing situation of the "outside world" in the report, successfully bringing the wedding crookedly and turning the scene into a work report.

"Who came up with this theme!"

Lu Xiang glared at Song Lan with disgust.

Facts have once again proved that Song Lan must not be allowed to participate in any naming-related decisions!

“…… Now what? ”

Song Lan also couldn't listen to it anymore, which reminded him of the horror of holding a meeting in the council.

This dumb bird!

And leave the mess you made to her to deal with!

Lu Xiang, who is an honor student of Daystar, thought about it and finally had to make a decision that violated his principles, "Slip away." ”

No matter how boring the classes in school were, she never skipped class.

"Slip away?"

"Hmm."

Lu Xiang once again showed her ability to act, she grabbed Song Lan's wrist and trotted towards the action route she had planned.

There are more important things waiting for her than listening to the work report here.

Punish this goofy bird for messing around, for example!
