Twelve districts, cubes.

The cube is a government-built building, mainly allocated to artisan manufacturing personnel to live, with thousands of rooms, large and small, like an ant nest. There are 13 floors in total, the top of which is about 30 meters above the ground, and when you stand on the top of the building, you can see the bottom of the underground rock wall. Rows of artificial round pillar lamps are regularly covered by steel mesh and are firmly encased on the rocks, emitting a yellow and clear light, extending into the distance, majestic and magnificent.

The property rights of the cube belong to the government, and it is built according to the topography, and the appearance is quite similar to a cube.

One room on the 10th floor. Qiu Long stood behind the glass curtain wall of the living room, quietly looking out: on Line 5, the tram went back and forth, stopping and walking; Motorcycles shuttle back and forth in traffic; Pedestrians on the road are hurrying, bowing and greeting, or buying supplies; From time to time, there are rows of government patrols in orderly steps to maintain law and order, occasionally stopping to question pedestrians. In the pale yellow light, the whole picture seems to have a magical color, giving people a sense of unreality. Sometimes he would stand here for a long time outside the observation window, thinking about something more profound.

This time, he didn't have time to think about some distractions, he was staring at the bus stop on the side of the road across the building, he was waiting for Scar.

On the sofa in the living room, Yazi used a piece of gauze to carefully wipe the short-handled sword in his hand, focused and delicate, as if stroking his lover's hand.

A young man with glasses, sitting at the dining table with a laptop, staring intently at the computer screen!

There was no one else in the room, and the silence was suffocating!

After a long time, Yazi couldn't hold back and said, "Hey! Deaf, from the morning to now, you don't say a word except eating, you stand there like a log, pretending to be deep? Also, glasses and computers are beautiful women, and you can't keep looking at them and rest your eyes! ”

Qiu Long "snorted", which can be regarded as an admittance! The glasses didn't say a word, but crackled and tapped on the keyboard.

Yazi was speechless, inserted the short-handled sword, slowly walked to the side of the dragon, and looked out randomly. She saw a young couple, holding each other's hands, hurrying across the street to a restaurant; I saw an old man who was almost knocked down by a whistling locomotive, and was raising his cane to curse; I also saw a scantily clad woman on the opposite platform, holding a small mirror and applying lipstick. She turned her head, looked at Qiu Long with a smile, and said, "So I was looking at this, hehe......hee"

Qiu Long simply shut up this time, and not even a trace of wind appeared between his teeth. Finally, a bearded man wearing a yellow trench coat, a motorcycle hat, and a pair of goggles stuck to the brim of his hat stood at the bus stop, "It should be Scar!" Qiu Long thought.

So he turned to the young man in front of the computer and asked, "Thomas, make sure!" ”

The glasses then took control of the close-up camera of the computer, and saw that Kai Alaski was staring at the window with wide eyes, raising his bearded chin! Then he said with certainty: "It's him!" So I walked to the door of the living room, pressed and held the light source switch, repeated the operation twice, and then returned to the computer and sat down.

It's been the third day since the Valley of Silence came out. Kai Alaski completed the task assigned by Qiu Long, and at this moment came to the bus stop, according to the agreement, after the lights in Qiu Long's room were turned on and off twice, he stepped forward to meet.

Now, he sees it. So I cautiously crossed the street and came to the cube hall.

When he reached the tenth floor and knocked on the door, Thomas had already opened the door, and Kaelaski was surprised, said hello, and went straight into the house. He said hello to Yazi again.

Qiu Long looked at his watch, it was 15 o'clock, turned from the window and walked towards the living room.

Without waiting for the dragon to ask, Kaielaski said, "The matter has been done, the word has arrived!" ”

Qiu Long nodded. said: "The spar will return me!" Then he turned to Yazi and said, "Julia, come closer!" ”

The four of them sat down next to each other. Looking at Julia's somewhat puzzled eyes, Qiu Long said: "The blind beast spar is very rare, and we are in danger to get it for two reasons, one is that the government is in great demand now, constantly strengthening the hunting monopoly, and the black market transaction value is greater, so let's take the risk to collect it, this is the way to survive; The second is that I want to take the opportunity of the spar to make a move, and I will be the boss for a while, he has the absolute right to speak in the rare private goods market, and he has repeatedly lowered the price of us, I am very unhappy, I have to see him, and it is not the kind of meeting that is a friend. This is the way to develop! ”

"Boss Biao is not only familiar with the government, but also has some dealings with the revolutionary army, and his strength cannot be underestimated! There are only a few of us, and we will never make a profit in normal times. Therefore, I asked Scar to take the hedron and go to meet with their people, release the message, and whet their appetites, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come this time. Listening to Thomas, Boss Biao has recently gotten into trouble and received a deposit from someone else, but he can't hand over the spare, and the other party is furious and asks him to deliver the goods within a limited time. Even though Boss Biao has great energy, he is also frightened. Besides, recently, the trading volume of black market spars is very rare, so we are very sure to meet him this time. ”

Qiu Long paused and said: "This kind of spar transaction, in order to keep it secret, Boss Biao is afraid that there will be too many people, so he shouldn't bring more people over, at best, he will bring a few henchmen." So, this time, let's play him, we should have a good chance of winning! Moreover, his repeated suppression of us, and our superficial concessions, will only increase his attitude of contempt for us, and I don't think we dare to do anything! ”

"There's just one thing, I'm afraid he'll suspect ......," Qiu Long said thoughtfully.

Julia immediately understood, and said, "Yes! In the past, our transactions were all completed by Scar and their younger brother. This time, we asked to meet and trade, and he must be suspicious! ”

"Therefore, Qiu Long sent Yang Yao to the government to inquire about the information and find out where the buyer is sacred, so as to determine whether Boss Biao can come in person!" Thomas explained.

At this time, the computer dialog box flashed, Thomas took a closer look, and said: "She replied to the message, the buyer is torn between the government and the black market, there is a bit of background, it is said that Boss Biao is afraid of offending, it is estimated that he will definitely go in person!" ”

Julia asked, "Is the old man going to make this deal?" ”

Qiu Long said: "The old man has a special identity, I am afraid that it will affect this transaction, and she is not needed to go to this transaction!" ”

Julia suddenly thought that Yang Yao is currently working in the government, and if this transaction is seen by Boss Biao and his gang, it will indeed be a little inconvenient to trade again in the future. Due to her special status, she is generally not required to come to ordinary activities, although the situation of this transaction is special, but the person she meets is even more special, so it is better not to come. So, don't ask anymore.

Thomas said to Qiu Long again: "She also said that I will meet you at a restaurant in District 10 tonight to discuss the matter of meeting Boss Biao!" ”

Qiu Long nodded and said to the others: "Now everyone go back, prepare for the day after tomorrow, and gather again at noon tomorrow!"

District 10, inside a restaurant.

The dungeon is never day and night, and it is always the same light.

The only thing that can be distinguished is the time that has passed.

There are a few tables in the restaurant, and there are sporadic people sitting and eating.

When Qiu Long came in, he saw Yang Yao sitting alone at a long table with a partition in the corner, with his face facing the door of the restaurant, and walked over.

Yang Yao is in her 20s, mixed-race, with short blond hair and big brown eyes, and she is a beauty. When he saw Qiu Long, he stood up and waved his hand.

When Qiu Long sat down, the waiter came to greet him: "Sir, what do you want to drink?" Qiu Long said, "Water, thank you!" ”

Yang Yao waited for the waiter to put down the water and left, and said, "Boss, the day after tomorrow, what is your real intention?" ”

Qiu Long looked at Yang Yao's big brown eyes, smiled and asked, "Boss, you are the smartest, guess?" ”

Yang Yao thought for a while and said, "Usually, when we get the goods, we let Scar take action against others." This time, after getting such a valuable thing, but asking Boss Biao to meet and trade, do you want to teach him a lesson? ”

Qiu Long nodded and said, "This Biao boss, I have lowered the price of us many times, I really can't hold this breath." I want to give him a shock when I take this opportunity, and we may take this opportunity to greatly improve our reputation in the underground in the future. At the very least, let him know that as buyers and sellers, we are equal! ”

Yang Yao said: "Yes! A few of us had this idea for a long time! Over the years, we have neither participated in the social work divided by the government, nor joined other forces, except for me in the government sequence, you have all used false identities, and you have survived for so many years, and everyone has nothing to do. But a life without prestige and identity is frustrating. ”

Qiu Long looked at Yang Yao with approving eyes and said, "This world is originally interesting, but it is very boring without freedom. There is no freedom, but it is suppressed by others everywhere. The only thing I am sure of is the uncertainty of tomorrow, the so-called not broken, not standing, not standing up. is the reason why I want to see Boss Biao in person! ”

Yang Yao said: "Have you ever thought that we can deter Boss Biao?" ”

Qiu Long raised his eyebrows, his spirits perked up, and he raised his head and said: "Boss Biao only cares about the matter of the spar, and he may not think that we are a big threat!" The spar is in our hands, he wants to be in a hurry, so he has chips in our hands, let's put forward some conditions, and we still have confidence! By the way, where is the buyer sacred? ”

Yang Yao smiled and said, "I'll explain this later!" I'm asking you to come here, not because I don't want to come to the cube to discuss with you in person. It's not that the identity is special and inconvenient. In fact, there are other important things that you have to tell the boss alone! ”

Qiu Long said lightly: "I thought about it, I don't know what? ”

Yang Yao said: "Hmm! Boss, do you think that just by meeting and trading with Boss Biao and saying some deterrent words, with his temperament and power, do you think he will look down on us? ”

Qiu Long said: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." If he doesn't listen, he can only do it by force! The implication is that we have to find a result.

Yang Yao said: "Have you ever thought that we can seek to cooperate with other people to deal with Boss Biao together?" ”

Qiu Long asked: "Personal grievances, it is not good to seek other people, not to mention that Boss Biao is powerful, unless a friend of life and death can help." ”

Yang Yao said: "There is an old saying, the enemy of an enemy is a friend!" We can cooperate with his enemies, use them for us, and solve the Boss Biao's business! ”

Qiu Longqi said: "Do you have the right candidate?" At this time, his heart sank, "Could it be that this buyer is a friend?" ”

"Yes, Boss! This buyer is! Not to mention that Boss Biao acts as a middleman and smuggles some private goods that the government turns a blind eye to, these governments can still tolerate it, after all, they do not pose a threat to the authorities. “

"You know, I've been in the government for several years and have a few friends in the Ministry of Intelligence. According to them, recently, Boss Biao has become more and more unruly, and even has private contacts with the rebels to exchange some important supplies. These attracted the close attention of the government, but he escaped several times when he was arrested! ”

Therefore, the government came up with a way, found a person who was often in contact with the government and Boss Biao, paid a large deposit first, bought the blind beast spars, and closed most of the hunting spots for harvesting the blind beasts, basically putting an end to the trade of the spars. I don't know if Boss Biao has been short of money recently, or if he saw the money, he agreed without thinking. Unexpectedly, the hedron was not harvested within the time stipulated for the first time. Maybe he talked about credibility, or maybe he also inquired about the buyer's information, knowing that the failure to deliver the goods this time would greatly hinder the development of the force, so he would take the risk of picking up the goods himself. ”

"We can guarantee that!" Yang Yao looked at Qiu Long with his big beautiful eyes and said with certainty.

"Definitely? We? You mean you're meeting with the buyer? Qiu Long was surprised, "I am about to meet here mysteriously, could it be that the buyer is also here?" ”

Yang Yao nodded proudly and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!" I think he's good for us, and this is the best chance to bring down Boss Biao! I brought him here, and he wants to see you urgently! Say it in advance, don't expose our relationship! ”

Qiu Long pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, what about others? ”

Yang Yao stood up and waved to the bar, and the bar staff responded. After a while, a tall man walked in through the door and walked up to Qiu Long.

"Hello! Mr. Qiulong! The man said in a deep voice, holding out his hand.

Qiu Long politely stood up, shook his hand, and motioned for the man to sit down.

Yang Yao said: "Introduction, this is Mr. Pi." This is Mr. Qiulong! ”

"Mr. Qiulong, we have a common goal!" Mr. Pi got straight to the point and said neatly. "I want to meet with you to discuss this matter, presumably Miss Yang explained the reason to you, I don't know what you think?"

Qiu Long stared at Mr. Pi and did not speak for a long time. Mr. Pi looked at the other party calmly, very patiently waiting for Qiu Long to make a statement.

Finally, Qiu Long said: "I need to understand two things, I hope Mr. Pi can answer me truthfully!" ”

Mr. Pi looked at Yang Yao, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

"Who are you representing this meeting? How can we work together? Qiu Long asked.

Mr. Pi's expression became solemn, looked into Qiu Long's eyes, and said slowly: "One, I represent the interests of my own group; Second, I am familiar with the way to deal with some special things, and this time I was able to limit the number of people Boss Biao met to three. ”

"In addition, I will still pay you the price that Boss Biao can give you. However, the hedron is mine. It's best for you to solve it, Boss. ”

Qiu Long raised his eyes and said, "Why do I believe you?" ”

Mr. Pi said coldly: "At this point, Miss Yang Yao can be a guarantee." Mr. Qiu Long, I know that you and a few friends are not in the government, and they are in the business of hunting and trading government contraband, according to the current situation, it should be in the scope of the law enforcement department's attention. When we meet this time, individual government departments are aware. But on balance, you're the best partner for me to work with. If it comes to pass, I will take care of your history, and the government will not be to blame for the past, and I believe that I have the ability. I am also confident that you will make the right decision. Also, my mission is to send reinforcements from the outside, and you're going to go there yourself! ”

Qiu Long looked at Yang Yao with annoyance in her heart, but she smiled awkwardly and shrugged her shoulders. The meaning is very clear, the two powers are expedient, do the right thing.

Qiu Long thought that what this Mr. Pi said was right, under the current conditions, according to the plan he said, first solve Boss Biao, and then make a decision on the rest of the things.

The matter has been decided, and there is not much to say. Qiu Long stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Mr. Pi's hand and say goodbye. Mr. Pi shook hands with a smile and turned to leave.

At this time, Qiu Long suddenly asked, "Where I hunted the spar this time, did Mr. Pi deliberately arrange to reduce the number of patrols?" ”

Mr. Pi did not look back, nor did he answer, but after a slight pause, he continued to walk out.

The dragon suddenly fell into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold!
