One day in early July, the streets were scorching with heat.

If you want to talk about the climatic conditions of this S city, it's really not good, it basically belongs to the kind of summer heat and winter cold, and in the middle of summer and the high temperature, the asphalt road is so hot that it can be used to fry poached eggs. There is no way, this year, the amount of carbon emitted in big cities ......

At noon, a man in ragged clothes arrived at No. 13 Dongfang Road. He turned into the side alley, walked up the fire staircase to the second floor, and pulled out the string of keys from the pocket of his worn-out jeans.

The door opened, and there was a foreigner sitting in the room, who was watching TV there boredly, and when he saw the person who came in, he didn't bother to move at all, but asked in a very casual tone, "Are you back?"

Dowling closed the door, picked up a thing on the table that was three parts like a towel and seven points like a rag, and wiped his face: "It's terrible...... That hide-and-seek monster ......."

Elbert said, "That poster demon I dealt with is amazing."

Dowling was dissatisfied, "Oh! Terrible? Oh Damn, why did you come back earlier than me?"

Elbert smiled bitterly, "I'm just ten minutes ahead of you......

At this time, there was a sound of parking outside, and after more than ten seconds, the door opened again, and it was a steel hammer that came in, but he was in good spirits and did not sweat much: "Yo! Boys, is this morning's battle over?"

Dowling squatted in front of the refrigerator rummaging through the cold drinks: "Don't worry, my struggle with you on the road of life has never stopped......

Gangyi smiled, "I'm just going to come over and take a look, it seems that you guys are doing a good job, then I'll be relieved." He said as if he was going out.

"Let's go? I said, who the hell runs this office?" Dowling said unhappily.

"At this stage, I already have other jobs, although July and August are holidays, but I am relatively busy in life, so what do I say...... From now on, let this place be in charge of the two of you."

Elbert interjected, "Mr. Steel, since we are talking about management, I have to mention that our firm has a serious financial deficit!"

Dowling was more direct: "Hmm...... To put it simply, we're both too poor to open the pot."

They really didn't deceive people, although the main business of this supernatural detective agency of Steel Hammer is still to catch ghosts, but the real source of income has to rely on taking over some ordinary commissions.

We have also mentioned before that when worked alone, the most lucrative business here was to find evidence of the cheating of the rich and rich women. Audio recordings, photographs, and even video recordings. All of them can be obtained, and his methods cannot be described as clever or professional...... That's a god's ......

But when he and Dowling went to Chengdu, this place basically became a scene of Elbert supporting himself, this handsome German guy, aside from technical problems, just the image of his foreigner...... It is too eye-catching to do the business of tracking and candid photography, which directly leads to the loss of a lot of customers of steel hammer.

Moreover, there are indeed not many people who will hire private investigators these days, and Dowling and Elbert are equivalent to accepting a firm from Steelhammer that has no real profit and can only make some ghost coins.

"Those ghost coins from Uncle Tuowu, the regent, and the few times before, some marginal people spent money to buy some information here, although it feels like we have money in our pockets...... But you can't take this paper money out and spend it, can you?" Dowling asked.

Steelhammer thought for a moment, "Hmm...... Kind of makes sense, so let's ......" He grabbed a pen and paper on the table and drew it, completing a scribbled map in just a dozen seconds, "You can go to the 'scare box' and exchange some cash."

Both Dowling and Elbert had an inexplicable look on their faces, and asked in unison, "Where are you going?"

"The Scare Box is a place name, you go three blocks south, find a sewer opening, and go in, huh...... Don't forget to cover the manhole...... Then, follow my instructions in this diagram, walk for fifteen minutes, and you should be able to find it. It's the underground trading center of S City, where you can exchange all kinds of ideas for marginals, ghost hunters, youkai, ghosts, and all kinds of guys

Of course, if you are in such a hurry to exchange money, you will definitely have to give some profits to others." Steel Hammer explained.

Dowling was shocked: "What? There are a bunch of demons and monsters gathered in the sewers, and you, the person in charge of the city, know that you don't care? Are you preparing to promote economic prosperity?"

"Almost every big city has a market like this, each with its own name, and there are also such markets in several neutral cities in the Yin and Yang world. The basic rules of entry are to hide spiritual sense, ensure neutrality, do not fight or cause trouble, and if there are any personal grievances, they will always go outside to settle them. By the way, you have to strictly abide by what I said above, or else you ......."

Elbert's expression became a little nervous: "How else ......?"

"If you break the rules there, the boss of that market will come and sanction you...... I won't talk about the specific situation, so as not to scare you, anyway, remember, although this 'scare box' is under the city of S, it is not under the jurisdiction of the person in charge of the city, and if you cause trouble, you can only ask for more blessings." Steelhammer replied, "Hmm...... I have been talking to you for a long time unconsciously, but I came here on my way home from shopping, so I have to go, goodbye."

With that, he closed the door and left, and the sound of him running down the stairs and starting the car could still be heard, Elbert shrugged, "Do you need to be in such a hurry?"

Dowling said, "Let me think about it...... If he goes back too late, his wife might slap the pan into the wall and he won't be able to pick it out......

Elbert wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Huh...... I really don't understand why a married man should get married when his life is like a nightmare."

Dowling ripped off his torn clothes and pulled out a fairly clean T-shirt from nowhere, "I didn't understand it before, but lately, ......" he looked ahead thoughtfully, "Forget it, when you meet a good woman one day, you will understand."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them went out for two bowls of the cheapest beef ramen, and then walked three blocks south as said.

Albert found a manhole cover at random, put two fingers into the gap, and lifted the manhole cover without much effort, and Dowling glanced at him, "I've been getting a lot of strength lately."

Elbert replied to him in Chinese: "Carving insect skills."

Unexpectedly, Dowling immediately answered: "It's really not good, why don't you two do this business of stealing manhole covers in the future......
