After Chen Mo got out of the car, the driver drove away like a frightened hare with a burst of engine screaming.
Chen Mo walked on the gloomy and dark street. Qingping Street seemed to be without electricity, and it was pitch black.
On both sides of the street are some shabby storefronts.
Chen Mo looked at everything around him. At this moment, his heart was surprisingly calm.
Chen Mo came today to find a man named Brother Hu.
He has long heard that Brother Hu has been taking in some desperate people here and conducting some kind of secret experiments.
He didn't know the specific content of the experiment, but he knew that the other party would pay a sum of money in advance.
Brother Hu's reputation and integrity are well-known in this area. Others may cheat and deceive, but Brother Hu will never do it.
Of course, Chen Mo has no choice now!
Chen Mo was walking on the road when he suddenly paused and turned to look at the dark street corner not far behind.
"I was actually targeted by someone who was robbed..."
Robbers and homeless people can be seen everywhere on Qingping Street, and their identities occasionally change.
After walking a few more steps, several women with heavy makeup walked up. The pungent smell of perfume made Chen Mo feel dizzy.
When a group of women surround you on Qingping Street, they either want to take your kidney, or they want to take your kidney and then take your kidney.
......
On Qingping Street, never fantasize about the plot of urban novels. There are only ethics here, not horror movies...
After rejecting the women, he took two steps forward. Before the robbers could take action, a middle-aged man asked: "Young man, are you selling your organs? I specialize in collecting kidneys and eyeballs here.
Don’t worry, they will give you an anesthetic. You only need to sleep for a while, and you will get a sum of money the next day. You can exchange it for a lot of money, and you can go to the casino to make money and pick up the hottest girls.”<
/p>
Chen Mo leaned towards the other person, his drunken face was covered with fat, an unpleasant stench came from his clothes, and his head was bald, with only a few hairs stubbornly surviving on a circle around his skull. It looked like
Too much indulgence.
On the long street, countless people were similar to this middle-aged man. Their expressions were filled with numbness. In the dirty alleys, the sounds of bargaining between prostitutes and women could also be heard.
There is chaos and disorder here.
No one cares about the clogged sewers, and dirty things are flowing on the ground. Because many high-rise elevators have been broken for a long time, people living on high floors are unwilling to go downstairs to take out the garbage, so they throw garbage and excrement down.
p>
Qingping Street seems to have always looked like this, dilapidated and old. Like the residents on this street, people can’t feel any vitality.
There is a foul smell everywhere.
Chen Mo glanced at the middle-aged man next to him. He wanted to say, I can sell my brain tumor to you cheaper.
But he didn't want to cause trouble, so he said seriously, "No, I'm here to see Brother Hu."
As soon as the word "Brother Tiger" came out of his mouth, the middle-aged man's numb, fat face shook, and then he walked away with a sneer. Everyone around him also looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo walked forward according to the address on the business card, and soon saw a game arcade.
Stepping into the game hall, a wave of heat hit my face, and my ears were filled with noisy shouts and hip-hop.
The entire game hall was very large, with noisy speakers playing very rhythmic music. The loud volume made Chen Mo feel dizzy.
The game area is clearly arranged with larger game machines. Almost every table is crowded with excited players. Most of the players are young people. There is a row of automatic drink machines against the wall, and there is also a dedicated
Smoking area.
He walked to the front desk, where a girl wearing pink headphones and dressed in a video game punk style was tapping on the keyboard. Looking at her angry expression, she knew that she was "confronting" with someone again.
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, and after the little girl finished typing a long string of curse words, he tentatively asked: "Hello, I would like to ask, Hu, where is Brother Hu?"
Contrary to Chen Mo's expectation, when the little girl heard the word "Brother Tiger", the angry expression on her face instantly disappeared, she turned off the computer screen directly, then stood up with a smile, and said to Chen Mo: "Mr.
Please come with me."
The girl with pink headphones led Chen Mo towards the deepest part of the game hall.
The noise gradually became quieter until it became completely quiet.
Here and outside seem like two incompatible worlds.
He saw a room door with [Qing Ping Le] written on it.
The door frame is made of bronze, with strange patterns and symbols carved on it, while the door panel is pitch black, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, which makes people look rich and noble.
Chen Mo murmured in his heart, how could Brother Tiger, who has a big name and a bad name, do all these frivolous things?
As he thought about it, he became more and more curious about Brother Tiger.
The girl with pink headphones led Chen Mo to the door but did not walk in.
Chen Mo opened the door and walked in. The room was dark.
After his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Chen Mo discovered that there was someone sitting in this dark room.
The man was wearing a black robe. He looked young. He was a young man, but he had silver-white hair. His long hair hung down from the edge of his hood. If it hadn't been for this silver hair, Chen Mo wouldn't have noticed that he was still sitting here.
Holding a person.
He was leaning on an ebony cane.
The ebony cane exuded a strange luster. Chen Mo knew it was not a mortal thing, but he didn't ask.
Brother Hu has a thin face, with the aloofness and nobility of a young man from an aristocratic family. He has a handsome short ponytail, the lines of his face are like sculptures, and the young man's eyes are extremely clear.
No matter how you look at it, it's not the same as Chen Mo's expectation of Brother Hu, who is tall and thick.
"You, are you Brother Tiger?" Chen Mo asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
The young man did not answer him, but smiled and said: "You are very brave, you dare to come to Qingping Street alone so late."
Chen Mo didn't answer, but Brother Hu continued: "My name is Yuan Qihu, you can just call me Brother Hu like others."
"Okay Brother Tiger." Chen Mo's face had no expression.
"Okay, tell me, why do you want to participate in this experiment?"
"Because of lack of money."
"Something happened at home?" Yuan Qihu still looked calmly.
"Hmm."
Yuan Qihu did not continue to ask, but thought for a moment and said: "Tell me, what are your specialties?"
"English level 8, primary school math Olympiad competition..."
"Stop, stop, stop, do you have that kind of speciality that makes people shine?"
Your eyes light up?
Chen Mo thought for a while and said tentatively: "I have stayed in the countryside for a year before, and I know a little bit about the postpartum care of sows."
"Hmm!! Not bad! Is there any more?"
Yuan Qihu's eyes lit up.
It doesn't matter if this light comes on, it actually scares Chen Mo. Is it really okay for you to stare at me with your eyes like light bulbs...
"Well... I also know some psychology and criminal investigation, and I am good at solving crimes and reasoning."
"Well, that's good. As soon as you walked in, I felt that you have a very good character, which is good." Yuan Qihu was cheerful and seemed to be very satisfied.
Suddenly, he said seriously: "However, I think your dark circles are a bit heavy. The harm of craftsmanship is much greater than imagined, and it must not be taken lightly."
Chen Mo's expression froze and he smiled awkwardly.
Yuan Qihu did not continue to "raise points", but handed Chen Mo a thick brown paper bag, and then said with a smile: "There are 100,000 yuan here, and if you can pass our test, there is still a balance of 50,000 yuan.
”
Chen Mo took the money.
Yuan Qihu thought for a while and then said: "Participation in this experiment is entirely voluntary. You coming to me is an opportunity and a challenge, but it is by no means a burden. If you don't want to participate, you can leave at any time.
Here, as for me, I will also give you this hundred thousand yuan, as a kind of fate."
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly asked: "What are the benefits of passing the test?"
Yuan Qihu did not answer his question, but asked one last time, "Are you willing to participate in this experiment?"
Judging from Brother Hu’s tone, there is a high chance of a narrow escape from death by participating in this experiment.
This is undoubtedly a life and death gamble!
But I already have nothing, so what if I make the move without regrets?
Just be a little more reckless.
Chen Mo nodded, "I volunteer to participate."
"Very good." Yuan Qihu nodded, handed Chen Mo a black tail ring, and then said: "When you are ready, put it on and the experiment will begin. It must start within today."
Experiment."
After saying that, Yuan Qihu made a sign to see off the guests.
