At the same time, Leo and Jason boarded the carriage again, but they did not go directly back to Leo's apartment. Instead, they drove towards the garden cemetery at Leo's instruction.
"Do you know what's going on?" Jason did not pay attention to the special bureau, but paid attention to the dead subordinate.
"You seem to be particularly concerned about this matter?" Leo looked at Jason and said with a smile.
"Alas!" Jason sighed and explained helplessly: "Originally, I didn't want to compete for the position of person in charge of a large freight terminal, but Lisa said that since I am the president of the porters' union and the manager of a terminal warehouse,
It no longer suited my status and I needed a higher position. The people under me also wanted me to have greater power in the dock area, so I submitted my name. At the time, I didn’t think about whether I could
Success, I did not ask Nelson to help block lobbyists, nor did I ask those powerful people who can influence decision-making." As he said, he smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "But the results will be out in two days, but I
I feel a little nervous, maybe in my heart I still care about whether I can be successfully elected, so I am worried about any negative news related to me during this period."
"You don't have to worry about this, there won't be any news." Leo said with great certainty. The reason why he was so sure was because the Special Bureau of the Kingdom of England would definitely cover up all matters related to extraordinary power, and would not let ordinary people know about it.
People know it, just like the sacrifice that took place in the cemetery was not known to the public.
After so many years, Jason is naturally no longer as reckless as he was back then, and his mind is much more flexible. He quickly realized what Leo's words were implying, and confirmed: "Is it because of that special round?"
Leo nodded and said: "Yes, they should be a special department established by the kingdom, specifically responsible for handling various matters related to extraordinary power within the kingdom." As he said, he looked at Jason and said: "Use
It won't take long for them to contact you, and they may even invite you to join the special bureau."
"Contact me and join the Special Bureau?" Jason asked with a confused look on his face: "Why are you looking for me?"
Leo reminded: "Do you remember what I told you about your body's bloodline?"
Jason was stunned. He quickly remembered that Leo had mentioned that he had the blood of a giant in his body before, and that it had been aroused. However, he didn't care at the time, and didn't think it was true. He just thought it was true.
Leo was joking.
"Are you telling the truth? Do I really have giant blood?" Even now, Jason was still a little unbelievable and confirmed.
Leo nodded and asked suggestively: "Haven't you noticed any abnormalities in your body over the years? For example, you have never gotten sick again, and your body will recover quickly even if it is injured."
After hearing Leo's words, Jason quickly fell into memories, and quickly remembered some strange things that had happened to him over the years.
As Leo mentioned, he has indeed never been sick again in these years, and he does recover quickly after being injured. However, the biggest abnormality in his memory is not these subtle changes in his body, but a few things that made him
Something I still don’t understand.
A few years ago, he was once blocked in an alley by a group of dock gangsters, and he was beaten unconscious by them. However, when he finally woke up, he was in a remote dock warehouse with his body
His clothes were in tatters, there were corpses of gangsters all around him, and the walls and floor of the warehouse were cracked.
The same thing happened several times later, and each time when he was in danger of life and death, this abnormal situation would occur. The last time he even retained a little vague memory, in which there seemed to be a giant helping him to kill.
Killed those who attacked him.
Now after Leo's prompting, he felt that the giant in his memory might not be some mysterious protector, but himself.
Just when Jason was lost in memories and felt a little overwhelmed, Leo said again: "The special bureau agent used some extraordinary power on you just now, but your blood blocked his power. Now he knows
You are different from ordinary people. According to the working habits of their special bureau, they will definitely investigate you first, then contact you and invite you to join the special bureau."
Jason saw that Leo seemed to know a lot about the special bureau, so he asked, "Have you joined that special bureau too?"
"No." Leo shook his head. In his opinion, whether it is the Earth Federation or the current world of Velen, the secret departments of any country have similar methods of doing things. He can easily guess the next steps of those in the Special Bureau.
How to do it.
"Do you think I should join?" Jason was a little confused. After a moment of confusion, he asked again.
"I think you should join." Leo gave a suggestion: "I don't know much about the giant bloodline. I don't know what impact your body will have if you continue to change. However, the special bureau is different. They should have a lot of relevant information.
, there are even methods on how to develop your body’s bloodline, so based on your own merits alone, you should join the Special Bureau. In addition, the Special Bureau is a secret department of the Kingdom of England. Judging from the situation just now,
They have a lot of power, and your joining will be of great help to your career at the dock. The only thing you lose is your absolute freedom, and you need to obey some orders when necessary."
"Yeah." Jason nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I still have to think about it, and I'll talk about it then."
Hearing Jason's words, Leo also agreed, and sighed in his heart that Jason had indeed changed a lot. In the past, Jason would have followed Leo's advice without hesitation, and would not have his own subjective consciousness like he does now.
.
"Where are we going now?" Jason asked in confusion after putting aside the matters of the Special Bureau and returning his attention to the present.
"Go to the black market." Leo replied.
"Black market?" Jason was stunned and said, "If you go to the black market, you seem to have gone in the wrong direction. The location of the black market should be in the old factory area."
Leo explained: "It's not the black market you went to, it's another black market."
Jason was stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered a rumor he had heard, which was that there were actually two black markets in Port Set.
One is the black market in the old factory area that specializes in selling contraband and smuggled goods. This black market is also the black market he often goes to. As one of the managers of the dock warehouse, he always has some smuggled goods and contraband on hand to sell. Compared with
It is better to sell it to the established chambers of commerce that are closely related to the nobles than to sell it on the black market. Although the price may not be the highest, it is much safer.
As for the other black market, it was just an unreliable rumor that Jason heard. Rumor has it that there is a very mysterious black market in Port Set. This black market specializes in selling some mysterious items that most people in the world have never seen. It’s just that this black market
The specific location is erratic and there is no fixed location. The only thing that can be known is that the black market is in the underground cemetery.
Jason had looked for this mysterious black market in the past out of curiosity, but in the end he just spent two days feeding mosquitoes in the cemetery, so in his mind the black market was the same as the various urban legends circulating in Port Set.
Unreliable.
But now from Leo, he knew that the mysterious black market really existed, which immediately made him excited and curious, and he couldn't wait to ask questions related to the black market.
For example, there are rumors that sound ridiculous, such as whether it is really possible to buy pockets on the black market that allow people to gain endless wealth.
Leo didn't answer, he was just thinking about the previous scene that looked like a sacrifice, and the blood covering the entire wall of the room.
Jason's men claimed that the man suddenly said one day before that his body and eyes could be healed, and he was very sure about it. This shows that he must have seen successful examples, otherwise he would have such a will.
It is impossible for a blind man who is determined, suspicious and alert to borrow a large sum of money for such a ridiculous thing.
While in the house, Leo had already checked the situation inside and outside the house through the mental network. He found that except for a small amount of change in the bedside table, the deceased had no other money or other valuables. Obviously, the deceased had no other money or valuables.
The money borrowed from a colleague has been spent.
If the money was spent according to normal channels, then the people from the Special Bureau will definitely find some clues. But judging from the situation just now, the Special Bureau obviously does not have any useful clues, which means that the money was spent in a non-official way.
It is spent through normal channels. The only way to heal the body and eyes of the deceased is various extraordinary powers, and the black market is definitely a place where items containing extraordinary powers are sold without attracting anyone's attention and no one can trace them.
..
In addition, Leo also found that the Special Bureau did not seem to be surprised by the tragedy that happened in that room. The first thing they thought of after entering was to stop Jason from telling anyone. It seems that this is not the first time that the Special Bureau has experienced the same situation. Others have experienced it before.
Similar cases must have occurred in the local area, and the Special Bureau has not found any useful clues. It seems that only a place like the black market can intercept the Special Bureau's investigation.
As Leo thought, the carriage soon arrived at the garden cemetery. In order to show respect for the deceased, except for the hearse specially escorting the coffin, no carriage or steam car was allowed to drive in the cemetery. Everyone could only
Walk forward, even for those who come to visit graves.
The garden cemetery is much brighter during the day. Even in the jungle of the cemetery, there is a lot of sunlight passing through the branches and leaves and falling on the ground. Many civilians and middle class people in Port Sète are not qualified to go to the garden, which only the rich and powerful in the city can go to.
area, so they chose to use the large amount of vegetation as a garden for them to play during the day. For this reason, the city government even opened some open spaces with no trees and mowed lawns in the garden cemetery specifically for civilians to play.
required.
Therefore, there are usually many people in the cemetery during the day, and many vendors gather there. Since they cannot enter their cars, most of the vendors carry the things they want to sell on their backs, and then enter the cemetery to sell.
However, it is now close to evening. Although it is still very bright, the sunset can already be seen in the distance. Soon it will be dark. Many people who played in the garden cemetery during the day began to walk out one after another.
It is for this reason that Leo and Jason, who are walking inward against the crowd and are tall and strong, are particularly eye-catching at this time. Almost everyone who walks by them can't help but take a look at them.
indivual.
Leo, who did not expect this situation, said mockingly: "It seems that I chose the wrong time to enter the cemetery. I should have been in the carriage just now, waiting for it to get dark and everyone was gone before I came in."
Jason, who was also not used to being noticed, didn't say anything. He just lowered the brim of his hat and collar to cover his face. However, his figure was really easy to remember, and he was often a poor man living in port porters.
He is often seen in the area, so many people know him, and there are some family members of porters among them. They also came up to say hello to Jason, and shouted several times to support him in becoming the person in charge of the freight terminal.
This made Jason very embarrassed.
However, this predicament soon passed. As they entered the depths of the cemetery, the number of people on the main street quickly decreased. At the end, only the two of them were left walking on the street, and the sky gradually became darker at this time.
dim down.
Although the number of people playing in the cemetery has decreased, other people who are keeping vigil for their relatives are still there. They all stay in the tombs of their families or relatives, lighting the latest fish oil lamps invented by the Kingdom of England, and waiting for the next day.
The next morning.
"I didn't expect that the black market would be in the cemetery." Jason suddenly sighed on the road and asked doubtfully: "But how did they hide their traces? I didn't know there was such a black market in Port Sète for so many years?
"
Jason's unintentional question attracted Leo's attention. As Jason said, it is incredible that this black market has not been discovered in Port Set for so many years.
Although there are very few people who know about the black market, judging from the many times they have entered the black market before, there are at least a hundred people in the entire city of Set who know where the black market is and how to enter it. Not everyone of these people can.
Although they are keeping secret, people like Jason who already have a certain status among the people still don't know about this black market, so this matter is a bit strange. There is no doubt that the officials of the Kingdom of England are hiding the black market information.
It played a lot of roles.
Thinking of this, Leo suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid the black market has an official background from England?"
Leo's voice was not loud, but the surroundings were very quiet. Jason on the side naturally heard it, but he just didn't understand what Leo said. He looked at Leo blankly.
Leo thought for a moment, turned around, and said to Jason: "We will work separately in the black market later."
Chapter completed!
