Chapter 1933 There are short-lived ghosts in the Longevity Association
"Damn it, I was cheated!"
On the bottom floor of the cruise ship, Zhang Youzi was lying among a pile of debris and garbage, enduring the unspeakable stench in the cabin. He was in a terrible mood.
The ticket that the so-called Brother Dao gave him was not a ticket at all, but a temporary work contract. As soon as he got on the ship, he was taken to the bottom by the sailors before he could even take a breath. He did dirty work and had to hide it with great difficulty.
Come and be lazy in the cargo hold.
"It's the fault of being uneducated again. If I had known better, I wouldn't have dropped out of school."
Zhang Youzi crossed his legs and murmured to himself: "When you finish this job, you must draw a clear line with Tao Laogou.
But how do you get to the upper deck of the cruise ship now?"
According to the previous routine, it was nothing more than finding a rich man, stealing his money and clothes, and then pretending to be his identity to get into the upper echelons.
But now there is some trouble. He is not a passenger now, but a sailor. He can't even go to the ordinary passenger cabin. It's really a headache.
"Why don't you forget it? I won't do any bullshit tasks."
Zhang Youzi thought for a while, but still had no clue. He gave up on himself after having a headache, "Let's see if there are any valuable goods here. We can steal an escape boat back to Tianjin Port while we are not far from the port."
Zhang Youzi turned over and jumped up. He looked around and found an iron rod. He then pried off the wooden box he had just been lying on.
"Um?
This is..." In the rectangular wooden box, in addition to the foam used to reduce pressure, there are neatly stacked black block objects. Each piece is about the size of a person's palm. It is a bit heavy to start with. It is estimated that there are five
Six pounds.
"What the hell?
Bricks?”
Zhang Youzi had never seen such a thing before. He took out a piece and bit it with his mouth. He found that it was not metal and it was not edible: "It's useless. Forget it. Let's look at other boxes."
After prying through more than a dozen boxes in a row, Zhang Youzi was completely confused by the fact that they were all filled with such incomprehensible things.
"What on earth is this? Is it valuable?"
Zhang Youzi was puzzled, and based on the principle that thieves would not leave empty-handed, he touched a few pieces and hid them on his body.
Before he had time to pry through other boxes, voices suddenly sounded outside.
Zhang Youzi was startled, quickly covered the boxes again, and secretly hid them in a hidden corner.
Almost at the same time, three people sneaked in and quietly closed the hatch.
"How are you thinking about it?"
One of the tall and muscular men said coldly.
The other two seemed to be sailors, because Zhang Youzi smelled a strong smell of the sea from them, as well as an unconcealable body odor.
"This, this is not easy to handle."
Sailor A said hesitantly.
The tall man said coldly: "You don't want to make money?"
"But there are three to four thousand people on the ship. If..." Sailor A said in a very unsteady tone, "I really can't bear it."
"I'm not asking you to kill people. Why are you pretending that you can't bear it?"
The tall man said murderously: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I just want to ask you whether you want to do it or not!"
The sailor man sighed: "Okay, I'll do it."
"And you?"
The tall man looked at the other man.
Sailor B only said: "More money is required, and it must be paid in advance."
"Money is not a problem, I can give you half of it now."
The tall man said calmly: "But afterwards, you must keep your mouth shut. If any information is leaked, you and your family will die."
Regarding this point, the two sailors had no objections and nodded.
"As soon as the ship enters the high seas, you will take action."
The tall man was very satisfied with the reaction of the two people. He casually opened the wooden box next to him and took out a piece of "black brick" that Zhang Youzi had just thought of. He ordered: "Above the third floor, you don't need to do anything. I have another one."
arrange.
On other floors, every room and corridor must be posted every ten meters, do you understand?"
"clear."
The two people said in unison.
The three people discussed in secret for a few more words before leaving in a hurry.
Zhang Youzi, who was hiding in the dark, could only hear a general idea, but his expression was no longer good. Someone on the ship seemed to be plotting something big, and it sounded like it was not good.
"What on earth are these?"
Zhang Youzi took out the two "black bricks" he had just stolen from his arms and said, "It seems that this ship is not safe. I have to find a way to steal a lifeboat back to Tianjin Port as soon as possible."
As for the task that Brother Dao gave him, he has already forgotten it. Everything is important to save his life, and everything else is bullshit.
With this in mind, Zhang Youzi waited for a while and then quietly slipped out.
... Near midnight, the housekeeper William knocked on the door of Xia Tian and Ah Jiu: "Master, the exchange meeting will begin soon."
After a while, the door opened, and Xia Tian and Ah Jiu walked out together. Both of them were dressed casually, wearing whatever was comfortable for them. They were not interested in any famous brands or designs.
William, the butler, stared straight ahead and said with a smile: "The exchange meeting is on the 12th floor. Please follow me."
"You, lead the way."
Ah Jiu nodded.
"OK."
Butler William walked in front, about one and a half steps ahead of the two of them. He leaned slightly sideways and explained to them the precautions at the exchange meeting from time to time: "This exchange meeting is semi-public. In principle, all passengers on the ship can
join.
However, people with invitation letters have priority in transactions and can choose not to disclose their identities."
Ah Jiu asked casually: "How many people will there usually be in an exchange meeting?"
"There are no regulations on this. There will probably be less than a hundred people this time."
Butler William slowly explained: "There will be no more than sixty invitations at a time, and there are some thresholds for people who do not receive invitations, so that most of the people who are just joining in the fun can be isolated."
"What threshold?"
Ah Jiu Shuang asked.
"you still need to ask?
No matter where you are, the best threshold is money."
At this time, a rather unkind voice sounded from the side, "If you have money, especially if you have enough money, you can do whatever you want, like me."
The person who came was Cai Jiaxu, and he was accompanied by someone who looked familiar to Xia Tian. He was Xu Xiaojun, Xu Jiaona's cousin.
A few days ago, this little girl was not shy about Cai Jiaxu, but now she is holding his arm very naturally. This change is really too big, and I don't know what happened during this period.
"Xia Tian, as you can see, now Xiaojun is mine, you'd better not have any ideas about her."
Cai Jiaxu seemed to have forgotten what he had been beaten by Xia Tian before, and still warned self-righteously.
Xu Xiaojun also glanced at Xia Tian with a rather apologetic look, but said nothing.
"idiot."
Xia Tian was not interested in other people's affairs and didn't bother to ask. He just scolded Cai Jiaxu.
"Xia Tian, remember this for me!"
Cai Jiaxu was still upset and glared at Xia Tian and said: "You won't gain anything from this longevity meeting. No matter what you want to buy, I will get it at ten times the price."
"Then you may not have enough money."
Ah Jiu couldn't help laughing. Although she didn't know how much property Xia Tian had, just a miracle doctor group was a behemoth that many rich people looked up to. In addition, he also had medical skills that could earn sky-high prices at any time. Who could compare with him in this world?
There are really not many people with a lot of money, let alone this idiot in front of me.
"snort!"
Cai Jiaxu snorted coldly and slowly walked into the exchange meeting venue with Xu Xiaojun in his arms.
Before entering, Xu Xiaojun suddenly turned around and gave Xia Xia an unclear look, but still did not say anything.
"Do you know this little girl?"
Of course Ah Jiu also saw the look in Xu Xiaojun's eyes, "She looks like she has encountered some difficulty."
"We know each other, but we are not familiar with each other."
Xia Tian had an indifferent expression: "Jiu Yatou, whether she encounters any difficulties or not, it has nothing to do with us."
Ah Jiu thought to herself, they still have a lot of troubles that they haven't solved yet.
"The venue is right in front. According to regulations, it's not convenient for me to go in, so I waited outside."
Butler William stood in front of the venue with a smile on his face, "Of course, if the master needs anything, you can always ask me to do it."
Xia Tian said lazily: "No need, just stay here."
After saying that, he put his arms around Ah Jiu's slender waist, pushed open the door of the venue, and walked in slowly.
Inside the venue, the space was quite large, with more than a dozen large round tables. There were already quite a few people sitting around those round tables. It looked more like a dinner party than an exchange meeting.
They arrived late in the summer, so they didn't have many choices. They just picked the nearest empty table and sat down.
"The people here...are a bit strange."
Ah Jiu looked around at the people at the venue, and the situation was somewhat beyond her expectation.
She originally thought that most of the people who came to participate in the so-called longevity meeting must be old people in their fifties and sixties like Fang Tianqi. After all, people only have such unrealistic ideas when they are approaching death.
However, at this time, most of the people in the venue were under the age of forty, and there were even a few minors. This situation was really puzzling.
"Jiu Yatou, what's weird about this."
Xia Tian yawned lazily and said disapprovingly.
Ah Jiu said what he thought, and then asked: "Don't you find it strange at all? These people are obviously still young, and they are young. If they are not busy enjoying life, how can they seek immortality?"
Xia Tian chuckled: "Jiu Yatou, you are also a bit stupid.
People who seek immortality are not necessarily old men, there are also people who are about to die."
"What?"
Ah Jiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then realized: "You mean these people..." "Yes."
Xia Tian nodded, "The people in this Immortality Society are all short-lived ghosts."
Xia Tian's words first made the people at the same table extremely dissatisfied. One of them stood up, glared at Xia Tian fiercely, and roared: "Who the hell are you calling a short-lived ghost?"
