After the Tongzilou ambush, the turf wars on Green Street temporarily ceased.
Not only did the Steam Party admit their mistake and signed the armistice agreement, but more importantly, the "Red Devil" Gron became a cadre of the Cross, responsible for guarding several teams near Green Street. There is such a powerful second-level profession
If the attacker exists, if the other party wants to do evil again, the price to pay will be much higher.
As for the "scythe", the information left by the monster's memory fragments is different from human memory. It is vague and simple. There is only the concept of forks and turns, but no space concept of up, down, left, and right. Therefore, Su Lun knows how to enter from the entrance of the cave.
How can I find it, but I don't know its precise location.
This means that if he wants to find it, he has to go down again from the cave in Tongzi Tower.
Before he could no longer protect himself, Su Lun was not stupid enough to go down again.
Therefore, his goal is to find his suitable alchemy equipment as soon as possible.
He planned to try his luck on the black market and see if he could buy higher-end blueprints.
Unless absolutely necessary, he was unwilling to go to the gang headquarters to exchange for the silver blueprint of the [Thousand Killing Wings].
After all, in that case, redeeming the blueprint would expose the fact that his body's containment value is very high, which might attract the attention of interested people.
Normal people know that, unless there are special circumstances, the higher the containment value, the higher the level of the breathing method.
As for high-level breathing techniques, most of them are mastered by the top chaebols in the inner city, and are even the exclusive techniques of some big families.
Su Lun felt more and more that the [Haigham Breathing Technique] that the original master learned was of a very high level and must not be able to see the light.
In the short term, he still plans to be his little transparent.
.......
The "Shadow Alley" black market holds an auction every month with varying times.
During the auction, hunters, mercenaries and professional thieves focus on selling goods, and black market shop owners will also auction good things and collections collected from various channels, so there will also be many good things.
On this day, Su Lun got the newly delivered "Old Rington News" in the hotel.
In an inconspicuous wide-angle corner, he saw a message.
[Recruitment information: Greenham Printing Factory is recruiting 12 workers, with a monthly salary of 2,180 liso, working day and night shifts...]
The translation is, Sunday, 12 o'clock at night. 2180 is half of the invitation code. People who often visit the black market have another code, and when added together, it becomes the invitation code.
It is said that each force obtains the code from a different source, not just the same message in the newspaper. If something goes wrong, the organizer behind the black market can follow the code and find out where the problem lies.
It is worth mentioning that "cryptography" is an entry-level ability for alchemists.
The code in the newspaper is also the simplest application.
In the last era when alchemy was brilliantly developed (a thousand years ago), in order to prevent their research results from being stolen by others, and to conceal the secrets of some amazing research, alchemists would chop up their knowledge and scatter it in many places.
.
The contents of almost all ancient alchemy scrolls handed down today are hidden in codes, which must be deciphered to know the contents. The purpose is to make the people who come into contact truly worthy of it.
Therefore, the phrase "one book opens another book" that Sir Isaac, known as the "Alchemical Demigod", often mentioned in his notes, has also become the motto of later alchemists.
...
Su Lun asked Kai for a day off, saying he was going to visit the black market.
Because of Tongzilou's experience in adversity, he now has a special relationship with Kai, and his request for leave went smoothly.
He planned to try his luck at the auction to see if he could find a suitable installation blueprint, and also to see if he could exchange for another rune gun.
After all, [Three-Headed Ghost] is so recognizable that even a member of the gang would recognize it as the gun of the killer "Ironhead" Ivan.
Taking the tram to the Bird Street intersection in North City, Su Lun arrived here two hours early.
After observing that there was nothing suspicious around him, he walked towards "Shadow Alley".
There is an auction tonight, so access control is installed.
A small window opened behind the iron door, and the toll collector was a strong man with tattoos on his hands.
Everyone who enters needs to submit an invitation code and pay an entry fee of 5,000 liso.
He spent five thousand without buying anything, which made Su Lun feel a little distressed. But this was also to eliminate the vast majority of people who just came to watch the fun.
This was not Su Lun's first time coming to the black market, and he was already familiar with it.
But when I came today, there were indeed many more people here than usual. Most of them were wearing big windbreakers and caps covering their faces, or hooded masks, or mysterious attire.
Suellen, wearing a deerstalker hat, blended in inconspicuously among the crowd.
There is no specific hall for the black market auction. It is a bit like the "market" of the vegetable market in the previous life. Everyone finds their own place and waits for the auction to start.
It was still early, so Su Lun walked around the narrow streets built with steel frames. He found that the original owner's "Missing Person Notice" was still hanging there on the notice board.
But today, in the most conspicuous position, there is a red missing person notice.
"You can get millions of liso for providing information?"
When Su Lun saw the long running bounty, he became interested and stopped to look at it for a moment.
The black and white photo shows a woman with delicate features and a very capable temperament. She looks like a working photo of a white-collar worker in an office. From the photo, it can be seen that she has a completely different temperament from the common people in the outer city, and she should be from the inner city.
"This is comparable to the reward amount for wanted criminals... What did the woman in this photo commit?"
Su Lun had doubts and didn't stay long.
Although a million-dollar reward is attractive, a high reward also means high risks.
A mannequin with a bounty on his head that is comparable to an S-class wanted criminal. He has no intention of becoming a bounty hunter, even if he actually meets the real owner.
Su Lun left the notice board, and at this moment, he happened to pass by two men in black trench coats.
Judging from the body shape, the two seem to be a boy and a girl.
As soon as Su Lun passed by, the man glanced sideways and muttered to his companions: "Hey... I think that guy just now looked a bit familiar to me. Although his face was covered, I'm sure he was looking at me.
I've been to him..."
The woman in the windbreaker said calmly: "Half of the black market is wanted criminals, or people with criminal records in the organization. It's normal for you to look familiar. But this is not our territory, so it's best not to get into trouble."
The man in the trench coat withdrew his gaze and did not think about it further: "Yeah!"
.......
At the same time, Su Lun, who pretended not to know anything, continued to walk forward, but his face became solemn, and he murmured in his heart: "Has anyone noticed..."
Just passing by those two people, he also felt an invisible pressure. That was the level of pressure that could only be felt when facing high-level professionals like cadres.
His current super mental power makes his perception very keen, and also allows him to perceive some subtle things: such as other people's sight.
He was very sure that when they passed each other just now, the man glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
"That guy must have some special recognition ability to recognize something, or maybe he's just curious..."
Su Lun didn't think that with his bald head and eyebrows, his current appearance was much similar to his original owner, but in this world with extraordinary abilities, if you want to identify people, you will definitely not rely solely on your eyes.
He was initially alert, but after a while, the feeling of being watched disappeared, and Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
From the looks of it, it was probably a casual glance.
He didn't wait any longer on the street. He looked at the "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" sign on the roadside and dived in.
