In the morning, the sky was a little hazy, which might be a sign of rain. Wang Xu was walking alone on the street, looking worried. He turned off his mobile phone and hid his spiritual consciousness, obviously not wanting anyone to find him.
After passing a few streets, he came to a deserted alley and opened the sewer entrance...
Shopkeeper Qian’s words a few days ago have been lingering in Wang Xu’s mind. Although he didn’t show anything in front of Elbert at that time, he had already made up his mind to meet the boss of the black area of the scare box—
—Mr. You.
He came to the room with four elevators again. Today, there was no one (ghosts, monsters, everything) here.
Wang Xu pressed the button of the black elevator, and after a while, the door opened. A bandaged man in uniform stood there. He was very tall, two heads taller than Wang Xu, and his voice gave people a decadent sound.
It feels as if the throat has not been touched by water for three to five months.
"You want to see Mr. You?" it asked.
Wang Xu looked up at it and replied: "Yes."
"Do you know the rules?"
"Know."
"Then...come in." It didn't ask any more questions.
Wang Xu walked into the elevator. There was only one button in the black elevator, but it was not a flipper-shaped button, but a very ordinary square button. The bandaged man stretched out his long and narrow fingers and pressed it. Almost at the same time, a kind of fall
The feeling is coming.
Although his feet were still firmly on the ground and he was standing properly, Wang Xu felt like he was bungee jumping, as if he was being pulled down the abyss by some force. The instinct of his body made him shrink his neck and tighten it.
The muscles of both legs.
This unsettling falling feeling lasted for a long time, and finally disappeared suddenly. Everything just seemed like an illusion.
The door opened. Wang Xu took a deep breath of air outside the elevator, and his chest felt a little more comfortable. The bandage man said: "Please."
Wang Xu walked out. Before he could look back, the elevator door was closed tightly again.
In front of you is a huge space with no edge. It is surrounded by darkness, but there is light under the floor. The floor is like a chess board, intertwined with black and white floor tiles.
The sound of leather shoes hitting the ground came from the empty darkness, and soon, a slightly fat man appeared in front of Wang Xu. He had his hair slicked back, wearing a pince-nez, a crisp tuxedo, and leather shoes.
The surface is as bright as a mirror.
He spoke in a very friendly voice, "Mr. Wang Xu, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." He didn't wait for Wang Xu to speak, and said directly: "I am the person in charge of this scare box. They all call me Mr. You. You
You can also call me this, please come with me." The fat man turned around and left, and Wang Xu had no choice but to follow.
After walking forward for quite some distance, he still didn't see anything resembling a wall, not even a ceiling. Just when Wang Xu suspected that this place was an infinitely vast space like a spiritual time room, several pieces of furniture suddenly appeared.
on the horizon.
A couch, a coffee table, a small cabinet, and a color TV on top.
The chubby Mr. You jumped on the sofa and said, "Please sit down."
Wang Xu sat not far from him.
"Please have tea."
There was indeed a teapot and teacups on the coffee table. Wang Xu thanked him and poured himself a cup of black tea, which was still hot.
Mr. You picked up the remote control and turned on the TV: "What program do you like to watch?"
Wang Xu couldn't help but look at the cable TV cable behind the small color TV. He was really curious at this moment, how long this cable was... and where it was connected to...
"Well... I'm free to..."
"Okay." Mr. You locked the channel to a satellite TV channel of a certain local station, which was showing a 30-minute advertisement about XX's fake mobile phone, which was sold for a certain amount of money.
"I like this kind of program very much. It's like filming a reality show. Their eloquent but extremely exciting performances are a true portrayal of the gradual degradation of human beings in this century. They are far more representative of human nature than the boring and fake news in the media, aren't they?
?”
Wang Xu shrugged, he never looked at this.
Mr. You continued: "For the sake of profit, they can commit fraud unscrupulously in the public media. Also for the sake of profit, these media provide them with a platform for fraud. What they sell is far less valuable than what they brag about. This is what most people
I understand, but people in the interest chain will not say it. And they try their best to make this behavior appear legal. What a ridiculous and sad farce this is, just like those who sold fake gold on the street hundreds of years ago.
It's like the guy with the watch and aphrodisiacs is on TV every day."
Wang Xu said: "Is it ridiculous? I just feel sad. Besides, aren't you also a businessman?"
"Of course there is a big difference. They are swindlers, and I am a businessman, a very ethical businessman who puts money into profit. If someone wants to buy my goods for money that far exceeds the value of the goods,
I will remind him. But they won't. That's the biggest difference.
Human nature is ugly, Wang Xu. People all want to make huge profits and take advantage of as much as possible. In this era, the only remaining honest people are called fools by most people. Haha... Who is the fool? Who thinks they are smart?
The account calculated by these guys is actually just a ticket to hell."
Wang Xu replied: "Even if you say this, I am still very uneasy about the 'business' you are doing..."
Mr. You smiled: "But you will still do it without hesitation, won't you?"
"certainly."
"Then... tell me what you want, wealth, prestige, power. As long as you can give me equal exchange, I can give you all of these."
"Haha..." Wang Xu also laughed: "I don't want any of these."
"Oh? A very smart choice... These are indeed not of high value, so what do you want is immortality? Or a handsome face that can charm women?"
"All I want is a person's whereabouts."
Mr. You's face suddenly darkened: "The person you want to inquire about... is one of the three giants in the Yin and Yang world. I don't think you have the potential value to exchange this information."
"Hmph... It seems that you have guessed who I am looking for... So, what if I insist on asking you to take over this business?" Wang Xu was aggressive this time.
Mr. You turned off the TV and stared into Wang Xu's eyes: "I also don't think you have the ability to force me to do something."
Wang Xu sneered and put down the teacup: "Then there's no point in talking about it?"
The smile returned to Mr. You's face again: "Wang Xu, are you trying to use force to force me to submit?"
"If you have other plans, you might as well put them forward." He said it bluntly.
Mr. You said: "I am different from any ghost, monster, human, or demon you have ever seen. I am a very high-ranking being. Even the regent can't interfere with me. You have no chance of winning against me."
, do you understand?"
"Ha! Are you bluffing?"
"No, I said that I am a very ethical businessman. I am just trying to persuade you to step back from the brink before you are about to make a business that is guaranteed to lose money but not make any money."
"Since you see everything so clearly and calmly, you should also understand... there are some things in this world that you have to do even if it costs your life!" Wang Xu stood up and looked into Mr. You's eyes.
Mr. You still looked very calm. He waved his fingers slightly, and suddenly there was a dazzling white light in the sky. Wang Xu looked up and saw a huge crack appearing above their heads, and the light shone from this crack.
of.
Then, a breathtaking scene appeared. A huge human face flashed out from the gap, blocking some light. This face was as big as a football field, and his appearance was actually an enlarged version of
Mr. You!
He easily lifted the "roof" of the space where Wang Xu was, and two dragon-like arms stretched out from the air, grabbing the miniature version of "Mr. You" with one hand.
Wang Xu's eyes widened as he watched Mr. You, who was drinking tea, chatting and watching TV with him, being turned away by a big hand. There was actually a clockwork behind his back! The person who was following him just now clearly didn't see this thing.
The big face smiled and said: "Wang Xu, you are a very interesting person, please come out and talk to me." He put the toy that looked exactly like him aside, stretched out his other hand, and said to Wang Xu
Keep your face flat.
Wang Xu looked at the fat hand in front of him and felt strongly that this situation was a replica of the time when Tathagata invited his grandson Monkey to his Five Fingers Mountain...
