As soon as he stepped in, he noticed that on the left and right sides of the door, stood two burly men with bare upper bodies and dark skin.
They held guns in their hands and a bunch of special bullets wrapped around their waists.
This model, developed by Double Star Company, is extremely lethal. It was banned by the Floating City a few years ago. I didn't expect it to appear openly here.
Xu Ye looked away from the big man and looked forward.
The underground black market is a bit dark, but it is bustling with people and covers a huge area. There are vendors, small shops, arenas, pawn shops, brothels... everything.
The smell was mixed with sweat, foot odor, putrefaction, armpit odor, various fishy smells and a trace of feces and urine, which made Xu Ye frown involuntarily.
It is said that this was a formerly abandoned sewer that was renovated, with nobles as shareholders, so many times, as long as no big trouble was caused, the higher-ups turned a blind eye.
Xu Ye lowered his head and caught a glimpse of some rotten meat, and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
boom!
Just when he took two steps, a figure flew out from in front of his eyes, and then rolled several times on the ground, his head bruised and bleeding.
It was a ragged young man, wearing beige labor clothes, blue trousers full of patches, and his eyes were full of fear.
He wailed a few times, looked at a shop owner with a sandalwood rosary hanging around his neck in the shop, and trembled all over.
Next to the shop owner, stood a man with his arms folded and a hideous scar on his left eye.
Seemingly noticing Xu Ye's gaze, he opened his eyelids.
There seemed to be something colliding in the air.
"What a high inspiration." Xu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the other party is an awakened person."
At this moment, the boss came out and raised his chin towards the young man.
The young man knelt on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and finally crawled to the scattered porcelain fragments in front of the shop with his knees. He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly picked it up and put it in his mouth, biting it with a crunching sound, and then painfully
Swallowed it.
His tongue, mouth, and esophagus were scratched. He pinched his neck with both hands, coughed violently, spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally beat his chest with his fist before swallowing.
With his head hanging down and his body hunched, he left silently under the gaze of everyone.
The crowd watching the excitement around him booed.
"This underground black market is the largest black market in the entire Floating City, including the other three cities, so many people want to come here to make a fortune, but this place is full of old people, especially those with shops, so don't
provoke."
"The young man looked like a rookie at first sight, but when he first arrived, he accidentally broke the vase placed at the door of the store. Of course, the vase was placed deliberately by the store for the purpose of touching porcelain."
"According to the unspoken rules here, if it breaks into pieces, you will either have to pay for it at the original price, who knows, the prices they charge are sky-high, or you will eat a piece of it, and they won't embarrass you in the future. Just take it as a lesson."
At this moment, a person beside Xu Ye sighed.
Xu Ye turned around and saw a rather fat man with a big gold chain hanging around his neck. His hair was shiny and shiny. He was dressed in silk robes and had a mouth full of gold teeth.
There are bright and dazzling rings on each finger.
The whole thing gives people a feeling of mud after rain.
To put it simply, it is soil.
"Who are you?" Xu Ye raised his eyes slightly and asked politely.
The fat middle-aged man narrowed his blue eyes and whispered: "Aldrich, the Silver Noble of the Floating City."
Xu Ye almost pulled out the black knife and killed the opponent with one blow.
The captain once said that there are a hundred bronze nobles and they cannot be hereditary, so if you offend them, you will be offended.
But the Silver Nobles are different.
Their title is Duke and can be hereditary. They control almost 80% of the industry in the entire floating city and the four subordinate cities.
"I know you, Xu Ye, it's an honor to meet you." Aldrich smiled inexplicably.
Xu Ye looked at him deeply: "Is murder illegal in the black market?"
Aldrich's face froze, and he closed the fan in his hand with a snap: "Hey, hey, you don't want to kill me, do you? I still want to make friends with you. About you, I'm wondering.
Rumors spread that the city was empty."
Stay alert all night.
I just casually visited the black market and met a silver noble.
This luck...
Aldrich took Xu Ye's arm and led him around affectionately: "Don't look at me like this. Do all nobles have to be superior? I inherited this noble seat from my father. My father,
The inheritance was from my grandfather, so I was puzzled. The money was too much to count anyway, so why not just lie down?"
"How do you say that? It's the people who are bad, not a group."
"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk."
Xu Ye gathered his thoughts and was pulled by Aldrich, passing through stalls and shops. He found that there were many controlled substances here, but the most common ones were human organs and cancer treatment drugs. The prices were so expensive that Xu Ye was dumbfounded.
.
"I remember that the technology to conquer cancer has been around for many years. Why are the medicines so expensive?" Xu Ye asked.
Aldrich withdrew his eyes from a young woman's buttocks and said nonchalantly: "Because we have to spread the R&D costs, do you know who has the most cancers?"
"Rich man."
Aldrich asked himself and answered, "In this world, the number of cancers is getting smaller and smaller, because poor people basically do not live to the age of getting cancer. Only rich people have these troubles. When the market is small, the unit price will naturally be high.
Already."
Xu Ye suddenly realized.
"We've arrived at my shop. Come in and sit down, Xiao Liu, and bring me a cup of tea. It's good tea."
Aldrich walked in with great swagger.
On the side, a young man wearing thin clothes but with a rosy face bent down respectfully, glanced at Xu Ye curiously with his peripheral vision, and went to prepare tea as if nothing had happened.
Aldrich sat down casually, grabbed the water bottle, and drank a few gulps, with a few beads of sweat streaming down his forehead.
After finishing the drink, he wiped his mouth with his wide sleeve robe and said with a bit of embarrassment, "I'm just kidding. I don't know what's going on. I've been very thirsty recently."
"I like some weird and weird things, so I also opened a shop in the black market. If you need anything, you can buy it from me, and of course you can sell it."
Xu Ye looked at the other party with a half-smile but said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Aldrich was startled, then shook his head and laughed: "As expected of Dr. Chen's experimental subject... Bah, bah, bah, I said the wrong thing, little brother Xu, don't take it off, I hate reading and etiquette, it's nothing
culture."
He signaled Xiao Liu to close the shop, then cleared his throat unnaturally, and then said with a slightly red face: "Brother Xu, I suspect that I am contaminated."
"Oh?" Xu Ye couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Your Majesty the Duke..."
"I'm only a dozen years older than you, so just call me Aldrich."
"Okay, Lord Duke." Xu Ye ignored them. He knew how terrifying the forces behind these silver nobles were. How could he push forward when others were just being polite?
"The floating city has a scarlet eye, so it cannot be contaminated. Even if it is unfortunately contaminated, I remember that the Silver Nobles are equipped with awakeners and will report it to the Blade of Dawn."
Aldrich sighed deeply, and the fat lines on his face became more intense.
"The Awakened Ones around me cannot make accurate judgments, and I want to hide this matter. It would be a bit embarrassing for the people of the Blade of Dawn to know about it. Once other nobles know about it, I will have no shame in hanging around."
"You are in a special situation. Firstly, you are Dr. Chen's experimental subject. Secondly, you have just joined the Blade of Dawn and have no contact with other nobles."
Xu Ye pursed his lips: "So, Lord Duke, why do you feel that you are contaminated?"
Aldrich mustered up the courage, his face was flushed, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with suppressed madness: "I have been experiencing a crazy instinctive behavior recently."
"What?" Xu Ye was stunned.
At this time, Aldrich couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and stared at Xu Ye a little strangely: "That's what you think, you know, the etiquette of our nobles requires us to avoid all indescribable words, that is,
Everything, women, men, even animals, or just a simple geometric pattern, will create unstoppable associations in my mind."
