The bald man's momentum was very strong, and every step he took closer, it seemed like an extra boulder pressing on Bai Chen's heart, making her uncontrollably recall those nightmares she was trying to forget.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she had encountered a natural enemy.
At this moment, there was an additional figure in front of her, wearing a black padded jacket and a slightly rickety figure.
This figure blocked the bald man from her sight, cutting off the source of fear.
Long Yuehong and the bald man looked at each other, their heartbeats racing like drums.
He kept hypnotizing himself, pretending to be Shang Jianyao, playing a game with others where whoever blinks first and looks away first loses.
The bald man said "heh" and looked Long Yuehong up and down a few times.
Then, he laughed:
"What? Do you want to be a hero to save beauty?"
When he spoke, he kept walking non-stop, still approaching the two of them, feeling extremely oppressive.
His two bodyguards also bypassed the dark red sofa and followed closely behind.
Long Yue was terrified, not knowing what would happen next, and already had the urge to draw his gun.
As long as you kill all three in front of you, the matter will be solved!
At this moment, in the inner area of the hall, a slightly old voice came:
"Eugene, don't make trouble here."
The bald villain Eugene slowly turned his body sideways and looked at the man who was speaking.
This is a man over fifty years old, wrapped in a thick and fluffy black down jacket, who seems to be a little unable to withstand the cold and humidity of winter.
He had a thin face, a little white at his sideburns, a gold watch on his left wrist, and a string of moist grapes on his right hand.
Eugene laughed:
"How can it be called trouble?
"I was just trying to get my lost property back."
The half-hundred old man who spoke emphasized in a deep voice:
"No matter what disputes there are, don't settle them with me, there is a place outside."
Eugene stared into the old man's eyes, his gaze gradually becoming more and more fierce.
The old man did not look away, calmly.
"Haha, okay, then I'll give you a face, Uncle Sun." Finally, Eugene retracted his gaze.
He immediately looked at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen behind him, and said with a smile:
"I hope I don't run into it outside."
Long Yuehong wanted to respond with a few harsh words, but because of her inexperience, she couldn't organize the language quickly, so she could only watch Eugene turn around, walk back to the dark red sofa step by step, and sit down.
At this time, Bai Chen touched Long Yuehong's back and said in a low voice:
"I'm fine."
Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief silently, turned his body sideways, and let Bai Chen walk towards the old man sitting on the single sofa.
"Uncle Sun." Bai Chen shouted.
Uncle Sun narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Bai Chen's face for a few seconds, and smiled apologetically:
"There are too many people coming and going here, and I don't remember who you are."
Anyway, people who enter the underground trading market will always call him Uncle Sun.
"It's okay." Bai Chen's gaze seemed to sweep over the row of bodyguards behind Uncle Sun casually.
Then, she took out the photos of Lin Feifei and Lei Yunsong, bent down and said:
"I took on a hunter mission and wanted to ask if any of them had been to this bar."
Uncle Sun took the photo, flipped through it, shook his head and smiled:
"Several familiar relic hunters have come to ask, but unfortunately, no one has been like me in several bars, teahouses, and nightclubs in the past few days.
"This answer is free because it has no value."
"Thank you." Bai Chen responded politely.
Uncle Sun smiled instead:
"Are you interested in getting some good goods?
"Recently, there have been a batch of new things, including jeeps with stronger off-road and bulletproof capabilities just produced in 'First City', a batch of heavy weapons including bazookas, marijuana and more exciting gadgets from 'Spirit Island'......"
As a wilderness wanderer who has been to the underground trading market of Wild Grass City many times, Bai Chen has heard of "Spirit Island", but he doesn't know much, he only knows that it is also called Bliss Island, located outside the Gold Coast, it is a force that is neither big nor small, there is no industry on the island, but it is especially suitable for growing plants such as hemp and poppies, and many people on the gray soil need to rely on this kind of thing to relieve psychological pressure and face a bleak life, especially those who often need to fight.
"Is there food?" Bai Chen was not in a hurry to change his target and ask.
Anyway, she was also replenishing supplies for the group.
"There is a batch of flour, but it has already been ordered." Uncle Sun shook his head.
Bai Chen thanked him again, walked to another person, and repeated the previous question.
After a round of fakes, she failed to obtain information related to Lin Feifei and Lei Yunsong, so she had to leave here with Long Yuehong.
During this process, Long Yuehong always felt that Eugene's eyes were always on the two of them, making him stab in the back.
After leaving the "Today" nightclub, Bai Chen returned to South Street in silence, Long Yuehong followed her, wanting to open her mouth to ask several times, but closed her mouth again.
In the indescribable silence, they circled half a circle, and after confirming that they were not being followed, they returned to the "Ah Fu Gun Shop" and went up to the second floor.
When they entered the room near the alley, Jiang Baimian asked while closing the door:
"How is it?"
"They all said they hadn't seen it." Bai Chen replied truthfully, "I observed their expressions and didn't find anything unusual about them."
She knew that if someone "took in" Lin Feifei, she would definitely not say that she had seen it, so she still had to judge from the other party's subtle reactions.
"Normal." Jiang Baimian said "Hmm", "I hope other relic hunters can give us some surprises."
When the two were talking, Long Yuehong looked at Bai Chen and didn't know if she should tell the team leader about Eugene.
While he hesitated, Bai Chen pulled the gray scarf around his neck and said in silence:
"I met an enemy in the underground trading market, you should be careful in the future."
"Enemy?" Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows.
Shang Jianyao also instantly became focused.
Bai Chen was silent again, and after a few seconds, he smiled inexplicably:
"One-sided enemy.
"Only I treat him as an enemy, and in his eyes, I am just a prey."
Jiang Baimian thoughtfully gave up the idea of taking this sentence, and asked instead:
"What's his name? Which faction is it?"
Bai Chen exhaled slowly and said:
"Eugene.
"He is the leader of a slave hunting team in the 'First City'."
Speaking of this, Bai Chen pursed his mouth and said:
"I was caught by him before......
"A slave who was ...... for a while"
Although there has been some speculation, Jiang Baimian and others still don't know what language to respond to for a while.
At this time, Bai Chen raised his right hand and took off the gray scarf wrapped around his neck.
After the scarf fell off in circles, her neck was exposed.
Perhaps because of the rare exposure to the sun, the skin tone here is obviously much whiter, and there is a blue-black tattoo on each side, which is a word and a number:
"Slave girl, 105."
Jiang Baimian's expression showed a little pity, but soon, she restrained her expression and pretended that it was no big deal and said:
"So that's how it is.
"When you get back to the company, just get something else to cover it.
"If you feel that others are not at ease, I can learn from it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao suddenly asked:
"What does Eugene look like?"
Because it was originally to let Shang Jianyao and the others pay attention to Eugene so as not to be implicated, Bai Chen did not hesitate and directly described:
"He looks like he is 1.7 meters tall, with a shaved head and a wolf symbol of 'First City' on it......
"His body has undergone certain mechanical modifications, and it is said that the core is transplanted with an artificial heart, which gives him explosive power and some powerful means beyond humans. In this regard, he knows how to keep secrets, and almost no one knows what it is......
"He is very afraid of heat, even in this weather, he is still wearing shorts, which may be related to mechanical modification......"
Jiang Baimian muttered to himself as if he was thinking:
"I found a cheap workshop, is there a problem with the heat dissipation of the mechanical part?"
Shang Jianyao asked:
"Where does he live? How many people are in the team?"
Bai Chen's complicated mood was diluted a lot by this series of questions, she glanced at Shang Jianyao suspiciously and said:
"I just met him.
"But he will always have a lot of bodyguards by his side."
Shang Jianyao didn't ask any more questions, fell into deep thought, Jiang Baimian glanced at him, and suddenly smiled at Bai Chen:
"It's okay, we've been doing separate activities recently, he shouldn't know that we are companions, but you, you have to be careful when you go out these days.
"Hmm...... Since no one knows about the underground trading market, then Shang Jianyao and I will go to various bars and nightclubs to see if there are any other clues, and by the way, we will also satisfy his desire to dance."
Bai Chen nodded first, and then said in a slightly hesitant voice, not too loudly:
"Eugene will also be in the city, kidnapping, kidnapping good-looking young women, as well as men, and selling them to some nobles in the 'First City', to the overseers in the mines......"
As she spoke, she stopped.
After listening carefully, Jiang Baimian touched his metal cochlear ear and said:
"It's okay, we are the people of 'Pangu Creatures'!"
She said this murderously.
After saying that, she didn't delay any longer, led Shang Jianyao, left the room, and went downstairs into the yard.
After watching their backs disappear at the door, Bai Chen sat down abruptly and sat on the lower bunk of the high and low beds, as if he had lost all his strength.
She groped her right hand on the bed, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, the gray scarf appeared in front of her eyes.
Long Yuehong picked it up from the ground.
…………
In the yard behind the "Ah Fu Gun Shop", Jiang Baimian walked towards the exit, looked at Shang Jianyao sideways, and said with a smile:
"If I don't take you, what excuse are you going to find?"
"Go to the toilet." Shang Jianyao said as if he had an answer.
"Can you go to the toilet for that long?" Jiang Baimian is angry and funny.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"Constipation."
"......" Jiang Baimian subconsciously raised his hand and pressed it against his nose and mouth.
After two seconds, she looked to the side and coughed:
"By the way, what did Xiaobai say in the end? I only heard a little, so I'm embarrassed to ask."
Shang saw that Yao did not mock and repeated it seriously.
Jiang Baimian's eyes narrowed slightly.
When Shang Jianyao finished speaking, she said "hmm", and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly:
"Next, you can do whatever you want.
"I only have two requests."
