Chapter 3799 Deep Black Market
When he saw that the Smokescreen Scholar’s first forward-looking ability was “Create Mist Spirit”, Angel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried that if the "Create Mist Spirit" did not appear randomly, he would have to let Com go over and bring some good luck when Laplace activated his ability.
But now it seems that Com is no longer necessary.
As Angel was feeling thankful and preparing to walk into the shopping mall next door, a cool night breeze blew towards him.
There was also a pungent smell in the wind.
Just like the contradictions of this modern city, prosperity and pollution coexist, acid rain and neon lights remain.
Angel sighed in his heart, shook his head and walked into the shopping mall.
Even though it was almost dawn, there was still a performance going on on the stage in the mall. Angel walked around the stage, turned three or five times, and soon arrived at the warehouse in the basement of the mall.
The passage to the underground block is deep inside the warehouse.
There was no one near the entrance of the passage, so Angel arrived at the underground block smoothly. He just needed to keep walking along the sewage channel to reach Town No. 61.
However, after taking a few steps, Ingres suddenly stopped.
The journey was actually quite smooth, but he didn't know why, he always felt like he had overlooked something...
Angel tapped his brow with his finger, and the nightmare energy instantly rushed into his brain.
The door of the memory palace seemed to be blown open by a hurricane, and the memory scenes inside flew up one after another, and under Ingres's gaze, they fell one by one.
From the moment Angel re-entered the dungeon, he contacted Gleipnir, arrived at the central city, met the bakery clerk, and went to Tina Entertainment...
When these memory images turned into still pictures and flashed through Ingres' mind one by one, he finally discovered what he had overlooked.
That's the "bakery" picture.
The night rain was still falling. On the bench in front of the bakery door, an old beggar in tattered clothes was lying on the bench. On the other side sat a young clerk who looked quite gentle and was holding a glass of hot milk.
Angel passed the clerk's face and looked at the old beggar.
"Zuniga..." Angel remembered what he had overlooked.
Zuniga came to the central area just to find this "outsider". Angel took advantage of his challenge and completed it.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zuniga will have woken up by now.
And after he wakes up, he will most likely continue heading towards Tina Entertainment.
After completing the "Hide and Seek in the Building" mission, Angel stayed at Tina Entertainment for a few more minutes. It is very likely that the time he came out was about the same as the journey from Zuniga.
Could it be that Zuniga has already discovered me?
Although Angel has decided to list Zuniga as the "NPC that issues hidden tasks", he is only preparing to take on the task instead of contacting him.
Thinking of this, Ingres immediately withdrew his thoughts and entered the God's perspective.
Want to see Zuniga's current situation.
Angel had already prepared for the worst, that Zuniga might have followed him to the mall, or even been in the warehouse above.
But when Ingres really went to observe, he found that there was no sign of Zuniga nearby.
Angel looked back toward the bakery and saw the clerk in the apron, but not Zuniga.
Radiating further out, even Angel could not see any trace of Zuniga in the entire central area.
Where has he gone?
Could it be that someone entered the underground block before him?
However, when Angel once again conducted a full-scale lock, he discovered that Zuniga was not in the underground block, but on... the Silver Wing Express train.
Judging by the express train he was riding, he seemed set to return to the West End.
Judging from Zuniga's movements, he probably didn't notice him. This made Angel feel relieved, but he also had doubts in his heart.
Why did Zuniga suddenly return? Did he stop looking for the alien?
Or does Zuniga have other things that force him to return to the West Side?
Angel observed Zuniga and found nothing unusual. Zuniga just sat quietly on the train, motionless.
He seemed to be mumbling something...
Ingres listened carefully and found that he was talking about a date: April 1st?
Does this date have a lot of significance for Zuniga? Angel was a little puzzled. He had no way to pry open Zuniga's mouth. He could only observe him silently for a while, and then put away his God's perspective.
Since Zuniga didn't discover him, his previous worries were unnecessary.
There was still some distance to Town No. 61. Angel looked at the long dark road ahead and set off again.
……
Town No. 61.
Although Angel had seen the style of Town No. 61 from a bird's eye view before, he still felt different when he really came here.
Town Sixty-First is anything but an underground neighborhood.
It's more like a town on the surface.
It even looks a bit like a mini modern city, whether it is the high-rise buildings, the floating trains between the buildings, and the astonishing number of holographic projections and neon street lights, they are all exactly the same as the surface.
There is just a slight restriction on the building height.
But without those buildings reaching into the clouds, it actually has a special sense of refinement.
Moreover, the smell of the air here is not as pungent as that on the surface, and it is even cleaner.
Rather than calling it an underground town, it was more like a resort for the surface residents of Modern City. This was because Angel saw many residents who were obviously dressed from the surface, strolling leisurely on the street.
You know, in other underground towns, because of the existence of mutants, surface residents will not go to the underground blocks unless necessary.
But here, it's completely different.
People can be seen everywhere on the surface, even more than Angle saw in the central area. Of course, it is also because of the acid rain.
But even without considering these, it is enough to illustrate the prosperity of the No. 61 Town.
It is indeed the town that all underground people long for.
The most eye-catching thing in the No. 61 Town is a curtain several tens of meters high in the northern urban area. This curtain looks like a huge circus ceiling, but its color is pure black.
On each side of the black curtain, there were projections of various stages. Even though he was several kilometers away, Ingres could see the images on the curtain.
This can almost be said to be a low-profile "sky projection".
Anyone who comes to Town No. 61 will inevitably be attracted by this black curtain... Apparently, this is also a common trick used by the fashion magician.
Use this method to attract people's attention, and...attract the attention of fashion monsters.
The area covered by the black curtain is the headquarters of the Dark Round Table. The black curtain is obviously the work of the Dark Round Table.
Angel took a look inside from a God's perspective. With just one glance, he saw at least four or five people sleeping near the curtain.
Moreover, there were people constantly leaning against the wall, seemingly sleepy.
If nothing unexpected happens, these people will be caught up in the mission challenge woven by the fashion monster.
This is what the giant black curtain creates...the opportunity.
Seeing this, Angel also admired the idea of the Dark Round Table. However, such a "genius" idea would probably become a task refresh point for challengers in the future.
Yes, in Angel's opinion, this is also a refresh point for daily tasks.
The daily task refresh point on the surface is in the Tina Entertainment Building, while the daily task refresh point underground is near the black curtain.
As long as you go to these two places, you will most likely get some random tasks.
If Angel wasn't going to the black market right now, he actually wanted to go inside the curtain to take on a few missions...
Since the black market is called a "black" market, it is naturally impossible for it to be visible to the public. Moreover, there are many shops involving fashion magicians in the black market, and it is impossible for ordinary people to easily access them.
Therefore, the black market is relatively hidden.
As far as Angel knew, the black market in Town No. 61 was deeper underground.
Yes, the 61st Town was already underground, and the black market was even lower than the 61st Town.
Its name, Deep Underground Black Market.
There are many entrances from the 61st Town to the deep underground black market, and almost all of them are controlled by major companies and guilds, but they also left a few entrances for individual players.
These entrances are apparently controlled by the major guilds, but you can enter by paying a small fee.
As for the fashion magician, he only needs to summon his own magic book to enter the black market without paying any fees.
As for Angel, he naturally followed a magician through the nightmare illusion and entered the entrance of the black market.
After walking up hundreds of steps in the dark tunnel, Angel finally saw the true appearance of the deep underground black market.
The Deep Underground Black Market is much smaller than the No. 61 Town, and compared to the prosperity of the No. 61 Town, the Deep Underground Black Market is very ordinary, even a bit like a survival area built on the wasteland.
All the buildings appear chaotic and disorderly.
Some are converted from abandoned containers and stacked together to form rickety "high-rise buildings"; others are built against the walls of ancient tunnels, with rooms pieced together with worn wooden boards and rusty iron plates, with faint light shining through the gaps.
The most eye-catching one is the building in the center.
To call it a building actually requires a question mark.
It’s more like a patchwork…community of houses.
From a distance, a large number of containers and wooden houses are pieced together, stretching for dozens of meters. Some high rooms are stacked together, looking extremely bloated, and the connecting parts are suspension bridges without guardrails.
If you just look at it from a distance, this community of houses with a very wasteland style has a kind of postmodern disordered construction art.
But if you really want to get in close contact, it would still be a little dangerous.
It looks very artistic from a distance, but it is a dangerous building when you look closely.
However, Angel noticed that almost everyone who entered the deep underground black market would head towards the towering tower-like housing complex in the center, including the magician he had followed before, who also headed towards the unique "tower" building.
Obviously, that is where the real core of the "black market" transactions is.
Although I want to try my best to avoid standing under a dangerous wall, it seems that it is unavoidable now.
Ingres also followed the crowd to this house "tower".
He observed and found that the houses here were not all shops for trading, but also mixed with residential houses. Moreover, a large number of tenants in the residential houses were fashion magicians.
For a moment, Angel didn't know where to seek a deal.
However, this kind of black market usually has special "local bosses", and you can get their guidance by just paying a little tip.
Soon, Angel found his target, a smoking woman with big wavy green hair. She was leaning on the iron plate of the container, looking around, searching for a "guest" among the crowd.
Angel silently came to the alley under the wooden bridge. When no one was paying attention, the nightmare aura around him dissipated, and then he walked out openly.
Ingres's appearance did not attract much attention from the people around him.
However, he had a very strong "newcomer" vibe, especially for those who had lived in the black market for a long time, they could tell at a glance that this was Angel's first time here.
Besides, he didn't look like someone who was short of money.
The green-haired woman narrowed her eyes and stared at Angel deeply for half a minute. She saw that he kept looking into the surrounding rooms with a hint of curiosity and confusion on his expression.
She curled the corners of her lips, twisted her fingertips, inserted the pipe in her hand into the belt around her waist, and then walked slowly towards Angel.
Angel naturally noticed her.
In other words, the reason why he acted like a "newcomer" was to attract her attention.
"Sir." A slightly sweet voice sounded behind him.
Angel was "startled" and when he turned around, he "discovered" a green-haired woman looking at him with smiling eyes.
"You are……"
The green-haired woman smiled and said, "Sir, is this your first time in the Deep Underground Black Market? If necessary, I can be your guide. Or if you want to buy or sell something, I also have channels to help you solve your problems."
Angel looked at her warily for a few times, and when he saw a small magic book floating behind her with the mark of the Wandering House on the cover, he put away his guarded eyes.
The green-haired woman obviously knew that approaching him directly might cause some unnecessary trouble, so she deliberately displayed the magic book and logo to show that she had a "public" identity.
After confirming that Angel had seen her magic book, she put it away and chuckled, "My name is Xiaolu, what's your name, sir?"
"Little Green?"
"It's just a code name. Unless someone is a celebrity who can be recognized at a glance, everyone who comes to the black market will assume a code name."
Angel thought for a moment and said, "You can call me Zuniga."
"Zuniga? Is that your real name?" Xiaolu was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Angel didn't answer, he immediately said, "I'm sorry for being so presumptuous."
Angel had been observing Xiaolu through his extrasensory perception, and only after making sure that the other party's emotions did not fluctuate too much did he withdrew his perception.
The reason why he used the name "Zuniga" was simply to test whether people in the fashion magic world knew this strange man.
After all, the first sentence in Zuniga's NPC information is "Fallen from the supreme position".
A person who once reached the highest position, even if not known to everyone, should at least be a celebrity in the fashion magic world, right?
But now it seems that Xiaolu has never heard of this name.
