Chapter 63 Black Market

The full moon hangs in the sky, and the noisy city has lost the flow of people during the day.

There were seven or eight homeless people lying on the surrounding streets. They were holding a few shabby coats and spreading them on the ground, curling up and lying on the ground.

Tissue paper, cans and other garbage were scattered on the ground around them.

This is the city with the worst security and chaos in the city. Most people choose to stay at home peacefully at night and reduce unnecessary outings.

Therefore, there are very few shops open with lights on in this street at night. After all, there are few people and the electricity bill is expensive. There is a small convenience store at the end of the street.

The boss was lying on a chair, holding a smart brain in his hand and watching the recently popular online dating show.

Squeak.

The glass door was pushed open.

The boss heard the voice, but didn't raise his head, his eyes were still staring at the screen. After all, just take what you want and pay here once you have it.

The footsteps of the visitor did not go to the shelves inside, but came to the counter.

The boss heard the sound and said , "What do you want, cigarettes or wine?"

"Do you have tea?" A deep male voice said.

The boss finally looked away and turned his attention to the customer.

He looked like a young man, wearing a hat, simple white short-sleeved clothes, a black peaked cap on his head, and a mask covering half of his face.

Not a regular customer.

The boss retracted his legs and said, "We don't have tea here. But there are a lot of tea drinks. If you want to drink, just go to the shelf and get it."

The boss pointed to the shelves behind him.

"No." The customer who came in denied, "I want tea, or freshly brewed tea."

The boss's expression changed and he looked indifferent.

"Are you sure?" The boss's voice was low, with a dangerous aura, and he looked up and down with sharp eyes like an eagle.

"Of course." The young man did not panic and stood there calmly, ignoring the boss's sudden change. It was natural for him to come to the convenience store to buy an ordinary cup of tea.

"There is no tea in convenience stores." The boss finally confirmed.

The young man became impatient and tapped the counter with his fingers, "Would you like to buy it?"

The boss finally looked at him, grabbed the key hanging on his waist, and took out a copper coin with a round square hole from the box under the cabinet. The upper surface of this copper coin was tied with a thin red thread.

"Here you go." The boss put the copper coins on the cabinet and handed it over.

Wei Chao was unfazed, took the copper coins, and prepared to go out.

Let the eyes from behind follow you.

After leaving the store and avoiding the boss's sight, Wei Chao curiously lowered his head to observe the copper coin and rubbed the surface of the coin with his fingers.

Well, it looked like a copper coin made from rare ore. He could feel the tiny magnetic energy fluctuations coming from the surface of the copper coin.

To ask why Wei Chao appeared here, we have to go back a few hours.

Wei Chao wanted to say goodbye but was dragged by Shujia to finish dinner. It took more than an hour when he found the time to explain to Shuyang his intention to leave.

By the time he and Shuyang finished chatting and hurried back to his room, Chu Yu had disappeared.

He turned on the light, and there was no one in the room. Wei Chao sighed .

There was nothing he could do, it was him who broke the appointment and failed to keep the time he had set.

This person can't wait for himself.

Wei Chao muttered to himself and walked towards the bed step by step .

The quilt where Chu Yu was lying was in a mess. Wei Chao couldn't see through it and was about to straighten the quilt. However, when he lifted the quilt, he found a palm-sized leaf left under the quilt.

Wei Chao picked it up curiously. There were blue writings condensed by supernatural powers on the broad leaves.

"It's too late, come on."

Just four words. Wei Chao pondered for a moment and thought about it. This sentence should mean that you are already late, so do it yourself.

Wherever he comes, it can only be Chu Yu’s home base.

Wei Chao turned over and looked at the leaf, but did not find that Chu Yu had left his address or clues.

Wouldn't this bastard leave some clues for himself?

Wei Chao was a little unhappy and raised the leaf in his hand. Anyway, he had already seen these four words, so there was no use keeping the leaf.

The leaves were spinning in the air. Halfway through, a blue flame began to emerge from the roots of the leaves. The entire leaf was swallowed up by the blue flames. Wei Chao stopped lying down on the bed and watched this inexplicable start. of burning.

After the flames completely engulfed the leaves, small blue characters unfolded in front of Wei Chao's eyes. They hover in the air, giving clues to the place.

After reading Wei Chao, the floating handwriting slowly faded away and turned into water vapor.

"What a gimmicky clue." Wei Chao touched the copper coins and vomited, Chu Yu's half-smiling, half-smiling expression appeared in front of his eyes.

He raised his legs and began to walk purposefully towards the group of homeless people lying on the ground.

Those homeless people lay together on the same street in a tacit understanding.

Several big men wrapped in shabby coats scattered slightly and fell asleep on the ground.

Wei Chao crossed the street and stood in front of them, watching them.

Even if a person as big as Wei Chao stood in front of them, they still didn't react.

Next to the face of the homeless man at the end is a dusty porcelain bowl, with a layer of black dirt on the bowl.

Wei Chao stood in front of them with his pockets in his pockets and threw the coins in.

Coins were swirling inside, and the ears of a few homeless people were inconspicuously twitching.

When the coins stopped spinning and lay at the bottom of the bowl, the homeless men opened their eyes.

The homeless man in the back woke up, got up, grabbed the copper coins inside and touched them with his hands, and asked with breath coming from his mouth, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Wei Chao glanced at the homeless people lying on the ground around him and said , "Find a place."

They were all obviously from the Lian family, so Wei Chao withdrew his gaze and waited for me to observe.

"Where." The tramp couldn't put it down while holding the copper coins, and even whistled, but his eyes were sharp as he stared at the coins.

"The city that never sleeps." Wei Chao said, thinking about the clues left by Chu Yu.

"Come on." The tramp stood up and walked out with the copper coins in his hand, "I'll take you there."

His tall body was slightly hunched, and he walked to the front to lead the way for Wei Chao . Wei Chao followed his steps and looked back.

After the tramp left here, the tramp on the side got up and slept until Wei Chao, with his face facing the white porcelain bowl.

Wei Chao withdrew his gaze. He followed the homeless man as he turned left and right in the alley, and finally entered a dead end.

There was a wall in front of them. The homeless man didn't listen to his footsteps. He walked to the wall and pressed his hands on some bricks.

Surprisingly, the wall turned into a passage.

The gateway to the city that never sleeps.
