Chapter 155: Borrow some loan sharks (4100) (Thanks to Lakeside Reservoir for the reward of 15,000 s
Donghae County, Anta City, the train station on the edge of the suburbs.
On a rectangular platform about twenty meters long, passengers in various attires and suitcases were quietly waiting for the train to arrive. Until a distant whistle sounded, everyone turned to look.
In the distance, the black and red steam train seemed to be breathing, spitting out clouds of white steam. It was cast with a layer of brilliance under the rising sun.
As the car approached, the ground began to shake slightly. White steam continued to pour out along the rails, suddenly surrounding the entire locomotive. There was a smell of soot in the steam.
Phew The square front of the car is approaching like a shooting star.
The car door opened, and passengers coming to Anta City from other cities came out in an endless stream. A black boot stepped on the dark gray platform, and the man with a cold temperament looked up at the sky. Then he squeezed into the crowd and headed towards the city.
After half a month, Ka Xiu returned here again.
He came from Donghai City to Anta City. During this period, Kaxiu went to Wenmingda University again and found Professor Tenasi who helped him decipher the ancient text information last time. It's still the same as before, with money in hand, anything can be done easily.
Ka Xiu also gave a small incentive in order to speed up.
Probably the shorter the time, the more money Professor Tenacy can get. Under the temptation of huge profits, Professor Tenasi will definitely be able to achieve the deciphering efficiency that Cardius is satisfied with.
And, according to Professor Tenacy himself. The parchment Cardius gave him and the map from a few months ago seemed to be antiquities from the same era or a similar era. It will be faster to decipher the parchment with the basis of deciphering the map information before.
After getting off the train station, Kaxiu returned to the house he bought in Anta City, which was one of his strongholds.
After taking a short rest and enjoying lunch.
Carrying a beige suitcase, Kaxiu came to a deserted narrow road on the outskirts of Anta City.
Next to the path is a messy pile of weeds and rubble. In the rubble pile is a straight and slender bronze pillar with mottled colors on the surface.
He took out the bell and began to shake it as usual.
The world was in a trance, and Kaxiu entered the rainy world of Black Rain Villa. The originally clear sky was replaced by dense dark clouds, and light rain continued to fall from the sky.
A black carriage drove over through the mud.
Card Xiu glanced at the coachman who was covered in a cloak, took a tentative step towards the carriage, and then got into the carriage.
The two strong black horses in front gradually opened their hooves, and the carriage began to move forward, the wheels turning.
A minute passed, and Ka Xiu in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief. Black Rain Villa did not target him this time, otherwise he would have had to take out the armored carriage he prepared last time.
An hour later, crossbows and arrows came to the station.
Ka Xiu stood in front of the door holding an umbrella, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the wooden door. Suddenly someone walked over quickly and opened the door.
"Hello...ah, it's Mr. Dusk."
The person who opened the door was a young man about twenty years old, with handsome features and blond curly hair. It was Yiri who had worked with Ka Xiu before, and Ka Xiu later introduced her to the Crossbow Stream.
"Mr. Dusk, come in quickly."
With a smile on his face, the young man stepped aside.
"Yes." Ka Xiu nodded slightly and walked in.
Take the key and open the door. The layout inside has not been touched, but there is no dust on the ground. It must be cleaned by someone. Cardiff made the bed, then took the things he needed and walked all the way across the street to the baptismal church.
This time, there were quite a few people in the church hall. They took a short rest and then entered the empty secret rooms.
Ka Xiu glanced around the hall, walked through the gorgeous caisson, passed a large black bench, and stood in front of the prayer table. On the table is a dark yellowed old scripture.
As if sensing someone approaching, the candlesticks on both sides of the prayer table were suddenly lit, emitting a strong white light. The strange Eye guy who was looking this way from a short distance could not see clearly at once.
But Ka Xiu, who was standing nearby, was not affected by this light.
The scripture book in front of him began to turn pages automatically. The yellowed paper slid all the way to the atonement task.
The font of the Atonement Mission turned fluid blood red.
Card Xiu had no expression on his face, and took out a repaired map from his arms, as well as a piece of gravel the size of an ear.
The two items were immediately placed on both sides of the pages of the scripture.
Beep...
The blood-red font began to deform and twist, and finally streaked across the paper like blood, climbing onto the map and gravel. Finally, wrap these two things thoroughly.
At the same time, it seemed as if a strong wind was blowing, and the pages of the scriptures began to turn crazily. The paper flipped back and forth with a splash, and the last few pages suddenly detached and burned suddenly in mid-air.
Flames billowed in the air, and finally fell black embers.
Ka Xiu felt a cold feeling on the back of his right hand, only to realize it when he raised it to look at it. The shield mark has returned to normal, and the spear piercing the shield has disappeared. He has successfully atoneed for his sins.
Blah blah blah...beep blah blah...blah blah blah...
On the prayer table, the pages of scriptures were being turned crazily. This situation makes people inexplicably feel that the villa is extremely unstable at the moment.
Ka Xiu's eyes were dull and he turned around decisively.
He didn't care what the villa did next after learning the address of the ruins, because the villa itself might not be safe in a while. Moreover, this is just a historical look back.
In the eyes of some people, Cassius walked out of the baptismal church.
His next move is naturally...to borrow money from usury.
Card Xiu estimated that if everything went well, people from the northern secret martial arts community would come soon, and he would have to let them see the effect of the secret power. He doesn't have any dark source of energy now, all of it was consumed before going to find the ruins.
It's too troublesome to accept the mission now, so it's better to "borrow" it.
After walking out of the baptismal church, Card Xiu did not return to the Crossbow Station, but went to the eastern area of Black Rain Villa first.
There is a very famous place here, the Iron Blood Bar.
The inside of the bar was still lively, with some people sipping drinks and others bragging loudly.
Ka Xiu randomly picked a remote table and ordered a glass of wine. His eyes swept across the bar, waiting for the news dealer to appear.
Only five or six minutes later, a thin, short, red-haired man walked in, and there seemed to be a customer next to him. The two of them chose a seat while chatting.
Not long after he sat down, Ka Xiu stood up and walked over.
The little man turned around and took a look, and realized it was Ka Xiu, and he understood immediately. The two of them walked towards the remote alleyway to the back door.
"Have there been any changes to the five borrowing channels you gave me last time?" Card Xiu glanced at the alleyway and asked slowly.
"There is indeed one." The little man recalled for a moment.
"The Arthropod Group, a branch of the Dark Flow, may have stopped doing business recently. They seem to be organizing a large-scale group mission and have no time to deal with loan services." The little man is a professional information dealer and can get well-informed first-hand information. .
"Aren't you going to do it?" Card Xiu was slightly disappointed.
"Yes, it is true that the Arthropod Group has stopped doing it. But..."
Ka Xiu handed over a stack of federal banknotes expressionlessly.
"Hehe." The little red-haired man smiled, with an inexplicably wretched expression: "I have another channel here, which is a branch of the Dark Flow, the Grimace Club. They have also recently started to provide lending services. This is the transaction address and business hours. ”
He handed over a piece of paper with writing on it.
Ka Xiu put his hand into his arms.
"By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you. The people in the Grimace Club are all seriously ill, and the sequelae of dark surgery are very serious. They sometimes become delirious, and their debt collection methods may be bloody and cruel. It is recommended to borrow from them. It’s time to think carefully…”
The little man reminded.
Card Xiu smiled: "They will thank you."
"ah?"
"nothing."
Ka Xiu patted the little man on the shoulder: "Please."
After saying that, he turned and left the alley.
"Why are those madmen from the Grimace Club thanking me for bringing them a new customer?" The little red-haired man shrugged indifferently and took a banknote from his shoulder.
He flicked it with his hand and whistled.
"Whatever, let's go drink..."
Half an hour later.
To the east of Black Rain Villa, the Black Wolf Club is stationed.
"How much can a single person borrow here?" Card Xiu was chatting with a middle-aged man with freckles on his face across from him.
"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows: "Is it urgent?"
"It's urgently needed." Card Xiu said randomly. Anyway, he couldn't return this dark source of matter, so he could just borrow it.
"Then... okay. Let's go to the back of the room and talk in detail."
The man stood up and led the way in front of Ka Xiu.
Ten minutes later, Death Eye stronghold.
A tall man in black walked in from outside the lobby. His first words were to give me a luxury loan package.
To the south of Black Rain Villa, there is Dark Flow and Ghostface's stronghold.
Ka Xiu looked at a piece of paper posted on the edge of the table, which contained detailed instructions on loan interest. Ten days, 20%; 20 days, 3rd floor; 30 days, 40%... There are also usury calculated in this way.
He is indeed a lunatic who often has problems with his brain, and his method of calculating interest is also lunatic. However, they borrowed quite a lot of dark essence, so they probably weren't afraid that others wouldn't return it...
After thinking for a moment, Ka Xiu raised his head.
"Give me the maximum amount I can borrow for a shield level..."
At dusk, he visited all five loan sharking channels. The dark source of energy in hand is unprecedentedly abundant, and the resources obtained by fighting alone are still not as many as those of a group.
With a bunch of mission credentials, he returned to the Crossbow Stream.
It is impossible for Ka Xiu to borrow so much dark source matter without using it. It is just a joke to experience the fun of harvesting wool. When the joint representatives of the northern secret martial arts world enter Black Rain Villa, these dark source materials will be useful. Ka Xiu's use of the power of the secret soul by himself still lacks some convincing, so he has to get a group of Eye monsters to also use the power of the secret soul to compare the effect.
July 8th, 107th year of the Hongli Federation calendar.
He left Black Rain Villa and headed to Donghai City.
Kaxiu and Mian made an agreement to meet at the famous Flower Fountain Square in Donghai City. So he rented a house opposite the Blossoming Fountain Square and near Li Lun Senior Apartment.
When I live here on weekdays, I have to pass through the square when I go out.
If Mian and the others come, Ka Xiu will be the first to see them. Moreover, it is not far from Wenmingda University.
He can occasionally check on the professor's work progress.
More than 500 meters away on the west side of Blossom Fountain Square, there is an iron fist martial arts gym, which is a medium-sized venue.
It was afternoon and the entire venue was booked.
In the field, a strong man with his upper body naked had his fists on his chest. The muscles all over his body were tangled, and his skin had a marble-like hardness, as if he was wearing armor.
The sun shines in through the window, and the surface of its body glows with a layer of rock-white light. Ka Xiu glanced around lightly.
"Use your best strength and don't hold back."
Next to them, seven or eight muscular men looked at each other. He immediately raised the stick in his hand and rushed over, hitting Ka Xiu with a violent storm of attacks.
"Okay, use a little more force! Work harder."
Kaxiu stood there as steady as a rock and allowed them to hit him. He even kept speaking to encourage a few people.
"You only have so much strength?! You are as soft as a girl! How can you deserve so many federal coins!"
The strong man in the Iron Fist Gym was so aroused that he immediately started beating harder, and the hot sweat instantly soaked his vest.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
The sound of hammering like raindrops continued to echo on the field.
Click!
A strong arm swung by and broke three wooden sticks that were hit. Ka Xiu patted his chest in dissatisfaction.
"It has no effect...Don't use flimsy wooden sticks, use steel pipes. If you are strong enough, you can use the hammer over there."
"It makes me feel good, and everyone gets a tip."
He folded his arms in front of his chest and watched as the strong men in the Iron Fist Gym threw away their sticks and went to get the steel pipes and hammers.
"Come!"
Ka Xiu's whole body was shaken, and the outline of his muscles bulged again.
The hammer bang bang, the steel pipe bang bang, the sound of hitting is continuous.
"Ah good, that's it! I feel it."
"This is the only way to be energetic and comfortable..."
At dusk, on the edge of the Iron Fist Gym.
A strong man from the martial arts school swung the steel pipe with all his strength for the last time. With a bang, the steel pipe was bent. The strong man took two steps back and looked back. The ground was full of bent steel pipes. There were also three or four senior brothers lying on the ground gasping for air.
The white vests they were wearing were completely soaked, and they looked like they had been fished out of the water. The strong man stretched out his trembling hands and wiped the sweat on his face and eyelids that was about to affect his vision. He turned and looked towards the center of the field.
The muscular man named Dusk remained expressionless, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, like a towering and majestic mountain.
Even the hammer and steel pipe swung with all its strength cannot damage it at all.
It is said that this person practiced hard qigong.
He had heard of hard qigong.
But, this is the first time I’ve seen something so hard!
The strong man took a step to the left, his legs suddenly softened, and he sat down. Ka Xiu was the only one standing on the entire field.
Card Xiu glanced at the upper right corner, his expression unchanged.
"Let's stop here for today. Let's inform the next group of people and tell them to be ready at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon..."
