At the same time, Leo and Jason boarded the carriage again, but instead of returning directly to Leo’s apartment, they drove towards the garden cemetery at Leo’s command.
"Do you know what's going on?" Jason didn't care about the special situation, but focused on the dead man.
"You seem to pay special attention to this matter?" Leo looked at Jason and said with a smile.
"Alas!" Jason sighed, explaining with some frustration: "I didn't want to compete for the position of the person in charge of the large freight terminal, but Lisa said that since I am the chairman of the porter's union, the manager of a dock warehouse No longer suitable for my identity, I need a higher position, and the people under me also hope that I can have more power in the quayside, so I reported my name. At that time, I did not think about whether I could Success, I did not find Nelson to help block lobbyists, nor did I find those dignitaries who could control the decision," he said, he smiled at himself and continued: "However, the results will come out in two days, but I am Feeling a little nervous, maybe I still care about whether I can be elected successfully, so I worry about the negative news about me during this time."
"You don't have to worry about it, there will be no news." Leo said with certainty. The reason why he is so certain is that the special bureau of the Kingdom of England absolutely covers all things about extraordinary powers and does not let ordinary people. People know that just like the sacrifice that took place in the cemetery was not known to the public.
After so many years, Jason is naturally no longer as blunt as he was then, and his brain is much more flexible. He soon realized what Leo said in the words and confirmed: "Is it because of that special game?"
Leo nodded and said: "Yes, they should be the special department established by the kingdom, which is responsible for dealing with all kinds of things related to extraordinary powers inside the kingdom," said, he looked at Jason and said: "Use Soon, they should be in touch with you and may even invite you to join the special bureau."
"Contact me and join the special bureau?" Jason asked blankly. "Why find me?"
Leo reminded: "Do you remember what I told you about your blood?"
Jason was stunned. He soon remembered that Leo had mentioned that he had a giant bloodline in his body before, and that he had been stimulated. It was just that he didn’t care, nor thought it was true. More thought Leo is joking.
"What you said is true? I really have giant blood?" Even Jason is still a little unbelievable and confirmed.
Leo nodded and asked promptly: "Don't you find any abnormalities in your body in recent years? For example, you haven't been regenerated, and for example, your body will recover quickly even if you are injured."
Hearing Leo’s words, Jason quickly fell into memory and quickly remembered some strange things that had happened to him over the years.
As Leo mentioned, he did not regenerate his illness over the years, and he did recover quickly after his injury, but the biggest anomaly in his memory was not these subtle changes in the body, but a few things that made him Things I don't understand so far.
A few years ago, once he was blocked in a small alley by a group of dock gangsters, he was stunned by them, but finally when he woke up, he was in a remote dock warehouse. The clothes are ragged, all around the bodies of those gangsters, and the warehouse walls and ground are cracked.
The same thing happened a few times later. Every time when he was in danger of life and death, this kind of abnormal situation occurred. The last time he even kept a little fuzzy memory. There seems to be a giant killing him in the memory. Those who attacked him died.
Now after Leo's prompt, he felt that the giant in his memory might not be a mysterious protector, but himself.
Just when Jason fell into memory and was a little overwhelmed, Leo said again: "The agent of the special bureau just used some extraordinary powers on you, but your bloodline blocked his powers, and now he already knows You are different from ordinary people. According to their special bureau's work habits, they must first investigate you, then contact you, and invite you to join the special bureau."
Seeing that Leo seemed to know the special bureau very well, Jason asked, "Are you also joining that special bureau?"
"No." Leo shook his head. In his view, whether it is the Earth Federation or the current Velon world, the secret departments of any country do the same thing. He can easily speculate that those in the special bureau will prepare for the next step. How to do it.
"Do you think I should join?" Jason was puzzled for a moment, and asked again.
"I think you should join." Leo gave advice: "I don't know much about the blood of giants. I don't know what effect your body will continue to change, but the special situation is different. There should be a lot of relevant information there. , And even how to develop your body's blood, so you should join the special bureau by analyzing your own good and bad. In addition, the special bureau is the secret department of the Kingdom of England, starting from the situation just now, They have a lot of power in their hands. After you join, they will also be very helpful to your career at the terminal. And the only thing you lose is absolute freedom, and you need to obey some orders to do things if necessary."
"Well." Jason nodded silently, hesitating a little, and said: "I have to think about it, and I will talk about it later."
When he heard Jason's words, Leo also agreed, and he lamented that Jason has really changed a lot. If he used to, Jason would certainly not hesitate to follow Leo's suggestion, instead of having his own subjective consciousness like now. .
"Where are we going now?" Jason left the special bureau aside and turned his attention back to the present, asking doubtfully.
"Go to the black market," Leo replied.
"Black market?" Jason froze, saying, "If you go to the black market, you seem to be going in the wrong direction. The location of the black market should be the old factory area."
Leo explained: "It's not the black market you went to, it's another black market."
Jason was stunned for a while, and he quickly remembered a rumor he had heard that there were actually two black markets in Port Sait.
One is the black market in the old factory area that specializes in the sale of contraband and smuggled goods. This black market is also the black market he often goes to. As one of the managers of the dock warehouse, there will always be some smuggled goods and contraband on hand. It is better to sell to the establishment of chambers of commerce that are inextricably linked to the nobility. Although the price may not be the highest, it is much safer.
As for another black market, it is just an unreliable rumor that Jason heard. There is also a mysterious black market in Port Sait. This black market specializes in selling some mysterious items that most people in the world have not seen, but this black market. The specific location is erratic, there is no fixed location, the only thing that can be known is that this black market is in the cemetery.
Jason used to find this mysterious black market in the past because of curiosity, but in the end, he only fed mosquitoes for two days in the cemetery, so the black market in his heart is the same as various urban legends circulating on the city of Port Sait Unreliable.
But now from Leo, he knew that the mysterious black market really existed, and suddenly made him excited and curious, and he could not wait to ask questions about the black market.
For example, is it really ridiculous to hear that there are really pockets in the black market where people can get endless wealth?
Leo didn't answer, just thinking about the scene that looked like a sacrifice before, remembering the blood that covered the walls of the room.
Jason’s men claimed that the man suddenly said that his body and eyes could be healed one day before, and he was very certain about it. This shows that he must have seen an example of success, otherwise he will It is impossible for a firm, suspicious and vigilant blind person to easily borrow a large sum of money for such a ridiculous thing.
While in the house, Leo had checked the situation inside and outside the house through the Spirit Net. He found that apart from a small amount of change in the bedside table, the deceased had no other money and no other valuables. Obviously the deceased Already spent the money borrowed from colleagues.
If the money is spent according to normal channels, then the people in the special bureau will surely find some clues, but from the situation just now, the special bureau obviously does not have any useful clues, that is to say, the money Spend out through normal channels. The only way to heal the body and eyes of the deceased is by all kinds of extraordinary powers, and the black market is definitely a place that sells items containing extraordinary powers without attracting attention or being traced by anyone. .
In addition, Leo also found that the Special Bureau did not seem to be surprised by the tragedy that happened in that room. The first thing they thought after entering the door was to stop Jason from speaking out, so it seems that the same situation is not the first time the Special Bureau has experienced it. There must have been similar cases in the localities, and the special bureau did not find any useful clues. Only the black market can intercept the investigation of the special bureau.
Following Leo’s thinking, the carriage soon came to the garden cemetery. In order to show respect for the dead, except for the hearse accident that specifically escorted the coffin, no carriages or steam carts are allowed to drive in the cemetery, everyone can only Walking forward, even the grave sweepers.
The garden cemetery in the daytime is much brighter. Even in the jungle of the cemetery, there is a lot of sunlight passing through the leaves and spilling on the ground. Many civilians and middle class in Port Sait are not eligible to visit the garden that only the city’s dignitaries can visit. Area, so I chose to use the purpose of having a lot of vegetation as their garden for playing during the day. For this reason, the city government even opened some lawns in the garden cemetery that were not planted and were trimmed for civilians. Required.
As a result, under normal circumstances, there are many people in the cemetery during the day, and there are many hawkers. Because they cannot enter the car, most of the hawkers carry the things they want to sell on their backs, and then enter the cemetery to sell.
However, the time is now close to the evening, although the sky is still bright, but the sunset can be seen in the distance, and it will be dark soon. Many people who play in the garden cemetery during the day begin to go out one after another. It is for this reason that Leo and Jason, who walked inwards against the crowd and are tall and sturdy, are particularly eye-catching at this time. Almost everyone who walks past them can’t help but look at them. Pcs.
Leo, who didn't anticipate this situation, said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I chose the wrong time to enter the cemetery. I should have been in the carriage just now, waiting for the darkness, and everyone came in again before they came out."
Jason, who was also unaccustomed to the attention, did not say anything, but lowered his brim and collar to cover his face, but his figure was so memorable, and he often lived on the port porters. The district is infested, so many people know him, and some of the family members of the porters have also stepped forward to say hello to Jason, and also shouted a few times to support him as a person in charge of the freight terminal. Jason is so embarrassing.
However, this embarrassment soon passed. As they entered the depths of the cemetery, the number of people on the main street also decreased rapidly. At the back, only two of them were still walking on the street. Dim down.
Although the number of people playing in the cemetery has been reduced, some other people who keep spirits for relatives are still there. They are all staying in the tomb of their family or relatives, lighting the fish oil lamp newly invented by the Kingdom of England, waiting for the first The dawn of two days.
"I didn't expect the black market to be inside the cemetery." Jason burst into emotion on the road and wondered: "However, how did they hide the trail? I haven't known such a black market for so many years in Port Said? "
Jason's unintentional question~EbookFREE.me~ actually attracted Leo's attention. As Jason said, it has been incredible that this black market has not been discovered in Port Saite for so many years.
Although there are few people who know the black market, judging from the fact that they have entered the black market many times before, there are fewer than a hundred people in the entire city of Seth who also know where the black market is and how to enter the black market. These people will definitely not everyone To be tight-lipped, but people like Jason who already have a certain status still don’t know the black market, then this matter is a bit strange. There is no doubt that the official of the Inge Kingdom is hiding the black market news. Played a lot of role.
Thinking of this, Leo suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully: "Is there a black background in the black market?"
Leo's voice was not loud, but the surroundings were quiet, and Jason on the side naturally heard it. He just didn't understand what Leo said. He looked at Leo in a daze.
Leo thought for a moment, turned around, and said to Jason: "Wait on the black market, we will act separately."
"Okay." Jason nodded and asked no reason.
