Chapter 168 168 Transaction 4
"They also want the silver ones, but they also want the ones I brought with me. Thinking about it, these guys are really a bit perverted." Iselin frowned.
"What about gems and diamonds?" Li Chengyi continued to ask.
"I don't know. I don't have those things either. My blond hair is also made of gold jewelry given to me by my last sister." Iselin replied.
Li Chengyi planned to go out this time and bring in various things to try to see what the hard currency of the Black Sea was.
He still wanted to ask a question, but he saw Iselin stretched out her finger and made a hissing sound to her lips.
I immediately knew it was coming.
He turned to look ahead.
On the other side of the bed, a dim light slowly lit up from the darkness.
But the glimmer was not the bright yellow or white light illuminated by the lights.
But a faint red light.
Some hazy, some quiet red.
Looking out from the bottom of the bed, you can see a large black bookshelf that takes up an entire wall. Slowly emerged.
There are many books placed vertically on the bookshelf.
Some are thick and have a hard outer skin, and the covers also have weird and twisted unknown characters written on them.
Some are very thin and can be inserted randomly into the gaps between bookshelves and placed on top of thick books.
On the left side of the bookshelf, there is a small round table. It is made of black wood and has cloud patterns on the legs.
On the right side, there is a black and brown leather sofa, a single sofa.
The armrests of the sofa showed signs of wear and tear over the years, and were somewhat faded, revealing the gray underneath.
Everything looks normal.
This is like a study room used by ordinary people, with a bed for sleeping.
This is normal. Some people like to sleep in the study room.
Li Chengyi and Yisselin looked at each other.
"Have you been here?" he asked.
"No, this is the first time." Iselin replied.
"Want to go out and try?" Li Chengyi asked again.
"Wait a minute, the length of stay in different places is different. If you change right after leaving, you may be completely lost and unable to come back." Iselin whispered.
"How do you know?"
"I've been hit," Iseline replied. "After I got out, I returned to the bottom of the bed. The starting point was different. I lay there for a long time before I came back through the connection with my body." "
Okay." Li Chengyi once again felt that Israelin was really helpful.
Without her, I would probably have to step into a lot of pitfalls.
The two of them just lay there waiting.
About five minutes later.
Crash, the sound of the sliding door came.
Then a smooth noise, like a mop being dragged on the ground, entered their ears.
Soon, a tall human figure wearing a black robe with golden patterns printed on the edge slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.
It wasn't until they sat down that the two of them saw clearly that the man in black robe was wearing a pale mask, and his lower body was covered with black tentacles, like dark tentacles like an octopus's tentacles.
"It's a believer!" Yiselin let out a long sigh of relief.
"Quick, take out your things and I'll help you change them!" She quickly patted Li Chengyi.
Li Chengyi immediately took out the greedy heart and handed it to her.
Watching Iselin carefully place the Greedy Heart can on the ground and push it out.
Only then did he remember what a believer was.
Last time Iselin mentioned that the believers believe in a group of strange beings in Asladuni.
Iselin said they were friendly and could be exchanged.
He wanted to see what he could get in exchange.
The can of Greedy Heart was pushed out and stopped on the thick black and red carpet of the room.
The believer also noticed the movement here. He looked here with his masked face and stood up.
With a hissing sound, it slowly walked to the bed and bent down to pick up the can on the carpet.
After looking at the can for a while, it seemed interested.
Turn around and return to the sofa.
After thinking for a while, the believer reached out and took down a book from the bookshelf.
The book is neither thick nor thin, and its outer cover is brown-black with a bit of red, like tree bark.
Then he took the book, returned to the bed, placed it on the floor, and pushed it under the bed.
"Hurry and catch it, this is what you need to change!" Iselin patted Li Chengyi.
The latter nodded, stretched out his hand, pinched it gently with five fingers wearing flower-scaled gloves, and took it in.
"Going back." Iselin pulled him and slowly exited from under the bed.
Li Chengyi also stepped back, quickly took the book and got out from under the bed.
"What's the use of this thing?" He picked up the book and looked through the outer packaging.
The cover of the book is two patterned strips painted vertically.
The pattern belt is composed of many smaller water droplets, balls, and figure-8 patterns, which are fused and squeezed together.
In the middle of the two patterned strips, a white symbol the size of an egg is drawn.
This symbol is like a sharp bone knife, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a hole in the middle and a handle, like some kind of ritual tool.
"Open it and take a look?"
Iselin was also curious on the side.
Li Chengyi nodded and opened the cover.
Unexpectedly, the book was full of neatly weird words, with nothing abnormal at all.
It seems like this is really just a book.
"How is it?" Iselin asked curiously.
Li Chengyi was about to answer, but suddenly felt that the light around him was distorted.
He felt awe-inspiring, knowing that he might have to quit.
There had been no movement under the bed before, but now it seems that there may be no way to exit the flash completely while under the bed.
After all, it had been some time since he came in.
"Brother? Brother?" Iselin's voice seemed to be lengthened and slowed down, coming from a very far away place.
Li Chengyi grabbed the book and felt dizzy in his mind.
puff.
His eyes blurred, and Iselin disappeared.
The room instantly returned to its original state.
The traces on the wall made by the iron bed also disappeared automatically. He returned to reality.
The blind spot of the Holding Hand has a very wonderful feature: when it enters, the scene is the same as reality.
As the main body of the Gripping Hand, Iselin probably controls part of the blind spot area.
The other part is the other existence at the other end of the bed.
So far, Li Chengyi still doesn't know how to completely withdraw from the clutching hand, because with Yiselin's presence, this blind spot is more help than trouble for him. He doesn't want to quit either.
Standing in the bedroom, he raised his hand and glanced at his right hand.
The book was still held by him, between Hua Linyi's sharp claws.
With a thought, Li Chengyi's flower-scaled clothes decomposed and disintegrated in an instant, turning into countless knotted purple petals and disappearing.
He took the book and walked to the only window in the bedroom to look at the book in the light outside.
Take a photo with your phone first.
The lens was completely blank. Obviously, like the products in the Silent Shop, this thing could not be used except by myself.
As a transaction item given by believers, Li Chengyi did not believe that this was an ordinary book.
He thought for a while, turned around and walked out of the room, thumping downstairs, and came to the lobby on the first floor.
"Who has a pen and paper? Could you please lend it to me?"
Among the people present, Xiao Brown, who was serving the dishes, raised his hand.
"I have it, boss, I'll get it for you."
He put a bowl of dark vegetables on the dining table, turned around and ran out of the hall to his room.
Not long after, he came in with a notebook and a gel pen.
"Boss, have you discovered anything?"
He handed the things to Li Chengyi, with a hint of curiosity on his face.
"I just suddenly wanted to remember something." Li Chengyi didn't want to tell anyone what Yiselin could help him with.
There is a blind spot where communication is possible. Once word spreads about this, it is likely to attract many people with ulterior motives.
It is better to do less than to do more, so it is difficult to speak out the book in his hand.
After all, it was Yiselin who led him to trade this book.
Taking a pen and paper, he quickly returned to the room, sat down at the only table, and began to copy the symbols on the mysterious book.
A completely new language with no clues, and he couldn't learn it on his own.
But relying on computers and AI, there may be hope for analysis.
As for the origin of the words in this book, there are no clues at all.
Believers believe in the giant beast Asladuni.
So if you look for this clue, you may be able to find some key points.

Yunshan County.
In the mountain forest, a group of men and women wearing camouflage uniforms, equipped with fully armed field equipment, slowly drove along the forest path towards the wolf cave.
The person leading the team, walking at the front, was a somewhat bald and fat middle-aged man.
The weather was slightly cold and it was already December, but he was still sweating slightly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and temples with a tissue as he walked.
His name is Zhao Shengpeng, and his name is very powerful, better than Dapeng.
This shows what his parents expected of him.
But in fact, he is thirty-nine years old and has worked hard for more than ten years before finally taking the position of Yunshan County Security Director.
Because the terrain is remote, there are not many people around this place, and there were a series of murder cases a while ago, which put a lot of pressure on him from above.
In Yi State, the Security Agency and Jiuyi are not under the same department.
But two separate systems.
If the Federation is the highest administrative body, it determines the promotion and appointment of other officials.
Then Jiuyi is a powerful omnic organization in China that is equivalent to half-recruitment.
The Security Agency is a completely national organization.
Jiuyili has gathered a group of the strongest intelligent weapon masters in the entire Yi Kingdom. Most of them are trained by the state, and a small number are top masters recruited from various places.
So the ingredients are more complex.
The Security Bureau is far inferior in terms of force and has functions similar to those of the police. There are also omnics working part-time in high-level positions, but not many.
And there is another point. The director of the General Security Administration is also one of the most powerful omnics in a high position within Jiuyi.
"Director, we have been to this place so many times and found nothing. Just running around again and again is not an option." There were six people in the
team, and one of them, a slightly fat middle-aged man, complained.
"I can't help it. Several people have disappeared here recently. The satellite positioning can't be found. It's weird. The previous disappearance cases in Wolf Cave have been closed, and there is also an archive room on it. Only now How long has it been before it comes again?"
Zhao Shengpeng was also helpless.
"But there's no way we can run around like headless chickens." Another person in the team sighed.
"Speaking of which, a few days ago, a dozen people from the county's No. 2 Labor Prison suddenly disappeared. When they were counted, they were found to have disappeared during labor reform at a farm nearby." A third person said.
"Someone must be causing trouble!" Zhao Shengpeng gritted his teeth. "I don't believe this evil!" He tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.
"Are you afraid? If you are afraid, just go back!"
"Director, what you said is meaningless. We are the Security Department! Yunshan County relies on us to block it, blocking the front line. If we all Afraid, is there still hope for this place?" the slightly fat middle-aged man said unhappily.
"To be honest, no one who can stand here is a coward! All the cowards are in the department!" "
Well said!"
The others applauded.
"Here you go!" Zhao Shengpeng gave him a thumbs up.
"We were born and raised in this place. We all know everyone in the neighborhood, including uncles, aunts, grandparents. If we count carefully, which family has not been friends with us for decades? Now that we have this skin, we usually cheat and play around. I can understand any benefit. But you have to be able to stand up at critical times!"
Zhao Shengpeng sighed.
"That's right! The director said it well! Chicken blood is a good fight!" A group of people shouted again.
"Let's go around the wolf cave first, maybe"
Poof!
Zhao Shengpeng's expression froze and he suddenly stood there blankly.
He slowly lowered his head and saw that in the middle of his chest, at some point, there was a sharp black claw.
The sharp claws pierced through the body armor from his back, penetrated his sternum, and stabbed out from the front, bringing with it a large amount of blood.
The others were stunned.
No one reacted at all.
Even the various detection equipment they carried showed no response.
"Director!!"
Bang bang bang bang! !
Suddenly there were bursts of roars and gunshots in the mountains and forests.
But soon, in less than five seconds, they all disappeared and went out.
Everything returned to its previous quiet state.
