The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1303 Participant Tavern

Ah!
That person is! ? ?

The moment he noticed that figure in his vision, Fangran's eyes flashed with surprise.

"and many more."

"What else?"

And the opening stopped Annabella from hanging up. Listening to her impatient opening, Celica took out the photo and pointed directly:

"In your direction at seven o'clock, Michael, the maker of the micro-device we found, is on your side."

Hearing this, Annabella frowned slightly, took off the pair of sunglasses, looked at the reflection in the mirror without any trace,

Find the figure that overlaps with the photo from the group of participants behind you.

"Let's keep an eye on him for now, and we'll talk about the rest when we get there."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell me."

The proud and beautiful woman snorted and hung up the communication. In the black market, Celica put away the contact device and looked at Fangran:

"let's go."

Then, following her faster pace this time, Fangran walked out of the block from another direction this time, before stepping into the elevator again, he subconsciously turned his head and opened his black eyes,

From the "night sky" above, I took a last look at this short but impressive underground street,

Faintly felt that the existence of seeing this scene should have some meaning for me,
It's just that he still can't figure it out.

Going back to the ground, coming out of a deserted building that is more remote, the change in space makes people doubt that there is really that block underground,
Then at this moment, Fangran suddenly heard Yi Er's voice from the earphones, which seemed to remind him that the black market really existed.

"The blank account received a fund transfer of 10 US dollars. Remarks: The first small transaction is exempt from handling fees."

Hearing this inexplicable report, Fangran was stunned for a moment,
Then a thought popped into his head instantly.

Fuck, this is sold, is the black market channel so efficient! ?
Immediately after the second thought,
Damn, someone really bought such a stupid thing! ?

These two thoughts swirled in his mind. When Fangran was shocked that he seemed to have found another way to get rich,
"What are you doing there in a daze, why don't you go quickly?"

Celika turned around and glanced at him. Hearing this, he immediately reacted. Fangran looked at the dark night around him. A cold wind blowing through the dark night could only sweep away the garbage.
Remembering that this place is at least 20 kilometers away from the city center, I tried to ask with a little shame
"How do we go?"

(≡Д≡;) Could it be a parkour run all the way?
Houston, in the heart of downtown,

"Thank you! Uncle George! Very much three grams of oil!"

Getting off a very old pickup truck, Fangran used his very plastic loose English to thank a somewhat thin foreign uncle in the car.

Leaving the black market, looking at the outrageous exit location, in foreign countries where public transportation is very underdeveloped and no car is equivalent to no legs,
Just when Fangran thought he would have to parkour at least a few kilometers to get a car, he felt the typical enthusiasm of the people of Texas.

Looking at the middle-aged uncle named 'George' in the driver's seat, with a kind face, he smiled at himself and drove away.
For a moment, his smile seemed to have a sense of déjà vu.
But the excitement of seeing the black market tonight, did not pay attention to the expression of a passerby, Fangran took two quick steps to follow Celica's footsteps,
Take off your sunglasses a little lower and be amazed by the bustling night scene in downtown Houston.

"How do we go now, is the tavern in the city?"

Not caring about the driver who drove away in a hurry, Celica glanced at the road signs and other information, turned and walked in one direction.

"This way."

Walking in the urban area of ​​the fourth largest city in the United States, the wealth of the city is revealed in the brilliant lights, passing by buildings dotted with golden lights,
Walking on the street at night, in the eyes of many men who are amazed by Celika along the way,

Fangran followed her to a place that was not the most central but not remote.

Then Fangran looked up at the building in front of him. It was a magnificent European-style building with a lot of luxury cars parked in the courtyard surrounded by iron gates.
Different from the hidden and mysterious black market hidden at the entrance of the suburbs, armed with arrogant money, the tavern is another kind of routine that is inaccessible to the general public.
It's just that this style of painting is really not a club compared to a 'tavern'.
Fangran had this idea very strongly.

Follow Celika and walk inside, obviously neither he nor Celika are dressed like someone who can come to this class of place,
But no one stopped them, all the way through the front yard to the entrance gate.

No, the glass door of the tavern opens automatically. There are no guards, waiters, security guards, and reception desks.

Passing through the bright and luxurious unoccupied vestibule, the door to the inner room opened automatically after the two approached.

Then, the moment the door opens, the scene inside unfolds in front of your eyes,

The overall light is dim, but not to the level of a nightclub, there are no dazzling light effects, and the music played is not deafening but melodious and soothing.
The bar counter, wine cabinet, box, karaoke table, sofa seats and central dance floor are all equipped and exquisite.

It's just that it is mixed with artificial intelligence, robots, holographic projections, sound insulation devices... and other things that are out of specification,

Such a casual bar for rich people that seems to have been modified by sci-fi elements.

However, all the people who come here are all participants.

"Is this the tavern?"

The humanoid mechanical bartender behind the bar, the holographic projection of the beauties acting as the atmosphere on the karaoke dance floor, and the high-tech virtual interface when all kinds of participants order orders,

Like a black market, the perception of reality beyond reality, which replaces the artificial scene with technology,
It made Fangran feel the surprise and novelty in the underground district again.

"It's not the same as the black market, which is mainly used to trade items. The tavern is mainly a place for participants to release some commissions, exchange information, and pass the time,"

"As long as you want, you can also issue a commission here and let other participants do the work for you."

"Any commission will do?"

"As long as you can get paid."

After answering a few sentences in a concise and plain manner, Celika ignored all the sights around him and continued to walk towards the center of the room.
After listening to her explanation, Fangran nodded with a little understanding, and looked around curiously.

At this time, there were not too few people in the tavern but not too many,

Some are obviously acquaintances gathered in twos and threes chatting at the sofa booth, and some seem to be strangers sitting in front of the bar and chatting casually.

Some of them even covered their locations, while others didn't turn on the soundproofing device. They didn't seem to mind being heard chatting.
"A business entrusted by an enterprise to build a bridge, using superpowers to overcome some technical difficulties for the developer, and the reward is 1000 million."

"The latest news, there is a large auction on the black market in New York recently"

"I met a guy with a very special ability in the previous scene, some of you know"

"I have encountered some troubles. My equipment is seriously damaged. I want to find a mechanic to repair it. The repair fee is quoted at 200 million."

On the way to follow Celica towards the inside, I heard some conversations through the translator, most of which were commissions, scenes, and other information about North America.
It's an incredible feeling, hidden in the crowd, the participants who seem to be high and low will gather like this,

For a moment, there seems to be a breath of life like walking into the market,
Perceive the lives of the vast grassroots group of participants.

Then, just like there are always old people discussing state affairs in a teahouse, Fangran also heard something similar when passing by a bar.

"The leader of the king's court, even the fifth zero cavalry. The association has made a lot of noise in Europe this time. This is the first time this year."

"Oh, normal, how long has it been since the night war world entered a period of peace,"

"The number of participants is increasing and they are becoming more and more active. Some problems will be exposed sooner or later. From the moment the two overlords have different attitudes towards this, such things will definitely happen."

The moment Fangran heard such words, Fangran subconsciously paused.

"Before the next era comes, there may be another big war."

　Really, due to being too cavalier and dissatisfied with the plot, I have edited some chapters at least three times in the section starting from the off-screen scene. What’s more, I found that the rest can only relieve the pain, not let me think of the plot]
