The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

At the same time, Leo and Jason boarded the carriage again, but they didn't go directly back to Leo's apartment, but drove towards the garden cemetery under Leo's order.

"Do you know what's going on?" Jason didn't pay attention to the special bureau, but focused on the dead subordinate.

"You seem to be particularly concerned about this matter?" Leo looked at Jason and said with a smile.

"Hey!" Jason sighed, and explained helplessly: "I didn't want to compete for the position of the person in charge of the large cargo terminal, but Lisa said that since I am the chairman of the porters union, I am the manager of a terminal warehouse. It is no longer suitable for my status, and I need a higher position. The people under me also hope that I can have more power in the dock area, so I put my name on it. At that time, I didn’t think about whether I could Success, I didn’t ask Nelson to help block the lobbyists, and I didn’t look for those dignitaries who can influence the decision-making.” As he spoke, he laughed at himself and continued: “But the results will come out in two days. I feel a little nervous, maybe I still care about whether I can be elected successfully, so I am worried about any negative news related to me during this period."

"You don't have to worry about this, there won't be any news." Leo said with certainty. The reason why he was so sure was that the special bureau of the Kingdom of England would absolutely cover up all things about extraordinary power, so as not to let ordinary people People know, 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 reckless as he was back then, and his mind is much more flexible. He quickly realized what Leo's words implied, and confirmed: "Is it because of that special bureau?"

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, they should be a special department established by the kingdom, which is responsible for dealing with all kinds of things related to extraordinary power within the kingdom," he said, looking at Jason, and said, "use It won't be long before they should get in touch with you, and maybe even invite you to join the special bureau."

"Get in touch with me and join the special bureau?" Jason asked blankly, "Why are you looking for me?"

Leo reminded: "Remember what I told you about the blood in your body?"

Jason was stunned. He quickly remembered that Leo had mentioned before that he had a giant's blood in his body, and that he had been inspired, but he didn't care about it at the time, and he didn't think it was true. Leo was joking.

"What you said is true? I really have the blood of a giant?" Even now, Jason still couldn't believe it, and confirmed it.

Leo nodded, and asked suggestively: "Didn't you find any abnormalities in your body in these years? For example, you have never been sick again, or 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 happened to him in these years.

As Leo mentioned, he has never been sick again these years, and he will recover quickly after being injured, but the biggest abnormality in his memory is not these slight physical changes, but several things that make him feel sick. Things I still don't understand.

A few years ago, once he was blocked in a small alley by a group of wharf gangsters, and he was beaten unconscious by them, but when he finally woke up, he was in a remote wharf warehouse, with His clothes were torn, surrounded by the corpses of those gangsters, and the walls and floors of the warehouse were cracked.

The same thing happened several times later, every time he was in danger of life and death, this kind of abnormal situation would appear, the last time he even retained a little bit of vague memory, it seemed that a giant was helping him kill Those who attacked him died.

Now after Leo's reminder, he felt that the giant in his memory might not be some mysterious protector, but himself.

Just when Jason fell into the memory and felt a little overwhelmed, Leo said again: "The agent of the special bureau just now used some extraordinary power on you, but your blood blocked his power, and now he 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 a lot about the special bureau, Jason asked, "Have you joined that special bureau?"

"No." Leo shook his head. In his opinion, whether it is the Earth Federation or the current world of Velen, the secret departments of any country work in the same way. He can easily speculate that the people in the Special Bureau will prepare next How to do it.

"Do you think I should join?" Jason was a little dazed, stunned for a while, and asked again.

"I think you should join." Leo suggested: "I don't know much about the giant's bloodline, and I don't know how your body will continue to change. However, the special bureau is different, and they should have a lot of relevant information there. , and even how to develop your body’s blood, so you should join the special bureau based on your own good or bad. In addition, the special bureau is the secret department of the Kingdom of England. From the situation just now, They have a lot of power in their hands, and your joining will also be of great help to your career at the dock. The only thing you lose is absolute freedom, and you need to follow some orders to do things when necessary."

"Yeah." Jason nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have to think about it, and I'll talk about it when the time comes."

Hearing Jason's words, Leo also agreed, and sighed in his heart that Jason had indeed changed a lot. If it was before, Jason would definitely follow Leo's suggestion without hesitation, instead of having his own subjective consciousness like now .

"Where are we going now?" Jason asked in confusion after putting aside the affairs of the special bureau, and then turned his attention back to the present.

"Go to the black market." Leo replied.

"Black market?" Jason was stunned, and said, "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 building area."

Leo explained: "It's not the black market you went to, it's another black market."

Jason froze for a moment, and soon remembered a rumor he had heard. It was rumored that there were actually two black markets in Port of Sete.

One is the black market in the old factory area that specializes in selling contraband and smuggled goods. This black market is also a black market he often goes to. Selling to those established chambers of commerce that are inextricably linked to nobles is better than selling them on the black market. Although the price may not be the highest, it is much safer.

As for the other black market, it was just an unreliable rumor heard by Jason. It is rumored that there is also a very mysterious black market in Port of Scitech. This black market specializes in selling some mysterious items that most people in the world have never seen, but this black market The specific location of the black market is erratic, and there is no fixed location. The only thing that can be known is that this black market is in the underground cemetery.

Jason had looked for this mysterious black market in the past because of curiosity, but in the end he just fed mosquitoes in the cemetery for two days, so in his heart, the black market is the same as the various urban legends circulating in the Port of Dorset market. Unreliable.

But now from Leo, he knew that the mysterious black market really existed, which immediately made him excited and curious, and he couldn't wait to ask some questions related to the black market.

For example, whether it is really possible to buy pockets that allow people to obtain endless wealth in the black market, and other rumors that sound absurd.

Leo didn't answer, he just thought about the scene that looked like a sacrifice, and the blood that covered the entire wall of the room.

Jason's subordinates claimed that the man suddenly stated that his body and eyes could be healed one day before, and he was very sure of it. From this, it can be seen that he must have seen a successful example, otherwise a will like him would have been cured. A determined, suspicious and wary blind man could not easily borrow a large sum of money for such a ridiculous-sounding matter.

When he was in the house, Leo had already checked the situation inside and outside the house through the spirit network. He found that apart from a small amount of change in the bedside table, the deceased had no other money or valuables on him. Obviously, the deceased The money borrowed from a colleague has been spent.

If the money was spent through normal channels, then the people from the Special Bureau would definitely find some clues, but judging from the situation just now, the Special Bureau obviously did not have any useful clues, that is to say, the money was in the It was spent through normal channels. The only way to heal the body and eyes of the dead is all kinds of supernatural powers, and the black market is definitely a place where items with supernatural powers are sold without attracting attention and no one can track them down. .

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 of after entering the door was to stop Jason from speaking out. It seems that this is not the first time that the Special Bureau has experienced the same situation. Similar cases must have occurred in the local area, and the special bureau did not find any useful clues. Presumably, only places like the black market can intercept the special bureau's investigation.

As Leo thought, the carriage soon arrived at the garden cemetery. In order to show respect for the dead, except for the hearse specially escorting the coffin, no horse carriage or steam car is allowed to drive in the cemetery. Walk forward, even for those who come to visit the grave.

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 branches and leaves, and falling on the ground. Many civilians and middle-class people in Port Dorset are not qualified to go to the garden that only the rich and powerful in the city can go to. Therefore, they chose to use the purpose of having a large amount of vegetation as a garden for them to play during the day. For this reason, the city government even specially opened up some unplanted and pruned lawn spaces in the garden cemetery for civilians to play. needed.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there are many people in the cemetery during the day, and many hawkers gather. 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, it is now close to evening. Although the sky is still very bright, the sunset can already be seen in the distance, and it will be dark soon. It is because of this reason that the tall and strong Leo and Jason, who are walking inward against the crowd, are particularly eye-catching at this time. Almost everyone who walks by them can't help but take a look at the two of them. indivual.

Leo, who didn't expect this situation, laughed at himself and said: "It seems that I chose the wrong time to enter the cemetery. I should have been in the carriage just now, and I will come in after it gets dark and everyone is gone."

Jason, who is also not used to the attention of others, didn't say anything. He just lowered the brim of his hat and collar to cover his face, but his figure was so easy to remember, and he often lived in the porters of the poor. He is haunted in the area, so many people know him, and some family members of porters among them, they also came forward to say hello to Jason, and shouted a few words in support of him becoming the person in charge of the large cargo terminal, It made Jason very embarrassed.

However, this predicament soon passed. As they entered the depths of the cemetery, the number of people on the main street also decreased rapidly. At the end, only the two of them were left walking on the street, and the sky was gradually getting darker at this time. Dim down.

Although the number of people playing in the cemetery has decreased, some other people who keep watch for their relatives are still there. They all stay in the tombs of their families or relatives, light the latest fish oil lamps invented by the Kingdom of England, and wait for the next day. The dawn of the second day.

"I didn't expect the black market to be in the cemetery." Jason suddenly felt emotional on the road, and wondered: "However, how did they hide their tracks? I didn't know there was such a black market in Port of Dorset for so many years? "

Jason's unintentional question caught Leo's attention instead. As Jason said, it is inconceivable that this black market has not been discovered in Port of Dorset for so many years.

Although there are very few people who know about the black market, judging from the situation of entering the black market many times before, there are at least a hundred people in the entire city of Dorset who know the location of the black market and how to enter the black market. To be tight-lipped, but people who already have a certain status like Jason still don't know about this black market, so this matter is a bit strange. There is no doubt that the officials of the Kingdom of England are hiding information about the black market. Played a lot of role.

Thinking of this, Leo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and said thoughtfully, "The black market may have an official background in England?"

Leo's voice was not loud, but the surrounding was very quiet, and Jason on the side naturally heard it, but he just didn't understand what Leo said. He stared blankly at Leo.

Leo thought for a while, turned around, and said to Jason: "We will work separately in the black market later."

"Okay." Jason nodded without asking why.
