Chapter 3726 Tomb Street
"Sir, you are out."
A voice slowly came into Angel's ears. He looked up and saw a gangster wearing sunglasses and exuding a gangster air running towards him in small steps.
This person was the young man in the flowered shirt who had sold his position to Angell. He smiled, waved happily, and walked quickly to Angell's side.
When the two were only a body length away from each other, he slowly put away the smile on his face, and then lowered his voice to whisper in Angel's ear: "Sir, why did you come out with the packaging box so blatantly? Why didn't you ask the security team to deliver it directly to your home..." At this point, he lowered his voice again, "Here, there are many eyes staring at the model you exchanged, you have to be careful."
After saying this, he looked around cautiously, "Uncle Rayleigh asked me to come pick you up..."
As he spoke, he pointed slightly toward the distance with his chin.
Angel looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the vendor waving at him vigorously from behind the crowd.
Angel had not originally intended to trouble them, but...Angel noticed that Com was actually standing next to the vendor, and he and the vendor seemed to be whispering something.
Angel was planning to go find Com, so he didn't hesitate at all and nodded decisively: "Let's go."
Angel followed him outside.
As they walked along, mutants around them kept looking at Angel... and the packaging box he was carrying.
Their eyes were filled with greed and covetousness.
Even though the staff at the prize redemption office had already said that what Angel redeemed was the Green Giant model, but... it could still be worth a lot of money.
In addition, because Ingres was carrying a packaging box, only a few people noticed him. But as they walked, more and more people looked over.
Seeing this, the young man in the flowered shirt sighed.
Then, he put away his helplessness, displayed an extremely arrogant and domineering expression, kept making weird faces at the mutants around him, and even made some indecent gestures.
This seemingly shameless action made the surrounding mutants retreat.
Some mutants thought for a moment or even turned around and left.
Ingres naturally understood that the young man in the flowered shirt was using this method to help him avoid disaster.
What Angel didn't expect was that this seemingly ruffian thug actually had a great reputation among the mutants.
Most of these mutants who clearly had ill intentions towards the model actually retreated under his silent threat.
The only two or three people left were now much more restrained than before with their nakedly greedy eyes.
Soon, they came to the side of the vendor.
"Uncle Rayleigh!" After bringing Angel here, the young man in the flowered shirt greeted him and continued to maintain his "fighting stance", looking back and forth at the people around him.
Angel looked at the vendor. He didn't know his name before, but now he knew that his name was Rayleigh.
When he saw Angel, Rayleigh immediately came forward.
There was a round of congratulations and greetings, and then Rayleigh whispered, "Why did you exchange for the Green Giant model? This thing is hard to sell. Oh, forget it. If you really like it, you'd better keep it. By the way, let me introduce someone to you."
Under Angel's gaze, Rayleigh pointed to Com next to him and said, "This is a model collector. His name is Com."
Com also smiled at Angel when he took off his hat.
"Com is very interested in the Green Light Giant model that sir just exchanged and wants to take a look at it."
When Rayleigh said this, he deliberately moved closer to Angel and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Comm just came to see me..."
As Rayleigh spoke, Ingres roughly understood the situation.
Com probably saw Angel and Rayleigh standing together before, so he thought of contacting himself through Rayleigh.
As for the reason... naturally it's for the Green Light Giant model.
Why did Rayleigh agree to Com's request?
Because this is what Com said: "I just want to see the Green Light Giant model, if it is possible, he is willing to pay two hundred Modern coins for it."
In Rayleigh's opinion, Com was just taking a look and not trying to take it by force.
In addition, Com's reputation was good in the Eighth Town, so Rayleigh agreed to help.
"You just need to lend it to him and he will give you 200 Modern coins." Rayleigh: "This deal is definitely worth it."
Angel knew what Com was thinking, so he knew very well that Com was not trying to "look" at the Hulk, he wanted to check whether there were any legendary pages inside the model.
Kangmu had a good idea. He could confirm whether there was anything inside the model without spending money to buy the Green Light Giant...
Angel clicked his tongue in his heart but remained calm on the surface.
Seeing that Rayleigh had finished speaking, Com came over and said, "Sir, you chose the Green Light Giant model. There is no doubt that you are a real collector."
"Although I also like the Green Giant model, I would never do anything to steal the love of a collector like you..."
“So, I just want to borrow it and take a look.”
"Please rest assured, sir. The whole process will be witnessed by you. There will be no damage to the model."
Kangmu spoke sincerely and his expression was full of sincerity.
Angel laughed inwardly, but still looked surprised: "I didn't expect to meet someone like me here."
"Since we share the same interests, I am naturally willing to share it with Mr. Com. However..."
Ingres looked around, looking troubled.
"This model is quite large. It seems inappropriate to display it here in broad daylight."
Kang Mu immediately said: "You can go to my house!"
As he finished speaking, Com suddenly remembered that he had several Green Giant models at home. If he really took Angel to his home, his lie would be exposed.
He quickly added: "Ahem, but my home is a bit far from here, how about we find a tea shop nearby? And treat the gentleman to a cup of tea while we're at it."
Angel didn't say anything, but Rayleigh next to him said, "There are many exquisite things like tea shops on the surface. But here, there is only one, and it's far away from here."
At this point, Rayleigh suddenly pointed in the direction of the wishing tree: "My warehouse is over there. If you don't mind the mess, you can go to my warehouse."
Rayleigh paused and winked at Angel. "There is a back door in the warehouse. Once it is opened, you will be able to get to the nearby Red Alley. You can leave from there when the time comes, and no one will notice."
Rayleigh also secretly pointed at several mutants nearby.
Although they no longer stared at Angel due to the intimidation of the young man in the flowered shirt, they still gave him subtle glances from time to time.
Obviously, they still haven't given up.
Angel: "I don't care. It depends on whether Mr. Com is willing."
"Of course." Com naturally would not refuse. As long as Angel didn't go to his house, they could go anywhere.
After reaching a consensus, Rayleigh took Angel and Com toward the wishing tree.
As they left, several mutants around them immediately followed.
However, before they could catch up, they were stopped by the young man in the flowered shirt. Not only him, but there were also several other hooligans around him.
These people were exactly the group of thugs who appeared at the gate when Angel came to the Eighth Town before.
If the young man in the flowered shirt was the only one there, the mutants around him might not be taken seriously.
But now a group of people came over, and the mutants finally gave up tracking.
……
On the other side, Rayleigh took them to the back of the wishing tree.
Behind the wishing tree is the wall of the cave. At first glance, there is nothing there and it seems to be a dead end.
However, Rayleigh touched something with ease, and the originally gray and lifeless cave wall suddenly turned into a narrow door.
As the door was gently pushed open, a dark and deep passage appeared before their eyes.
The passage wound downward, and after a few steps, they stepped into an underground corridor filled with holographic lights and shadows.
This corridor was not quiet, as a large number of people lingered here. There were even quite a few people setting up stalls here, making it seem like a long and narrow street market hidden underground?
Angel looked at it from a God's perspective. This corridor was very long, with many forks and exits. There was even an exit that led directly to the Wandering House headquarters.
The cave wall behind the wishing tree is also one of the exits.
Perhaps realizing that it was the first time for Angel and Com to come here, Rayleigh introduced: "This is Tomb Street."
"Tomb... Street?" Kang Mu frowned: "This name sounds unlucky."
Rayleigh smiled and said, "Because this was originally a tomb."
Kangmu: “???”
Rayleigh smiled and without keeping anyone in suspense, he explained the situation in detail in a few words.
Tomb Street was originally a converted underground tomb...but there were no corpses in this tomb.
This tomb was built by a new king on earth, who originally intended it to be a resting place for himself a hundred years later. But later, the tomb owner followed King Lucky and left the Modern City, and never came back.
And this large tomb was abandoned.
Later, when the eighth town was opened up, the headquarters of the Wandering House was moved here. They found that the underground tomb was extremely wide and there was a lot of space, so it was requisitioned as a warehouse.
As time went by, the original warehouse was slowly transformed into a cemetery street. More people moved in and it became what it is today.
Although it is called a "tomb" street, there is actually no feeling of decadence here at all.
Because the tomb passage is narrow, there are many people setting up stalls, and many people live here. People walking here are shoulder to shoulder, which makes this place full of fireworks and popularity.
Rayleigh rented a warehouse on Tomb Street to store the goods he usually sold when he was setting up a stall. This warehouse was not far from them.
Just around a corner a hundred meters away.
After a difficult journey amidst the crowds of people, they finally entered the warehouse.
As soon as the door was closed, not only did the air become fresher, but the noisy sounds outside also disappeared instantly.
"This is my warehouse." Rayleigh came over and pressed a hole in the metal wall. The dark warehouse was immediately illuminated by a ceiling light.
The warehouse was not big, but it was filled with a lot of boxes, which were classified into different categories and contained the goods that Rayleigh used to set up his stall. Most of the boxes were covered with plastic sheets, and only the boxes marked "prayer" were opened.
In the box, Angel saw many things for blessing, including the luck-bringing props he had bought before, magic incense and candles, lucky coins, red ropes... everything you could think of.
Looking at the goods inside, Angel could imagine: Harman brought him to the Eighth Town, and the gangster youth learned that he was going to pray at the wishing tree, so he went to find Rayleigh, who immediately arranged the goods for the blessing, and then set up a stall in front of the wishing tree...
It's a complete one-stop service.
Rayleigh: "I don't have any stools here, you can sit directly in the cargo box. Don't worry, the box is sturdy enough and will never tip over."
After a pause, he said, "Even if it's knocked over, I won't blackmail you."
Kang Mu smiled dryly and said nothing.
Angel said, "It's okay, I brought my own stool."
Rayleigh and Com were startled and turned to look at Angel.
When they saw this, they were all stunned for two seconds. Ingres produced a chair from nowhere and sat down on it.
Not only the chairs, but even the table appeared.
At the same time, opposite the table, which happened to be opposite Ingres, there were two more chairs, as if waiting for the two of them to sit down.
Rayleigh was about to ask how this chair appeared, but the next second, his eyes became confused and he sat down unconsciously.
Like Rayleigh, Com's eyes flashed with doubt, and a large number of nightmare nodes poured into his brows from the outside world.
Soon, he sat down too.
There is no doubt that they have been controlled by the nightmare.
……
"Please introduce yourself." Angel looked at Com.
Although Angel already knew something about Com through NPC information, he still had to ask in order to trigger the side quest.
The personal experience that Kang described was similar to the NPC information, but he also added a lot of information that was not in the NPC information.
For example, Com actually has a legal identity, and he even has his own villa on the surface.
But he was afraid that he would run into his former colleagues from Wanzhao Group and worried that the secret of "the legendary pages were stolen by himself" would be exposed, so he has been living in the underground block.
He also described in detail how he obtained the legendary pages.
In the NPC information, the process of how he obtained the legendary page was condensed into one sentence: "By chance, he obtained the legendary page."
But the reality is actually quite ups and downs.
Originally, the owner of the legendary book page, "Prologue: Spectrum", was a high-level magician of Wanzhao Group. Because this prologue did not match his magic book, he planned to take out the page and exchange it for the prologue he wanted.
But the chance of the prologue appearing is very small. The magician has had the prologue for many years but has not successfully exchanged it. For safety reasons, he can only lock it in the company's cabinet.
And then...Wanzhao Group was robbed.
The thief stole the prologue and was not caught.
A week passed and there was still no news of the thief.
Everyone thought that the legendary page had been completely lost, even Com had guessed so. However, not long after, he found the stolen page in a flower bud in the small garden.
I guess the thief hid here...
As for why he didn't take it away, Com didn't know.
But since he saw it, he secretly took the page away.
This is how the story hidden inside the model came about...
