In the morning, the sky was cloudy, which may be a sign of rain. Wang Xu walked alone on the street, looking preoccupied. He turned off his phone and hid his spiritual knowledge, obviously not wanting anyone to find him.
After a few streets, he came to a deserted alley and opened the sewer entrance...
A few days ago, Wang Xu's words from the money shopkeeper have been lingering in Wang Xu's mind. Although he didn't show anything in front of Albert at that time, he had already made up his mind to meet the chief boss in the black area of the scare box— Mr. You.
He came again to the room with four elevators side by side. Today, there are no people (ghosts, monsters, everything).
Wang Xu pressed the button of the black elevator, and after a while, the door opened. A bandaged man in a uniform stood there. It was tall, two heads taller than Wang Xu, and his voice gave off a decayed feeling, as if his throat hadn't been wet for three to five months. .
"You, want to see Mr. You?" it asked.
Wang Xu looked up at it and replied, "Yes."
"Do you know the rules?"
"Know."
"Then... come in." It didn't ask any more questions.
Wang Xu walked into the elevator. There is only one button in this black elevator, but it is not a flipper-shaped button, but a very ordinary square button. The man in the bandage stretched out his long and narrow fingers and pressed it, and almost at the same time, a feeling of falling came.
Although his feet were still firmly on the ground and he was standing upright, Wang Xu felt as if he was going bungee jumping, as if he was being pulled into the abyss by some kind of force. The instinct of his body made him shrink his neck and tense up. the muscles of the legs.
This disturbing feeling of falling lasted for quite a long time, but finally disappeared suddenly. Everything just now was like an illusion.
The door opened, and Wang Xu took a sharp breath of the air outside the elevator, feeling a little better in his chest. The bandage said: "Please."
Wang Xu walked out, and before he had time to look back, the elevator door was closed again.
In front of him was a huge space that could not be seen, the surrounding was pitch black, but there was light under the floor, the floor was like a chess board, intertwined with black and white floor tiles.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground came from the empty darkness, and soon, a slightly chunky man appeared in front of Wang Xu. He combed his hair back, wore a pince-nez, and wore a crisp tuxedo, with leather shoes that shone like a mirror.
He spoke in a very friendly voice, "Mr. Wang Xu, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." Without waiting for Wang Xu to speak, he said directly: "I am the person in charge of this scare box. They call me Mr. You, you You can also call me that, please follow me." The fat man turned and left, and Wang Xu had to follow.
After walking for quite a distance, I still didn’t see anything resembling a wall, not even a ceiling. Just when Wang Xu suspected that this place was an infinite space similar to the spiritual time room, a few pieces of furniture suddenly appeared on the horizon.
There is a couch, a coffee table, a small cabinet, and there is a color TV on it.
The chubby Mr. You jumped onto the sofa, "Please sit down."
Wang Xu sat not far from him.
"Tea, please."
There was indeed a teapot and teacups on the coffee table. Wang Xu thanked him and poured himself a cup of black tea, which was still hot.
Mr. You picked up the remote control and turned on the TV: "What programs do you like to watch?"
Wang Xu couldn't help looking at the cable TV cable behind the small color TV. He was really curious at the moment, how long is this cable... and where does it connect to...
"Well... I casually..."
"Okay." Mr. You locked the channel on the satellite TV channel of a certain local station, and there is a 30-minute advertisement in which XX copycat mobile phones only sell for how much they sell.
"I like this kind of show very much. It's almost like shooting a reality show. Their nonsensical but excited performances are a true portrayal of the gradual degeneration of human beings in this century. It is far more human than the boring and fake news in the media, isn't it? ?”
Wang Xu shrugged, he never looked at these things.
Mr. You continued: "For the sake of profit, they can carry out frauds in the public media unscrupulously. Also for the sake of profit, these media provide them with a platform for fraud, and the things they sell are far from the value they boast. I understand, but people in the chain of interests will not speak out. And they try their best to make this behavior appear legal, what a ridiculous and sad farce, just like those who sold fake gold on the street hundreds of years ago Watches and aphrodisiacs are on TV every day."
Wang Xu said: "Is it ridiculous? I just think it's sad. Besides, aren't you also a businessman?"
"Of course there's a big difference. They're liars, but I'm a businessman, a very honest businessman. If someone wants to pay far more than the value of the goods to buy my goods, I'll remind him. They won't, that's the big difference.
Human nature is ugly, Wang Xu, people want to make a lot of money and take advantage as much as possible. In this era, the few remaining honest people are called fools by most people. Hehe... Who is the fool? The account calculated by the smart guys is actually just a ticket to hell. "
But Wang Xu replied: "Even if you say that, I'm still very disturbed about your 'business'..."
Mr. You smiled: "But you will never turn back, won't you?"
"certainly."
"Then... tell me what you want, wealth, prestige, power, as long as you can give me an equal exchange, I can give you all of these."
"Hehe..." Wang Xu also laughed, "I don't want any of these."
"Oh? It's a very smart choice... These are really not of high value, so what do you want to live forever? Or a handsome face that can charm women?"
"All I want is a person's whereabouts."
Mr. You's face suddenly darkened: "The person you want to inquire about... is one of the Big Three in the Yin-Yang world. I don't think you have the potential value to exchange this information."
"Hmph... It seems that you have guessed who I'm looking for... So, what if I insist on you taking over this business?" Wang Xu was aggressive this time.
Mr. You turned off the TV and stared into Wang Xu's eyes: "I also don't think you have the ability to force me to do something."
Wang Xu sneered and put down the teacup: "Then there's nothing to talk about?"
The smile returned to Mr. You's face again: "Wang Xu, don't you want to use force to force me to submit?"
"If there are other plans, you might as well bring them up." He was also blunt.
Mr. You said: "I am different from any ghost, monster, human, or demon you have ever seen. I am a very high-ranking existence. Even the regent cannot interfere with me. Your challenge to me has no chance of winning." , do you understand?"
"Ha! Are you bluffing?"
"No, as I said before, I am a very ethical businessman, and I am just trying to persuade you to rein in the precipice before you are about to enter into a business that is sure to lose no profit."
"Since you see everything so clearly and calmly, then you should also understand... There are some things in this world that you have to do even if you lose your life!" Wang Xu stood up and looked into Mr. You's eyes.
Mr. You still looked very calm. He waved his finger lightly, and suddenly there was a glaring white light in the sky. Wang Xu looked up and saw a huge crack appearing above their heads, and the light was shining down from this gap.
Then, a suffocating scene appeared. A huge human face flashed out from the gap, covering a little of the light. This face was as big as a football field, and his appearance was actually an enlarged version. Mr. You!
He easily lifted the "roof" of Wang Xu's space, two dragon-like arms stretched out from the air, and one hand grabbed the miniature version of "Mr. You".
Wang Xu's eyes widened, watching Mr. You, who was drinking tea with him, chatting and watching TV, was turned away by a big hand, and there was actually a clockwork behind him! He followed behind him just now and obviously didn't see this thing.
The big face said with a smile: "Wang Xu, you are a very interesting person, please come out and talk to me." He put the toy that looked exactly like himself aside, stretched out his other hand, and looked at Wang Xu. Flatten your face.
Wang Xu looked at the fat hand in front of him, and felt strongly that this situation was a replica of the Tathagata old man who invited his grandson Monkey to his Five Fingers Mountain...
