Chapter 222: The city that never sleeps

Views:

The city that never sleeps, only those who have truly lived in this city that cannot be searched on satellite maps will understand what this place is like.

This is a paradise for international criminals, a refuge for dissidents from all over the world, and a courtyard where old Jianghu people display their talents and inherit their skills. It is the Cave of Ecstasy and the Tomb of Heroes, the Paradise and the Hell on Earth.

You can’t see the green of spring, the red of summer, the yellow of autumn, or the white of winter here. But you can see stunning beauties from all over the world. Black, white, brown and yellow. Each one is unique and charming. All of them are goddaughters collected by Uncle Mori's men from all over the world and voluntarily stayed here. They are imprisoned in this dark city like canaries in a cage, living empty and happy lives.

The men who stay here are free to pursue any of them. As long as it is done voluntarily, Uncle Mori's guards will not interfere in any romantic affairs. There is only one condition: without the consent of Uncle Mori, heirs will never be allowed to be produced.

There is no heaven, no law, no country, no boundaries, but there are rules.

This place can support many people who may never be needed, but it will never support useless people. If Uncle Sen needs you to do something, you must do it, otherwise there is only one result, which is death. There are no cells for the living here, and the dead will become food for wild beasts. Therefore, the first rule is that everyone must unconditionally obey Uncle Mori's words.

Everyone who comes here for the first time will have an interview-like opportunity to contact Mr. Sen. After that, they will have two choices. One is that those who Mr. Sen thinks are useful can stay, and they will receive corresponding courtesy according to their ability. Here you can enjoy the pursuit of pleasure with rich clothes and fine food; secondly, those who are considered useless by Uncle Mori will get an opportunity to enter the beast valley, where they will compete with the beasts for survival opportunities, and at the same time face noble people from all over the world who have close contacts with Uncle Mori. People's hunting.

Therefore, the second rule is that you must be someone useful to Uncle Mori to be worthy of living here.

Fighting is not prohibited here, and there is no problem in fighting in any way, but you must not hurt the beauties here. You can use guns, you can use poison, you can plot sneak attacks, you can also launch challenges openly, but you can't fight in groups, and you can't form small groups of more than three people, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules, and violators will die!

Finally, none of the rules apply to the Huo people.

The Huo people are the descendants of the Huo family. Each of the three Huo brothers has more than a hundred women and hundreds of children, and the number in the third generation is thousands. Their common trademark is to only wear bright yellow clothes. In the city that never sleeps, if anyone else wears this color without the approval of Uncle Mori, they will be executed immediately. There is only one person who can be recognized by Uncle Sen as a Huo tribesman, and that is a son-in-law who marries a Huo tribesman's daughter.

Women in the Nightless City are not allowed to leave here, but men are not absolutely prohibited. Some people who are trusted by Uncle Mori can get the opportunity to go out to do business. It's just that before leaving, you must be implanted with a poison wrapped in an electronic device, and carry electronic monitoring equipment with you. Once betrayal is discovered, you will be executed immediately. Even if the equipment occasionally malfunctions, those who leave will never escape the pursuit of the top killers under the boss of the Huo family.

It was only after Li Muye was on the scene that he realized what kind of existence he had offended by killing Huo Shan.

Although the Huo people do not try to completely control any country in the world, they are definitely a giant in the underground world. In Mongolia, almost all businessmen of sufficient importance have either boarded their ship or are trying their best to get on board. They hardly need to be closely associated with the government to impose their will on the country at any time. Whether it is politics, military, economics, in all fields, anytime and anywhere.

Pi Rixiu said that his Insect King once sensed the existence of the squid here, and he also tried to sneak in to search for it, but he caught up with Huo Ze and his people to bring Huo Shan's body back, and was killed by Huo Ze before he could sneak in. He realized that if the Insect King hadn't commanded the Earth Insects to desperately protect him, he would never have had the chance to meet Li Muye.

Despite the fact that this old guy usually talks about the world with nothing left to show, when he really talks about Huo Ze, he looks like he is still frightened. Li Muye has been here for three days and settled down in a wooden house near the nine-story enamel tower.

Now, Li Muye is the exclusive chef of the Nine-story Enamel Tower. On weekdays, except for taking care of three meals a day, you can freely move around the entire city at other times. The city that never sleeps is so large that it is impossible to visit it all in just a few days. After searching for several days, no trace of the wild beast that Pi Rixiu had mentioned was found. But he accidentally met an acquaintance - Huo Jingshan, who almost killed Brother Xiaoye.

At that time, she was wearing a bright yellow robe and was sitting by a small lake fishing. When they met again, Li Muye changed his appearance and she could no longer recognize him. The lake was steaming and it didn't look like there were fish, but this fierce woman was very persistent and serious about fishing there.

There are several words embroidered on her collar, including the word "大泽" on the left collar, which means that she is Huo Ze's flesh and blood. There are two lines of words on the right. The first line is the word "Jing", which means that she is the 19th among the generation of "Jing". The other two words are "Female", which means that she is ranked among the second generation girls of the Huo family. First.

The atmosphere in the city that never sleeps is open, and there are too many children of the Huo clan. It is not enough just to dress according to the rules. They are numbered to clearly mark the paternal identity, so as to avoid scandals that will ruin the family ethics.

Boss Huo had given birth to thirty-eight sons before raising such a daughter, she should be very precious.

"Hey, that person." Huo Jingshan shouted to Li Muye: "Are you the new cook of the Nine-story Enamel Tower?"

Li Muye didn't want to talk to her, but in this case, walking away would easily arouse suspicion, so he had no choice but to stop and nod.

"Can you fish?" Huo Jingshan asked.

Li Muye wanted to say no, but swallowed the words as they came to his lips. Japanese insect masters established themselves in cooking and traveled around the world. While collecting treasures and stealing fragrances, they were also looking for the best delicacies in the world, flying in the sky and on the ground. Whether it's running or swimming in water, as long as it's edible, there's nothing we won't dabble in. At that time, Gao Yuelong fished for golden turtles with three bowls of fairy soup, and his skills were astonishing all over the world, and he was considered the number one fisherman in the world. Isn't it a joke to spread the news that we are both Japanese insect masters but don't know how to fish

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I know a little bit about it."

Huo Jingshan was immediately delighted: "Quick, help me, there are obviously a lot of fish in this lake, but I can't catch it."

Li Muye came over and asked, "What do you use for fishing?"

Huo Jingshan opened the box specially filled with bait and said, "I have tried many kinds of bait, including live bugs, but they don't work."

Li Muye took a look and was really prepared, saying: "In addition to choosing the right bait for fishing, the right time, the cooperation between the hook, lead, sinker, and float, and other factors may determine the amount of fish caught. Different fish have different feeding habits and eating habits. If there is a slight deviation, it will be difficult to gain anything. I am not familiar with the situation here, and I am afraid I can’t help you much for a while." He raised his feet and left.

"Don't leave yet." Huo Jingshan hurriedly stopped her and said aggressively: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Anyone who loves fishing knows what you are talking about. You have said so much, but there is nothing concrete. Dangdang Ribu Isn’t it just these two moments for the Insect Earth Master?”

This is a bit different.

Li Muye couldn't see the mood swings on her face, and he didn't know whether she was suspicious or deliberately making things difficult. But having said that, if he just left like this, it would be tantamount to showing cowardice. God knows whether this eldest lady of the Huo clan would run to Huo Sen and arrange something for her. I had no choice but to turn around and come back, walked to the small lake and tested the water temperature with my hands. It was over 30 degrees, but it looked very hot due to the mist.

Huo Jingshan reminded: "Be careful, the big red fish here are very fierce, even chickens and ducks can be eaten if you throw them in."

"If you have a ferocious eating habit, you should make a nest with meat bait to lure the fish." Li Muye had never really learned the skills of Japanese insect masters in catching fish, so he could only rely on his rich common sense to try his luck.

Huo Jingshan said: "There are a lot of fish in this lake. There is no need to build nests to lure fish."

Li Muye said: "Since there are so many, why do you have to use fishing to catch fish? Why don't you just buy a net and cast a few nets?"

"I don't need you to worry about it. I just like fishing, okay?"

"Then change the bait to meat. Any meat will do."

"Just wait, I'll go back and get the meat."

Li Muye watched her go away, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't recognize Brother Xiaoye. He fumbled around in the treasure bag he carried with him. Small equipment such as paralysis rings and watch buttons were all in it. Fortunately, he thought carefully before coming here and put all these things away, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous if the fierce woman saw him. Then she thought that there was a Feitian Night Armor vest on her that had also caught her eye. It was too late to take it off at this time, so she could only be careful not to expose it for her to see.

Not long after, Huo Jingshan came back with a fresh half sheep, threw it on the ground, and said, "Here, I'll leave it to you. I'll see how good you are at fishing for golden turtles in fairy soup."

Li Muye didn't want to talk to her too much, so he quietly put a little bit of purple dragon wood blood powder in the palm of his hand. When cutting the mutton, he mixed some blood water and smeared it on the surface. After a while, the mutton started to smell fragrant. He picked up the remaining bones and meat and threw them into the lake. Then he cut off the mutton into small pieces and hung them on the fishhook and threw them into the water.

"You have a profession and a specialty. We are cooks, not professional fishermen. In any case, our fishing methods are not as good as those who are professional fishermen..." As soon as he said this, a huge change suddenly occurred in the lake. As if a pot was boiling, countless big red fish swam in from all directions, each one as thick as a child's thigh, and gathered in the water in front like a meeting.

Suddenly I felt my hand feel heavy, and a fish took the bait!

I asked casually: "Are you going to eat for fishing?"

"This kind of fish is so bloody, how can you eat it? I have a cat named Kuidou, and this is for that greedy guy." Huo Jingshan looked at it in surprise and said: "You are amazing, there must be something in here What is a secret that is not told?"

Got a cat? Li Makoye had an idea and asked again: "In order to prevent anyone from spreading news to the outside world, isn't it true that no one is allowed to keep animals here?"

Huo Jingshan said: "I just caught the Hu Leibao from the Yinshan Mountains by my master. Because it was born with deformities, it is delicious, lazy and has no spirituality. I only raised it with my dad's approval."

"Where is it? Can you let me have a look?" (End of Chapter)
