"Damn, I was cheated!" On the bottom floor of the cruise ship, Zhang Youzi was lying in the middle of a pile of sundries and garbage, enduring the unspeakable stench in the cabin, feeling really bad. The ticket given by the so-called Brother Dao is not a boat ticket at all, but a fucking temporary work contract,
As soon as he boarded the ship, before he had time to catch his breath, he was taken to the bottom by the sailors, where he did dirty and hard work, and finally hid in the cargo hold to be lazy.
"I suffered from being uneducated again, and I would have never dropped out of school before I knew it." Zhang Youzi crossed his legs and muttered to himself: "When you finish this job, you must draw a clear line with Dao Laogou. But, how do you sneak into the upper floors of the cruise ship now?" According to the previous routine, it was nothing more than finding a rich man, stealing his money and clothes, and then pretending to be his identity to sneak into the upper floors. But now there is some trouble, he is not a passenger, but a sailor, and he can't even go to the ordinary passenger cabin
Yes, it's a bit of a headache. "Why don't you just forget about it. I won't do any shit tasks." Zhang Youzi thought for a while, but still had no idea, and gave up on himself after having a headache, "See if there are any valuable goods here. not far from the port
, Then steal an escape boat and return to Tianjin Port. "
Zhang Youzi turned over and jumped up, searched around, found an iron rod, and started to pry the wooden box that was lying just now.
"Huh? This is..."
In the rectangular wooden box, in addition to the foam used to reduce the pressure, there are neatly arranged black blocks, each of which is about the size of a human palm, and it is a bit heavy to start with, probably weighing five or six catties.
"What is it? Bricks?" Zhang Youzi had never seen this kind of thing before. He took out a piece, bit it with his mouth, and found that it was not metal or edible: "It's useless, forget it, look at it." Another box."
After prying more than a dozen boxes in a row, they were all such inexplicable things, and Zhang Youzi was completely confused.
"What the hell is this? Is it very valuable?" Zhang Youzi was puzzled in his heart, adhering to the principle that thieves would not leave empty space, he still touched a few pieces and hid them on his body.
Before he had time to pry into other boxes, voices suddenly sounded outside.
Zhang Youzi was taken aback, quickly covered the boxes again, and secretly hid himself in a hidden corner.
Almost at the same time, three people sneaked in furtively, and quietly closed the hatch again.
"How are you thinking?" One of the tall and strong men said coldly.
The other two seemed to be sailors, because Zhang Youzi smelled a strong smell of the sea from them, as well as an undisguised body odor.
"This, this is not easy." Sailor A said hesitantly.
The tall man said coldly: "Do you want to make money?"
"But there are three or four thousand people on board, if..." First Sailor's tone was very uncertain, "I really can't bear it."
"It's not that I want you to kill people, just pretend you can't bear it!" The tall man said murderously: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, so I just ask you whether to do it or not!"
The sailor man sighed: "Okay, I'll do it."
"What about you?" The tall man looked at the other person.
Sailor B only said: "Additional money is required, and it must be paid in advance."
"Money is not a problem, I can give you half of it now." The tall man said lightly: "But afterwards, you must keep your mouth shut. If you leak any information, you, including your family members, will die."
Regarding this point, the two sailors had no objection and nodded. "As soon as the ship enters the high seas, you can do it." Satisfied with the reaction of the two, the tall man casually opened the wooden box next to him, took out pieces of "black bricks" that Youzi thought just now, and ordered: " Above the third floor, you don't need to do anything, I
Other arrangements. On other floors, every room and corridor must be pasted every ten meters, understand? "
"Understood." The two said in unison.
The three discussed a few more words in secret before leaving in a hurry.
Zhang Youzi, who was hiding in the dark, could only hear the general idea, but his expression was no longer in a good mood. It seemed that someone on board was plotting something big, which sounded bad. "What the hell are these things?" Zhang Youzi took out the two "black bricks" he had just stolen from his pocket. "It seems that this ship is not safe. I have to find a way to steal a lifeboat and return to Tianjin Port as soon as possible." As for that The task Brother Dao gave him, he has thrown it to the sky
Yunwai has gone, everything else is life-saving, everything else is bullshit.
Thinking of this, Zhang Youzi waited for a while before slipping out quietly.
...
Near midnight, butler William knocked on the door of Xia Tian and Ah Jiu's room: "Master, the exchange meeting will begin immediately."
After a while, the door opened, and Xia Tian walked out with Ah Jiu, both of them dressed casually, they were comfortable and comfortable, they were not interested in any famous brand or design.
The butler, William, kept his eyes fixed and said with a smile on his face, "The exchange meeting is on the 12th floor. Please come with me, both of you."
"You, lead the way." Ah Jiu nodded. "Okay." The housekeeper William walked in front, about a step and a half ahead of the two, leaning slightly sideways, explaining to them the precautions in the exchange meeting from time to time: "This exchange meeting is semi-public. Passengers on board can
to participate. However, those with invitation letters have priority in transactions and can choose not to disclose their identities. "
Ah Jiu asked casually: "How many people will there be in the exchange meeting?" "There is no rule about this, and this time there will probably be less than a hundred people." William Xu, the housekeeper, explained: "Each invitation letter will not exceed sixty at most. For those who do not have an invitation letter, there are also some thresholds for the exchange meeting, which can isolate most
Purely for fun. "
"What threshold?" Ah Jiushuang asked.
"You don't need to ask? No matter where you are, the best threshold is money." At this time, a rather unkind voice sounded from the side, "If you have money, especially if you have enough money, then you can do whatever you want, such as Tell me." The person who came was Cai Jiaxu, and beside him was a person who looked a little familiar to Xia Tian, who was Xu Jiaona's cousin Xu Xiaojun. This little girl was showing no pretense to Cai Jiaxu a few days ago, but now she is wrapping his arms very naturally.
The change is too big, and I don't know what happened during this period.
"Xiaxia, you see, right now Xiaojun is mine, you'd better not think about her." Cai Jiaxu seemed to have forgotten the thing about being beaten by Xia Tian before, and he still warned self-righteously.
Xu Xiaojun also glanced at Xia Tian, showing quite apologetic eyes, but said nothing.
"Idiot." Xia Tian was not interested in other people's affairs, and didn't bother to ask, he just scolded Cai Jiaxu.
"Xiamen, remember it!" Cai Jiaxu was still upset, staring at Xia Tian and said, "You won't get anything from this longevity event, no matter what you want to buy, I will buy it at ten times the price Yes." "Then your money may not be enough." Ah Jiu couldn't help laughing, although she didn't know how much property Xia Xia had, the group of genius doctors alone was a behemoth that many rich people looked up to, and he still had a hand Doctors who can earn sky-high prices at any time
There are not many people in this world who can have more money than him, let alone the idiot in front of him.
"Hmph!" Cai Jiaxu snorted coldly, and slowly walked into the meeting place with Xu Xiaojun in his arms.
Before going in, Xu Xiaojun suddenly turned her head and gave Xia Tian an inexplicable look, but she still didn't say anything.
"Do you know this little girl?" Of course Ah Jiu also saw Xu Xiaojun's eyes, "She seems to have encountered some kind of problem."
"Acquaintance is acquaintance, but I'm not familiar with it." Xia Tian said indifferently: "Jiu girl, whether she encounters difficulties or not, it has nothing to do with us."
Ah Jiu thought so too, they still have a lot of troubles to solve.
"The meeting place is right in front. According to the regulations, it is inconvenient for me to go in, so I waited outside." William, the housekeeper, stood in front of the meeting place with a smile on his face. "Of course, if the master needs anything, he can tell me to do it at any time."
Xia Tian said lazily: "No need, just stay here."
After finishing speaking, he put his arms around Ah Jiu's slender waist, pushed open the door of the venue, and walked in slowly.
Inside the venue, the space is quite large, with more than a dozen large round tables, and there are already many people sitting around those round tables. It doesn't look like an exchange meeting, but more like a dinner party.
They came late in summer, so they didn't have many choices, so they just picked the nearest empty table and sat down. "The people here... are a bit strange." Ah Jiu looked around at the people at the venue, and the situation was a bit beyond her expectation. She originally thought that most of the people who came to participate in the so-called Longevity Association must be people in their fifties and sixties like Fang Tianqi.
People only have that unrealistic idea when old age and death are approaching. However, most of the people in the venue at this time are under forty years old, and there are even a few minors, which is really puzzling.
"Jiu girl, what's so strange about this." Xia Tian yawned lazily and said disapprovingly.
Ah Jiu said his thoughts, and then asked: "Don't you think it's strange at all, these people are still young, their youth is just right, they are not busy enjoying life, what kind of longevity are they looking for?"
Xia Tian grinned: "Jiu girl, you are a bit stupid too. People who seek longevity are not necessarily old men, there are also people who are dying."
"What?" Ah Jiu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then understood: "You mean these people..."
"That's right." Xia Tian nodded, "Everyone in this Longevity Society is short-lived ghosts." Xia Tian's words first aroused the dissatisfaction of the people at the same table, one of them jumped up, glared fiercely at Xia Tian, and roared Said: "Who the hell are you calling a short-lived ghost!"
