Night Hacker

   Chapter 241 Shopping Tour

   "Pandora, I want to ask you a question, what is the origin of your metal mask, and where can I buy it?"

After breakfast, Gu He followed Lorna and Pandora out of the fish pond, and went to the small flea area together. One was for the key program segment, and the other was to hear that there were various goods there, maybe there would be something to gain. .

   Sakai Huaqing originally wanted to follow, but they were still dissuaded.

  Although the small flea area is not as chaotic as the voodoo area, Pandora also said that there is no need to contact the gang this time, but after all, there is a risk, it is better for her to stay in the fish pond as a backup.

   On the way to the alley outside, Gu He asked Pandora.

   He is not as familiar with her as he is with Lorna. Of course, he can't ask Pants Bao casually, but uses a serious tone.

   He naturally had the idea of ​​buying the mask, if Pandora was willing to sell it...

   "This mask was a birthday present from Flynn," Pandora said. "She knew the kids in the basement needed it."

   Gu He was suddenly dumbfounded, come on, it is impossible to buy it.

   No wonder it was so meaningful, and he could sense it, it turned out that this mask carried her and Flynn's happy dreams.

   After asking this question, the thought of using this mask as an activation experiment was also dissipated.

   Baoyou, this is not a mess.

   It's just that he knows about these sleeping wonders, Jane's bicycle, Lao Fan's spatula, Miss Caiyin's samurai sword, which one is not of great significance, not a kind of continuation of life?

  Gu He glanced at the thermos cup in his hand.

   "Basement kid, if you want it, then I'll buy one for you today." Lorna said, "It's your share."

   "I really don't need this..."

When    walked out of the alley, Gu He couldn't help feeling a little nervous. There were people coming and going on the main road of Shouhui Street, and Lorna's black heavy-duty off-road vehicle was parked on the side of the road.

   He already knew what this car meant to her, a den for the homeless, who accompanied her on many life and death adventures.

  Suddenly, while still some distance away, Gu He saw that the off-road vehicle lit up a red light with a high intensity.

   "Haha!" He couldn't help laughing, deer cart, this is Lorna's deer cart.

   "What's the matter?" Lorna looked at him suspiciously, smiling so treacherously.

   "Lorna, I think your off-road vehicle, look, this body, this frame, this headlight, it's really good."

  Gu He excitedly walked to the treasure of the off-road vehicle and stroked its tough steel, as if he could hear its call.

   At present, the sleeping wonders he discovered can be divided into three levels of qualifications.

   First gear: bicycle, katana, spatula

  Second gear: thermos cup, off-road vehicle

  The third gear: fish pond sofa, hollow metal mask

   There seems to be no direct relationship between the level of qualifications and the depth of meaning. This matter is random and takes time to settle.

   In any case, Jian Neng is on the same level as Lao Fan and Miss Caiyin, and it may be that the low-level concept has played a role.

   "If it wasn't for you to say that." Lorna came over and opened the door to get in the car, "I kicked it."

  Gu He was slightly startled and sat in the co-pilot, what did I say?

After   Pandora also got into the car, Lorna started the car and took him back to Itada's apartment. He took out 100,000 in cash from the money deposited in Mr. Ita, and it was just a bargain. It was about 100,000.

  The tripod area is a forbidden place for scientific research, mainly for alchemists and doctors. Although there are many researches and businesses in strange objects, alien species, procedures, personalities, etc., they are doing underground markets, and transactions can only be done well if they are connected.

The    small flea area is different, there is a huge "flea market".

  Lorna drove an off-road vehicle from Kabukicho through the garden area to the small flea area.

   "The program section on Dongtu Street needs to be considered in the long run." Pandora talked about another matter, "Let's wait for the turmoil in the Voodoo District to pass, otherwise it will attract a lot of attention and things will become troublesome."

   Gu He had heard a little earlier that Dongtu Street is a large area with a river and lake in it.

   Bank consortiums, street gangs, sects are very complicated.

   And that program segment is an undeliverable dart object—that is, data transportation and transfer work, which has been in the warehouse of a big dart bureau there, but if they want to get it, it is definitely impossible to take it as soon as possible.

   "I need someone to take me and help me to come forward." Lorna turned the steering wheel and said, "We are already famous, and we won't be left unnoticed after the storm, it's just a little less troublesome."

   "Monk Wuzhen and Daoist Yucheng from the Red Rain Group." Gu He thought about it, "Ask them if they can help?"

   "Let's talk about it, isn't there Lao Fan?" Lorna said again, "Lao Fan, that old boy knows some people on Dongtu Street."

   "Uh, old Fanken got involved in this matter? He had committed a crime on Dongtu Street and couldn't get along, so he ran to Kabukicho with Lao Cai. You know that, I don't think he would pay attention to us."

   "So it's up to you, if you have time to praise him, maybe he will."

  Gu He listened and thought about the possibility, but Lorna laughed and knew she was joking.

   Who is that, Fan Debao, Lao Fan, the fat man, how dare they count on it!

  When the car passed by the main road in the Garden District, Gu He saw a completely different street scene from the Voodoo District.

   The police force is sufficient here, and the Metropolitan Police Department is really working. There are many patrol officers and traffic police officers. On the contrary, there are hardly any ragged figures of homeless people and street rats. Those who come over will be cleaned up.

  There are well-made greenery on both sides of the road, there are houses with gardens, museums, theaters and other places.

   But soon, once outside the boundaries of the Garden District, the world changed again.

   The off-road vehicle began to enter the range of the small flea area, and the noisy human voice came along with the turbid air.

   "Don't you want leather pants." Lorna said, "I buy a lot of my clothes from this area."

  Gu He looked outside through the car window. On both sides of the fairly smooth road, when the phantoms of high-rise buildings began to move away, the car drove more and more into the remote areas of the city, gradually becoming denser buildings painted with colorful paint.

   There are also huge flea markets. Pandora said that under the ground of flea markets, there are often underground buildings.

   "Almighty Buck" Doomsday is under one of the markets.

  Gu He wanted to be a guest, but Pandora said that the doomsday basement usually does not welcome any outsiders to visit.

   After all, a real basement kid like her naively thought that the ground world had been destroyed.

   "Forgive him, he grew up in a wild cave." Lorna didn't miss any opportunity to tease him.

   "I can take you as guests as well, just follow the rules after you go down, if you have time." Pandora said again.

   is like entering a city wall or a flea market, such an off-road vehicle can’t go in.

   Arrived outside the destination "Bron Flea Market", Lorna finally found a seat to park the car, and the three walked to the market.

  Gu He is a little worried about the safety of the off-road vehicle treasure, but after all, the little flea is not a big house. There are some rules to do business here. Every market has a gang cover, and every parking lot is a piece of land.

   They paid the Bron gang for parking, and there was nothing of value in the car.

  Lorna got out of the car and put on an exoskeleton prosthesis in her right hand, carrying a commonly used samurai sword, and moved almost everything away.

   And only Gu He himself knows the information about the strange object of this car.

  The flea market is like a pot of boiled water, and it is boiling everywhere. People from all over the city shuttle through it, walking past small stalls, sometimes walking straight, sometimes stopping to pick up goods.

  The awnings of the stalls are all eye-catching with bright colors, and there are a dazzling array of goods, including clothing, weapons, handicrafts, food, old things... From ordinary people to extraordinary people, you can shop for a day.

   is not only a product of Liuguang City, but also shipped from free states such as Angel City and Newland City.

  All kinds of parallel imports, pirated goods, second-hand goods, or new goods are sold.

   "Living in Streamer City, what's better than a sharp mace?"

   "Complete Chiba-Gibson movies, and her private video."

   "Authentic fried locusts in Angel City, fresh and delicious!"

   "The most authentic Dongtu food, half cheaper than Dongtu Street!"

  The vendors shouted at the passers-by, each exaggerating.

   "The bird of paradise brought over from Luozhou!" shouted a hawker wrapped in an exotic turban, "rare species."

  Gu He couldn't help but stop when he heard the name of Luozhou, and saw some live animals were sold by traders there, among which were a few cages of live birds with bright feathers, "Oh...do you guys see that those are really from Luozhou?"

  Lorna glanced, "I've never been to Luozhou, the bird of paradise or the sparrow, it makes no difference to me."

   "The things in the small flea area are mostly mixed up." Pandora said, "One hundred yuan is one hundred yuan, and one hundred yuan will never buy anything from Luozhou." There was a sadness in her voice.

  Gu He knew about Luozhou, but he learned it from her and Flynn's plan...

   He looked carefully, the so-called bird of paradise was just a painted rooster.

Bulong Market not only has these small stalls, but there is also a connected building in the middle. The ground floor is filled with various shops, like different rooms in a house, and like a maze extending in all directions, selling more advanced things than the outside stalls. .

  The number of tourists in this labyrinth is only a lot more than outside, and most of the time, people are almost crowded.

   As the three of them passed a clothing store selling street-style clothes, Lorna walked in.

The stereo in the store was playing rock music, and she went straight to the hangers of men's and women's leather pants, black, red, and colorful, some shiny leather, some matte, some full leather, and some with accessories. of.

   "Second goods, come and see the leather pants." Lorna picked them up and wanted to buy a few new ones for herself.

  Pandora stood outside the store, while Gu He walked over with his head scratched.

   "How about this one?" Lorna was carrying a pair of matte leather pants with a touch of metal and wiring. Gu He asked: "Do you wear it or I wear it?" She raised the leather pants, the women's legs were wide, "Can you wear them?"

   "Uh, it's pretty good..." Gu He looked at it, "You should look good in it."

   "Then I bought it. Why do I like wearing leather pants?"

  Lorna raised her eyes slightly, and suddenly mentioned the question he asked in the fish pond before:

   "Because I don't like wearing skirts, and leather pants are suitable for fighting and won't mix my feet. I'm too lazy to choose so many, but I don't want to be ugly. Anyway, I have a pair of good legs, and leather pants directly meet the above requirements."

  Gu He listened and thought, this doesn't seem to have any special meaning, doesn't the pants really exist...

   When the two walked out of the clothing store, Lorna bought a few sets of clothes and pants, and also gave him a black leather jacket.

  The skinny leather pants, Gu He felt that they were not suitable for him. Even if a big bag wasn't uncomfortable, it wouldn't look good.

   He brought 100,000 yuan in order to buy some old things with "meaningful meaning and stories".

  The small flea area can really meet his needs.

   After leaving the clothing store, they went to some thrift stores, some things are only valuable if they are old, such as stamps, books, antiques, vinyl records and other things.

"Everything here has a story." In one of the stores, the middle-aged owner swore, "I bought it back with my hands and feet. Look at this umbrella, it has blocked bullets; look at this knife, kill it. over a tiger."

  Gu He listened to the boss blowing for a while, but still didn't sense that any old thing was worth a strange thing.

   "This knife is good." Lorna likes its style, with a blood slot in the middle and a gauntlet like an eagle's wings.

   "Baoyou, I don't want to buy this..." Gu He pulled her over and whispered, "It's just ordinary goods."

   "Of course it's ordinary goods, do you still want to buy strange things here?" Lorna rolled his eyes at him.

   "I really have such a plan." Gu He said.

   But even though the old things here are piled up like mountains, it is not easy to find treasures.

   After walking around like this for a long time, at another store, Gu He finally managed to buy a vinyl record with a faint glow.

   "This was recorded by a girl who dreamed of being a singer. Her singing voice is beautiful, but she only sold a few copies at the time. Later, she didn't become famous, and people don't know where she went. Another person with a broken dream."

  The store owner introduced it this way. This record is not only valuable for the back story, but also for the beautiful songs in it.

   After some haggling, Gu He won it for 5,000 yuan, which is really not cheap.

   "This kind of thing is for the people in the garden area, so that they can sigh with emotion in the middle of the night; if you want to listen to the song of the person whose dream is broken, you can just shout a few times yourself." Lorna felt that he was a pure waste of money.

   But Lorna walked for a while, and suddenly seemed to recall, "For the red-haired Liz? This will be something she likes."

   "Baoyou, this is for my collection. This thing is valuable."

  The destination of the three people's trip was a small shop called "Wheel of Fortune", and they arrived under the leadership of Pandora.

   The person they were looking for was the lady owner of the shop, an astrologer who kept the key program segment number 5. Number 5 corresponds to the fifth house, and astrologer is one of its main functions.

  Gu He and Lorna followed Pandora into the store, and the door was covered with a carpet full of occult symbols.

The entrance hall of the store is also decorated with various mystic colors. Gu He can't tell it, and Lorna doesn't know much. He only recognizes some ancient Egyptian-style murals, as well as the Kabbalah Tree of Life, the Fire Sword Road, and the tower. Cards and the like.

   "My friends, welcome."

  A mature and beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties sat at a divination table covered with black cloth, dressed in a gypsy-like robe, she had already made tea and was drinking, looked at them, smiled and said:

   "Sure enough, a few distinguished guests. Lorna, I know your father, and I also knew you when you were young."
