Reborn: The Queen Returns

After getting off the bus, I walked for a long time in the direction pointed by passers-by. Finally, a dimly lit alley appeared in my sight.

The roadside I saw on the bus not long ago was still the bustling urban landscape of Q City, and it was the peak time for people to flow after get off work and school. There were many pedestrians on the road, and it was very lively.

But the further you go here, the fewer pedestrians are on the road and the fewer buildings. Most of them are dilapidated and dark, and their crumbling appearance makes people feel chilly.

There seemed to be a black aura in the air.

This is the slum area of ​​City Q. Rumor has it that although it is dilapidated, because it belongs to a certain mysterious force, even the police dare not approach easily. As a result, it has gradually become the worst public security area in City Q, with the largest number of red light districts and the most chaotic flow of people.

The place.

At the same time, it is also the main trading place for black market transactions.

Xia Ruoxuan was not stupid, so she would not sell a pure gold pen that she bought at a huge price without any receipt, unless she was caught as a thief.

The best way is naturally a place like the black market, which only recognizes money but not people. She was able to find this thanks to the red panda that Bai Lulu raised last year.

I heard Bai Lulu say that the red panda was a rare thing that she bought from the black market for a lot of money. But after a few months of raising it, it actually grew into the shape of a dog. For this reason, Bai Lulu was furious and wanted to settle the score with the black market boss. It's a pity.

The building has been deserted for a long time and is impossible to find.

But Xia Ruoxuan accidentally learned the specific location of the black market.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Xia Ruoxuan hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and walked in.

The alley is very narrow, but very long. There are many people gathered in it, most of them dressed strangely. From time to time, there are unruly young people whistling to Xia Ruoxuan.

Xia Ruoxuan pretended not to see or hear. She tried her best not to look away and moved forward quickly.

Although she had been fully mentally prepared before, it was her first time to come to a place like this, and her nervous palms began to sweat. She just hoped that she could get things done quickly and never step foot here again.

Finally, when we reached the end, our sight suddenly opened up.

To say it is open is just in contrast to the narrow alleys. In front of us is a small open space surrounded by high-rise buildings, where many people are setting up stalls.

Although the place is not big and the stalls are scattered in a random pattern with no fixed layout, there is a dazzling array of things, and the stall owners have various skin colors, which makes them look a bit exotic.

Xia Ruoxuan took a cursory look and found that she had never seen most of the things before, let alone their specific uses. However, these had nothing to do with her and she didn't pay much attention to them.

Finally, Xia Ruoxuan's attention stopped at a small stall in the corner. A thin old Caucasian man sat there with his eyes closed and meditating. There were some weird-shaped pottery and gold and silverware on the linen in front of him.

"Um, hello..." He stretched out his hand tentatively and waved it in front of the old man's closed eyes. Unexpectedly, the other person suddenly opened his eyes. The sunken eye sockets and somewhat muddy gray-blue eyes revealed a sharp and shrewd light.

Xia Ruoxuan was startled and quickly retracted her palm, scratching her head in embarrassment. The old man's eyes made her feel uncomfortable.

"Buying something?" The old man said in a hoarse voice. He spoke very good Chinese without any retroflex. If you didn't look at his appearance, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was a foreigner.

"Uh..." Xia Ruoxuan paused, feeling a little confused.

The atmosphere in this black market is much more uncomfortable than expected. It is indeed a bit reckless to come here alone.

But now that I'm here...forget it, let's go for it!

Xia Ruoxuan took a deep breath, took out something wrapped in velvet from her pocket, opened it, and handed it over under the unseemly gaze of the old man.
