Trafford’s Trading Club

Torre carried a lamp and walked ahead... in the dark and damp corridor under the ancient well.

"...Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao Luo, who are these two?"

He looked at the pair of uncle and girl Wen Duo and Xiao Yao with curiosity and confusion - especially Xiao Yao's eyes were still red, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she had been wronged and cried.

"I am the guardian of the young master's family! Brother Tuo Lei, just call me Lao Wen!"

"Oh... As expected of Mr. Xiao Luo, he is indeed from a wealthy family." Torre nodded. He had long felt that Mr. Xiao Luo was born extraordinary, and there were not many surprises at this time.

"I was captured by them! They want to bully me!"

"Oh... As expected of Mr. Xiao Luo, he has quite a lot of tricks to play." Torre nodded, and then nothing happened... What else?

Of course Xiaoyao was furious.

But Wen Duo took out his hand and stuffed a ginseng of unknown age into her mouth, and then most of her anger was gone.

He has collected a lot of bounties in the past few days, and the rewards are quite generous, which can be said to have blessed his wealthy status.

"By the way, I heard that the rule of [Faceless Ghost] is to change one face from another, right?" Xiao Luo SIR suddenly asked at this time.

Xiao Yao and Wen Duo couldn't help but pricked up their ears at the same time.

Torre shrugged and said: "There is such a rule, but it is just rumors spread by outsiders... Agui saw that such rumors seemed to be helpful to his reputation, so he did not come out to refute the rumors."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise, "But why do people outside hear such rumors?"

Torre pondered: "If you plan to ask Agui to change your face, I can tell you. Anyway, if you want to change your face, he will tell you... But if not, I have no comment. After all, this is not the case." It’s considered his trade secret.”

Wen Duo immediately narrowed his eyes and stared at Torey's face.

Torre only felt his sphincter tightening, and said quickly: "My face belongs to me, and I have never done business with Agui!"

After a while, I walked out of the corridor and heard the sound of water... I saw a large number of water pipes gathering in front of me. The sewers originating from various places in the big city of [Kunlun] seemed to have a gathering point here. The water flow was like waterfalls, crazy. The earth flows into a lower place like an abyss.

The smell was naturally a bit unacceptable, so Torre took out a few masks and asked several people to put them on.

"It turns out there is such a big space underground..." Xiao Yao seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of her... It was a wonder.

"Of course." Torre shrugged and said: "The big city [Kunlun] has a history of almost ten thousand years. It is repaired and repaired. God knows how huge the underground space is? Let alone a stranger breaking in, even if it is a long-resident... People here will also get lost... If you come over here, you will inevitably have some trouble after entering here. "

"Is he a hunter of the earth dwellers?" Wen Duoran said calmly.

"Brother Lao Wen, do you know this too?" Torre was stunned.

Wen Duo said casually: "I spent some time in [Kunlun] decades ago, and had contact with all walks of life... I once had a wife who was involved in the affairs of the local people, so I investigated some information at that time. "

"Eucalyptus?" Torre said subconsciously: "Did Brother Lao Wen also used to be a senior in the law enforcement department?"

"Oh, you guessed wrong." Wen Duo waved his hand and said, "I used to be a defense attorney."

Torre was immediately startled and looked at Wen Duo in disbelief - he couldn't help but feel a little messy compared to the defenders in his memory who were making a lot of money.

"What kind of eucalyptus is it?" Xiao Luo SIR asked seemingly casually.

"That's it." Wen Duo thought for a while and said, "It was an incident of an evil gathering organized by the remnants of the Demon Cult. The defendant was a well-known philanthropist at the time, but he was doing a lot of human trafficking behind the scenes. He also secretly organizes evil conventions and conducts some bloody and cruel sacrificial rituals. This guy's stronghold is down there, and he has colluded with the earth dwellers... He has a special smuggling route, which is through the earth dwellers. The arrangement...if I remember correctly, it seems that the smuggling route back then was around here?"

Torre said in astonishment: "A... philanthropist related to the Demon Cult? Brother Lao Wen, but the [Serial Disappearance of Girls] case that caused a sensation that year? Within one month, thousands of girls disappeared in a row, which shocked the hearts of the people in the Baihu District. A panicked eucalyptus?"

"Looking at your age, this must be from thirty years ago?"

"Oh... When I was not working at [Nantianmen], I would read some old news magazines and so on... This article is quite special, so I remembered it." Torre thought for a while and said: "I remember the last part of this article As a result of the trial, the philanthropist was ultimately sentenced to life in prison, rather than a shock, and aroused a lot of public outrage...could it be said that the person who helped the defendant philanthropist fight this lawsuit was..."

"That's not me." Wen Duo shook his head, "The defendant's defense attorney was my senior brother. In that trial, I only attended as the prosecutor designated by the [Trial Court]... How can I put it, I can only say that my skills are inferior to others. , it’s not an unjust loss.”

Torre said comfortingly: "After all, you are a prisoner for life. Brother Lao Wen, don't blame yourself too much... It's just that your senior brother is really powerful. The [Alliance] has almost zero tolerance for the remnants of the Demon Cult. How can you be so stupid?" Abandon the punishment of annihilation with five thunders that will blow your soul away?"

"Otherwise?" Wen Duo shrugged and said, "[The world's best litigator] Fang Tangjing, do you think you are calling for nothing?"

"It turns out to be that one!" Torre suddenly took a breath and said with a sigh on his face: "No wonder you said you didn't lose unfairly."

"Of course!" Wen Duo gave a thumbs up and said: "After all, my senior brother, if he is not powerful, doesn't it make me look weak?"

——Whether a junior brother is strong or not has nothing to do with whether a senior brother is powerful or not?

But seeing that Brother Lao Wen didn't seem to hold any grudge for what happened back then, but instead showed a hint of respect when talking about this senior brother... Torre was a little confused.

However, Torre's expression suddenly changed, [The world's best litigator]... Oh, it's [The world's best defender] Fang Tangjing, who is a disciple of [Holy Emperor] Gaotao, who is the source of all laws, that is, , is this Old Wen brother actually the same? !

"It seems we have arrived." Xiao Luo SIR said suddenly at this time.

Torre was startled, and quickly woke up. He saw a figure sitting on a platform in the middle of the cliff ahead...seemingly looking towards a few people.

Torre quickly waved, "Agui!"

…

This is indeed a corner of the underground space that is difficult to find... Without Torre's guidance, Mou Ran would have had no choice but to rely on luck.

When she saw the legendary black businessman [Faceless Ghost], Xiaoyao couldn't help but be stunned - because she had never thought that this black businessman, who was rumored to be extremely scary, turned out to be... a half-grown child!

At most, it looks like sixteen or seventeen...fourteen or five?

"Are you really the [Faceless Ghost]?"

Xiaoyao exclaimed.

Wearing an unusually large robe, the sleeves are completely beyond the length of the handwriting, reading glasses and small buck teeth... [The Faceless Ghost] is currently serving tea to several people who are visiting.

Surprisingly, in this dark, humid, and smelly underground space, the home of [The Faceless Ghost] is actually quite bright and warm... A large number of indoor flowers and plants are planted in the house, and the decoration is like something from a fairy tale. House-like.

"Agui was born in [Ghost Market], and he was qualified to open his own stall when he was ten years old." Torre chuckled at this time and said: "Don't underestimate him because of his young age. he!"

When he said these complimentary words, he saw [Faceless Ghost] suddenly lowered his head, pulled the corner of Tore's clothes begging, then hid behind Tore, came close to his ear, and whispered softly What are you talking about.

For people with cultivation, this little sound is not a hindrance... What Wen Duo is curious about is just the behavior of this [faceless ghost] - damn, this child looks quite shy... What's going on? What's going on?

"Agui is actually quite introverted." Torre nodded and explained: "And he's not good at talking to strangers. If you have anything, just ask."

Xiao Luo SIR glanced at Wen Duo.

Wen Duo directly took out a human skin mask and placed it on the table, "Did you make this mask?"

I saw [Faceless Ghost] sticking his head out from behind Torre. After taking a few glances, he nodded silently.

"Who asked you to make this mask?"

[Faceless Ghost] shook his head, and then whispered a few words in Torre's ear, and Torre said: "He said this is the customer's personal information and he cannot disclose it casually."

"Make a price?" Wen Duo was wealthy.

Torre shook his head and said: "He said it's not about money, it's about principles... But he is very curious as to why this mask is in your hands."

Wen Duo pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "It seems that the rumors from the outside world are just exaggerated. They say that changing one's face here is equivalent to changing one's life. I think it's nothing more than that."

Before [Faceless Ghost] could react, Torre was already surprised and said: "Brother Wen, why did you say this?"

Wen Duo shrugged and said: "Someone put on this mask, and my young master saw through the flaw at a glance, and I was only a few seconds slow... Do you think this is not false propaganda?"

"That's not the case!" I heard [Faceless Ghost] suddenly speak, his voice a little shrill.

Then, [Faceless Ghost] suddenly shrank back behind Torre, and began to whisper something to Torre... This time the words were a bit long.

Torre nodded several times before looking at Xiao Luo SIR and said: "Sir Xiao Luo, Agui said, if you can see the flaws, it's because this face has been scrapped."

"scrapped?"

"It's like this." Torre explained: "Agui's face change is not simply to make a mask, but to use a special technique to directly change his face... But once the replaced face is peeled off again, , although it is also an exquisite human skin mask, it has lost its efficacy. If others wear it, it cannot avoid the monk's spiritual inspection, but it is still difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye."

"Well...other people won't use their spiritual thoughts to check a person's face if they don't have any special reasons." Wen Duo glanced at Xiao Yao, then said thoughtfully: "In other words, this mask has never been changed. Was it peeled off the person’s face?”

[Faceless Ghost] simply shook his head this time, expressing his ignorance... He suddenly reached out his hand, quickly picked up the mask and inspected it carefully... and even brought it to his nose to smell it.

Wait quietly.

After a while, Torre said: "Agui said that this face should have been peeled off while he was still alive, and the peeling method was quite skillful, without damaging any part of the mask. Moreover, After this mask was peeled off, it was used by two people."

"Can you tell how many people have used it?" Wen Duo was really surprised.

"Agui said that there are two different kinds of oils left on the mask." Torre repeated quickly: "Different people have different facial oils secreted on their faces. Newer oils have a more delicate and fresh taste. , so the user should be relatively young, and the normal facial maintenance should be pretty good..."

I saw Xiaoyao quietly puffing up her flat chest at this time.

"...But the older grease has a strange smell. He doesn't know what it is, but it should be because the face was originally rotten, so there are still some abscesses... and the like."

"Stop talking..." Xiaoyao squatted directly on the ground at this time, almost spitting out the ginseng root she had chewed in... This thing stuck to her face every day!

Wen Duo, however, planned to ignore it and just mused: "A person with a rotten face peeled off his face alive? What about the person whose face was peeled off? Why did this guy with a rotten face have to be thrown away and peeled off with great difficulty? Where is the face that came out? This matter... seems to be getting more complicated and confusing."

"There is one more thing." Xiao Luo SIR suddenly mentioned.

Wen Duo nodded, "It's about the reward order... I'm looking for someone named [Zhao Rong]. Why is this reward offered? Is she related to this matter?"

"It would be nice if we met this [Zhao Rong]." Xiao Luo SIR said calmly.

"See?" Wen Duo was startled, then his heart moved, and he suddenly looked at Xiaoyao who was still squatting on the ground retching, "Young master, you mean..."

Xiao Yao suddenly felt uneasy and subconsciously raised her head, "You... what are you going to do?"

"Big radish...oh, do you want big ginseng root? It's fifteen hundred years old!"

"want!"

Acting on instinct and without thinking, the girl blurted out.

Then Wen Duo raised his fist and without saying a word, he hit the girl on the head, knocking Xiao Yao unconscious.

Torre was shocked when he saw this, "Brother Lao Wen, what are you doing... If you don't want it, can you give it to me? This is such a waste!"

"Um?"

"...My consciousness is that I will take care of it for you." Torre smiled coquettishly.

Wen Duo looked at the [Faceless Ghost] at this time, and then Xiaoyao, who had been unconscious on the ground, said directly: "Is there any way to temporarily attach this mask to her face to make her look flawless? ? What I mean is, it’s not the kind of face-changing you usually do for people, but temporary... You should have something to do, right?"

[Faceless Ghost] was stunned for a moment.

Wen Duo directly took out a big box from the storage props and opened it. It was filled with fairy stones, rare materials, and rare herbs. "It's done. You can pick three of them from here."

"I promised!" Torre screamed without saying a word, and then directly covered [Faceless Ghost]'s mouth, "I mean, I promised you for him, Brother Lao Wen! You are me father!"

[Faceless Ghost] struggled for a few times, but couldn't get away, and finally seemed to have softened... and stopped struggling.

…

"Welcome next time!" Torre waved his hand enthusiastically at this time, "Master Xiao Luo, Agui said that this can only last for three days at most. When the time is up, the skin will peel off naturally and be completely scrapped."

Xiaoluo SIR glanced at the girl Xiaoyao who had transformed into [Dragon Po] again, and suddenly said: "This is a good skill."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at [Faceless Ghost], thought for a while and said: "It's a waste to keep this kind of craftsmanship in a place like this. Have you considered where you can use it better?"

[Faceless Ghost] was still hiding behind Torre, but now he poked his head out with a look of confusion.

Xiao Luo SIR smiled slightly and said: "I have a doctor friend who recently opened a new clinic. With your skills, maybe we can open another [medical beauty] project in the clinic."

"This..." Torre waited for [Faceless Ghost]'s whisper before nodding: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Luo, Agui said thank you for your kindness, but he likes this place quite a lot. , I don’t plan to leave for the time being...but can you give me the contact information of the clinic? He will consider it carefully."

I saw [Faceless Ghost] tugging hard on the corner of Tore's clothes at this time, with a nervous look on his face...Obviously, the second half of what he said was not his intention, but Tore's own decision.

"Wen Duo."

Then Wenduo took out a business card and handed it to Torre, "Just follow this address and look for it."
