Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Underground World Hidden From the Light Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Underground World Hidden From the Light [Rabbit doesn’t eat carrots: Do you have fresh arsenic herb?]
This ssage was sent by Lu Sheng several days ago, and it finally shows as read now.
Although the person with a black profile picture and a string of code as a na simply replied with one word.
[#@%￥%#￥: Yes.]
The reply ti was fifteen minutes ago.
And this person is currently online.
…Actually said yes.
Lu Sheng leaned back in her chair and squinted her eyes.
Arsenic herb is a long-extinct poisonous plant.
If the other party claims to have fresh arsenic herb, there are only two possibilities—either this is a scamr purely out to swindle money, or this person is Ning Yu who stole her Essence Stabilizing Pill.
To prove whether it was the forr or the latter was simple enough.
[Rabbit doesn’t eat carrots: I will take however much you have, na your price. But I have one condition, I hope we can trade face-to-face.]
[If you agree to a face-to-face trade, I will double whatever price you ask for and transfer it to you in person when we et.]
Black Market trades are usually illegal goods, so typically, Black Market trades are completed by sellers and buyers communicating online and finishing by mail.
As Lu Sheng suggested a face-to-face trade, it was easily regarded as a police sting operation, and the other party might very well not respond at all.
Or they could agree, but in reality, send soone else to appear on their behalf at the trade location, take the money, give the goods, and consider the deal done.
But Lu Sheng had no better option.
This person’s information on the Black Market was a blank slate, mailing goods would not reveal the seller’s address but would instead expose her own information, better to just et in person.
If the other party disagreed, then she would find another way.
But Lu Sheng didn’t expect this person to reply instantly and agreed very straightforwardly.
[#@%￥%#￥: Sure, let’s trade face-to-face.]
[#@%￥%#￥: Whatever amount of arsenic herb you want, I have it.]
…Agreed so quickly?
And whatever amount of arsenic herb she wants they have?
Leaning against the chair, Lu Sheng habitually touched her right hand’s ring finger, feeling oddly as if the person was sohow looking forward to eting her.
[Rabbit doesn’t eat carrots: Can do. I’m in Jiang City, which city are you in?]
[#@%￥%#￥: Coincidentally, I am also in Jiang City. Let’s et tomorrow night, I will send you the ti and place in a mont.]
One minute later, the person sent her an address.
Lu Sheng glanced at it; the location was a famous high-end mbers-only bar on the outskirts of Jiang City, called THE DEEP.
Reportedly leaning towards a club nature, where the minimum spend for walk-in custors starts at ten thousand, and mbership requires a background check.
[#@%￥%#￥: Tomorrow night at eight, I’ll be waiting for you at THE DEEP.]
[#@%￥%#￥: Once you arrive, just tell the security at the door you are the Rabbit that doesn’t eat carrots, follow them and it’ll be fine.]
After saying this, the person went offline imdiately.
This attitude made Lu Sheng even more suspicious.
Is this person not afraid at all that she might be a police officer?
If it were a normal girl, surely she wouldn’t dare to just casually go to a strange bar to et a Black Market seller of poisonous herbs, but for Lu Sheng, it didn’t matter.
What happened at the piano competition today had drawn imnse admiration from both the audience and online, causing a surge in her Soul Power.
Killing wasn’t beyond her capabilities, rely by a notion, though she would never do such a thing.
Next day.
After Shengjing school ended in the afternoon, Lu Sheng made an excuse to leave alone.
She first went to a restaurant for dinner before taking a taxi to THE DEEP.
However, in the taxi, as soon as she ntioned the destination, the car abruptly stopped.
The driver imdiately turned around, took a deep breath, “Young lady, you said you’re going to THE DEEP?”
Lu Sheng responded, “Yes uncle, what’s the matter?”
The driver directly tried to dissuade Lu Sheng, “Young lady, that bar is not a place for kids.”
“I drive past there at night, often see people covered in blood being carried out on stretchers, who knows what those people inside are doing.”
“I see you’re wearing a school uniform; you must still be in high school, right? Listen to uncle’s advice, you’re young and beautiful, don’t go to such a chaotic place, what if sothing happens?”
Always people covered in blood being carried out?
…That certainly isn’t a normal bar.
The driver was kindly advising, so Lu Sheng replied: “Thank you, uncle, I’m just there to et a friend, I’ll leave right after the eting, it will be fine.”
Hearing Lu Sheng say this, the driver turned his head back and started the car again.
By the ti they arrived at THE DEEP, it had already beco completely dark.
The bar looked like a pure black castle from the outside, shrouded in the night. Indeed, it was high-end and classy, with luxury cars worth over a million parked outside.
From outside the bar, you couldn’t see inside at all, and there were four tall n in suits guarding the door. Lu Sheng had just walked over when she was imdiately stopped.
The man who stopped her first sized her up expressionlessly, then coldly said, “Sorry, we don’t serve minors here.”
Lu Sheng stood there without moving, simply stating: “I’m here to et soone.”
The man frowned slightly: “Who are you looking for?”
Lu Sheng said: “He told to tell you I am the Rabbit that doesn’t eat carrots, and you would let in.”
But Lu Sheng didn’t expect that as soon as she said this, the four doorkeepers all suddenly widened their eyes, looking at her in disbelief.
“…You said, you are the Rabbit that doesn’t eat carrots?”
Lu Sheng didn’t know why they were so shocked, she looked up, “Is there a problem?”
The man took a deep breath, his expression complex as he glanced at Lu Sheng: “…No problem, just follow .”
Walking through the door, the scene inside looked no different from a regular bar, with n and won bustling about, either clinking glasses or swaying on the dance floor.
But intuition told Lu Sheng, this bar was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
Indeed, the man leading her zigzagged through the crowd and eventually took her to a wall fitted with a liquor cabinet.
The liquor cabinet had an array of bottles, and the man skillfully pulled the third bottle from the first row.
With a click—
The wall actually split open from the center, slowly moving to both sides, revealing dimly lit stairs leading underground.
This secret wall was clearly soundproofed, as no noise could be heard from outside when it was closed. Once the door opened, faint sounds of cheering and screaming from downstairs could be heard.
Lu Sheng even slled a faint trace of blood in the air.
A glance down the stairs, which seed bottomless, appeared to signify the danger of this hidden underground world ahead.
The man glanced at Lu Sheng, sympathy in his eyes: “If you’re ready, then follow .”
