The Ninth Secret Bureau

v4 Chapter 21: Knife

At the front desk of the trading floor, Chen Xian found the staff responsible for the sale of the trade fair goods.

It was an abnormal life in the form of a male human, about two meters or three meters tall, as thin as a bamboo pole, as if blown down by the wind, with a shriveled face like dim drawing paper, and dense wrinkles that made people look a little uncomfortable. .

"Hello, please show me the evil weapon in Booth 421. I want to buy it."

The thin and tall staff was still busy in front of the computer. Hearing Chen Xian's voice, it raised its head and looked at it. When it saw who was standing in front of the counter, the expressionless face instantly became Get nervous.

"You...Hello!" The staff hurriedly got up, speaking in a flustered tone, "You are talking about the evil weapon of Booth 421, right?! I'll take it and show it to you now!!"

"Excuse me, thank you." Chen Xian nodded, with a polite smile on his face.

Chen Xian knew that his reputation was not small, especially after the Jiuling Mountain incident, both foreigners and abnormal beings became extremely jealous of him, but there was one thing he didn't know, maybe he never realized it. ...The staff in Yin City were afraid of him a long time ago, and it can even be said that they are more afraid of him than ordinary anomalous beings.

Everyone in Yin City knows Master.

Of course, it can also be said that nearly 90% of the anomalous lives in the country know the existence of "Master". For the predecessors who can shock the heroes with hands and eyes, these anomalous lives are respected and afraid of him, but there is one thing that cannot be denied, Ge Cibi Since most of the "predecessors" feel much more cordial, perhaps this is also related to Ge Ci's character.

Hit as you say hit, or assault if you scold.

Alone has a wicked aura that can't be concealed, but he also has a mentality that many older generations don't, at least he will not always hold the air to make people feel that he is so high and unattainable.

From a certain point of view, the old liar Ge Ci is very down-to-earth, and it seems that the scent of fireworks on him can not be eliminated even if the years pass. The approachability is also the impression that many Yin City employees have of him...but there is One point, no matter how unpretentious the old liar is to deal with others, he will always keep a certain distance from others, even with his closest subordinates.

Of course, this kind of alienation does not make life disgusting, because that feeling is very abstract, not because the old liar Ge Ci will alienate others in everything, like... as if no one can get in. In his heart, there is always an invisible curtain separated from him.

The life of the old liar is full of joy. It seems that he can spend every day with laughter and swearing year after year, but those who often see him often feel a strange and complicated thing from him. Emotions, like some kind of depression that is difficult to describe in words... It seems that he is not as happy as outsiders see him.

Over time, more and more people are familiar with the "Master" in Yin City, and more and more people know that the old liar is actually quite lonely. He is not a living human, but he has the same characteristics as ordinary humans. His life level should not have these "weak" emotions, but... the kind of desolation and loneliness like a widowed old man really makes his subordinates feel unspeakable.

This emotion hidden under Ge Ci's smiling face will only disappear when someone appears, and it disappears completely as if it had never appeared before.

The person who can influence Ge Ci's mood... is Chen Xian.

Although the internal members of Yin City, like other abnormal beings, have instinctive jealousy and vigilance towards a stranger like Chen Xian, but the reaction of the old liar Ge Ci made them feel another kind of affection towards Chen Xian, like this. A target who should be sincerely grateful, sometimes Chen Xian does not come to Yin City for ten and a half months, they will pray in their hearts that Chen Xian will come quickly...

"Hello! This is the evil weapon of Booth 421! A stranger in the rainy night!"

The thin and tall staff quickly took the long umbrella, but when it took the umbrella, it was not bare-handed. Instead, it wore a pair of rubber gloves with many symbols printed on it. It seemed that they were temporarily blocked by this kind of gloves. The influence of evil weapons on them.

Chen Xian thanked him, then took the long umbrella and took a closer look.

Umbrella handle and umbrella bones seem to be integrated. The whole body is made of some unknown wood. It feels warm and moist like a jade image that has been carefully polished and polished by the producer. It can also reflect a clear figure in the light.

But soon, Chen Xian discovered the difference in this long umbrella.

Its ribs are actually different from ordinary umbrellas. They are as wide as a thumb. A faint black line can be seen about fifteen centimeters up from the handle of the umbrella. You can also feel a sense of unevenness when you touch it carefully.

It seems that the black line is concave, like a hidden dividing line.

"Mr. Chen, this is actually a knife." The staff member prompted in a low voice.

"Knife?"

Chen Xian was taken aback, and realized something in an instant, and then he held the handle of the umbrella with his hand and rotated it slightly, only to feel that the handle and the ribs were separated, and the black line was the boundary between them.

There seems to be some kind of gravitational pull between the umbrella bone and the umbrella handle, as if the two sections are equipped with magnets. The strange adsorption makes Chen Xian more and more curious. I saw him holding the umbrella handle and slowly pulling it out. ——

Accompanied by the cold and loud sound of unsheathing, the blade that followed the umbrella handle also instantly came into Chen Xian's eyes.

The scarlet blade is covered with cloud-like black markings. The blade is one meter long but only as wide as an index finger, and the thickness is about the same as ordinary chopsticks. The whole looks like a slender steel sheet.

Insufficient flexibility, more than rigidity, and when you gently fiddle with the blade, you can hear the buzzing of metal tremors.

"What kind of metal is this made of?" Chen Xian played with this umbrella knife, and it was rare for a child to get a toy-like excitement in his eyes.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of this knife is very exquisite. It is like a work of art in the hand. Every detail of the knife body and umbrella handle is exquisite to the extreme. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as natural.

If the first impression of a meat saw knife is violent and strangely hideous, then the first impression left by this umbrella knife to Chen Xian is a certain kind of quiet elegance, which can be felt from the bones without moving. The nobility that came out was like an ancient gentleman walking in a rainy night, even if the heavy rain was raging and the wind was raging, it would not affect his unhurried steps in the slightest.

"The specific production materials...we are not sure yet." The staff returned to their position and searched the record of the umbrella knife on the computer proficiently. "Judging from the file information, this The evil weapon should have been brought back to China by the master from Liverpool, but he gave us very little information. He only mentioned that the quality of the knife is very good, and the blade is sharp enough to cut gold and jade."

"That's it..." Chen Xian frowned, retracted the umbrella knife into the scabbard, held it in his hand and played with it for a while before returning it to the staff, "Is this the upset price?"

"Yes, it's a low price. The discounted price is 1,800 yuan." The staff nodded and took the long umbrella carefully.

"How much discount did you give it?" Chen Xian asked painfully.

The staff member glanced at the computer screen, and then said: "Two discounts."

"Two percent off...two percent off?" Chen Xian's eyes lit up, and the painful feeling was instantly washed away by the words "two percent off". "In addition to the discounted price, it also Are there other benefits? For example, small gifts or something?"

"...No." The staff twitched. It was also the first time someone met someone who wanted a small gift at a trade fair, but then I thought that Chen Xian was not someone else. His identity was Yin City is still very special, so he said, "We can provide you with tool maintenance services for free."

"How many years?" Chen Xian asked meticulously.

"Lifetime," the staff member replied.

After getting this answer, Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became somewhat satisfied.

"If you think the price is expensive, I can help you figure out a solution, after all, the master is over there..."

"No need." Chen Xian interrupted the staff, the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, "Although I like cheap things, I don't like to take advantage of them often... I can also afford it at this price. Just take care of your friends’ business."

With that, Chen Xian took out the bank card distributed by the Secret Bureau from his wallet and handed it to the staff.

"I haven't had time to go to the bank to exchange twin coins, can you please help me get it?"

"No problem, no problem! Leave this to me!"

The staff hurriedly said, then glanced at the long umbrella in his hand and asked: "Do you need me to wrap it up for you?"

"Bag, just follow the packaging standard for birthday gifts, remember to tie me a nice bow on it."

"Okay! Wait a minute! I'll go now!"

About five or six minutes later, the staff came back with the wrapped long umbrella and bank card. After respectfully handing them to Chen Xian, they issued a series of purchase certificates for evil weapons according to the rules, etc. ......

When Chen Xian returned to the crowd with a long umbrella in a gift box, they had almost visited the market.

"Boss, you are back!" Lu Yisheng said excitedly, his eyes sparkling, "I just found an object that suits my heart! The price is not too expensive! I am going to buy it!"

"Buy, the discount is quite big, and now I don't suffer a loss when I buy it."

As Chen Xian talked and walked, he hid the long gift box behind him.

When he walked to Mr. Skull, Chen Xian stopped, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Chen Xian, what is behind you?" Mr. Skull was much taller than Chen Xian, so he saw the gift box hidden behind him at a glance.

Chen Xian couldn't help being a little bit disappointed when he saw it and found this "carefully prepared" surprise, because he felt that he had hidden well enough.

Chen Xian took the gift box in front of him helplessly, raised his hand and handed it to Mr. Skull.

"What?" Mr. Skull asked curiously. After receiving the gift box, he was not eager to open it. Instead, he looked at the paper packaging box with interest, "Eat?"

Chen Xian sighed, nodded and said.

"Yes, what I eat is all the oranges I bought for you."
