The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 382 Shadows in the City
"why?"

The peach blossom eyes of the female special agents turned into the dead fish eyes of some male special agents. Oscar stared at the familiar building in front of him and made an extremely sad and angry sound.

“Why is it still the Sailors Club?”

That's right, he was carried away from the beach by two hateful war soul masters, and after walking around in circles, he returned to the Sailors' Club where he had just had lunch.

Gu You put Oscar back on the ground, scratched his head, and said helplessly: "There is no other way. After all, Yifan recommended this place."

Oscar paused in grief and anger, wondering: "Who is Yifan?"

"A new friend I met in the fighting arena."

"Oh."

He was already used to it. Gu You seemed to have a quirk of meeting new friends. He had just met the hotel receptionist at noon, so it was not strange for him to meet another person from the Fighting Soul Arena in the afternoon...

It's very strange, right? How can a soul master lose all his dignity and mingle with ordinary people?

Of course, Oscar was not so nosy as to point fingers at other people's actions; he just felt even more sad and angry.

"Can't you just eat for two?"

"Hey, we are good brothers."

"Brother, what the hell, I finally managed to get a date with this pretty girl for dinner!"

That’s right, Oscar, the gifted food-type support player, now just wants to have fun with his pretty sister.

He finally had the chance to "escape" from the macho hell called Shrek, and with his eloquent tongue he finally managed to hook up with a pretty young girl on the beach. But right after he finished chatting with the first three girls, he was dragged away by two unromantic guys.

He didn't even touch the soft little hands!

"Compensate my beautiful sister! Compensate my beautiful sister!!!"

Oscar cried bitterly. If it were a second dimension, he would probably cry blood and tears.

"Hey, man, calm down."

The cold and ruthless Gu You pushed Oscar away, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, and then put his arm around his neck and said, "You are going to be the world's number one food-type soul master. Women will only slow down your sausage-making speed."

"This speed doesn't matter at all!"

Suddenly, the tightly closed door was pushed open from the inside, and Li Tian came out yawning and said impatiently, "It's so noisy, it's only 8 o'clock in the evening...you again?"

Seeing Gu You and the other two standing at the door, Li Tian's impatience instantly turned into surprise.

"Hey, good evening." Gu You showed a warm smile: "Is there a private room in the store?"

The second time he walked into the Sailors Club, Fang Qi was sharpening his knife to prepare for tonight's work. When he saw Gu You coming in again, he was surprised and asked, "Why are you here again?"

Gu You gave a thumbs up and praised: "I can't help it, everyone says that my brother's cooking is the best."

As the saying goes, flattery never gets worn out, Fang Qi laughed and scolded, "You bastards, you won't get a discount for promoting me."

"A little bit?"

"That's fine, hahaha."

"Hahaha."

The brain waves of the old man and the young man suddenly matched each other, and they looked at each other and laughed, leaving the other three people confused.

After laughing, Fang Qi asked Li Tian to take them to the only "private box" in this place.

Oscar was speechless after taking a look at the curtain still swaying on the door edge.

Ma Hongjun also frowned: "Brother?"

"No problem." Gu You waved his hand nonchalantly, turned his head and looked at Oscar: "You go first."

".OK."

Taking another look at the curtain, out of trust in Gu You's decision, Oscar began to share the information he had collected on the pier and the beach.

"First of all, it's the ships. Just as Teacher Qin Ming said, the ships departing from Seaside City to the Fiery Islands will indeed fly flags of four colors."

When it came to business, Oscar lost his frivolous look. His usually hazy peach blossom eyes were now crystal clear, as shrewd as a ragdoll cat lying on a high place overlooking a mouse.

"The pilot of each ship is a sea soul master. What distinguishes the color of the flag is not strength, but the degree of understanding of the sea conditions."

"Not strength?"

"How well do you know the sea conditions?"

The other two were very curious, but their curiosity was completely different. Ma Hongjun asked, "Could it be that a weaker soul master also have the opportunity to get close to Yanwang Island?"

Oscar nodded and explained: "Yes, although it will be more difficult, it is actually possible."

"Won't the soul beasts in the sea and on the island tear them apart?"

"will not."

Oscar was not the one who answered Ma Hongjun's question. Gu You said in a deep voice, "The division of the soul beast areas in the Endless Sea is completely different from the soul beast forests we usually go to. It can be said to be the most unique among all the life forbidden areas. You can't judge it with common sense."

"Brother is right," Oscar agreed, "The old sailor at the dock said that most sea soul beasts will not stay in one place for a long time. Unless they form a tribe under the leadership of a strong leader, the longest time they stay in a body of water is only three days."

"Great, it means we have no idea what kind of soul beasts we will encounter at sea, right?"

"almost."

Patting Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, Gu You asked, "And then?"

"Then here's some more important information." Oscar looked at the curtain for the third time and lowered his voice and said, "All ships bound for the Fire Islands are now managed by a place called 'Sailor's Home'."

"Sailor's Home? Association?"

There is a Blacksmith Association in Gengxin City, and the Spirit Hall is also considered to be a Soul Master Association. Gu You doesn't find it strange at all that a Sailor Association suddenly popped up in Haibin City.

"Almost," Oscar nodded. "It was established about ten years ago. The slogan or goal at the time was that all sailors would share weal and woe and put aside their past grudges to help each other when encountering an accident."

"The founders at the time believed that the situation in the sea was mysterious and unpredictable. Apart from the roar of the natural disaster, no one knew whether there was a ten-year soul beast or a hundred-thousand-year soul beast under the water."

"Only sailors who work together can survive better on the sea."

Gu You commented: "The idea is good, but it lacks feasibility. There will be no improvement if we continue to insist on it."

Everyone can talk about working together. Even the most heinous criminals know that they need to work together to succeed in committing major crimes.

But people have selfish desires, and selfish desires are barriers that hinder people from communicating. If there is no huge benefit that can break through the barrier, no one will be free to help a stranger.

Being blackmailed is one thing, but what about being stabbed?

Ma Hongjun asked in confusion: "But he said unified management"

"Don't worry, I was just about to say that." Oscar rolled his eyes at Ma Hongjun: "After two years of being tepid, the style of Sailor's House suddenly took a 180-degree turn."

“We attract white and blue flag ships through super high welfare packages, and then defeat other organizations that own red and black flag ships one by one.”

"Soon, the Sailor's House took control of all the ships bound for the Fire Islands from Coastal City and became a veritable giant."

"Then they imposed high commissions on all ships under their control and prohibited ships that were not enthroned in the Sailor's House from sailing to the Fire Islands. Over time, it evolved into what it is today."

The faint sound of cutting vegetables suddenly stopped, and Gu You asked thoughtfully: "From your tone, it seems that you have found out something incredible."

"That's right." Oscar smiled triumphantly. "The Sailor's Home claims to be a self-governing organization for the sailors, and the money received from the share will be used to help sailors who encounter accidents. In fact, all the money was taken away by the controller behind the scenes."

"Who?"

"The largest family in Seaside City, and the current city lord Qi Xiaofeng."

Hearing the sound of chopping vegetables gradually getting stronger, Gu You tapped the table with his fingers: "Evidence."

Oscar replied: "The ship bound for the Fire Islands."

Hearing about the ship, Ma Hongjun frowned and said impatiently: "Please give more details."

There are four types of ships: white flag ship, blue flag ship, red flag ship and black flag ship. God knows what kind of ship Oscar is talking about.

The Riddler only needs Gu You, and any more idiots won’t be enough.

"Twenty red-flag ships that can reach large islands, three black-flag ships that can reach super-large islands, and the captain's last name is Qi."

Oscar said: "If it has nothing to do with Qi Xiaofeng of the Qi family, you can tear my head off and use it as a chamber pot."

"That's not the case"

Unexpectedly, Oscar was so confident. Gu You sighed, "I never knew you were good at gathering intelligence."

"As expected of a Shrek student."

"That is."

Hearing Gu You praising Shrek Academy, Oscar wiped his nose and smiled shyly and proudly.

As the last student of Shrek Academy, after Yu Xiaogang left, he, like Ma Hongjun, received meticulous special education from Flanders Zhao Wuji.

Not only in terms of being a soul master, but also in terms of being a human being.

Compared to Yu Xiaogang's almost non-existent personal moral education, the moral character of Flanders Zhao Wuji and others is simply shining. Although it can't be said to be very good, it is at least there.

The level 70 Zhao Wuji usually has a bad temper and is prone to trouble. As soon as he entered the Star Dou Great Forest, he dared to activate his martial spirit and fight against the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape to cover the rear of his students.

On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang, the most senior level 29 great soul master in history, not only could not defeat the 400-year-old Mandragora Snake, but even after being poisoned, he still held Tang San's hand, as if he was afraid that he would abandon him and run away.

If Yu Xiaogang was replaced by Zhao Wuji, the first thing he would do after confirming that he was poisoned would be to push Tang San forward and use his body to calm the anger of the Mandragora Snake.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar have apparently learned that they can be unfocused at ordinary times but must be able to stand firm at critical moments.

"Brother, what should I do?"

Oscar didn't say it directly, but Ma Hongjun could hear his hidden meaning. If there is no way to establish a relationship with the city lord, it is nonsense to land on large and super large islands.

You can ask Teacher Qin Ming or His Majesty the Poison Douluo for help, it depends on what Gu You chooses.

"Eat, then go back and change clothes."

Gu You put his finger on the corner of his mouth and pushed it upwards, and said in a bright tone: "Don't be sad, smile, we have a big project tonight."

After finishing their first dinner in Seaside City, the three returned to the hotel, changed into decent clothes, and headed straight for the final destination of the day, the Seaside City Auction House.

From a distance, the Haibin City Auction House was not very big, and there were some black spots on the white exterior wall. It was incomparable to the Tiandou City Auction House, which was adorned with gold and gems.

But when he got closer, Gu You found that he was completely wrong.

Ma Hongjun stared at the door of the auction house, holding his head in his hands, and said in disbelief: "Could all the pearls on the door be?"

The gate was covered with dense protrusions, a black shark opened its bloody mouth, and white fish fled in all directions, showing a ruthless deep-sea scene.
"Guest, you are right."

Four welcoming girls stood in front of the gate. Noticing the strange combination in the distance, one of them, who was taller in stature, walked over slowly and introduced in a clear voice: "This gate is called the Deep Sea Gate. It is inlaid with 100,000 white pearls, 2,000 black pearls, and 1,500 gray pearls to finally depict this deep sea scene."

After that, she bowed slightly and asked, "Three guests, is there anything I can help you with?"

Oscar said carelessly: "This is the auction house, we want to go in and take a look."

"?"

The girl was a little stunned. It was the first time she had heard such direct words. Feeling that it was unlikely, she still asked, "Excuse me, three guests. Can I see your bidding qualification certification?"

Oscar was stunned. "Qualification certification for bidding?"

Seeing this, the girl sighed inwardly, but still patiently explained: "In order to prevent malicious bidding, the auction house has set up bidding qualification certification as an entry qualification."

"The qualifications are divided into several levels, and the lowest level requires 10,000 gold soul coins as a deposit. In other words, only those who have paid at least 10,000 gold soul coins to the auction house are eligible to participate in the auction."

"Ten thousand gold soul coins, why don't you go and rob them?!"

Oscar was shocked. With 10,000 gold soul coins, why would he do anything else? He had to go into the auction house to see what was going on.

You know, not all deposits can be taken away. In name it is a deposit, but in reality it is just spending 10,000 gold soul coins to buy an auction ticket.

Even if you have only been there once in your life and haven't bought anything, you won't be able to get a refund.

"Brother, let's go."

Ma Hongjun also advised Gu You to leave, saying that there was no need to waste 10,000 gold soul coins on a tour.

"It's okay, we're here."

One of the four great tolerances in the previous life, Gu You took out a martial arts soul card from his arms and handed it over, "There are exactly 10,000 gold soul coins in it, take it to your supervisor for inspection."

After taking Gu You's martial arts card and checking it, the girl bowed again and made a gesture of invitation: "Okay, guest, please follow me."

Before she finished her words, there was a sudden sound of fierce horse hooves in the distance. The girl's face suddenly changed, and she said to the three people anxiously: "He is coming, the three guests please retreat quickly."

As he said this, he pushed Gu You with his hand, obviously wanting him to step back quickly.

The girl's strength was very small, and in Gu You's eyes it was no more than a mosquito bite. But noticing the panic in the girl's eyes, he took the initiative to step back, and pulled the confused Ma Hongjun and Oscar behind him.

Rumble, rumble~~~
The heavy door slowly opened, and a group of men in gorgeous clothes, who were still arrogant, rushed into the auction hall on horseback, laughing wildly. They also whipped the reception girls on both sides, leaving their skins torn and their old wounds exposed under their skirts.

Only the one in front of Gu You was able to escape because of the distance.

Gu You narrowed his eyes: "Who are they?"

"The city lord's only son Qi Tao and his friends."
