Chapter 446 Traveling Merchant
"D3... D3..."

Gu Tao was muttering, searching in front of rows of small warehouses, and finally found this place marked D3 standard idle warehouse in an inconspicuous place. Gu Tao opened the warehouse door and walked in. Although there were lights inside, But it was still very dim, and as soon as he entered, Gu Tao was overwhelmed by the smell inside. He hurried out and turned on the air filter before going in again.

As soon as he entered, Gu Tao's scalp was numb, and everything inside had a strange aura, including the human skin mask with hair, the withered arms, the cat mummy, and the baby sealed in pine resin. , it can be said that all weird things can be found in this warehouse.

Undoubtedly, what is stored in this D3 area is a bunch of witchcraft props that are abandoned but no one is willing to buy. Some of these things are either too ugly or too evil, so no one cares about them for a long time, Gu Tao Picking up a gemstone that looks crystal clear, but when you pick it up, there is actually a living eye inside. The eye is brownish red, which is quite beautiful, but... the overall look is really weird.

"Hmm..." Gu Tao put the eye gemstone back to its original place, and then continued to search.

In the end, he found a mahogany box in a dark place with mildew spots on the outside. He picked up the box and took a look, then opened the box after taking a full set of protective measures.As soon as he opened it, a pulsating silver heart appeared in front of his eyes, and that heart seemed to sense Gu Tao's existence, and densely packed hair-like soft hairs protruded from the small hole on the top. Tentacles, these tentacles stretched slowly, and then suddenly accelerated to touch Gu Tao's hand. They seemed to be burrowing in desperately, but because Gu Tao's gloves were protective, these tentacles didn't go in deep, but Gu Tao did. He could clearly feel the piercing sensation, which made his skin stand upright, and he suddenly understood why the Cthulhu No. [-] said not to touch it directly with his hands.

After closing the box and putting the box in the storage bag, he walked out of the D3 warehouse: "Come here a few people, here are some discoveries."

Soon, two people ran over, and after they entered D3, their expressions were even more exaggerated than Gu Tao's. They put on their masks and started calling for reinforcements. After a while, the entrance of the D3 warehouse was full of people.

The things in other warehouses are actually to be returned to the owner. They just counted to see if there are any illegal or prohibited items, but the things in this D3, let alone returned, will be investigated for anyone who dares to claim them, because these things It's all against the law!

A large number of people began to gather here to sort out the D3 warehouse, and soon all kinds of weird things were moved out, including 140 Eastern witchcraft props, 270 Western witchcraft props, and There were more than [-] pieces of human body products and voodoo toys that could not be distinguished. They were spread out on the ground and exuded an evil aura. The entire area was also put on a first-level alert.

"Shocking, shocking." The person in charge of recording said to Gu Tao while recording: "Instructor Gu, just judging from the things that have been sorted out now, there are more than [-] people lying here... There are also various other animals that exceed A thousand lives."

Gu Tao stood there with his hands behind his back, his face livid: "Check the records of St. Paul for me, and find out the source and ownership of these things! No matter how many years, the source must be found out!"

"Understood!" The clerk nodded vigorously: "Instructor Gu, these things actually still have magic power attached to them. If they get lost, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Well." Gu Tao frowned again: "Destroy all of them, and then report to Jingyuan, let her participate in the drafting of a global agreement prohibiting the circulation of human products and voodoo toys, and notify Xin Liuzi, let She allocated part of her manpower to concentrate on searching for recently active cult organizations, and I shoveled all of them."

"clear."

Walking out of the storage area, Gu Tao can finally take a breath of fresh air. Human body products have been strictly prohibited in China. As long as they are found, it is a felony, but this is not the case in other countries. The more backward the country, these things More and more, there are a large number of voodoo toys in Africa, Southeast Asia, Northeast Europe, South America, the Middle East, etc., and even Gu Tao watched some very disgusting videos on the dark web some time ago, including voodoo toys The production of these things, but these things have been around for some years, and the source is unreliable, so he didn't check it carefully, but now he found so many under his nose, it might be impossible for him not to check.

"Hello, sir." A young man suddenly ran to Gu Tao's side from behind: "I am from the Hong Kong Security Bureau, and I have been sent to assist you in your work."

Gu Tao glanced at him: "How old is this year?"

"Sir, 24, graduated from the University of Hong Kong! Graduated last year."

"You're still young." Gu Tao took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can: "Is there any good tea restaurant here?"

"Ah?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "Sir, there is a shop not far in front. The pineapple buns are very famous, and the milk tea is also very good. Both my girlfriend and I like to go there!"

"Let's go, go get something to eat, I've been hungry all day." Gu Tao took off his police uniform and put on a vest: "It's really hot here."

I wandered around and came to a tea restaurant. The decoration here is not bad. There is a blackboard at the door, which says all kinds of today's specials and signature sweet water. After opening the door, the style inside is very typical Hong Kong style, and there are many celebrities. The photos of him are hung on the wall, and some very famous stars have taken pictures here, and the boss has changed from a fat old man to a middle-aged man and then to a handsome young man. It seems to be passed down through three generations. The time-honored brand has come down.

"One serving of papaya syrup, two servings of pineapple buns, one serving of beef rice, and two servings of ginger-flavored milk tea." The young policeman ordered food skillfully: "Sir, this is relatively famous here, please forgive my presumptuous assertion."

"Don't be too nervous." Gu Tao waved his hand: "Add another flower sausage."

"Experts..." The young policeman stroked his head, "It was my class who got the ax."

At this time, the boss brought a pot of iced lemonade and some delicious snacks. Gu Tao thanked him, and then poured himself a glass of ice water: "What's your name?"

"Yang Jiawei."

"Putonghua is good."

"My mother is from Hebei." Yang Jiawei said with a smile: "She has the final say at home, and my father dare not speak Cantonese."

Gu Tao didn't say anything, just smiled, and when the food came, he buried his head and started eating. Halfway through the meal, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yang Jiawei: "Did your chief tell you what I do?"

"Said... He also asked me not to reveal your identity." Yang Jiawei was still a little nervous, and he didn't even dare to look directly into Gu Tao's eyes: "Then what exactly are you here for?"

"I will help you coordinate any troubles encountered during the handling of the case." Yang Jiawei said seriously: "Because I am worried that some people here will conflict with you."

"understood."

In fact, the meaning is obvious.Hong Kong, a place with one country, two systems, is still a little different from the mainland. Many wealthy people here have intertwined forces. In the process of investigating such cases, it is impossible not to come into contact with local forces. If a conflict occurs, What does Gu Tao care about?As a big boss who came from the mainland, it is natural for him to poke a hole in the sky. But Yang Jiawei's commander may be in trouble. On the one hand, he has offended the big bosses from the central government, and on the other hand, he has offended the local wealthy families. That's really like dying without knowing how.

"Okay, then I will leave some coordination work to you." Gu Tao is not the kind of person who is particularly unreasonable. He wrote a few names on the paper while eating: "This A few people, you go and check, they are local shareholders of Sao Paulo, in fact, they are just normal inquiries, there is no problem. Oh, you should focus on checking this person. "

Gu Tao drew several circles on a name: "Can I trust you?"

Yang Jiawei suddenly raised his head, and when he saw Gu Tao's eyes, he subconsciously shrank back, and then nodded loudly and forcefully: "Okay."

"This person focuses on investigation." Gu Tao smiled: "If there is any danger, please tell me immediately."

"Yes, sir."

At this time, Gu Tao was also full, and stood up: "You treat me to this meal."

Yang Jiawei laughed: "Okay."

When Yang Jiawei checked out and went out, there was no sign of Gu Tao. He turned around and still didn't see Gu Tao, so he picked up the list in his hand and looked at it carefully, then crushed the note and stuffed it into a bag on the side of the road. In the trash can, go straight away in the other direction.
-
"Yes, Pedestrian Merchant."

Gu Tao sat across from Cthulhu No. [-], eating his peanuts and drinking his beer, with the silver heart on the table.

"I've managed to do business all over my head." Gu Tao said with a smile, "If it wasn't for that bitch, I wouldn't have known you were so special."

"If you want to live, of course you have to take some risks if you want to live a good life." Cthulhu No. [-] accepted Silver Heart in disapproval: "And I didn't violate the regulations of both sides, and I didn't sell things from there to here, come here Everything that can be used here.”

"What's going on with the Nightmare Queen?" Gu Tao raised his eyebrows: "You have good taste."

"Don't talk nonsense." Evil God No. 700 sighed: "The Nightmare Queen is an existence on my level. I have spent [-] years trying to tame her, but I have failed. I also want to ask you, how did you release her? ? Do you know how much effort I put into sealing her in the abyss?"

Gu Tao chuckled: "This is my little secret. Don't ask. I won't tell you if you ask."

"Okay, but this time it was my mistake, and the Hellfire Spear is also given to you." Cthulhu No. [-] said generously: "But I can't be a traveling merchant now."

"why?"

"Because I tricked the Queen of Nightmare away, I'm wanted over there." Cthulhu No. [-] laughed: "When you summoned me Queen of Nightmare, my heart was broken, it was my most precious collect."

"Then." Gu Tao looked at Cthulhu No. [-]: "I want to do business with you."

"Isn't it now?"

Gu Tao shook his head: "It's bigger."

Having said that, Cthulhu No. [-] immediately became interested, and he sat up straight: "What do you want?"

"You know my identity, right?"

"I know." Cthulhu No. [-] nodded: "Technology for secret method?"

"To add, it's a technology product for a secret method product." Gu Tao looked at Cthulhu No. [-] with piercing eyes: "But you said that you are wanted now, so I have no choice but to find another traveler and say goodbye."

"and many more!"

Cthulhu No. [-] immediately stood up and pressed Gu Tao's arm: "It's easy to discuss."

"Huh? Aren't you wanted?"

"As long as you give enough money, I dare to sell you the rope that hanged me."

"What are you going to do?" Gu Tao sat down again: "I don't want to get into trouble."

"A successful middleman is not allowed to contact offline, in any way." Cthulhu No. [-] said proudly: "Leave it to me, the ugly words are up front, the things you give are not good, so don't blame me for suppressing you." price."

Without saying a word of nonsense, Gu Tao slapped the antimatter crystal on the table.

Cthulhu No. [-] picked up the crystal, took out a retro monocle and put it on the glasses, and observed it carefully.

Gu Tao smiled and said nothing, just observe, let him observe.This is an antimatter crystal rather than a waste crystal. The thing inside is three grams of antimatter, and the energy is about nine Hiroshima atomic bombs. More importantly, it is not like the hadron collision antimatter in nature, which is unstable and manic. The antimatter inside is released slowly, like a battery. Although Gu Tao doesn’t know what the mountain and sea world needs, the energy is universal. This small thing is a rare treasure anywhere.

This antimatter slow-release technology is one of Centaur's core technologies, and it is impossible for a competitor to monopolize the product, because according to the current technology of the earth, although humans can already synthesize antimatter, there is still a long way to go from synthesis to perfect utilization. It takes more than 1000 years, and the process from perfect utilization to curing and softness is another 1000 years, so Gu Tao is not worried at all.

"Wow." Evil God No. [-] took off his glasses: "Even the most advanced dragon crystal cannot contain such a huge power. How much more do you have?"

"Very few." Gu Tao thought for a while: "No more than a hundred grams."

"It's all mine."

"Okay." Gu Tao laughed: "Let's see what you can get me in exchange."

After some intrigue, Gu Tao left satisfied, and he was also secretly amused. This is probably the awesomeness of intellectual property rights. Even if someone like Cthulhu No. [-] can't recognize this thing, Gu Tao naturally said as much as he wanted , but in fact... Antimatter energy is a nearly infinite energy source, let alone a hundred grams, as long as the protium, deuterium and tritium do not disappear, a hundred tons will be fine.

It’s just that the curing material is a bit expensive. A bottle of curing material costs one yuan from Wahaha, and two yuan from Nongfu Spring. Of course, it’s not impossible to use cola, but the color is not very good-looking. Gu Tao prefers to use orange juice. It looks very beautiful and has a fragrance.
