Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 204 Esco

(Because I was playing Chong'er in the afternoon, Xu Sheng from Shangjiajie took out the ancient ingot knife and asked me if I had enough. The update was late today, so I climbed it by myself)
Adele recalled carefully and found that she really had no memory of Mr. Fool's sixth angel.

"You can even forget the holy scriptures... I told you not to use that bracelet all the time, you can't have forgotten this too, right?"

Venata sighed helplessly, "Let's go, let's go back first."

"Wait a minute, that person isn't Wendy, is he?"

Adele was about to nod in agreement when she saw a somewhat sneaky figure walk into the Esco family's bar.

"Why doesn't she pretend?"

Adele frowned as she watched. In her opinion, Wendy's outfit was full of flaws. Even her most obvious red hair was not disguised well, and a few strands of curly hair were exposed from under the wig.

"It can be seen that she has really tried hard to disguise herself..."

Vinata shook her head sympathetically, "What do you say? Should we go take a look?"

"Logically speaking, the connection between her and me shouldn't have reached the gangsters' ears so quickly. The best protection for us is not going in..."

Adele frowned. "But my spiritual intuition tells me that I should follow her in and take a look. The last time I had this feeling was the day before the angel descended. I think we should follow her in."

"How do we get in? Do we need to disguise ourselves and sneak in?" Vinata asked.

"A simple disguise will be enough. If Wendy is exposed, we may need to remove the disguise."

Adele nodded and said, "I'll have five minutes. Let's go to the store next door and buy some new clothes."

……

This was Wendy's first time attending a gathering of Extraordinary people. In fact, this was the first time she had seen such a depressing gathering of Extraordinary people.

Unlike other extraordinary people's gatherings which are free and leisurely, the gathering place for the extraordinary people here is in the hall on the second underground floor, and the high platforms on both sides of the first underground floor are full of guards with live ammunition. The high-pressure steam rifles are pointed at every extraordinary person attending the party below without any concealment. Once there is any unusual movement, they will be showered with bullets.

There was a notice written in bold font posted on the wall, and next to the notice were a few tanned human heads hanging with dry eyes, as if they were warning of something.

"Attention, Extraordinary participants: The Esco Bar underground trading market is the only underground trading market allowed to operate in Indo Port. Similar material trading is not allowed in places other than the Esco Bar."

"You are not allowed to bring weapons or magical items into the trading market. Items that need to be traded must be handed over to the front desk for temporary safekeeping. The trading floor will take 15% of the transaction price."

"You are not allowed to use extraordinary abilities here. Once the guards on the underground floor think you are abnormal, they will shoot you directly without warning. There are high-energy explosives under your seats that can be detonated at any time."

"Before you get upset about the above terms, please read the following data: The Esco family currently has more than 18,400 direct members. Including other gangs, the number of members exceeds 40,000, of which nearly 10,000 have the same weapons and equipment as regular troops."

"Besides that, more than 60% of the residents of Indo Port have cooperated with the mafia. If you dare to challenge the authority of the Esco family, half of Indo Port will be your enemy."

"We include members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, factory owners, industrialists, workers, hooligans, hit men, prostitutes, pickpockets, every kind of desperado you can think of."

"Perhaps you find this hard to believe, but it is true. The heads hanging on this notice are the heads of violators - in fact, of course, not all of them, we just picked a few of the better-looking ones to hang there, and we never lack spare parts."

"Before you plan to use your damn extraordinary abilities to disrupt the order of our lives, use your brains to think about whose country and whose port this is."

Wendy read the regulations carefully, feeling the rage and madness contained in them. The damage caused by the war here has been transformed into hatred towards the Extraordinary group under the guidance of some force, causing the people here to arm themselves indiscriminately, supervise the Extraordinary who abide by the rules, and hunt down the Extraordinary who do not.

When they enforced their own laws, they never cared how many people were affected. As long as they had anything to do with the Beyonders, they would be the targets of their retaliation. After the war, before the Church of the God of War regained control of this place, they quickly formed an alliance and grew to a point that even the Church did not dare to easily shake.

After all, no matter what reasons the church had, dealing with this number of gangs would require as much power as launching a war. Once the church used extraordinary power to subdue the other side, the people would be more afraid of the extraordinary people, new Esco would continue to appear, and the number of believers would decrease.

The more she read, the more frightened Wendy felt. She began to regret why she came here today. It had only been a year since the original owner left Indo, but who knew it would turn out like this.

But she had come this far and could not turn back. She could only grit her teeth and hand over the extraordinary characteristics to the person in charge, and then walked into the depressing underground hall.

Before entering the underground hall, two people searched her. Although her hands were dirty, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it.

I won't come here next time...

Wendy swore in her heart and walked away with a smile.

However, she was not feeling safe sitting down there. As a Beyonder on the Path of Common Knowledge, she broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about how powerful the explosives under her seat were. She did not dare to make any big moves, for fear that the guards above would judge her as a criminal and shoot her directly.

In this situation, she didn't hear what the host on the stage said at all. She just wanted to wait until the Beyonder Characteristics in her hands were sold and then leave here as soon as possible.

"The item to be traded next is an extraordinary material, the eyes of the enchanting witch. The quantity is a pair, and the price is 10,000 Horns."

The host on the stage took out a small box and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was a pair of dark eyes. Although they had been plucked out, they still retained their vitality and flashed colorful light, giving people a dreamy feeling.

The extraordinary people present at the meeting whispered to each other. Ten thousand gold horns were equivalent to less than 2000 pounds, which was already a considerable deal here.

As the guards on the first floor turned their guns in a warning tone, the Beyonders quickly returned to calm. However, Wendy felt that a man with black hair and blue eyes not far behind her seemed to move slightly.
