The Changsheng Society Is Full of Short-Lived Ghosts

"Damn it, I got cheated!"

At the bottom of the ship, Zhang Youzi was lying in the middle of a pile of debris and garbage, enduring the unspeakable stench in the hold, feeling really bad. The ticket given by the so-called Dao Ge was not a ticket at all, but a temporary work contract. As soon as he got on board, he was taken to the bottom by the sailors before he had time to catch his breath. He did dirty and hard work, and finally hid in the cargo hold to take a break.

"I've suffered from my lack of education again. If I had known, I wouldn't have dropped out of school." Zhang Youzi crossed his legs and muttered to himself, "After I finish this job, I must make a clear break with Dao Laogou. But how can I get to the upper level of the cruise ship now?"

According to the previous routine, it was nothing more than finding a rich man, stealing his money and clothes, and then pretending to be him to get into the upper class. But now there were some problems. He was not a passenger, but a sailor, and he couldn't even go to the ordinary passenger cabin. It was really a headache.

"Why not just forget it? What a crap mission! I won't do it anymore." Zhang Youzi thought for a while, but still had no clue. With a headache, he gave up and said, "Let's see if there are any valuable goods here. Now that we are not far from the port, we can steal a lifeboat and return to Tianjin Port."

Zhang Youzi turned over and jumped up, looked around, found an iron rod, and started to pry open the wooden box that had been lying there.

"Hmm? This is..."

In the rectangular wooden box, in addition to the foam used to reduce impact and pressure, there are neatly stacked black blocks. Each block is about the size of a human palm and is a bit heavy in the hand, estimated to weigh about five or six kilograms.

"What is this? A brick?" Zhang Youzi had never seen anything like this before. He took out a piece and bit it. He found that it was not made of metal and was not edible. "It's useless. Forget it. Let's look at other boxes."

After prying open more than a dozen boxes, he found all of them were filled with these strange things. Zhang Youzi was completely confused.

"What on earth is this thing? Is it valuable?" Zhang Youzi was puzzled. Following the principle of a thief never leaves empty-handed, he took a few pieces and hid them on his body.

Before he could pry open any other boxes, he heard voices outside.

Zhang Youzi was startled and quickly closed the boxes again and secretly hid himself in a secluded corner.

Almost at the same time, three people sneaked in and quietly closed the hatch.

"What have you considered?" one of the tall and strong men said coldly.

The other two seemed to be sailors, because Zhang Youzi smelled a strong scent of the sea and an unconcealable body odor from them.

"This, this is not easy to deal with." Sailor A said hesitantly.

The tall man said coldly: "Why don't you make money?"

"But there are three or four thousand people on the ship. If..." Sailor A said unsteadily, "I really can't bear it."

"I'm not asking you to kill anyone, why are you pretending to be so cruel!" The tall man said murderously, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, I just want to ask you whether you will do it or not!"

The sailor man sighed, "Okay, I'll do it."

"What about you?" The tall man looked at the other man.

Sailor B only said: "It will cost extra money, and it must be paid in advance."

"Money is not a problem. I can give you half of it now." The tall man said calmly, "But you must keep your mouth shut afterwards. If you leak any information, you and your family will die."

The two sailors had no objection to this and nodded.

"Once the ship enters the high seas, you will start." The tall man was very satisfied with the two men's reactions. He casually opened the wooden box beside him and took out a "black brick" that Zhang Youzi had just thought of. He ordered: "Above the third floor, you don't need to do anything. I have other arrangements. For other floors, every room and corridor must be pasted with a brick every ten meters. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The two men said in unison.

The three of them discussed in secret for a few more sentences before leaving in a hurry.

Zhang Youzi, who was hiding in the dark, only heard a rough outline of what was said, but his face looked bad already. It seemed like someone on the ship was plotting something big, and it didn't sound good.

"What the hell are these?" Zhang Youzi took out the two "black bricks" he had just stolen from his arms. "It seems that this ship is not safe. I have to find a way to steal a lifeboat and return to Tianjin Port as soon as possible." As for the task given to him by Dao Ge, he had thrown it out of his mind. Saving his life was the most important thing. Everything else was bullshit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Youzi waited for a while before quietly slipping out.

Nearing midnight, the butler William knocked on Xia Tian and Ajiu's door: "Master, the exchange meeting will start soon."

After a while, the door opened and Xia Tian and Ajiu walked out together. They were both dressed casually, wearing whatever was comfortable and had no interest in any brand names or designs.

Butler William looked straight ahead and said with a smile, "The exchange meeting will be on the 12th floor. Please follow me."

"You, lead the way." Jiu nodded.

"Okay." Butler William walked in front, about a step and a half ahead of the two people, leaning slightly to the side, explaining the precautions of the exchange meeting from time to time: "This exchange meeting is semi-open. In principle, all passengers on the ship can participate. However, those who have invitations have priority in trading, and can choose not to disclose their identities."

Ah Jiu asked casually: "How many people usually attend the exchange meeting?"

"There is no rule for this. This time, there will probably be less than a hundred people." Butler William explained slowly, "Each time, there will be no more than 60 invitations. There are also some thresholds for those who don't have invitations. This will isolate most of the people who are just there to join in the fun."

"What's the threshold?" A Jiushuang asked.

"Is that even a question? No matter where you are, the best barrier to entry is money." At this time, a rather hostile voice sounded from the side, "If you have money, especially if you have enough money, you can do whatever you want, like me."

The person who came was Cai Jiaxu, and there was someone who looked familiar to Xia Tian, ​​Xu Xiaojun, Xu Jiaona's cousin. This girl was still indifferent to Cai Jiaxu a few days ago, but now she was very natural to hold his arm. This change was really too big, and no one knew what had happened during this period.

"Xia Tian, ​​you see, Xiao Jun is mine now, so you'd better not have any ideas about her." Cai Jiaxu seemed to have forgotten that he had been beaten by Xia Tian before, and still warned him self-righteously.

Xu Xiaojun also glanced at Xia Tian with an apologetic look, but said nothing.

"Idiot." Xia Tian was not interested in other people's affairs and was too lazy to ask. He just cursed Cai Jiaxu.

"Xia Tian, ​​remember this!" Cai Jiaxu was still angry and glared at Xia Tian, ​​saying, "You won't gain anything from this Immortals' Meeting. No matter what you want to buy, I will buy it for you at ten times the price."

"Then you may not have enough money." Jiu couldn't help laughing. Although she didn't know how many industries Xia Tian had, the Miracle Doctor Group alone was a behemoth that many wealthy people looked up to. In addition, he had medical skills that could earn sky-high prices at any time. There were really not many people in the world who could compare with him in terms of money, let alone the idiot in front of her.

"Hmph!" Cai Jiaxu snorted coldly, hugged Xu Xiaojun and slowly walked into the venue of the exchange meeting.

Before going in, Xu Xiaojun suddenly turned around and gave Xia Tian an ambiguous look, but still didn't say anything.

"Do you know this girl?" Ah Jiu also saw Xu Xiaojun's look, "She looks like she has encountered some problems."

"We know each other, but we're not close." Xia Tian said indifferently, "Girl Jiu, whether she encounters a problem or not, it has nothing to do with us."

Ah Jiu thought so too, they still had a lot of troubles to solve.

"The venue is just in front. According to the rules, I can't go in, so I'll wait outside." Butler William stood in front of the venue with a smile on his face. "Of course, if the master needs anything, you can tell me to do it at any time."

Xia Tian said lazily: "No need, just stay here."

After saying that, he put his arms around Jiu's slender waist, pushed open the door of the venue, and slowly walked in.

The venue was quite large, with more than a dozen large round tables. There were already quite a few people sitting around those round tables. It didn't look like an exchange meeting, but more like a dinner party.

They arrived late in the summer, so they didn't have many choices. They just picked the nearest empty table and sat down.

"The people here...are a little strange." Ah Jiu looked around the venue and was surprised. She originally thought that most of the people who came to participate in the so-called Immortality Meeting would be old people in their 50s and 60s like Fang Tianqi. After all, people only have such unrealistic ideas when they are about to die. However, most of the people in the venue were under 40 years old, and there were even a few minors. This situation was really puzzling.

"Nine girls, what's so strange about this?" Xia Tian yawned lazily and said disapprovingly.

Ah Jiu said his thoughts again, and then asked back: "Don't you find it strange at all? These people are obviously still young and in their prime. Why are they seeking immortality instead of enjoying life?"

Xia Tian laughed and said, "Nine girls, you are a little bit stupid. People who seek immortality are not necessarily old men, there are also people who are about to die."

"What?" Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he understood: "You mean these people..."

"Yes." Xia Tian nodded, "The people in this Changsheng Society are all short-lived."

Xia Tian's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the people at the same table. One of them slammed the table, glared at Xia Tian fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Who the hell are you calling a short-lived ghost!"
