Chapter 1802 The flaws of shopkeeper Jia

The swordsman was so frightened that his hands shook and even the sword in his hand fell to the ground: "Master Jia, I really... really have no money. If you give me a few more days, I will pay you back twice as much."

When Shopkeeper Jia walked up to the man, his face was full of kindness, but the man was so frightened that his legs became weak and he knelt on the ground: "Master Jia, please give me a few more days. I originally wanted to finish the job."

I will ask you to pay back the money for this business today, who knows..."

Shopkeeper Jia raised his hand and put it on the other person's shoulder, and said pleasantly: "Don't worry, remember to be a rich man in the next life."

"Jia..." As soon as the man said one word, the skin on his face seemed to have been suddenly drained of moisture, and in just a short moment, it turned into a mummy with human skin tightly wrapped around bones.

Shopkeeper Jia just raised his hand and threw the body out of the door.

The corpse that fell to the ground was like fine sand that had been sifted through a sieve. As soon as it touched the ground, it dispersed like water, leaving only a mark that looked like a human shape.

It won't take long for that mark to disappear without a trace under the dark wind of Yin Yang Inn, and the swordsman's traces will be completely erased.

Shopkeeper Jia bowed his hands to the rest of us and then walked away mumblingly.

I heard Shopkeeper Jia seem to be saying something like "it's too early" and "they should let them break more things next time"

I closed the door calmly and asked Su Su to set up a soundproof barrier before saying, "Ling, do you think that Jia doesn't look like the shopkeeper?"

"It feels like he uses Yin Yang Inn as a tool to make money."

When I said this, I felt that my statement was wrong, so I quickly said: "How should I put it? I just feel that something is not right. I don't know what to say?"

Zero said: "I know what you mean."

"I think Shopkeeper Jia is not from Yin Yang Inn, and what is he trying to hide?"

My eyes lit up: "How do you say this?"

Zero said: "The reason why Yin Yang Inn can attract gods, ghosts and heroes from all over the world is because it is located in a zone where no one cares."

"Anyone who can come to Yin Yang Inn is an outstanding person."

"If the Yin Yang Inn was in this state from the beginning, how could it attract characters from both good and evil factions?"

Zero specifically explained: "Jianghu is not a chaotic place where evil people gather. There are also no rules there. However, evil people who enter the chaotic place can gain benefits."

"It's the benefits that make people take risks. What's here? Apart from squeezing tenants by any means necessary, what benefits can Yin Yang Inn bring to tenants?"

"So, I'm sure that the rules of Yin Yang Inn have been changed."

I couldn't help but frown when I heard this. Ling is good at analyzing problems in subtle ways. Her words also made me doubt Yin Yang Inn.

Zero continued: "Shopkeeper Jia extorted money from us and killed the swordsman. It can be said that he has achieved both prestige and profit."

"If he didn't say anything, I might not doubt him."

"However, the few words he said before leaving were superfluous."

Only then did I realize what was going on that I had always felt was wrong.

What Shopkeeper Jia said later was obviously telling us, and it was equivalent to repeatedly emphasizing that "things in the inn must not be touched."

Zero said: "Shopkeeper Jia is afraid that we will break the things in the inn!"

Ling pointed to the table and said: "Let me use an analogy like this!"

"For example, this table is an early warning mechanism. When we don't touch it, it is equivalent to a decoration. Once we encounter danger, we will definitely knock on this table as soon as possible to provide solutions to the problem.

The person in question was summoned.”

"So, what our opponents are really afraid of is not us, but this table."

"If they want to attack our yard, they will kill the person responsible for the early warning as soon as possible so that this table will never be started."

Zero's voice paused and said: "If I hide this table and I disappear, or I simply commit suicide, what will be the result?"

I suddenly realized: "The person who occupies our yard will not only be wary of the table at all times, but also be wary of others discovering the table."

"He doesn't know what will happen after the table is broken into pieces?"

"Yes!" Ling said, "I suspect that Jia, the shopkeeper, came from a bad background. That's why he deliberately pretended to be mercenary and unscrupulous, and threatened the tenants so that they would not dare to touch the inn's property easily.

facility."

"In this way, the early warning mechanism in the inn will never be triggered."

I subconsciously looked out the window: "You mean, the real owner of Yin Yang Inn is sleeping in the middle area, or is in retreat? If we get the mechanism, we can wake up the owner of the inn?"

"Then let's..."

I originally wanted to say: Should we go directly to the center of the inn?

The words came to his lips, but he stopped again.
