In the display case next to it is an old porcelain bowl, which Li Du noticed earlier, this bowl is from the RB Warring States period, more than 400 years ago, and is one of the highlights of this auction. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The worm flew through the tempered glass display case without hindrance, flew in, and stopped on the bowl, then put its mouth on the mouth of the bowl and sucked something greedily.

Li Du stood by strangely and watched, and soon his feelings changed.

Something seemed to be pouring into his body, refreshing him slightly, and he clenched his fists, feeling his strength seem to be a little stronger.

After stopping on the bowl for a few seconds, the worm flew back up, flapping its wings and flying into another display case.

In this display case is an eighteenth-century nautical clock, bronze and simple, and the worm also sticks its mouth to the clock, and once again greedily sucks something.

Li Du could only vaguely feel what it was sucking, but he didn't know what it was.

Leaving the clock, the worm flew towards a silver statue again, and Li Du followed it, needless to say, the worm flew up and sucked it again.

A few seconds later, it flew onto a medieval English longbow, and after this sucking, it did not look for the auction item, but flew in the air and stretched its body as if stretching, and then flew to Li Du's shoulder.

At this moment, the yew of the English longbow suddenly broke in two, fell from the bracket, and when it fell onto the display case, it shattered into several pieces like glass.

A couple who were looking at the longbow in front of the display case were startled, and the woman opened her mouth and exclaimed, "Ahhhhh

Li Du subconsciously retreated, and just as the people around him were crowded, he quietly retreated to the side.

The wind on his face was light, but his heart was turbulent, and he knew that the change in this longbow must be related to the worm!

There were a lot of people from the auction company at the scene, and the head of security and the manager walked briskly together, and then saw the change of the longbow, and the two of them were stunned at the same time.

The couple waved their hands together, "We don't know what happened, but all of a sudden the bow and arrow broke, and then broke into several pieces.

Hearing this, the manager smiled to reassure the couple, and then instructed the security supervisor: "Quick, go to the monitoring room and see what is going on!"

Each showcase is monitored by cameras in case of accidents.

Li Du was a little embarrassed, he couldn't get out of this matter, but no one knew about it.

The people who participated in the auction were all collectors, and there were experts inside, and after a silver-haired old man looked at it carefully, he frowned and said, "It seems that this bow and arrow is broken by the aging of the wood caused by natural weathering." ”

Li Du looked at the porcelain bowl and the navigation clock, he felt that the porcelain bowl was no longer as smooth and bright as when he first saw it, and the navigation clock was no longer quaint, but worn.

A thought suddenly occurred in his heart, could it be that the worm had just absorbed the vitality of these items?

IN FRONT OF THE LONGBOW SHOWCASE, THE SECURITY SUPERVISOR QUICKLY RETURNED WITH AN IPAD AND SHOWED THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO TO THE MANAGER AND THE OLD MAN.

The old man looked at it and said, "From here, in five seconds, it suddenly and quickly becomes, becomes, becomes old?"

The manager was stunned and said, "Yes, it seems that the time in the display case is not five seconds but five hundred years, but how can this be?"

"Is it someone releasing peroxide gas into the display case? Rapid oxidation causes the wood to age rapidly. The head of security said with a solemn expression.

The manager's face changed and he said, "Go check the other exhibits!"

The other lots did not appear to be broken, which made the manager and others breathe a sigh of relief.

Someone noticed the changes in the porcelain bowls, the marine clock, and the silver statues, saying, "They also seem to be a little older than before." ”

The security personnel immediately dispatched all the people who were gathered around to watch the excitement one by one, apparently suspecting that someone was mixed in to cause sabotage.

However, because the people present were either rich or expensive, and there was no definite evidence that someone was doing something, the auction company did not dare to imprison them, so they could only send them away first to prevent further destruction of the auction items.

Li Du walked out, he was still reminiscing about the words of the manager and the old man, they said that these things had aging problems in a short period of time.

So, could it be that the worm sucks away not the life force, but the time of these things?

This guess startled him, but it was the most reliable one.

Playboy and Hans then walked out, and they were sent to another room of the hotel to rest, where the auction house prepared drinks and refreshments.

Drinking the juice casually, Li Du saw the manager walk in, first bowed, and then apologized that the auction would be suspended because of an accident.

Everyone suddenly complained, the manager apologized vigorously, and people began to leave in twos and threes.

Li Du got up to leave, and then he turned his head and was stunned to see the little worm lurking on his shoulder!

Subconsciously, he asked Hans, "How long have we been out?"

Hans said, "Who knows, I don't look at the time. ”

Playboy smiled: "22 minutes, it was 10:25 when we came out, and now it's 47." ”

Li Du casually found a reason, he was very surprised, looking at it this way, together with the time that the worm appeared in the exhibition hall before, it must have been twenty-five or six minutes in total.

And he was only a little tired now, not very tired, you must know that just yesterday when he practiced controlling the worm, he could only let it come out for eighteen minutes!

The worm absorbs the time of the auction item, which enhances his ability to control the worm.

Or rather, increased his energy.

Leaving the hotel, the playboy invited them to lunch, and because Li Du was Chinese, he invited the two to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Flagpole City has a thriving restaurant industry, after all, there are several universities supporting the consumer market.

The name of the Chinese restaurant is Imperial Dining Room, and when he saw this name, Li Du gasped, this boss really had the courage to dare to give his restaurant such a domineering name.

The restaurant's décor is chinoiserie-style, with porcelain, landscape paintings, pictures of Tang and Song ladies, as well as festive red lanterns and Chinese knots, which can indeed fool Americans.

They sat down and didn't order first, and the playboy asked, "Did Andrew's bastard lose a valuable piece of news to you?

Hans shrugged, "Not yet, but we're not in a hurry. ”

The playboy took out his mobile phone and called, saying, "You have to rush him, this guy is a notoriously old man!"

He deliberately disgusted Andrew, but Andrew had a hard temper, and he refused to lose face in front of the playboy, so he immediately asked Hans to answer the phone and said something.

When he hung up the phone, Hans grinned, "Thank you, man, that guy gave me a time and address, and I hope to get some more bang for it." ”
