156. Objects with magical powers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before you are invited to participate in our journey around the world, I believe you are all mentally prepared to feel a different life and experience the excitement that you have never experienced before."
Before the opening of the auction, there was a master of ceremonies who stood on the stage like a chicken blood and impassioned the atmosphere, just like the shopping guide in a shopping advertisement.
"Everyone who is doing it is a distinguished guest, and I believe that in your world, money is no longer a stimulating thing, it is just a number and a symbol. Otherwise, Mr. Robin would not have bought a spaceship to fly in the sky at his own expense. β
The audience erupted in laughter, and the target of their jokes was a man in his early forties, but no matter what they laughed at, the man named Robin could indeed be called the best man in the world at spending money. Those things that go to the sky in a hot air balloon and go into the sea in a submarine are weak for him. In order to be able to go to space, he even invested in the establishment of his own space company, and in order to be able to go to the bottom of the sea, he purchased four deep-sea exploration warehouses and successfully became the first businessman in human history to dive into the 4,500-meter deep sea in his own name.
"The items we are going to auction today are not those vulgar crafts, let alone those lifeless jewels. Every piece of the collection here has magical powers, angels or devils, we can't guarantee it, so any situation can arise, then those who can't bear it can leave now. β
As the host's tone intensified, it really scared a few guys who were reluctant to play for their lives for a while. Seven or eight people withdrew from the auction one after another, but their withdrawal did not dampen the interest of those still present, and one by one these curious fellows craned their heads and waited with bated breath for the first collection to be auctioned.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead."
Siyuan sat in the corner position, and closed the introduction manual in his hand with a sneer, judging from the introduction on the manual, this auction is mainly to buy some things with aura, they have their own characteristics, but these things probably won't bring people any good luck, after all, ghost weapons I am really a little powerful for ordinary people.
"Sir. Have you read the material? β
"I'm done." Siyuan leaned back in his chair. Then he leaned into Karin's ear and said, "Do these people know how effective they are?" β
"Of course, sir." Karin laughed, "But to them, it's nothing. Isn't it? No matter how dangerous it is, can it be more dangerous to go into space alone? β
Siyuan smiled and didn't speak, but he knew that these things were really much more dangerous than going to space. It's a ghost weapon or something. But these things once activated. Entering the world of ordinary people, it is like playing with the lives of two people.
"Now, let's take a look at the first collection!"
The auctioneer slowly walked up to the forefront. He took the place of the master of ceremonies, and introduced with a smile on his face: "This collection belongs to the Renaissance era, and it is the personal belongings of the genius artist Leonardo da Vinci, with amazing talent. β
While talking, the two staff members carefully moved a glass box onto the countertop, and there was a fountain pen that looked old lying quietly, its shape was simple, but as long as people who were not blind could feel the aura flowing from its body.
"As we all know, the first real fountain pen was born at the beginning of the 19th century, but what everyone doesn't know is that as early as the Renaissance, when the outstanding scientist, artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci had already invented a fountain pen that was almost the same as the later fountain pen, but because of the high cost of counterfeiting and the complexity of the process, people would rather use a goose feather than use such a high-tech product."
"Of course, what was high-tech in the past has now become an antique. It was the first and only fountain pen made by Leonardo da Vinci, and it is said that the person who holds it will let the soul of the great artist attach to the body, and can not only write a good hand, but also have a unique artistic talent. It starts at $1,000,000 and must be less than $50,000 per sign. β
Siyuan looked at the fountain pen, turned his head sideways and said to Karin, "Can this pen be so magical?" β
"Of course, but a few people who tested it have died, and the cause of death is myocardial infarction. I don't know why, but I think it's because those of them who don't have artistic talent can't bear the surging passion of creation. β
After hearing this, Siyuan pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully. Because he knows, what kind of creative passion is this, it is purely that the ghost weapon has a certain spirituality, when people write or draw with it, the static electricity of the pen tip and the friction of the paper activates the magnetic field belonging to this pen, it will make people fall into high-intensity excitement and passion, so that people secrete adrenaline in the form of an explosion, and the human body simply cannot bear such a high degree of excitement, so naturally it will be on both feet and die on the spot.
The final price of this pen was 9 million US dollars, and it seems that this thing does not seem to be able to make these rich old men tempted, they sporadically lifted the pen of the great artist to 9 million and no one was willing to coax it anymore, and finally this pen fell into the hands of an old man with an artist's temperament.
"Here is the second collection......"
In this way, these guys with some aura or ghost spirit were brought out for auction one after another, in addition to Leonardo da Vinci's pen, Franklin's key, Nikola Tesla's brass and Li Lianying's dildo......
Of course, this Li Lianying's dildo was an eye-opener for Siyuan, but he didn't expect that this little plum was actually a celebrity and entered this auction with Leonardo da Vinci and Franklin, and this delicate carved wood phallus with a length of about 25 centimeters and a diameter of 7 centimeters was bought by a somewhat malnourished Japanese buyer, and the price exploded Da Vinci's fountain pen.
"This phallus was the funerary object of Li Lianying, a famous eunuch of the Qing Dynasty in China, who was mutilated and thus lost his male character and pleasure, and the artifact became a substitute for the reincarnation he hoped for, as it was said to give off a strong male aura to those who touched it. It can not only attract females, but also treat impotence and premature ejaculation, which can be said to be a man's treasure. β
Siyuan nodded slightly, leaned into Karin's ear, who introduced him, and said, "My teacher told me that nothing in this world can be obtained out of thin air without paying a price, and it may be able to revive a man's strength, but I believe it will charge high interest in another way. β
"That's not our problem, is it?" Karin smiled and said, "These guests have signed an agreement, and we have all been open and honest with them. β
Thinking about it, this is not wrong, after all, people who can enter this VIP room. They were all characters with heads and faces. So they're not stupid either, so there's no need to worry about them being kept in the dark, and if they're willing to die, who wants to stop them?
Not more than a moment. The auctioneer's assistant suddenly walked in and whispered a few words to him. His face changed on the spot. Then he coughed twice, and said to the guests with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next collection is the highlight of today's auction!" This is a lacquer mask from a certain era in China. β
Between words. Two Asians dressed as Qing Dynasty officials walked in from outside the door carrying a sedan chair, their fake braids swaying up and down, and their clumsy acting skills and deliberate ugliness caused the audience to laugh wildly.
"I guess you're ignoring my feelings, aren't you?"
Siyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Karin, this look was sensitively captured by her, at that moment, the cold light in Siyuan's eyes made Karin's whole person cold from head to foot, and she trembled a few times like electricity.
When she reacted, she found that the current scene was really embarrassing to the Chinese in front of her, and deliberately belittled in order to set off the atmosphere, and this inferior comedy effect made Karin a little embarrassed.
Mr. Qi...... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I don't know who planned this auction, and I will make sure they apologize to you seriously when I go back......"
Karin had a fine bead of sweat on her head, although the person in front of her was once considered a liar by her, but with the cold and murderous look just now, Karin had to take a very serious look at the young man in front of her.
"It's okay, I don't blame you. National weakness is like that. Siyuan leaned back in his chair, smiled slightly, and glanced at Karin's neck with the corner of his eye: "But if there is a next time......
Karin's pupils contracted suddenly, and she subconsciously protected her neck, and nodded busily: "I will definitely tell them...... By all ......"
The aura of the ghost mother, that's not to say. Although she became Siyuan's appearance, the murderous aura in her eyes was still like substance, she only needed to glance at it, Karin couldn't even raise the heart to resist, and she almost didn't pee her pants.
But after that, she didn't do anything, and watched the auction quietly. But Karin was a little restless next to her, and the look in her eyes from the scene just now seemed to be engraved in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it.
It's not that she hasn't killed anyone, and it's not that she hasn't faced those terrifying demons, but those people together are not as terrible as Siyuan's eyes just now...... That's not the kind of eyes that humans can have!
Of course...... If she knew that the so-called demon she saw was not even a scum in front of the ghost mother, she might have been relieved. After all, when Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in one night, and annihilated nearly one million enemies in total, what was attached to his body was Miss Qin Luofu Qin who was for revenge.
"This collection is the finale of the day, I think everyone can feel its evil aura through the cage, right?"
The mask, mentioned by the French nobleman yesterday, was lying in a cage made of silver, with a cinnabar red front and a lifeless silver-gray back, and its facial features were clearly an angry face, not as hideous as the Japanese standard masks, but its anger could be clearly felt.
And it was not honest when it was inside, it kept struggling to break free from the cage, and a roar and sigh seemed to reach Siyuan's ears, giving people a strange sense of coldness.
"No one knows what era this mask is, let alone a master or an unknown craftsman, but even those who don't know anything about it can see the anger and resentment it contains. We don't know anything about this object, whether it's dangerous, whether it's uncontrollable, we don't know anything. Prices start at five million. Each increase is not less than 100,000. β
This thing is really a little scary, so the scene suddenly cools down, and the mask is constantly struggling in the cage, which makes people even more afraid to get their hands on it.
However, the French girl, who was the owner of the item, kept looking back, constantly signaling with her eyes and hurriedly raised her hand, but Siyuan sat there motionless, as if she didn't see it.
"Mr. Qi, what does this noodle mean?"
"Whoever buys dies."
Siyuan's words are not much, only four words. But these four words spread all over the audience inexplicably, and those who were originally bold and wanted to raise their cards hesitated for a while. In the end, he didn't have the courage to raise the number plate in his hand.
Ultimately. The mask ended in failure, and had to be covered with a layer of tin foil film again, and the first auction had to be hastily ended.
At the end of the scene, the French girl found Siyuan. With a sigh of relief, he asked, "Are you sure?" Is the person who bought it really going to die? β
"Yes." Siyuan smiled and nodded.
This mask is far from recognizable. But Luo Shi knows it. This thing is not a craft at all, but a magic artifact. This artifact originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the specific time is not verifiable. But at that time, when the official executed those cultivators with some mana, they would put on a mask like this, in order to prevent their souls from reincarnating or taking revenge from outside the body, so this mask was attached to the souls of those cultivators, after thousands of years of banning, it naturally formed a strong resentment, which could not be surpassed or resolved at all, the reason why this little French girl was safe and sound, it was because the mask did not wake up before, but was sleeping.
And now, under the influence of the Kuroshio, the mask has awakened, this thing is not fun, at least at this stage, Siyuan can't use the Wanling Card and the dream scales haven't woken up, so it's really useless.
"That'...... If that happens, without this money, my family will go bankrupt. The eyes of the little French nobleman turned red on the spot, and he bit his lip and looked at Siyuan pitifully: "Please." β
"Please?" Siyuan ...... No, it should be the ghost mother, and she smiled gloomily: "Look at the mood." β
"It depends on the mood...... When will you feel better? β
Siyuan smiled and waved his hand, then turned to leave, the little girl just wanted to follow, but Karin coldly separated her behind Siyuan, and said very resolutely: "Please don't disturb the VIP." β
At this time, Siyuan turned around and pointed at Karin: "You are the same, and let that waiter come to my room now, there is nothing to do at noon anyway." β
After finishing speaking, Siyuan went straight back to the room, and then his soul and ghost mother were instantly separated, and entered his body on the bed, and then the real Siyuan sat up from the bed, fleshy temples: "What do you think?" β
"I don't know, I don't know anything." The ghost mother smiled and sat on the edge of the bed: "I'm just your bodyguard." β
As he spoke, there was a knock at the door, and then Karin's voice sounded outside: "Sir, here comes the man you wanted." β
Siyuan only wore a white shirt, the shirt was not pressed into the pants, the loose waves were outside, and the cufflinks were wide open, no matter how you looked at it, she looked like a playboy, especially the ghost mother was still lazy and tired lying on the bed, with a look of spring.
After Karin opened the door and saw the scenery inside the door, she secretly felt that Siyuan was simply dirty, but Ji Yanran, who was following behind her, lowered her head skillfully, her face was red like a monkey's buttocks, and her eyes were full of flashes, and there was no trace of deliberateness at all.
"You go in, if we are complained by this gentleman, then we will terminate the contract with you immediately." Karin frowned, leaned into Ji Yanran's ear and said, "In the vast sea, it is not difficult to make a person disappear. β
"Hmm...... I...... I know...... Got it. β
Ji Yanran walked into the room tremblingly, and Karin closed the door from the outside. When the door closed, she immediately pressed the anti-lock button and ran towards Siyuan.
"Report to the chief, Ji Yanran of the second group of the special service reports to you!"
"Okay...... Siyuan smiled and shook his head: "Say it." β
Ji Yanran looked back and forth around Siyuan, looked at the ghost mother again, and pouted: "I have to sue Sister Qianruo!" β
"Then I'll eat you." The ghost mother raised her eyebrows: "Try it?" β
"I'm from the Special Task Force...... How can you eat me? β
"You're the one who keeps the gate, and I'll eat it all."
Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the ghost mother: "So good?" β
"Blow a calf." The ghost mother stuck out her tongue: "Okay." You talk, I'll take a bath. β
After she walked into the bathroom to take a bath, Ji Yanran walked around the room with her hands behind her back, and her mouth was amazed: "It's so luxurious...... Our waiters all sleep in four-person dormitories, and we hate it to death. β
Before Siyuan got on the ship, he already knew the selection criteria for the waiters of this ship, which was basically not much different from a beauty pageant, and she had to know at least two Chinese, and Ji Yanran was selected because her Spanish was very good, plus her native language and she looked quite sweet. Plus the internal response. Naturally, it was mixed up with the ship.
She can get mixed up, how can other people get mixed up...... Siyuan is really curious, let's take the old zongzi as an example, he speaks with an official tone. Occasionally, a person pops up. This kind of thing can also be selected. It really makes Siyuan question the management level of this ship.
"Kaguya-shogun, because he was the guardian of the Daimyo Treasure Ship before, plus he can communicate with the stars. So with the ability of a natural navigator, he was specially recruited and is now the second helmsman. Others, you may not know, such as Xiaoyun in the logistics team, she is in charge of the ship's chef team, in charge of side dishes. There is also Sister Hua from the South China group, she is in the medical group. Of course, there's one more you definitely know, haha...... Guess who? β
"Auntie, hurry up. Time is running out. β
"We're just going to have to take our time, if I'm out in less than ten minutes, what do you think people will think of you? Ah, look at you, that VIP Qi Siyuan is a second man, I really can't tell that he turned out to be an embroidered pillow that is useless. β
"Hey...... Stop acting! β
Siyuan covered his face, and was really speechless at this girl. Her acting ability seems to be innate, and this gossip joke has been vividly played by her, which is extremely realistic. It's quite embarrassing to think about it......
"Okay, okay, just don't talk about it." Ji Yanran covered her mouth and smiled: "It's Boss Ling, he is the deputy leader of the security team!" β
Siyuan gasped: "How did you guys come up?" Doesn't that mean that it is heavily guarded? β
"Oh, you're stupid. There are more than 10,000 people on this ship, and they have to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation for a few months, right, so they must not all be the same kind of service, and there are many types of services, so it is natural to call people from various regions. The special case team itself is all people with their own jobs, and they are all leaders in this industry, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be Sister Xue. Boss Ling is here because of his security company, a world-renowned security company, Xiaoyun is the assistant chef of the imperial dining room in the imperial capital, and Sister Hua is a very famous Chinese medicine doctor. Of course, you can be chosen. Ji Yanran poked Siyuan's head with her hand: "Stupid." β
"Okay, okay, I'm stupid, I'm stupid." Siyuan was really a little confused by this guy: "Can you tell me what the purpose of these people is?" β
"I don't know yet, they have good secrecy measures, and those of us who recruited later can't enter their inner circle, but I know that they have looted no less than a thousand objects with special abilities from all over the world, as for what they are going to do...... I really don't know. Ji Yanran sighed, jumped onto the bed with a snap, and began to roll back and forth and tear his clothes, and said while tearing them back: "Anyway, the organization tells you to be careful, the owner of this ship is not simple, and he is likely to do something earth-shattering." Team Leader Chen asked: How are you doing? β
"Restore fΓΉ's ...... Actually, it's pretty good. Siyuan touched his forehead: "It's just that there is no eye in the sky, which is not very convenient." What are you doing here? β
"Of course, it's a simulation of a young girl's pitiful appearance after being insulted by an unscrupulous rich businessman. By the way, Qi Group, you flipped over my sign today, don't turn it over in the future, otherwise you will be suspicious. I'll find a way to give it to you if there's news, you can be an academic cannon king before your injuries are completely healed anyway! Yes, it has to be a playboy. β
Siyuan touched his head: "This is really difficult, how can you be a playboy?" β
"You're there now, I overheard someone commenting on you yesterday, yes...... You're now a well-known playboy on the ship, but you're not wave enough, not wave enough! β
"Aren't they all low-key?"
"It's stupid, we have to keep a low profile. But you must be high-profile, the more low-key you are, the more people pay attention to you, the more curious they are about you, you are high-profile, people will know what you are at a glance, am I right? So try to look like half a bucket of water dangling a little. β
"It's hard to pretend to be a master, I'm a professional in pretending to be a rookie!"
"It's hard to pretend to be a rookie." Ji Yanran sighed: "Anyway, you can figure it out, let's see what tricks they play." This is my first official mission, please...... Don't mess me up. β
"Row ......"
Siyuan gritted his teeth and agreed, but if he wanted to pretend to be a rampant and unlearned guy, this matter was really troublesome...... It's really not easy.
Ji Yanran chatted in the room for about two hours, and then she slapped her left cheek when she went out, and then limped out of the door with tears in her eyes, sobbing as she walked, as if she was really being bullied.
"This girl is a good seedling." The ghost mother snuggled up to Siyuan in her pajamas: "I'll take her as an apprentice when I go back." β
"Why?"
"Because it's ruthless."
Oh, yes...... Ji Yanran's petite figure contains unpredictable ruthlessness, in order to disguise it more realistically, she broke off one of her fingers, swollen her face and kicked the corner of the table hard, Siyuan felt pain when she looked at it, but she did it without blinking her eyes.
"I can see that this girl has hatred in her heart, and this energy is held there, and she will do a lot in the future." The ghost mother squinted her eyes, her eyes misty: "Her tolerance for evil spirits is zero. β
Siyuan listened to her words silently, from the ignorance and simplicity when she first met Ji Yanran to the ruthlessness now, although she didn't tell anyone about her pain, but this kind of determination to kill demons is probably not something that can be shaken lightly.
"We're going to have to change things in the afternoon. Rampant point. β
At this moment, in the first floor of the guarded room, thirty or forty men and women were sitting or standing inside, surrounded by several huge spiders with human faces.
When the innermost door opened, they stood up consciously, bowed their heads and waited in the living room without saying a word. The only sound in the entire living room is the stomping sound of human-faced spiders walking.
"What did you find?"
Karin took a step forward: "Master, Qi Siyuan's situation is unknown, but judging from his situation in the past two days, he is a disgusting playboy, and he doesn't seem to have specific abilities, but his eyesight is very accurate. It should be perceptual. β
"Perceptual? Can you explain where the mirror demon in his room went? The man looked at Karin with an elegant smile, "Are you going to sue me for a vacation to Hawaii?" β
"This ...... I ......" Karin bit her lip, "I think there is something wrong with the woman next to him, and that woman should be his guardian spirit." β
"Guardian spirits?"
"Yes, master. Yesterday my watchman also inadvertently mentioned that that Oriental boy actually has such a beautiful guardian spirit, and I think maybe he relied on that guardian spirit to complete the task. A big man crossed his arms: "This is a very rare species." β
"Find someone to try him."
"Yes, master." (To be continued......)
