Chapter 294: The Auction (Part 1)

After the host took the stage to make an opening remarks and some leading figures' speeches, the auction officially began, the host first let Miss Etiquette launch the first sale of the auction, and introduced, as for this thing, I have seen it in the booklet just now, it is a porcelain bowl of the Qing Dynasty, the starting price is 10,000, there are three people present who raised their cards, and finally sold at a price of 18,000, the winner is a young man with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Uncle, are the people here really all members of the organization?" I asked.

"At least half of them are." Uncle Han moved his lips slightly, "Like the one who took the porcelain bowl just now, it is Wu Zi and the people of the second column, so although Xiao Wu is not on the ship now, his people are everywhere, helping him keep an eye on everything here." ”

"Well, Uncle Xiao Wu told me before that he was the captain of the second column, the column or something, is it the way the organization is structured?"

"I'll tell you about this later." After speaking, Uncle Han raised the sign in his hand.

It turned out that the item that appeared on the stage now was a landscape oil painting, and after seeing the real thing, it made me feel more and more familiar.

Then someone followed Uncle Han's card, and then after others raised the card three times, finally Uncle Han raised the card again, with no one following the card, after a final decision, finally got the sale.

"Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully getting the second treasure of this auction and dedicating his love to charity, for which I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude!" The host said excitedly to Uncle Han in the audience, and Uncle Han smiled back with a courtesy smile.

After the applause, I looked at Uncle Han with very curious eyes, and he smiled and said to me, "Next time, take it home and hang it up again." ”

At this time, I remembered that this painting was the one that was missing on the blank wall when I returned to the Shi family's house before, although I have now recovered part of my memory, but because I rarely went home before the incident, I don't know much about things at home, but that painting was there before I was taken to Grandpa Ding, so I still have a vague impression.

"How did my stuff end up here?" I wondered.

"People go to Shi's house to grab things to pay for it, and it is very normal for these things to flow into the black market, but fortunately, one of them is here and can be recovered." Uncle Han said slowly.

"By the way, this painting is really that valuable?"

"Of course, because it's not a product of this world."

"Not a product of this world!? Could it be ......?"

Uncle Han didn't answer, just nodded silently.

Now that I think about it, the content of that painting is indeed a bit strange, it feels like a scenery outside the fortress, but the things inside the city walls have an obvious sense of modernity, according to Uncle Han later told me, the person who painted this painting was an executor of a guild in the former "Disillusionment Zone" in the past, and the content of the painting was the scenery inside and outside the guild's permanent material point at that time, if I thought that this painting was to show a grand and majestic momentum, then now it is so desolate, this is from the silent cry of a group of people who have no home to return......

Suddenly, Uncle Han's mobile phone rang, and after clicking on it, it turned out to be a spam text message advertised, but when he saw this message, his eyes showed an incomparable joy.

"The crack was successful." Uncle Han put away his phone and smiled.

"How do you know?" I asked curiously.

"If you can receive a sales message here, it means that the filtering and identification function of the Sky System has failed." Uncle Han said meaningfully, "The reason why that system can be legitimized is that it can filter and eliminate spam information within its control, and use this function as a trick to understand everyone's information and the content of the call." ”

"That's ...... so"

Just as I was pretending to be ignorant of this, there was a fierce argument from the back of the hall, and it turned out that a guest was arguing with the security guard at the door, which meant that the guest wanted to go out to answer the phone, but was stopped by the security guard and did not allow him to step out of the venue.

In the face of more and more doubts, the host hurriedly came out to explain: "I'm sorry everyone, I forgot to say one thing just now, due to the conditions of our auction venue, so all the sales are currently temporarily stored at the door, in order to prevent accidents, so no one is allowed to leave the venue for the time being, and when the auction is over, all the sales are claimed by the corresponding buyers, everyone can enter and exit freely, and I hope to cooperate more, if you want to go to the toilet, the door behind the stage is on the left hand side of the ......."

After hearing this, everyone finally let go of the anxiety in their hearts and continued to sit quietly in their seats and wait for the next item to appear.

"Isn't this equivalent to being grounded temporarily?" I muttered.

At this time, Uncle Han's expression was a little complicated, and he whispered a few words to Mrs. Han Qianyu beside him, Mrs. Han nodded after hearing this, stood up and walked to the back of the stage.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"When you and Han Qin see the opportunity, the storm may be ahead of schedule."

"Storm?" I wondered.

After that, more than a dozen items were bought by auction one after another, and all the things in the booklet have appeared, and in the process, Uncle Han did not raise a card once, and Mrs. Han did not come back again, and I began to have a sense of foreboding in my heart.

Suddenly, all the lights in the entire venue were extinguished, including the large stage screen, and the whole venue was suddenly plunged into darkness where you couldn't see your fingers.

Click!

A beam of chasing light suddenly hit the center of the stage, and in the round miserable white aura, a slightly larger cube box on the display table was covered by red flannel, which was obviously the finale of the so-called easter egg.

Immediately after that, the host's voice, who only heard his voice and couldn't see him, sounded: "Let everyone wait for a long time, as the last mysterious sale of this auction, you must have been looking forward to its appearance!?" ”。

As soon as the words fell, the flannel on the box was slowly removed, and everyone stared there with bated breath, including me, people's curiosity is sometimes so involuntary, especially people like me who have never seen much of the world, and they are still full of the kind of civilian mentality of watching the excitement.

The cloth was finally completely uncovered and slid to the ground, and the cube on the display table was actually a black iron cage, in which was a shivering unknown creature was held, the whole body was as black as the cage, and the eyes flashed with white light, looking extremely frightened, because my seat was relatively close to the stage, by closer inspection, it was a thing covered in scales, with a pair of horns on its head that resembled a lizard, to be exact, more like a dragon!
