The Story of the Seventh World (56)

At the end of the corridor, I thought it was the "newcomers" in the auction hall, but when I came to the end with the sound of footsteps in the quieter corridor, I noticed a double-open solid wood door on the right. This door is hidden in the corner on the right side of the end, this is a dead end, and when you look directly at the end of the hallway, you can only find a locked iron door, but you can't find this hidden door.

The building built by the "mobsters" is different from ordinary buildings, and from the front, it is no different from ordinary office buildings, and only those who have personally entered the building can find that the area of the internal space of this building is obviously inconsistent with the outside. When the architect built the building, he was specifically asked to build it in the shape of a diamond, with the help of the topography of the pier to create a visual blind spot, so that people can see it at first glance as an ordinary office building.

The dead corner of this building is very "weird", it is difficult for ordinary people to find, and it is difficult for people who come to the dock for the first time to pay attention to an ordinary building, and people are more focused on their own goods.

If it is only the dead end formed by the office building, this is not enough to stop everyone's sight, there will always be careful people will notice, but it happens that here is London, the world-famous "fog capital", on average seven out of ten days are accompanied by fog and slightly mysterious, which provides a natural "invisibility cloak" for this building.

Usually, the other side of the office building is not open, not many people know about it, and those who know the details are more or less connected with the "mob party", and their mouths are very strict.

Today is different from usual, what price the black market has paid, no one knows, anyway, the "dark side" of the office building has been opened and used as an auction hall. Under the guidance of the black market staff, people walked into the auction hall one after another, and Suzhou and Hangzhou were one of them.

A platform made of solid wood, on which an auction table made of mahogany stands in the center of the platform, and on the right hand side of the auction table is a wooden table covered with a tablecloth printed with flowers.

The auction hall is lined with chairs in front of the platform, and there is a one-person aisle between each chair, making it easy to pass and avoid the discomfort of being too close to strangers.

The rear of the platform was separated by a wooden partition wall, and a wooden door opened on the right-hand side, which was currently closed, and in front of the door were two large men dressed in the same clothes as in the storage room, with cold faces, staring warily at every stranger who tried to approach the place.

Unlike the well-known auction houses in the market, people in the auction hall look at each other and exchange a few words with people they know. The auction hall of a black market auction house can be described in one word: "quiet"; Two words "quiet"; Three words, "It's so quiet".

When Su Hang walked into the auction hall, the seats in front of the platform were about three-quarters full.

Su Hang's eyes swept away, and he probably judged that this auction hall was full of about 200 people. Excluding the platform area and the guest area, all that remains is the aisle, but it is enough for the black market auction hall.

After all, not everyone is qualified to climb to the third floor, and of course there are some VIPs on the higher floors to participate in more "trench" auctions.

Su Hang found an inconspicuous position and sat down, and looked around when he had nothing to do, the guests in the auction hall were basically cloaks, and except for a few who wore regular clothes, they all concealed their identities to participate in the auction.

A woman in a silver mask, a silver-white robe, and a pair of silver-white boots slowly walked onto the platform, followed by two tall and thin men standing on either side of the platform.

Su Hang sat near the corner, and in front of him were two men in black robes and pure white masks talking in low voices.

"Sir, this auction is presided over by the silver-faced girl, it seems that the black market is paying great attention to it!" One of the two men, a slightly deep male voice, came out.

"I'm only interested in that kind of thing, I don't care who is running the auction!" A magnetic male voice responded.

……

The two whispered softly, like mosquitoes, if it weren't for Su Hang's amazing ear power, they would have thought that mosquitoes were buzzing!

From the simple conversation between the two people, Su Hang knew that under normal circumstances, black market auctions were presided over by women wearing black gauze clothes, and people usually called "black roses", but black roses never specifically referred to a certain person, they would change every time, and black roses never repeated in one area.

The hosts of the black market auctions were women, and they were all graceful and graceful, but they covered their faces with masks, and they couldn't see their faces, but this did not prevent the men from looking at them.

Of course, not all hostesses are the same, and the hostesses of auctions of different grades are also changing, and the usual estimates between 200,000 and 500,000 are ordinary venues, and Black Rose is responsible for presiding over the auction.

The estimate is higher than 500,000, and the one less than one million are hosted by the "silver-faced girl", and the silver-faced girl is according to legend that she is specially trained by the black market.

This time, the black market held a special commemorative edition, and the "silver-faced girls" that are rarely seen in auction houses appeared, which shows the importance that black market auction houses attach to this "commemorative edition".

"Ahh Boom! ”

The door of the auction hall was slowly pulled shut by the security guards guarding the door, and the chandelier on the roof above the platform lit up, illuminating the platform without any light.

"The black market auction starts now!"

Without any nonsense, the silver-faced girl on the stage swept all the visitors on the scene with her eyes and went directly to the auction process, because she knew that everyone who came here came to see the treasures, not to listen to her nonsense.

The silver-faced girl gestured to the manservant not far away, and the other party turned away from the platform, and took a tray covered with a square scarf from someone who didn't know where the light could not shine, and walked back to the girl, and gently placed the tray on the auction table.

"The first lot, the Greenland Deep-Sea Pearl, is ground into a powder that heals corroded skin without leaving scars. Heal most of the traumatic wounds and make your skin better than ever. It has a certain detoxification effect, and most importantly, it can also keep your female companion young forever. ”

"Everyone knows that little Princess Anne wore the Greenland Deep Sea Pearl, and when she died at the age of eighty-five, her appearance remained unchanged like a beautiful girl of twenty years old, and she is still sleeping in her mausoleum, and her appearance has not been corrupted by time."

The charming voice of the silver-faced girl narrated the introduction of the first treasure, the Greenland deep-sea pearl, for the reference of the bidders present.

Stretching out his hand wearing white tulle gloves, he slowly lifted the scarf covering the pearl, and suddenly the light hit the pearl half the size of a palm, and the milky white halo of pearls gave a soft color under the light.

The eyes of everyone in the audience instantly focused on the pearl, and after a short observation, they turned their eyes to the silver-faced girl again.

"Without further ado, the floor price of Greenland deep-sea pearls is 00 pounds, and each increase must not be less than 5,000 pounds." The silver-faced girl saw that her eyes were gathered on her again, and said slowly.

"Auction begins!"

“85000。” A cloaked man in the same row as Su Hang was the first to shout.

“90000。” A woman's crisp voice came from the front row.

“100000。”

“105000。”

The sound of bidding came and went one after another, and it was at this time that it was a bit like an auction house, and it was as if it followed up the cemetery when it was not bidding.

After a while, the bidding gradually decreased, except for the original woman and an old-sounding woman.

"This is my ceiling, 200,000." The woman's crisp voice sounded.

The woman's voice fell, and there was no more bidding, no one was following the price, not even the voice of the unknown old woman.

"If no one is bidding, then this Greenland deep sea pearl belongs to this young lady." The silver-faced girl's coquettish voice rang out again.

After a while, no one was bidding, and the hall returned to its initial quiet.

"Okay, this Greenland deep-sea pearl belongs to this young lady." The silver-faced girl said loudly.

The woman sitting in the first row stood up and walked to the spot where the manservant had just been, hesitating the reason for the light, the area was hidden in shadows, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see what was going on there.

But Su Hang saw it, the lady hiding in the robe took something out of her body and handed it to a person wearing a bat-like half-face mask in the shadows, and after the other party took it, registered it, and handed it back to the lady, she turned around and returned to her seat. At the same time, the Greenland deep sea pearl was sent to the shadowy area.

The first lot at the opening is usually a rare treasure on the market, but it can still be found if it is bought with a lot of money, but since it is auctioned at a black market auction house, it means that the lot itself is not from the right place and cannot be auctioned at major auction houses.

However, in general, most of the items that come to the black market auction house are not properly sourced or illegally sold.

"The next lot is a skeleton from a tribe in Feizhou. As we all know, the god of death believed by the people of Feizhou is the Black Mamba, he is the snake god, he represents death and panic, and his scepter is made from the bones of the most elite warriors of the various tribes of Feizhou. He is believed in by many tribes, and the skull depicts the Black Mamba holding a scepter inspecting his subjects. ”

"The Oswa tribe has believed in the Black Mamba since ancient times, their totems are painted all over the Black Mamba, they are the hidden tribe of Feizhou, and this skull map is from the Oswa tribe."

Volume II: Chapter 35: The Covert Gaze

.

"There is a legend about the skull diagram that if the skeleton is placed on the body of a deceased person, the skeleton diagram will devour the body of the other person, and a human figure will appear on the diagram. The soul then attaches to the diagram when the body disappears. When the Skull Diagram has made a pact with you, it can revive the devoured dead and command the Skeleton subjects of the Black Mamba on the map to fight for themselves. ”

"Legend has it that no one has verified it, but the creatures that have been injured by the skull map have recovered their bodies, which is verified by our black market auction house ourselves."

……

When the silver-faced girl on the stage was explaining the legend of the skull diagram, the two men who were talking in a low voice not far in front of Su Hang started the conversation again.

"Sir, the skull map was stolen a year ago, the Oswa tribe issued a bounty, and now there are a large number of bounty hunters out there looking for it, and even some killers have temporarily played the role of treasure hunters." A deep male voice sounded again.

"The affairs of the Oswa tribe will not bring me any benefit, and I will not waste my time for them." The indifferent voice reached the ears of his companions, and he said again after a change of voice: "They can't keep their ancestors, even if they are looking for them, they still can't keep them." ”

"Still, it's good that you can't find it, that picture is too weird!" The magnetic male voice then spoke again.

"Sir, I heard that the Oswa tribe has sought you?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Didn't you inform them?"

"See the man with the skull on the black cloak on the left in the second row?"

"Sir, the skeleton on his black cloak is unusually conspicuous, and it's hard not to notice." When the words fell, the man was surprised: "He's a bounty hunter of the Oswa tribe!" ”

"You know how stupid your question is this time!"

——————————————————————————

——————————————————————————

People with sharp ears can often get a lot of unknown information, Su Hang's ears seem to have been strengthened, since rebirth, all the organs up and down the body seem to have been evolved, and the hearing of the ears is only one of them.

The two strange bidders in front of them thought that no one could hear their voices if their voices were as small as mosquitoes, and even with the loud explanation of the silver-faced girl on the stage, they still couldn't hide Su Hang's terrible hearing, and their conversation was heard.

——————————————————————————

"Three hundred and sixty thousand pounds."

"Four hundred thousand pounds."

……

In a short period of time, bidding has reached a whopping £1 million, and there are still bidders to this day, with the skull being the most expensive of all the lots ever auctioned.

Su Hang looked at these people like crazy people, thinking that these guys who hide their identities are really rich!

Just when Su Hang was amazed at the financial resources of these invisible rich people, a woman wearing a black rose-patterned gauze skirt and a black half-face mask walked slowly behind him.

Su Hang's ears moved slightly, and before the woman behind him approached him, he heard the sound of light footsteps, not to mention the faint smell of perfume that followed.

"Hello sir! Now it's time for your lot. ”

"You can follow me to the backstage for verification until your treasure is on the stage." The woman in the black dress slowly walked in front of Su Hang and whispered.

"Okay!"

After Su Hang finished speaking, he got up, followed the woman in the black dress and walked towards the shadow behind, bypassing the guest area and walking towards the wooden door on the right side of the platform.

The two cold British strong men in front of the wooden door stood straight and looked straight at the two of Suzhou and Hangzhou who were coming in this direction.

The woman in the black dress was used to it, walked in front of the strong man and waved to each other, signaling them not to get in the way, the two strong men skillfully took a step back to each side, leaving a passage for one person, and completely displayed the wooden door in front of Su and Hangzhou.

The woman in the black dress who led the way walked to the wooden door without saying a word, knocked lightly a few times, and without waiting for any reaction from inside, she directly pushed open the wooden door and walked in, Su Hang followed behind the woman in the black dress and walked in.

The woman in the black dress knocked on the door differently, and she knocked a few times in different positions. Su Hang felt that it should be some kind of signal, used to give different reminders to the people in the room, but it didn't matter to him, he was just an auction and bidding customer.

The mystery behind the door unfolded in front of his eyes as Su Hang stepped into the room.

Simple furnishings, a few old stand-alone sofas and a couch against the wall on the left. Three long wooden tables were placed separately in the center of the room, and several young men in black suits were talking near the tables, and when they saw someone coming in, they immediately cast their eyes on Su Hang, a stranger.

An old man with a wrinkled face stood behind the table examining an object, and directly opposite him was a man in a black cloak standing quietly, Su Hang could not see him, but it was conceivable that he was staring at the object in the old man's hand.

Su Hang estimated that this person who should also be a bidder, and the person who came here to consign his treasure, it seems that the next lot is either his own or the other party's.

On the innermost sofa, there was a middle-aged man with his eyes closed, his eyelids drooping, and he didn't know if he slept or not, and no one in the room paid attention to him, so he leaned on it.

An old man beside the middle-aged man who was wearing a lot of silver hair mixed with a few brown silks, wearing large black-framed glasses that blocked his eyes, saw the woman in the black dress walking in with Su Hang, slightly supported the frame, slowly stood up, and walked behind a long table by himself when Su Hang looked at the people in the room.

After a simple gesture, the woman in the black dress took Su Hang to the old man's side, and after introduction, Su Hang knew that the old man in front of him was an old appraiser from a black market auction house, and he was even older than the appraiser downstairs.

This time, the identification was not as cumbersome as when he was downstairs, and the old man carefully observed the "Eye of the Moon" handed over by Su Hang, and returned it to Su Hang.

After getting the confirmation of the old appraiser, the woman in the black dress looked at Su Hang again and asked, "Sir, do you have anything to explain about the experience of this bracelet?" ”

"I don't know where it came from, and the treasures handed down by the family can no longer be found."

"Yes, sir."

When the woman in the black dress led Su Hang towards the door, Su Hang turned his head to look at the middle-aged man sitting in the innermost part again, he was still leaning there motionless, like a mummy hidden in the shadows.

Su Hang felt uncomfortable from the moment he walked into this room, and he always felt that someone was staring at him. But after turning around, his eyes swept over everyone in the room, and the other party's eyes all had a sense of scrutiny, and the feeling of being on his back was not possessed by these people who had looked at Su Hang.

At the moment when he was about to leave, Su Hang finally realized that the source of the unease came from the middle-aged man who was leaning on the sofa at the bottom and always had his eyes closed.

The moment Su Hang turned his head to look at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man's eyelids hidden in the shadows moved obviously, and the eyes that were about to open brought a lot of pressure to Su Hang!

However, fortunately, Su Hang turned his head in time to look at him and walked towards the door again, and the other party fell silent again, as if the feeling just now did not come from a middle-aged man.

He left the room without looking back, and the feeling of being watched disappeared.

To tell you the truth, that feeling is really bad, it's like being exposed to the ice and snow.

When the woman in the black dress walked out of the room with Su Hang, she happened to witness the silver-faced girl auctioning off the skull picture.

In the end, the skull was obtained by a tall man who was nearly two meters tall and wore a demon mask on his face, and obtained the skull picture for the highest price of 3.5 million pounds so far.

The silver-faced girl waved her hand to the audience, and the woman in the black dress personally sent Su Hang's "Eye of the Moon" to the auction table on the platform.

Without any hesitation, without any rest, I entered the introduction of the next lot as quickly as possible.

"A mysterious bracelet from the unknown realm, like the bright moon hanging in the night sky, when you look at it, its light in the moonlight will envelop you, bringing you the blessings of the moon." The melodious tone of the silver-faced girl resounded through the hall along with her introduction to the "Eyes of the Moon".

"It has a nice name, Eye of the Moon."

"It is one of the few jewels in the world that you can treasure, whether it is displayed in your hidden treasure trove or worn in the hands of some beautiful lady, it will not disappoint you, it ......"

The words of praise are endless, and they continue to praise this bracelet of Suzhou and Hangzhou, praising that there is only one universe and no world, and this is the only one to show in front of this group of photographers.

Su Hang has been listening to the introduction of the silver-faced girl to the bracelet in the audience, and he almost doesn't want to sell it, but fortunately, he knows that this bracelet is useless except for exquisite beauty, and it has no practical effect at all, so it is better to exchange it for real money.

Of course, Su Hang can say this kind of thing, mainly because he still has more precious jewelry stored in the bank than the bracelet in front of him, and he really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks.

I own a priceless and rare jewel. Of course, you can say that you don't care, but if you have never had it, and you don't even have the opportunity to see it with your own eyes, you can't say that you don't care. If you still say this kind of thing, then you are not a god who has no desires, that is, pretending to be thirteen.

After a lot of praise, the silver-faced girl felt that the time was almost up, and if she continued to talk about it, she would not add color to the bracelet, and began to burst the reserve price, 65,000 pounds.

Each increase must not be less than £2,000.

This bracelet from Suzhou and Hangzhou has set the lowest reserve price since the auction began, and it is estimated that there will be no lower lot than the bracelet.

It seems that it is really possible to be said by the appraiser downstairs!

However, when Su Hang got that thing, there was a sudden flash of light, and Su Hang disappeared in front of the eyes of the species.
