Chapter 141: The House of Souls (2)

The darkroom is dark, and the surrounding area is lit up with fires. The steps downstairs are made of stone, and the walls are made of stone, which looks like they are old.

"The depth of this underground darkroom is deeper than that of a normal basement, and this may be a negative second floor. But the ventilation is very good, and the amount of oxygen is no problem. Xuan Yuanshan's eyes have returned to normal, and said to Zhou Buxi. I smell the smell of time, no one has been here for a long time. Of course, there should be a person here now. ”

"Be careful, we don't have a name!" As soon as Zhou Buxi's feet hit the ground, he increased the flame in his hand, and the scope of illumination increased.

At this time, there were already stone murals carved on the walls, and looking at the furnishings and spaces here, there should be no mechanism, and the two of them ran boldly. This darkroom is not very large, and it takes only a few steps to reach the end. At the end is a large empty space, using the remaining basement above to increase the height of the entire darkroom. It has an altar-like shape, with two stone pillars standing tall and a statue of what looks like a pharaoh carved into the wall. Two braziers were burning on the left and right, and at the foot of the statue of the pharaoh there was a stone platform on which a beautiful box was placed, but now the box had been opened and was empty.

"Little thief, where to go!" Zhou Buxi saw the figure on the left shaking, and immediately chased after it. grabbed the man by the shoulder.

The man was masked and dressed in night clothes, and he seemed to be prepared, and he was about to flee when he saw that he was caught and broke free. As soon as Xuan Yuanshan's rattan whip came out, he directly trapped his feet, and the masked man was dragged down, and he actually tore open the rattan whip with his own strength, preparing to flee again. Zhou Buxi's electric energy was energized to circle in front of him again, and the two fought like this. Xuan Yuanshan seized the opportunity to help Zhou Buxi, the rattan whip broke through the wind, and the masked man who was being entangled by Zhou Buxi hurriedly dodged, but the rattan whip did not hit him but broke his clothes. Several rolls of paper fell out of his arms, and the masked man found them at the same time and snatched them at the same time. The paper was split in two, and the masked man knew that there was no chance of winning with one enemy and two enemies, and he was unable to move for a long time, so he grabbed half of himself and threw smoke bombs on the ground and quickly left. Zhou Buxi and Xuan Yuanshan were afraid that the smoke would be poisonous, so they did not chase after him. Zhou Buxi looked at the half piece of paper in his hand, on which were written some symbols and words that he couldn't understand, plus the noisy sound on it, tonight's investigation was over.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Zhou Buxi opened a few pieces of paper that he had snatched that were only half of them, although they were only half, they were the size of A4 paper. It was densely filled with symbols and words, as well as some simple drawings, and the only thing that made Zhou Buxi excited was that the pictures on this paper were drawing the soul box. In order to keep his work secret, Zhou Buxi did not tell Zhang Yi about this incident, but only told him that he had returned in vain, and when he was about to sneak in, he didn't know who triggered the alarm, and the entire house was blocked by security personnel, maybe someone who wanted to go in and have a look like them.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhou Buxi and Xuan Yuanshan rushed to their destination in full costume to attend the auction. According to Zhang Yiyi, this auction is not only official, but also will be attended by powerful people from other countries, not to get the house, but simply to observe and make friends. Therefore, Zhou Buxi and Xuan Yuanshan had to change out of their casual clothes and sportswear.

Although Zhou Buxi didn't like this kind of formal dress very much, and he couldn't stop loosening his neckline in the car, he looked at Xuan Yuanshan, who was dressed up by the stylist next to him, and smirked happily.

"What's wrong? Are you laughing at your fart? Xuan Yuanshan asked Zhou Buxi.

"No, no, it's been a long time since I've seen you like this, it's beautiful, you're just too lazy to clean yourself up. There are no ugly women, only lazy women. ”

"Pull it down, how can I have time to mess with myself when I'm running around with you. also said that I was going out every day to clean up and give me half an hour. ”

"Gotta get it, when I didn't say it." Zhou Buxi became serious. "In this auction, there will definitely be people who have a mother religion, so be careful. And the person I met yesterday, I don't know if it's friend or foe. Anyway, this auction is not easy. ”

"So are we going to fight for this room this time?"

"What are you fighting for, you think we have that money. Although the nameless gave a lot of money, in front of those really rich people, we are still poor. Try to pay attention to who cares more about this house. ”

"It's fine." Xuan Yuanshan also agreed with Zhou Buxi's opinion.

Open the door, get out of the car. Unlike last night, when they were guarded by security personnel, today's house is surrounded by a lot of activity, and powerful people from all walks of life and all over the world have come to the same place, even if they don't know Zhou Buxi, but their speech and demeanor are all upper-class style. After all, Zhou Buxi didn't understand the language, and he followed Zhang Yi slowly. Suddenly feeling as if there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at him behind him, Zhou Buxi turned his head sharply and saw that the man with the tattooed face yesterday was standing in the distance staring at Zhou Buxi.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Yuanshan asked Zhou Bunon.

"Look."

Xuan Yuanshan also turned around and saw the man. "Be careful, this man doesn't know if he's friend or foe. He apparently recognized us, and it was a gaze on the prey. ”

"Whatever. Translator Zhang, who is that person over there? ”

"Oh, you say he, he's the head of the well-known opinion security company here. He's also in charge of the security of today's auction, and he's a great guy. ”

"Tell me about it." Zhou Buxi came to be interested.

"The security he's been in charge of hasn't gone wrong. It is said that a year ago, there was a jewelry auction, and he was targeted by a group of robbers, and he killed more than a dozen thieves alone, which is very powerful. ”

"It's kind of interesting." Zhou Buxi took out a cigarette, lit it, turned around and spit out a puff of smoke rings in response and turned around to leave.

This is just entering the outer social circle, and if you want to really enter the auction, you have to check layer by layer, and verify again and again before you can enter the auction venue. After passing through a lot of security checks, Zhou Buxi and Xuan Yuanshan and Zhang Yi took the card and got the card to their seat. It is a relatively backward position, and Zhou Buxi also knows why his position is here, looking at the first few rows of people dressed in the United Arab world, it is not easy for him to come in. But there is still a risk in doing this, because the location is close to the aisle, and all the passers-by look back at Xuan Yuan, and some boldly come up directly to talk. Zhou Buxi's face was gloomy and irritable. Until the seats were almost full, and the men sitting in the first few rows also looked back at Xuan Yuanshan with gentlemanly eyes.

"Handsome guy, I'll just say it, I don't lack people to ask for without you." Xuan Yuanshan teased Zhou Bu and said.

"Yes, yes, how beautiful you are." Zhou Buxi gave her a blank look and responded.

"Are you jealous?"

"Nope!"

"Look at the sour face has changed."

"I didn't!"

"Okay two, here we go." Translator Zhang reminded the two people who joked,

On the stage, a middle-aged man chattered a lot, and Zhang Yi listened to the two of them almost synchronously. The general meaning is that the owner of this house is seriously ill and about to die, and he has no children and no daughters, and this house has high artistic value, and it is hoped that those who have the ability and understand it and cherish it will inherit the house, and all the money obtained from this auction will be donated to the child welfare organization. At the same time, the host also introduced the owner of the house, an old man dressed in local costume sitting on a chair next to him, on crutches.

"Isn't this the old man from yesterday?" Zhou Buxi was taken aback. "Is this a serious illness? It's no problem for this aura to live for a few more decades. ”

"Then he shouldn't be the real owner of the house." Xuan Yuanshan said.

"You know him?" Translator Zhang asked.

"We saw him last night, and he was guarding the back door. No matter how you look at it, I don't want to get seriously ill. Zhou Buxi replied.

"Really? I look like a thin old man, don't I? ”

Zhou Buxi really doubted how this guy got into the Special Security Bureau, it must have been that anyone could enter if the control was not strict at that time. Squinted at Zhang Yi, he didn't say much.

Then the host said that for the sake of safety and for the sake of the seller, everyone will not be allowed to enter the room at will, and some photos taken on the spot will be displayed. The projector behind him began to put various photos on it, and Zhou Buxi knew that it was all fake, and it looked like it was disguised.

"Now now, the auction begins!"
