Chapter 91: The Auction Scene
Yang Zhi listened to Eddie's offer, and was noncommittal, just picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"This offer is very fair, if you get this information to be auctioned at the auction, this price may not be taken." Seeing that Yang Zhi did not respond, Eddie tried to persuade.
"I can think about it." Yang Zhi put down his wine glass and said, "The price you quoted is still a little higher, I can't accept it, unless you can also attach other information." ”
"For example?" Eddie asked, maybe the number of deals he was talking about was relatively large, and he seemed to be very concerned.
"For example, attach the contact information of the Chaos Insurgency."
Yang Zhi said.
"You wait." Eddie listened to Yang Zhi's words, he tapped the table with his knuckles, and said to Yang Zhi, "You don't have any thoughts about the SCP Foundation, do you?" ”
"Since you know about the Chaos Insurgency, you should know their relationship with the SCP Foundation, are you planning to do anything to the Foundation?"
Yang Zhi smiled and said, "There's no need to say too much about this."
"No, no, no, you may be mistaken." Eddie hurriedly explained, he said, "The relationship between the Foundation and our MCD company is not a ...... Well, it's not a good idea, I don't know which organization you're standing behind you, but if it's against the Foundation, I think the upper echelons of our company might be interested in that. ”
"If you really plan to do something about the SCP Foundation, maybe you can win the favor of the upper echelons of our company, and I may be able to get you some preferential policies."
"That's right." Yang Zhi didn't say it directly, he thought about it for a while, and said, "There is some friction between us and the Foundation, and they have arrested a few of our people, posing a threat to us to a certain extent. ”
"You guys? Can you tell us about the title of your organization? Add asked.
Yang Zhi thought for a moment, and he said, "Alliance of Gods." ”
"Alliance of the Gods?" Eddie's expression looked like a reminiscence, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"Soon, you'll hear that name." Yang Zhi said.
At this moment, a staff member in a black suit who had just taken Yang Zhi's May Fourth pistol for identification walked into the bar, came to Eddie's side, and whispered a few words.
Eddie listened and nodded, and the man in the black suit stepped back behind Eddie.
"Your pistol has been identified, and it is indeed as you said, it has a special reload ability, and this pistol will appear as an auction item at an auction to be held in a while."
"As for the information you want, I'll search for it."
"Now I have some temporary things, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you."
"Let's continue to rest here, and the auction will start in half an hour, you can take a break here before the auction starts, by the way, there is no charge for the wine here."
Eddie said, then he stood up, shook Yang Zhi's hand, and then turned to leave.
Seeing Eddie turn to leave, Yang Zhi looked at the mountain falcon, only to see that the mountain falcon was still staring at the direction where Eddie left.
"What do you think of this person?" Yang Zhi asked the mountain falcon.
"It's not like a human being." The falcon said, twitching her nose and saying, "The smell on his body is not similar to that of a human, but I can smell the residual smell of mechanical oil." ”
"The smell of oil?" Yang Zhi listened, and a thought flashed through his mind.
The falcon nodded, confirming what she had said.
"You're doing a great job, feel like that, feel free to talk to me." Yang Zhi encouraged the mountain falcon and said.
After Yang Zhi and Shan Falcon spent some time in the bar, a staff member who was also wearing a black suit came to the bar and said to Yang Zhi: "Both, the auction is about to start, please follow me to the auction site on the tenth floor." ”
Yang Zhi nodded, and he and the mountain falcon stood up and went to the tenth floor with this staff member.
The three of them used the elevator to reach the tenth floor of the Xisuo Hotel, and the staff led Yang Zhi and the others to a conference hall, the light in the conference hall was dim, and it seemed that there was no light source on purpose, and at the door, a staff member standing at the door said to Yang Zhi: "Do you need a mask?"
Yang Zhi took a look, and there was a dozen masks of various colors in front of this staff member that could cover half of his face, probably prepared so that he would not reveal his identity when bidding for a while.
Yang Zhi shook his head, and he and the mountain falcon stepped forward.
The auction hall covers a large area and can be used as a concert hall, but there are very few people in the auction hall at this time, except for the staff and Yang Zhi, there are only seven real guests.
The mountain falcon has good eyesight, she used the light to see that in front of the venue, there was an elderly man without a mask, she pulled Yang Zhi's sleeve, and said: "I know this person, his name is Charlie Douglas, he is a famous stock investor, it is said that he has assets of more than 60 billion US dollars, I have seen him in the newspaper that the clan took back, but I didn't expect him to appear here." ”
Yang Zhi followed the gaze of the mountain falcon and saw a burly man wearing a navy blue suit and a seventy-year-old man.
"I was in the newspaper and I saw a feature called 'Billionaire in the Field,' a man who lived a very low-key life and had a manor in the western United States, and he liked the pastoral life, and he and his wife Susan had been living there all the time, and he seemed to be very famous in the United States," he continued. ”
Yang Zhi nodded, he looked at Charlie Dow Jones for a moment, and then looked at the rest of the auction participants.
The other six, five men and one woman, were quite old.
Yang Zhi guessed that these people were all successful people in the real world, and because of boredom or interest, they felt interested in supernatural objects.
Yang Zhi and Shan Falcon found a seat in the third row of the auction venue, and at this time, a staff member sent Yang Zhi the auction catalog.
Yang Zhi looked through the catalog and found that there were only three supernatural items inside.
"The Red Knife is a 12-centimeter iron knife of unknown origin, with a handle wrapped in woven leather. Radiometry failed to confirm the age of the blade, but found that the handle was added 2 centuries later. The surface of the knife is rusty and smells of rotting flesh. Detailed analysis has not been able to determine where the odor is coming from.
The Red Knife exhibits anomalous properties after being held in the hands of a sapient subject for a certain amount of time. The time required to trigger varies; The mechanism is unknown.
When the Red Knife is activated, the subject will experience a dream in which they will use the Red Knife to attack one or more individuals, gouging out and devouring the opponent's heart. The scene of the dream is always the location where the subject first holds the red knife, and the victim is usually a person who can be expected to appear at that location. In all cases, subjects were unable to identify their victims. None of the victims were matched to any real person (living or not).
Subjects will invariably experience the dream multiple times, with slight changes in content. Amnestics can reduce or even eliminate this condition, but most subjects experience emotional stress, guilt, and associated psychological trauma. The Red Knife effect can be triggered multiple times, each time creating a new dream. ”
