0102 Eye of Eternity
Laura's expression looked like she wanted to see a joke. Fu Hao looked at that expression and thought to himself, in terms of identity, he is definitely Laura's boyfriend.
Fu Hao, "Beauty, I'll help you out." ”
Laura upturned the corners of her mouth and said, "Oh, I'm so grateful. I really want to know how you got out, though. Well, you look at these people. She leaned into Fu Hao's ear and said, "Who else do you think here would want to pay two million pounds for a clock?" ”
If someone offers a higher price, then Fu Hao will get out.
Fu Hao, "I forgot that the bell was taken by that stupid guy just now." ”
Laura, "Ah, okay, okay. I admit that you saved me. But how do you get out of it now? ”
Fu Hao looked at the smiling beauty and said, "Do you believe that someone immediately offered a high price to save me?" ”
Laura shrugged and said, "Someone would pay more than two million pounds for that clock?" ”
Fu Hao, "Wait." ”
Laura was about to speak again. In the back row, there is an aristocratic woman wearing a lace hat with a large brimm, raising a folding fan in her hand.
The auctioneer on the rostrum in front of him immediately shouted, "Two million and one hundred thousand pounds." The lady bid £2.1 million! ”
Fu Hao shrugged, "Look. ”
Laura, "uh......"
Immediately after, a man in a white wig not far away raised his hand.
The auctioneer on the rostrum shouted, "Two and two hundred thousand! Two million two hundred thousand!! ”
Immediately after that, another lady in the back row raised her hand.
The auctioneer shouted, "That lady, two million and three hundred thousand!" ”
"Two million four million!"
"Two and a half million!"
Like the cannon, there are constant offers.
In the end, the bell was auctioned for 2.5 million pounds. Laura leaned back in her chair with a strange expression.
Fu Hao, "Didn't I guess too accurately!" Today is also regarded as a hero who sacrificed his life to save the beauty. ”
Laura smiled and spread her hands.
These two people seem to be relatively easy to quarrel with. But there are very few words of mutual admiration.
Therefore, Fu Hao heard the prompt, "Congratulations, Laura's favor for you has increased by fifteen points." ”
By this time, Wilson, an archaeologist who was at the auction, had stepped down from behind.
Laura pulled her leg off her chair and said, "Excuse me." ”
"Oh." Fu Hao also got up, "I'm just fine." Come with you. ”
Laura looked back at him and smiled strangely, "Rare, how can you have time to be willing to be with me?" She then spread her hands and said, "Okay." Whatever you want. ”
The two shouted at the auctioneer, "Two and a half million pounds!" Two and a half million! Deal! "When you go out.
Mr. Wilson was an old man in his sixties. He held a notepad in one hand, "Laura, my dear. ”
The two embraced. Laura was clearly close to him. The two kissed on the face.
Wilson glanced at the auction that was still going on behind him and said, "Laura, go to my study." It's quieter there. ”
Fu Hao followed them.
In Wilson's study, there were clocks almost everywhere. All kinds of swinging metal toys fill his study. This raises doubts about whether he was an archaeologist or a watchmaker by profession.
He carefully opened the cloth bag that Laura had handed him on his desk.
Inside is a palm-sized disc with a hollowed-out eye in the middle of it.
Because it is hollowed, it is underneath the eyes. You'll see flames swimming like water. Like some kind of soul.
Wilson, "Laura ...... This is truly rare in the world. ”
Laura's appearance was much stricter. She reached out and opened the lid on the disc and said, "Only one disc is spinning, glowing, like an eye." ”
Wilson looked inside the uncovered lid. There is a pointer that is slowly turning. There are circles of markings around it.
Laura paused for a moment and continued, "I think it's getting brighter." And unlike the clockwise direction we often know, it seems to be turning counterclockwise. ”
Wilson looked back at Laura in some surprise. The Nizi had apparently looked at the thing closely, "I don't think it's like something to keep time." It's like a countdown. ”
Wilson, "You're ...... Right"
Laura continued, "And you look at the back of it. When Wilson flipped the thing over, the back of the disc revealed a toothed triangular shape.
Laura, "I think it's like some kind of key. This notch seems to correspond to something. ”
Wilson was silent, his old face not knowing what was going on, his fingers stroking over the toothy notches, and not speaking.
Laura then said, "In my father's last words, it was said that the triangle of divine power was engraved with the 'Eye of Eternity'. He said that whoever owns it will have extraordinary power to control time. ”
Laura paused and asked, "My father called it the 'Divine Light Triangle', have you ever heard of it?" ”
The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, I haven't heard of it. ”
He shook his head, put down what he was holding, and got up and said, "Your father always does things his way. He was very assertive. It's also remarkable. ”
Fu Hao looked at the old man from behind and felt that he had said too many polite words. Being too polite is sometimes an attitude of rejection of people.
The old man walked over to a wine cabinet, then picked up a bottle of red wine and asked, "Would you like some wine?" ”
Laura smiled and said, "No. Fu Hao also shook his head.
The old man put down the bottle and said, "I don't think I can help you, Laura." I don't know anything about this stuff. This thing is a mystery. ”
The old man's face looked like a mysterious statue in the sunlight shining in from the shutters.
Laura and Fu Hao said goodbye to the old man's study together. Laura didn't speak after that. It seems a little depressing.
Fu Hao, "Your father must have his meaning in leaving this thing." ”
Laura nodded. When she went downstairs, the pair of her chests were standing tall and constantly shaking up and down.
Fu Hao smiled and said to her, "A lot of times, the puzzle is like looking for something. Maybe you can't find it when you want to find it. But when you don't look for it, it will come to you automatically. I call it fate. ”
Laura was in a better mood, she looked at Fu Hao with a smile, her black eyes were as bright as jewels, "Are they just like you?" ”
Fu Hao spread his hands.
He heard a hint in his ear, "Congratulations, Laura's favor for you has increased by five points." ”
The two said goodbye at the door of the auction house. When Fu Hao was leaving, he reminded her, "Laura, you have to pay attention to your own safety. Especially at night. ”
Laura sat on the motorcycle and smiled back, "I can protect myself." You have to be careful. Do you want me to protect you? ”
Fu Hao smiled and didn't say anything. He knew that Wilson had actually lied, and that the news that Laura had the "Eye of the Ages" in her hands would soon be known to another dangerous person. And tonight, the other party will do it.
At this time, Fu Hao heard a prompt in his ear, "Temporary mission: go to Crawford Manor to protect Laura." Successful reward is 2000. Failure Penalty: None. However, Laura has a high chance of being killed. ”
"High chance of being killed?" Fu Hao was a little surprised, according to the original plot, this kind of thing would almost never happen. "It seems that the plot has changed a lot."
Fu Hao then went to the gunsmith and bought a 1911 pistol. This pistol was the most popular rifle in the U.S. Army during World War II.
It has a high hit rate and a great stopping effect. After World War II, the United States specially updated the 92E, which is known as the world's first gun, for the army. But there are still most U.S. troops who chose 1911 for no other reason - 1911 has a higher hit rate and a stronger stopping effect.
Fu Hao bought a total of five magazines and put them on his body. On this night, Crawford Manor will not be peaceful.
