Chapter 6: You Are the Wind and You Are the Sand (1)
The night shrouds the bustling city, even at night, the city does not have the slightest meaning of rest, the lights are bright, the drunken gold, the high-rise buildings become a night place for people to release their hearts and relieve stress.
A gust of wind lifted from the ground, and the wide black robe left a shadow, and one foot stepped on the street.
The black-robed man walked alone on this slightly quiet street, like a lonely walker.
Because of the blockade of the road in front of the elegant company, the flow of people on the adjacent street has also been greatly reduced, and even the high-end stores with brilliant decorations are now crowded.
A strange scene happened behind the black-robed man, whether it was the pedestrians on the street or the shopkeeper in the store, they were all frozen and turned into crystal ice sculptures.
Two women wearing heavy makeup walked out, one who was slightly sane supported the other who had obviously drunk too much, and he was wearing a short skirt and suspenders on a not warm day.
The faint smell of perfume remained on the black robe, and the two women passed by the black-robed man.
At the moment when he passed by the black-robed man, the blue color was like a vine with strong vitality, climbing up the white long legs of the two women, spreading towards the whole body.
Ice sculptures cast the streets into a dead silence and made the already cold weather even colder.
"Sir, you can't get through here, let's take a different path." A strong security guard stretched out his hand to stop the black-robed man who stepped onto the street where the elegant company was located, and his tone was quite polite.
Behind the security personnel was the yellow cordonade, and not far behind the cordon, there were more than a dozen security personnel, who were standing in front of the car, looking in this direction and chatting.
Seeing that the black-robed man didn't speak, and he didn't mean to leave, the security officer furrowed his eyebrows: "Sir, this road is not passable." ”
Probably disturbed by the excessively high voice, the huge robe and hat turned slightly sideways, and then, the black-robed man slowly raised his head, and the dark blue ghost light lit up from the darkness, cold and deep.
"You, you, you ......" the security guard stuttered from the horror.
In the next second, the black-robed man raised his right hand, and crystal blue blood vessels bulged out from the back of his hand and spread to his whole body, like a large blue net written on his body.
Blue, a cold blue appeared, spreading from the feet of the black-robed man to all directions, eroding the ground, eating away at the store, and the tall buildings that were clearly not intended to be spared.
The low temperature was like a nightmare in the dark, extending the tentacles of death to the two streets in front of and behind the black-robed man.
With a cup of tea, both streets were almost completely covered in a cold ice blue, and the flickering ice light and rising cold air turned the place into a hell of death and cold.
On the same street, Chen Yuetong, who is the current Lord of Water, and Chen Tao, who is the previous Lord of Water, did not find out what the Water King Hall was doing at all, which not only became the most bizarre place.
"Caught up." The black-robed man stopped in front of the elegant company, the only high-rise building on the street that had not been invaded by ice blue.
If the eyesight is good enough, those who stand here will surely notice that hundreds of meters in the air, under the cover of night, darkness haunts the tall buildings in circles.
This is real darkness, the light from the outside does not shine in, and the light from the inside does not shine through.
It was that circle of darkness that shielded the perception of Chen Yuetong and others, obviously, someone was helping the Water King Palace, and the only one who could not be discovered by the Lord of Darkness Yichen was the Dark King Palace.
Looking up at the skyscraper, the black-robed man walked towards the induction door with ice sculptures "standing guard", and the ice-blue and death-like servants who had already been ready to invade the high-rise building followed closely behind the black-robed man.

At the auction site, with the masked man taking the lead, VIPs got up one after another and walked down the aisle towards the VIP passage.
Yichen saw Wells Augustine on the No. 4 card, the "Monkey King" on the No. 41 card, and the woman with long fuchsia hair on the No. 18 plate, and what surprised him the most was the beautiful man, and the brand in his hand turned out to be No. 1.
In addition to this, there were eighteen distinguished guests, and at Andrei's reminder, he noticed the white woman with a strong figure on the thirty-one.
Dora Jie, the leader of the Heavenly Serpent Group, and the team she brought with her is the Iron Snake Group.
Gorman withdrew the hand that was pressed on Yichen's shoulder, and the originally good mood was pulled down the moment the masked man got up, and the speed of turning his face was indeed faster than turning a book.
Watching the VIPs walk towards the passage, Youde secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is what the super-rich should be.
That's right, the super-rich have a lot of confidence in the development of the energy contained in the "Heart of Energy", in this society, there is no top-notch technology that cannot be bought with money, and if it cannot be bought, it is not well spent.
I don't believe that if you invest money, you won't be able to develop the technology of developing the "heart of energy", and it's a big deal to invest tens of billions more, which is the voice of almost all the billionaires who participated in the auction.
In their opinion, as long as they can research and develop technology, no matter how big the investment is, it is worth it, but they also know that if they can't research it, it will be a loss.
At this moment, the super-rich have become a group of gamblers, a group of gamblers who want to gamble big.
"Are you sure you can pass the appraisal just by showing this card to others?" Before leaving, Yichen once again confirmed to Gorman that he didn't want to make a fool of himself, and he didn't want to be "invited" out in a way that he cared for the mentally handicapped.
Gorman nodded: "Part of the funds in this card can be displayed in large financial institutions such as Seymour, Citibank, and Bank of America, which is more than enough to ensure that you pass the customs." ”
Yichen has a lot of reassurance, Seymour's full name is JPMorgan Dagen Group, which is a large financial company that occupies a quarter of the deposits in the United States, and Citibank and Bank of America are both existences that can wrestle with it.
With the proof of funds from these three well-known financial institutions, it is indeed not difficult to pass a qualification appraisal.
The VIPs who carried out the qualification appraisal disappeared in the VIP channel under the "flock" of many eyes, while those VIPs who did not conduct the qualification appraisal still stayed at the auction site.
Although elegance deprived them of the right to auction, it also retained their right to be spectators.
A group of top billionaires completely became spectators at the auction site at this moment. In other words, in the next auction, they will be indistinguishable from the members of the team they are bringing with them.
The bidders have become spectators, and it has to be said that this is the biggest failure in the brilliant lives of the top rich, but they would rather leave a shame in their lives than watch this auction to the end.
If they can't make history, then they will witness history as an irrelevant person, which is their bottom line.
In a quiet and tense atmosphere, everyone waited silently.
Some people hope that there will be more people who have passed the appraisal, some people will hope that there will be fewer people who have passed the appraisal, and some people hope that all the people who have passed the appraisal will pass.
Fifteen minutes later, the distinguished VIPs returned from the VIP channel and all passed. Obviously, the VIPs are very accurate in their positioning and dare to conduct qualification appraisals, and the property will naturally be above the starting price of the "heart of energy".
As soon as he returned to his seat, Yichen turned his head and took out the black . card, with a "I actually believe your nonsense" gaze, asked: "Director Brunny, didn't you say that there are only four cards of this kind?" ”
Gorman nodded, "That's right. ”
"And I just saw three more?" Yichen said.
Just now he put the black. When the card was handed over to the staff, the staff in charge of the identification showed a strange look and muttered, "Why is this kind of card again?"
Driven by curiosity, he asked the staff. The staff told him that he was the fourth VIP to take out this kind of card, and pointed to the three VIPs who had not yet left.
Sure enough, in the hands of the three distinguished guests, Yichen saw the same black as his. Card. Moreover, those three VIPs happened to be the people he was more impressed with, Wells Augustine, Leigh, and "Monkey King".
"Three plus one equals four, I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Gorman spread his hands.
"You mean there are only four of these 'awesome' cards, and they all appear here?" Yichen pointed downward, although there was an airline seat below, but the "subordinates" knew that he was talking about the auction.
Gorman kept his hands outstretched: "Is there a problem?" ”
"Uh-" Yichen was speechless, as if it was true as Gorman said, there was no problem.
If there is a problem, it must be the mysterious "Monkey King".
Wells is a member of the Augustine family, and he knows the Augustine family, as the largest family in the world, its financial resources have definitely reached the point of being rich and rivaling the country.
The existence of the Ming Xuan is not a secret in the rookie club, as the highest power center of the club, the Ming Xuan is composed of six Xuan masters and hundreds of Xuan members, and there are two kinds of meetings, the Standing Xuan Club and the Destiny Xuan Society, and the Seven Lotus Tower Lord is responsible for presiding over it.
If it was just a conference body, it would certainly not be possible for Mingxuan to become the highest center of power in the rookie club.
The reason why the real mission Xuan can lead the club is that the country standing behind each person, yes, there are six Xuan masters and hundreds of Xuan members, each of whom represents a country!
It is not so much a meeting of 100 people as it is a meeting of 100 nations! World Conference!
And the young woman with long purple hair, Li, was one of the Destiny Xuan, and one of the six Xuan Lords, and the youngest.
Therefore, there is this kind of "awesome" black for Wells and Leigh. Card, Yichen doesn't think it's inappropriate, but what is the origin of that Mr. Sun Wukong?
Could it be another Xuan Master? Yichen felt that only this possibility was the most reasonable.
Youde had a smile on his face, with so many VIPs participating in the auction, the transaction price of the "Heart of Energy" would definitely not be low.
It's just a pity, if it weren't for the fatal scientific and technological problems, the "Heart of Energy" would definitely fetch a sky-high price, as the VIPs thought before, trillions of dollars are only worthy of the starting price of the "Heart of Energy".
But it doesn't matter, even if the price is not so high, the "Heart of Energy" is still the most expensive lot in auction history, enough for him to go down in the history of auctions.
"Alright, everyone, let's move on to the highlight of the auction, the 'Heart of Energy' auction! The auction is still presided over by our beautiful Miss Helworth, so let's give the stage to Miss Helworth and the bidding guests with a round of applause! Youde took the lead in applauding and stepped back away from the auction table.
