Chapter 283: The Auction Begins
In the evening, at the Regent Hotel, Lu Mingfei, who had finished another day's trip, rubbed his ankles, which were not very tired, but just felt a little sore.
Since it was an encounter with his old classmates after a long absence, and he had been pigeon for I don't know how many times before, now Lu Mingfei has no reason to refuse the invitation of the girls to play together.
Accompanying a girl to go shopping is a physical job, even if it is nothing to him now, but it is the character of a girl who jumps out and wants to play a play, or makes him feel a little tired when his mentality is no longer a teenager.
In the hotel room, Mai was walking back and forth in her high heels, and the black and white maid dress was worn on her again. This maid's dress has been changed to a more slim fit than the original loose one, and the skirt is also much shorter, revealing the absolute realm of clothing to bring a strange sense of charm to her.
But Lu Mingfei is used to it, because Jiude Mai has been dangling in front of him like this for the past few days.
"That girl and her family seem to be here for the auction too, right?" Mai Yutoku, who was cleaning, asked, although she didn't follow quietly without interest, but she still heard about it.
"Hmm." Lu Mingfei nodded, "It seems that a lot of invitations to that auction have been issued, and it is not impossible for ordinary people to get their hands on it." ”
Speaking of this, Su Xiaoqiao's intention made him a little surprised. In a small talk, she mentioned that she came to Yanjing with Su's father to participate in an auction and traveled casually. And the auction that can be held in Yanjing at this time period doesn't need to think about it to know that it is the same one who invited his parents.
But it's not strange to think about it, although Su Xiaoqiao's business is deficient compared with some well-known domestic companies, it is not bad, and there is no problem in receiving an invitation letter. Aside from the fact that the apparent provenance may be gray, the purpose of this auction is clearly not just to buy and sell antiques.
And the investigators of the Russian Federation, led by Kristina, obviously did not just come to recover these antiques.
But these things have nothing to do with him for the time being, although it is a little late to say now, but he has tracked the traces of his parents...... At least on the surface. Although the word "parent" may now be put in double quotation marks, and the invitation may also be sent to him personally. But he didn't mind checking it out.
……
In a courtyard in the suburbs, Tang Wei, who seemed to have been in a daze for a long time before recovering, was full of confusion. He looked sideways at the familiar courtyard and confirmed that it was the one he had rented earlier.
It was a long time before he moved his aching limbs, but the confusion on his face was even worse. He seemed to remember that he was on a mission with his teammates recruited from the Hunter Market.
During the period, it seemed that everything was not going well, and the black hand behind the strange incident in Yanjing had not heard that any of them had been found out by that team, and the reward was revoked. Just when he and his teammates were disappointed, a user in the Hunter Marketplace expressed interest in the information they had gathered and was willing to pay a large amount of money for it.
The price given by the other party is definitely not comparable to the price of the previous bounty, but it is not low, and it is undoubtedly a pie in the sky for them now. So without thinking about it, they sold all the information in their hands. After receiving the money, his teammates who had not worked in vain went back happily, and before leaving, they said that they would have the opportunity to work together again next time.
And he himself, as well as his younger brother, also got a lot of money. Even counting the previous investment, this operation is definitely a big profit for them. But why did he feel so strange when he rubbed his shoulders that were a little sore, and the little brothers who were so tired as if they had been caught digging sand?
The phone rang, startling him as he brood, the caller was his usually long-winded father.
"Okay, you three babies! Finally dare to answer the phone, right? Tell me honestly, are you out there doing something bad again! ”
As soon as the phone was connected, the loud voice on the other side exploded, and there was no appearance of an elderly man at all. But if you listen closely, the voice on the other side seems to be a little panicked.
However, Tang Wei, who was upset, didn't notice it, and he replied a little impatiently: "Didn't I tell you not to call me these days?" My company's business is inconvenient for foreign exchanges, and you don't know it. ”
"What kind of business can make you not answer the phone for ten days and half a month?" The response from the other side was also very rude, "If you don't answer the phone again, Lao Tzu will think that you have been bought into a black coal mine!" ”
"That's such an exaggeration, it's only been a few days, and that coal mine dares to charge me three less?" Tang Wei, who was a little impatient by the old man's arguing, said this, and then he added, "Don't nag, I'll ...... tomorrow No, I'll go back the day after tomorrow, remember to cook and wait for me. ”
Originally, he wanted to leave tomorrow, but thinking about his body that seemed to be falling apart for some reason, he decided that it would be better to rest for an extra day.
Hanging up the phone, he was a little confused again. Ten days and half a month or something, does he really have to stay here for so long? And this phone call, he has always been with him, why can't he get through when he gets to the old man's side?
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think about it anymore, he looked at the text message on his mobile phone that had been remitted to the account, got up beautifully, and then pulled to a sore muscle somewhere, and the pain on his face shrank like a chrysanthemum in an instant.
……
"Ding! Bite! Bite! The sound of iron striking minerals kept ringing, and the newly dug underground tunnels were filled with the not-so-pungent, but pervasive, smell of earth.
In the dark and bottomless manual excavation passage, Old Tang stuffed back a coal mine that had fallen out of one side and strengthened the soil there with alchemy.
Directly in front of the team, only the Lionheart team was still digging towards a place where they didn't know the purpose. That group of ordinary people had been repatriated not long ago, and now the underground environment is no longer suitable for that group of ordinary people to continue to stay, and this depth has a great impact even on the half-bloods.
The excavator at the front of the line continued to work, but the operator was Lu Shanhiko. Even a servant who is far beyond the half-breed cannot work day and night. Only this time, a hybrid was mixed into this team of completely servants.
Chu Zihang silently waved his hoe and seriously waved at the stones that the excavator in front of him could not take away. Wearing a helmet that may not be useful, his face and body were inevitably stained with mud from his underground work, leaving traces one after another.
There was no one communicating in the tunnel, and for a moment only the sound of machines running.
Stopping the work in his hand, Chu Zihang, who put down the hoe, looked at the time. It was close to six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for him to go back. Looking up at the excavator that was still busy in front of him, he guessed that today was another day without harvest.
As far as he knows, this tunnel excavation has actually been a lot of time now, and during this period, no one has expressed some confusion about Old Tang's plan, including him, but Old Tang has always believed in his choice and has not stopped digging because of this.
Saying goodbye to all the seniors, he took his things and planned to return to the ground, but at this moment, there was the sound of something heavy falling to the ground in front of him, and the excavator seemed to have dug something again.
Stopping his movements for a moment, he followed the others to the front and entered the dark hole. The lights that had been prepared on one side were set up to illuminate the cave in front of them.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of decay, visible to the naked eye, as if it had been closed in an airtight space for a long time, and the colored toxic gases that had accumulated for many years were overflowing, interfering with their vision for a while. The clothes on their bodies had the technique of evolving air, so they didn't need to worry about these poisonous gases, and they waited for a while, and when the fog cleared, they could see the scene inside.
By the light, they could see the rotting railroad tracks on the ground, as well as the broken concrete walls on the rock walls around them. It's not really a cave, it's a long-abandoned underground railway. It stands to reason that there are unlikely to be man-made structures at this depth, so the origin of this tunnel is a bit odd.
"Is it here that the old tunnel was shaken down by crustal movements such as earthquakes?" Some people guessed so.
Someone shook his head: "It's unlikely, if that's the case, it should be directly crushed." ”
"The magic response is very weak, it shouldn't be the place we are looking for......"
……
"Here...... I think I've seen it. In the midst of discussion, Chu Zihang said. He walked over to a point in the tunnel and wiped the dirt from it, revealing some familiar numbers underneath.
"I've seen it in that Nibelungen," he said. ”
He had an excellent memory, and after he was lost in the Nibelungen in the subway tunnel, he observed and remembered his surroundings all the time. And this number, as well as the architectural style of the tunnel, undoubtedly gave him the feeling of returning to the Nibelungen.
"It seems that I have finally found ......" Old Tang, who had walked forward alone for a distance before, came back, with a little excitement on his face, "This is the 'prototype' (proto) of the Nibelungen that Chu Boy entered before." ”
The Nibelungen of dragons did not arise out of thin air, and its construction must refer to the products of the real world. The Nebelungen beneath Mesopotamia is a reference to the temple that was also underground, and the coastal is the unfinished Viaduct No. 10. And the White Emperor City is a bit special, that is, it actually existed in the first place, but was moved to the Nibelungen. And now the tunnel that appeared under the ground where there should not be a man-made structure seems to be the prototype of the previous Nibelungen.
"Okay, the long prelude is finally over, and now it's finally time to get to the point." Old Tang clapped his hands and called his younger brother outside the entrance of the cave, "Let me see where that sister of mine is hiding." ”
……
Townsend was a little bored and puzzled at the same time. As far as they knew, the Dragon King had died, and the people of the Kassel Academy had already evacuated one after another. But that Monkey King still hasn't given any orders, and he doesn't even show up or contact them very little. He had reason to believe that the other party might have forgotten about them.
Pulling out his phone, he was hesitant to ask another gentleman in the family, when his companion reminded him to look outside: "Those three guys are moving!" ”
Tang Sen approached the window, and the three Monkey Kings had made them stare at the guys, if not sneaky, were quite suspicious to board the vehicle, looking like they were all setting off, planning to go somewhere. This was the first time they had observed each other.
After hesitating for a moment, Townsend sent an email to the Monkey King. The other party only gave him this contact information, and their daily reports were as unresponsive as if they were in the sea, which was also the reason for his suspicion that they had been forgotten.
But this time it's different," I see. The other party responded with three simple words, but when he finally replied, Tang Sen was a little tired, and he felt that he could see the laziness revealed on the other party's monkey face mask.
At the same time, they were downstairs.
"Mr. Adam, we've already started to act, the target is the little girl that the old guy in Brin is optimistic about, and the aftermath will be handed over to you......" Oginez finished editing the message and sent it to a specific mailbox, until the three words "got it" sent from the other side, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, they have to admit that they were undoubtedly right to accept the help of Mr. "Adam" in the first place. They know that Brin has forces in Russia, at least in Moscow, but that Mr. Adam can make Brin's forces like a blind man and let them swagger out of Moscow, which in itself shows that this gentleman has the ability to equal, or even surpass, Brin.
Knowing this made them panic for a while, and it was undoubtedly extremely unwise to cooperate with such a mysterious force. But in addition to asking them to pay attention to the movements on the Moscow side, the other party left them aside and left them alone, which made them confirm that the other party's purpose was only the forces behind Brin, and he was not even interested in Brin, let alone them.
Glancing at each other and nodding to each other with the two companions in the back seat, Oginez started the car, it was time for them to recoup some interest from the old Brin guy first.
……
Night is gradually starting to fall, and the roads are blocked all over the country during the rush hour. Although far from the city center, along the Yanjing North Canal, which is also not much better, there are also many vehicles blocking the road. The already congested roads on weekdays, coupled with the tourists who have crowded in recently, have blocked the roads tightly. In this way, passers-by on the side of the road can't help but start to congratulate themselves on the wisdom of choosing to walk.
On the other side of the North Canal, a corner that is a bit chilly even during the tourist season, it is now bustling with people.
