Two million, which is the current price of the photo album left by the last Tsar. The auction quickly reached twice the lowest auction price, much to the surprise of many. Perhaps due to the atmosphere, many guests who were still waiting also raised signs.

"Two million four hundred and fifty thousand." Her face was still calm, and when the colleague who was acting as an interpreter next to her finished quoting the price, Christina put down her No. 7 sign, and she breathed a sigh of relief after the price was quoted.

Even if she is from high society, it is not that she has never seen someone spend money lavishly, but shouting out so much money in one breath is still a little unimaginable for her from a clean and honest family. If you haven't been trained in the academy's expressions, you might be a little restless now, right?

The hand hidden under the seat couldn't help but clench, and the carefully dressed nails pierced into the palm. She smiled indistinctly, mockingly. Wealth like this, which the vast majority of ordinary families may not be able to obtain in their lifetime, may not even be able to exchange for an admission ticket here. And she actually wanted to pull such a person off the stage, even she felt that her behavior was a bit too funny.

The auction continued, and the price of 2.45 million made many people hesitate again. Seeing this scene, the people at Christina's table breathed a sigh of relief, and used nearly one-tenth of the funds in the treasury at one time, which made them a little embarrassed.

But they all know that this is just the beginning, and the "official" auction items that are still to come will only be more expensive than the current ones! That's why they didn't go out of their way in front.

"Two ,450,000 dollars at a time!" The auctioneer shouted for the first time, and he looked around the hall, taking a special look at the VIPs on the second floor, hoping that someone there would break the price.

But no one answered from the audience, and even No. 23, who had become rich before, did not continue to bid under the signal of his fellow female companions, and the VIPs who seemed to be interested in this auction item were completely silent.

There was a slight disappointment in his heart, but the auctioneer, who couldn't show it on the surface, still shouted happily for the second time. But just as he was about to shout a third time, someone held up a sign in an inconspicuous corner at the back of the hall.

】

"Two and a half million."

Two hundred and five, this number is a bit of a scolding word in Huaxia. While most people at the scene may think that he was unintentional, after all, the minimum markup request is there, but there is no shortage of people who think he did it on purpose.

Christina turned back in disbelief and saw that Lu Mingfei behind her was making an apologetic gesture to her. To outsiders, this is like an apology after snatching love, but this is an auction, a place where money speaks.

Rather than deliberately stirring up the situation, Christina prefers to believe that he is genuinely interested in the lot. After eye-to-eye contact with their equally surprised colleagues, they decided to give up the lot. Their destination is just a ticket, and there's no need to stumble.

"This gentleman of the seventeenth bid two and a half million, is there no higher?" The auctioneer shouted for the first time, and there was still a lot of discussion in the audience, but no one continued to shout. There are even many people who think that this young man, who has not shown much before, is a drag, and deliberately shouts when he is cold.

"Two million five hundred and fifty thousand."

When the auctioneer shouted for the second time, someone continued to bid, and the bidder was an elderly man who had just put down the phone, as if he had raised money. He is more like a university professor than a rich businessman, and this time he may have come to find something unknown, and this photo album meets his requirements.

"Two million six hundred and fifty thousand." Lu Mingfei continued to raise his card, and this time the price jumped to 100,000, which attracted a sideways glance from Su Xiaoqiao next to him.

Against the gazes of the others looking here, she quietly leaned over and whispered, "If you bid like this, Uncle Lu, they won't say anything?" ”

Lu Mingfei came instead of Lu's father and mother, and he had told Su Xiaoqiao before. And it's no surprise that archaeologists would be interested in some artifacts and spend a lot of money on them. With their status as archaeologists and their mysterious style, such a statement is easy to accept.

At least, Su Xiaoqiao believed it.

"No problem, 2.8 million." replied casually, Lu Mingfei quoted another price, and jumped 100,000 directly above the other party's offer.

The other party hesitated a little, and took out the phone directly when the auctioneer shouted, and said something to the other side with an excited expression. But even if he said that his face was red and the sky was falling, the person who looked like an investor on the other side still did not add funds.

"Two million eight thousand for the third time! Congratulations to the seventeenth buyer! The auctioneer had some regret about the hammer drop, he had thought that the situation would be a little more intense.

Lu Mingfei also took back the sign with some regret, and he also thought that there would be a show that would come out in the future to stage a drama of doubling the price. His bookkeeper is already eager to try behind the computer, ready to give his royal daughter a belated Children's Day present. Although it costs her money to shoot no matter which side it takes, this does not prevent her from showing others that her mother is not short of money.

In the backstage of the hall, Boss Lin, who had disappeared for a while, watched the situation in the front hall silently. The gray boy stared at the lively people, not knowing what to think.

Unlike the lively interior of the resort, the silence on the North Canal outside. In the moonlight rising into the air, only the occasional fishing boat passed by, casting curious glances at the brightly lit manor before slowly moving away.

On the side of the manor, on the dock full of luxury speedboats, the security personnel on the pier yawned profusely, and continued to patrol the dock with their companions with flashlights in some boredom.

Even those wealthy businessmen, who may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, have kept someone to take care of their yachts, but as the organizer's security personnel, their routine inspections are indispensable.

In groups of three, the security personnel with flashlights carefully checked, and the people who yawned before also cheered up and completed the patrol task seriously. Although their boss is a little bit rich, he gives them a lot of wages, and if he loses this job that pays far more than his peers because of a trivial matter, he might as well jump into the North Canal and drown.

There was a reflection of the moon on the surface of the river, which was a bit dazzling, and there seemed to be something on the surface of the water that shook with it.

The man who spotted this gestured to his companion, and approached it with some alertness. After a while, he reluctantly picked up a plastic drink bottle from the water. It could have been dropped by a passing ship, or by an unscrupulous person on a luxury yacht.

Throwing the trash into the trash can on the side, the security personnel patrolled to the next location. After they left, the calm surface of the river rippled, and a head gently poked out of it. After that, some people poked their heads out one after another.

……

Chu Zihang quietly hid in a corner, and just now, a subway passed by him, pulling the horn and slowly entering the station. He sat behind and observed silently, no one came out of the open door of the subway, and naturally no one got on the platform where the subway stopped in front of him.

However, this did not prevent it from continuing to run, and after waiting for a while after the subway that looked empty on the outside, Chu Zihang walked out of the hiding place silently. The bright and familiar platform was near, but he hesitated. The reason is also very simple, this place is a little different from the Nibelungen he knew before.

Everything here is not similar to the Nibelungen he had experienced before, only exactly the same. But there was an inexplicable intuition that there were still some details of Mohu telling him that if he continued to move forward, what he saw might not be what he wanted to see.

But he didn't hesitate for long, he checked the equipment on his body, prepared for battle, and stepped on it quietly.

The lights were getting closer and closer, and there were more and more snack bags he had seen before. But what is different is that the style of these bags is somewhat new, and it is not quite the same as the old-fashioned packaging that has disappeared for a while on the platforms I went to before. Because there were people in the team who often carried snacks some time ago, he remembered this very well.

An empty bag of potato chips gurgled in front of him, causing him to stop for a moment. He could clearly feel that there was no wind in the tunnel now, and it was still a little scary, and it was impossible to move these fluttering little things.

Then the answer is very simple, it was thrown down. And the other party didn't hide it at all, and quietly gave him a plan to do it, and jumped out generously.

"Senior brother, you're here, do you want a bag of potato chips? Cucumber flavored, I highly recommend you to try it. ”

Wearing a hospital gown, like a ...... No, it was definitely Natsumi, who was sneaking away from the ward, greeting him with a small snack that he also secretly bought. The state of energy is as good as it was a few days ago.

……

"Ten million times!" The auctioneer, who had not been lost for a long time, felt that today must be his lucky day, and the price of tens of millions of dollars appeared at the auction he led, which would undoubtedly make him wake up laughing from his dreams for several nights in a row.

The item that is now being auctioned is the last item of the auction, also from modern times. And there is a close connection with the photo album of the last Tsar's family that caused a storm before.

This is a metal cross pendant, and unlike the usual cross, this cross has two extra horizontal lines at the upper and lower ends. The upper horizontal line is shorter and parallel to the horizontal line of the cross. The lower one is longer, but it is crooked.

This is a cross commonly used by the Russian Orthodox Church, and it seems not surprising that it appears in the artifacts of the Romanov dynasty. On the contrary, the cross, which is a bit too plain, looks out of place when compared to the ornate jewels that were sold at the same auction.

But that can't hide the admiration people have for it, so much so that it has been pushed to the height of tens of millions of dollars. And until now the price has continued to grow upwards.

For no other reason than the cross, which was used by the demon monk Grigory Efimovich Rasputin, who confused the Tsar's court.

The demon monk Rasputin, there are too many legends about him. Presumably the most attractive of these were the rumors that he had all sorts of ladies and ladies from the upper echelons of St. Petersburg's nobility at that time, and even those of high status in the imperial palace.

Legend has it that his blue eyes have a magic that women can't get rid of at a glance, and because of this, countless Russian girls have suffered. And through this ability, he became friendly with Nicholas II's family, and their relationship was so close that there were even rumors that he controlled the Tsar's family.

Whether these rumors are true or not is not verifiable today. But as for the identity of Lasps, the Kassel Academy also has its own explanation.

There is no doubt that Rasputin is a half-breed. It is also a powerful hybrid with an extremely strong bloodline, who has been assassinated many times, who has not been killed by four shots, who is useless in potassium cyanide diet, and who can still move normally even if he is seriously injured.

Although hypnotic spirits are not very common, if their holders have bad intentions, the consequences are undoubtedly disastrous. Rasputin used his own ability to act recklessly, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the Romanov dynasty. And Masashi Toyama became a doctor, paying attention to the mental health of thousands of teachers and students of the Kassel Academy.

But putting these aside, the hall became feverish, and it could even be said that it was a scene out of control, which made Lu Mingfei feel funny. The reason why they would pursue a "holy object" in such a way was not incomprehensible to think about it, but it still seemed a little funny to him.

Possession of traitors, liars, thieves...... Rasputin is not a true saint. But such a person, with a simple and somewhat over-the-top cross, and was properly kept by the Tsar's family, and even escaped the seizure of later generations, is very suspicious in itself.

So after the auctioneer said that the cross might have something to do with hypnosis, healing, prophecy, immortality and other abilities that Rasputin had once performed, the atmosphere was feverish.

The bidders also don't think about why they have to wait until now to be taken out if those abilities are really related to this cross. Maybe they all think that they are the ones who are swept up by fate. After all, there is no shortage of superstitious people in any country.

"Maybe it's because I don't know the dream, the outcasts chase the phantom ......" In the hall that was a little irritable, Mai Jiu De sang a cappella in a low voice, and she looked at the owner of the No. 23 plate in the middle of the hall, her eyes were full of pity.

She shook her head slightly, looked at the cross on the auction stand, and changed her expression to mockery: "A drowning person will always subconsciously grab something around him, hoping that thing can save his life, but the one he is holding on to now is not even a water weed." ”
