Chapter 41, The Mask

The design of the invitation letter is actually quite ordinary, except for this line of small print, it can be said that there are no bright spots.

"What does that mean?" Shen Ling'er pointed to the small line and asked Lu Zhehan.

Lu Zhehan explained: "Literally, after entering the door, no matter what happens, it is best not to take off the mask. Don't worry, as long as you stay by my side, I will definitely protect you. ”

"In other words, there is a danger in this? However, aren't the people who participated in this auction all bigwigs with heads and faces and money in Shengjing City? Why would they be willing to put themselves in danger? Shen Ling'er was just puzzled.

Shouldn't rich people be more willing to spare their lives?

Why risk the thrill?

Perhaps, that excitement is also really exciting, right?

At least it will be able to catch the appetite of these people.

Lu Zhehan was silent for three seconds and said, "The Zhong family has a special means that allows people to see the deceased. ”

"Do you want to see my sister Shen Jiayi?" Shen Ling'er asked.

In the case of games, it is true that you can ignore the logic of reality.

Maybe this Zhong family really has extraordinary means.

Lu Zhehan was noncommittal, because Shen Ling'er couldn't see his expression because he was wearing a mask.

It wasn't until she entered the door that Shen Ling'er learned that Saitama couldn't enter, and she began to panic.

Shen Ling'er stood in place, refusing to enter the door.

Without Saitama by her side, she really felt insecure.

What if there's really something in there?

Doesn't it mean that people can see the deceased?

This Zhong family is clearly unusual!

So at this time, how can you be separated from Saitama?

Of course, Shen Ling'er was unwilling.

She felt that at this time, she had to hug Saitama's thighs.

Even if you can't push the plot because of this, you must not let go of Saitama's thighs.

So Shen Ling'er said to Lu Zhehan: "If Saiyu doesn't enter, I won't enter either." ”

The Zhong family's requirement is that men and women must be accompanied to enter.

Lu Zhehan had no choice, he couldn't conjure a female companion for Saitama temporarily, of course, even if there was a female companion, Saitama didn't have an invitation, so he could only force Shen Ling'er.

"Ling'er, don't make trouble, this matter is really important to me! As long as you accompany me in, no matter what kind of compensation you want in the future, I will give it to you, and I will never break my word! Lu Zhehan did not hesitate to offer the best conditions to tempt Shen Ling'er.

But it's useless, Shen Ling'er is very sorry for her life.

She already knew that there was danger here, so how could she easily let go of the life-saving straw?

Therefore, if Lu Zhehan is said in a fanciful manner, Shen Ling'er will not agree.

"Lu Zhehan, don't waste your efforts. I said, Saitama doesn't go in, and I don't go in either. I advise you to hurry up and find a way to get Saitama in! Otherwise, it's useless to say anything. Even if you promise to give me the entire Lu Group afterwards, I won't agree. Shen Ling'er's attitude was very resolute.

In the end, Lu Zhehan took off his mask, handed it to Saitama's hand, and said coldly: "Okay, let him replace me, and you can go in together!" I'll go back and wait for your news. ”

"Huh? This, this isn't very good, right? Boss Shen, look at this ......" Saitama took the mask a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.

Shen Ling'er helped him put it on, and then asked Lu Zhehan: "You said before that you had something that you had to get, now you can tell me what it is, and I'll help you get it." ”

Lu Zhehan rejected Shen Ling'er's proposal, he said: "No need, what I want, I will figure it out by myself, so I won't bother Miss Shen." ”

The tone was cold, and even the salutation became distant.

Shen Ling'er, who held Lu Zhehan's five SSRs, always felt that this was not quite right.

However, it is impossible for her to take care of the emotions of the paper man.

Love is precious, and life is even more valuable!

Only by staying alive can there be hope.

When you die, there's nothing.

What kind of favorability, the number of cards will be cleared.

So, you can't die, no matter what, you can't die easily.

So, Shen Ling'er and Sai Yu, holding the number plate that originally belonged to her and Lu Zhehan, entered the No. 2 courtyard of the Zhong family.

Number 04 is an unlucky number.

Because it was night, coupled with the deliberate construction of the Zhong family, the entire courtyard was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

It's as if this is really the border between life and death.

It seems that the living can really see the deceased here.

But is that really the case?

Walking into the No. 2 courtyard of the Zhong family, Shen Ling'er found that the Zhong family seemed to love willow trees very much, and the courtyard was full of willow trees.

Under several extraordinarily tall willow trees, there is also a circle of tree lights, with green lights, willow swaying in the wind, this picture is indescribably weird.

Anyway, Shen Ling'er couldn't appreciate it, she only felt terrible.

"If something strange comes out in a while, it's all up to you." Shen Ling'er whispered to Saitama.

Saitama immediately agreed.

It's just that all the way to the main venue, they didn't encounter anything strange.

The main venue was brightly lit, and the gloomy atmosphere in the courtyard was changed, and as people rushed in, it was also a bit lively.

It's just that everyone wears masks, and each of them also has ghosts, and they rarely communicate, most of them just talk quietly to the people around them.

It's just a bit interesting on the surface.

After Shen Ling'er and Saitama took their seats according to the number plate, she began to look around, searching for Xu Xiuhui's figure.

In the afternoon, she met Xu Xiuhui and saw each other's dress, thinking that she could find Xu Xiuhui soon.

However, after looking around several times, Shen Linger did not find this old acquaintance.

'Xu Xiuhui didn't come? ’

How is this possible?

Xu Xiuhui is dressed so carefully, she didn't come to participate in this auction, can she really go to the shining and warm offline party?

It's absolutely impossible.

Xu Xiuhui must be here, but where is she?

Shen Ling'er looked around again, but the masked people in front of her looked very unfamiliar.

The women are gorgeously dressed and shiny, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.

The men all wore the same suits, but there was only a slight difference in body size.

A total of 12 groups came to the venue, and four of them were men of comparable stature, all of whom were in the best shape.

Shen Ling'er always felt that there were people she knew.

But she didn't recognize any of them.

As for the other eleven women, she didn't find even the slightest sense of familiarity.

Xu Xiuhui didn't come. ’

But how is this possible?

After everyone entered, representatives of the Zhong family came to the center of the stage.

It was a fox-faced girl with a height of about 1.5 meters, she walked lightly, walked to the center of the stage step by step, and then picked up the invitation, smiled and recited the motto above: "Don't take off the mask, if you don't obey, you will die!" ”

Shen Ling'er: "......"

Again, so it's a mystery!

It's boring.

"I'm really going to die! Like, it's ......" the fox-faced girl repeated earnestly, and then saw her take off her mask.

Before everyone could see her face, she died.

Seven orifices bled and died violently on the spot.

The audience was shocked.

The screams of the women rang out one after another, and the men scrambled to their feet.

"What's going on?"

"It's illegal, isn't it?"

"Didn't you say a charity auction? Doing so bloody? ”

……

"Everyone, don't be impatient!" It's still the voice of the fox-faced girl.

I saw that she was "dead" and put on a mask again, and then "lived".

She said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Qi is just showing everyone the consequences of taking off the mask." Scares everyone, right? I'm so embarrassed! Come on, apologize! ”

As soon as the words of the fox-faced girl who called herself "Xiao Qi" fell, a group of black-clothed people who also wore masks walked out on both sides of the stage, each holding a tray with a wine jar and two wine glasses, antique, and red paper was pasted on the wine jar, which said "Daughter Red".

Xiao Qi smiled and said: "Go, send this daughter Hong, who has been stored for eighteen years, to the table of all the guests, if the guests accept, then that's it, if you don't accept it, you will apologize with death!" ”

The first half of her sentence was said with a smile, and the second half of the sentence changed her tone and became cold and fierce.

So no one refused this apology.

No one wants to see the picture of "apologizing with death".

After making sure that everyone had drunk, Xiao Qi clapped his hands again, called out twelve people with white masks, and asked them to stand at each table and serve the guests.

No one refused.

Subsequently, she announced: "Good! Very good! You guys really are the most obedient guests I've ever met! Let's not talk a lot of nonsense, let's get started! ”

"Sale!" Xiao Qi shouted loudly.

So, the first auction item was sent to the stage.

It's a jar of wine, and it's the daughter red on everyone's table.

Xiao Qi introduced: "This jar of wine, different from what you drink, it is the daughter of the Zhong family who has been cellaring for one hundred and eighty years, and now it has given birth to a wine spirit, this wine is good in the world, and it can know everything in the past one hundred and eighty years." If the person you want to see dies in 180 years, take a picture of this jar of wine, drink it, and the spirit of the wine will take you to see it. The starting price is 1.5 million! ”

Xiao Qi said it mysteriously, and the people below naturally couldn't believe it.

"Really?"

"It's just a jar of wine, can it have this function?"

"The Zhong family's wine, it's hard to say!"

"But what the hell is the wine spirit? I've never heard of it! ”

……

There was a lot of gossip in the audience, but no one bid for the auction.

Xiao Qi raised three fingers, and then withdrew them one by one, but there was still no one bidding, so she decisively announced: "The first sale was unsuccessful." On the second piece! ”

Looking at her neat and neat appearance, she doesn't seem to care too much about whether the sale is unsuccessful.

The second piece is a mirror.

Xiao Qi introduced: "Yuanjing, every night at one o'clock in the morning, as long as you pick up this mirror, you can see the person you miss." However, only the deceased can be seen. A living person cannot appear in this mirror. ”

Xiao Qi asked the staff to hold a mirror and demonstrate it in front of everyone, so that everyone could confirm that this mirror really couldn't reflect the living.

Everyone found that this mirror really couldn't be imaged, and while they were skeptical, they also believed Xiao Qi's statement.

However, when I arrived at Shen Linger, this mirror clearly reflected Shen Linger's appearance.

The audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes fell on Shen Ling'er.

Xiao Qi also stared at her, smiling a little madly, "I didn't expect that our Zhong family would also have a dead person!" Come on, catch her! Send her to the hell! ”

The black-clothed mermaid wearing a mask rushed in to catch Shen Ling'er.

But with Saitama, no one can succeed.

In desperation, Xiao Qi had no choice but to evacuate the other guests and block the venue.

After everyone left, Xiao Qi suddenly took off her mask, revealing a pure and beautiful face, and she said to Shen Ling'er with a smile: "Sister, I finally found you." ”

Xiao Qi said: "The mirror can only reflect our Zhong family. ”

Xiao Qi picked up the edge mirror, and sure enough, it could also be imaged.

But this principle may not be explained by the scientific method.

If it weren't for the game, Shen Linger would decisively identify the other party as a fraud.

But why?

Shen Ling'er didn't understand either.

She said that her name was "Zhong Qi" and she was Shen Linger's sister, and according to the rules, Shen Linger should be called "Zhong Ba".

"However, my surname is Shen, and my sister is also surnamed Shen!" Shen Ling'er did not accept Zhong Qi's enthusiasm.

Zhong Qi was hindered by Saitama's strength, and he didn't dare to approach easily, but just invited Shen Ling'er to the infield.

"The infield is different from the outfield, and the infield can't wear a mask." Zhong Qi asked Shen Ling'er to take off the mask and threatened, "If you wear a mask, you will die." ”

Shen Ling'er hurriedly said: "Then I won't go, I'm leaving." ”

"If you don't obey, you'll die." Zhong Qi kindly reminded: "Little Bachi, since you are back, you should understand that the girls of our Zhong family will never be able to leave the Zhong family." Life is a member of the Zhong family, and death is also a ghost of the Zhong family. You can't escape! ”

Shen Ling'er led Saitama out of the venue, and Zhong Qi did not send anyone to stop him.

She couldn't stop it.

Her people are not Saitama's opponents.

So, Shen Ling'er and Saitama came to the courtyard again.

Only then did they discover that the design of this courtyard was special, just like a gossip array, and it was difficult to get out again when they came in.

When they came, someone from the Zhong family led the way and brought them to the venue.

Now there is no Zhong family to lead the way, they have to rely on their own skills to go out.

However, the night was dark, and there were only green tree lamps in the courtyard, willow trees everywhere, and all the roads were open in all directions.

Walking around, Shen Ling'er and Saitama had no way to get out of this courtyard.

Only the way to the venue is clear.

In the end, Shen Ling'er and Saitama had to return to the venue again.

Zhong Qi happened to be waiting for them all the time, and when she saw them coming back, she smiled slightly and said, "Little Eighth Sister, you're back." Take off your mask and come with me! Sister takes you to the infield. ”

Shen Ling'er refused again: "You are very strange here! Who knows what other quirks you have in the infield! I don't want to go! You'd better let me go now! Otherwise, I'll let this guy next to me shoot and blow your head off! ”

Zhong Qi smiled lightly and said, "However, you have already come in, and now even if you kill me, you won't be able to get out!" Little Eighth Sister, the truth you want to know is in the infield, don't you really want to go in and take a look? ”
