Chapter 5: auction

Views:

Xu Yinian locked the door of the box, he rummaged through the box, passed the waistband of the nightgown from the closet, tied the wolf demon tightly, and pressed his fingers with electric light against the wolf demon's temple: "If you dare to shout, I'll poke a hole in your head."

The wolf demon had tasted the power of the electric current, and most of his body was numb, only his facial expression could change. He bared his teeth, but dared not lower his voice: "What the hell are you trying to do?...Hiss! Do you know where this is?"

Xu Yinian ignored him, and contacted Chen Ran with the concentric spell: [Chen Ran? Are you done? ]

There was no response for a long time, and Xu Yinian was wondering if Chen Ran had been put down, when a voice came from his head: [Okay, how are you? ]

[I have restrained this idiot in the VIP room, maybe I can take him as a hostage. ]

Chen Ran hummed, and was about to say that Xu Yinian did a good job, when the monsters in the cage saw that he took out the keys from the two dead guards and released all the humans in the cage, they also started to itch: "Exorcist, can you release us too?"

Chen Ran turned his head. Catching his sight, the monsters scrambled to say: "I swear I am a good citizen! I have never violated the regulations of peaceful coexistence in my life, and it has nothing to do with this idiot organizer!"

"I was tied up as soon as I walked the fucking street, 100% victim!"

"Let me out, demon master! Our demon clan has always had a clear grievance, and I will repay you!"

[The monsters want me to let them out. ] Chen Ran said to Xu Yinian, [It seems that they were indeed implicated innocently, and the organizer locked them all in a cage of suppressing ability. ]

[It’s really miserable,] Xu Yinian thought about it, [Who wants to lock me in a cage, I have to tear down his ancestral grave. ]

Hearing this, Chen Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration: [Why don't you let these guys out and let them help deal with the organizer? ]

Xu Yinian also became interested: [I think it will work! you talk to them? ]

at the same time.

In the auction hall on the first floor, the host couldn't help showing a satisfied smile when he saw the last auction item on the stage. Different from all previous auction items, this one is a priceless treasure that can really make the scene crazy.

The host raised his voice: "According to the usual practice, every demon world auction will provide guests with a catalog of auction items. Only the finale will not appear in the catalog. You must have been waiting for a long time. I promise, even if He is the most well-informed guest, and he couldn't fault this finale."

The lights poured down from directly above the booth, and the finale was projected on the screen. It was a slender young man. He walked towards the stage with a smile on his face. If one ignores the birdcage that runs through most of the young man's face and grows almost together with his head, the young man's appearance is very delicate.

"This year's finale is a cage monster. If you haven't heard of the cage monster, he has another name that is more widely spread."

"—The Wishing Machine."

There was an uproar in the room.

Like water dripping into a frying pan, the surrounding crowd was full of excitement, and the monsters in the VIP room, who had been indifferent all night, couldn't wait to raise the curtain and cast their eyes on the young man.

"As long as you provide enough human beings for the wishing machine to use as living sacrifices, he can help you realize a wish, any wish! Whether it is a lifespan of hundreds of years, the most beautiful woman, or the strongest power! He can even make you wish for a moment. The head of the enemy who is half a world away from you has fallen!"

"In order to show the sincerity of the organizer, we have prepared fifty living people for living sacrifices for the buyers. Compared with ordinary humans, the flesh and soul of demon masters have better buff effects. Ten of the living sacrifices we prepared Three exorcists, this has never been precedent in previous auctions!"

"This is the only wishing machine in existence! I believe most of you have heard that every time a wish is fulfilled, the wishing machine needs to rest for a long time. If you miss this opportunity, the next time he is willing to accept a wish, he will not know what it is. What time is it?" The host waved his arm, and all the follow-up lights shone on the wishing machine, "Then, for tonight's finale, the starting price is—"

boom! !

The scarlet curtain fell to the ground suddenly, completely covering the scene on the booth. A group of guests were puzzled: "What's going on?", "What kind of trick is this?", "It's a mystery, can't we shoot it!"

"Sorry, sorry!" The staff hurried to the booth, "The curtain is broken, please raise it immediately!"

While talking, he controlled the rising of the curtain. For some reason, the curtain rose very slowly, and the discussion in the audience became louder and louder. The staff members were anxious and subconsciously looked towards the booth.

wrong.

The staff froze, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.

With the curtain raised to this position, it stands to reason that the host and the feet of the wishing machine should be visible, but there is nothing on the stage.

In the corner of the auction hall, a puppet girl stood up from the guest seat and walked outside in a calm manner.

After leaving the auction hall, the puppet girl changed her leisurely attitude and ran forward quickly. He was walking almost close to the ground, at an astonishingly fast speed, but a figure followed closely behind, and finally stopped in front of him first.

coming.

Because of the strong hatred and fear, the pupils of the puppet girl suddenly shrank.

"I thought I had killed all the puppet girls, but I didn't expect to miss one."

The puppet girl stopped and looked at the person who came by coldly and resentfully. They all left the auction hall when the staff hurriedly adjusted the curtain. The puppet girl's breath was disordered because of the fierce running, but the other party's breathing was very stable. Under the moonlight, his face was young and handsome, but to the puppet girl, he looked like a ghost in hell.

Yu Huai was expressionless, and asked softly, "Where's the Wishing Machine?"

"Dead." The puppet girl said coldly, "But don't worry, you will see him soon!"

As the puppet girl's voice fell, countless puppets that had been lying in wait for a long time emerged from the dark corners. On both sides of the road, on the roof of the treetops... there are puppets hiding in all of them!

As soon as they got the order, thousands of puppets rushed towards Yu Huai like crazy.

puff!

The puppet girl spat out a mouthful of blood, but her smile grew bigger and bigger.

Dense puppet lines connected to his heart. The number of puppets that a puppet girl can control at the same time is limited. If she wants to control hundreds of puppets, the puppet girl can only use her heart as a medium and pay the price of shortening her life. In order to kill Yu Huai, he even spared most of his own life!

Countless puppets attacked Yu Huai like a tide. No matter how powerful a monster is, it is impossible to solve so many targets at once. The puppet stared intently, waiting for the moment when Yu Huai was overwhelmed.

Just take advantage of that moment and kill him!

The puppet girl focused all her attention on the ghosts in the puppet formation, and suddenly a small sharp pain came from her neck.

A puppet thread wound up at an unknown time stuck into his neck, and when the thread was pulled, the puppet girl immediately knelt down on the ground uncontrollably, his brain went blank for several seconds, belated Realized that he was being counter-manipulated.

Following the kneeling of the puppet girl, the puppet line in his heart was also pulled. Thousands of puppets attacking Yu Huai all stopped and knelt down at Yu Huai's feet. The whole scene was indescribably funny. .

"Stand and don't say anything, then kneel."

Yu Huai flicked the puppet string in his hand, and the puppet girl manipulated by him crawled up in front of him.

The puppet girl looked at the thin thread in his hand in disbelief: "How...how could it be...?!"

Yu Huai not only manipulated him, but also manipulated hundreds of puppets. He needs to pay the price of heart and soul to manipulate these puppets, but Yu Huai only needs to move his fingers. Realizing the gap in strength between the two, the puppet girl's voice trembled unknowingly.

A palm-sized spirit body stopped on Yu Huai's shoulder. The snow-white and round spirit body shook its head, and its chubby fingers were connected with several puppet lines. It's like a miniature puppet.

The puppet girl saw the blood-red eyes of the spirit body suddenly, and said bitterly: "Your family are all monsters, this kind of abnormal power...you deserve to die!"

The ghost character in the ghost clan means exorcising ghosts.

Yokai and humans killed by a ghost can be used by the ghost. The ghost clan can summon the spirit body of the deceased, thereby borrowing the ability of the deceased. In other words, the more monsters and exorcists killed, the richer and more powerful the ghost clan's own abilities will be.

Over the years, a large part of the reason why the two worlds have been afraid of Yu Huai is that there are a large number of monsters of different races gathered in the bone burial ground, and some races are not even listed in the records of the Monster Elimination Bureau. God knows how many monsters Yu Huai killed in the boneyard, and how many abilities he gained.

Yu Huai asked again: "Where is the Wishing Machine?"

"I also want to ask, you killed all my people, do you still remember their faces?" The puppet girl said with a sinister smile, "Oh, I forgot, you can even come out of the boneyard, how can you remember mere faces?" A family of monsters that you slaughtered?"

"You took away the wishing machine for this?" Yu Huai's voice was suddenly cold, he tugged the puppet string in his hand, the puppet girl's head hit the ground with a bang, and immediately lifted up, continuously Kowtow hard.

It was the first time for the manipulative puppet to experience the feeling of being manipulated. His eyes were bloodshot, and the blood on his forehead blurred his vision, but he still couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes: "...you just kill me and forget it!"

"Few people know that I'm looking for a wishing machine. If you have the guts to use it to lure me out, it's not so easy to want to die." Yu Huai looked down at the puppet girl whose face was covered in blood, "Who sent you here?"

Only then did the puppet realize the problem. He endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth without saying a word.

With a jingle, a sharp boning knife landed in front of him.

He was wondering what Yu Huai wanted to do, when he heard the other party's slow voice: "When you cut off your whole body with your own hands, you will probably be willing to tell the truth."

The puppet girl's scalp went numb.

He was horrified to find himself picking up the boning knife and pressing the sharp blade against his arm. He exhausted all his strength and couldn't control his movements, so he could only stick the blade into his arm with the puppet string, and slices of skin and flesh were cut off by himself, and the whole arm was dripping with blood.

Facing such cruel punishment, the puppet girl had no choice but to beg for mercy even if she refused to give in.

"...I said, I said! Stop! Please stop! I have never met my employer! He contacted me by telegraph! About three months ago, shortly after you wiped out our family, the employer He took the initiative to contact me, and he said that you came back for revenge. Even if I escaped that time by chance, I will be found by you sooner or later! As long as he robs the wishing machine at the auction, he is willing to hide my name for me, and I control the host , let him take the Wishing Machine to—"

The puppet girl's voice stopped abruptly, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spewed out from her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes, ears, and nose began to bleed, and purple-red blood mixed with toxins gushed out from all parts of his body. I didn't expect that there was a poison in my body.

Yu Huai immediately summoned the spirit body of Bing Po to try to freeze the puppet girl's blood, but it was too late to prevent the toxin from spreading in a large area.

In less than half a minute, the puppet girl died in front of him.

Realizing that the puppet girl might have been poisoned before carrying out the mission, Yu Huai took back her spirit body and rushed to the auction venue.

[It's done. These monsters have been grudges for a long time, as long as they are released, they will be happy to help deal with the organizer. ] Chen Ran communicated with Xu Yinian while releasing people, [Su Tang and Gu Xiaodong were not found in the background, where are you? ]

[My side too... wait! ] Xu Yinian slammed towards the glass window.

The auction hall on the first floor was brightly lit, and accompanied by the sound of clinking chains, two waiters escorted one of them out of the shadows. Seeing the figure being pushed onto the stage, Xu Yinian said in surprise: [I saw Su Tang! ! ]

The wishing machine disappeared without a trace in full view. In order to appease the guests, the organizer had to temporarily add new auction items. The new host introduced loudly, trying to attract the attention of the guests again: "The demon world auction has been held for several times, and various treasures emerge in endlessly, but this is the first time this auction item is on the booth—a young, handsome An outstanding demon exorcist!"

There was a lot of discussion at the guest table. Yu Huai went up to the second floor from the shadow, and looked towards the booth when he heard this.

"There has never been a precedent for auctioning a monster exorcist in the past! We carefully selected this rare auction item based on comprehensive ability, age, and appearance: so far, she has killed several monsters, completed Hundreds of demon removal tasks! More importantly, she has a rare healing ability, which can not only heal others, but also heal herself. As long as she keeps her breath, it is a permanent mobile blood bag, which can withstand your free use …”

The person pushed to the front of the stage was thin and beautiful, with long hair covering his thin shoulders.

It's a girl.

Yu Huai looked back uninterestedly. Nan Zhi, who had been waiting for a long time, smelled the vague smell of blood on his body, and reported in a low voice: "After you left, there was no sign of the wishing machine at the other entrances and exits, and the organizer did not do anything unusual."

"These grandchildren..." Yu Huai grabbed the railing, the veins on the back of his hands gradually protruding, and there was a creak! The railing was cut into two sections, and there was anger in his eyes, "Hands and feet are quite clean."

Quotations began in the venue, and the girls on the booth were pale, with deep fear in their eyes. The monsters greedily stared at her figure. The more timid and helpless she was, the more excited they were, and the price increase sounded one after another, as if they wanted to tear her apart on the spot.

"By the way, Young Master Xu may also be underground."

Yu Huai turned her head to the side, motioning for her to continue.

"He and his little classmate hijacked two monsters from the underground auction, and they are probably holding back somewhere at the moment." Nan Zhi couldn't help but smile.

After a while, Yu Huai chuckled softly: "He's pretty good at tossing around."

Listening to the host's introduction, Xu Yinian pressed his fingers firmly on the glass: [Chen Ran, hurry up, Su Tang was auctioned off by them! ]

Chen Ran cursed, and quickly calmed down again: [You keep an eye on the situation, I will bring these monsters from the backstage and come over right away. ]

Xu Yinian was still about to say something, but the bound wolf demon suddenly said, "Do you know that girl in the audience? If you want to save her, I advise you to hurry up."

Xu Yinian turned around, and the wolf demon gloated: "According to their usual practice, she will be 'inspected' soon."

Before asking clearly about the meaning of the inspection, the host's voice resounded in the hall, and the well-dressed guests shouted their prices loudly. The price of the auction item soared all the way, and a monster said incredulously: "This is just a good-looking human girl, it's not worth that much money!"

"Didn't you hear? She has healing powers! As long as you are careful not to kill her, you can eat her flesh and drink her blood for the rest of your life!"

"It's such a waste to drink blood, it's so beautiful, what's wrong with buying it back?"

"-5.5 million!" The host happily quoted, "5.5 million once, 5.5 million twice... 6 million! The guests from District D bid 6 million!"

The girl on the booth was tense to the extreme. After hearing the higher and higher numbers, she bit her lip tightly, and finally couldn't help shedding tears.

Su Tang's crying made the host turn his head slowly, and he smiled: "Our auction item has some minor problems temporarily. Although this appearance is not ugly, it is not very appropriate to cry on the booth."

"Yes, let her smile!"

"What's a sad face? How disgusting!"

"Come on, let's have a laugh." The host tried to persuade, "The guests all want to see how happy you are."

Su Tang's face turned pale, he kept shaking his head and backed away, and the two waiters standing by saw this and stepped forward. The moment her wrists were grabbed, she couldn't help but let out a scream—

Her fear further stimulated the crazy guests in the audience, and a sharp voice came from the crowd of monsters: "Don't be a bauble! Show me her ability!"

One after another, echoes erupted at the scene: "Inspect the goods! Inspect the goods!"

"That's right! Who knows if she'll work or not?"

"Bring a knife and come up! Make two cuts first!"

The yelling in the auction hall covered the movement outside the door, and the guards at the four entrances and exits fell silently to the ground. Chen Ran and a dozen backstage monsters stuck outside one of the gates. In the remaining entrances and exits, the monsters released by Chen Ran also held their breath, waiting for his instructions.

"Bastard...!" Hearing the yelling inside, Chen Ran cursed with red eyes. The monster next to him patted him: "Hey, let's see, when is it coming?"

"Wait a little longer." Chen Ran raised his head and looked at the box on the second floor: [Xu Yinian? ]

The waiter on the stage grabbed Su Tang's chin and cut her cheek with a knife. Blood gushed out continuously, but the wound healed quickly. In desperation, Xu Yinian turned his head and ordered the wolf demon: "Take a picture of her for me."

The wolf demon looked at him in surprise, and then said: "Do you know how expensive you are? I don't have the money to buy another one."

Xu Yinian was also surprised: "You come here without money????"

Seeing that the waiter was about to slash again, the wolf demon didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement: "What's the use of you wasting me here? If you don't save people, it won't be her face that will be slashed later."

Just as Xu Yinian wanted to respond to Chen Ran, when he heard this, he suddenly looked at him directly. The wolf demon was terrified by him, and subconsciously asked: "What are you looking at? I'm telling the truth."

Xu Yinian was thoughtful, and showed his first smile after entering the box: "Even if you don't have any money, you can sit here, isn't your status unusual?"

The wolf demon's eyelids twitched, feeling something was wrong: "You...what do you want to do?"

Xu Yinian passed the fruit knife on the table, and picked up the heavily tied wolf demon with one hand. The wolf demon suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale: "No? Wait, you don't want to—"

Xu Yinian slammed the wolf demon against the one-way glass of the box, and at the same time called Chen Ran in his heart: [Do it. ]

The sharp tip of the knife is covered with dazzling electric light, which can pass through the temple of the wolf demon and pierce the glass. A spider web-like crack spreads rapidly from this center. heap!

At the same time, the flames released by Chen Ran suddenly exploded in mid-air, and the monsters who had been waiting for a long time burst into the auction venue when they saw the signal, and rushed towards the patrol team who had no time to react like a wild horse.

"Hey! The one with the knife on the stage," the boy's voice attracted the attention of the audience. He stepped on the sill wall of the box on the second floor, raised the trembling wolf demon with one hand, and held the knife blade against the latter's terrified face, "Look clearly, this guy is your honored guest. If you dare to touch her again, I will pay him back twice as much."

The audience was silent for a moment, and then a flood of shouts broke out. The hosts and waiters on the stage turned pale with fright, and the bloody dagger fell to the ground with a clatter. Except for those who fought with monsters, the rest of the patrol team did not dare to act rashly, but blocked the entrance and exit immediately.

At this critical moment, a guest suddenly pointed at Xu Yinian from below. The person ignored the changes around him and shouted madly: "I want this! I'll offer six million! No, seven million! Give it to me." catch him!"

Even though he was surrounded by fierce murderous aura, Xu Yinian's appearance still made people unable to take their eyes off him. Compared with the beautiful and frail Su Tang, his appearance is more aggressive, like a peach blossom in full bloom in spring, bright and flamboyant to the extreme.

Xu Yinian's eyes sharpened, and he looked viciously at the bidder.

The guests next to him didn't know what stimulated them, but excitedly clapped their hands and screamed: "Seven million and a half million! Catch him!"

As if infected by this madness of not caring, one after another, calls came from all directions.

"Eight million! Live! Don't hurt his face!"

"Nine million! You can break your arms and legs! Don't let him run away!"

"Ten million! Never mind the unlucky guy in his hand!"

Although Rao was well prepared to deal with the unexpected, Xu Yinian did not expect that these lunatics would target him. The wolf demon saw that he was unexpected, and even though his life was strangled, he became fearless: "Didn't I say that? In the eyes of the demon clan, you are much more attractive than that woman on the stage."
