The history of the Tulip family's underground auction house is almost as long as that of the family, and it has been famous in the Western underground world for hundreds of years. Guests who come here do not even need to worry about their identities being revealed, so there is no such thing as wearing a mask.
However, those who come to the tulip auction house must not only abide by the common rules of underground auctions, but also add a rule of "maintaining aristocratic demeanor". This can probably be regarded as a characteristic of the Tulip family.
Therefore, although the auction house, which can accommodate thousands of people, is already packed, there is no noise.
I raised my watch and looked at it: "It's almost time, notify Linger to come on."
Not long after, Ling'er stood on the stage: "Dear guests, I believe you already know the only item in this auction. So..."
Just as Ling'er was about to announce the start of the auction, a white man raised his hand and interrupted the auction: "Dear Madam, I would like to ask where this lot comes from? Can your family guarantee the authenticity of the lot?"
Ling'er smiled and said: "This is exactly what I want to say. "The Secret Art of Love Demon" comes from Wang Huan, a Chinese magician. He said it personally: I, Wang Huan, know that people do not do secret things. I will use "The Secret Art of Love Demon" "Putting it up for auction is to take revenge on Lan Moying. The more people who can buy the secret technique, the better."
Ling'er's voice paused and said: "As for your second question, I can only say that "The Secret Art of Love Demon" was divided into two parts by Wang Huan."
"The lower part is used to unlock the secret technique. This has been certified by the family and is absolutely untrue. The text of the second half of the secret technique is only a short page, but its starting price is higher than that of the upper part. .”
Linger seemed to be deliberately titillating, and she paused before saying: "As for the first half, the only thing I can tell you is that even my client cannot be sure whether it is valid."
"Because the conditions for practicing the secret technique are too harsh, and the client himself cannot practice it. Until now, no one can determine the authenticity of the first half of the secret technique. Therefore, the first half of the secret technique will not be auctioned, and the price will be one Each book is sold directly for 100 yuan, and the quantity is not limited.”
Ling'er's words are impeccable, and for those who can enter the tulip auction house, one hundred yuan is no different than a coin dropped on the roadside. They don't even bother to bend down to pick it up.
Ling'er pointed to a table filled with printing paper: "That is the first half of "The Secret Art of Love Demon". If you are interested, you can put the money into the box and take it directly from the table A photocopy of the secret art.”
"The Secret Art of Love Demon" is at your fingertips, but no one stood up immediately.
Because, what Ling'er will auction next is the method to crack the secret technique. No matter who wins the second half of "The Secret Art of Love Demons", it is possible that the first half will turn into a pile of waste paper. No one will rush to grab the first half before determining who owns the second half of the secret technique.
Ling'er kept smiling and said, "If you don't have any other questions, the auction is about to begin."
At this time, another person stood up and said: "What I want to ask is, can the person who entrusts the auction guarantee the uniqueness of the secret technique? In other words, can he not practice the secret technique himself, including the method of cracking it?"
The man's voice paused and said: "If neither the consignor nor your family can guarantee this, I will withdraw from the auction."
I turned my attention to the person who asked the question: "Pay attention to this person, his words are on point."
Ling'er smiled and said: "Sir, before I answer your question, I also want to ask you a question? Is it more important to practice the secret technique or to decipher the secret technique?"
Ling'er didn't wait for the other party to answer and said directly: "In my opinion, when no one is sure that the love demon secret technique can be practiced, it is more important to crack the secret technique. After all, no one wants to have one around them, and they can do it at any time. The woman who shot you, right?”
While the other party frowned slightly, Ling'er continued: "I think everyone here has heard about the horror of the Blue Devil. Many people have dealt with the Blue Devil. I don't think it's a pleasant experience to deal with the Blue Devil, right?"
Ling'er's few words actually made many people nod. It seems that Lan Moying's reputation and popularity in the West are not much better than his in the East.
The man hesitated for a moment and then said: "But I hope to ensure the uniqueness of the secret technique?"
Ling'er smiled again and said: "I think there are not a few people here who have the same idea as you. So, I also want to ask you three questions before the auction officially starts?"
"First, before you get the secret technique and complete the practice, can you resist attacks from different forces and directions?"
Ling'er's first question made most people change their expressions. They knew very well that the Western world would not allow the second Lan Moying to appear. The less dangerous people like that, the better.
Ling'er said again: "My second question is, if there is only one copy of the secret technique, can everyone here guarantee that the secret technique will not be lost unknowingly?"
Many people took a breath.
In the face of Wugui Sect, no one can guarantee that everything will be foolproof. If the secret book in their hands is stolen before they have practiced the secret technique, they will lose more than just money. Maybe, Lan Moying will be used as a shield and attacked by all parties.
Ling'er's beautiful eyes scanned the crowd before she said: "My third question is actually not a question anymore, but I still want to ask all distinguished guests about "The Secret of Love Demons", especially the second half. The more secret techniques are spread, the better for everyone? Or the less they are spread, the better?"
Ling'er deliberately paused for a few seconds before saying, "If you don't have any other questions, I'll announce the start of the auction."
"Stop the auction!" Ling'er was forcibly interrupted before she could finish her words. More than a dozen old men came up from the backstage one after another. Someone directly took Ling'er's place: "Everyone, on behalf of the Tulip family, I apologize to you. This auction has not been approved by the family elders council and must be cancelled. The family will apologize to you later... "
"We don't need to apologize!" Someone stood up and said, "What we need is for the Tulip family to complete the auction."
The elder looked at Ling'er with an unkind expression and said, "You must solve the trouble you caused yourself. If it affects the family's reputation, you will be expelled from the family."
Ling'er showed no sign of weakness: "Canceling the auction will affect the family's reputation. For the sake of the family, the auction must continue."
"Insolent!" the elder roared angrily: "Do you want to disobey the orders of the Presbyterian Council? Don't forget, the highest power of the family lies with the Presbyterian Council. Not in your hands."
Ling'er asked back: "Is the family's reputation more important, or is the Secret Art of the Love Demon more important?"
Ling'er is basically saying that the Tulip family is ready to monopolize the secret art of love demons.
"You have been expelled from the family!" The elder faced the guests again: "On behalf of the Tulip family, I announce..."
"Wait a minute!" Before the other party could finish speaking, he was forcibly interrupted by a voice coming from outside the auction house.
When everyone's attention was attracted by the sound, several people in black suits also strode from the door of the auction house.
Almost all the VIPs changed their expressions. Every underground auction has a rule that prohibits entry at the beginning of the auction. These people are obviously violating the taboos of the underground world, and many people have unkind looks in their eyes.
Several men in black didn't care about the strange looks of the distinguished guests, and walked straight to the stage. The leader grabbed the microphone from the elder's hand, and said to all the guests in an unquestionable tone: "This auction is cancelled, and the auction has been cancelled." Those who practice occult arts are immediately returned to the stage, everyone is ready to be inspected, and men and women are separated and go out on both sides of the auction house."
Someone asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? What right do you have to subject us to inspection?"
The man in black took out his ID and shook it in his hand. The man suddenly became silent and sat back obediently. I could clearly see that his body was shaking slightly.
The man in black turned to look at Ling'er and said: "Hand over Wang Huan and his companions, I will take them away. Don't tell me any reasons, you just need to accept and obey."
After the man in black vaguely expressed his identity, a soft sound suddenly came from the roof of the auction house, and countless pieces of paper flew down from the roof.
Anyone with a little bit of eyesight can see "The Secret Art of Love Demons Part Two" written in English on the piece of paper.
The man in black roared sternly: "Don't move anyone, otherwise we will kill without mercy."
The men in black on the stage took out guns at the same time, and the distinguished guests in the audience also put their heads in their hands and fell on their chairs.
At the same time, the companion of the man in black who was guarding the door also rushed in: "Sir, it's bad, "The Secret Art of Love Demon" is everywhere on the streets, and there are also people reprinting it in large numbers on the Internet. We can't control it. "
"What?" The black man was furious and pointed his gun directly at Linger: "Who did it?"
Ling'er said calmly: "It's Wang Huan. He is taking revenge on Lan Moying. What happened on the Internet must be his hand."
"Asshole!" the man in black said angrily: "Block the street immediately and no one will be allowed in or out. Hurry!"
The leader of the men in black said coldly: "We want to arrest Wang Huan for leaking secrets, and you must cooperate with us."
While the man in black on the stage was roaring angrily, Ren Tianqing whispered to me: "Did you see anything?"
I said solemnly: "There are four suspicious people among the VIPs participating in the auction below. I have asked Li Xiaomao to target them."
I had no intention of using secret techniques to make money from the beginning. The purpose of arranging the auction was to attract Lan Moying.
Although there were hundreds of distinguished guests in the audience, their movements and changes in demeanor could not escape the "snatching off cocoons" I had practiced in the dark castle. It only took me a few seconds to find out among the distinguished guests. Four people with the greatest mood swings.
Even if these four people are not Lan Moying himself, they should still be his confidants.
Ren Tianqing said: "Can Li Xiaomao really target so many people and take them all down? Do you want me to go down and help her?"
