"Then the auction will begin again, and the bid is now $240 million."
The host named Leilei Android said so. Judging from her dress, she is the one who looks most like the train owner.
Wearing a good fur coat, with short hair and a model-like figure, the host has leather belts wrapped around his eyes, but his movements are not affected. Apparently, this host also has the magic eye.
The carriage where the auction took place was the famous "Wanmo Eyeball Library". The Eyeball Library used space folding technology to make the actual space more than twice the size of the carriage.
The walls around the eyeball bank were filled with glass tubes filled with eyeballs. The dense crowd of eyeballs made even Shinji feel his scalp tingling. These were all Mystic Eyes, each of which possessed a rare mystery.
In the center of countless eyeballs, Lei Andros rang the hammer and announced that the auction would resume.
"Two hundred and fifty million."
"Two hundred and sixty million."
The staggering numbers quickly floated across the carriage.
First it was Kanono Hishiri, then Melvin. The former looked at the latter calmly, his eyes narrowed like a snake.
Before she could raise the sign again, someone else joined the battle.
"Two hundred and eighty million."
It's Yvette.
This time it was Shinji's turn to narrow his eyes, and his eyeballs moved from left to right and from right to left.
Although the Lehman family is a famous family, their secret technique is to use gems to simulate the magic eye. They have always been under great financial pressure and cannot have so much liquid funds. There is no doubt that someone has given her support. Is it the mastermind? Or is it Luvia who should not be here? Or is this Luvia the mastermind in disguise
Soon, Hanano Hishiri and Melvin caught up again.
"Three hundred million."
"Three hundred and twenty million."
As the bids kept rising, like a fight, Shinji quietly nudged Weber with his elbow.
"Tell me what you think of this magic eye. Is it worth spending so much money to fight for it?"
Waver held his chin up and thought for a moment, then answered, "The so-called price is not absolute, but depends on the meaning to the individual. If this is an auction in the Clock Tower where there is no limit on the number of visitors, and if the Mystic Eye of 'Rainbow' or 'Mystic Eye of Death', which is said to have appeared in the Far East, is put on the market, it is not surprising that the price will be doubled by dozens of times. The Mystic Eye that can transcend theory and cause and effect and give the result called death will be sought after by everyone. However, the Mystic Eye of Bubble Shadow this time is not so decisive in this regard. The Mystic Eye of 'Gem' is also very rare, and even a lord has to spend a lot of effort to obtain it, but the value of this feature of making the past emerge in the present varies from person to person. It is very valuable to people like you and me who are related to the afterimage of the past, but it may not be so valuable to other magicians."
"I see." Shinji turned his head and changed his target, "Acting Manager, what do you think?"
"The eye and the person influence each other. The person can control the eye, and the eye can also imprison the person. Please consider carefully. Personally, I feel that the 'Magic Eye of Bubble Shadow' is not suitable for you. If you have such needs, you can contact the owner through that person, and the owner will definitely help you find the most suitable magic eye."
"Thank you, Elquite. What do you think?"
"Crunch, um—" The princess got a bag of potato chips from somewhere and chewed while mumbling, "Xiao Wei should be quite suitable. She has a talent in the past, present and future. After all, she is the child of that woman."
"I feel relieved when you say this." The squinted eyes finally opened.
Ryougi Mina, Ryougi Shiki's daughter, is the girl Shinji calls the best raw stone and his designated number one disciple. Although he has not yet officially become her apprentice, the future master has already begun planning for his future disciple.
In the memories of the previous life, there is not much information about Mina. All I know is that she is a precocious girl. She is only ten years old, but she can play around with adults in their twenties.
Apart from his father, Kurogiri, no, Ryougi Kan'ye - Kan'ye also married into the Ryougi family to ensure that the Ryougi family, a famous family of demon exorcists and gangsters, would continue to have descendants - the only one left is a man named Heikura Koryu.
This person is the main character in the "Future Gospel" chapter of "Kara no Kyoukai". When he was a teenager, he had the same hidden profession as Shinji - explosion artist, or bomber.
Unlike Shinji who was a bomber out of interest, Koryu was a professional bomber. He accepted commissions to set bombs and made profits from them. Because he was steady, accurate and ruthless, and had little impact on the surroundings, with almost no casualties, he was once very famous in the underground world of Tokyo.
This is far beyond Shinji's realm (Shinji almost blew himself up). The reason why it is so accurate is because of his own special ability or mystic eye - future vision, determination type future vision. This is the opposite ability of "Mystic Eye of Bubble", and it is a mystic eye that determines the future to be the future that he has set.
Generally speaking, the future seen by the measured future vision cannot be changed. However, there are also unusual situations, and Guangliu encountered such a situation.
This unlucky child's face was seen by Ryougi Shiki during a mission. Afterwards, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, he focused on Shiki's bombing. In the end, Shiki used his "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" to kill the determined future, and the mystic eyes were thus scrapped, thus ending this highly artistic job of bombing.
At that time, for some unknown reason, Shi let Guangliu go. More than ten years later, her daughter fell in love with Guangliu by chance and stuck to him all day long.
In addition to Guangliu, Minawashiki also has many interactions with another owner of future vision, Guanbuzi's mother.
He is a fortune teller with the ultimate future vision who possesses a Mystic Eye of "Rainbow" level and can see the branches of fate and the way to the future. He once performed divination on Shiki's other personality, Ori, before he fell into a coma, and predicted that Ori would die no matter what, but Shiki would have a happy ending.
After Guanbuzi's mother lost her ability and fell into despair, Mina found her with Guangliu, thanked her for her other father, and encouraged and supported her to resume her old job.
In addition, Mina's father, Kan'ya, had an encounter with another woman with futuristic vision, Seo Shion, when he was still called Kurogiri. Her futuristic vision was the weakest, predictive futuristic vision, and she could only occasionally see a corner of fate, but this also explains the fate of this family and the future.
What can attract the future must be the present, and the opposite of the future is the past. As Elquet said, this family is the present, the link between the future and the past, and has a deep connection with this aspect.
Although it is much weaker than the "Mystic Eyes of Shadows", "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" and Ultimate Future Vision, it is more than enough as an entry-level gift for a designated disciple.
There is only one problem left - money. Can Shinji come up with so much money
While the few people were chatting, the auction price had risen from 320 million to 460 million, and the bidder was Melvin.
"Acting Manager, I have a question for you."
"Dear guest, please speak."
"Will the auction accept payment in gold?"
"The currency unit used in this auction is the US dollar. For the convenience of customers, this train also provides US dollar exchange services, but due to the real-time fluctuations in the exchange rate, a relatively conservative value will be used. Please forgive us."
"It's fine, as long as it can be exchanged. Then I'll make an offer."
"VIP, please." The woman wrapped in roses handed over a number plate.
Shinji took the number plate, and after Yvette called out the sky-high price of "500 million", he held it high and announced his own price in a very sarcastic voice.
"I'll give you, um, ten tons of gold first!"
