I'm not a theatre god

"Maybe not." Chen Ling replied.

"Why?"

"Some people are used to being alone and don't like having people around...especially people from the Dusk Society." Chen Ling's gold mask was mysterious and profound in the black gold room.

Liu Qingyan looked at the reflection on the marble floor and whispered, "Are you this kind of person too?"

Chen Ling was slightly startled.

His first reaction was that Liu Qingyan had figured out his true identity, but this idea was quickly rejected... Not to mention wearing a golden mask, the face under the mask was also fake, and he and Liu Qingyan were Qing Yan has only met twice, and they are not familiar with each other. It is impossible for the other party to see through his disguise.

"……yes."

After receiving this answer, Liu Qingyan nodded slightly,

"I understand, little girl...Thank you, special envoy."

Liu Qingyan pushed the door open and walked out.

The long corridor with mottled light and shadow reappeared in front of her eyes. Liu Qingyan gently closed the door. Her black skirt followed her light steps and silently shuttled between the light and shadow... Her steps were very light, as if there were no traces. The voice sounded like a ghost in a black dress.

When she reached the middle of the corridor, Liu Qingyan slowly stopped and looked back at the closed black gold door.

In the middle of the deserted corridor, the girl faced the door and knelt down gently on one knee. Her black skirt was like an ink rose blooming between the light and shadow, and her hazy green hair was scattered on the smooth marble floor... She seemed like A devout believer prays to God in church.

In the reflection of those watery eyes, a red thread that only she could see extended from her heart and connected straight behind the black gold door.

"If you don't want to accept it, Qingyan won't bother you anymore... If I can be your shadow from a distance, that's enough."

She closed her eyes and murmured something in prayer.

After dozens of seconds, she lifted up her skirt and stood up. She took one last look at the black gold door and walked straight out of the auction house.

…

"Come out."

When Chen Ling saw the door closed, she took off the golden mask on her face and shouted softly to the side.

The next moment, a head covered with white dust poked out from behind the sofa, jumped up to Chen Ling, pointed at the door and babbling something.

"You mean her?" Chen Ling shrugged, "I'm not familiar with her."

"Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

The clown waved his hand, still pointing to the door, then knelt down in front of Chen Ling with a bang, pretending to say something, then stood up suddenly, turned and walked behind him.

When Chen Ling saw the clown's inexplicable performance, a look of confusion appeared on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door and took a look outside, but the corridor was empty.

When the clown saw this, a look of disappointment appeared on his little face, and he helplessly spread his hands to him, with a posture of "you're late".

Chen Ling didn't understand what the clown meant, so she simply sat back on the swivel chair and looked at the time on the wall...

"If nothing else, they should come back."

Chen Ling waited for a while, and two figures came out of the window one after another. It was Jian Changsheng and his two men.

It was broad daylight now, and the two of them would definitely not be able to get in through the main entrance. They could only take some side roads. Seeing Jian Changsheng sweating profusely, Chen Ling couldn't help but ask:

"How's it going? Did you let it go?"

"nailed it."

Jian Changsheng took a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma, you didn't tell me that thing was so big! If the ban between us hadn't been lifted midway, we really wouldn't have been able to transport it from the hotel. come out……"

"When we were transporting it to the warehouse, we happened to encounter someone coming to inspect it. Fortunately, we ran fast and were not discovered by them." 9 of Hearts thought about it carefully, "However, when they saw the Buddha statue, their expressions were still... Quite exciting.”

"As long as nothing goes wrong." Chen Ling nodded slightly.

"However, we have discovered something!" Jian Changsheng put down the tea cup, his expression seemed very excited,

"When we were running away from there, we passed by other warehouses of the Huadu Consortium. There were a lot of cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings in them. Unfortunately, the time was too short and we didn't have time to search carefully... But I think that if that painting is really in the world of mortals, The main city is likely to fall into the hands of the five major consortiums!”

Chen Ling raised her eyebrows and felt that what Jian Changsheng said made sense.

Although I don’t know what the mystery is in that painting, since even the Dusk Society is looking for it, there must be something special about it. The major financial groups in the main city of Hongchen who have the ability to collect these calligraphy and paintings should be... although there is no 100% guarantee. , but if you start from the consortium’s treasure house, the probability will indeed be higher.

"So what are your plans?"

"Search the treasure house!" Jian Changsheng said firmly, "Starting from the five major consortiums... I don't believe it. Is it possible that I can't complete even one task?"

"However, there is a difference between warehouses and treasure houses." Chen Ling reminded timely, "The treasure houses of the five major consortiums must be strictly guarded, and there are Shinto owners sitting in charge... Are you sure you can sneak in quietly?"

Jian Changsheng was startled for a moment, and then became a little wilted... while 9 of Hearts on the side sneered, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"If you can't get in, then just rob! There aren't many of the five major consortiums who can fight, so I beat them all... Mainly because I'm worried that if there is too much movement, the [Fu Sheng Hui] gang will be attracted come over."

Chen Ling:......

Chen Ling suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to unban these two people...especially the 9 of Hearts. This guy was already suppressed with the ban before, and now he is like a wild horse that is always looking for opportunities to do something. A game to release the depression in your heart. The two of them were able to restrain themselves when they were banned, but now he was afraid that these two guys would directly overturn the main city of Hongchen.

The organization is asking you to establish a firm foothold and prepare a stronghold, not to punch a hole in the main city!

"...Well, I have an idea."

Chen Ling thought for a while and then came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, "Even if you can make the consortium turn upside down and steal the treasures in front of others, if you make such troubles several times in a row, other consortia will definitely be on guard and even set up a device. I'll lay a trap for you to fall into a trap, or secretly remove valuable treasures... If you rush into the treasure house after exhausting your efforts and find that there is a room full of explosives waiting for you, you will be in trouble. "

Chen Ling tried to awaken the 9 of Hearts' reason in a persuasive way, but the latter seemed to really start to think seriously, and then responded:

"...They can't kill me."

Then, he patted the confused Jian Changsheng on the shoulder and smiled confidently: "It won't kill him!"
