Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Chapter 235: The First Auction

After comforting that circle of elves, Yu Lan suddenly thought of something and talked to them in a low voice. After getting a positive answer, she turned around and wanted to catch up with the team, but found that the people in the team were standing not far away and looking at them with strange expressions.

Yu Lan:?

She walked over curiously: "Why do you look like that? What did you find out?"

"No..." Gu Yan opened his mouth, but still didn't ask what happened between her and Erwin: "We didn't see any elves."

Yu Lan nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, after all, it is the finale, and it should not be seen by others casually. It would be bad if something unexpected happened."

"Yes, then shall we enter first?"

"Yeah." There was nothing to see in the exhibition hall. So they asked a waiter to lead them to their seats, but they didn't expect the waiter to take them upstairs and into a luxurious-looking box.

The box had a large French window with a light golden curtain hanging down to the ground. People inside could see the scene of the trading venue downstairs through the curtain, but people upstairs couldn't see inside even if they looked up. It seemed that some magic was cast.

What surprised them was that not only was the box magnificent, it was also located in the middle of the second floor, and even the waiter who led the way became very respectful after seeing the signature on the invitation. It was obvious that Hill's status was very high.

Now it was Yu Lan who felt a little uncomfortable. She had originally wanted to do something big quietly, but now it was attracting too much attention.

After sending away the waiters in the room, Yu Lan also installed a soundproof array, then slumped down in a chair and complained, "I knew the boss didn't have good intentions, why is he causing trouble now?"

Hill's name was clearly written on the invitation letter. What should she do if she causes trouble and involves Hill?

"Is there any connection?" Xina didn't know that their invitation was given by Hill, nor did she know Hill's identity here, so she asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Yu Lan waved her hands helplessly, and held Lily on her lap and rubbed her madly: "Don't blame me for cheating your master."

"Little Yu, fly with confidence. The boss will carry you." Lily collapsed on Yu Lan's legs and licked her paws. She felt that her master had been lurking for so long, it was time to take action. Yu Lan's disturbance was a good fuse.

"Haha, you're not afraid." Yu Lan pulled Lily's ear with amusement, and then heard the waiter's voice coming from outside the door.

"Guests, my master requests to see you."

People in the room looked at each other in bewilderment. Wasn’t the waiter’s master the owner of the auction? What was he doing here?

Although they were confused, they quickly packed up and when the boss came in, they saw a group of people sitting upright with a serious atmosphere.

The person sitting in the middle was not Yu Lan, but Mi Ji. In terms of age and experience, he was the most suitable person to deal with outsiders.

"I've heard of your name for a long time, sir. Please take a seat." Mi Ji extended his hand to signal the auctioneer to sit in front of him.

The auction owner walked in silently. His facial features were very similar to those of Master Iris, but the difference was that he looked more mature and exuded an air of reliability that made people unconsciously relax their guard.

It seems that the information is correct, the owner of the auction is also from the Iris family.

The auctioneer sat opposite Mi Ji, looking at the people present calmly. His gaze paused behind Yu Lan and then moved away.

"Excuse me, are you the owner of the invitation letter?" Although it was a question, he was very sure that Mi Ji had used someone else's invitation letter.

Behind Yu Lan was Xina, who was being held down by her. Lily rubbed her neck to comfort her angry mood.

That man... was the man who had deceived her and imprisoned her!

[Calm down, it's not the right time yet.] Yu Lan said to her in her heart. Xina came back to her senses, put away her sharp nails, and told Yu Lan that she was her enemy.

Yu Lan nodded to show that she understood and patted her hands.

She didn't find the boss's scent strange, but rather very clean, as if it had been specially cleaned.

But it's weird because it's so clean.

Yu Lan observed him calmly, and Mi Ji on the side also answered his question.

He nodded and answered directly: "The auction does not prohibit borrowing other people's invitations."

Even so, the auctioneer knew the identity of the owner of this invitation. He sent so many invitations to Hill, but he responded for the first time. He was happy to come and see him, but found that the person who came was not him.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat disappointed: "Yes."

The auctioneer rubbed his fingers and asked nervously, "Do you know where the owner of the invitation is? I want to meet him."

After these words were spoken, Mi Ji and the others looked at each other in surprise.

They remembered what Hill said when he gave them the invitation: "If anyone asks, just say you found it in the trash can," but now someone really asked.

Should I say this? It sounds particularly unreliable.

Mi Ji hesitated for a moment, and under Yu Lan's urging eyes, he said helplessly: "I don't know where the owner of the invitation letter is, I picked it up."

"Picked it up?"

"Pick it up."

The auctioneer obviously didn't believe this. He laughed at himself and said, "It seems he is still angry with me."

There are melons.

Yu Lan's body trembled. What the auction boss said was a big news!

She thought about the relationship between them in her mind. The auction owner's attitude was obviously that he had no resentment towards Hill, and he even felt a little...guilt?

Hill obviously disliked the auctioneer.

However, Hina said that she was imprisoned by the auction owner.

Did Hill know that his sister was imprisoned by the auctioneer? If he knew, he would definitely want to kill the auctioneer. The auctioneer also knew that the person he imprisoned was Hill's sister? If he knew, why did he imprison Hina?

The current situation is too complicated. Yu Lan looked at the auction owner with a numb face, hoping to find some flaws on his face.

However, the auctioneer always had a gentle smile on his face, without a single flaw. He just sat there as if he was recalling something.

Others couldn't stand this atmosphere, but they didn't want to kick him out, after all, he was the boss of the auction.

Feeling the hand behind her trembling with anger, as if she could no longer hold it in, Yu Lan could only give Gu Yan a look, then dragged Xina to the cubicle to hide, and wait until the auction boss left before coming out.

The sound of Yu Lan's movement brought the auctioneer back to his senses. He smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. He and I... have a past, but he has always avoided me."

"That's a private matter between you two. I spent the money." Mi Ji said without any hesitation, even with a bit of recklessness.

This sentence reflects that he is not familiar with the boss and he is just a customer who paid for the invitation letter. Even if he wants to find Hill, he should not look for him.

"That's right." The auctioneer laughed and changed the subject: "Have you heard that a tavern in the city was broken into and vandalized a while ago."

The pub he was talking about was exactly the underground casino. Mi Ji's heart tightened. Why did they suddenly bring up this matter? Had their identities been discovered?

He said without changing his expression: "I heard about it, but I don't know who is causing trouble at this critical moment."

"Yes... There are a lot of outsiders during this period." The auction owner played with the pinky ring in his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "Guests, please be careful. If you bid on valuable items, we can provide escort services."

Mi Ji was unsure of what he meant, so he said with a fake smile: "Thank you for your concern, boss. You don't have to worry about this matter. We are just here to join in the fun."

Speaking of the auction, the auctioneer became more excited and smiled a little wider: "Yes, after all, they are rare elves. From what I know, many powerful magicians are here."

"The information I heard before is all different. Why don't you tell us what this elf is all about?" Mi Ji showed a curious expression on his face: "Elves are rare nowadays."

"Of course." The auctioneer nodded. Most of the people in the venue came for the half-elf. It was okay to talk to Mi Ji at this time. It would be best if it could arouse people's competitive spirit. The more intense the competition, the more money they can make.

Just half-elves, as many as you want.

The auctioneer briefly told them the information about the half-elf, which was similar to what Hill had told them. Seeing that he could not find out more information, Mi Ji lost interest.

At this time, a female voice spoke.

Yu Lan walked out of the compartment and looked at the auctioneer with a suspicious look on her face: "Where did this half-elf come from? Did you catch it?"

Mi Ji looked at Yu Lan with some confusion, not knowing why she suddenly spoke, but followed her wishes and asked the auction owner.

"He was caught." The auctioneer had an unchanging smile on his face, but the truthfulness of his words was unknown.

Yu Lan nodded indifferently: "The auction is about to start, so we won't keep you here, boss. After all, you are a very busy man."

The auctioneer's eyes flashed. He looked at Yu Lan, not knowing what he was thinking: "What's your name?"

"An Ting." Yu Lan didn't want to say her real name, so she just said a name casually.

"An Ting?" The auctioneer repeated the strange name, and it was obvious that it was a fake name. He smiled and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. If there is anything, you can call the waiter outside to do it. If you want to increase the auction, you can also ask them to do it for you."

Having said that, he stood up, bowed slightly to those present, and left the room.

After he left, Yu Lan pulled off her hood in anger and yelled, "What the hell, they set up an underground breeding ground!"

"Xiao Yu, what do you mean?" Gu Yan asked in confusion. Could it be that the underground breeding ground is what they thought it was...?

"They captured a group of elves and non-human creatures." Yu Lan gritted her teeth and whispered, deliberately not letting Xina hear: "Under this auction, they raised a group of non-humans and forced them to reproduce, and a group of magicians performed experiments on them."

"Those half-elves that are born well and are considered useful will be used for experiments, and the remaining ones with defects will be trained and auctioned off." The half-elves being auctioned today are the ones that the group of magicians believed had genetic defects and could not be used. It would not be a loss for them to sell them at a high price.

Elves have difficulty reproducing. Although they can reproduce sexually, they usually rely on elven mother trees to produce new life, not to mention elves reproducing with other species. Reproductive isolation alone is a problem. It is conceivable how excessive the experiments conducted by the auction are.

Now even Erwin was a little angry.

"What?!" Mi Ji said in surprise: "How did you know this news?"

"I released the ghosts in the cemetery to gather information. They searched down there and found this. They also said there's a very dangerous being down there and told me to be careful."

"This is troublesome." Gu Yan frowned and said, if it was the ghost who said it was dangerous but Yu Lan didn't take it seriously, then it would be fine. But now even Yu Lan said it was dangerous, so their chances of winning are much less.

"What should we do now?"

Yu Lan took a deep breath to calm the inexplicable anger in her heart. She saw Erwin's angry expression and calmed down immediately.

"What else can I do? I don't believe I can't defeat him." Yu Lan snorted: "Protect the small and gain the big, let's do this for now..."

Yu Lan quickly thought of a solution. She talked it over with Gu Yan and the others. After thinking for a moment, everyone thought it was feasible.

"But, with such a huge chaos, can we handle it alone?" Yu Lan's plan was very ambitious, and she wanted to lift the roof off the entire auction. With the resources they had at hand, it felt too much of a stretch.

"You are stupid. Let them fight each other and we will take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters. This way no one will find out." Yu Lan sneered. If you dare to do something wrong, you must be determined to bear the consequences.

Seeing Yu Lan's confident look, Mi Ji and the others could only do as she said. Soon, the entire auction venue became quiet, and the auction began.

The first items to be auctioned were some that were not very common but not very expensive. Everyone gave the auction a thumbs up and bought them all.

Next came the stage of auctioning living creatures. A little elf was pulled up and placed in an appearance formation.

Like the ghosts in the human world, the elves also don't like humans seeing them. At this time, the elves were watched by everyone, especially their eyes were not kind, so they couldn't help but feel impatient.

They started to struggle, but the waiter next to them saw the opportunity and whipped them. The braid was mixed with iron wire, and the elves hated metal the most, so they lay down weakly after being beaten.

"Fire elf, starting price 190 million Gold." The person next to him shouted, and then the magic stone next to him lit up, which meant someone was bidding.
