Live Kexue in Kexue World

=========================

After walking out of the safe passage, following the arrow on the wall, Ruobin Chunliang and Qin Jiu came to the hall.

This is more like the venue of the auction that Dante Chen participated in. Except for the stage occupying a corner of the hall, the rest of the place is vacant. In a formal auction, the function of the open space should be a dance floor, or display The champagne tower is a place for people to socialize.

But now it looks like a refuge after an earthquake.

Maintaining basic etiquette in panic is the best that most people can do. The status quo of more people is that unspeakable phenomena make their spirits precarious, and they are suddenly attacked under such circumstances.

Pain will awaken a part of reason, and after thinking about it, you will find that the status quo is worse than before.

Wakabayashi Chunliang looked around, and saw Kudo Shinichi and the squinting man standing in front of him, blocking most of his sight from an inconspicuous corner on the edge.

【My super reasoning is the strongest: That's Shuichi Akai. 】

If Lin Chunliang retracts his eyes, he is not sure that Gin can deny him. Fortunately, Kudo Shinichi looks like a child, otherwise there is a certain chance that Gin will recognize him.

Just as I was thinking this way, a voice that shouldn't appear here no matter how I thought about it sounded from behind: "Professor Wakabayashi!"

As soon as he turned around, Ruolin Chunliang saw a young man who made him fall into silence.

The unshrunk "Kudo Shinichi" was trotting towards him avoiding the bustling crowd.

He can understand that there are too many acquaintances here, and he wants to approach without being guarded. It is completely reasonable to choose the identity of someone who will never appear here and has ties to him.

But it's not good who you choose, so you choose such an identity, Kidd!

It is not yet confirmed whether Qin Jiu has recognized it, but at least now he will not do it lightly. Ruolin Chunliang feels that he needs to remind him a little.

"Why do you want to find someone and finally come to me?" Ruolin Chunliang said with a smile, "I haven't seen Dan Techen yet. But I still want to thank you for helping us, and I'm sorry for letting you fall into this. in the predicament.”

Kidd licked his lips, as if he understood that Ruobin Chunliang had seen through his identity: "This auction...what is going on with this game?"

Looks like he got that card too.

"I don't know any more than you. This is a planned and deliberate thing. There is no doubt about it."

"The people who attacked others in the corridor were all dead, and the photos pasted on the door were all gray. Someone tried to tell the attackers to stop, but they didn't seem to listen at all, as if they were cursed."

"Wait a minute, there is still too little information that can be confirmed..."

When the overhead lights were turned off, the spotlights focused on the stage, and the noisy hall fell silent.

The voice of clearing the throat came from behind the curtain, which was completely mechanically synthesized, without any emotion or tone, just for the purpose of statement.

"Welcome everyone to the auction. I believe all buyers already have a certain understanding of the rules of the auction, so I won't go into details here. Let's start the auction on the first day—"

The red curtain slowly opened, and something that could not be described in words appeared on the stage.

It should be some kind of arthropod, with a sticky gray-green cephalothorax in an irregular oval shape, with dozens of pairs of eyes randomly distributed, and every blink of an eye involves a thin thread of liquid that is pulled.The head and chest are connected with six pairs of slender limbs. The first segment was still solid carapace, as if it was used to erect the entire torso, while the second and third segments became soft and fat tentacles, almost occupying the entire stage.

It doesn't match that mechanical sound at all, it's more like a witness standing here silently to maintain order.

The moment it saw it, the black cat gave a warning.

"You have witnessed a product that should not have appeared in this world. You know better than anyone else the emptiness of its existence. It is a miracle that can only be recorded in the library and seen by people at the cost of countless lives.

"At this moment, you heard some kind of creaking sound, and soon you realized that it was the sound of teeth chattering and colliding together.

"The body of the creature in front of you is so hideous, it doesn't move at all, but it undulates like waves in your eyes, like the gills of countless dead fish placed side by side, followed by a stench similar to dead fish.

"The only good thing is the sound it makes, which is the language of benevolent humans. But even so, you who tried to understand this scene still received a big blow."

"Then, Ruolin Chunliang, the professor of mysticism, will now conduct a sanity check. If he succeeds, he will randomly deduct 1-5 sanity, and if he fails, he will randomly deduct 5-10 sanity."

"34"

[Successful sanity check]

[Updated data... sanity: 45/80]

Sanity value is less than 50, and the automatic protection function of the system has been activated from the beginning.

Ruolin Chunliang: "..."

It's been a long time since I can't see the face, but can only see the mosaic and the text on it.

Not only him, everyone who saw this thing was probably forced to pass a sanity check.

Ruo Lin Chunliang turned his head to look at Qin Jiu beside him, a brief [trance] appeared on his face, followed by [impatient].

It seems that this gentleman has a problem.

The more serious problem is Kidd. [Doubt life] and […] appear alternately on his face. It is impossible to understand whether it is the confusion after the evaporation of reason to a certain extent, or pure speechlessness.

It was also at this time when everyone was restless, there was a sudden scream in the distance, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground one after another.

A circle was suddenly vacated in the crowd, and there were three [at a loss] people standing in the circle, the shorter one was covering the young man with brown wavy hair next to him, and the one with the strongest physique Simply stand in place.

Even if he couldn't see the face, Ruolin Chunliang could be sure that the person with such a physique would only be Brandy.

[My super-reasoning is the strongest: the irrational person wants to attack the person around him, and that person happens to be Dan Techen who is blocking the realization of the white horse detective, let alone whether he caused harm to him and violated the rules, just Touching him is deadly enough. 】

Ruolin Chunliang: "This kind of passive attack does not seem to be counted as a violation. Kidd said that he saw that the people who attacked others were dead, and now they are lying on the ground, but Dan Techen is still fine. It's just that he didn't know Has rule three been triggered now?"

Rule three, as long as you participate in the killing of other humans, you can avoid the curse.

[My super reasoning is the strongest: according to the literal meaning, it should be triggered. If he did not violate the rules, then Dante Chen and Xing Zhicai should be treated separately.And Dan Techen is the host that Xingzhicai can launch a counterattack. From another perspective, he is a trap for Xingzhicai to hunt for food. 】

But all of this can only be known after spending the night. Just looking at it now, Dan Techen still knows that there should be no problem blocking the white horse.

Ruolin Chunliang was concerned about another point: "Branty, is his mind okay?"

If he also went crazy, he might be able to overwhelm a group of people in an instant before being sanctioned by the rules.

"Don't worry, it's not just a matter of a day or two that his brain is bad. Brandy's brain doesn't allow him to try to understand...emergency mental retardation! Mental retardation is nothing to be afraid of!" Black Cat said indifferently.

Ruolin Chunliang: "..."

The people off the stage who were madly attacking because they lost their minds had all fallen to the ground, and the creatures on the stage made heavy sounds again.

"The first auction item—food and water for three days. The starting price is $10."

Almost immediately someone called out: "$10!"

"$20!" Some sellers immediately chased after the price.

Even after three or four rounds of bidding, the price remained below $200, which is completely different from the attitude of this group of sellers who spend a lot of money at charity auctions.

It can be seen that the initial funds obtained based on their own value pricing are not much.

If Lin Chunliang did not follow the asking price, he quietly waited for a figure close to the upper limit, and the abundance of 100w could at least guarantee his basic survival here.

However, this also proves that food and water are not the most important things in this game. If there is something very important, its price must be higher than that of the buyer with the highest funds.Otherwise, the effect of rule two will be weakened.

You need to buy and sell yourself in exchange for funds, and the person who is sold must obey all the instructions of the buyer-this is a desperate choice no matter how you look at it.

The price gradually rose to [-] US dollars, and there were not many people bidding at this time.

Except that some people haven't figured out the rules yet, Ruo Lin Chunliang guessed that they are still doubting the authenticity of this matter.

When he was about to start following the auction, someone called out a higher price.

This was a normal thing, but Qin Jiu's eyes sharpened instantly, and he walked towards the voice.

It seemed he had found what he was looking for.

The food and water were eventually sold to a woman for $[-].In the eyes of everyone, "Barely" was written on her face, and the flimsy dress that showed off her charm could not hide those unkind eyes.She was so helpless that her shoulders were shaking.

"The second auction item - a door lock that cannot be opened no matter what, the starting price is 50000 US dollars."

[My super reasoning is the strongest: It seems that the door cannot be locked. 】

"Not only that, the price gradient has increased significantly." Ruolin Chunliang said while thinking, "This is to stimulate consumption, especially for buyers who bought food and water."

It may be okay tonight, those high-ranking chaebols who maintain their rationality will not let themselves be driven by huge profits so quickly, but there are still some buyers whose rationality has evaporated for various reasons.

And the ruthless person who made up his mind from the beginning not to pretend.

Violence is not prohibited at night, and the owner of the food and water is a woman whose physical fitness is far inferior to her own.

Perhaps thinking of this, the [reluctance] on the woman's face almost immediately changed to [fear].

The auction for the door locks went better than for the food, the price went from 20 to [-], and there were no more bids after that.

When the countdown to determine the price was about to end, Ruolin Chunliang slowly said, "21."

"22." Someone gritted their teeth and asked the price.

Ruolin Chunliang: "23."

"...24."

Ruolin Chunliang: "25."

"Thirty!" The man who called out the price gasped and sweated profusely, and said, "I'll offer 30!"

If Lin Chunliang wasn't following the price, the moment the [ecstasy] appeared on the man's face, the tentacles on the stage suddenly moved.What happened in just a second, the [ecstasy] on that man's face was permanently frozen on his face, he was dragged away from the place by the tentacles, caught in the huge tentacles, and disappeared.

"You can't quote a price higher than your own funds." The voice of the mechanical voice weighed heavily on everyone's mind.

There was silence in the hall, save for the grunt of tentacles stirring.The breath of death and despair spread undisguisedly.

Ruolin Chunliang broke the silence, and said slowly, "My price is still 25, can I continue to bid?"

"can."

But this time no one bid against him, and the lock was sold to Wakabayashi Chunliang for $25.

"The third auction item - the qualification to leave here immediately. The starting price is 1000000 U.S. dollars."

It's just that Ruolin Chunliang moved immediately after hearing the price. He ran straight to the woman who bought the food before, grabbed her wrist, and quickly said in her ear in a voice that only she could hear: "I use the door lock The right to use it and you in exchange for a day's food." Then he took the people and ran to the elevator.

After he gave a price of 21 yuan to participate in this auction, he approached the woman at a slow speed, and the sudden explosion made many people around him unresponsive.

When they made a move, a big man followed Ruolin Chunliang firmly, blocking the footsteps of most of them for him.

Brandy crossed his arms around his chest, and didn't intend to do anything. At the moment when violence is prohibited, excellent physical fitness may not be able to intimidate everyone, but Dante Chen who is slowly following him

But it has to be dreadful.

Someone mopped up, Ruobayashi Chunliang smoothly brought the woman to his room.He glanced at the door when he entered, and sure enough, as Kidd said, more than half of the color photos at the door were grayed out, including the man who was swept away by the tentacles just now.

In the room, there is a simple-looking U-shaped lock on the sofa. This should be what Ruolin Chunliang took a picture of, so correspondingly, the food and water that the woman bought should also be staying in her room.

Fortunately, there was no sign of a guest outside the door, otherwise Ruo Lin Chunliang would now have to consider the possibility that someone else would go to her room in advance to steal food and water.

After locking the door with the lock he bought, Ruo Lin Chunliang turned around and saw the woman sitting on the sofa, covering her face with her hands, crying in a trembling voice: "This...what the hell is going on..."

"I've noticed that you don't have much money, you shouldn't be bidding for food." Ruolin Chunliang walked up to her and proposed his deal again, "I can exchange the right to use the door lock with you for a day's food , which is a great deal for you and at least two days of security."

He clearly and simply gave women a reasonable and feasible solution:

"In the next few auctions, it will be impossible for you to buy food for $[-] again. When you have no food, you can use the door lock to exchange with those who have food. "

The woman stared at him blankly: "You...you are the gentleman who bid for the box before..."

Ruolin Chunliang was noncommittal.

"I...I still have money, so I can participate in the auction."

"Then please be careful."

She hesitated for a long time and said, "Maybe... maybe I can live in this room at night, and we can share the door lock, so your safety can be guaranteed."

Ruo Lin Chunliang smiled lightly, this heartfelt smile made the woman's expression appear [absence] for a moment.

"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am, but none of us know what the curse at night means. Under the curse, no one is trustworthy." He said, "If I want to lay hands on you, you may not live anyway Not until the music starts playing again."

The woman was intimidated by his simple statement of fact.

"However, if you are willing to trust me, I can always provide you with food, but there is only one condition, of course, under the premise of ensuring your safety."

"What... what?"

"At tomorrow's auction, please sell yourself to me."

The woman almost jumped up from the sofa, and the look of [vigilance] firmly occupied the entire face.

"Then in the third auction, I will send you to the auction stage again, and let my partners buy you from me. Please rest assured, my partners are all trustworthy people."

The woman was confused by his scheme: "Do this, why are you doing this..."

The black cat didn't understand what he wanted to do, only Edogawa Ranpo understood what he meant.

[My super reasoning is the strongest: Do you want to use one medium to collect all the funds for all character cards? 】

"Yes." Wakabayashi Chunliang said simply.

A qualification to leave here is 100 million US dollars, which is already the start-up capital before he participated in any auction. It is obviously impossible to take the box away.

He needs more money, but at an auction there is only one way to spend money, whether it is buying someone else or auctioning something else, there is no way to get the money back.

But in fact, it is possible. The second rule says that the person who sells himself can buy himself back at the starting price of the auction, which means that he is a "goods" that can stand on the auction stage.

In this game, everyone is a commodity, and the value of the commodity will gradually increase in the auction.

Buy with 30 and sell with 20, and there will be a profit of [-]. After this cycle, all the money can flow into Ruobayashi Chunliang's pocket.

And at present, it seems that buying other buyers has no real meaning, except for those buyers who are greedy for her food and water, so that she can get what she already has in the form of orders.

But when her price is much higher than food and water, her market will immediately decrease.

The only ones who will buy her are those who are willing to transfer funds to Ruolin Chunliang's side.

"But even if this is the case, the sum of the funds you can have is just the sum of all the character cards. Some people may..." Black Cat chose the wording, "Maybe it's not that valuable."

"So I spent 25 yuan to buy the door lock." Ruolin Chunliang chuckled, "When tomorrow starts, everyone will know how valuable a thing that can make you sleep peacefully is after a night like this gone."

"This safety will become the most expensive thing for those kind people."

It's a bit late because I haven't finished writing

The poorest character card is ***, he is super poor
