Starship Tracker

Chapter 5 [edit]

Looking at the auction items on display, Bishop felt a little complicated. He touched his neck, thinking that his head was once placed in such a strange way.

In the picture, besides showing some precious equipment, there are actually people. Bishop was secretly surprised. Is there such a blatant human trafficking in the lawless area now?

A fifteen or six-year-old child, his hands and feet were tightly tied to the booth with black leather straps, and the red marks were very conspicuous through his fair skin. He looked around in horror, but he could do nothing, so he had to Let the bidder decide his unknown fate.

Looking at the introduction of the picture, this child is a guide who has just awakened. The guide itself is extremely precious, making the original high starting price reach nearly one million star coins.Bishop sighed, didn't expect the management of the federal army to be so lax.

"Can you save him?" Bishop said to Hunter beside him. He did not have the right to decide everything, and Hunter had the real right to speak.

Hunter didn't answer Bishop quickly, but looked at the picture without saying a word, as if hesitating, then he sighed and marked the picture of the teenager shown.

Bessie's mother was placed on the cold stage for auction in the same way. Hunter thought about the past, but unfortunately he was just a well-known leader who had just gained a foothold here, and he rescued her in the future. That time He put all his worth into the auction.

Looking at this young man, the past reappeared in front of his eyes.Although Hunter is not the same now, but the annual transaction price is increasing day by day, it is not easy to take pictures of that boy, "there is little hope of success, and the bidding price will soon exceed [-] million, which is beyond my Budget."

Bishop nodded in understanding.Since Hunter was able to make a move, he gave the boy a chance to save him.If he could not be rescued successfully, Bishop would have no complaints. After all, because he was part of the Sirius Legion, without Hunter and Gray, he would only be a corpse. Now all he can do is Let's hope the teenager's fate is not too bad.

Later, Bishop also found several children who were also bid, they were tied to the stage just like the boy, and they seemed to be in pain with their eyes closed, waiting for their fate to be mastered.

The information of those teenagers is somewhat different. Their starting bids are much lower, and a special symbol is added next to the label that says guide.

Is there any special meaning, these same pale teenagers make Bishop feel very wrong.

"They are 'artificial guides', which are similar in ability to real guides, but they are still different from natural guides, so the price will be lower." The waiter at the side explained.Then he said to Hunter in a relaxed tone as if he was selling a product, "If you have a demand, we have ample supply here, and we can make one that suits your taste."

Hunter frowned. Someone would risk the lives of children to do such research for the sake of huge profits. He knocked on the table, "Tell me, who made them?"

"Sorry, we can't disclose any information." The man bowed very politely as an apology.

Bishop was watching their reactions and pondered. Judging from Hunter's attitude, the man-made guide should have appeared on the black market recently. Naturally, this thing has something to do with human trafficking. From this point of view, some unknown force His organization has been experimenting with artificial guides for several years.

It's a pity that in the lawless zone, all of this will be considered reasonable. People here don't have any sense of justice or moral values, only the naked desire for money and power.I don't know if Hunter, who was originally a soldier, would also be dazzled by these desires. Bishop glanced at Hunter. At this time, several veins burst out on the opponent's forehead, obviously very angry.

"drop."

A mechanical sound issued a reminder, which meant that the auction was about to start.

The screen on the wall showed the first auctioned item, which was a silver vase from Cyril. The simple stand further highlighted the exquisiteness of the vase. The exquisite and precious patterns on the vase reflected under the light A dazzling brilliance.

Since the destruction of the Cyril Empire, a large number of treasures have been destroyed by war, but now this vase is very well preserved.The reserve price was 8 million star coins, and it was auctioned off to 3.8 million star coins at once, and was finally bought by a certain bidder at a transaction price of 5 million star coins.

Afterwards, the auction items were sold out quickly one by one, and it was the boy's turn. Bishop stared at the image on the screen.

"This child is 16 years old. He has just awakened and became a guide not long ago. His mental frequency is between 15 and 18000. The starting price is 80 star coins, and each bid cannot be lower than 10 star coins."

The auctioneer's voice came over the radio.

Hunter pressed the button beside him.

"90 star coins!" said the auctioneer.

"100 million star coins!" After a while, another bidder raised the price.

"110 million star coins!"

. . . . . .

The auction was very fierce, and the price kept soaring, and soon reached [-] million.At the end of the day, a few bidders still competed tirelessly, and every increase in the number tested the limits of the bidders.

"8 million star coins!"

Bishop was stunned that the boy was raised to such an astonishing price.Hunter stopped pressing the button anymore, because it was far beyond his budget, and it was hopeless to rescue the boy. The price of 8 million star coins was already equivalent to the output of the 8th district for two years. Now the 8th district needs funds for maintenance. Hunter can't put all his assets into it without worry like before.

Even if it reaches 8 million stars, the price has not stopped rising.

"9 trillion star coins!" The auctioneer's voice trembled a little. This is already a sky-high price. I didn't expect this guide to be so valuable.

9 trillion!Which lunatic said that!Bishop gasped. There are quite a few human beings who can afford this price, but they would rather go to Capital Planet to abduct and sell guides than pay a large price to buy one, unless it is a special case.

Maybe it's a Sentinel who has found his own destiny guide, if it is a person from outer space, it is also very possible, after all, it is not only human beings who have sentries.

In the end, the juvenile was successfully auctioned off at a price of 9 trillion star coins, and was bid by a person in a room numbered 308.

In room 308, a man in a luxurious uniform leaned leisurely on the sofa, shaking the glass wine glass in his hand, the liquid in the glass showed a bright and beautiful color under the light due to the shaking, the man took a sip, "Yes, the wine here Both the color and the taste are top grade, but they are not worth mentioning compared to the cellar collections in Eilat."

"Prince, please allow this subordinate to remove them." The guard beside the man said respectfully.

The man waved his hand, "No need, you guys go to complete the handover and bring the guide back safe and sound."

"Of order." The attendant left in a hurry.

The man thought to himself, the auction is such a waste of time, if he had known earlier, he would have raised the price at once.

"Dear First Prince, are you interested in the next few 'artificial guides'?" The waiter at the black market auction asked looking at the big buyer in front of him.

"I'm not interested in imitations," the eldest prince Etra didn't even look at him, "Stand back." How could he be interested in other inferior products after he had found his destined guide? The man called the prince continued to watch Information about the next item to be auctioned.

"Yes." After being rejected by the prince, the waiter did not show dissatisfaction, but walked away briskly.

Bishop sighed, and could only watch the boy being auctioned off. If the black market auction continued for a long time, it would increase the evil trend of some forces abducting and selling guides, which would not be conducive to the development of the Federation.

"I would like to see who is in that room." Hunter looked at the screen with interest, thinking about the identity of the person in Room 308.If it is a rich and ignorant young master, it is indeed possible to make friends with him, and it would be great if he can establish trade contacts.

Hunter picked up the bottle and blew on his mouth, "I'm sorry I'm used to drinking like this." Looking at Bishop's slightly surprised eyes, he said with a bold smile.

Then Bishop heard a canine bark beside Hunter, and then he saw Hunter's hand stroking something in mid-air.

"You may not see it. This is my spiritual body, the German Shepherd, named Bruce." Hunter explained to Bishop, and the vague figure seemed to call Bishop a few times, as if to say hello.

"Yeah." Bishop nodded towards it, and then turned his gaze back to the screen to look at the next auction item.

Hunt was already accustomed to the character of the general of the Sirius Legion, and he looked at the poor children called "artificial guides" on the screen together, and understood something.

Then try your best to rescue those teenagers, Hunter thought.

"If you want to auction those children, you have to prepare for the worst case of insufficient funds for purchasing intelligence," Hunter reminded Bishop, "Bishop, if we choose to save all those children, we may not be able to There is the rest of the money to exchange for information."

Although the assets for Hunter are not as many as that guy with 9 trillion stars coins, he still has assets as the person in charge of the 8th district, but today their main purpose is to trade information. If someone wants to increase the price like that guy, then Even if this trip is in vain.

Bishop thought that it would be good if some clues of the "artificial guide" could be found through these children. After all, it is a human experiment and it is related to the survival of human beings.

"Saving the next one counts as one."

Just as they were preparing for the next round of bidding, the waiter at the side seemed to have received some news from the wireless connection, "Mr. Hunter, the leader of our auction company invited you to come over. Your Excellency has the information you need."

Hunter is not happy that someone interrupted his plan, but the boss of the black market auction is also the leader of the entire intelligence agency. The information he controls is very important to Hunter and Bishop, but if you go at this time, you must Don't drop those "artificial guide" bids.

"Well, I'll ask my nephew Jack to meet your boss for me." Hunter gestured to Bishop, and Bishop immediately got up knowingly and walked to the waiter, "Please lead the way."

The waiter hesitated after hearing this, but he didn't dare to offend either side, so he had to lead Bishop away.
