Qi Yao Inn

Chapter 52 Auction

Facts have proved that someone Peng may belong to the crow.

Li Yize gave him a "shut up" look, and pulled him into the line where there was no writing, and lined up to pass the "security check" in an orderly manner.

Everything was normal at first, Peng Yu walked in front and handed over the number plate very calmly, the other party was also absent-minded, and let him go with a "hmm", but when it was Li Yize's turn, the staff showed a puzzled expression : "Strange, why is it a serial number?"

Peng Yu had already passed by, but his ears were still stunned. Hearing his words made him feel cold - they hadn't observed what other people's number plates looked like before, and they didn't know that there shouldn't be consecutive numbers here. .

Li Yize did not open his mouth to explain, but stared at the opponent's eyes. The dragon's eyes instantly verticalized and returned to normal in an instant, but the strange thing was that the opponent did not respond at all. His spell seemed to be consumed by something after it was sent out. imposed on the opponent.

The staff looked up at him for three seconds: "It's a bit unfamiliar..."

As he spoke, he picked up something similar to a barcode scanner at hand, and "ticked" on the number plate, a red light flashed, and the blindfold was unraveled, and the English word "NEW" was revealed again.

This time even Li Yize himself was shocked, he never expected that his blindfold could be broken so easily, and the staff immediately called back Peng Yu, who almost got in, and scanned his number plate, revealing his true colors.

"What's going on?" He looked at the two of them suspiciously, frowning vigorously, "What do you mean? Why cover up the letters on it?"

"I don't know," Peng Yu immediately pretended to be stupid when he saw that the matter was exposed, "It was like this when it was given to me. I just asked a big brother, and he said that there is no 'NEW' to go this way, so I came here."

The staff was dubious, returned the number plate to them, and pointed to the left: "Go over there, don't make trouble."

Peng Yu hurriedly apologized, dragged Li Yize to the left and re-queued. At the same time, he cut off the Bluetooth call with Zhu Li, and asked his own dragon in a low voice: "What's the matter? Your magic has been conquered by modern technology?"

"That's definitely not modern technology." Li Yize's gaze was still on the "scanner". "I just used hypnosis on him and it didn't work. My spell seemed to be dispelled by something, or...eat it."

"Eat?" Peng Yu didn't quite understand this statement, "What do you mean?"

Li Yize shook his head, as if he couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply stopped discussing this topic with him: "Anyway, it's very strange—you should think about how we can 'carry private goods'."

The mobile phone must not be worn anymore, Peng Yu thought about it, first secretly changed the feather on the wrist to stick it, then took off the hearing aid, and pinned it to the inside of the belt buckle.

The good thing about this thing is that it's compact. Anyway, the body search is the body search, and he can't let him take off his pants.

Li Yize looked at the place where he hid his things, and fell silent.

The column on the left walked extremely slowly because of strict inspections. It took nearly 10 minutes for them to move to the front. Peng Yu obediently handed in his mobile phone and watch, but was fumbled by the staff all over his body. They took it out, and Li Yize was found a black jade finger, and they put it all in a sealed bag.

He stared at the other party dangerously for three seconds, and said word by word: "I'll come out to get it later, it's with you, it's without you."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the venue without looking back.

Peng Yu looked at the staff member's expression like he was eating shit, he hurriedly said haha, and ran away.

It was almost two o'clock in the morning, but the auction venue was brightly lit. This venue could accommodate several hundred people, and the seats opened up in a ladder shape, so even the last row could be seen clearly.

The two found the seats numbered "133" and "134". Li Yize sat down first, while Peng Yu went to find out where the bathroom was. The feather was stuck back on the inside of the arm, and the hearing aid was removed from the belt buckle and put back on the ear.

He reached out and pressed a small button on the hearing aid—this is a temporary rescue device designed by Zhou Huai for him. When all electronic devices are taken away, the hearing aid can be temporarily used as a mobile phone. Unfortunately, because of its small size, its functions are limited , only one button can be placed, and when it is pressed, the call will be automatically dialed to the nearest contact.

He has never used this function before, and he doesn't know whether Zhou Huai's product is reliable or not. The only thing he knows is that this function consumes a lot of electricity, and it can only last for two hours at most.A few seconds later, Zhu Li's voice rang in his ears again, and he asked anxiously, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly hang up the phone just now?"

Peng Yu didn't answer right away, but gave him a "shh" to signal him to be quiet, flushed the water and opened the door, pretending to have just had a rest, washed his hands, and fiddled with his hair twice in front of the mirror .

He tidied up his clothes and went out. It happened that someone came out from the inside at this time, and he walked to the door first. Peng Yu only saw his side face, but his heart skipped a beat.

The man disappeared after leaving the bathroom. Peng Yu glanced at the seats but couldn't find him, so he hesitated and walked to the back row.

When he returned to his place, Li Yize saw him frowning and thought there was something wrong with the hearing aid, so he asked, "What's wrong? Didn't contact them?"

Peng Yu shook his head and sat down, still looking around, and said in a low voice, "I seem to have met an acquaintance just now."

Li Yize was silent for three seconds: "Didn't you say that you won't meet acquaintances in such a far place? To what extent are you acquainted? Is it an enemy or a friend?"

"I'm still surprised," Peng Yu scanned again, but still didn't find the "suspicious person" just now, "I only saw a side face, which seemed familiar, and I should have seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember who it was— — is more likely to be friend than foe, I hope he doesn't see me."

Li Yize didn't answer, Peng Yu said again: "Do you think I should buy a lottery ticket? It's several provinces away, and there are only a few hundred people here, how could I really meet them?"

Li Yize looked at him, and said in a bad tone: "I don't know if you want to buy a lottery ticket, but I think you should really shut up."

Peng Yu: "..."

When the two were talking, no one noticed a person standing behind the small door leading to the back stage behind the auction stage. Most of his body was hidden in the darkness, only half of his face was exposed, and his eyes were facing Peng Yu and the others. in the direction.

The auction hadn't started yet, and the scene was very noisy. Peng Yu took this opportunity to explain the situation to Zhu Li clearly, and said, "I've already bought those pangolins, and I just sent them to the billiard hall. Isn't it there, you guys meet it."

Zhu Li replied good, and Peng Yu said again: "I'll see if I can buy that monster back later. If not, I'll have to force it. Anyway, there are all the stolen goods now, and they can't run away even if they want to." .”

"Doutu has asked some immortals to block the billiard hall," Zhu Li said, "Don't worry, they haven't noticed yet. If you want to take action, remember to let us know and let's go together. I'll talk to Doutu about the enchantment Now, they should have a way to crack it."

Peng Yu came down and lazily leaned back in the chair, just waiting for the auction to start. Suddenly he found something, and pointed to the top of his head: "What is carved on this lamp? Why does it look so familiar?"

Li Yize looked up following his pointing—the chandelier in the venue was quite luxurious, with a diameter of three to four meters. Just one light illuminated the entire venue. The most special thing is that the pattern on the lamp is not meaningless. Turning around, but forming some strange pattern.

He looked at it for a while and gave the answer: "It's chaos."

"... Chaos?" Peng Yu observed carefully in surprise, and he saw that the pattern looked like a big dog, with feet but no claws, eyes but not open, it was undoubtedly chaos.

So his newly flattened eyebrows frowned again: "We killed a 'Qongqi' before, and now another Chaos came out. Is this... a coincidence?"

Li Yize shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't feel any evil spirit at all, not in the whole venue."

Peng Yu instantly understood what he meant - they had confirmed that a pangolin monster was going to be auctioned, but there was no monster aura in the venue, either something blocked the monster aura, or the previous seller was lying to them.

If it is the former one, it means that "no evil spirit" is actually an illusion, so Li Yize is not sure whether the chaos on the chandelier is just a pattern or has some other meaning.

Peng Yu pursed his lips, feeling that the seemingly peaceful venue suddenly became dangerous, and the gorgeous chandelier seemed to have turned into a knife hanging above people's heads.

In the past 2000 years, he has never been manipulated so much, and he couldn't help thinking more and more, and even wanted to screw up the auction directly, and give this guy who had nothing to do with the demon's life to his dragon for dinner.

Although Li Yize said that he doesn't like cannibalism.

Peng Yu endured and endured, and finally held back his anger, and then silently let them be listed in his "revenge" notebook.

At two o'clock in the morning, the auction started on time, but Peng Yu's biological clock kept telling him that it was time to sleep.He wasn't interested in those things in front of him. Anyway, none of these people could run away after the auction, so he just leaned on Li Yize's shoulder and dozed off.

There are not many things in the auction, but without exception, they are all demons. From the canary that can speak human language at the beginning, to the kitten demon that can take human form later, they are all locked in cages and auctioned off as commodities .

Li Yize's grudges are more ruthless than Peng Yu's. Whoever made the bid, who showed the expression "I want it", and whoever took the demon in the end, he remembered all of them, and he didn't intend to let any of them go.

"The following is the finale of this auction..."

Li Yize poked Peng Yu to signal him to get up quickly, and the latter yawned long and reluctantly sat up straight: "Who the hell chose such an inhuman time..."

He stopped abruptly in the middle of his conversation, because he clearly saw two staff members push out a cage from the backstage, and a young boy with thin limbs was trapped in the cage. Because the size of the cage was very cramped, he could only wait in a kneeling position. There is a collar around the neck, and the exposed skin is covered with a few scales, extending from the back to the tailbone, and stretched out, connected to a long tail.

When Peng Yu saw the length of the tail, he knew it was definitely not a native Chinese pangolin. He squinted his eyes to make a careful distinction: "Tree pangolins? They really dare to catch anything."

The two staff members worked together to lift the cage to the auction stage, and the auctioneer began to explain passionately again, but Peng Yu didn't listen to a word. His eyes were firmly locked on the boy, and he could only see that he was trying to struggle—— —After turning into a human form, he lost most of his protective scales, and his skin was already bruised from constant friction in the iron cage.

But no one cares whether the pangolin hurts or not. The more the auctioneer talks, the more excited he is. Once excited, he starts to shoot the cage. Even if the timid pangolin takes human form, it can’t change its nature. The auctioneer will get excited when he shoots the cage , The iron cage rattled, and the skin was scratched and bled by the wire, which aroused people's stronger desire for sadism.

Peng Yu didn't know what was associated with this scene, but felt that the air in the venue was dirty, making him more and more out of breath. He unbuttoned his collar and let out a long breath: "To be honest, I really love him. Mom is so sick that she wants to vomit."

Li Yize seemed to know what he was thinking, stared at him for a while with a complicated expression, and lightly clasped his wrist: "Don't think about it, it's all over."

Peng Yu sneered, and looked condescendingly at the backs of those dark heads: "Look at these people, how are they different from the immortals who wanted to subdue dragons as mounts back then? I don't think the heavens are so bad, but It is the problem of human beings themselves, they have cultivated into immortals and sealed their gods, but the bad roots in their bones have not been washed away, and they have been brought up layer by layer, climbing to the highest point, and finally becoming orthodox."

"...Peng Yu."

"It is obvious that human beings themselves have polluted the Three Realms, but I am still trying to excuse them," he said, holding up the "133" plate next to his seat, and making a "10" with his hand, "Why? Because of me I am also a human being, and I am the same as them, unwilling to admit the evil deeds committed by my own race, as if denying them is also denying myself."

The auctioneer held the microphone, and his voice echoed in the venue: "The starting price is 100 million... Okay, this gentleman has doubled it ten times! 1000 million for the first time..."

Li Yize frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Calm down."

"I'm very calm." Peng Yu accepted people's gazes calmly, "Animals are sold in cages, and people will say that they are just animals, low-level creatures, and they don't deserve real sympathy. Kill, the meat still has to be eaten."

"But what is being auctioned now is a demon that has turned into a human form, so is it a human or a demon? Will one day, when people see their own kind being stuffed into cages for auction, they will ignore their pleas for help as they do now? , instead raised the number plate in his hand, excitedly participated in the bidding, and completely turned them into a commodity that can be bought and sold at will?"

"So what is the difference between this kind of behavior... and human traffickers? People hate and criticize human traffickers, but they want to be lenient towards the trafficking of demons and protected animals?"

"Bid No. 68... 1000 two million!"

The corners of Peng Yu's mouth curled up slightly, but his smile was cold: "Rules are not made by one person, but by a group of people. When one person thinks that 'demon' can be sold as a commodity, people will think that he sick, and when billions of people think so, it becomes an unwritten rule."

He raised his number plate again: "There are not many people who agree with this point of view. If I don't take advantage of it now to kill them in the cradle, I don't know what it will be like one day. After staying at the top of the pyramid for a long time, is it right?" Do you think you don’t need a foundation? Bullying a few little monsters is nothing, if the monster army really comes over, ask how many of them dare to accept the move?”

"Mr. No. 133... It has doubled ten times! 2000 million!"

"This kind of rubbish... Do I want to keep them for the New Year?"

The two sentences overlapped, but Li Yize heard them word for word. He silently lowered his eyes and decided not to persuade someone anymore.

Of course he knew that Peng Yu, a profiteer, could not be willing to pay so much money, and he would not spend money in this kind of way. Such an exaggerated price increase was just to make the amount involved in this auction bigger and the transaction amount more. In the end, when it is traced, the greater the responsibility that the auctioneer has to bear.

"2000 million for the first time, 2000 million for the second time..."

Peng Yu seemed to be so angry that he said he was calm, but he never stopped thinking: "These bastards want something but don't want to pay for it. Do you really think there will be pie in the sky?"

Li Yize simply didn't answer his words, and he had already waited in advance for three seconds of silence for the people below, thinking that it was not good for them to hit someone with a gun, and he wanted to hit the person surnamed Peng.

"2000 million for the third time...deal!"

The auction hammer finally fell, knocking the scene into silence, and then a group of people began to applaud without knowing who started booing.

Li Yize leaned into Peng Yu's ear and said, "They seem to think you can't afford the money."

Peng Yu said "Oh" indifferently: "Let them feel it. Nine out of ten 'face slaps' in this world are all felt by them."

The staff quickly removed the cage that held the pangolin. The auctioneer cleared his throat and suddenly showed an inscrutable smile: "The following is the last lot of this auction. I guarantee that everyone here has never seen it before. , to be able to see the true appearance of this lot, I feel that Sansheng is lucky."

Peng Yu was planning to pack up his things and leave, but when he heard his words, he stopped his steps, a little curious about what heavyweight things they could produce besides a few monsters.

"Next, we invite this lot to appear on the stage. Please keep your eyes open, don't miss it."

As the auctioneer's voice fell, the lights on the scene went out one by one, and the whole venue was suddenly plunged into darkness. Then a beam of lights suddenly lit up, shaking back and forth in the pitch-black venue, and finally settled on seat 134——Li Yize body.
