The traders were constantly approaching, so the Horned Demon and his team had to disperse as soon as possible to avoid being caught behind the scenes.
Because of this, all problems must be solved against time. Jingxin, who regarded himself as a think tank, felt that the search efficiency of the sect's database was really bad. After forty or fifty "quick, quick, quick" words popped up in his teeth, the corresponding information was revealed:
"Wanta, the director of Lanzhen Welfare Institute in Linqiang District, Xiacheng, and the founder of the Creation Cult. Currently, there are 27 members in the sect, including 2 people with suspected abilities... What the hell?"
Fortunately, the follow-up information is somewhat valuable: "I have a good relationship with Ronan. Xie Junping, a formal member of the sect, is Ronan's best friend and has frequent interactions with him."
Jing Xin raised his head and cast a horrified look at the Horned Demon: "You actually let such a person participate in the auction and made him pay a deposit! Are you sure that this Wan... Dean Wan was not followed by Ronan or Ouyang Chen? , Wu Zhao or all of them?"
The Horned Demon was also very frightened: "Are you kidding! I didn't allow Xia Cheng's IP to join at all. This welfare dean must have used some means!"
Mahou was very considerate and comforted the two of them: "Xiacheng is not monolithic. The information flowing out from there every year is worth at least more than one billion. I don't know how many so-called 'insiders' are rich. Look, Jiao Jiao Isn’t the devil a living proof?”
The Horned Demon and Jing Xin ignored him, and the latter asked Fei Long: "Are you sure there is no one else hiding behind this guy?"
Fei Long said in a muffled voice: "He himself is in trouble, and he has already noticed the surveillance carrier."
The eyes of several people crossed each other, and finally they all focused on the Horned Demon. The latter was silent for about three seconds, and then laughed out loud: "If Ronan was summoned here in advance, many people would have very interesting expressions. But in my opinion, that little guy would rather come over directly." , and we won’t let an inexplicable character come to explore the situation. There are also more plastic brotherhoods in Xia Cheng..."
"Don't rush to a conclusion yet. The current situation is very complicated, much more complicated than we imagined." Jingxin went over the information from the participants again. The more he thought about it, the deeper he felt, but now he couldn't turn back no matter what. , otherwise evacuation will be a big problem, "We don't have enough time, let's disperse first, Feilong, you set up the communication network, and everyone can contact you at any time. Do the above work first, and then gradually straighten out the rest."
This is a sure way, but also an impossible way.
At the moment, except for the Horned Demon, the three members of the Amaterasu Order covered their respective tracks. With the support of Fat Dragon's super large sensing range with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers, they staggered the directions of the coming people and passed through each other.
The Horned Demon stayed where he was, meditating at first, then squatting down and grabbing a handful of red soil from the ground, with body fluids thrown off by the viper that had been captured by the fat dragon. He stuck out his tongue, rolled up the mixture of soil particles and viper gravy with the tip of his tongue, tasted it carefully, and then swallowed it:
"...an ominous fishy-sweet smell, and malicious intent is approaching."
The Horned Demon became a little anxious. He stood up and walked around the hole made by his fist on the ground several times. As a psychic, he tried to pinpoint the source of the malice, but the spiritual beacon seemed to be blown by the strong wind and was inaccurate.
When this happens, either the opponent's strength is far superior to his; or there is malicious intent around him, not just the initiator; or it's both.
No matter what it was, it was far from what he expected.
The horned demon stretched out his hand, and the limbs in his vision were trembling slightly.
"We are all in place and are turning back." Jingxin reported the latest situation on behalf of Feilong, who was not good at words. "The dots on the hang glider should have been able to capture your position; Gardner, who is coming forward, is about There are still fifteen minutes to arrive; Black Mist is also trying to sense it through the air...are you ready?"
The Horned Demon was still looking at his arm, and then he grinned for a few seconds: "It feels very bad, but when I think about where the lab door is, they have to dig around again to find it, it makes me a lot more balanced."
Jingxin ignored the crazy words that followed and expressed his own opinion: "I don't feel good either. Apart from us, half of the remaining six people have powerful backgrounds or suspicions. This looks more like an auction." Inspection before the meeting - Before you reveal the information, I'm afraid the real seller has sold out the entire process. Horned Demon, my old man, you may have been dancing in the palm of others, I hope you don't Let’s put it in!”
"……Grass!"
No matter what, it is impossible for the Horned Demon to back down now. Just as he was speaking, people involved in the transaction were arriving one after another. He had already seen the dust and smoke raised by Gardner's off-road vehicle, and also saw Hua Dian's hang glider circling high in the sky. In other directions that were beyond his sight, layers of complex thoughts were surging up. Just as he predicted through his psychic ability, there was a serious lack of goodwill in them.
About half an hour later, all the traders had arrived at the Horned Demon's location.
Different people, the same scrutiny, as well as the resistance and oppression that naturally arise in a strange environment and suspicious atmosphere, make everyone naturally distance themselves and scatter in an area of nearly a hundred meters in diameter, only surrounding the Horned Demon. middle.
The three members of the Amaterasu Religion showed no flaws. They were scattered in different directions, and together with the other six people, they looked back and forth.
Those who know each other, such as Jingxin and Choi Chenghyuk, will nod to each other; those who have hatred, such as Mahou and Heiwu, are ferocious and ferocious, eager to swallow them up - this is not a disguise, but their true colors. .
But in the end, the focus of everything fell on the horned devil, which made the deformed skull in front of his forehead hurt.
It was a lot of pressure... but the more this happened, the more excited the Horned Demon became.
In this state, the horned devil's crazy attributes were finally fully activated. Under his feet was a rippled red soil wasteland, but it felt like he was standing on the glorious stage of an opera house. He did not face anyone in particular, but chose to face away from the sun, letting the rising sun rim his body with a layer of gold.
Then he began to speak.
"Everyone, it is a pleasure to meet you here. Normally speaking, I should give a passionate speech, but based on the basis of our relationship, this is basically not necessary.
"As I have already written in advance in the description of the unannounced auction, this is a kind of 'a willing to fight and a willing to suffer' transaction. In this transaction, I may be a shameless robber, but I may also be A fool who buys a casket for a pearl; if you spend a huge sum of money to pay a deposit, you may be sent to your door and be ripped off by me, but you may also discover an enviable treasure.
"In the final analysis, this is a transaction full of gambling, an exciting and unhealthy relationship. So the ugly words must be said at the beginning: I must confirm again whether you all understand the background of this transaction... …”
At this time, Gardner, who was wearing a leather jacket and sitting on the front hood of an off-road vehicle, raised his hand like a good student, indicating that he had something to say.
The Horned Demon extended his hand to invite him to speak.
Gardner's skin was a dark red polished by wind and frost, and he was wearing sunglasses. His whole body looked dark in the sun, but when he opened his mouth, his teeth were white and very eye-catching. And his words seemed more attractive:
"The background you're talking about is the lucky event of accidentally signing the final large-scale auction entrustment agreement as a flag-waving minion?"
As soon as he said this, sparse laughter came from all directions. Some people are serious and some have a low sense of humor, and those who laugh include Jing Xin and Ma Hou.
What a damn good acting skill!
The Horned Demon's cheeks twitched twice, and his eyes slid across Gardner's face like a poisonous snake. The latter still kept a bright smile and didn't care.
It was also at this moment that on the hidden communication network of the Amaterasu Order, Jingxin once again declared that his judgment was correct: "Look, this is just an inspection group! Maybe behind these people present, there is someone at that damn auction. Buyers ready to pay!”
After giving the horned demon a wild mockery, Mahou locked his eyes on his enemy again and chuckled: "I don't know about other people, but that guy from Black Mist, unless he transforms into the world's top man in the spirit state, Actor, otherwise I would have sworn that this guy must have had a gambling attack and bumped in blankly... He didn't know the twists and turns inside, so now he is stupid and the frequency of detecting other people on the mental level has increased. Several times!”
"Is this good news?" Jingxin reluctantly responded out of friendship.
"Of course it's good news! I think he's just a little bitch who's been thrown into a men's prison now! What a perfect test subject. We need to keep him and don't scare him away!"
The Horned Demon is noncommittal; he has his own ideas and rhythm of speech. Therefore, he was able to endure the ridicule from those around him and maintain a basic business face: "It is a good thing that everyone understands the background and has expectations, which can save me a lot of spit. But according to the minimum professional ethics, no matter what your understanding is, Knowing my position, I still want to emphasize the essence of this transaction:
"The opportunity I provide you is just to taste the so-called 'umami' before the carnival of real capital. And you won't get real goods and services for your bid. What you get is just an opportunity, which is still illusory. Opportunities. Maybe you are lucky enough to reach the sky in one step; maybe you are unlucky enough and the dead bodies will have to be dealt with by later generations..."
At this time, someone spoke again, but their voice was a little weird. Because the voice was made by Black Mist, as the only participant present in a spirit body, he, as his name suggests, is like a dark cloud that has settled to the ground. At this time, it is interfering with the material level through the spirit, vibrating air molecules to form sound:
"You don't need to be so clouded. Let me ask, can you enter Luo Yuandao's wilderness laboratory to explore and search as long as you pay the balance? You can also take away the information and items you find from inside. ?”
Before he finished speaking, Heiwu felt heavy in his heart. Because at this moment, more than a dozen eyes turned away almost at the same time, and subtle changes occurred one after another.
No matter how you say it, Kurogane is a senior B-level strongman, and he has no shortage of experience and scheming. In his opinion, the changes in the eyes of the people around him, even if they were different in details, were essentially the same. There is no need to be precise and precise, just "cooperating" itself is tantamount to excluding him, and it also verifies his suspicion that he has accidentally crashed into a fatal whirlpool.
We're in big trouble!
It is also his fault that he was carried away by the recent extremely popular "format theory", "cage theory" and "configuration theory". When he heard that it was the "possible birthplace" of these theories, he excitedly handed over the deposit, thinking that It was a gamble of jumping in line to pick up the slack, but I forgot to refer to similar incidents again, which one is not earth-shattering...
This is simply not a place for retail investors like him to mingle, let alone encounter a troublesome old enemy like Ma Hou.
unlucky! unlucky! unlucky!
Black Mist was already thinking of quitting, and at this moment, the Horned Demon lazily responded: "I said, it's just an opportunity. In fact, your luck at the beginning was not very good, and the extra benefits I prepared for you are Due to some small situation, we can only cancel it. This also means that entering and exiting Luo Yuandao Laboratory requires us to put more thought into it..."
The black mist can no longer go around the horned demon, but it can't step too deep. It can only be measured and pretend to be urgent: "Speaking of human words, where is Luo Yuandao's laboratory!"
The horned demon's face did not change: "The location where I stand... is the center of the circle, within a radius of three hundred kilometers."
There is no need to pretend to be black mist, the spirit body is in a big turmoil, and the sound waves formed by the interference are like adding a loudspeaker, buzzing: "You are playing tricks on us! The radius is three hundred kilometers, which is the area of a large metropolitan area. , are you going to play hide and seek here until eternity?"
"I said before, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure..."
"Damn it, you have to scare this coward away!" Ma Hou scratched his head and scratched his head as he watched, and couldn't help but forcefully correct the Horned Demon's words through the internal communication network.
Jingxin advised Mahou to exercise restraint: "Heiwu has wanted to run away for a long time, and it's useless to say so tactfully. Besides, it doesn't matter if he runs away, you can chase him back. If you feel that you are strong enough, I don't want to influence him." Under the premise of the mission, Feilong is happy to help, he has always had a great appetite for this kind of spirit body."
The fat dragon showed no reaction.
As for the Horned Demon, he seemed to be looking back. He raised three fingers and made an oath: "I can swear with the spiritual sense of a 'psychic' that Luo Yuandao's laboratory is indeed in this area, but it is subject to special effects." It is affected by force and drifts uncertainly. But it is definitely traceable, otherwise it would not be possible to go to auction. I will inform you of this news, and will also join the search team. If I find it, I will share it with everyone for free..."
Having said this, he chuckled again: "Actually, once you find it, you can't hide it. At present, the laboratory anchoring device has been disassembled and transferred. You have to open the gap. The collision of time and space and the interaction between the spiritual and material levels. Interference would be very spectacular, and you should worry about Toyama Auction House coming back to cause trouble, instead of wasting precious time and doubting my intelligence."
The horned demon's sworn appearance still showed a certain degree of persuasion, but no matter how much he said, the black mist would never stay here.
At this time, the pointed words of the Horned Demon also came through: "Anyone can leave at any time, no problem. However, as stated in the activity description: the final payment will not be collected and the deposit will not be refunded."
Diagonally opposite, psychic detective Hua Dian, who had been silent since his arrival, also raised his hand to indicate that he had any questions.
What a deposit, what a chance!
Black Mist stepped back pointedly and the Horned Demon answered the question, which was the best chance to leave. Don’t you see that bastard Mahou, the eyes he is looking at are dripping with poison?
His decision was obviously correct. As soon as he retreated, the figure of the monkey in the distance clearly jumped, as if he was about to pursue him, but he forcibly stopped with a grinning expression of unwillingness.
Such a reaction made Hei Wu feel even more chilled: This bastard has an accomplice! Otherwise, how could he hold back his ferocity with that temper?
Not even thinking about being lucky, Black Mist took advantage of the spirit's high-speed flight and retreated with all its strength, covering hundreds of kilometers in a short time.
This should be a safe distance. Among those people, there is no extraordinary species who can spread the sensor network for hundreds of kilometers.
Seeing no enemy pursuing him from behind, Heiwu felt a little relaxed, so he slowed down and concentrated on planning his next move. At this moment, a shock wave suddenly cut through the void, so strong and sharp that it caused turbulence on the spiritual level, and frightened him:
An expert is crossing the border!
The impact came suddenly and went away suddenly. Although it was strong, there was no trace, but there was still a clear and sharp meaning that pointed directly at the depth of his spiritual body.
This was not an illusion. The black mist seemed to be hit head-on by a beam of strong light for an instant. The light shone through the underlying structure of his spiritual body, and there was almost no privacy at all.
Such an impact, if implemented, would definitely be a first-rate spiritual killing method.
Even in the out-of-body state, the black mist evoked "creepy" memories of the physical body. The spirit body froze in mid-air for almost a minute. Only after confirming that it was not injured did it know how to think:
Which great god has arrived? The direction I'm looking at should be towards the Horned Demon... Forget it, it's just a passing by, it has nothing to do with me!
Hei Wu was sure that today was his most critical day, and everything was inappropriate. He couldn't stay any longer no matter what, so he suppressed all distracting thoughts, collected his mind, and ran away without looking back.
After the black mist had traveled dozens of kilometers away, a common raven in the wasteland belatedly arrived at the area where the black mist had lingered for a long time. It circled several times but found nothing.
"Fuck, let him run away!" After Mahou got the news, he was not in the mood to hide it anymore, and stamped his feet in front of everyone.
However, no one paid attention to him. Most people were communicating with the Horned Demon about the details of the transaction and preparing for the so-called "luck betting" session later.
Ma Hou wanted to vent again, but Fei Long suddenly updated the news:
"It seems to be still there."
"Huh?" It's rare to hear Fei Long speak with uncertain words and tone, and Ma Hou didn't dare to interpret it easily. He cautiously went to confirm, "Who's still there?"
"Black Mist, he appears again."
