"The auction is already halfway through, and the next lots are worth looking forward to. But before that, everyone will take a break for half an hour. The auction will continue after half an hour."
After Wu Ji said this with a smile, the audience suddenly burst into mourning.
But the auction house doesn't care what they think. After all, the second half of the auction has nothing to do with the people sitting in the hall.
The auction took a break, firstly, because it really needed a buffer, and secondly, to wait for the arrival of richer people.
“I don’t know what the next auction items will be?”
Tao Yuan held his chin and said curiously.
"I don't know, it's probably something more expensive."
Sang Zhi said uncertainly.
Lu Huayin shook her head and said nothing. She felt that what was coming next would definitely not be good.
But this is just not a good thing for them. It should probably be good for the people here.
It was only a half-hour break and everyone started discussing.
They have all stayed here for a long time, and many of them are not participating in the auction for the first time, so they all know what the next lot will be.
"Thinking about the beauty that appeared in the auction last time, my memory is still fresh now." A person said to his companions.
"No." His companion nodded.
Thinking of that beguiling figure, he felt hot all over.
Alas, I don’t know what is happening to that lot now, and I don’t know if I will have a chance to see it again.
A glimmer of unknown meaning flashed in the man's eyes, and he fantasized about being intimate with a beautiful woman in his mind.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You didn't say anything for a long time after calling me!"
The one who spoke first slapped him hard, waking him up from his dream.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something."
The man smiled awkwardly, and then talked about other topics.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the second half of the auction officially began.
"The break is over, and the second half of the auction has officially begun. Next, we have our first lot."
Wu Ji appeared with the lights and announced the start of the second half of the auction.
A square cage covered with red cloth was pushed up from the stage by the staff. The cage was very large, but because it was covered tightly with red cloth, no one knew what was inside.
Lu Huayin and the other three looked at the things on the stage curiously. There were people who were participating in the auction for the first time who had the same expression as them.
However, most people's faces showed understanding expressions, and they seemed to have guessed what was covered by the red cloth.
"I believe everyone has already guessed what is in the cage, so I won't go too far."
Wu Ji had a constant smile on her face from beginning to end, and she waved to let people uncover the red cloth.
The red cloth was lifted, and the true colors of the things inside the cage were revealed.
It turned out that there was a scantily clad girl inside. The girl had a slender figure and a pitiful face. She looked extremely beautiful.
As soon as the red cloth was uncovered, the men in the venue immediately became excited.
"The auction house is still as high-quality as ever. The first lot is so beautiful, it's hard to imagine how beautiful the subsequent ones are." Some people couldn't help but sigh.
"Everyone has seen the auction, I won't say much else, let's start bidding now!"
The starting bid for the girl is 10,000, and each increase in price will not be less than 1,000.
This price is actually more in line with the standards of the lobby and is on the low side for people in private rooms.
However, everyone has a love for beauty, so there are still many private rooms participating in the auction. 9
Tao Yuan froze on the spot since he found out that the auction item was a person.
The feeling in her heart was indescribable. She didn't expect that people could be sold as items.
Although she has experienced hardships since she was a child, she still has relatively little exposure to the dark side of life.
Except for the star thief who brutally destroyed their planet, she had never encountered anything particularly dark.
I didn't expect to see such a scene now. People who are also human beings are buying and selling their own compatriots.
Looking at Lu Huayin and Sang Zhi who didn't have the slightest look of surprise on their faces, she said in disbelief: "You have known this for a long time?"
"It's not too early, I just guessed it." Sang Zhiren is smarter and can easily figure out these things.
Tao Yuan understood, and then she looked at Lu Huayin: "Boss, what about you?"
"I also guessed it, but it was earlier than you."
Lu Huayin was not born and raised here. She summarized all the situations here based on everyone's words.
It can be said that among the three of them, only Tao Yuan had great expectations for this auction from beginning to end.
But now, she is probably beaten to death.
Her worldview is about to collapse and be reshaped.
"Are we going to watch them behind bars and being mercilessly bought and sold?"
The education she received did not allow her to stand on the sidelines.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Lu Huayin is not a cold-blooded person. She also wants such dark things to never happen again, but this is someone else's territory and there is nothing she can do about it.
"I want to buy her."
Tao Yuan stared at the girl in the cage intently.
When she saw her huddled together and her body couldn't stop shaking, there was a hint of distress in her eyes.
The girl didn't look older than them, yet she had to go through these things.
She glanced left and right at the people who were bidding and bidding. Most of them were men, and they were also older men.
Just think about it and you know what these people want to do when they take the girl back.
After Tao Yuan said this, Lu Huayin very calmly told another cruel fact.
"Did you think that this is the only girl being auctioned here? I'm sure that the other lots will be similar to this one."
So even if Tao Yuan saves this one, can she still save everyone else in the future?
Even if she wanted to, her own wallet wouldn't allow it.
Tao Yuan was stunned, unable to speak the words that came to his lips.
She really didn't have the ability to save everyone, and she didn't even know how to make arrangements to save just this one.
"What should we do? We can't just watch her fall into the hands of those disgusting men."
Lu Huayin didn't know what to do. The auction house dared to carry out this kind of transaction openly, so it was natural that they were confident. With them alone, they would not only be unable to save others, but would actually get themselves involved.
In the past, when dealing with the Black Snake Gang, the officials had to deal with it quietly.
The only thing they can do now is to keep the evidence and hand it over to the authorities.
As for rescuing people, of course let them do it.
Just when the three of them were helpless, the results of the girl's auction came out.
She was photographed by someone in the lobby.
The auction house's lots are collected after the auction ends, so after this one ends, the next one starts soon.
Just as Lu Huayin guessed, the next lot was a girl.
Compared with the previous one, this girl has a better figure and a more delicate face.
Therefore, her starting price is much higher than the previous one.
Tao Yuan sat dejectedly in her seat. She felt very sad. As a future soldier of the Federation, she could only watch helplessly as Federation citizens were being violated.
Lu Huayin patted her shoulder and comforted her, then stood up and prepared to go out.
Because the auction lasts for a long time, guests participating in the auction have a dedicated lounge to rest.
However, the guest lounge in the lobby is public, and people will pass by it from time to time.
Of course, Lu Huayin's purpose was not to go to the lounge to rest. She wanted to see if there was any room for maneuver here.
Although she knew very well in her heart that even if she really messed up the auction and the auction items escaped from here, they would not be able to escape from the Five Black Stars.
But she still wanted to try.
Try to see if you can cause some damage here, and then let people out quietly.
After going out, Lu Huayin went straight to the lounge, but she did not go in. Instead, she passed by the door and entered another passage.
On the way, she carefully avoided the surveillance cameras, swerved around the patrolling guards, and arrived at the place where the auction items were kept.
There were two people guarding the door, and there were surveillance cameras watching from above. It was not known if there was anyone inside. Lu Huayin did not dare to act rashly, so he only observed secretly for a while, and then quietly retreated.
The security here was very strict, so she found a small opening, but she didn't get in in the end.
The auction was still going on. When Lu Huayin returned, another item had been replaced on the high platform.
This time it was no longer a human being, but the items being auctioned were not very interesting.
The thing above is a metal that is prohibited from private use by the federal government, and the mining rights for this metal are firmly in the hands of the federal government.
I don’t know where the auction house got this thing from. It seems to be quite heavy.
"The auction house has spent a lot of money this time. How long has it been since then? Things that were basically the finale are now available."
Since it appears now, it proves that the stuff behind it is better and rarer.
The order of the auction items is generally determined by the value of the items. The items at the front are of lower value, and the items at the back are of higher value.
This lot was finally taken away by someone in the private room, and several more lots came out one after another, but luckily none of them were human beings, and Tao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This feeling of torment and powerlessness was so uncomfortable that she really didn't want to experience it again.
As a result, as soon as the prayers were finished, another auction came later.
"Dear guests, our auction house got this lot with great difficulty. She is very special and has the ability to confuse people. Next, I will reveal this lot to you."
Wu Ji stepped forward and pulled open the red cloth, revealing the woman in the cage.
When he saw the woman's appearance clearly, Lu Huayin's eyes widened.
This man looks familiar to her. Isn't this the Experimental Subject No. 6 in the laboratory?
How did she get caught here?
Logically speaking, after a thorough search by the Star Guard, they should all have been taken away by the Guard.
Did they use some method to evade the search of the guards and then escape from the planet?
This is not impossible, after all, several of their experimental subjects still have some special abilities.
Seeing the woman restrained in the cage, Lu Huayin's thoughts changed and he finally determined why the woman was arrested.
This woman has good abilities, but she hasn't been out of the laboratory for who knows how many years, and she doesn't know the changes outside at all.
If the people in the previous laboratory had left any different marks on her body, it would have been a matter of time before she was caught.
However, this also proves from the side that the people behind the laboratory are closely connected with the Five Black Stars.
Even if one Black Snake Gang is eradicated, others will soon take over.
The eyes of the woman in the cage were covered by strips of cloth, so no one could see her strangeness.
But just looking at her exposed skin and her enchanting figure, one can tell that she is a rare beauty.
Some people couldn't wait to ask Wuji to start bidding, but she smiled and didn't answer.
Instead, he continued: "Our auction house worked so hard to capture this item, so naturally we have to show everyone its uniqueness."
How can you justifiably increase the price without showing off the uniqueness?
Saying yes, Wu Ji stepped forward and pulled off the cloth covering No. 6's eyes.
In an instant, a pair of charming eyes appeared in front of everyone.
Lu Huayin immediately told the two people around him to close their eyes and stop looking at the woman on the stage.
She knew the ability of No. 6, and his eyes could easily confuse people.
Many people in the field lost their minds for her, and Wu Ji was very satisfied with the effect of No. 6.
With much anticipation, she announced the bidding price for No. 6.
The starting price is only 100,000 yuan, and each subsequent increase in price will not be less than 10,000 yuan.
This price is not high for most people, but there are too many people who cannot afford to increase the price later.
Soon, Number Six's net worth soared to one million, and continues to rise.
Tao Yuan stared at the price increase on the spot in stunned silence, not knowing what to say.
She really couldn't sympathize with this situation, and the other person seemed very capable.
In the end, No. 6's net worth soared to five million.
She was also bought by someone in the private room.
After the auction ended, Lu Huayin went out again, and passed several auction items before she came back.
"Dear guests, I believe you have never seen the auction below."
Wu Ji had a mysterious expression on her face.
"To be honest, after working in the auction house for so many years, this is the first time I have seen this special lot."
Wuji's words immediately aroused everyone's interest. Even the experienced auctioneer had never seen what it was.
The people in the private room were also very curious. They had obtained the catalog of auction items in advance and it was true, but not everything on it was true.
For example, if the auction item is a person, it will not be recorded on it.
"Wu Ji, don't be pretentious, let us see what it is."
Someone urged impatiently.
If someone in the hall was urging her, Wuji would basically choose to ignore it, but this time the person calling was a guest in the private room, so she couldn't ignore it.
So, after exaggerating the special features of the auction items, she finally revealed the answer.
The red cloth was lifted, revealing the true face of what was underneath.
