Lin Yang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened slightly, and he knew something was wrong. After disguising himself, his biggest fear was running into someone he knew.
This man in black robes seems to have a good relationship with the identity he's currently playing.
"Maybe I haven't been drinking enough water lately."
Lin Yang coughed softly twice, trying to change the subject and gather information at the same time.
"By the way, how's the shipment this time?"
Lin Yang mimicked the tone of those people and spoke.
The man's lips gradually straightened, but he did not answer Lin Yang's question.
"Have you forgotten the rules, esteemed guest? We don't have any goods here, and no one can take delivery before the auction officially begins."
Lin Yang took a deep breath and realized something was wrong; he had never expected there to be such a rule here.
"Our distinguished guest is acting a bit strange today."
The man slowly approached Lin Yang.
Lin Yang's heartbeat gradually quickened, his breathing slowed, and his hand was almost touching the silver needles in his pocket.
"What kind of ridiculous rules are these? I've wanted to say this for a long time. Who sells goods without letting customers see them beforehand?!"
Su He's coquettish voice came through, her brows furrowed and her tone displeased as she glared at the man in the black robe.
The man in the black robe paused, turned around to look at Su He, and spoke with a slight apology in his voice.
"There's no way around it. As you probably know, your country is quite strict about this."
"Our goods are hard to find and hard to sell."
Su He snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been too hasty this time and had spoken before understanding the situation.
"Even with strict regulations, you still hold auctions!"
"Since we're here because we're interested, let's not worry about it anymore. Just take us to the auction house!"
Lin Yang frowned, his tone somewhat impatient, and gave a cold snort.
The man in black robes looked apologetically at Lin Yang and his companion, then stopped asking questions.
"I'm so sorry, please forgive me, esteemed guest. Would you like to go directly to the auction house?"
The man in black robes spoke.
Suhe nodded as a matter of course.
Lin Yang frowned and looked around: "Is this how you treat your guests? Where is the person who was supposed to show you the way?"
The man in black slapped his forehead and shouted in one direction.
A waiter came out and led Lin Yang and Su He away.
Before leaving, the man in black robes tried to follow, but Lin Yang flatly refused.
Whether he had tested the waters and found nothing wrong, or had given up for other reasons, the man in the black robe exchanged a few words with a waiter and then left.
Lin Yang and Su He followed the waiter forward, passing through a dark corridor, when suddenly their eyes were opened to a bright light.
A huge, abandoned arena appeared before the two of them.
Amidst the clamor of voices around them, a waiter took two masks from the cabinet in front and handed them to Lin Yang and his companion.
Lin Yang gently stroked the black skull mask in his hand, his eyes growing deeper.
Su He glanced at Lin Yang indifferently and put the mask on her face.
The waiter led Su Helin Yang into a private room and then left.
After carefully observing his surroundings and confirming that there was nothing around, Lin Yang looked at Su He and spoke.
"I want to go and see the world."
"Let's split up and observe first," Su He said softly.
Lin Yang nodded.
The two strolled casually around the auction site.
As Lin Yang strolled around, he found a less crowded spot.
"The auction is about to begin. Is everything ready?"
"Okay, I promise I plan to go there."
The sudden conversation caught Lin Yang's attention.
Lin Yang looked up and saw two ordinary-looking waiters standing in the corner.
One of them was preparing to leave.
Lin Yang's eyes sharpened, and he quickly followed.
Another waiter frowned when he saw Lin Yang's actions.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing!"
"I'm going to the restroom," Lin Yang said, pretending to clutch his groin and looking pained.
The waiter pointed to a spot.
Lin Yang curled his lips slightly, his eyes flashed with a sharp look, and with a flick of his wrist, he knocked out the waiter who had given him directions. Then he followed closely behind the waiter in front of him.
Before the other party turned, Lin Yang followed casually.
Although he occasionally encountered one or two waiters on the way, Lin Yang avoided them all.
Those who couldn't dodge were also knocked unconscious by Lin Yang.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Suddenly, Lin Yang's eyes lit up as cages of various sizes appeared before him.
Countless naked women and children appeared before my eyes.
The oldest looked to be only in his early twenties, and the youngest child looked to be only two or three years old.
At an age when he couldn't even speak clearly, his hands and feet were bound by iron chains!
A dozen or so men in black guarded the cage; all the guards Lin Yang hadn't seen before had come here.
Lin Yang's expression hardened, and he gritted his teeth as veins bulged on his forehead. These were all children from their Flower Kingdom, yet they were being treated like livestock, bound with iron chains and kept in the dark!
Lin Yang glanced at his phone, wanting to contact Su He, but found that his phone had lost signal at some point.
Just like when we were on the island.
Those damned Japanese dogs!
"Who goes there!"
Perhaps Lin Yang's gaze was too sharp, for a man in black robes looked over.
Lin Yang turned to the side, trying to dodge.
Unfortunately, there are too many men in black here.
Lin Yang could hide from one person's gaze, but he couldn't hide from a group.
Lin Yang simply walked out.
In an instant, countless men in black pointed their weapons at Lin Yang.
Lin Yang raised his hands as if in surrender.
“I meant no harm. I’m a guest here. I really want a child. I saw a waiter coming over and followed him.”
Lin Yang lowered his voice to explain.
"Please be lenient and let me in to take a look. My wife and I have always wanted a child, but unfortunately..."
Lin Yang shook his head and sighed.
"Heaven did not give us this opportunity."
That's right, most of the guests who come here want a child of their own.
Of course, some people have ulterior motives; they might want blood bags of the same blood type from a family member or themselves who is sick, or even organs...
The guards here have seen all kinds of guests, so they didn't doubt what Lin Yang said.
In short, this is a large-scale human trafficking base.
The men in black robes had seen many guests like this before, and after confirming Lin Yang's identity...
The leader, a man in black robes, raised his hand, signaling the others to put down their weapons.
"You will be able to see the child once the auction begins."
"Let's leave now."
Lin Yang nodded as if relieved, then looked troubled and hesitated in his voice.
"But the road here is really winding..."
"I just came here with a waiter."
Lin Yang looked around as he spoke, then turned to the leader of the black-robed men.
The leader of the black-robed men said nothing, but waved his hand, signaling one of them to take Lin Yang away.
Lin Yang was secretly delighted.
These guys were all wearing masks and cloaks, and he was about the same size as them.
As long as there's one person who's alone, he can take their place and lie in wait, and then...
Lin Yang's eyes turned slightly cold.
