"This mask played an important role in 'Saw'."
"Jigsaw was able to create a terrifying atmosphere and disguise his identity thanks to this mask."
According to Mr. Cao Kun, this mask is the same one used in the first film, and it has extraordinary significance.
"Guests who like the movie 'Saw' are in for a treat today."
"Before filming begins, let us first express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Cao Kun."
"Thank you for his contributions to those in need."
Amid applause, Cao Kun rose to offer his greetings.
He glanced at the crowd and noticed that many people were looking at him with strange expressions.
He didn't care at all and sat back down.
"Now, the auction begins, starting at $100."
Sophia was laughing so hard next to Cao Kun that she was doubled over, causing a certain part of her body to shake violently.
"What were you thinking? Donating props for a horror movie? Are you afraid these people have done too many bad things in their lives and aren't scary enough?"
Cao Kun said dismissively, "It's just for show anyway, what does it matter what we donate?"
Cao Kun donated this item not only to disgust some hypocritical people, but also because the mask was cheap.
The Saw crew made a lot of these things, each costing only a few dozen dollars.
That couldn't be more perfect.
Sofia: "That's still different. It's creepy to have this thing in the house."
She looked around and said, "Look, not many people are bidding."
Indeed, not many people have made bids, and the price has only reached $3,000 so far.
It is very likely that this will be the lowest-priced item sold tonight.
“$10,000,” a woman’s voice called out.
Cao Kun didn't need to look to recognize Fei Wen's voice.
Sofia: "Kate is quite generous; she was worried that if the price was too low, it would embarrass you."
Cao Kun shook his head slightly: "If this can embarrass me, then all my mental training has been in vain."
Cao Kun was telling the truth; he can now handle many things with a calm and detached attitude.
He wouldn't care even if the item failed to sell.
"I know you're amazing, alright?"
Sofia held up her sign: "$100,000."
Cao Kun glared at her: "Are you burning money?"
Sofia: "This is not what I wanted to buy."
Cao Kun: "Who is that?"
Sofia: "Someone asked me to buy whatever you donate tonight."
Cao Kun asked curiously, "Who?"
Sofia smiled mysteriously: "I won't tell you now."
If this weren't an auction, Cao Kun would definitely force Sophia to tell the truth.
But it's obviously inconvenient now, and he's too lazy to know, so he won't ask any more questions.
"Ms. Porter donated $100,000 as a token of our gratitude."
"Is there a price higher than $100,000?"
The host was overjoyed, thinking the mask would only fetch a few thousand dollars, but it quickly reached six figures.
Of course, no one else made a bid.
The host immediately brought down the gavel: "$100,000, sold. Thank you again, Ms. Porter."
Shortly after, Sofia went to the back office and swiped her card to complete the transaction.
When she returned, someone even helped her carry a delicate suitcase.
Cao Kun glanced at it and realized that, in terms of cost, the box was worth far more than the masks inside.
But now, that mask has fetched a whopping $100,000 at auction.
If you were to sell the box, it would only fetch a few hundred dollars at most.
After bidding on more than a dozen items, the host finally announced, "The next item is a donation from a kind-hearted person who wishes to remain anonymous. Let us express our sincere gratitude for his kindness. Please look at the big screen."
Amid applause, an antique mirror appeared on the big screen.
This mirror is slightly smaller than the ghost mirror that Cao Kun bought before, but it is still more than a meter tall.
The mirror has a simple and elegant design, exquisite workmanship, and a retro feel.
However, a black cloth has always been stuck to the surface of this mirror and has not been removed.
When the camera zooms in, all that can be seen is a line of small print on the frame—Louis Alphard 1743.
Upon seeing these words, Cao Kun immediately knew the origin of the mirror.
This thing doesn't come from a horror movie; it actually exists in reality.
It truly existed in the world before Cao Kun's time travel.
It is produced using the F process.
Louis-Alp is the name of the craftsman who made this mirror.
1743, the year this mirror was made.
It has been more than 200 years since then.
This mirror is a real killer mirror.
No matter who you are, as long as you stand in front of a mirror and are reflected in it, it won't be long before you suffer a cerebral hemorrhage and die.
The first person to die at the hands of this mirror was none other than Louis Alp, who created it.
For more than 200 years afterward, people continued to die because they looked in this mirror.
Without exception, their cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage.
Many scientists have become interested in this mirror and want to figure out what its underlying principle is.
But those who studied it all died in the end.
The person who ultimately died at its hands was also a scientist named Smith.
When Dr. Smith bought the mirror, the seller repeatedly warned him that it was best not to use it.
But Dr. Smith didn't take it seriously. As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to take the mirror out.
He collapsed on the ground at noon the next day.
Before he died, he told his family to seal the magic mirror away and never open it again.
This matter remained unresolved for many years.
It wasn't until a scientist from country M named "Wai En" learned about this that he rushed to country F, found Dr. Smith's grandson, and said he wanted to borrow the property for research.
Dr. Wayne returned to the United States with the Magic Mirror.
Shortly afterward, Dr. Wayne claimed to have discovered the secret behind the magic mirror's murderous power.
According to him, the frame of this magic mirror is made of a type of wood called Kula wood.
This wood is highly toxic and releases large amounts of harmful gases when exposed to sunlight.
Once a person inhales these gases, blood vessels in the brain will rupture within a short period of time, causing a cerebral hemorrhage.
However, just as Dr. Wayne was preparing to hold a press conference, the mirror, along with the box containing it, vanished without a trace.
This murderous mirror vanished without a trace.
And Dr. Wayne, due to the disappearance of the Magic Mirror, had no evidence.
Whether his speculation was true or false can never be verified.
Cao Kun knew about this murderous mirror when he was in another world.
At the time, he just thought it was amazing and didn't think too much about it.
However, now it seems there are too many doubts about this.
First, it is said that the Kula tree became extinct more than a hundred years ago and no longer exists.
So whether such a tree actually exists, and whether it has such an effect, only God knows.
Secondly, even if such a tree existed, it would still have such an effect; this reasoning is still too far-fetched.
Everyone who has looked in a mirror eventually dies.
Could it be that when those people were looking in the mirror, the sunlight just happened to shine in and onto the mirror?
Only a fool would put a mirror in the sun, right?
Third, why did the mirror disappear?
Are you worried about something being leaked?
Where did they end up?
