The sandalwood door was left a crack, and there was no one guarding the door. Perhaps they thought no one would have the courage to sneak into the back of the auction.
"Xiao Xi, do you really want to go in?"
Wen Chenxi hesitated, his brows furrowed so tightly that he could pinch a fly to death.
"Yeah, why not? I want to see how much dirty stuff they have hidden inside."
Wen Xi smiled cunningly, without any fear at all, and pushed the door open directly, and her slender figure slipped in in an instant.
"My girl really loves adventure!"
Wen Chenxi smiled dotingly, looked around, followed him in, and closed the door.
The backstage of the auction was connected to a dark room, where the temperature was at least ten degrees lower than outside, or even higher.
"Oh my god, is the air conditioning on high in this room?"
Wen Chenxi exhaled white air.
"No, it's these ghosts that did it!"
The smile on Wen Xi's face disappeared. She pursed her lips and pointed at the little ghosts in various glass containers in the house. Some of them were hammering the glass angrily, some were huddled in the corner and shivering humbly, and some were wandering in the small space and bumping into walls everywhere.
"This is basically a ghost den. I didn't expect there are so many little ghosts here?"
Wen Chenxi frowned slightly. It wasn't that surprising to say it was unexpected, because this was Knok Manor!
"There are also quite a few ghost weapons. Where did they get these things from?"
Wen Xi's fingertips slid across the ghost weapon on the table, and the cold touch penetrated into his heart.
The ghosts in the room smelled the human scent and became restless. They stuck to the glass and roared, making strange noises.
"Don't worry, let me see what you've got."
Wen Xi approached, casually placed his hand on a glass container, closed his eyes, and a faint golden halo spread out. It had the power to soothe the ghost's heart, making the manic ghosts quiet down and kneel on the ground in submission.
A tear fell from the corner of Wen Xi's eye, and her trembling hands clenched into fists.
Wen Chenxi asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's too painful! These little ghosts were forcibly stripped out and refined through forbidden techniques. They have to endure 49 heart-wrenching pains every day!"
Wen Xi raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were cold, "A dirty place like Knok Manor shouldn't exist!"
Wen Chenxi heard the resolute tone in Wen Xi's words, and his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly asked, "Xiao Xi, what do you want to do?"
Wen Xi glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "Of course we have to destroy this disgusting auction! No trade, no harm, right?"
"good!"
Wen Chenxi knew that this was a very dangerous thing, but he still decided to stand on her side.
"Xiao Xi, whatever you want to do, I will support you and help you. Just tell me how I can help you!"
Wen Xi was stunned. Seeing Wen Chenxi's serious expression, the coldness in his eyes eased a little. He curved his lips and said, "Thank you, second brother. However, this is my field. I really don't need your help!"
Wen Xi tapped lightly with her fingertips, and the sharp ice blade cut through and peeled off.
Click, click!
The nearby glass containers shattered on the ground, and all the little ghosts floated out. There was still disbelief on their gray faces, and they seemed to have never expected that they would be able to regain their freedom one day.
"Damn it! Xiaoxi, when you released them, at least give me a heads up beforehand. This is too sudden!"
Wen Chenxi's eyelids were twitching violently, and he subconsciously formed a light shield with both hands and looked at them warily.
"It's okay. They won't hurt anyone as long as I'm here."
Wen Xi vowed solemnly and called out to one of the female ghosts, "Stay with me for the time being. I will then take you to the underworld to see if I can break the forbidden technique and give you a chance to reincarnate."
The ghost girl was happy for a moment, then hung her head and wept sadly, "Thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately, that master is too powerful, and we can't leave with you!"
"That lord?"
Wen Xi narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Why can't you leave with me?"
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something on the ghost girl's neck. She moved closer and took a closer look, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
"This mark is..."
Wen Xi then checked several other little ghosts one after another. They had the same marks on their necks, ears, arms, palms...everywhere.
"Second brother, come here."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Wen Chenxi approached cautiously, and when he saw the marks on their bodies clearly, his pupils trembled. He subconsciously touched the mark on his own body.
Seriously speaking, "This is exactly the same mark that the evil spirit branded on me. In other words, these little ghosts were all created by him? Or..."
"Or perhaps, he has a close relationship with Knock Manor, or is even another important mission hidden in the darkness of Knock Manor."
Wen Xi took over his words and continued.
Wen Chenxi's eyes were blazing with anger. He clenched his fists and said, "They really are circling right under our noses. This Nok is actually working for him? Maybe this evil spirit is inside the manor right now."
"Huh? Did you hear the sound of glass breaking just now? Go check what's going on inside!"
"You must have heard wrong. Anyone who dares to sneak in there is risking their life. It's so gloomy in there. If you stay there for a while, the yin energy will penetrate your bones and you may die."
"Stop talking nonsense and go check it out. If there's really a problem, we can't afford to pay for it!"
There was a sound coming from far away and was about to enter the room. Wen Chenxi was on guard.
Wen Xi calmly looked towards the direction where the sound came from. Soon, the door was opened and several men in black walked in. They were shocked to see the mess on the ground.
"Who are you? How dare you break in here?"
The man in black's eyes flashed, he glared at them fiercely, took out an electric baton and slowly walked towards them.
"Evil spirit, bundle!"
Wen Xi raised her lips in a seductive smile, and lightly tapped with her white fingertips. The little ghosts behind her rushed out and attacked them without any hesitation.
“Ahhhhhh!”
There were shrill screams coming from the room. Logically, such a loud noise would have alarmed the auction site, but no one came.
Wen Chenxi jokingly asked, "Could it be that the sound insulation here is quite good?"
"No, something seems to have happened!"
Wen Xi frowned and walked along a mysterious path in the room towards the bright lights of the stage. After a while, he heard noisy sounds coming from the auction site.
"Are you crazy? This is my dad, and you're actually dragging my father out for auction? Are you guys at Knock Manor crazy? Let him go now, or I'll be rude to you!"
As I walked up the stairs, before I even walked out, I heard Xiao Shaoyan's angry roar.
