Chapter 86 Attending the Auction



Suya stopped in her tracks.

She shouldn't be exposed, right? No one in this era can detect her disguise.

Then I heard someone walking quickly behind me.

"Hello, beautiful lady, you forgot your audio guide. Here it is, please keep it safe. Enjoy your exhibition."

It was a false alarm.

Su Ya thanked them and then walked unsteadily into the exhibition hall.

It turns out that, in order to ensure that visitors know the information about the exhibits, this exhibition hall has prepared disposable audio guides for each visitor.

It has to be said that the Ye family is really generous. This audio guide alone must have cost a fortune.

I don't know about other countries or cities in China, but according to yesterday's news report, the exhibition hall had 10 million visitors yesterday.

The most famous historical sites in China can only be visited during the peak tourist season, but I didn't expect to be able to visit them through small exhibitions.

Once inside the exhibition hall, it was quite large. Everyone was given a map upon entering, and we learned that the exhibition hall alone occupied 1,000 acres and was the private property of the Ye family, with hundreds of rooms of various sizes inside.

Each one contains an item on display.

Suya randomly entered a room according to the map and saw an empty room with a rectangular display stand in the center. The display stand consisted of a marble column about 1.5 meters high and a crystal frame covering the exhibit.

The soft lighting around the crystal frame allows people to better appreciate the exhibits.

There will be four security guards watching over each room from one corner.

You can look through the crystal cover. But it will trigger an alarm if you touch it.

When we came over, a few children touched it with their hands. We immediately called the police, which attracted more than a dozen security personnel. After they arrived, they found out that the children had been touching it when they were young, and the other security personnel left.

Seeing the situation, Su Ya understood that it would be difficult to take action now, and she could only wait until the museum closed.

So Suya relaxed and started looking at the exhibits properly.

The Ye family clearly put a lot of thought into the exhibits this time; each item was quite valuable. The cheapest was a painting by a deceased Chinese calligrapher. Su Ya remembered that she had bought it from the same auction house as her grandmother when they were bidding on a bracelet. Su Ya wasn't interested in calligraphy and painting, so she didn't participate in the bidding. In the end, the painting sold for 5 million. At the time, Su Ya didn't care who bought it, but she never expected that it would be bought by the Ye family.

Other prices are even higher.

To be honest, it takes time to see all these exhibits.

Suya continued to look at each room one by one.

Four hours later,

Finally, they arrived in front of the medicine furnace that Suya had targeted this time.

This medicine burner is just like the one Su Ya painted. The burner itself is made of purple copper and is about the same size as a modern incense burner. The entire burner is decorated with rose patterns. I wonder which great master in ancient China created this aesthetic.

Then I heard the story about the medicine furnace coming from the voice narrator.

The exact time is uncertain, but it was a gift from a Taoist priest to her Taoist partner at that time.

Suya then realized why it had to be made this way.

There are many stories about this medicine furnace.

It is said that this was a medicine furnace used by an enlightened immortal.

At the auction, the price offered by the other party was simply too high; a broken medicine furnace actually fetched over 100 million.

Suya, who could easily brew medicine with just a pot, certainly wouldn't waste money like that.

However, for the sake of her mother, Su Ya had no choice but to "borrow" it for now. As for whether she would have to return it later, that was another matter.

A medicine furnace only has value when it falls into the hands of someone who truly understands it.

Otherwise, it would just be an inanimate object.

The exhibition hall closes at seven o'clock, and Su Ya noted its location.

With two hours left, Suya had to find a place to hide.

The exhibition hall will be cleaned after it closes, since you can't guarantee that every visitor will be courteous.

Suya hacked into the exhibition hall's surveillance system using her mobile phone. She took control and switched the footage of the monitors watching her to a still image.

It will return to normal after three minutes.

The people in the monitoring room didn't notice at all that one of the surveillance cameras had been frozen.

Meanwhile, Su Yamin had already found a storage room and hid inside.

Then it remained motionless, waiting for the appointed time.

Sure enough, at seven o'clock, footsteps were heard near the storage room.

Judging from the sound, it should be the person responsible for cleaning the exhibition hall.

When the door opened, Suya quickly climbed onto the roof.

Large exhibitions typically have several exhibition rooms because they are so large that it takes a lot of time to move things around, so they are divided into sections. Anyone who has been to a storage room knows that these places are usually very small and can only accommodate one or two people at a time. Nobody pays attention to who is inside.

Because it's completely exposed, there's no way for anyone to hide.

The cleaning staff took the items and left. Only after the storage door was closed did Su Ya gently jump down.

Now is not the time for her to make a move.

Sure enough, an hour later, the cleaner returned and put the used items back in.

He closed the door and left.

At first, Suya could hear the dense footsteps coming from inside the exhibition hall.

As time went on, the footsteps became more and more synchronized.

Suya knew it must be security patrolling; they had been checking to see if anyone was still in the exhibition hall. That's why they split up.

At this moment, Su Ya took out her phone and regained control of the exhibition hall's surveillance footage.

Throughout the entire process, the people in the monitoring room failed to notice that someone had been in the exhibition hall the whole time.

Because the exhibition hall was very large and had many rooms, Suya would randomly hide in a room as soon as she heard footsteps.

Twenty minutes later.

She finally made it to the room with the medicine furnace.

She carefully pushed open the door, wearing white gloves.

The room looked no different from before.

She then took out an infrared viewing mirror that she had prepared in advance.

really

You can see that the entire room is filled with dense infrared rays.

If it gets touched, it's all over.

However, this infrared radiation follows a certain pattern.

She first stepped one foot over, then bent down and crawled down to the second infrared beam. Next, she bent at a right angle, extended the front half of her body over, then raised one leg and stepped over it. As one leg touched the ground, she stepped over the other. Reaching the third infrared beam, she slowly crawled on the ground, then rolled to the right, passing the fourth beam. Finally, after twenty minutes, she successfully crossed the last infrared beam and reached the other side.

Then, using a piece of chewing gum that had been prepared beforehand, stick it to the infrared sensor. At this point, all the infrared light in the room disappeared.
