Chapter 185 Death Game Shock! The sky-high priced item is actually...
He didn't know where this ominous premonition came from. Clearly, everything had been going smoothly until now...
Lin Xi did not have the same doubts as Amuro Toru. He reached out, picked up the bracelet and put it on his hand.
The metal bracelet clicked and closed, reminding Toru Amuro of handcuffs.
She tapped the bracelet, and the number 17 appeared on the electronic display screen.
"How much are you?" she asked.
Under her gaze, Toru Amuro suppressed his premonition and put on the bracelet as well.
“…18.”
"It looks like the numbers are connected," Lin Xi said. "Even you have a bracelet... so anyone can bid."
Lin Xi had assumed that only guests with the financial resources to bid would receive the bracelets. Those brought in by guests didn't have bracelets and could only watch the auction proceed with the qualified guests, unable to bid themselves.
But even Toru Amuro has a bracelet.
Isn’t the Yuejiang family afraid that someone will bid a random price?
After breakfast, Lin Xi brought Toru Amuro and followed the waiter to the auction venue.
The venue was indeed built in the antique building that Toru Amuro broke into last night.
A platform rose in the center of the square, and Yuejiang Kazumei, acting as auctioneer, stood under the spotlight. The oval-shaped auction hall was only half occupied by guests; the side facing Yuejiang Kazumei was empty.
Although the building is only a replica and not as large as the real ancient Greek Colosseum, many modifications have been made to the details of the building - for example, the seats are spacious and the guests' seats are far apart. For example, in addition to the cushions and gorgeous blankets on the seats, the armrest on the right has also been turned into an electronic device, and users can participate in the bidding by placing a wristband on it. For example, the sky above is not the sky, but modern lighting equipment - but the ancient and wild atmosphere still shrouds the interior space of this antique building, which makes people feel awe.
Tsukie Kazumi wore a new dress today, just as gorgeous as yesterday. A pearl necklace hung around her neck, reflecting a warm glow under the light.
After Yuejiang Hemei's announcement, the auction officially began.
Although Lin Xi only wanted to buy the Dark Night Baron and leave, and was not interested in other items except Miss X's paintings, he was still attracted by the various strange items.
For example, there was the skull of an ancient tribal chieftain; the largest natural ruby ever discovered; the position of Japan's foreign minister (Amuro Toru's expression twisted for a moment upon hearing this, as if he hadn't expected the position of foreign minister to be auctioned); and a medicine that could delay death and cure disease (the bidding for this item was fierce, with the final price exceeding the starting price by several dozen times). There was even a person among the items, a weaver girl. According to Tsukie Kazumi, her weaving skills were exceptional, and if you bid on her, you could get her to weave the finest fabric in the world.
The funniest item on auction was undoubtedly the contact information for Kaito Kidd. Lin Xi had seen this thief quite often on the news, but he hadn't expected to see something related to him again at today's auction.
What was even more surprising to her was that Kaito Kid's contact information was even more sought-after than the medicine that could cure the disease. After dozens of rounds of fierce bidding, the transaction price was even higher than that of the medicine.
Lin Xi couldn't help but mutter, "It's just a contact number, is it really necessary to sell it for such a high price?"
Does Kaito Kidd himself know that his contact information has been hyped up so much?
Amuro Toru was very calm: "After all, Kaito Kid has the most female fans in Japan, so it's normal that his contact information is valuable."
Every time the police chased the jewel thief, there were always a bunch of fans making trouble at the scene, and the police couldn't drive them away by force.
If that kid hadn't always returned the gems honestly and never hurt anyone, the police would have used force long ago.
After Kaito Kidd’s contact information was auctioned off, the next item to be auctioned was the USB flash drive of Dark Night Baron.
Lin Xi raised the price dramatically, which made the other guests who were eager to buy the item back off. In the end, he got the USB flash drive smoothly.
After a while, the waiter brought the USB flash drive over on a tray.
"Mission accomplished~" Lin Xi put away the USB drive with satisfaction. "All we have to do now is leave here when the auction is over."
The mission went smoothly and the USB flash drive was obtained smoothly. Amuro Toru should have relaxed like Lin Xi, but he still frowned.
That ominous premonition still hung over his head like a dark cloud.
"Where are the things you're selling? Haven't they appeared yet?" he asked.
He remembered Punch saying that she asked Yuejiang Hemei to help add an item to the auction.
"No. It doesn't matter. I didn't even want to take advantage of that thing." Lin Xi said frankly.
Toru Amuro: "?"
"Then why did Yuejiang Kazumi agree to let you add items... No, you're bidding on non-physical items?"
Lin Xi made a mysterious hushing gesture to him.
On the stage, Yuejiang Kazumi announced the name of the next lot.
"The next lot is," she paused, "Miss X's identity information."
Below the stage, Toru Amuro's pupils shrank slightly.
