"Are you kidding me?" Lin Ao tightly grasped the pearl hairpin, anger burning in his eyes.
Yue Ya tilted her head with an innocent look in her eyes: "I don't quite understand what you mean."
Lin Ao stared at him, suppressed his anger and said: "Don't play dumb, the pearl hairpin should have my wife's soul, otherwise how could I give you a reward that exceeds the value of the pearl hairpin itself!"
"I have never seen any soul," Yue Ya showed a puzzled look and spread his hands, "I thought you spent a lot of money to collect the relics of your deceased wife, but it turns out that is not the case."
There was no flaw in Yue Ya's expression, but Lin Ao was still certain that he had been fooled.
Lin Ao laughed in anger: "You haven't seen it, right? Let me help you recall it..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Ao appeared behind Yue Ya and grabbed the back of his neck!
Her skin was numbed by the cold, and a malicious voice rang in Yue Ya's ear: "Did you remember?"
Yue Ya felt as if there was a poisonous snake coiled around his neck, hissing at him. If he didn't give it a satisfactory answer, it would open its bloody mouth and swallow his head whole.
The cold made Yue Ya's exposed skin lose color, and his slender neck looked fragile. When his companions saw him like this, they were more anxious than he was.
The little bear used lip language to tell Yue Ya that her skills had been unfrozen, but Lin Ao was getting close to Yue Ya, and if she used her skills, Yue Ya would be locked in as well - wouldn't that just be locking up loneliness?
"You still haven't remembered? It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin." Lin Ao tightened his palm, and his sharp nails pierced through the gloves and directly embedded into Yue Ya's skin, bleeding instantly. He asked coldly: "Where did you find the pearl hairpin?"
When Fei Fei saw Yue Ya bleeding, his clear eyes were filled with anger, and he pounced over and bit Lin Ao's wrist.
Lin Ao slapped Fei Fei on the head without even looking at him. Fei Fei dodged nimbly, climbed up his arm and bit him viciously.
Lin Ao cried out in pain and released his Yin Qi impatiently, intending to kill this troublesome kitten. All the Yin Qi was sucked into Fei Fei's body.
"What the hell is this?!" Several tiny black tentacles emerged from Lin Ao's arms, tightly wrapped around the fat body, and lifted it into the air.
Feifei lowered his head and took a bite of the tentacle, then another bite. These tentacles had a strong regeneration ability, and it couldn't finish eating them all in a short time. Even if it ate 360°, it would still take some time.
Lin Ao got rid of this troublesome kitten temporarily and looked at Yue Ya again: "If you don't tell me, I will kill your cat, and then kill..."
Lin Ao couldn't finish his words - Yue Ya used the offline card on him, causing him to disappear from the spot.
The tentacles wrapped around Feifei disappeared without a trace. Feifei didn't react. He took a breath of the air, shook his tail in a daze, and then fell straight down.
Yue Ya turned around, caught it, and walked lazily to the little bear.
Xiao Xiong was surprised for a moment, but soon figured it out: "Did you use the offline card on Lin Ao?"
Yueya nodded: "Wait for my notification, and trap him in a cage as soon as he comes online."
Yue Ya had told them before that after the offline card expires, the offline NPC will come back online at the same location, and he wanted to use this feature to catch Lin Ao.
The little bear curled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to escape this time!"
[Countdown to the expiration of the “offline card”: 5, 4, 3…]
As soon as the countdown ended, Yue Ya waved his hand and the little bear immediately used his skills.
A cage appeared out of nowhere and imprisoned Lin Ao who had just come online!
Lin Ao still maintained the gesture of logging off. He looked at the cage in front of him, a little confused about the situation.
Yue Ya changed out of the rabbit mask and put on the ghost mask "borrowed" from the ghost. The murderous aura on his body doubled, and he was immediately comparable to Lin Ao.
He took out the auction hammer and struck the cage. The solemn sound of the strike, like the sound of a bell, resounded throughout the entire ballroom, attracting the attention of all the guests.
The lights from the ball fell on him, making even his hair extremely dazzling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's auction." Yue Ya casually glanced at the evil ghost guests who had gathered together. He was standing on flat ground, but had a condescending attitude.
"The second lot tonight is a living ghost that climbed up from the mouth of hell to the human world, the owner of the Undead Mall—" Yue Ya pointed at the cage, his dark eyes bringing a strong sense of oppression: "Lin Ao."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
The players were also shocked by Yue Ya's move.
[Damn it, I got shown off by the anchor again!]
[I didn’t expect it to work this way. When Little Bear gave the auction hammer to Moon Cub, he probably didn’t expect it to work this way. This is the first time a player dares to auction a boss in this game!]
[This incident sounds very unreasonable, but it seems very reasonable when it comes to this anchor]
[I feel great, Xiao Xiong, take out your grudge notebook and settle all the scores with Lin Ao!]
Lin Aoqi, who was trapped in the cage, laughed angrily, and glared at Yue Ya for hundreds of times: "You want to auction me? What do you have as capital?"
What Lin Ao didn't know was that the auction hammer in Yue Ya's hand was his capital. The auction hammer allowed him to gain the identity of auctioneer and the trust of the guests.
The guests below whispered:
"The auctioneer actually wants to auction off Boss Lin. This is totally unheard of."
"But what the auctioneer said is correct. Rumor has it that Boss Lin is indeed a living ghost who crawled out of the Mouth of Hell and came back to life. It is said that he came from a prominent family. After his death, his family spared no expense to find the Mouth of Hell and sent his body in. Ten years later, he really returned to the human world."
"This is a living ghost. Aren't you curious about what he tastes like? I'm salivating just thinking about it."
"If we can swallow this rare living ghost, we might also benefit and change the ghost's fate..."
Lin Ao took in the guests' reactions. He knew better than anyone that these guests were not good people. The "auctioneer" had already proposed a plan that made all the guests eager to try. If he couldn't shock them, he would not be able to walk out of this door today.
"You want to lock me up in this broken cage? You underestimate me!" Lin Ao sneered and stretched his hand through the gap in the cage.
The next second, Lin Ao was blocked back by an invisible force.
“…”
Yue Ya snorted and laughed without saying a word, but Lin Ao was so embarrassed that he couldn't get off the stage.
Yueya no longer looked at him and spoke loudly to the guests, "You can see that he can't leave this cage. I don't need to elaborate on how rare this item is. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will regret it. The starting price of item number two, 'Living Ghost', is 1 million, and the bid will increase by 200,000 each time. The bidding will start now... Personal reminder, if you don't have enough money, you can find someone to share the order."
The guests became restless again, their eyes turned red, and they wanted to skin Lin Ao alive with their eyes.
"You should listen to him now, and don't regret it later!" Lin Ao turned into a pool of black liquid, constantly hitting the cage and making a huge noise.
The cage was shaken by the impact, which was frightening.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and whispered to Little Bear, "Can your cage hold up? Will it fall apart?"
"Don't worry, the boss in my last dungeon was also fierce. He couldn't break the cage even after banging his head against it..." Little Bear approached him and said in a low voice, "When the props lose their effectiveness, Lin Ao will be auctioned off."
Xiao Feng was relieved: "Seeing Lin Ao in such a mess, I really felt relieved!"
The boy who was rescued by Yue Ya stared at the scene blankly, his eyes full of surprise.
Xiao Feng noticed his expression, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "It's okay, we will definitely get out alive."
The boy pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
After knocking against the cage for a long time, Lin Ao found that he could not break it open, so he had to stop. When he turned back to his original form, he had many more scars on his body, which showed that if he knocked against the cage, he would suffer a backlash.
Yue Ya glanced at the guests and said, "Guests who want to bid can raise their hands."
After a moment of silence, a hand was raised in the crowd: "I bid 1 million!"
Someone took the first step, and the guests went wild.
"I'll give you 1.2 million!"
"1.4 million!"
"Bang!" With a loud noise, a huge palm appeared above the ballroom, and its fingers like stone pillars pressed down, raising a gust of cold wind.
The giant hand's target was the cage that held Lin Ao, and the players who were close to the cage dodged away.
The escape skills they had learned in the dungeon were first-rate, and everyone escaped successfully.
Although Yue Ya ran very fast, he was still swept by the strong wind. He held Fei Fei in his arms, rolled on the ground, avoided the tail of the strong wind, and stood up with one hand supporting the ground.
He looked around, the guests were screaming and running away, only some of the powerful evil spirits were still standing there calmly, and with a casual glance, he found the ones who had just bid. Facts have proved that those who dare to participate in the auction are not ordinary people.
A guest ran past Yueya in a panic, his voice trembling: "It's my fault that I got carried away and forgot about Boss Lin's methods. If this palm had hit me, I would have been reduced to ashes!"
Another said: "Looks like this auction is going to be interrupted!"
Yue Ya sensed a chilling gaze behind him. He turned around and saw Lin Ao staring at him.
Yue Ya slowly narrowed his dark eyes, and Lin Ao's gaze became more resentful.
Neither side spoke, but the atmosphere was tense.
Lin Ao suddenly waved his hand, and his huge hand grabbed the cage, trying to lift it up, but the cage did not move at all.
The little bear sneered, "My trick is called drawing a prison on the ground. The 'ground' refers to this space. Even if it demolishes this floor, it can't take away the cage!"
The giant hand pulled a few times, but found that it couldn't lift the cage, so it clenched its fist and hammered it to the ground! The whole building shook with one punch, the tiles were smashed to pieces, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling was shaky.
Xiao Feng was so frightened that he shuddered: "It will really tear down the building. Even though it can't take the cage with it, we will be doomed if the building collapses..."
Little Bear looked at Yueya awkwardly: "Can your camera fit this big thing?"
"There's a better place to put it." Yue Ya pointed to a wall.
The little bear looked over and saw that a self-portrait of Black Crow had appeared on the wall at some point!
The little bear smiled: "Friendly troops are coming!"
Yue Ya met the eyes of the Black Crow in the painting and gestured twice towards the giant hand. The Black Crow understood what he meant immediately because she was planning to do the same.
Black Crow moved his eyes away, and the picture frame left the wall and was directly attached to the giant hand. A white light flashed, and the giant hand with amazing destructive power disappeared on the spot. The Black Crow on the drawing paper also disappeared, and was replaced by a giant with a blurred face.
The picture frame floated back onto the wall and was hung steadily.
Yue Ya has experienced the maze set by Black Crow. The giant cannot get out of the world in the painting by force, but as for relying on intelligence... it should take a long time.
Without the giant's help, Lin Ao lost half of his confidence. He couldn't leave the cage on his own, and even if he had extraordinary abilities, he couldn't make any waves.
Lin Ao soon found the painting. He immediately figured out the whole story. He curled his hands in disbelief and went crazy. "Black Crow?! You actually persuaded her to come out to help. Where's my wife? Did you bring her here? Let her out, let her out!"
Yue Ya felt that Little Butterfly's emotions were beginning to fluctuate, and he whispered, "Calm down, it's not the right time yet."
Little Butterfly barely suppressed her emotions and continued to endure for the sake of the overall situation.
Lin Ao was irritated by the incident involving the Black Crow Gang and Yue Ya. He pounded the ground to vent his anger, looked at the employees in the hall, and ordered, "What are you standing there for? Kill them!"
These employees had been ruled by Lin Ao for too long and were accustomed to his orders, so they subconsciously took up weapons and surrounded the players.
Yue Ya smiled and shook her head, saying in a bewitching voice: "Silly children, you will be free when he turns to ashes. Don't you want freedom?"
Yueya knows what these employees desire most.
The employees looked at each other, neither attacking nor retreating.
Lin Ao was so anxious: "Listen to me, kill him and I will pay you!"
Upon hearing this, Yueya laughed lightly and fought back effortlessly: "If he dies, you will be the new owner of the mall. Do you still need his salary?"
This not only makes sense, it is the truth!
A golden opportunity presented itself to the employees, and they all put away their weapons.
Yue Ya faced the guests and clapped the auction hammer in his hand. "We have wasted some time. The auction will continue now. The last guest's 1.4 million is still valid. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price than him?"
The guest who offered 1.4 million raised his hand and said, "Everyone, I'm the one who offered 1.4 million."
"I'll offer 3 million." A male ghost wearing a black hat on the periphery raised his hand to make an offer.
Yue Ya then discovered that after the chaos, a new group of guests appeared. These guests looked wealthy and powerful, and their murderous aura was several times more powerful than that of ordinary guests.
"I'll pay 5 million," the female ghost holding the fan said with a smile, "It's only 5 million to taste the taste of a living ghost, why not~"
"10 million!" Lin Ao gritted his teeth and said, "I'll buy myself, okay?"
Yue Ya was unmoved: "No."
Lin Ao's eyes were red as bloodshot as he negotiated with him: "I'll give each of you 10 million. You can decide whether to use ghost money or cash. I'll let you leave this mall safely. Open this damn cage for me!"
[The boss who was forced into a desperate situation was in a state of extreme embarrassment]
[He deserves it! This idiot deserves this fate]
Yue Ya looked at him with pity, and said in a soft and slow tone: "Don't you realize it yet? This auction is no longer something you and I can stop."
Lin Ao's expression froze. He looked ahead dully. The ballroom was already filled with guests who had crawled out of the ghost gate. All pairs of interested eyes were looking at him.
There are many difficult guests among these guests. He has a chance of winning in a one-on-one fight, but these guests can tear him apart when they unite.
These evil ghosts join this "game" for the sake of excitement. They want to see a living ghost being auctioned, or want to taste a living ghost, or want to see him fall into the mud.
Yue Ya was right. Even if the cage was opened at this moment, Lin Ao might not be able to walk out of the ballroom.
Lin Ao stared at Yue Ya angrily: "If you play such a big game, how are you going to get away when the time comes?"
Yue Ya chuckled: "Don't bother."
