Chapter 800 Before Entering the Secret Place
Both parties tested the medicine and the auction items and confirmed that they were correct without further delay. After the visitors were sent away, Bai Jincheng reopened the boxes one by one. Looking at the mostly well-preserved bronze artifacts, calligraphy and paintings, and even the last sheep head, his excitement was self-evident.
When the photo was taken, I couldn't observe it closely or even touch it with my own hands, so the sense of reality was definitely not as strong as it is now.
Then, as planned, he took out from the space ring the cultural relics and antiques that he had specially prepared before departure, and properly transferred and put them away one by one.
As for the original packaging, it remains in the hotel room.
Later, you will have to follow the invitation to enter the secret place. It is not known whether it is safe here. If there really are people with bad intentions who are deliberately making trouble, it would be questionable whether I could leave the country smoothly with so many valuable items.
Don’t mention the proceeds from the auction. If it wasn’t intentional, China’s treasures would never appear in the United States.
It would be better to carry it with you. If anything unexpected happens, you will have a ready-made excuse for not being there. If you don't ask the hotel manager to compensate for the cost of sudden loss of your items before check-out, you can definitely be called a "good person".
Over the next two days, I went back to going out for window shopping, but when I returned to the room to check my belongings, I could clearly see that they had been moved. This does not include room cleaning. After all, except when I was in the room, there was a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the room at other times. I even specifically told the front desk not to go in before I went out.
Bai Jincheng couldn't help but find it funny. Could it be that he couldn't even wait for a little while?
The box was tied up with several loops of rope, and there were clear signs of attempts to loosen the ties. But it would be strange if it could be easily opened with special techniques, and it would be extremely difficult to completely restore it after dismantling it.
On the day Steven and his group left, he went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner, and immediately asked the waiter about the specific location. He then bought a lot of thick ropes, also in order to put the valuable things inside into the space ring, so he simply prepared it with some care in the disguise.
It is estimated that before entering the secret place, no matter how many people want to steal antiques, after seeing such complicated operations, they would be afraid that the steps before replacing them with fakes without anyone noticing would not be completed in a short time, so it is absolutely safe.
As for what happens in the future, who cares! ! !
The night before departure, I decisively put the contents of the two carry-on suitcases and all the gifts into the space ring.
Even if I can't get back to the hotel, the most I'll lose are two suitcases and a few sets of old clothes. He didn't want to keep even this little thing unless there was a reasonable explanation.
The next morning, as agreed, Bai Jincheng and Sumarokov went to have breakfast together, and then took a car to the entrance of the secret place.
The temperature in the United States is now around 18 to 31 degrees, with a large range between morning and evening, so the combination of short sleeves and thin outerwear is very suitable.
Everyone was basically dressed like this, but Bai Jincheng was particularly happy. The reason was that the whole set of clothes he was wearing was made by his young wife according to the standards of protective clothing, and she added a lot of refined elements to the clothes, and the functions were basically the same.
And because of the "constant temperature symbol" attached to it, no matter how hot or cold the temperature is, it won't have much impact.
In addition, I carried a super large backpack on my back so that I could take out some things without worrying about it being too abrupt if there were outsiders present.
All the people who had been briefed on the first day they met had now arrived, and no one seemed interested in talking, except for himself and the guys around him. The only people who made some noise were from the Wine Country and the Eagle Country, the two countries where the two people came from.
As for the remaining friends from Paris and Italy, the former was sitting in the shade under a tree, daydreaming, while the latter was holding a pen and paper, probably writing or drawing something.
The person in charge of leading the team was from the DuPont family. Since many invitations were sent by the Roosevelt family, it was undoubtedly Steven who came to take over from them.
Such an arrangement was somewhat surprising no matter how one looked at it. Behind the two were more than a dozen fellows whose aura had not been restrained. They could clearly find out the specific ancient martial arts internal strength of each of them. Bai Jincheng was even more certain that the content in the document to ask him to come over was just an excuse.
It is said that it requires seven people with the strength of a military general or above to open the entrance. Looking at the big man running behind him, he is at least at the second level of a military general.
Having said that, he has the strongest strength among all the invited people. Fortunately, his wife has improved so many of the weapons and protective equipment that were originally refined, and the Breath-Retaining Jade has also been strengthened.
Now, after the holder inputs internal energy, in addition to the option that no one could see the strength clearly, he can also display any number of levels to the outside world, provided that it is not higher than the actual level. Now he has adjusted it to the fourth level of generals.
I’m afraid it’s hard to say when we’ll come out after entering the secret place.
Now that I'm at the entrance, if I suddenly change my mind and decide not to attend, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to even leave the beautiful country. Bai Jincheng also really wanted to know what was going on.
He watched with his own eyes as the seven strongest people among those who arrived later walked forward. Two of them who passed by looked up at him and stared at him for a long while, but did not say anything. Then they went back to their fixed positions and input the ancient martial arts internal energy into the same point together.
He turned around and quickly pulled Sumarokov's arm, sternly admonished him to be careful and reminded him of any doubtful points.
To this, Juedu nodded in agreement and thanked him, then lowered his head to rummage through his messenger bag.
He took out two things that looked like flares and quickly stuffed them into his hands, reminding him solemnly, "This is something our family has specially customized. Its main function is not the sound or the red signal, but that it emits a substance when pulled. With special equipment, we can find the exact location as quickly as possible. As long as you don't wander around, I will get there as quickly as possible."
After thinking for a while, he continued to explain: "My grandfather originally asked me to bring them with me before I left, mainly so that I could find a suitable companion before entering the secret place so that we could take care of each other. But looking at the other guys, how can I feel comfortable forming an alliance with them? I'll just be thankful that they don't stab me in the back."
Bai Jincheng was quite impressed at this moment. After several contacts, he felt that Sumarokov was indeed trustworthy. After thinking about it, he reached out and patted him on the back and nodded affirmatively.
In fact, he quietly took out a "defense talisman" from the space ring and stuck it on his body.
Bai Jincheng's own defensive accessories were quietly activated when Steven and his party arrived.
As a faint light flashed, there was a commotion at the entrance, and it turned out that the secret place was completely opened. The first person tried to rush in hastily, but was bounced back.
It seems that there is a special screening threshold for entry. What is it exactly? Looking at the confusion in everyone's eyes, I am afraid that even the DuPont and Roosevelt families are not clear.
The discussion around them was getting louder and louder. Sumarokov suddenly pulled his arm and said hurriedly, "I feel like something is going to happen. Be careful. If there is any danger, remember to fire a flare."
Without waiting for a reply, most people's eyes went dark. When they opened their eyes again, they had apparently appeared in the secret place.
