Luo Nan blinked his eyes. After he completely digested the information Blood Demon presented, he finally admitted:
This was indeed an unexpected situation.
Aside from being surprised by Wang Yu's complicated and rigid background, he was also surprised by Blood Demon's special effort to explain himself.
Luo Nan had heard He Yueyin, Zhang Yingying, Cat Eyes, Bamboo Pole, and many other friends talk about Wang Yu. They all gave her a very high evaluation …. Or it could be said that they were afraid of her. But in his heart, Luo Nan had never considered Wang Yu to be a core character. Most of his attention was placed on the Extraordinary level.
Blood Demon's attitude was more or less a reminder to Luo Nan.
"If it's Wang Yu …." Luo Nan's gaze shifted from Blood Demon to Takar, wanting to understand him more deeply.
Takar clearly misunderstood Luo Nan's intentions. He quickly averted his gaze, but he was able to avoid Luo Nan. He was unable to avoid Blood Demon.
Blood Demon simply reached out and pressed Takar's scalp, forcing him to turn his face. "Don't be afraid. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. The point is, is there any use in making things difficult for you? Be straightforward. You should have a catalog of the auction items on hand, right? Or perhaps a delivery list? "
Takar's hardness was crushed by the slap on his scalp. His tattooed, dark face barely managed to maintain a stiff smile.
"Uncle Blood …."
"Bai Hao retired two years ago. It doesn't matter if he really retired or if he's just fooling people. On the surface, he certainly doesn't care about anything. Haven't you been busy licking that nephew's gutter for the past two years? You might want to go and support him tonight. "
"I really don't have the ability to be his uncle." Takar's words contained a bit of emotion. Luo Nan just didn't know if it was directed at Wang Yu, Blood Demon, or both.
However, he quickly changed his tone. "If it's a catalog of the auction items, I do have it on hand … Uncle, it's hot outside. Let's go inside and talk."
Blood Demon affectionately patted the tattooed man's butt. "Wouldn't we have gone inside earlier if you said so earlier?"
"......"
Luo Nan didn't see Takar's expression again. Takar turned around and led them into the living room of the mansion. This room was designed to be hollow, and it had a good sense of space. The lighting, stairs, cabinets, decorations, and so on seemed to be made of copper and iron. Most importantly, the wiring inside and outside the room was also very … conspicuous. It had a very metallic feel to it.
There was no need for an air conditioner or fresh air system, and the whole room was quite cool. Sitting inside, one could almost hear the noise of the electric current flowing through the cables.
Yep, the Blood Demon had said that Takar was a fan of the "Age of Electricity". From the looks of it, it was indeed true.
In terms of personality, he was a good match.
Luo Nan shifted his gaze to size up Takkar.
The latter maintained his smile and let it slide in a relatively reasonable range.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, at least from Luo Nan's point of view. Fortunately, before they entered the house, Takar had already arranged for his men to take out the catalog of the auction items. He also sent the so-called "delivery list" along with the corresponding images.
His attitude of lying down and letting himself be beaten was very obvious.
The Blood Demon did not torture him anymore. He simply gestured for him to do the demonstration himself. The catalog of the auction items was actually an electronic draft. All they needed was to turn on the projector.
Everyone understood where the main point of the matter was. They didn't play any tricks. They directly located the relevant page. The Blood Demon had an extremely serious appearance. He even commanded:
"Stop, stop, stop. It's here."
In the end, Takkar was not a benevolent person. He could not help but retort: "Uncle Blood, all you need to do is log into the official website of the Toyama Auction House. It shouldn't be hard to buy a set, right? You've never seen it before? "
"Of course I've seen it. I've studied it more than once or twice." The Blood Demon's palm changed its target. This time, it was Takkar's thigh. "There are some details that need to be clearly explained under the eyes of a logistics tycoon like you. Only then will it be more authoritative."
Luo Nan had actually seen the catalog of the auction items. Of course, from beginning to end, he had only paid attention to this one page. The images on the page were naturally of the equipment and environment that had been dismantled from the 70-zero Format Research Institute and then reassembled. As for the text content, it was filled with the exaggerated atmosphere that was habitually created in Ban City.
"Demon Scientists!
"Living Experiment Site!
"The Dark Side of Deep Blue … …"
And so on.
Looking at it too much would cause both physical and psychological discomfort.
Up until now, Luo Nan did not know why the Blood Demon had asked him to come here and look at this information that had been made public a long time ago.
The Blood Demon used an overused phrase to express his attitude: "Brother Luo, you must know that the devil is in the details."
"Huh?"
"Take a look again. Look carefully. This is the only auction item related to your grandfather in this auction … …"
Luo Nan was sharp in the end: "The only one?"
"That's right. It's practically impossible for a regular auction, especially an old brand like the Toyama Auction House, to suddenly increase the auction items. That would be too unfriendly to the bidders. Therefore, they will only auction the items shown on the catalog. "
"Then … … What about the notebook you were talking about?"
"It's right here."
The Blood Demon pointed at an extremely unremarkable corner of the projection image. It was a certain operating console at the edge of the ring-shaped distributed space of equipment. There was indeed an open notebook displayed there.
Luo Nan was speechless for a time. Let's not talk about whether or not he had noticed this detail before. Even if he did see it now, he would still believe that it was some sort of display element.
Could it be that the Toyama Auction House would restore the scene on the projection image without the slightest error during the auction?
Hold on, it was hard to say!
"You can see it now. This notebook isn't an independent auction item. It can be said to be a part of the entire laboratory equipment system. It can also be said to be an addition to this equipment system. Do you know what this means?"
The Blood Demon concluded: "Someone wants to play with you!"
Luo Nan's gaze focused on the projection image. He pursed his lips in silence.
"Think about it. Let's say you're in an auction right now. You're sitting in the auction seat. The auctioneer will spout lotus flowers on the stage, wantonly exaggerating the value of this set of equipment and the mysterious laboratory behind the equipment. Everyone's appetite will be whetted … …"
The Blood Demon was like a scriptwriter. He strung together the entire plot thread in the reading session: "The problem is that the equipment is dead. It has been stripped away from its original position. It doesn't even have a specific research object. In the end, many people will hesitate. They will have doubts because of you."
"At this time, the auctioneer will walk over here, pick up this notebook, open it, decipher it, tear it apart, and burn it. Of course, it will be more convenient to play the video related to this notebook. What will happen next? "
Luo Nan still didn't speak. His gaze remained fixed on the projection image.
The Blood Demon grinned. "I can't guess what other people's reactions will be. For the majority of the bidders at the scene, it doesn't really matter if there's one more addition or one less. What they consider more is the problem of their relationship with you. "
"But what about you? If you prepared the corresponding funds and bargaining chips early on, then the value of the entire equipment will rise along with this notebook. Do you want it or not? "
"Of course you want it, but do you have enough bargaining chips?
"Won't it be awkward if you don't have enough bargaining chips?
"How does it feel after the awkwardness … …"
The Blood Demon's voice suddenly broke off. This was because Luo Nan shot him a glance.
Blood Demon grasped the emotion in this glance. He laughed even more happily. "Ahahaha, I really guessed it. You never thought of going through the normal procedures!"
