The constantly approaching traders made it necessary for Horned Demon and his group to disperse as soon as possible to avoid being caught plotting behind the scenes.
Because of this, every problem had to be resolved in a race against time. Jingxin, who assumed the position of think tank, felt that the search efficiency of the Order's database was terrible. Forty to fifty words popped out from the gaps of his teeth before the corresponding information appeared.
"Wan Ta, the director of the Orchid Town Welfare House in the Forestwall District of Xia City. The founder of the Order of Creation. Currently, the Order has 27 members and two suspected ability users. What the hell?"
Fortunately, the follow-up information was somewhat valuable. "He has a good relationship with Luo Nan. Xie Junping, an official member of the Order of Creation, is Luo Nan's best friend. They communicate frequently."
Jingxin raised his head and cast a horrified look at Horned Demon. "You actually let this kind of person participate in the auction and even let him pay a deposit! Are you sure that this Wan... Dean Wan doesn't have Luo Nan, Ouyang Chen, Wu Jiong, or all of them behind him? "
Horned Demon was also horrified. "Are you kidding me? I didn't allow the IP of Xia City to join at all. This Dean Welfare House must have used some sort of method! "
Horse Monkey had a big heart. He even comforted the two, "Xia City isn't a monolithic block. The information that flows out from there every year is worth at least a billion. Who knows how many so-called 'insiders' have gotten rich. Look, isn't Horned Demon the living proof? "
Horned Demon and Jingxin ignored him. Jingxin asked Fatty Dragon, "Are you sure there's no one hiding behind this guy?"
Fatty Dragon said in a muffled voice, "He himself is very troublesome. He has already sensed the surveillance carrier."
The gazes of the few people intersected before finally focusing on Horned Demon. Horned Demon was silent for about three seconds before he burst out laughing. "If Luo Nan was called over ahead of time, many people would have very interesting expressions. But from my point of view, that kid would rather kill his way over than let an inexplicable person come over to scout the situation. Xia City has a lot of plastic brotherhood... "
"Don't rush to a conclusion. The current situation is very complicated. It's much more complicated than we imagined." Jingxin went through the information of the participants again. The more he thought about it, the deeper the waters were. However, it was impossible to turn back now. Otherwise, evacuation would be a big problem. "There's not enough time. Let's disperse first. Fatty Dragon, set up the communication network. Everyone can contact each other at any time. First, do the work on the surface. Then, we can sort out the rest step by step.
This was the safest way, and it was also the last resort.
Other than the centaur, the three members of the Amaterasu Sect covered their tracks. With the support of Fatty Dragon's huge sensing range of nearly a hundred kilometers, they staggered from the direction of the people coming from each direction.
The centaur stayed in the same place. He first pondered, then he squatted down and grabbed a handful of red soil from the ground. There was still the body fluid of the snake that was killed by Fat Dragon. He stuck out his tongue and used the tip of his tongue to roll up the mixture of soil and viper gravy. He tasted it carefully and swallowed it.
"… An ominous fishy smell. Malice is approaching."
The centaur's mood became a little anxious. He stood up and walked around the hole made by the fist on the ground several times. As a psychic, he tried to pinpoint the source of the malice, but his spiritual compass seemed to have been blown away by a strong wind. It was inaccurate.
For such a situation to occur, it was either that the other party's strength was far above his, or that there was more than one source of malicious intent, or both.
Either way, it was far from what he had expected.
The centaur stretched out his hand, and the limbs in his vision were trembling slightly.
"We're all in place. We're turning back." Jingxin reported the latest situation on behalf of Fatty Dragon, who was not good with words. "The light spots on the glider should be able to capture your position. Gardner, who is in front, will arrive in about fifteen minutes. The black fog is also trying to sense from afar … Are you ready?"
The centaur was still looking at his arm. After a few seconds, he grinned, "It doesn't feel good. However, when I think about how they have to search for the laboratory door from scratch, I feel a lot better."
Jingxin ignored the crazy words that followed and voiced his opinion, "I don't feel good either. Apart from us, half of the remaining six people had powerful backgrounds or were suspects. This looked more like the inspection of the goods before the auction — before you exposed your information, the real seller would have already sold the entire process to the last detail. Centaur, my old friend, you might be dancing in the palm of someone else's hand. I hope you don't drag us into it! "
"… F * ck!"
No matter what, it was impossible for the centaur to back down now. Just as he was speaking, the people participating in the transaction were arriving one after another. He had already seen the dust stirred up by Gardner's off-road vehicle and the trajectory of the light spots' glider hovering in the air. In other directions that he could not see, layers of complex thoughts were surging up. Just as he predicted with his psychic connection, there was a serious lack of goodwill.
About half an hour later, all the participants in the transaction had arrived at the location where the centaur was.
Different people, the same scrutiny, and the natural resistance and pressure in the unfamiliar environment and atmosphere of suspicion caused everyone to naturally distance themselves. They were scattered in an area with a diameter of nearly a hundred meters, only surrounding the centaur in the middle.
The three people from the Amaterasu Cult showed no flaws. They were scattered in different directions, intertwining with the other six people.
Those who knew each other, like Jingxin and Cui Chenghe, nodded to each other; those who hated each other, like Ma Hou, looked ferociously at the black mist, as if he wanted to devour it. This was not a disguise, but a performance of his true colors.
But in the end, all the focus was on the centaur's head, which made the deformed skull in front of his forehead ache.
The pressure was huge … But the more it was like this, the more excited the centaur became.
In this state, the centaur's craziness was finally completely stimulated. Under his feet was the Red Earth Wasteland covered with wrinkles, but it felt like he was standing on the glorious stage of an opera house. He didn't deliberately face anyone. Instead, he chose to turn his back to the sun, allowing the rising sun to gild his body.
Then, he began his speech.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you here. Logically speaking, I should have given a passionate speech, but based on the foundation of our relationship, there was basically no need for that.
"As I have written in advance in the instructions for the secret visit auction, this is a transaction of 'one is willing to take the hit, and the other is willing to take the hit.' In this transaction, I may be a shameless robber, but I may also be an idiot who buys the casket and returns the pearls. You may spend a huge sum of money to pay the deposit, but you may also find a treasure that will make people envious.
"At the end of the day, this is a transaction full of gambling. It is an exciting and unhealthy relationship. So, I must say the ugly words first: I must confirm again that you all already understand the background of this transaction … "
At this time, Gardner, who was wearing a leather coat and sitting on the hood of the off-road vehicle, raised his hand like a good student, indicating that he had something to say.
The centaur gestured for him to speak.
Gardner's skin was a weather-polished dark red, and he wore sunglasses. His whole body was dark under the sun, but when he grinned, his teeth were white and very eye-catching. And his words seemed to be even more attractive.
"The background you are talking about, are you referring to the lucky incident of being a flag-waving minion, but accidentally signing the final large auction commission agreement?"
As soon as he said that, sparse laughter came from all directions. Some were serious, and some were not amused, and the people who laughed included Jingxin and Horse Monkey.
What f * cking good acting skills!
The centaur's cheeks twitched twice, and his eyes slid across Gardner's face like a venomous snake. The latter still maintained a bright smile, not caring at all.
It was also at this moment that on the Amaterasu Parish's secret communication network, Jingxin once again announced that his judgment was correct, "Look, this is basically an inspection team! Perhaps behind these people are the buyers who were prepared to pay in that damned auction! "
After mocking the centaur impudently, Horse Monkey locked onto his enemy again and chuckled, "I don't know about the others, but that guy from Black Fog, unless he transforms into the world's top actor in his spirit body state, I dare to swear that this guy's gambling addiction must have flared up, and he just barged in … He doesn't know the twists and turns inside, so now he's stupid, and the frequency at which he detects others at the mental level has increased several times!"
"Is this good news?" Jingxin reluctantly responded out of friendship.
"Of course it's good news! I think he's now a little girl who's been stuffed into a men's prison! What a perfect test subject. We have to keep him, don't scare him away! "
The centaur didn't comment on this. He had his own thoughts and rhythm of speech. Therefore, he could endure the ridicule around him and maintain a basic commercial face, "It's good that everyone understands the background and has expectations. It can save me a lot of saliva. But according to the most basic professional ethics, no matter what kind of cognitive standpoint you have, I still have to emphasize the essence of this transaction:
"The opportunity I provide you is just to taste the so-called 'fresh flavor' before the real carnival of capital. And your bid won't get real goods and services. What you get is only an opportunity, and it's an illusory opportunity. Maybe you're lucky enough to reach the sky in a single bound; maybe you're unlucky enough to have the corpses dealt with later … "
At this moment, someone spoke again, but his voice was a little strange. Because it was Black Fog who spoke. As the only participant who came with a spirit body, he was like his name, like a dark cloud that had sunk to the ground. At this moment, he was using his mind to interfere with the material level, vibrating the air molecules to form a voice:
"You don't have to be so secretive. I just want to ask, as long as you pay the balance, can you enter Luo Yuandao's wilderness laboratory to explore and search? The information and items found inside can also be taken away at will? "
Before he finished speaking, Black Fog's heart sank. Because at this moment, more than a dozen gazes shifted over at the same time, and there was a subtle change.
Black Fog was a senior B-level powerhouse after all, so he didn't lack experience and scheming. From his point of view, the changes in the gazes of the people around him, even if there were some differences in the details, were similar in essence. There was no need to be precise. Just "working together" itself was tantamount to excluding him, and it also confirmed the guess in his heart — he had stumbled into a deadly vortex.
Ma Da was annoyed!
It was also his fault for getting carried away by the recent abnormally popular "Formatting Theory", "Cage Theory", and "Configuration Theory". When he heard that it was the "possible origin" of these theories, he excitedly paid the deposit, thinking that it was a gamble to cut the queue, but he forgot to refer to similar incidents, which were all earth-shattering …
This was not a place for a small investor like him to mix in, not to mention he had encountered a troublesome old enemy like Ma Hou.
Bad luck! Bad luck! Bad luck!
Black Fog already had the intention to retreat. At this moment, the horned demon also responded lazily, "I've said it before, it's just an opportunity. In fact, your luck wasn't too good at the beginning. There was a small problem with the extra benefits I prepared for you, so I had to cancel it. This also caused us to have to put in more effort to enter and exit Luo Yuandao's laboratory … "
Black Fog couldn't go around with the horned demon anymore, but he couldn't step too deep either. He could only act appropriately and pretend to be anxious, "Speak human language, where is Luo Yuandao's laboratory!"
The horned demon's expression didn't change, "It's right where I'm standing … within a radius of 300 kilometers."
Black Fog didn't even need to pretend. His spirit body was greatly shaken, and the sound wave formed by interference was like a loudspeaker, buzzing, "You tricked us! With a radius of 300 kilometers, this is the area of a large metropolitan area. You want to play hide-and-seek here until the end of time? "
"I've said it before, one is willing to take the hit and the other is willing to take the hit …"
"Damn it, you're going to scare this coward away!" Ma Hou scratched his ears and cheeks as he watched from the side. He couldn't help but forcefully correct the horned demon's words through the internal communication network.
Jingxin persuaded Ma Hou to maintain restraint, "Black Fog has long wanted to run. It's useless to be tactful. Besides, it doesn't matter if he runs away. You can chase him back. If you feel that your strength isn't enough, I think Fat Dragon will be happy to help without affecting the mission. He has always had an appetite for this kind of spirit body. "
Fat Dragon didn't respond.
As for the horned demon, he seemed to be looking back. He raised three fingers and made an oath, "I can swear with the spiritual perception of a 'psychic' that Luo Yuandao's laboratory is indeed in this area. However, it is affected by a special force and drifts erratically. However, it is definitely traceable. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to go to the auction. I will inform you of this news and join the search team. If it is found, I will share it with everyone for free … "
Having said that, he chuckled again, "Actually, after finding it, it can't be hidden. At present, the laboratory's anchoring device has been dismantled and transported. If you want to open the gap, the collision of space-time and the interaction between the mental and material levels will be very spectacular. You should be worried that the Toyama Auction House will come back for trouble instead of wasting precious time and doubting my information."
The horned demon's solemn vow still showed a certain degree of persuasiveness. However, no matter what he said, Black Fog would never stay here.
At this moment, the horned demon's pointed words also came over, "Anyone can leave at any time, no problem. However, as stated in the event description, the balance is not collected and the deposit is not refunded. "
Diagonally opposite, the psionic detective Hua Dian, who had been silent since he arrived, also raised his hand, indicating that he had a question to consult.
F * ck the deposit, f * ck the f * ck opportunity!
Black Fog directly retreated, and the horned demon answered the question. This was the best opportunity to leave. Didn't Ma Hou, that son of a bitch, stared at him with venomous eyes?
His decision was obviously correct. Just as he retreated, Ma Hou's figure in the distance jumped as if he was about to chase, but he forcefully stopped with an unwilling expression.
Such a reaction made Black Fog's heart turn cold. This son of a bitch has an accomplice! Otherwise, with that temper, how could he hold back his fierceness?
Without time to rejoice, Black Fog used the advantage of the spirit body's high-speed flight and retreated with all his strength. In a short time, he escaped hundreds of kilometers away.
This should be a safe distance. Among that group of people, there were no Extraordinaires who could spread the sensor network over hundreds of kilometers.
Black Fog relaxed a little when he didn't see the enemy chasing him. He temporarily slowed down and diverted his attention to plan his next move. At this moment, a shockwave suddenly cut through the void. It was so strong and sharp that even his mind was in turmoil, giving him a fright.
An expert had crossed the border!
The shockwave came and left abruptly. Although it was strong, it left no traces. However, there was a penetrating and sharp intent that went straight to the depths of his spirit body.
This wasn't an illusion. Black Fog seemed to be hit by a strong beam of light in an instant. The light shone through the bottom structure of his spirit body, and he felt that there was almost no privacy.
Such an impact, if it landed, would definitely be a first-class spiritual killing method.
Even in the out-of-body state, Black Fog evoked a "hair-raising" memory of his physical body. His spirit body froze in the air for almost a minute. After confirming that he was not injured, he finally knew how to think.
Which deity had arrived? Looking at the direction, he should be going to the horned demon's side … Forget it, it's just a passing, it has nothing to do with me!
Black Fog was sure that today was the day of his great misfortune. Everything was inappropriate. He couldn't stay any longer, so he suppressed all distracting thoughts, calmed his mind, and fled far away without looking back.
After Black Fog fled for another ten kilometers, a raven commonly seen in the wilderness arrived late. It arrived above the area where Black Fog had been stunned for a long time. It circled several times but found nothing.
"Fuck, he ran away!" After Monkey got the news, he didn't have the mood to hide anymore. In front of everyone, he stomped his feet heavily.
However, no one paid attention to him. Most people were communicating with the horned demon about the details of this transaction, preparing for the so-called "gambling on luck" later.
Monkey wanted to vent again, but Fat Dragon suddenly updated his message,
"Seems to be still there."
"Huh?" Fat Dragon rarely spoke with uncertain words and tone, so Monkey didn't dare to easily interpret it. He cautiously confirmed, "Who is still there?"
