Chapter 1496 It Really Is Her
The darkness lasted only two seconds.
The booth in the center of the hall was gradually brightened, and three huge LCD screens focused on the location of the booth from different angles. There were no auction items, so the screen was empty.
Mu Zi's eyes gradually adapted to the environment, she looked around her.
Just because all the light was gathered on the booth, the faces of the guests who were hidden in the darkness showed the excitement of peeping in the dark.
She withdrew her gaze, feeling very unwell... It's not something that can be described as disgusting, but that she is in an incompatible environment, her scalp is numb, and even her breathing feels oppressed.
Murong Cheng seemed to be aware of her uneasiness, held her hand, and said softly: "Relax, just pretend to be watching a play."
An old man in a formal dress entered the booth, and after a brief opening remark, the auction of the first item began.
Jewelry, famous paintings and antiques seem to be unable to arouse people's interest in this kind of place. What comes into view is a sand table the size of a ping pong table. The sand table is piled with yellow sand, decorated with rocks, dead wood and cacti, which looks like a microcosm of the desert at first glance.
Mu Zi thought it was an ornament at first.
The host introduced: "The man-eating ants, a variant of the desert army ants, have strong jaws and strict discipline. When encountering prey, they will form different attacking groups to cooperate and fight. The prey will be submerged in an instant during outflanking and siege. This time The auctioned colony contained 1 queen, 250,000 eggs, and over 1 million adults."
Then, the translator completely translated this passage in different languages.
In order to demonstrate the combat strength of this man-eating ant, the host's assistant put a cobra into the sand table.
Sensing that the territory had been invaded, the man-eating ants poured out, like a black tide, instantly enveloping the cobra airtight!
Mu Zi felt nauseous, and subconsciously closed her eyes. She really couldn't understand, what's the use of buying this kind of thing at home!
She heard someone whistling flirtatiously, and a woman's suppressed exclamation.
Murong Cheng whispered beside her: "Something is not good...Brother Stan is here too."
Mu Zi opened his eyes, the cobra had only a bloody skeleton left, and the snake skin was also in pieces.
She secretly inhaled, forced herself to divert her attention, and asked Murong Cheng: "Who is Brother Stan?"
Murong Cheng's expression was cold and solemn, and his tone was rare and serious: "They are three lunatics who like to play with women the most. After they get tired of playing with women, they have done all of these things before, such as dismembering corpses, skinning them, drinking blood and eating meat."
Mu Zi was horrified when he heard that, "Is there no one to care about it?"
"It can't be controlled, the Stan family has a mafia background and is very powerful." Murong Cheng frowned worriedly, "I hope they don't look at the brat, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Mu Zi followed his gaze and saw several young men in the front row laughing.
The light was very dim, and I couldn't see the facial features clearly. I just felt that he was a very ordinary dude. Who would have thought that he would behave in such a perverted way!
At this point, the auction for the second item had begun: an unusually tall and strong giant.
This is definitely an open trade in population.
Listening to the host's high bid, Mu Zi's mood became more and more impetuous, wishing to drag Tangtang in front of her and give her a bad meal!
How hard is it to think about it, to come to such a place? !
Gu Liang probably also felt this way.
He couldn't figure it out, why did Tangtang become an auction item? Even if she was kicked out of the house, she was not short of money to spend. Even if she threw away her luggage in a daze, didn't she pawn her wedding ring later? More than one million, spent so quickly, reduced to the point of prostitution?
While contemplating, he vaguely heard her voice.
At first, he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but after looking for the sound, Gu Liang found...it was really her.
