The Sabbath Chapter 185: Escape!
In the auction house, all the guests have arrived.
Each guest will be given a gorgeous mask before entering the venue. All the guests gladly took this mask and put it on their faces. Kind of like a masquerade party.
At the front desk, the auction has already started.
All the good products that were not easily released in the past have been released this time. Peize vowed to make this auction the last and the biggest auction.
In the background, one auction item after another is undergoing final inspection and decoration, trying to appear in front of the buyer in the most perfect state.
"Put him in that silver-white robe, the one with a lot of broken diamonds on it!"
"The temperament of this body is very gorgeous, it is very suitable for the kind of clothes that ordinary people dare not wear!"
The prison guards turned into staff shuttle back and forth, everyone seems to be busy, the busiest of them is the "makeup artist" in the center, who will soon appear on the auction stage It is their job to dress up the items beautifully and look more valuable.
Ronggui's original clothes were rejected by him first, and he took off the original clothes, and he asked someone to bring a gorgeous diamond-broken robe for Ronggui to change into.
The sparkling diamonds instantly lit up Ronggui's complexion, making every inch of his skin look crystal clear.
"The cheeks are too pale, he needs a little powder, um, just a little bit, his skin is already good, no need for additional modification."
"Wig? This black hair is not very pleasing to the eye at first, but after looking at it for a long time, it is unexpectedly attractive. It remains the same, but it can be dotted with some diamonds, which can make the black look more dynamic. "
"The lips are a bit pale, it would be better to use a diamond lip stud."
"What? Don't accept piercings? Then put diamonds on your lips."
The make-up artist is in charge of directing, and under his skillful hands, the charm of Ronggui's body is fully revealed! At the end, even the makeup artist who was decorating other auction items couldn't help but ran over to watch.
"It's so beautiful!" Everyone was shocked when they saw the final product!
The original plain short hair was torn into broken hair by the skillful hands of the makeup artist. Fit, it makes youth look fragile and beautiful.
Due to staying in the freezer for too long, the young man's figure, er, is almost no figure at all except for being thin. The original clothes are also good, but this good is based on the fact that the young man is really good-looking, On the basis that any clothes can be worn by him and his temperament can support any gorgeous clothes, the makeup artist simply gave him a dress that was so gorgeous that he couldn't find a suitable auction item for him. Put it on, sure enough, this clothes that ordinary people can't easily wear is very suitable for young people! The diamonds made him look more luxurious, and the tight and impeccable robe not only perfectly covered the young man's too thin figure, but also added a touch of abstinence to him.
Not only others, but even Ronggui himself was dumbfounded.
Once upon a time, he dreamed that one day he would have a professional makeup artist to help him with makeup, styling, wearing the most gorgeous costumes, and then stepping on the biggest stage. All the audience outside came for him, and he used a microphone When the first note is sung, the crazy fans may even faint from the excitement
Now, his dream seems to have come true. Indeed, a professional make-up artist has carefully dressed him up, and he is about to be pushed onto a huge stage, with a dark crowd on the opposite side of the stage.
However——
That stage is not a stage for performances, but an auction stage; the people outside are not his fans, but guests who come to bid for his body.
And he's not a singer either, just a poor, soon-to-be-auctioned item.
"I have a hunch that this body can fetch an astonishingly high price." The makeup artist in charge of Ronggui's body murmured.
"40 million, how about the reserve price?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to ask Ronggui for his opinion.
With a "wow", the makeup artists around all took a deep breath, it can be seen that the price is really very high.
Generally, for an auction item with a reserve price of 40 million, after the auction, the reserve price of the final transaction can reach hundreds of millions! This is a very high price!
The makeup artist said, he thought that Ronggui would definitely agree to this price, who knows——
Ronggui shook his head and refused.
"The qualification to go to Sky City or the equivalent currency to buy the qualification to go to Sky City. This is my reserve price. I will not sell it below this price."
"What? Do you really think that your body is some kind of rare item? It's amazing that an ordinary biological auction item can be auctioned at this price—" This time it was the turn of Ronggui's make-up artist to gasp. In one breath.
"The appearance is just an add-on, the real value of this body is the voice." Ronggui pinched his body with his hand.
When the body was in pain, Ronggui's body instinctively let out a scream.
The sound was fleeting, but it was enough for everyone present to hear.
"A gorgeous antique doll with an incredible voice." The makeup artist said, replacing the original definition with this line.
By the way, he originally defined Ronggui's body as "a gorgeous antique doll with a mysterious temperament".
"Well, the people who want to bid for you now are not only antique lovers, but also those big bosses who are eager to make stars."
"The entertainment industry in Sky City is extremely developed, there should be many rich people who will be interested in your body."
As he spoke, he updated all the introductions of Ronggui's body.
"But—" the makeup artist turned to look at Ronggui: "Does the owner of the body you auctioned have any deep hatred with you?"
"It's okay not to mention the sound. This body can probably be displayed as an antique in a rich man's home, or in an ancient museum, and it will be used as an exhibit peacefully until it is damaged."
"However, you mentioned the voice. In this way, if those big bosses in the entertainment industry photograph you, even if you declare in advance that you are not retail, the other party may try to study the body, and may It might even be destructive."
"This is my own body." Rong Gui pursed his lips and said after a long while, "It's okay, as long as it can be sold at the price I want."
His voice is not loud, just enough for the makeup artist to hear alone.
"Forget it." Turning his head abruptly, the makeup artist resumed his businesslike attitude.
"If it's today, maybe you can really sell it at the price you want. A few guests who usually don't come easily heard that this is the last auction, so they came here on purpose."
"If a few of them are interested in you, it's really not a problem to sell your ideal price."
"Have you decided? If you are sure, I will give this auction item away." After adding a line of words to the relevant introduction, the makeup artist asked Ronggui.
"Well, if the selling price can be higher, it would be even better if you can sell the Sky City qualification plus the money for a high-level freezer," Ronggui said in a low voice.
The make-up artist gave him a squinting look: "I'll make the decision. I happen to have a high-end freezer here that can be used to decorate auction items. As long as your body sells for the ideal price, I will sell that freezer." Here you are.”
"Ah, is this okay?" Rong Gui immediately looked at the other party.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I can get a commission for the money you sell yourself." The other party said straightforwardly.
After that, Ronggui became even calmer.
Nodding his head, he said softly, "Then, I've confirmed it, please put my body up for auction."
Ronggui said, placing his hands lightly on the back of Xiaomei who was bound and airtight.
There, near the shoulder blades, two bulges kept vibrating regularly, one by one, as if something was about to penetrate Xiaomei's flesh and blood
This is Xiaomei's time.
Xiaomei doesn't have much time.
"Do you want to stay here to watch the auction?" the makeup artist asked him again.
"If possible." Ronggui nodded.
"Come here, I know a good position." Waved to him, the make-up artist led him to slip to a more front position.
Sitting on a high prop box, Ronggui saw himself appearing on the "stage" with brilliance.
At the same time, he also heard gasps from countless audiences in the darkness after seeing him.
The entire auction house was boiling just because of his simple appearance.
It's not the same as the first stage as imagined, but it seems to be good
Ronggui thought to himself, putting one hand on his thigh, while the other lightly placed on Xiaomei's body.
This position is really good, almost directly behind his freezer, so that the reaction of the audience on the opposite side seems to be directed at him.
Ronggui imagined himself standing on the stage.
Then—
"The next auction item is a gorgeous antique doll with an incredible voice." The auctioneer ruthlessly read out his current state.
"The bloodline can be traced back as far as thousands of years ago. The unknown bloodline has been frozen in the freezer until now. It has been soaked in advanced nutrient solution, and the intracranial lesions have been removed."
"No splitting, no retail sales, the seller only accepts the whole purchase."
"Next is the time to display the auction items."
Then, Ronggui watched his body like an object, enlarged by the projection lamp, enlarged again, and presented on the screen in front of each audience.
Having participated in a similar auction with Purda, he knew how he would be treated.
There is no **, all the data are published in front of everyone, just like an item, it is an item.
But so what?
He is a 360-degree handsome man with no dead ends, and he is not afraid to look at him at all!
Facing everyone's rude scrutiny, Ronggui actually smiled.
The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and he smiled triumphantly.
"According to the rules of our auction, while introducing the advantages of the auction item, we will also inform the disadvantages of the auction item. It is up to the buyer to decide whether to buy it." Outside, the auctioneer continued to introduce.
"The internal organs of this auction item are too backward to be suitable for transplantation, and the brain volume is too small to be suitable for transplantation as a whole. Although it has an incredible voice, it is not suitable for external transplantation"
This is what the makeup artist added later. It doesn't sound very nice, and it seems that it will make his body unsellable, but in fact, these remarks increase the possibility of maintaining his body integrity. For this, Ronggui is grateful to him.
Then, he quietly listened to the auctioneer's introduction of his advantages.
Then, the auction begins——
"Reserve price, an occupancy qualification certificate leading to Sky City, or an equivalent sum of money!"
Lion opened his mouth to bid for the reserve price, and there was another hustle and bustle outside the venue.
"This price is too outrageous!"
"Are you kidding me?"
Ronggui immediately heard dissatisfied protests from buyers.
"Don't pay attention to them, those who say that are not buyers." Then, the makeup artist sitting beside him said softly.
Sure enough, soon——
"300 million general currency, to buy the occupancy certificate of Sky City, should this be enough?" In the darkness, Ronggui saw a sign light up from the front.
The non-existent heart seemed to be pounding, and he excitedly squeezed Xiaomei's hand through the bandage.
However, the thing that excited him was not over yet, and soon, another person raised a sign:
"400 million, 300 million is just the market price, it's still far away"
"450 million!" The person before him immediately raised his sign again.
"500 million." Still the second person.
When it comes to the auction of this kind of really high-priced items, the competitors are really very limited, but as long as someone is willing to bid, the sale will be successful!
Big black eyes lit up, Ronggui clenched his fists hard.
Then, he watched the only two bidders continue to compete with each other, and the price was raised higher and higher, and finally even reached a number that made the audience boil!
Until——
"In the last three seconds, may I ask if someone has offered a higher price? If not, 3, 2, 1—" before the hammer in the auctioneer's hand was about to fall.
Another voice came from the auditorium: "A sky city access qualification certificate, plus fifty million common coins."
As soon as these words were uttered, the originally boiling auction scene suddenly fell silent.
There are many people who can afford the money to buy the qualification certificate, but there are not many people who can directly give an access qualification certificate.
Even the auctioneer was stunned, and the next second, he started to count again.
"Is there anyone who offers a higher price? If not, 3, 2, 1——"
This time, no one stood in the way, and the small hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell steadily.
I got it—Ronggui said loudly to himself in his heart, and then:
"The other person who handed over the items is here." The voice of the makeup artist whispered in his ear, and under his signal, Ronggui saw a man in a silver-white robe walking towards him, and immediately, he Seeing that his freezer was also pushed over.
The other party rummaged through his body as if inspecting the goods, and finally nodded.
"Okay, the freezer can be closed now, do you want to close it yourself or we can help you?" Ronggui continued to hear the voice of the makeup artist.
However, at this moment, he felt that he could not see the figure of the other party.
The surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and everything became unreal.
The surrounding sounds also became unreal.
"I'll do it myself." Rong Gui heard himself saying.
Then, he saw his mechanical hand lightly touched himself in the freezer, gliding through his hair for the last time, tidying up the messy collar for himself for the last time, and he was careful for the last time After tidying himself up neatly, he finally closed the lid of the freezer compartment gently.
"Okay." He heard his own voice.
Then, the man opposite handed him a card and a small round card.
This is what I dreamed of——
Ronggui took the thing stiffly, holding it tightly, he held it tightly.
Then, he looked at the man who handed these things to him, and then began to move the freezer that contained his body.
Realizing that this might be the last chance for him to see his body, Ronggui's eyes never leave his body for a moment.
At the same time, he meditated in his heart:
Ah Fu, my body has been healed. Thank you for buying me the waiting time.
Thank you for taking the time for me to meet Xiaomei.
However, I am giving up my body now.
But it doesn't matter, I have a very good mechanical body, the mechanical body that Xiaomei made for me!
It is precisely because I know that as long as there is a chance to wait, everything may be hopeful, so this time, no matter what, I also want to buy Xiaomei some time to wait.
Even if it is only fifteen days? Even if it's less than fifteen days, how about only ten days?
Maybe, in those ten days, Xiaomei was just like me at that time, waiting for another Xiaomei!
Any waiting will never be pointless.
Even now, I need to get rid of this body.
But, I really want Xiaomei to have time to wait!
You must have thought so at the time, right?
Looking at his body hard like this, Ronggui watched his body being handed over.
Then—
"Okay, are you rich now? Transfer me 30 million, and I'll give you the high-end freezer in my hand at the average market price." The makeup artist spoke again.
"Okay." Looking away, Ronggui quickly took out the pass, and connected it with the card that the makeup artist took out, and he swiped a huge amount that he had never swiped before to the other party.
"This high-end freezer is yours." The other party was very straightforward, and at the same time as confirming the payment, he pushed the freezer that he had taken out a long time ago to Ronggui, and even found that Ronggui was not strong enough, not enough When he picked up Xiaomei and carried Xiaomei's body into the freezer, he also took the initiative to come over to help.
However, just as Xiaomei's body was put into the freezer, there was a commotion outside.
"What's going on here?"
The opponent's rather tall body fell down without warning.
"Warning! Toxic gas! Warning! Toxic gas!" At the same time, the siren in Ronggui's body sounded frantically.
Looking at the panicked crowd around, the masked guests fell into a frantic escape, while the unmasked guards fell down one after another, Ronggui stood up and stood blankly for a while, and then, very quickly, He poured a whispering weed and a bag of fertilizer on the makeup artist, and he himself covered the freezer.
Struggling, Ronggui dragged Xiaomei to escape outside the auction venue——
