Chapter 464 "Taping" Gently Repeatedly
"It's terrible." Xu Jia commented.
His footsteps are not slow, so he walked a long way in a short time.
The light in front of my eyes became more and more cloudy, and I couldn't see what was in front of me clearly.
But his expression was fearless, and he still took big strides, his posture looked as if he had been familiar with this road for a long time.
The house is much larger than it looks from the outside, and the corridor has no end in sight, so it is impossible to judge how long it will take.
It wasn't until there was no light at all in front of him, almost to the point where he couldn't see his fingers, that Xu Jia finally stopped.
He hesitantly raised his right hand, and carefully touched the concrete wall on the right.
The rough, cold and damp cement made him feel uncomfortable.
But he just frowned somewhat repellently, and didn't take his hand away.
The steps forward began to become smaller, his eyes widened in the darkness, he put his palms on the wall, and quickly groped up and down.
If he felt something abrupt on the wall, he would press it hard twice.
In this way, he walked forward for about 1 minute, and suddenly touched a very round hemisphere.
This hemisphere is very abrupt, and the surface is also very smooth, which is completely different from the cement wall.
Xu Jia felt excited, he held his breath, rubbed the bump with his palm, and then pressed down hard.
Swish!Suddenly, the eyes are bright.
He closed his eyes subconsciously, but he still couldn't stop the eyeballs from being stimulated, and tears filled his eyes.
"Ah, you didn't tell me such a thing!" Xu Jia complained angrily loudly, but her voice still echoed.
He rubbed his eyes and turned his head to look at the way he came, only to find that it was actually a downhill road.
And the end of the road when I came, I can't see it for a long time.
He turned his head and saw that there was about five meters away in front of him, and there was an iron door with mottled rust on the surface.
The door does not seem to have any locks, and the ordinary ones have no protection.
Xu Jia couldn't help raising his head, looked around, and finally looked at the iron gate in front of him: "That's what Mr. Mo said?"
Mo Yiyou stepped into the room, stepped on the silent carpet, and sat lightly on the single sofa in the corner.
From this location, you can clearly see everything in the room.
At the moment, in the center of the room, there were five rows of benches, which were then divided into two rows, and some people with different costumes were sitting here and there.
At the very front of the room is a platform fifty centimeters above the ground.
On the far left side of the platform, there is a tall podium with a common small mallet made of pear blossom wood.
There is no decoration in the room, it looks like a rough room that has not been renovated.
All the people were busy on their own, never noticing that someone was watching in the corner.
Mo Yiyou looked at it for a while and felt a little tired.
She lowered her head to tidy up, tied the red bow around her waist with a rope, then half-raised her chin, and looked around lazily.
The twins, who were wearing overalls and striped T-shirts, suddenly jumped up in front of her to cover their eyes, and said in unison: "Miss, everything is ready."
"Then let's get started." Mo Yiyou raised his head, and smiled at the two silly faces in front of him: "Hey, sit on the side and don't disturb me."
The twins looked at each other with a disturbed expression.
But soon, they chose to bow and salute, and left quickly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the auction held by the Xingding Entertainment venue!"
The host standing on the podium, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a well-fitting black suit, looked serious and professional.
Wielding a small mallet made of pear blossom wood in his hand, he tapped lightly on the edge of the table twice: "Please be quiet."
After he finished speaking, he scanned the audience and found that only about 50 people could sit on the bench originally intended to hold [-] people.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked at Mo Yiyou who was sitting in the corner with pleading eyes, as if he was looking for some response.
Mo Yiyou smiled, still resting his chin lazily, and nodded slightly.
As if the host was granted amnesty, he secretly swallowed a breath, pretending to be inadvertent and wiped the cold sweat off his head.
Then he raised the gavel again: "Before the auction starts, please memorize the transaction rules by heart, and don't disrupt the order for any reason."
The people in the audience all looked at him expressionlessly, occasionally a few of them would show a flash of impatience on their faces.
"Everyone is a regular customer and knows very well how Xingding handles violations, so..." The host suddenly showed a cunning face: "This is also for everyone to be safe."
The expressions of the crowd in the audience finally loosened a bit, but their faces were still blank, and they were reluctant to give any more reactions.
"Today's auction has five items, a total of twelve items." The host said with a smile: "Eight items are foreign items, and Xingding supplies four items internally."
"What about ghosts? Just this little thing, it's worth our special trip?" There was a sudden complaint from the audience.
The host didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction, but looked at the man who shouted, pretending to be serious: "Then, please come back, Mr. Wang."
"You..." The man called Mr. Wang didn't expect to be answered like this, and he was even more annoyed: "I'm a regular customer of Xingding."
Mo Yiyou, who was sitting in the corner, closed his eyes half-closed after hearing this, as if he was hiding some emotion.
"Whether you are a regular customer or not, Xingding will decide." The host did not show courtesy: "You can leave now."
"You guys are so rude! Aren't you afraid that Missy will know?" Mr. Wang looked a little smug: "I'm Missy's old friend!"
When the host heard this, he looked towards the corner in surprise.
Mo Yiyou didn't speak, just laughed lightly.
The laughter was nothing special, but it made the backs of the people with their backs facing the corner stiff.
Especially Mr. Wang, who was full of complacency just now, is even ashamed now.
Time stood still for a few seconds, and then everyone turned to look around the corner.
After seeing Mo Yiyou's smiling face clearly, there was a clear sound of swallowing saliva in the room.
Mo Yiyou looked at the twins standing at the door with a lazy profile.
The twins walked forward knowingly and quickly, their expressions a little excited.
The little white hand holding the chin gently raised the little finger at this moment, and then returned it to its original position.
Just like that, Mo Yiyou repeatedly "tapped" his cheek twice.
The twins nodded at the same time, and strode towards the panic-stricken Mr. Wang.
Two minutes later, the host looked at the room where there was only one person missing, sighed inwardly, and then raised the weak gavel.
"Then, the auction will officially begin... huh?" He raised his gavel but failed to fall, but was suspended in mid-air.
This was not caused by external forces, but that he saw something that surprised him.
There was an uproar at the scene, and Mo Yiyou couldn't help squinting slightly, looking sideways at where the host's gaze fell.
Then, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she was covered with a smile.
"This is it?" Xu Jia stood at the door, panting slightly.
Even though his temper is often the same as that of a naughty boy, he has to admit that he is indeed getting old.
Poor him pushed open the tattered iron gate and found an upward stone ladder, and had to resign himself to his fate and climb up exhaustingly.
"Sorry, sir." Seeing that he wanted to enter, the host hastily stopped him: "This is a private area, you cannot come in."
"Ah, I was invited." Xu Jia waved his hand and stepped into the door ignoring the obstruction.
The twins hurriedly lay across in front of him, raising their hands to hug him and throw him out.
"Wait." Mo Yiyou sat upright, and said with a smile, "Sir, you are late."
"What does that matter?" Xu Jia looked at the twins in front of him, and replied fearlessly: "It's a coincidence that it's better to come early, isn't this just the beginning?"
The host held the gavel tightly in his hand, looking very disturbed: "Sir, please come back..."
"That's what you said, please come in." Mo Yiyou interrupted the host and continued with a smile.
All the people present were surprised, especially those sitting on the bench, they all looked at Xu Jia appreciatively and enviously.
Without the obstruction of the twins, Xu Jia looked around unscrupulously, and chose to sit in the last row where no one was around.
The smile on Mo Yiyou's face deepened, she stood up, moved lightly to Xu Jia's side, and sat down steadily.
Xu Jia's reaction was to look at her for two seconds, then turned to look at other things.
"Mr. Xu." Mo Yiyou said calmly, "Not everyone can participate in this auction."
"I know." Xu Jia looked up at the ceiling, as if she had expected her to say this: "I'm here on behalf of someone else."
The corners of Mo Yiyou's mouth turned up sharply, and his eyes were also very bright.
"You know my last name." Xu Jia shifted his gaze to the high platform at the front: "That means you know who I am."
Mo Yiyou did not speak, quietly waiting for the next sentence.
"What a coincidence, I also know your identity." Xu Jia still didn't glance at her: "I just happened to hear some things about Xingding."
"Then you should also know." Mo Yiyou put his hands on his thighs and straightened them naturally: "You may not be able to get the things here if you have money."
"I won the bid," Xu Jia said with an unmoved expression, "Maybe you will pay the bill for me."
Mo Yiyou's expression was rarely confused: "Oh?"
Her eyes moved down, and she saw Xu Jia's hand casually placed by her side, which was obviously covered with red rust.
The smile that had been on the corner of his mouth disappeared for a moment.
She raised her eyes and asked seriously, "Who is the person you came here in place of?"
"Who else could it be? Missy." A thick voice mixed with laziness sounded from behind.
Mo Yiyou's eyes instantly became vigilant.
But she quickly closed her eyes, and opened them again in two seconds, her eyes were already clear.
