Two million, this is the current price of the photo album left by the last Tsar. The auction item quickly reached twice the lowest auction price, which surprised many people. Perhaps due to the atmosphere, many people were still waiting and watching.

The guests also raised signs one after another.

"Two million four hundred and fifty thousand." Her face remained calm. After the colleague who was the translator next to her finished quoting the price, Christina put down her No. 7 brand. After the price was quoted, she was relieved.

Although she was born in an upper-class society, she had never seen people spend money lavishly, but it was still unimaginable for her who came from an honest family to shout out so much money in one breath. If she had not undergone facial expression training at the academy,

You might be a little restless now, right?

She couldn't help but hold the hand hidden under the seat, and her carefully decorated nails pierced her palm. She smiled without trace, as if sarcastically. Like this, most ordinary families have spent their entire lives on wealth that they may not be able to obtain.

You may not even be able to get a ticket here. And she actually wanted to pull such a person off the stage. Even she herself felt that her behavior was a bit too funny.

The auction is still going on, and the price of 2.45 million has made many people hesitate again. Seeing this scene, the people at Christina's table breathed a sigh of relief, and spent nearly more than 100,000 yuan at one time.

One-tenth of the funds, which made them a little embarrassed.

But they all know that this is just the beginning, and the price of the "official" auction items that are still to come will only be higher than the current one! This is also the reason why they did not express it specifically in the front.

"Two million and a half million dollars a time!" the auctioneer shouted for the first time. He looked around the hall, especially at the VIPs on the second floor, hoping that someone there could beat this price again.

But no one in the audience answered. Even No. 23, who had suddenly become rich before, did not continue to bid at the signal of his female companion. The VIP who seemed to be interested in this auction item also fell completely silent.

.

The auctioneer was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface. He still shouted happily for the second time. But just when he was about to shout for the third time, in an inconspicuous corner at the end of the hall, someone raised his hand.

brand.

】

"Two and a half million."

Two hundred and fifty, this number is somewhat of a curse word in China. Although most people at the scene may think that he did it unintentionally, after all, the minimum price increase requirement is there, there is no shortage of people who think that he did it on purpose.

Christina turned around in disbelief, and saw Lu Mingfei behind her making an apologetic gesture to her. To outsiders, this seemed like an apology after ruthlessly taking away love, but here was

Auction is a place where money speaks for itself.

Rather than deliberately disrupting the situation, Christina was more willing to believe that he was really interested in the auction item. After exchanging glances with her equally surprised colleagues, they decided to abandon the auction item. Their destination

It's just a ticket, no need to fight.

"The gentleman on the 17th bids 2.5 million. Is there any higher price?" the auctioneer shouted for the first time. There was still a lot of discussion in the audience, but no one continued to shout. Many people even thought that this was nothing before.

The young man behaved in a procrastinating manner and made a point of shouting out words during the cold moments.

"Two million five hundred and fifty thousand."

When the auctioneer called for the second time, someone continued to bid. The bidder was an elderly man who had just put down the phone and seemed to have raised funds. He looked more like a university professor than a wealthy businessman.

Perhaps he was specifically looking for something unknown this time, and this photo album met his requirements.

"Two million six hundred and fifty thousand." Lu Mingfei continued to raise the sign, and this time the price jumped to one hundred thousand, which attracted Su Xiaoqiang's sideways glances.

Against the eyes of others looking here, she quietly came over and whispered: "If you bid like this, Uncle Lu and the others won't say anything?"

Lu Mingfei came here to replace Lu's father and Lu's mother. He had told Su Xiaoqiang before. It is not surprising that archaeologists would be interested in some cultural relics and spend a lot of money to buy them. Based on their archeology

His identity and his mysterious style make it easy for people to accept this statement.

At least, Su Xiaoqiang believed it.

"No problem, 2.8 million." Lu Mingfei replied smoothly, and quoted another price, which was directly increased by 100,000 on top of the other party's quotation.

The other party hesitated a little, and took out the phone while the auctioneer was shouting. He said something excitedly to the other party. But no matter what he said, his face was red and the sky was full of excitement, and the person opposite who looked like an investor still did not increase the funds.

"Two million and eight hundred thousand for the third time! Congratulations to the buyer No. 17!" The auctioneer dropped the hammer with some regret. He originally thought that the situation would be more intense.

Lu Mingfei also took back the brand with some regret. He also thought that someone would come out to stage a drama of doubling the price in the future. His accounting maid was already eager to give it to his princess.

A belated Children's Day gift. Although no matter which side the photo was taken, it cost her the money she earned, but this does not prevent her from showing others that she is not short of money.

Backstage in the hall, Boss Lin, who had disappeared for some time, silently watched the situation in the front hall. His gray eyes stared at the lively people, not knowing what they were thinking.

Unlike the bustling interior of the resort, the North Canal outside was extremely quiet. Under the rising moonlight, only a few fishing boats passed by, casting curious glances at the brightly lit manor.

Go away slowly.

On the side of the manor, on the pier full of luxury speedboats, the security guard on the pier yawned widely, and with some boredom, he and his companions continued to patrol the pier with their flashlights.

Even those wealthy businessmen who may be worth hundreds of millions have left people to look after their yachts, but as the organizer's security personnel, their routine inspections are indispensable.

In groups of three, the security personnel with flashlights carefully inspected. The people who yawned before also cheered up and completed the inspection task seriously. Although their boss was a little obsessed with money, the salary he paid them was quite high.

If he lost this job that paid far more than his peers because of a trivial matter, he might as well have jumped into the North Canal and drowned.

There was a reflection of the moon on the river, which made people dazzled. There seemed to be something on the water that was swaying along with it.

The person who discovered this signaled to his companions and approached there with some vigilance. After a while, he reluctantly picked up a plastic drink bottle from the water. This might be a passing ship or a luxury yacht.

Thrown away by unscrupulous people.

Throwing the garbage into a trash can, the security personnel patrolled and walked towards the next location. After they left, the calm river surface rippled, and a head gently poked out from inside. After that, one after another

Some people stuck their heads out.

…

Chu Zihang quietly hid in a corner. Just now, a subway passed by him and slowly entered the station with its horn turned on. He nestled behind and observed silently. No one came out of the open door of the subway. The subway in front of him

Naturally, there was no one on the platform where the train was parked.

However, this did not prevent it from continuing to run. After waiting for a while after the seemingly empty subway, Chu Zihang silently walked out of the hiding place. The bright and familiar platform was very close, but

He was a little hesitant. The reason was very simple. This place was a little different from the Nibelung he knew before.

Everything here cannot be said to be similar to the Nibelungen he has experienced before, it can only be said to be exactly the same. But there is an inexplicable intuition and some details of the lake telling him that if he continues to move forward, what he sees may not be the same.

Something he wanted to see.

But he didn't hesitate for too long. He checked his equipment, prepared for battle, and stepped forward quietly.

The lights were getting closer and closer, and the snack packaging bags he had seen before gradually appeared around him. But something was different. The styles of these packaging bags were somewhat novel, and they were different from the ones on the platform he had been to before that had disappeared.

The old-fashioned packaging was different for a while. Because some people in the team often brought snacks a while ago, he remembered this very clearly.

An empty bag of potato chips rolled in front of him, causing him to stop temporarily. He could clearly feel that there was no wind in the tunnel, and it was still eerily quiet. He couldn't let it go at all.

These fluttery little things move.

Then the answer is very simple, it was thrown down by someone. And the other party didn't hide it at all, and just jumped out openly with the intention of giving him a try quietly.

"Senior brother, you are here, would you like a bag of potato chips? Cucumber flavor, I highly recommend you try it."

Xia Mi, who was wearing a hospital gown and looked like... no, definitely sneaked away from the ward, greeted him with a small snack that she also secretly bought. Her energetic state was as it had been a few days ago.

.

…

"Once in 10 million!" The auctioneer, who had just been disappointed for a long time, felt that today must be his lucky day. The price of tens of millions of dollars appeared at the auction he led. This would undoubtedly make him dream for several nights in a row.

Everyone will wake up laughing.

The item currently being auctioned is the last item in the auction, and it also comes from modern times. It is also closely related to the photo album of the last Tsar's family that caused a stir.

This is a metal cross pendant. It is different from ordinary crosses. There are two more horizontal lines on the upper and lower ends of this cross. The upper horizontal line is shorter and parallel to the horizontal line of the cross. The lower one is longer, but

It's crooked.

This is the cross style commonly used by the Russian Orthodox Church. It does not seem strange to appear in the cultural relics of the Romanov dynasty. On the contrary, this style of cross is a bit too simple and over-the-top. Compared with the gorgeous jewelry that appeared at the same auction, it looks a little strange.

Out of place.

But this cannot conceal people's admiration for it, which has pushed it to a height of tens of millions of dollars. And the price continues to increase until now.

There is no other reason for this, because this is the cross once used by Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin, the evil monk who caused chaos in the Tsar's court.

There are so many legends about the monster Rasputin. Probably the most attractive among them is his relationship with various ladies and ladies from the upper class of St. Petersburg at that time, and even noble people in the palace.

of rumors.

Legend has it that his blue eyes have a magical power that makes women unable to get rid of them. Because of this, countless Russian girls suffered. And through this ability, he became friends with Nicholas II's family.

, his relationship was so close that there were even rumors that he controlled the Tsar's family.

It is currently impossible to verify whether these rumors are true. However, Kassel College also has its own explanation as to the identity of Laspus.

There is no doubt that Rasputin is a hybrid. He is also a powerful hybrid with an extremely strong bloodline. He has been assassinated many times, survived four shots, and potassium cyanide in his diet is useless. Even if he is seriously injured, he can still act normally.

Although hypnotic speech spirits are not very common, if their holders have bad intentions, the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous. Rasputin used his abilities to act recklessly and became the last force to overwhelm the Romanov dynasty.

Straw. Masashi Toyama became a doctor and paid attention to the mental health of thousands of teachers and students of Kassel College.

But regardless of these things, the hall became frantic, and it could even be said that it was an out-of-control scene, which made Lu Mingfei feel funny. The reason why they would pursue a "holy object" so much is not incomprehensible if you think about it, but in

He still looked a little funny.

Rasputin, who has many titles such as traitor, liar, and thief, is not a true saint. But he is such a person, but he carries a simple and excessive cross, and is properly kept by the Tsarist family.

It even escaped subsequent collection, which itself seems very suspicious.

So after the auctioneer said that the cross might be related to hypnosis, healing, prophecy, immortality and other abilities that Rasputin had displayed, the atmosphere at the scene became feverish.

The bidders didn't even think about it. If those abilities were really related to this cross, why did they have to wait until now to be taken out? Maybe they all thought that they were the ones caught up in fate. After all,

There is no shortage of superstitious people in any country.

"Perhaps it's because of the unknown dream that wandering people chase phantoms..." In the hall, which was getting a little agitated, Mai Shutoku sang a cappella in a low voice. She looked at the red-faced owner of No. 23 who was participating in the bidding in the middle of the hall.

, eyes full of pity.

She shook her head slightly, looked at the cross on the auction stand, and her expression changed to mocking: "A drowning person will always subconsciously grab the thing around him, hoping that the thing can save his life, but what he is grabbing now

That one isn’t even considered a waterweed.”
