There are thousands of different ways to die in this world, but do you know which one is the most horrific?
I know……
Because at this moment, I saw it with my own eyes.
Gululu...
A black shadow rolled to my feet. Although the surrounding lights were dim and gloomy at the moment, I could still clearly see what it was.
That's the head of my colleague Jiang Kai...
Just a few hours ago, this big man from the Northeast was chatting and laughing with me, and agreed that when he got back, he would go to the barbecue stall where we often went to have a good meal. But now, his head was full of fear.
Under my feet, a red ribbon stained by blood was left on the ground.
Looking at Jiang Kai's open-mouthed face with a dead look on his face, I first felt a cool breeze blowing on the back of my neck and sweat on my forehead. Then, I felt a nauseating feeling from my stomach straight into my throat.
However, at this time, that feeling suddenly stuck in my neck. I wanted to move, but my body couldn't move at all.
I saw that just a few meters in front of me, the black figure who killed Jiang Kai had turned around and was staring at me in the darkness...
Could it be that it will be my turn next?
If I had known this earlier, I should not have joined this trip to Hong Kong!
Now, everything is too late.
In my wild thoughts, my mind went back to three days ago, the beginning of all this...
…
My surname is Lin and my given name is Sijiu. I have just turned 21 this year and I am working hard at a well-known Sino-foreign joint venture auction house in Donghai.
Working at an auction house, doesn’t it sound very classy?
But in fact, I am just a small security guard in the security team of the auction house. My daily job is to look after the auction items prepared for auction, or to temporarily escort the auction items.
According to the auction house's procedures, the authenticity of the lot must be confirmed before accepting the consignment. After all, this is related to the reputation of the auction house. If the lot is confirmed to be genuine, the next step is to send the lot from the consignor to the auction house.
Conduct an auction.
There are two types of escort work during the period when the auction items are delivered to the auction house. One is for the client to deliver the items to the auction house themselves, and the other is for our auction house to provide escorts ourselves. Of course, a certain fee will be charged.
.
The latter kind of escort work is what I occasionally do guest roles on.
That day, Wang Daquan, the captain of the security team, suddenly came to me and said that the auction house had received another big commission. He said that a priceless item was going to be sent to us for auction. The other party designated our auction house to be responsible for escorting it.
, so I need to find a few people to go to Hong Kong and ask me if I want to go?
Because it is a trip for the company, if you go, the company will be responsible for the air tickets, food and accommodation.
Although I am on a business trip, I may have to return the same day I arrive in Hong Kong, but for me, a little security guard who stays at the auction house every day, being able to take a flight and see the scenery of Hong Kong for nothing is already a drop from the sky.
It was a good thing. I naturally agreed immediately.
Before departure, Wang Daquan called all the security team members who were going to Hong Kong this time together and explained the deployment and goals of the operation.
Wang Daquan sent everyone a photo. In the photo was a Buddha statue as tall as a person.
"The item we are going to pick up this time is a Buddha statue from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. According to the old rules, the auction house needs someone to identify the authenticity of the Buddha statue. The person who went this time is Manager Lei. Once he confirms the Buddha statue,
Once it is authentic, we will immediately send it back to the East China Sea."
Manager Lei?
I was stunned for a moment. The Manager Lei mentioned by Wang Daquan is the big boss of our auction house, and the boss of my immediate boss. How could such a big shot do such a trivial matter as appraising the auction items himself?
I hesitated for a moment and felt that I shouldn’t ask anything, so I lowered my head and looked at the photo.
The photo shows an upright Buddha statue, which looks much shabby compared to the Ming Dynasty Buddha statues I have seen in the past. I remember that the auction house also auctioned several Ming Dynasty Buddha statues before, and those Buddha statues, without exception, looked shabby on the surface.
The gilding process is used. However, the surface of the Buddha statue in the photo is black and green, and it looks like an ordinary bronze Buddha statue. Moreover, the Buddha statue seems to have been damaged, and only the eyeballs are left.
Next is a pair of large black holes.
I couldn't help but ask: "Captain Wang, are you sure this is the Buddha statue? It's actually a blind Buddha statue!"
"What are you talking about? What about the blind Buddha statue? It's because the eyes of the Buddha are missing! I heard that when the Buddha statue was lost overseas, the eyes of the Buddha fell in China. After so many years, now
It falls into the hands of our manager Lei. This time when manager Lei goes to Hong Kong, he will bring the pair of Buddha eyes to confirm the authenticity of the Buddha statue. Therefore, in addition to going to Hong Kong to transport the treasure back, our operation this time also needs to ensure that Lei
The manager’s Buddha’s eyes are infallible.”
No wonder, now I understood that the emotional lot had something to do with Manager Lei. No wonder he would personally take care of this commission.
After Wang Daquan finished speaking, he began to assign tasks.
My Captain Wang is nearly fifty years old this year. However, despite his age, he seems to be somewhat unsuitable for security work. But before he came to the auction house, he was a special forces soldier in the army and was Manager Lei.
He spent a lot of money to hire him after he retired, so the troops were arranged in a clear and logical manner, and everyone's tasks were assigned in a short time.
There are eight members of the security team who went to Hong Kong with Manager Lei this time. Except for Team Wang and another senior member who need to protect Manager Lei personally, I and the other six people only need to confirm that the Buddha statue is safe and sound.
It'll be fine as long as things come back.
This is my first time flying in my whole life.
Although I can't sit in first class with Manager Lei like Team Wang, for me, just the experience of flying is enough to make me excited.
However, when I got on the plane, I regretted it because it was my first plane trip and I actually got airsick!
Soon after the plane took off, I occupied the toilet of the plane and vomited incessantly. I vomited until even the royal team was alarmed and ran over to me from the first class cabin to ask if it was okay. Then I came out of the toilet and sat down paralyzed.
I fell asleep on the seat and slept until Hong Kong, when I finally regained my composure.
But when I fell asleep, I didn't know why, but I had an extremely weird dream.
In the dream, I couldn't see anything, but I only saw a Buddha statue. At first, the Buddha statue had its back to me, but then it started to move. It slowly turned its head, which shocked me.
!
Because there are no eyeballs in the eye sockets of this Buddha statue! There are just two big holes with bloody flesh, and two lines of blood are slowly flowing down from the holes...
"Four-nine! Are you still sleeping? We've arrived! Get off the plane quickly!"
At this moment, the captain's low shout pulled me back from my sleep.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Captain Wang standing in front of me, looking like he hated the iron.
"You guy, everyone has gotten off the plane, but you can't wake me up no matter how you scream!"
"ah?"
When I came back to my senses, I realized that there were indeed no people on the seats around me. Except for Wang Daquan, there were only a few flight attendants in the cabin still looking at me with worried eyes.
A pretty flight attendant bent over and asked me if I was okay and if I was sick.
I quickly stood up and packed my things. While apologizing to the flight attendants and saying that I was fine, I lowered my head and left the plane with Wang Daquan.
On the way out, Wang Daquan kept scolding me, but I didn't dare to talk back, so I could only lower my head and admit my mistake.
Although I am only twenty-one years old, I have actually been in the security team for three years. I have a good relationship with other colleagues, but this guy Wang Daquan always targets me.
Working as a security guard in our auction house requires certain military skills. However, after I graduated from high school, I joined the security team directly. I didn’t have any military skills. Therefore, in my spare time, Wang Daquan would also conduct additional training on me.
Military training.
During training, if there is even the slightest mistake, Wang Daquan will give me a stick. Therefore, in the entire company, the person I fear most is Wang Daquan.
But I also know that Wang Daquan is not targeting me because he hates me, but because compared to others, I am the only one who is far worse in terms of physical fitness and business experience. In order to prevent me from becoming a burden to others, he is so aggressive.
My son, train me.
Just like that, the two of us left the airport and met other people who had been waiting outside for a long time.
Before I even got close, I saw the protagonist of this trip to Hong Kong, my big boss, Manager Lei.
Manager Lei looks to be in his forties, with a standard Chinese hairstyle, which is parted in the middle. His small eyes are always narrowed, giving people the impression of being old and cunning.
But don't look at him like this, Manager Lei is my benefactor.
When I graduated from high school, I did not choose to take the college entrance examination because of my family background. Instead, I came to Donghai to work. I unexpectedly got my current job because of Manager Lei.
When I first arrived in Donghai, I saw a thief committing a crime. I was young and energetic at that time (of course I am still the same now), so I stopped the thief without thinking much and snatched back a wallet.
Coincidentally, the owner of that wallet is now Manager Lei in front of me. Because of this incident, Manager Lei favored me. After knowing that I was looking for a job, he let me join the security team.
Therefore, he should be regarded as my Bole.
Seeing the two of us coming from a distance, Manager Lei coughed and signaled everyone to be quiet.
At this time, I discovered that there was a stranger standing next to Manager Lei, a beautiful woman. She had beautiful long hair and a tall figure, especially she was wearing a tight short skirt, revealing a pair of beautiful breasts.
Big white legs.
At this time, the woman also saw me and turned to look at me, allowing me to see her appearance clearly.
He has an oval face, a pointed chin, excellent facial features, and delicate features, even a big star can only do that.
Who is she? I was a little surprised. I didn’t see this beauty when I got on the plane. Could it be that the client sent her to receive her?
I was wondering in my heart, but Manager Lei had already said it.
"Well, the client will send someone to pick us up soon. Before they arrive, I will introduce someone to you first."
With that said, he formally introduced the beautiful woman next to him to us.
This beauty’s name is Lin Qianyi. Although she looks young, she is already an associate professor at a university. According to Manager Lei’s introduction, Lin Qianyi is an expert in Ming Dynasty cultural relics, especially Ming Dynasty Buddhist statues. This time she was attracted by him
I came here just to confirm the authenticity of the auction item. Although I already had something on hand that could identify the Buddha statue, Manager Lei was still worried, so he spent a lot of money to invite this beautiful Lin over.
Darling... I sighed secretly in my heart. When I was drinking and chatting with several colleagues, I heard them say that a woman's IQ is inversely proportional to her appearance, but now this beauty Lin has overturned all their words at once.
Not only is she a professor in the university, she also looks like a celebrity. To use the words popular on the Internet today, she is simply a goddess!
Apart from me, several other team members also started discussing in a buzzing manner, seemingly surprised by the huge contrast between Lin Qianyi's identity and appearance.
Wang Daquan couldn't stand our undisciplined reaction, so he immediately coughed heavily and pulled the souls of several of us back.
Fortunately, our reaction seemed normal to Manager Lei, so he didn’t blame us too much. After the introduction, he took us to the waiting area outside the airport. According to what he said, the customer’s car would arrive soon.
Pick us up.
Although it is already past midnight, Manager Lei is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he has made an agreement with the customer in advance that he will go directly to his place after getting off the plane to appraise the lot first.
Sure enough, as Manager Lei said, after waiting outside the airport for a while, two Mercedes-Benz cars parked in front of us one after another, one sedan and one commercial vehicle.
A middle-aged man with a big belly got out of the car. As soon as Manager Lei saw him, he immediately greeted him warmly.
"Boss Li, why are you here in person? It's so late at night, I'm really sorry."
It turns out that this big belly is our customer this time, Boss Li. Boss Li is said to be a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong, and he is also a well-known and well-known figure in Hong Kong. He will come to greet us in person, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this transaction.
After watching the two of them chatting for a while from a distance, I saw Manager Lei first escorting Boss Li to the car, then walking up to Wang Daquan and stuffing the black suitcase he had been carrying into his hand.
"Wang Daquan, I will take Boss Li's car in a moment, and you will keep the things first. You and the other brothers will make the business car together."
"Yes!" Wang Daquan took the suitcase and immediately took out a pair of handcuffs and handcuffed them to the suitcase and his own right hand.
Seeing his serious look, Manager Lei nodded with satisfaction and turned to Lin Qianyi.
"Ms. Lin, will you work with me on Boss Li's car?"
I looked at the Mercedes-Benz car. In addition to the driver and Boss Li, there was already someone sitting in the passenger seat. He was probably Boss Li's bodyguard or secretary. If Lin Qianyi was also riding in that car,
If so, wouldn't it mean that we would be crowded together with Manager Lei and the others?
Sure enough, Lin Qianyi shook her head and refused, saying that she wanted to sit in the commercial car at the back with us security guards.
I saw some disappointment on Manager Lei's face, but he didn't force it. Suddenly, I noticed that he turned his eyes towards me. I felt a little guilty, so I quickly patted the teammate next to me named Jiang Kai and pretended to speak.
But at this time, I heard Manager Lei calling my name.
"Xiao Lin, come here!"
I lowered my head and walked over with a guilty conscience, only to realize that Manager Lei actually wanted me to take care of Lin Qianyi on the road.
"Ms. Lin, Xiao Lin is the youngest among us and has the same surname as you. This time in Hong Kong, I will ask him to take care of you throughout the whole process. If you need anything, you can just go to him directly."
"Okay." Lin Qianyi did not refuse this time. She turned around and stretched out her hand to me, "I am Lin Qianyi. This little brother, I will trouble you this time."
"No... no trouble, my name is Lin Sijiu. Miss Lin can just call me Sijiu from now on."
I held Lin Qianyi's hand and said this, but I was panicking in my heart. Although this was not my first contact with the opposite sex, it was still the first time I had "skin-to-skin contact" with such a beautiful girl.
When I thought about it, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
But at this moment, I caught something strange in Lin Qianyi's eyes.
"Sijiu?" Lin Qianyi repeated my name and said, "What a strange name..."
