Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

After three more lots, she suddenly left the auction room, seeing the bored guests, and walked to the center of the auction table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next is our secret item. It's something completely different from the previous ones and will definitely give you a new look."

"This is also the first miracle I've ever seen in my career. I guarantee that these things will drive you crazy."

Many people who were originally feeling uninterested suddenly became interested when they saw her suddenly walk to the middle and say these ambiguous words.

You know, an auctioneer cannot make promises casually, otherwise if he fails to do it well, his life will be ruined. No one will use an auctioneer without credibility.

Seeing that everyone's interest was piqued, she slowly retreated to the auction table.

"I think everyone must be very interested, so I won't waste your time."

"Next, we will begin the auction of the first finale item!"

As the red cloth on the rising square display case was pulled open, two neatly arranged fist-sized metal balls appeared before everyone's eyes.

"I'm sure everyone has heard about the recent appearance of the extremely powerful double star weapon somewhere?"

Of course, everyone has heard of binary stars. They are extremely powerful and even technologically advanced, but there are not many of them.

Many people want to buy this kind of weapon when they hear about it but have no way to do so. The only place to buy it is on the black market, but not only is the price ridiculously high, it is also extremely difficult to buy and is often out of stock.

I didn't expect that this auction house could actually get something like this.

The people in the audience were not very satisfied with the fact that there was only one pair of stars.

What's the use of having only one pair.

Minqi looked at the people in the audience and smiled confidently. "Yes, this is the Twin Stars that have recently gained fame. We have also conducted an assessment of whether the performance of their weapons is as exaggerated as the outside world claims."

"Everyone please look at the screen."

Wearing the same outfit as in the video, the auction staff began to demonstrate the power test of the binary star.

He was in an abandoned urban area. Many of the houses were old but still fully functional.

"As we all know, the latest high-damage weapon is the Tower. This Twin Star is several times more powerful than the Tower. You can see its power."

The man in the video picked up one of the two metal balls and pressed the blue button on it. The metal ball then floated next to him.

Minqi explained simultaneously, "That's the defensive ball in the binary star. It can withstand the impact of a binary star explosion and can also withstand the power attack of B-level and lower wandering bodies. As for the attack power of the star, you can read more..."

After opening the protective ball, the man in the picture picked up another metal ball and pressed the red button on it. The red light of the button converged above and finally turned into a holographic screen, which clearly displayed the control interface of the explosion range and power.

"In addition to being extremely powerful, the star in the binary can also control the range and energy of its explosion through control keys."

As she spoke, the man in the video randomly selected a range and clicked OK. After seeing the red button on the metal ball flash once, the man threw it out.

Under the perfect parabola, with a loud "bang", a powerful shock wave, centered on the bomb, swept around like a surging wave.

Wherever that force reached, everything was destroyed and shattered, and the destroyed areas looked like the end of the world.

The high temperature generated by the explosion instantly ignited the surrounding air. The buildings were vulnerable to this terrifying power and collapsed one after another, raising a cloud of dust.

A huge deep pit was blown out on the ground, and in the core area of the explosion, only a charred ruin remained, as if it had been severely squeezed by an invisible giant hand.

The people present couldn't help but gasp when they saw this scene.

This destructive power is far more terrifying than that of a tower.

This is no longer destructive power, but destructive power.

"This thing is horrible."

I don't know who said this, but everyone couldn't help but agree.

"Indeed, but this weapon is truly powerful."

"Is this power enough to deal with a rank A wandering body?"

"No wonder it's not available. This thing is truly top-notch. If it were me, I wouldn't want to let it go."

Minqi smiled as she watched everyone stunned by the power of this thing.

That's great, this way you can get a good price for the product.

"I can see everyone's very interested in it. Let me explain, the twin stars are sold in bundles, a total of three sets, with a starting bid of 6000 million yuan per set, and each increment must be no less than 500 million yuan, with no upper limit."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, people started holding up signs.

"6500w."

"7000w."

"8500w."

The endless stream of biddings instantly made the somewhat deserted auction hall lively.

[Master, your things are very popular~] Xiaoqi's tail swung high, obviously very proud.

Its owner is such a genius.

[It's not mine, they've altered it.] Xia Jiumeng looked coldly at the people bidding below.

The old man bought the design and made it but did not sell it to the public because he knew the danger of this thing. It can not only deal with stray bodies, but also humans.

Unfortunately, there is no impenetrable wall in this world.

As long as someone knows it, it will leak out to the outside world sooner or later.

The room she was in was Mr. Da's room. He must have known that the double stars were being auctioned here but he didn't stop it. It seemed that he had other ideas.

But this is not her business. She is not an ambassador for maintaining world peace. Once the things are sold, as long as it does not interfere with her business, how the things are used or where they are used is not her concern.

[The changes are pretty good, are there any promising talents among them?] Xiao Qi sat up curiously and watched the demonstration video below.

Maybe.

In the end, three different sets of binary stars were bought by three people for around 1 million yuan respectively, one of whom was even a person who was also on the second floor.

[Master, I feel like our store's prices are too low.]

Shuangxing has hundreds of millions here, but their dark web store only sells it for 8300 million.

This price is just right.

The auction house has the connections to get such a price, but she, a small dark web shop, doesn't have that ability, and this thing is a lethal weapon that is prohibited from being sold.

Bantu looked at the person who had been sitting by the window watching the auction below since it started and was a little confused about what she meant to him.

After being rescued by her, this man not only returned all the things he could hold on him, but also gave him a lot of freedom and security.

He asked him to pay back his debt but never forced him to do so. He was even willing to spend a lot of money to save his people.

He was now very curious about what kind of deal could make greedy and selfish humans become so kind?

Maybe...she is just a kind person.

...

On the auction stage.

Minqi looked at the huge square glass box rising up on the lift platform, and a hint of understanding and sympathy flashed in her eyes.

As an auctioneer, she certainly knew what was inside.

They were two "disabled" mermaids bound by dozens of iron chains.

After calming down her emotions, she looked at everyone present with a smile.

"Next is our lot number 3."

"Everyone must be curious about what this huge thing is, right?"

As she spoke, she slowly walked to the giant fiberglass and pulled the black cloth covering it with one hand.

"I'm sure everyone has heard of the ancient deep-sea civilization of Lemuria..."

She pulled it hard, and the thing under the red cloth instantly came into everyone's sight. Bantu, who had been sitting on the sofa trying to control his emotions after the thing appeared, could no longer bear it and stood up suddenly.

The eyes, which were originally dark red and almost turned black, suddenly turned bright red, filled with anger.

[Master, this fish is out of control.]

"Then let him calm down." Xia Jiumeng did not answer consciously but said it directly.

At the same time, the supernatural power in his hand moved slightly, and a huge water ball suddenly appeared above Bantu's head.

The water ball exploded with a 'pop' sound, soaking him to the bone. Seeing that he hadn't recovered, seven or eight more water balls exploded in succession.

"Wait a minute, stop!"

"Snapped."

"I..grunt..enough!"

"Snapped."

"I'm awake! Stop... Gurgle..."

Bantu's voice was choked by the water from the exploding water ball and kept bubbling.

Xiao Qi gloated as he watched the mermaid, who had gone from being angry and hateful and wanting to destroy everything, turn into Bantu, the first one to be choked by water and unable to speak clearly, lying on the ground in a mess and being baptized by the water ball.

[Master, do you think mermaids can choke to death on water?]

Xia Jiumeng didn't know how to answer this question, so she said calmly, "Water is the same as air to them, right?"

"It's impossible to choke to death."

But why do I feel like he's going to choke to death?

Only after Xiaoqi said this did Xia Jiumeng stop condensing the water ball.

Bantu was seen sitting on the ground in a mess, his specially tailor-made suit now wet and wrinkled and hanging on his body. His fair face was flushed red and he was still coughing, but the blood in his eyes had disappeared.

"Oh, forgot he has no fins on land."

Xia Jiumeng withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.

"Are you awake?"

"Cough cough cough... cough cough, I'm sober... I'm awake." When Bantu heard Xia Jiumeng's voice, he didn't even have time to cough and quickly responded, for fear that if he was a second late, she would give him another big water ball.

"That's good." Xia Jiumeng's gaze returned from him to the auction table.

I saw that the auctioneer had already introduced the origin of the item and was explaining the auction instructions.

In the huge glass fish tank on the auction table, there were two mermaids, one male and one female, who were tightly imprisoned by dozens of iron chains. In order to prevent them from committing suicide, huge iron balls were even stuffed into their mouths.

The chains were even electrified, and if they struggled, the electricity would be released, causing them to groan, until they could no longer struggle.

"How could those people... treat them like this!" Bantu had walked to the window at some point and became excited again as he looked at the scene on the auction table.

"They are commodities now. How do you expect those people to treat them?"

Xia Jiumeng glanced at Bantu and finished him off without mercy.

"You seemed even worse off than them at first."

Isn’t it? It’s almost heartbreaking.

Bantu "......"

Chilling.

The real chilling feeling is not the loud noise.

He took back his evaluation that this man was a good person, and this man was an absolute black-hearted boss.

【Master, you hurt his heart.】

[Mermaids have strong hearts and are not afraid.]

Xia Jiumeng didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

"Before filming begins, they'll have someone come forward to observe. You can take the opportunity to approach and communicate with them."

"They endure the pain and get mad if I hesitate for more than three seconds before bidding."

If a product that is already problematic shows major flaws, it will make people who bid on it hesitate.

Her budget was not much, only 20 billion, which was the deal she made with Mr. Da yesterday. She even offered a deal for 1 chips.

This fish must be within her budget.

She doesn't mind using some tricks.

Bantu hesitated when he heard her words.

He could understand going crazy, but those chains were all electrified. If they went crazy, they would definitely suffer great torture. He...

"A short pain is worse than a long one. I think you can guess what would happen if they fell into the hands of others."

"Even if a living mermaid is of no use, we can still enjoy her."

"Humans have plenty of ways to torture them and make them behave."

Xia Jiumeng saw his hesitation and said coldly.

Bantu's face turned paler and paler as Xia Jiumeng spoke. Yes, his fellow tribesmen might not have a good ending if they fell into her hands.

If he hadn't met her, he would probably be on the couch or at the dining table now.

"You can have your own little thoughts, but I hope you won't get in my way."

"Otherwise, you don't want to know what I look like when I'm angry."

Xia Jiumeng spoke in a flat tone and took the tablet to start looking at it.

Bantu was startled, then quickly calmed down and clenched his fists.

"I don't have any thoughts. I just want to save my people. It's the same goal as yours."

His explanation sounded extremely pale to Xia Jiumeng.

I get scared when I'm scared.

She was indeed a simple mermaid, not sophisticated at all, but she didn't bother to care.

"Go get ready."

Xia Jiumeng pointed to the toilet in the private room and motioned him to clean himself up.

Bantu didn't say anything, but turned silently and walked towards the bathroom. When he came out again, the bathroom was clean and tidy.

Xia Jiumeng looked at the stage where many people were already observing the mermaid and said, "Go down, they have all gone to see it."

"it is good."

But within a few minutes, Bantu appeared in front of the giant glass tank.

He just looked at the glass normally, and the mermaid who was struggling with despair and hatred in her eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

Then he began to struggle even more violently, even though his limbs were charred and peeling from the electric shock from the chains, he still struggled fiercely.

"Oh my god, they're attacking people!"

"What's going on!"

"Ah! I was so scared!"

The scene was in chaos for a moment. Minqi had not expected such a change to happen. She immediately asked someone to bring a black cloth to cover it, and then rushed to maintain order.

"Sorry, there was an unexpected situation. It may be that the stabilizer in the water has weakened. But don't worry, we will handle the product properly after it is purchased before handing it over."
