Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 398 Crescent Hotel ([-])

398 Chapter 398 Crescent Hotel ([-])
The sound of their conversation came from the spirit insect, and Huo Xiangu finally said the three words "light the sky lantern." I think brother Wu Xie should know how bad his situation is now.

After seeing this ghost seal that I don’t know is real or fake, I saw that my brother still didn’t seem to have any reaction, so now I still choose to wait and see what happens.

After Wu Xie heard what the old lady said, he was immediately excited. He finally understood what would happen next.

He whispered the meaning of lighting sky lanterns to the fat man and said: "Lighting sky lanterns should actually be called "lighting lanterns". It is a saying in casinos in the old days. It is a gambling technique, which means burning yourself with a fire." It's like losing everything after a night of gambling, and lighting sky lanterns during the singing and auction seems to be a way to reserve the place."

The fat man whispered: "Book the place? Oh my god! Why are they so generous? They bring tea and snacks. We are the ones paying the bill. What's the rule?"

Wu Xie said: "My grandfather recorded that in a box, there are two main seats on the left and right, and the one on the right is the lamp holder. If someone sits on the right seat of any box, it means that no matter what is sold in this round, No matter how much money is paid in the end, the person who lights up the sky lantern will automatically add one vote, which means that no matter what other photographers do, I will order this thing."

The fat man said: "Then what should we do now?"

Wu Xie glanced at the lantern and said, "This is a single lantern. As long as the lantern is on, you have to carry it until the end of the auction.

The only chance for others to get the collection is to blow up the lantern, so other auctioneers will bid hard and raise the price to a very high level, making it impossible for the person lighting the sky lantern to afford the price. In this case, the last bidder will be deferred to get the auction item, and the person who lights the sky lantern must pay some kind of price for his behavior, sometimes it is money, sometimes it may be an organ like a finger, in short The cost is extremely heavy. "

The fat man said "Fuck!" through his teeth. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and said: "It's so perverted. There is only one thing in the auction today. These people are going crazy trying to get it. This old lady is sure I’m determined to win, and I’m afraid I won’t give up until the end of the shoot, so you...this..."

Wu Xie said: "I'm afraid it won't be enough to burn this lamp and even bankrupt the whole family."

After saying that, Wu Xie's expression became more and more trance-like. He felt that his head was completely covered, and he felt panicked and a little scared. He was sweating like rain, and his heart was pounding and his stomach was churning.

Wu Xie couldn't help complaining that he was such a fool and underestimated the enemy. He originally thought that although he was at a disadvantage from the beginning in this duel with the old lady, he would probably lose, but at most he would be humiliated and embarrassed. But this time The game has become too big, and I really want to completely destroy the Wu family. I am afraid that I will be the eternal sinner of the Wu family.

What makes me regret the most is that regardless of whether this trouble was a trap set by others or not, I was forced to sit in this damn chair by myself, and I didn’t rely on others. I was really angry and regretful, but I still had to cover up my panic. , quickly drank a sip of tea to suppress the cold sweat.

I feel that Wu Xie is already several years older than his head, and even the fat man is visibly nervous. I think if this matter continues to be delayed, if it is my brother and the others, they will run away if they are not safe.

What Wu Xie just meant was that if he was the one who finally bought the jade seal, it would definitely be worth a sky-high price.

In their eyes, although I am the owner of Qilin Pavilion, I am the youngest in the family. I am not involved in the work at home, and I don’t seem to make any money. I still ask for money from my family. I’m afraid he won’t ask. Ask me for money to fill the hole.

The third uncle of the Wu family has collapsed, and he definitely can't afford that much. It's not sure whether the second uncle will care about this matter. If he doesn't save everything, he will be beaten. There is no way he can sell the ancestral home to fill this hole. She Grandma will be mad at him too.

The younger brother’s appearance fee is indeed very high. He can indeed save things, and he should have a lot of private money, but I don’t know where he lives. He probably can’t remember it now, and he can’t get out a dime now. In the eyes of Wu Xie and Fatty, he should be penniless now and unable to help with this matter.

Even if the fat man spends all his wealth, I'm afraid it won't be enough to fill the hole.

So no matter who was the person who finally took the photo, Wu Xie couldn't bear to walk around. I think it would be the best choice for them to just run away.

However, there are many thugs in the Crescent Hotel. On the surface, these are just some of them. These guys are not vegetarians. Three people should be able to deal with them just running away. Brother Xi will never let them stay here, but If they run away with their things, greedy people who covet the jade seal will attack them. Those people are all street gangsters. I don’t know how skilled they are, but they will definitely be ruthless and merciless. They don’t seem to be that way if they want to run away. Easy.

Just as I was thinking about it, the guy who had been sitting on the sofa said, "I see, you don't want to use this bell, so I'll do it." I heard that he didn't seem to get up, and he looked like he wanted me to give it to him. I said to him without looking back: "If you want it, just come and get it yourself. I'm not your subordinate."

The man smiled, sighed and stood up and said, "Why, don't you grab one and play with it? You should know this thing." After a few steps, he walked behind me and reached for the bell I put aside.

I said to him without thinking, "It doesn't matter whether I know or not."

He said "Oh" and asked: "But I have a question. Shouldn't the Blood Phoenix be here for such an occasion? Especially when we are shooting something so important and I haven't seen anyone else today."

I thought to myself that I couldn't tell him that he was being punished and beaten for me and couldn't get up from bed. If he caught me by saying something like this, it would cause trouble for me in the future. I just gave the simplest answer and said perfunctorily: "You guess."

At the same time, Wu Xie was wondering what to do, should he withdraw?How risky will it be to be a cheat later on? Will my little finger be cut off and sent back to my home to ask for money?With Bai Hao protecting Xiaoxun, he can take advantage of the chaos to let them go first. What is the probability of success for Fatty, himself, and Menyou Ping to fight them out? It is estimated that they can escape temporarily, but in the future, will they be arrested again after being wanted? Underworld pursuit?

We were all thinking about what to do next in our minds. At this moment, a guy took a gong and beat it in a circle. In an instant, the whole place was silent, and the auction officially began.

The female emcee in the cheongsam presided over the auction in accordance with the rules of the auction, saying that the lowest bid for each bid was one hundred thousand and the highest was one million. Then the bells started to "ding bells, tinkle bells ~ tinkle bells, tinkle bells ~" one after another from different The direction rang, and just like that, the bidding lasted for a full hour, and the ringing sound made people have a headache.

Wu Xie had no consciousness at all during the whole process, and his mind was in chaos. He didn't know how the hour-long bidding process went. Suddenly he felt a hand pressing on his shoulder, which startled him. Sober up.

He looked back and found that it was Mengyoupin, but he did not look at himself, but looked downstairs without any expression. At that time, he looked like a cold-blooded bodyguard. It seemed that everything here had nothing to do with him. But his hand squeezed his shoulder very hard, and it felt like he obviously had some intention. It felt like he had already made a plan, and he suddenly calmed down.After a while, the scene became quiet and the bidding stopped. Wu Xie turned to look at the fat man. He was completely absorbed in the atmosphere. He wiped his sweat with a towel, probably because he was excited.

In order to calm down, Wu Xie picked up the tea and asked him, "What's going on?"

The fat man said: "His grandma's is almost [-] million!"

Wu Xie must have been too frightened, and suddenly a mouthful of tea squirted onto the fat man's face.

The fat man didn't take it seriously at all. He wiped it with his hand and continued: "Now is the break. Wait for the second half. I will increase the number to 200 million once. Damn it, your fat grandpa has learned a lot."

He pointed at the cheongsam girl who was presiding. She was counting the records just now in the middle of the stage. The fat man exclaimed: "What a girl, there are so many people ringing bells to chase the price. It sounds like a mess, but this girl never listened." Wrong, in less than half a second, which bell rings, which one rings first and which one comes last, she immediately knows that her ears are amazing, she is going to get married, and her husband will never dare to call his mistress."

Then he pointed at the pink shirt, "This kid is also very good. He kept playing with his mobile phone without even raising his head. He rang the last bell before the break. It seemed that he was determined to win and didn't even have the energy to bid.

Then he pointed to Mrs. Huo and said, "The old lady has never been out once. How calm she is. It seems that she is ready to increase her bets and play big."

Wu Xie secretly cursed in his heart, he really has no morals and will not take it easy. He can't help but pity me if I want to light up the sky lanterns. He doesn't feel bad for spending money on each of them, but there is no point in complaining. He knows very well He couldn't get even one-tenth of it. There was no difference between one billion and one hundred million to him. Even if they were merciful and asked him to pay 100 million, he couldn't get it. He would be a scapegoat anyway. His face will definitely be lost. It seems that the safest way is to wait and run away.

The fat man also knew that there was only one road left, so he whispered to Wu Xie, "What should we do now?"

Wu Xie said softly: "What else can we do? This time, the old woman wants to look good to us. This is a big disaster. If I don't find any clues, let's forget it. Saving our lives is important. You think about it. Let's find a chance to escape." .”

The fat man said: "Run away?" He was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little reluctant to say: "It's not that serious, what can we do with the emperor's feet? We were also deceived by this old woman, and besides, we only watched In the first half, there might be something good to watch later, but it would be a shame not to watch it at such a high price."

Wu Xie immediately said angrily: "It's a good show, you devil. It's really a good show if we don't leave. If it's not serious, we'll just run away. There will be opportunities in the future, but if it's serious, damn it!"

The fat man nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go around in circles and see if I can sneak out." He looked at the cheongsam woman and said, "If that doesn't work, let's jump off the stage and use that woman and her goods as a pawn." Hostage, this girl’s ears are so good, she should be quite valuable.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the cheongsam girl in the audience suddenly froze for a moment, then raised her head, looked in their direction, and frowned.

I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this from the diagonal opposite side. I reminded them not to talk nonsense. It was just a matter of using a code and grabbing things and running away. Why did he plan to rob a woman...

Wu Xie and the woman looked at each other, and he said with a thump in his heart: "No, can you hear this?" He hurriedly made a low-pitched gesture to the fat man, and at the same time secretly pointed to the cheongsam woman below.

The fat man laughed dumbly: "You are really serious. No matter how good your ears are, they will never be like this. She probably admires you very much and glances at you secretly."

As he spoke, he pinched his throat and whispered: "Sister, we are going to run away later, can you hear us? If you can hear us, come and catch us. It will be too late later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the cheongsam girl looking at them with an even stranger look on her face. Wu Xie felt something was wrong and thought to himself, damn, it seemed like he could really hear it!He hurriedly said: "Fat man, shut up." Unfortunately, it was too late. The woman suddenly started drinking and pointed at us. The guy next to her immediately looked at them and rushed up the stairs.

Wu Xie let out a sigh of relief. She had finally heard what he said in his heart!

The fat man was also confused and said: "Damn, these ears are like fucking bugs!" Seeing the people rushing up, he was immediately at a loss.

The two of them were already stunned. At this moment, they saw the younger brother passing by Wu Xie like lightning and jumping straight down from the corridor on the second floor. I stood up from the chair with a "scratch".

Wu Xie was stunned, and everyone was screaming. Seeing that he had just landed on the ground and turned over, he screamed again. I felt a gust of wind passing by, and the guy on the sofa "swish" and held the railing of the corridor with one hand. , put his other hand in his pocket, turned it over, and stopped directly in front of the little brother.

When I saw them all running down, I wanted to follow them, but Bai Hao stopped me. He said with a sigh, "Why do you roll over like this? You'll either expose your body or sprain your feet."

I immediately said: "You can't hope for something better."

He looked at the people around him and focused his attention on the people going downstairs. He took a few steps back, waved his hand and dressed like a clerk and said to me: "You go to the door to meet me, I'll do it."

I understood what he meant, nodded and rushed out.

On the other side, the fat man yelled, picked up a chair, kicked down the screen, and threw himself at the hotel clerk who rushed in. The scene turned into a mess.
