[Comprehensive British and American] Today's meal at 221B Baker Street

When the gemstone revealed its true face from the box, Tang Heng could hear almost everyone gasp. According to the auctioneer, it was appraised by many well-known appraisers in the industry. To ensure that this golden gem is naturally formed with such a pure golden color, since the consignor is unwilling to explain the source of this gem, the appraiser still classifies this gem as a golden sapphire.

The color of most natural unheated yellow sapphires will appear very pale, some color instability will become lighter, the number of natural yellow sapphires that have not been heated to optimize the color saturation is quite small, and everyone knows that this gem will It will be sold at a sky-high price tonight.

Tang Heng lowered the curtain, she looked at Bruce, and tightly held the velvet box in her pocket, "Who is the client of that jewel?"

Bruce shook his head subconsciously, he was in a trance for some reason, and he was in a daze for a few seconds before answering Tang Heng's question: "I didn't find out, it's not an exaggeration to say that this gem appeared out of thin air, But it does have a client."

The client, who even Bruce couldn't find out, looked very powerful. The Reality Gem that suddenly became active in her pocket told her that the golden gem should also be an Infinity Rough Stone, but she didn't know why it appeared here.

"That's one of the Infinity Stones, why did it appear in Gotham's underground auction?" Tang Heng asked as he thought about it. Bruce seemed to wake up from that trance, and he blinked. Blinking, as if the state just now had never appeared.

"Infinity Stones." Bruce remembered what Golly told them about another parallel world during the timeline change. Someone wanted to collect six Infinity Stones, and then let the general population in the universe disappear, in order to let the crowded universe relax. For a moment, by the way, take this half of the universe's creatures to please his new master - the goddess of death.

And the infinite rough stone appeared here, that is to say, these gems with self-awareness have also seen their future destiny, so they appeared here to change their fate, but why did an infinite rough stone appear? At an auction in Gotham?

Bruce didn't know at this time that there was more than one Infinity Stone at the auction, and he was just considering whether he wanted to make a splash with this gem.

Tang Heng saw that someone had started calling for the price, and the price had been called all the way from the base price of 3000 million to 5000 million. Although the golden sapphire was very precious, and the 175.43-carat gemstone was very impressive in size, it was just a stone after all, sitting on the second and third floors. Everyone who bought it had a list of auction items in their hands, and there was a lot of doubt about the appearance of one of the three finale items at the very beginning, and the auctioneer didn't explain what the gemstone was for.

The auctioneer wore a white mask on his face. The mask was a fox face. The corners of his mouth curled up in a strange arc, which was very conspicuous among all the black masks. The effect is inferred as follows, it has a certain effect on the human soul and can stabilize the mind. Of course, in this world where aliens and gods have appeared, many things may have many wonderful uses. We think this gem In the hands of the master, it may be possible to control the souls of others."

Many people focused, and the auctioneer smiled with satisfaction, "Of course, these are just our inferences. Even if this gemstone is just an ordinary golden sapphire, its size and appearance are indeed worth the price, which clearly shows its identity and status. .”

Not long after he finished speaking, the price was called up to 8000 million, and Bruce next to Tang Heng finally called for 9000 million, but everyone present was not surprised, and the people sitting on the third floor were basically recognized. Bruce, who already spends like water and is currently running for mayor, is naturally interested in such a beautiful gem. Moreover, according to tabloid reports, Bruce has recently made a choice between two cover models. A piece of gemstone will be taken as a gift for the lady after being photographed!

As for the efficacy of this gem, even if the people working here are relatively rich and powerful, they will definitely not spend a lot of money for a possibility. The auction hammer knocked three times, and the gem was put in a box and sent to Bruce and In Tang Heng's room, the waiter put down the box respectfully, looked at Tang Heng ambiguously, and left contentedly with the huge tip from Bruce.

Tang Heng opened the box, the golden luster almost blinded her eyes at that moment, she had to turn her head to close the box again, the Reality Gem in her pocket was beating more and more violently, Tang Heng used some strength to let it go. He calmed down, "Sherlock will auction off the documents in a while, with you auctioning gems before him, he should not attract much attention, and we will each take part of it, so is there anything else that needs attention? "

Bruce looked at the list again, "Except for the final three items, there is nothing else. It's just that this is an underground auction, and there are more than that. You have to be mentally prepared."

Tang Heng's heart sank. Having experienced in the previous world, she vaguely knew what the next auction would be like. Just as she thought, after the gems, there were a few auctions that were neither ordinary nor extraordinary. After counting ordinary objects, the floor of the hall was opened, and an iron cage was lifted up. In the middle of the cage was a beautiful girl with pointed ears, but her hair was disheveled, and she shrank desperately to the corner of the cage.

In addition to her face, there was also that pretty big tail that lacked water. Tang Heng clenched the corner of the table with one hand, "Is this a mutant or is it?"

Bruce glanced over the mermaid girl's ear, "Probably not exactly, the ones in her ears are not mutant suppressors, and, if there are mutants in Gotham, I won't let them appear in any of them At the auction, I need to contact Arthur."

"Did they buy her as a plaything?"

"Your acceptance is very high." Bruce said inexplicably, Tang Heng is different from the girl she brought before. Although she was angry about this kind of thing, she would not do anything out of anger, let alone Asking him to pay to buy this poor mermaid girl, Tang Heng felt pity and anger, but he had a feeling that Tang Heng was used to it.

Tang Heng poured himself a glass of wine, and the wine was bitter and spicy in his throat, "So what if you don't accept it, there are many poor people in this world, she looks good, but she doesn't have the ability to protect herself, so she was caught Who is at fault for buying and selling people? Is it those who want to satisfy themselves, or those who capture these rare people? I can’t save her, so why should I express my own justice with words on the sidelines filled with righteous indignation?”

Bruce was silent for a moment, "You can ask me to buy her, after all, I still have the ability."

"What qualifications do I have to ask you? Because you have money? But the money was earned by you, and it has nothing to do with me. Moreover, if I ask you to save her, it would be a moral kidnapping, no one said A rich person must use his own money to go out to charity, and after buying her, it may cause a series of troubles." Tang Heng drank another glass of wine, and she slowly let go of herself Holding the hand at the corner of the table, "There are so many things like this in this world, can you take care of every one of them?"

"But you can always control what's in front of you." Bruce watched as someone on the first floor of the hall tremblingly raised the sign but put it down halfway through. Since the mermaid girl appeared, no one was willing to bid.

The auctioneer didn't panic, he just read slowly according to the appraisal report given by the appraiser, but the girl kept raising her head and bowing her head, as if she wanted to find someone among these people who could help her get out of this kind of situation. local people.

Tang Heng's eyes turned cold. She opened the box and looked at the golden gemstone. The harsh light became much softer. She reached out and touched it lightly, feeling a gentle breath wrapping her soul. The resentment and restlessness were allayed one by one, she let out a long breath, closed her eyes and plunged herself into darkness.

The system update has come to an end, the ball of light fluctuates in the air, seeing her appear, and greeted her with great interest, "Good evening, it seems that the host's mentality is not stable, and I need to play music for you Calm you down?"

"No need, when will the General Administration send someone over?"

"Oh, the General Administration of this matter has already issued instructions. This world has deviated from the normal track. At the point of deviation, this world split into a small world that is exactly the same as itself. Someone reversed the situation through this small world. The tragedy of the original world, the General Administration is very satisfied with this talent, and hopes to recruit her after the mission is over." The system projected a document in front of Tang Heng, "The host was affected by the timeline after the world reversed on the way back, That's why you fell into the body of Evelyn Tang in this world, after the update, your body will leave Evelyn Tang, but your identity will still be this Miss Tang."

Tang Heng nodded, "Since the update is coming to an end, some of your functions can also be used. I want to know the origin of that mermaid girl outside. You know, I haven't been in this mood for a long time."

The system seems to be inputting information, "Yeah, after the host foolishly involved others, the same thing happened again, but this time the host performed very well, and the system will write a note in the report to the headquarters. "

Before Tang Heng got angry, the system released the girl's information, "Her disguise is very good, an alien who is temporarily out of star planet, as the forerunner who invaded the earth, and, according to the scan of this underground auction, the system I found that most of the auction items are alien products, I hope the host can quickly find out the truth, so as not to let myself die here."

Tang Heng looked at the ball of light expressionlessly, and felt that he should break up with him immediately after arriving at the headquarters, this hot chicken ball!
