My rival is allergic to pheromones

This lounge is very ordinary, twice the size of the private room they stayed in just now, and the floor is covered with a dark red carpet.

Lin Luoyi stood by the door, her ears pricked up and pressed against the back of the door.Then he belatedly rejoiced that his eyesight and agility were not bad, and his luck was also good, so Gerald had just turned the corner and hid in when he didn't notice him.Otherwise, even if it was only a few seconds slower, Lin Luoyi was not confident that he would not be recognized by Gerrard when he was walking by.

The corridor outside is not long. About a minute later, Lin Luoyi heard the familiar sound of footsteps that weighed more than a thousand catties. I don't know if he was too nervous and had an illusion. Lin Luoyi suddenly felt that the sound of footsteps Suddenly disappeared again - Gerald stopped in front of the door where he was hiding.

Breathing became tense again.

Lin Luoyi didn't dare to turn around, so she just faced the door, raised her feet and stepped back into the room.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, calm and elegant.

"What's going on?" asked the owner of the voice, who seemed to be standing in front of Gerald and examining him, "Is something wrong standing here?"

Lin Luoyi's heartbeat quickened, and before he knew it, his palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat. He listened to the conversation outside the door with trepidation, while scanning his surroundings from the corner of his eye.

There was silence for a few seconds, probably because he was also sneaking in in disguise, and his purpose was really not pure, and he didn't see clearly the figure that flashed by just now, Gerald didn't want to make any further complications, and thought to himself that maybe he just saw it away squinted.

"...No, nothing, sir."

The caucasian man standing face to face with him looked about 50 years old, not tall, with a slightly fatter figure, wearing a decent suit, with a very kind face.He looked Gerald up and down, and said with a smile: "If I didn't miss it, you don't seem to be feeling well? Do you need my help?"

"No, thank you for your kindness, I think I'm just a little tired," Gerald lowered his head, trying to make his words sound sincere and humble, "Just now I just wanted to go in and hide, please don't tell me Lady Diana."

"Oh, small things are just human nature, not to mention that you have really worked hard these days." The white man smiled, "Would you like to come in and rest for a while? Don't worry, if Ms. Diana asks, I will help you It's a cover."

For some reason, Lin Luoyi in the room felt that the laughter was vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about all the people he knew and met when he came to the earth, but it was a pity that they were all wrong.

"Thank you very much, but I have to go to work. There are so many guests tonight, my colleagues may be too busy." Gerald hesitated for a while, and declined the white man's kindness again.

The white man shrugged, said nothing more, and Gerald bowed to him with difficulty, then walked around him.

Hearing the sound of Gerald's footsteps moving and gradually receding, Lin Luoyi, who should have breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again. He knew that he should chase out as soon as possible, go downstairs from the other path provided by Lewis, and grab Gerrard's footsteps. Ladd reminded Huo Xishan and the others before appearing near the preparation room, but Lin Luoyi didn't even dare to move at this time.

He didn't dare take a step outside, or even breathe loudly, because he wasn't sure if the man Gerald was talking to had also left.

In the dark, Lin Luoyi waited patiently for a while, all the nerves in her body were tense.

Tick, tick-

The wall clock in the room made regular sounds, and Lin Luoyi suddenly heard a very slight movement from the door lock. He was startled, his body reacted one step ahead of his brain, and he immediately threw himself behind the sofa in the innermost part of the room.

The space behind the sofa is just big enough for a person to barely squat, and with the curtains covering it, it would be difficult to detect unless you check deliberately.

In the next second, the door of the room was opened, and with a "click", the overhead lights turned on.

footsteps.

There were two people who walked in.

"Doctor, why bother talking to that kid, I think he looks very strange, I'm afraid he's not from this venue." The red-haired Alpha walking behind said with disdain.

doctor?

Lin Luoyi blinked, and suddenly had a guess in her heart. In the entire dungeon, there was probably only one person who could be called a doctor and participate in the auction in an open manner——"Blood Red Zebra".

The caucasian man stood there without speaking, as if he was thinking about something.The red-haired Alpha called him suspiciously again, and the caucasian man came back to his senses, and said with a slight smile, "It's okay, this happens every year anyway. Besides, the quality of the auction is not as good as the previous one, the greatest pleasure Instead, it became a 'mouse catcher', didn't it?"

After he finished speaking, he exhaled lightly, reached out and loosened the tie around his neck, turned around and sat down on the sofa near the door.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet. You should also participate in the gamble, right? How many mice will you bet on catching today? One, or two?"

The red-haired Alpha grinned, revealing a row of jagged teeth: "Actually, I bet three, doctor."

"Oh? So much?"

"I have inside information that a person escaped from the mining area a few days ago. Although the idiot Kesby swore that the person must have died in a deeper mine, I don't believe it. And the latest news from last night, Levi's son who only makes trouble every day has disappeared, and I guess someone has held him hostage."

"This is only two." The doctor said.

The red-haired Alpha said calmly, "I'm used to pressing an extra one. I've always been prepared for this kind of thing. Didn't this just make me bump into it?"

"Sensible, hope tonight's deployment is as wise as your decision, I haven't seen a good game of 'cat and mouse' in a while, so I miss those happy times."

"I believe you will not be disappointed tonight."

Hearing this, Lin Luoyi's face changed slightly.He understood that the "cat and mouse" mentioned in the conversation between these two people was probably a trap set by the dungeon guards to lure and capture "troublemakers" like himself. This kind of capture has become a kind of ornamental game, which can be opened and wagered by people.

No wonder the process of entering the auction was so simple, and it's no wonder that Gerald knew that he and Huo Xishan would follow, so he didn't make any preparations in advance—he wanted to let himself and Huo Xishan enter the game without knowing it , Become a "rat" with him, share the risk and pressure, and divert the enemy's attention.

After thinking about this point, Lin Luoyi suddenly felt dizzy. It turned out that they had always underestimated the dungeons... Wait, is it really "them", or is it just him?He was sure that Alexia should know as much as he did, but what about Huo Xishan?

Suddenly, a series of "jingle bells" sounded in the room.Lin Luoyi was both unfamiliar and familiar with this voice, and never expected to hear it in this kind of place—it was the most primitive landline phone ringing that he had almost only heard in his childhood.

"Hey."

Where Lin Luoyi couldn't see, the red-haired Alpha calmly took out a very old push-button straight phone from his arms, put it to his ear and started talking.

The phone call ended quickly, the red-haired Alpha only said a modal particle at the beginning, and the other end briefly explained a few words, and then the phone was hung up.

"What's wrong?" the doctor asked gently.

"It's Levi, uh, it's Matthew Levi," the red-haired Alpha replied, his expression seemed a little confused, "He said that there seems to be some problem with the data of the lighthouse, and that His Majesty the King is already on his way, Let me prepare to respond. But why did His Majesty the King come so early?"

"Indeed," the doctor agreed, and glanced at the clock on the wall, "the auction will start in a few minutes."

"Forget about it, please rest here first, and I will send someone to deliver the lot you specified, and I will go out to inform other people."

"Thanks for your hard work."

There was another "click", and the door closed again.

The room was quiet again.

Lin Luoyi hid behind the sofa and was anxious. "His Majesty" was undoubtedly referring to Lame Juan, but how could he come so long in advance?According to the original plan of Lin Luoyi and others, the key to catching Gerald is to make a time difference: Gerrard will definitely debug the Destroyer before Juan arrives, and during this time the auction has just started, and most people's attention They are all concentrated on the auction activities, which is the time when all aspects are relatively lax, which is convenient for them to act.

But if Juan arrives early, the security of the entire auction will undoubtedly increase instantly. It will not be so easy for Huo Xishan to catch Gerald unobtrusively, and to take a step back, Even if they did catch Gerrard, it would be even more difficult for them to get away.

The news that Pojiao Juan would arrive earlier was more important than Gerald's appearance. Lin Luoyi knew that he could not delay any longer, so he had to find a way to go out immediately and find Huo Xishan to tell him the situation.However, the doctor sat on the sofa comfortably and leisurely all the time, and even ate fruit in his spare time.

Why doesn't he want to go to the bathroom?And don't wash your hands before eating?This is still a doctor!Lin Luoyi thought angrily.

After a while, Lin Luoyi felt that he couldn't wait any longer. He poked out half of his head quietly from behind the sofa to see the doctor's appearance and compare the individual differences between the enemy and us. Subdue the enemy and break out, but——

"Well, can you finally bear it? I thought you would wait a little longer." The doctor said with a smile. He put the orange peel left over after eating the pulp on the coffee table, and then took out a piece of snow-white orange peel from his coat pocket. The handkerchief wiped off the juice residue on the fingertips, and a pair of blue eyes looked at Lin Luoyi from behind the rimless glasses, "Long time no see, Luoyi."

Lin Luoyi was stunned for a moment.

There was a moment before that he really felt that the doctor's voice was familiar, but he never thought it would be this person.

Lin Luoyi slowly stood up from behind the sofa, her expression changed from dazed to vigilant: "I didn't expect to see you here, Dr. Xiao En."
