Chapter 856: Fishing Enforcement
For Mary, she actually dislikes her attribute called "Tang Monk Meat". In fact, as Duanmu Huai said, the first reaction of any non-human creature in this world when they see her is to attack her. her and eat her.
Beautiful and delicious in a realistic sense.
Frankly, being stared at by a bunch of monsters with the same salivating eyes you would have on a burger or grilled chicken is not a good experience for anyone.
As for why these monsters are so eager for Mary, Duanmuhuai can't explain. After all, judging from the results of the physical examination, she is no more special than others, so in the final analysis it can only be said to be the influence of the golden eyes.
Duanmu Huai's plan is actually very simple, that is, let Mary pretend to be a tourist in an area with a large number of missing people, and then lure the ghouls to take the bait. After all, judging from the previous reactions of the ghouls, in their eyes, Mary is just like a steaming, fragrant and walking large steak, the kind that they want to pounce on and devour.
For Mary, this is obviously a task that leaves her speechless. After all, even if she is not a ghoul, from a human perspective, Mary is still an extremely beautiful girl. Of course, in terms of appearance, she is quite capable of fighting. , but not to the point of being super capable. But that young lady's temperament and her gold and blue eyes instantly lifted her to another level.
To be honest, even a girl with average looks can fight as long as her temperament and posture are right, let alone a girl like Mary who is already very good at fighting.
So when Mary walked on the street, she not only had to pay attention to ghouls, but she also had to be careful not to be approached by gangsters... which was also a headache.
"Aha……………"
Walking on the street, Mary sighed silently. Frankly speaking, it would be good if she just followed Duanmuhuai's suggestion and treated it as a trip. Walking alone on the streets of a foreign country, admiring scenery that you have never seen before, is quite unique.
only………
"Hey hey hey, this young lady."
Soon, several hooligans in leather jackets walked over and blocked Mary's path.
"Hello, are you here for a trip? HELLO, can you understand what we are talking about?"
The leader, the yellow-haired man, said to Mary with a playful smile, while his two followers surrounded Mary from the left and the right, looking at her with smiles.
"Hehehe, she looks like a really pretty girl. How about she come and play with us?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at her holding an umbrella, she looks like a young lady."
Why……………
Listening to the words of the people around her, Mary sighed silently. In fact, she had not seen similar people when she was in Fog City. Mary used to have a good relationship with some wandering orphans, but she also came into contact with many similar people. People at the bottom. If it were Charlie or Ashelika, they might be at a loss when facing this kind of situation, but for Mary, this is nothing.
Of course, she can't behave like this now.
So Mary pretended not to understand what they were talking about, and tried to move away in a panic. Of course, these little hooligans would not let Mary go like this, but they still blocked each other's way with a smile. Although this place is not that kind of alley, it is sparsely populated. Occasionally, a few people pass by nearby. Seeing this, they leave in a hurry, as if they don't want to get into trouble.
What to do next? Lure them into an alley and knock them unconscious?
While dodging, Mary thought in her heart. The reason why she didn't do this immediately was because she followed Duanmu Huai's instructions to maintain her "persona". Similar things had actually happened several times in the past few days, and basically they were all It was Mary who pretended to run away, lured the other party into a deserted alley, and then knocked her unconscious.
After all, this is a place where ghouls frequently appear, and she also wants to avoid being watched by ghouls.
"Hello."
Just when Mary decided to take these people to the alley, suddenly a woman with black hair and voluptuous clothing appeared in front of the three gangsters, stared at them coldly and spoke.
"Don't you think it's very rude of you to harass a lady like this?"
"Haha? Who are you?"
The little gangster who was disturbed naturally turned his head and looked at the other person very unhappy. However, the woman stretched out her hand and directly pressed the little gangster's shoulder, and then saw the little gangster suddenly wailing.
"Hey, hey, hey...!"
"Immediately apologize to this lady and leave."
"Oh, damn it...!"
After breaking free from the woman's restraints, the gangster looked at him angrily. Perhaps knowing that he could not get any benefit from this woman, he snorted coldly and turned around to leave with his two younger brothers. After watching the three gangsters leave, the woman walked up to Mary and bowed to her with an elegant smile.
"Hello, beautiful lady, are you not hurt?"
Then, the woman spoke in the language of Mary's country.
"Ah, I'm fine. Thank you for your help."
Mary also hurriedly returned the salute, and upon hearing her answer, the woman showed a smile.
"I'm sorry to scare you, but I can assure you that most people in this country are kind. If you don't mind... How about I buy you a cup of coffee as an apology?"
"………………Okay."
Faced with the woman's invitation, Mary hesitated for a moment and agreed.
The reason why she agreed was very simple, that is, when the other party appeared, Mary sensed that the bird divination instrument on her body had a reaction, that is to say, this woman was not a human, but a ghoul.
It seems that the fish has finally taken the bait.
After that, the woman took Mary to a nearby coffee shop and chatted with her. During the conversation, Mary also told her who she was - a novelist who came here to collect folk songs.
Well, strictly speaking, it's true. For Mary, writing this adventure into a novel is also one of the plans.
The only thing that was a little unexpected was that the other party had read Mary's novel and was her fan.
"I didn't expect that I could meet you, teacher, here. It was really unexpected."
The woman named Mayu happily took Mary's signature and looked very excited.
"I've read your novels before, and I have to say that each one is very bold and creative... Although the author's introduction also explains your situation, this is the first time I've seen you in person, after all, there are no photos in the book."
"That's my request. I don't like to be too public..."
Mary didn't lie about this. In fact, when she first came to prominence, the publishing house once proposed to let Mary show her face and make a name for herself as a "beautiful girl novel writer", but Mary firmly refused because she felt that it would be like selling the book by herself, so Mary never held any book signings or anything like that.
Of course, on the one hand, Mary doesn't like to be public, and on the other hand, she really can't spare the time - after all, she still has the work of the trial court to be busy.
"I see, I also know a writer, she is probably older than you, and she is also a best-selling author."
Then, the two sides talked about some topics, mainly about books and the situation in this country, and then when leaving, Mayu invited Mary.
"If you have time, can you go to other places with me?"
"Other places?"
"Yes, you said you came to this country to collect materials, so I think you will benefit a lot there."
Faced with Mayu's invitation, Mary was silent for a while.
"Then... I'll leave it to you."
If the prediction is correct, then the place she is going to this time will indeed give her a lot of materials.
When the two walked out of the cafe, a car had already parked on the street, and then Mary and Mayu got in the car, and then the car started and drove forward along the road.
No one spoke along the way, and Mary leaned against the window and looked out, but soon she found that the car seemed to have left the city...
"Excuse me, where are we going?"
Faced with Mary's inquiry, Mayu and the driver did not answer. Instead, Mary only felt a sweet breath coming, and the next moment, she lost consciousness.
When Mary opened her eyes again, she found herself locked in a cage like a container, and her hands were handcuffed.
"Huh..."
Although she was in danger, Mary was relieved.
Now it seems that everything is going according to plan.
And at this moment, Mary heard Duanmu Huai's voice.
"Hey, Mary, how is the situation?"
"Mr. Duanmu."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's call, Mary was relieved. She put her hand to her ear and started her personal terminal.
"Everything went well. I should have been caught by them..."
"I know. I have been with you. You are currently in the warehouse under the auction. They are holding an auction. According to the organizer, you are going to be put at the end as the finale. I didn't expect that this group of people is quite discerning."
"Ah... I don't want this kind of vision."
Mary complained speechlessly, and then she changed the subject.
"That... the woman who brought me here, Mayu..."
"Yes, she is one of the hunters. I am waiting at the auction site. When you come on stage to heat up the atmosphere, it will be time to take action. Is that okay?"
"Yes! But it's a pity that she is also a fan of my books..."
"You want all the books about eating people?"
"... Forget it."
While chatting with Mary, Duanmu Huai leaned against the wall and looked at the auction house in front of him. This building looks like an art gallery or something. The auction house is now one of the drama halls. Hundreds of ghouls are sitting here, whispering to each other from time to time, looking very excited.
In fact, Duanmu Huai is also very excited.
Because these ghouls in the auction house are either rich or noble, it is certain that they must have status in the human world, which means that they are not like the ghouls he hunted before, who are lonely and lonely. Maybe they are like carrots, a bunch of them.
Duanmu Huai likes this kind of business of killing the whole family the most.
Especially for killing aliens, from the elderly to babies, he would not let any of them go.
At this moment, Duanmu Huai was leaning against the wall, looking at the high-level ghouls whispering to each other below, imagining their whole family's corpses scattered all over the ground and blood flowing like a river, and he was already very excited.
After all, he is the God of Destruction, and his desire to destroy aliens is very strong in his bones.
This so-called auction is actually not much different from an ordinary auction. Basically, it is to introduce the goods, then bid, and the highest bidder wins. Of course, the "goods" here are all human beings, including out-of-date actors and ordinary people, but Duanmu Huai doesn't care about these trivial matters. He is just waiting, waiting for the auction to be the most popular. After all, there are more people participating in the auction here. Duanmu Huai knows very well that those big shots have not made a move yet.
Because there is no product worth their effort.
But soon, this situation will change.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!"
The masked host raised his hands high, his tone extremely excited.
"The next item to appear will be the most noteworthy item in this auction!"
As the host spoke, the music sounded quickly, and then the searchlight suddenly lit up, shining on Mary, who was standing behind the host with handcuffs.
Seeing Mary, the guests present were in a commotion, and the host also bowed slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have also seen how beautiful this lady with gold and blue eyes is. Not only that, her identity is also worthy of respect—because this is none other than the famous novelist Miss Mary Clarissa Christie!"
Hearing the host's introduction, the guests below suddenly became agitated. It seems that Mary is really famous.
Speaking of being world-famous?
However, the host obviously did not intend to stop there, and he spoke again.
"Not only that...please smell her carefully!"
Facing the host's words, the ghouls also twitched their noses—ghouls have a much more sensitive sense of smell than humans. Although it is unknown how sensitive it is, it is obvious that they can easily smell the smell of the girl standing on the stage from their seats.
Then…
“Bang!”
A fat rich woman suddenly stood up, staring at Mary with wide eyes, and on the other side, a well-dressed gentleman also stood up. At the same time, others were also very surprised.
“What is this?”
“This is the first time I smell such an attractive smell of a human!”
“Hey, how much does it cost to buy her!”
Almost all the ghouls present were crazy about Mary, and some of them were even impatient and asked for a price on the spot.
“It seems that everyone has understood her value.”
Looking at the commotion of the audience below, the host smiled slightly.
“Well, now we start the auction……The reserve price……50 million!”
