Summoning Strange Objects from Anime to Reality

Page 153

I, Chang, have never been a generous person. If you dare to offer a reward for my services, then be prepared to have your brains ripped out.

Nightfall

"Sir, please show me your invitation."

At the entrance of a bar, a waiter politely stopped Chang Yan.

"Give."

The waiter checked the invitation on a testing device, and after seeing the result, he smiled and put the invitation away, replacing it with another piece of paper and handing it to Chang Yan.

"Please take this before you go in. The staff inside will escort you to the auction."

"Ok."

After receiving the paper, Chang Yan was led inside by two maids dressed in cheongsams.

"Sir, please choose a mask you like. These masks are all designed to prevent detection, so please rest assured."

The masks on the display stand look like high-quality goods.

It feels very smooth and rounded to the touch, and the colors on some of the carvings also emit a faint glow, as if they were painted with fluorescent materials.

It's definitely clean, because everything was just made.

Once the mask was auctioned, it was immediately given away; they were wealthy and powerful and wouldn't even look at such a small thing.

The people in power here have very strange tempers. They only allow powerful superhumans to receive invitations. Superhumans without strength will not receive invitations. Of course, it doesn't matter if you obtain them by buying or other means.

"Really... then I'll choose this one."

Chang Yan glanced at the mask a few times and chose a pure black one to put on.

Sure enough, not only did it feel great to the touch, but it also didn't obstruct my vision much.

"Sir, this way please. This place uses spatial stretching technology. If you encounter any discomfort, please let us know as soon as possible."

"fine."

After stepping through the door opened by the maid, Chang Yan found himself in a new space.

A spacious auction stage, rows of chairs made of various materials, and several large private boxes above.

Chairs made of different materials are made for people with allergies to certain materials.

As for the private rooms, they are naturally reserved for important figures.

While these important figures may not be a match for those seated below, the power they represent is not to be trifled with.

"My seat is... pretty out of the way... wait, there's already someone next to me, they came really fast."

Chang Yan walked to his seat and sat down, nodding to the two masked people next to him, who in turn nodded in response.

Nobody knows who you are. Whether you're a veteran or a newbie can only be determined by your usual behavior. Of course, if you're a movie star, that's a different story.

"Sir, would you like any snacks or drinks?"

A maid came forward and asked Changyan what he needed.

There was a table on the armrest of the two chairs next to them, on which drinks were already placed. Judging from the smell, one was tea and the other was coffee.

"A bottle of Coke, please."

"Ok."

The two people next to them were a little surprised. They actually ordered Coke in a place like this. They must be very confident in themselves, or they must be people who would die if they didn't drink soda.

Ignoring the stares of the two people beside him, Chang Yan took a large gulp of his drink.

We're all young people, stop pretending. Don't think a cheap mask can stop me.

The guy on the left drinking coffee is a young man with dark circles under his eyes, probably only in his early twenties. The guy on the right is about my age, yet he's pretending to be deep and drinking tea. Don't think I didn't see you secretly glancing at my cola.

Thinking of this, Chang Yan raised his glass and said:

"Gentlemen, I'm new here. Could you please show me around? Oh, I forgot to mention, you can just call me Yan."

Seeing Chang Yan say this, the guy on the right seemed a bit lost, while the man with dark circles under his eyes on the left nodded and replied:

"Sure, it's not important news, just something to pass the time. By the way, just call me... 3999. Sorry, I couldn't think of a name, so I just gave you a random number. I hope you don't mind. This auction is no different from usual; barter is supported, but sometimes when there are multiple bidders, the seller decides. By the way, many inhumane items and creatures will appear at the auction, so please remain calm. Also, please don't probe others unnecessarily; there are many security measures here. The auctioneer must be a big shot to be able to invite so many extraordinary individuals."

"Inhumane items and creatures? What could those be? Could you give me a general idea? This is my first time here too."

The young man on the right couldn't help but interject, revealing that it was also his first time participating.

Sure enough, you're a newbie too.

"This is easy to guess just by thinking about it. There are too many things like demon swords that require blood sacrifices to use, cursed items that require the sacrifice of several pure souls, bizarre species created through biological experiments using a dozen or so humans as materials, hypnotized and trained slaves, armor made from human skin, and so on. Of course, these things will be displayed and auctioned together at a specific time to allow those with lower tolerance to leave temporarily."

3999 spoke of these chilling items in a very calm tone, seemingly completely unconcerned about them.

However, both the young man and Chang Yan appeared completely unconcerned; the young man even asked:

"How much do these things cost? By the way, you can call me Fei."

"It's hard to say. At the last auction, a supernatural candle stained with the blood of 13 paladins didn't even fetch as much as a cat demon slave. That candle, once activated, would make even some demon generals retreat. Unfortunately, that cat demon's awakened ability was 'seductive charm,' a natural allure. I noticed many men had a physical reaction to it. It just goes to show the inherent flaws of humanity..."

Chapter 218 The Sudden Appearance of SCPs

(Honkai Impact 3rd's firepower replenishment is coming tomorrow... Let me absorb some good luck!)

------

Chang Yan sensed that the young man on the right, who called himself "Fei," looked somewhat uneasy when he heard the word "cat demon."

Is he also a cat demon? Or just a foolish cat lover?

After chatting for a while, Changyan finished his second Coke when the auction began.

Incidentally, the two people next to me also ordered coffee and tea.

After a brief explanation from the host, the first item for auction was brought out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first item for auction is a new weapon developed and manufactured by ME Corporation—the Plasma Shadow Show! This knife utilizes ME Corporation's latest research and development technology, giving it powerful ice capabilities. Most importantly, this knife is a purely technological weapon, capable of functioning even in special environments! Everyone knows ME Corporation's products. The starting price is $1.5 million, with each bid increment no less than $100,000. Let the bidding begin!"

A katana with a futuristic feel and a blue fluorescent sheen on its blade was displayed in a showcase. The host took out the katana and cleaved the showcase in two with a single stroke, revealing a layer of frost on the broken surface.

"Two million!"

Two hundred and thirty-five!

"..."

Wow, this knife is so expensive...

Chang Yan recalled that when he used to play Buggy, he would directly exchange this knife for a crystal in order to get one (there was no crystal synthesis system back then)...

What a spendthrift I am!

The reason this knife commands such a high price is because it's a technological weapon, unaffected by things like "magic depletion," "magic forbidden zones," or "rune corruption."

Soon, the knife was acquired by a young man who wasn't wearing a mask and offered four million. In front of a crowd of people, he handed it directly to a man dressed as a swordsman next to him, moving him to tears.

"Alright. The next item for auction is the combat armor developed by Destiny—Azure Rage! This close-combat armor has been modified to be wearable by normal men, so please don't worry about whether you can wear it or not."

The armor of Destiny is of top-notch quality, but it requires people with Honkai energy adaptability to wear it successfully, and the vast majority of men do not have Honkai energy adaptability.

Starting bid...

"..."

"—"

Watching the people bidding continuously, Chang Yan finally understood for the first time a picture from a previous QQ group—

I often feel out of place with you because of my poverty.

So why would a poor guy like me bother watching this?

Forget about broadening my horizons! My fragile mind has already suffered a huge blow!

But honestly, if Chang Yan really wanted to make money, there are countless ways.

But he was too lazy to do it.

For him, money was simply a means to enjoy life more.

He doesn't need much materially anymore; he just wants peace of mind now.

A peaceful life, a peaceful longevity, and then—

Peaceful eternal life!

So that's your reason for becoming poor?

The money in those bank cards belonging to the Church of the Mother Goddess that time could probably be estimated to be around five million US dollars...

Well, this church seems to be doing quite well among cults.

Of course, it cannot compare to a massive cult like the Light of Truth.

"The next item is somewhat special; the seller requested it be brought out as soon as possible, so please, members of the Church and the vampires, be mindful of your emotions. This item is the long-lost Blood Curse Cross!"

"What?! It's this?!"

"Buy it back at all costs! And while you're at it, find out who the seller is!"

Seeing the sudden uproar among the crowd, Chang Yan was puzzled and asked 3999 next to him.

"Mr. 3999, what is this?"

"Do you remember the candle I mentioned before, the one stained with the blood of 13 paladins?"

"I remember... could this thing be related to those candles?"

"Yes, it was a vicious ritual. Thirteen candles stained with the blood of thirteen paladins were used as ritual props, along with a curse cast with the life of a duke-level vampire, successfully turning a church arch-knight who had fallen into a trap into a vampire. Later, during the Crusades, the church took advantage of his lover, a witch, being weak from childbirth to attack his castle and successfully sealed him in the Prison of God."

"In the end, the witch exhausted her life force, directly teleporting her offspring. And the fallen Grand Knight, in the moments before being sealed away, exhausted all his power, placing a terrifying curse on the cross, the divine artifact he had worn for decades before his fall. Any creature that touches it will be forcibly turned to blood. Even angels who touch it will become blood angels, and fallen angels will also become blood angels. Demons will become blood demons, and even elemental elders, if they touch it for more than 10 seconds, will be forcibly turned into blood elementals. It is said that this item was sealed away by the church long ago, but it seems that this is not the case."

"..."

Wow, this is amazing! But why did the author spend so many words writing about it? Could it be that this thing will be mine someday?

(No, this is for someone else.)

(FAQ!)

"This seller is only asking for a barter. He's asking for an item that can restore memories and an item that can teleport him to another world. Incidentally, he refuses to let church members participate in the auction. I think you all should be able to provide these items, right?"

The mere mention of refusing the church has led some to speculate that the fallen Grand Knights may have escaped their seal to seek out their blood relatives.

Of course, they wouldn't know that God was dead. God's prison had long since been broken.

The host gave a little provocation, which sparked a bidding frenzy.

To them, other worlds are simply alternate dimensions like hell or heaven.

"A Soul Recall Device and a Random Teleportation Amulet!"

"Get lost! You have the nerve to pull out a random teleportation talisman! I'll pay..."

"..."

The vampires were the most aggressive bidders.

This thing can be considered a vampire artifact.

At this moment, the vampire representatives excitedly bared their fangs and bat wings, fiercely bidding as if they were ready to fight to the death.

If they didn't know that the owner here hates people who don't follow the rules, they would have already gone up and snatched it.

Finally, after the vampires threw out more than a dozen related items, the Blood Curse Cross fell into their hands. After failing to meet the seller, they directly activated their own teleportation scroll with the strongest anti-interference ability and ran away.

They run really fast.

Looking at the people in the church, sure enough, they were completely silent; it was obvious they had also run back to the church.

And those seats were also much less occupied.

"Hmm, there are fewer people now. It seems we can take advantage of the situation."

After finishing his coffee, 3999 muttered something to himself, then took out his phone, seemingly to check his bank account.

"Um... I can't even slack off, I'm really broke."
