Chapter 1246 Deep into the Ice
Li Chengqi, who had been watching the whole process, was of course not just admiring Fang Lanyin’s new vertical painting. When a few people came in, he clicked on the character panels of everyone nearby. .
There are indeed no high-level guys, but each title seems to be more ruthless than the last. It is indeed a gathering place for ruthless people.
At this time, a short halfling came over. Judging from his uniform, he must be a waiter.
"Hello, Captain Alyssa, please come here with your people for a checkup, and then I will take you to your room."
Putting aside the issue of size, Alyssa is here to do business.
She deliberately raised her neck and nodded slightly to show the way.
You don't need to be too polite to the staff here, otherwise these guys will think you are easy to bully.
The so-called inspection is actually just a scan like before the plane.
It's just that this scan is not just to see if there are any explosives or metals. After all, if this is the case, Long, the silicon man, will not be able to get in.
A staff member took a portable scanner and scanned everyone up and down, and then walked through a scanning channel, and that was it.
If you carry a weapon, you can temporarily store it at the door, and the staff will return it to you when you leave.
After passing the scan, stepping on the red carpet, the halfling from before eagerly pushed open the mahogany door.
Behind the gate and outside are like two worlds.
This is a lobby reminiscent of a luxury hotel. You can even see the front desk helping customers check in. What is the difference from ordinary hotel lobbies? At the end, you will see a dense row of about 100 people. Dozens of elevators.
Alyssa's grandfather is a frequent visitor here, and the Deep Diving Devil has reserved a special room for her without any formalities.
The halfling who came to greet them also knew this and led everyone towards the elevator.
"Alyssa? I almost didn't recognize her."
Just as he was about to approach the elevator, several tall orcs walked out from one side. The leading orc was wearing a white dress, holding a cigar in his hand, revealing a row of gold rings on his fingers. He looked like a nouveau riche. .
"Cindy, you are indeed here too."
This orc named Cindy looks like a human-shaped lion. In fact, his face does not look like a lion, but his hair is like a lion's mane.
"Haha, there is no other way. A guy like me who only has money, if I want to get into other circles, I have to have goods."
He seemed to be very familiar with Alyssa, he laughed and bent down and whispered:
"I have heard that there are precious biological items in this auction. Please don't snatch them from me when the time comes. I owe you a favor."
"Come on, you know I'm not interested in biological auctions. I prefer those with a certain age."
"Antiques, I know, but it's a pity that I can't appreciate them. After all, I am a nouveau riche and have no taste."
It sounded like he was mocking himself, but the orc named Cindy immediately changed his tone: "Your grandfather stole a lot of good things from me when he was here, little girl, if you know what to do, you know what to do. "
"If I don't understand, what can you do to me? Use your money to kill me?"
Cindy and Alyssa looked at each other indifferently, and the atmosphere was so solemn that people could not help but relax when they breathed.
After a moment, Cindy suddenly stood up with a grin:
"Sure enough, it's Mr. James's son. I guess I said something wrong. I wish you a good time."
With that said, he led the people away and greeted the next person who came through the door. Alyssa stared at Cindy's back, and then motioned to the halfling to continue leading the way.
The halfling said "I didn't see anything" about everything that just happened, as if nothing really happened, and continued to lead everyone closer to the elevator.
Fang Lanyin actually wanted to ask if there was any grudge, but the halfling was also nearby, so it was difficult to ask.
The elevator door opened, and after everyone entered, the elevator immediately descended.
This is a glass elevator with no obstructions around it.
At first, you will see a dark elevator shaft, but soon, as the elevator continues to descend, everyone sees that the outside of the elevator turns into white ice and snow.
This elevator is very interesting. It does not move according to floors, but according to distance.
When the panel showed that everyone had walked nearly twelve kilometers down, the white ice turned into a deep ocean.
The weak lights placed around the elevator shaft made the water outside look dim gray-blue. I couldn't see very far, but I seemed to be able to feel something like a creature swimming nearby.
Fang Lanyin lay on the side of the elevator and looked around. At this time, a huge, shark-like thing swam nearby, which shocked Fang Lanyin.
The reason why the Deep Diving Devil is called this is because its main body is actually underwater.
This dwarf planet covered in ice and snow has an ice layer more than ten kilometers thick, but it is actually full of life below, but it may be due to the lower gravity. The creatures here are relatively large and look...
As we all know, the appearance of deep-sea creatures is difficult to describe, and the same is true here.
If you look down at this time, you will see that the elevator shaft looks like a vertical hollow pipe. There is a huge building that looks like a sea urchin at the bottom. Its 'thorn' part is transparent and crystal clear. The transparent pipes of the elevator shaft are connected to it.
Where everyone is now, they have passed through the thick ice and entered the water.
This is the safest auction site. No one can make trouble here, because if you make trouble here, you can't escape at all.
Even if there is a starship to assist, it is still wishful thinking to blast through the ice layer more than ten kilometers thick. Here, everyone has only one identity.
guest.
Apart from this, no other identity is required.
The capsule-shaped elevator began to slow down gradually, and finally stopped smoothly. As the elevator door opened, a huge space like a theater appeared outside the door.
The auction is being held here, and the spotlight has been on the center of the theater, but the auction hasn't started yet, so there is nothing there.
The elevator is on the left side of the theater. Not only Alyssa and the others take the elevator down, but all guests need to come down this way.
Many guests were guided to their seats by the waiters. Some of these people were here for the first time, and some did not have enough status, so they could only sit here.
Alyssa is much more high-end, she has a dedicated room.
The halfling took Alyssa through the corridor and came to a room. He handed her the room card respectfully, lowered his head and said: "Your room has been tidied up. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me." Let us know via the pager anytime.”
The room looks like a luxurious living room, with leather sofas, expensive rugs, crystal chandeliers and everything.
The wall on one side is one-way transparent, and you can directly see the auction scene in the center of the theater. Of course, if you don't like to stand up and watch, you can also project the scene through the projector in the room.
It's much more comfortable than the single seat down there.
