While everyone's attention was focused on the auction item, Qinchuan was observing the mysterious auctioneer's every move.
Night Serenity noticed that Qinchuan did not care about the auction item at all. Instead, he was observing the mysterious auctioneer. She asked Qinchuan in confusion, "Do you think there's something wrong with this auctioneer?
Why do you keep staring at him? "
Qinchuan shook his head and replied, "I'm just curious. Don't you think this auctioneer is too calm and rational?"
Qinchuan recalled the auctions he had attended before and said to Night Serenity, "The auctioneers I've seen before all put their heart and soul into the auction. They all hoped that the auction item could be sold for a sky-high price and spared no effort in promoting it. However, this mysterious auctioneer didn't care at all. Other than briefly introducing the auction item at the beginning, he kept silent until the end of the auction. He didn't care at all about how much the auction item was sold for."
Qinchuan then turned to look at Night Serenity and asked, "Is it because it's a black market auction?"
After all, this was Qinchuan's first time attending a black market auction. He wasn't sure if this was the normal operation of a black market auction or if it was a problem with the auctioneer.
Night Serenity didn't know how to answer Qinchuan's question. After seriously recalling the few black market auctions she had attended in the past, she said to Qinchuan, "I've seen other auctioneers before, but most of them weren't much different from the auctioneers outside."
Hearing Night Serenity's words, Qinchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "In that case, he's been like this since a long time ago. His calmness shouldn't have anything to do with the black market auction. It's his nature."
Qinchuan then turned to look at Night Serenity and asked, "Can you arrange it for me?
I'd like to meet this auctioneer. "
Night Serenity was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "Why do you want to see him?"
"A guy who has been an auctioneer for so many years should know something," Qinchuan smiled and said to Night Serenity, "I think he should be a good breakthrough point."
Night Serenity frowned and said to Qinchuan, "Since this person can be the auctioneer of the black market auction, he must have some status in Section 99. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to pry open his mouth."
Qinchuan chuckled and said to Night Serenity, "Everyone has a weakness. If these are useless, it means that it's time to use force."
Seeing that Qinchuan had made up his mind, Night Serenity didn't try to persuade him anymore. Anyway, with her and Qinchuan's strength, even if they caused some trouble, they could deal with it calmly. They weren't afraid of messing it up.
Besides, Qinchuan never did things that he wasn't confident in, so Night Serenity decided to believe in Qinchuan's decision.
The auction didn't last long. After four hours, the auction came to an end. It was already late at night. While the others were thinking about how to snatch the treasures from the people who had bought them, Qinchuan and Night Serenity had quietly left the scene and walked toward the backstage of the auction.
It could be said that there was no obstruction along the way. All the guards had succumbed to Ye You's powerful aura, which was unique to the overlord of the Body Integration Stage. When Qin Chuan and Ye You arrived backstage, they were surprised to see that the auctioneer was nowhere to be seen.
Qinchuan glanced at the backstage and said to Night Serenity, "He won't come."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Night Serenity asked curiously, "How do you know?"
"There's something wrong with him."
Qinchuan looked at Night Serenity, "He doesn't dare to appear in front of us. He's deliberately avoiding us. Just now, I deliberately asked you to suppress those guards with the pressure of the overlord of the Form Synthesis Stage not only so that we could get to the backstage faster, but also to test the auctioneer. He sensed your aura, so he chose to retreat!"
Night Serenity was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully, "I controlled my aura very well just now. Only people in the same stage as me could sense my aura. Is he also a powerhouse of the Form Synthesis Stage?"
Qinchuan laughed and said, "What if the auctioneer is the Chaos Overlord?"
This time, Night Serenity was completely stunned. The auctioneer is the Chaos Overlord?
How is that possible?
Night Serenity subconsciously wanted to refute Qinchuan, but Qinchuan didn't give Night Serenity a chance to speak. He asked directly, "When did this auctioneer first appear in the black market auction?
I guess it must be after the Chaos Overlord reached the Form Synthesis Stage. "
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Night Serenity frowned slightly and said, "This matter happened thousands of years ago. I'm afraid it's very difficult to investigate it now."
"Then ask these guards." Qinchuan turned to look at the guards and asked, "What's the name of the auctioneer just now?
When did he appear in the black market auction as an auctioneer? "
In the face of Qinchuan's question, the timid guard answered almost without hesitation, "Sir, the auctioneer's name is An Kun. As for when he appeared in the black market auction as an auctioneer, I don't know. Because when I came here as a guard, that sir had already arrived."
Qinchuan asked, "How many years have you been a guard here?"
"200 years."
Qinchuan nodded slightly and said to the guard, "Who's the guard here for the longest time?"
"It's the villain."
The guard replied, "The guards here change every 200 years. I was supposed to leave here tomorrow."
Speaking of this, the guard's expression was extremely helpless. If he had known that he would encounter such a thing on the last day of his guard work, he would have asked for leave and not come.
Qinchuan thought for a while and asked, "A long time ago, did the guards of the black market auction change often?
How many times has it been changed before? "
Hearing Qinchuan's question, the guard replied, "If you count the villain, this is the fifth time the guards have changed."
Hearing the guard's answer, Qinchuan looked at Night Serenity and said, "The guards change every 200 years. This is the fifth time. In other words, it has been 1000 years. When did the Chaos Overlord reach the Form Synthesis Stage?"
"More than 1000 years. To be specific, it should be more than 1000 years. No more than 10 years."
Night Serenity gave a very specific answer, and the black market auction happened to start changing guards around that time. If these two things were looked at separately, there would be no problem. But if they were looked at together, there would be a problem.
At this time, thinking of Qinchuan's previous guess, Night Serenity couldn't help but take a deep breath. If this mysterious auctioneer was the Chaos Overlord, then for what purpose did he choose to hide his true identity in such a way?
Void Empire Lurker!
This was a very obvious answer!
