Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 371 Underground Auction

Di Xing once again realized the inhumanity of the nobles in Muwu Dulun, but what was more important at the moment was...

"And then?" Di Xing asked Yun Han.

"When I woke up, I found that my left leg was seriously injured. When I finally reached the spot where Tianxuan had fallen, I found her unconscious being taken away by a group of women with flower tattoos on their backs."

"A flower tattoo on her back!?" Upon hearing this key phrase, Lingyi could no longer care about her disguise and excitedly rushed to Yunhan.

"Was there a girl among those women who had silver hair in pigtails, bright red eyes, and was incredibly cute!?"

"I'm sorry, no," Yunhan replied calmly, unfazed.

"I...I apologize," Lingyi hurriedly apologized to Yunhan, seemingly finally realizing that her behavior had gone too far.

"So you want me to help you rescue Tianxuan from those women?"

"That's right. I'm seriously injured and have to call for outside help. Besides, you've met her before, haven't you? I heard from Lao Ru that you're not the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die."

"We found them; they belong to the underground auction house, Bai Xiang Lou." Upon hearing the keyword "flower bushes behind," Ai Xiao immediately pulled out her laptop and quickly started working, finding the results in the short time it took for Di Xing and Yun Han to communicate.

"You're really amazing!" Yunhan exclaimed. "The information I spent two days investigating, you gathered in an instant."

"An underground auction house?" Upon catching this frequently used term from the novel, Di Xing instantly became excited.

"So, did they use Miss Tianxuan as an auction item?"

Yun Han nodded with a stern expression.

Hehehe, Di Xing laughed inwardly. It's finally here! His own auction house storyline...

"An underground auction house... could it be Lu Shi?" Lingyi asked, her face full of worry.

"Ah Xiao, do you know where that underground auction house is?" Di Xing asked Ai Xiao.

Ai Xiao rolled her eyes at him. "If it were that easy to find out, this underground auction house would have closed down long ago. However, there's information on the dark web about their auction tonight."

Ai Xiao's fingers flew across the keyboard. "They're inside? What's this?"

Everyone crowded around Ai Xiao, staring at the computer screen. On the black website, a pop-up window with blue, white, and yellow colors stood out, displaying the words in Chinese characters: "Yellow! White! Blue! The Miraculous Three-Colored Girl, You Will Definitely Receive a Trip Worth It!"

"Ugh, this copywriting needs improvement!" Di Xing thought to himself.

Then he stroked his chin. If blue refers to Tianxuan, who has blue hair like Kamishiro Rio, and white refers to Lushi, then who does yellow refer to?

Di Xing pictured a happy little foodie happily munching on Youyou in her mind. Surely not? She's got pretty strong eating power.

“They’re very cautious,” Ai Xiao continued browsing the information. “It says that auction participants need to bring their invitations and wait for their rides at their usual, familiar locations.”

"I'm afraid you'd have to wear a blindfold as soon as you get on the bus, and then it'll be driving around for who knows how long before you reach the auction. That way, even the participants won't know exactly where the auction is."

Lingyi immediately looked at Di Xing warily, "How do you know so much?"

"That's how it's always portrayed on TV," Di Xing quickly explained.

"So we have to infiltrate this auction, but the question is, how?" Li Feihua said expressionlessly.

"Although the website lists the participants' names, they are all pseudonyms, and new members must be recommended by existing members to join."

"Could Ke Xue know? She looks like a mad scientist; she might buy some contraband on the black market," Di Xing said casually.

Upon hearing this, Ai Xiao immediately glared fiercely at Di Xing.

Di Xing immediately realized he had misspoke and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just saying it offhand."

"How do you know Sister Ke Xue's secret? What did she tell you?"

"??? She actually went there?"

......

"Yeah, after all, some materials can only be obtained on the black market," Ke Xue said lazily on the other end of the phone.

"But don't worry, everything I make is 'relatively' harmless."

Then I heard her mutter softly on the phone, "After all, no one can use the strong medicine they make. Wait, that Di Xing seems pretty resilient, maybe we can give it a try."

"Sister, don't even think about it!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you forgot that's your little lover."

"sister!"

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. I never imagined the black market would engage in such dirty transactions as human trafficking, but the underground materials trade I participated in and the underground human trafficking should be in different venues."

“Yes,” Di Xing had guessed this as well. “But are there people who are involved in both the buying and selling of materials and the buying and selling of people?”

"Oh dear, I don't even know if any of my peers are involved in the buying and selling of materials, so how would I know if anyone has participated in either of those transactions?"

"I don't think so," Di Xing said with a sly smile. "Sister Ke Xue, you should know very well which of your colleagues' research results used materials that can only be bought on the black market, right?"

"You're quick-witted," Ke Xue said with a sly smile after being exposed by Di Xing. "It's true that in our circle, it's common knowledge who buys or sells contraband materials, but since almost everyone does it, we don't worry about reporting each other."

"Among these people, are there any who often seem very sleepy? It should be said that their elven energy fluctuates quite a bit."

Upon hearing Di Xing's question, Ke Xue scratched her light blue hair.

"People in our circle are all pretty eccentric; there are quite a few who fit your description."

"Then I'll add some more restrictions: no assistant, not married, practically living in the research lab, and this research lab isn't affiliated with a university or similar institution."

Di Xing thought for a moment, "She should be around 40 years old, and quite gloomy."

"Aren't you talking about Jock?" Ke Xue on the other end of the phone showed a look of disgust.

"Does such a person really exist?" Lingyi asked, her face filled with shock.

"How did you guess? Do you know him?" Lingyi glared at Di Xing with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Can you please stop thinking so badly of me?" Di Xing was speechless.

"You must have deduced it, right?" Li Feihua asked calmly. "How did you deduce it?"

"First of all, the post says that a private car is needed for transportation, but in this world where everyone may possess elven power, simply covering one's eyes is not enough. With elven power, there are many ways to know where one has gone, and it can even directly threaten the auction."

"Therefore, I speculate that they will most likely need to be injected with some kind of liquid that has a strong sedative effect and can interfere with spirit power, so that they will fall asleep and be unable to easily call upon their spirit power."

"In that case, we can guess that they often doze off, and their spirit power fluctuates greatly."
