Fulou also commented below.

Although it was only d-grade, it was a very rare soul-type item. Considering the recent rumors, the value of soul-type items also rose along with the tide. The buyer clearly stated that.., the buyer needed to provide one c-rank item or at least three d-rank items in exchange.

Zhang Heng found Dasi on the Forum and opened a chat room, pulling the latter in.

This was the situation. The background of the seller had been investigated. However, according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, I could only reveal what he was willing to reveal. He was a member of one of the three major guilds, however, this sale is his private act. However, he didn't just find one of our chambers of commerce. As far as I know, there are at least four other chambers of commerce that are interested in this item.

Four typed.

— moreover, there aren't only four buyers behind these four chambers of Commerce. Take Our Fook House for example. If you are also interested, then we have six buyers on our side alone.

Are so many people interested?

Soul-related items had always been rare. Normally, it was fine, but now, things were different. There was a rumor that the owner of larue was going to return to the human world, the players had to be prepared, so the price of soul-related items had been raised. You Asked Me to keep an eye on these items for you, but most of them were bought by the big guilds as soon as they were released.

Then why hadn't this item been bought by the big guilds?

Zhang Heng asked.

Because the new God and the old God had already started a war, everyone couldn't care less about this matter for the time being. Many Gods had summoned their own agents. Oh right, you're also an agent, right, you were once the number one on the list of agents in the war. Did your God not summon you.

Not yet.

Then he was lucky. It seemed like he wasn't involved in the war yet.

Zhang Heng thought about it and typed again.

Do you have any physical photos?

Yes, there are videos too. I'll send them to you.

After saying that, Dasi sent a file over. After Zhang Heng unzipped it, there were two videos and 12 photos. He showed the item called [ immune crystal ] from various angles, whether it was a video or a photo, it seemed like there was no problem at all.

— our building has contacted several other chambers of commerce. We've gathered together and discussed it. Since there are so many buyers, we might as well hold a small-scale auction. The date is set for tomorrow night, the venue is the vice building's headquarters. If Mr. Simon is interested, I can help you register your name first.

— Don't use the code name Simon. Just Call Me Mr. G.

— no problem. It is our responsibility to keep our clients'secrets. You can also wear a mask to the auction tomorrow night. I will send you a password to verify your identity.

— thank you.

Zhang Heng typed the last line and exited the chat room. Then, he stared at the photo and fell into deep thought.

Even though he didn't notice anything wrong during his conversation with d4, the auction still raised a hint of wariness in Zhang Heng's heart.

The reason was simple. The timing was just too coincidental. Someone happened to pass him a pillow when he was dozing off. Zhang Heng had to consider the possibility that there was a trap behind this.

Even though he had yet to completely reveal the fact that he was the master of lalaiya, Zhang Heng did not expect this secret to remain hidden forever. After all, the few people who knew his identity.., other than the little succubus beside him, whether it was Isis, Nyala totip, Kronos, or even the bartender, all of them were filled with uncertainty.

Each of them had their own plans and goals. Even if they were still happy with each other, it was very likely that they would turn against each other. However, Zhang Heng did not plan to give up on this item because of the possible danger.

This was because he realized that he had underestimated the influence and control that the thing in the city under the ice had on him. Before Saiji left, she had warned him that the amulet in his body had completely lost its effect, furthermore, she had helped him block the first wave of mental attacks, so naturally, Zhang Heng had to be extra careful after that.

Unlike what Miss Succubus had imagined, Zhang Heng didn't go to bed last night. He had set aside an extra 24 hours to rest and relax. However, just like what happened at the hotel last time.., his ability to time-freeze couldn't stop the soul attack from the other side.

After meeting sage, Zhang Heng could more or less guess the reason. The blood of that thing flowed through his body, just like how Zhang Heng could control a portion of the other party's supernatural power, and the thing in Subzero City could also share his power.

Furthermore, Zhang Heng could feel that as time passed, the thing's adaptation to time-freeze was getting better and better. Last time, it only allowed him to stay for 30 minutes, but this time, he could almost enter and exit time-freeze freely.

That's right, the weariness in Zhang Heng's eyes was due to the nightmare of time-freeze. This time, he dreamed of "Myself"being imprisoned in a dark hall, waiting for the day when the Stars returned to their rightful places, what accompanied him was only a long time and endless nightmares.

Only on certain days could his soul temporarily break out of the cage and come into contact with the souls outside. However, those souls were too weak, like ants, unable to withstand his gaze, they all fell into a state of madness.

Zhang Heng didn't know how long it took him to break free from the nightmare. When he opened his eyes, his clothes were already soaked through. He had slept for nine hours, but he didn't feel any recovery at all, fortunately, Zhang Heng ate something and tried to sleep again. This time, he finally fell asleep normally. Even so, his mental state only recovered about 80% after he woke up.

This was also the reason why Zhang Heng wanted to get the [ immune crystal ] . Therefore, he didn't plan to miss the auction. However, considering the danger he might face, he had to make preparations in advance.

Zhang Heng first knocked on the door of Miss Succubus'room and told her that he would be leaving for a period of time. Miss Succubus wasn't surprised, because in her impression, Zhang Heng wasn't a person who would sit around and wait for death, in fact, she wasn't used to the latter staying in the hotel all day.

So she asked Zhang Heng what she could do.

"It's simple. You just need to keep an eye on the situation with the gods for me,"Zhang Heng said. "Let me know if there's any new developments. Not only that, but also Gaime's whereabouts."
