Collectors of Beauty World

Chapter 8 Unexpected
After Lu Xiao went deep into this world, he discovered a problem.He's not alone in his pursuit of these rarities.

Lu Xiao, who had half stepped into the other world, first came into contact with a profession called treasure hunter.

Most of these people are ordinary people, but they walk between reality and the other world.Search for things that are rare, rare, legendary, or even supernatural.

The inner world of this world.Not a secret to many people.Therefore, whether it is the other world or the real world, there are a lot of people buying these things.

Lu Xiao was worried at first that his behavior was too conspicuous.But after entering the industry, I realized that I was just a rookie among rookies in this industry.

And because the entry time is too short, there is no credibility at all.Therefore, ordinary treasure hunters would not look for him if they had goods.

Lu Xiao also spent a lot of money and managed to establish a relationship with a few hunters.And those guys can only be said to be third-rate hunters.I contacted Lu Xiao several times, but all I got were fakes.Not to mention collectibles, there isn't even anything that can be called an antique.

Lu Xiao originally lost confidence in them.But this time, the other party vowed again that he had really obtained something incredible.He even sent a picture to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao opened it and found that it was a cylindrical glass container.The container looked old and dirty, but it was in good condition with no signs of damage.There are also some cryptic runes and things like that on it.

The most important thing is what's inside the container.That thing turned out to be a human head! ! !A shriveled, ugly head of unknown age.

Seeing that the other party was online, Lu Xiao typed directly to ask.

"As a treasure hunter, is this the treasure you want to sell me?"

The other person seemed to have been waiting for his reply.Replied quickly.

"Don't get mad, I promise it's a good thing. I dug it up from a churchyard that's over 200 years old."

Lu Xiao: "Are you very proud of this?"

Treasure hunters are also divided into levels.If you want to get treasures, you have to find them yourself or trade them with others.

High-level players, solo or in teams, go deep into uninhabited lands and explore ancient legendary ruins, ancient tombs and the like.He even directly traded with the higher mysterious side of the underground world.

At their level, what they get is really good things.Any amulet, dagger, etc. on the body is often enchanted.

That model basically means not opening for three years, then opening for three years, or just opening for business.

For those in the middle level, be a second-hand dealer and explore some less dangerous ruins.Make some specious things to fool those customers who are neither good nor bad.

The person opposite Lu Xiao was a low-level treasure hunter.These guys neither have the guts to hunt dark creatures, nor do they have the connections to trade with mysterious members of the underground world.Most of them have a job that barely makes a living.In my spare time, I would make some small things to deceive people.

That's right, it's a lie.Ninety-nine percent of the so-called treasures obtained by these people are lies.When Lu Xiao first entered the industry, there were at least a dozen treasure hunters selling him a silver cross that was said to have been used by a certain saint.

If it weren't for the dozen or so crosses that were all the same, Lu Xiao would have almost bought them all and tried them all one by one! !

The most common method used by these guys is to dig graves.And digging church graves.

After members of the church die, religious items such as crosses and Bibles are usually buried with them.If the deceased was a very devout church member during his lifetime.These religious items will have certain effects.Effects such as warding off evil spirits or expelling new ghosts.

But in fact, everyone knows the virtues of church personnel.There is only one in a million that has this effect.In most cases, one is still fooled.

Lu Xiao sometimes wondered whether these guys would silently say God's blessing while digging the church graveyard.

Just digging out a human head from the church cemetery was an operation that Lu Xiao really didn't expect.

"Bring it over and have a look when you have time. As long as it's true, I'll accept it."

Lu Xiao was not interested, so he responded casually to the other party, ignored him, got up and went to bed.

Around midnight, around burned villas in the suburbs.A group of unknown people in black robes are standing around and gathering.

"Any clues?"

"Not yet, the fire is too big and almost destroyed all the clues."

"How did they die?"

"Killed by shotgun."

"Including little girls?"

"Yes."

After a brief silence.One of the men in black robes said.

"I remember that when Smith was in charge, a girl escaped."

"Yes, it alarmed the police and the media at the time, and the matter was very big. We failed to clean her up. She was also the first suspected target. But we don't think she has the ability to kill a scavenger team."

"Temporarily seal this incident. The Holy Axe Cross has been aware of it. From today on, the martyrs will enter a state of concealment. If anyone violates it, internal cleanup will be carried out.

Also, time is almost up in Portland.Let everyone prepare, if you miss it this time, you will have to wait another 700 years.So, if someone hinders the plan, think about the consequences. "

The group of people quickly disappeared into the night, as if nothing had happened.

The next day, Lu Xiao was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a worn jacket, holding a package and waiting anxiously.

Stephen, that is, the rookie treasure hunter who cooperated with Lu Xiao.

Open the door and let the other person in.Lu Xiao threw him a bottle of beer slightly impatiently.

"What about things?"

"Here it is." Stephen quickly handed over the package in his hand.He himself was looking at Lu Xiao's shop.

The decoration of this store is actually average.Lu Xiao had not put much effort into running the business.It's just used as a facade.But for Stephen, a store in such a location was not something he dared to imagine.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fire in his eyes.

On the other side, Lu Xiao was opening the package.His body trembled slightly, but then he suppressed the abnormality in his body.He said with a normal expression.

"That's it, a human head."

Stephen was anxious at the time.

"Lu, this is not an ordinary human head. Look at this container and the patterns on it. These should be some kind of sealing runes. I am a professional treasure hunter. This thing definitely has a history.

You have to know, I got this from the church cemetery in DC.Although the church is not big, it has a history of more than 200 years.Think about it, historic churches, cemeteries, and sealed heads, aren’t these elements together attractive enough? "

Stephen said, rubbing his hands excitedly.Lu Xiao noticed that his hands were shaking slightly and his eyes were a little bloodshot.It's obviously a state of addiction.

Lu Xiao was not interested in a church with a 'long' history of 200 years.I almost laugh every time I hear this statement.But there is no way, this is the fact of this country.

"Tell me about that church, where exactly is it?"

"On the border of Washington and Idaho, in a small town called Sleepy Hollow."
