Chapter 54 'The Girl Before the Mirror'

The auction officially began, and the artworks were carefully brought up.

Artwork is very similar to tourist attractions. If you don’t understand the history and stories behind it, it will just look like that.

I feel like it’s just a painting or a handicraft, why is it so expensive?

For those who don’t understand, 50 yuan with free shipping is too expensive.

The value of a work of art is more about the story it represents.

A story that arouses sadness, vigilance and resonance.

On this point, no professional host can speak as well as Dior.

It can be seen that Dior is indeed from a British aristocracy. It is hard to say in other aspects. He has really learned a lot about things related to style.

Although Dio felt uncomfortable having Zhang Mingchu next to him, Gwen's admiration for his profound knowledge offset this discomfort.

Zhang Ming was listening to Dior's introduction on one side, and observing the entire venue on the other side, with his eyes focused on Norman Osborne.

Pieces of art were auctioned, but Norman Osborne never made a move until a Picasso painting came up and he held up a sign.

The official starting price was US$10 million, and Norman was the first to hold up the sign and quoted US$50 million.

No bidding, no hesitation.

At the same time as the bidding started, the price was increased five times. This kind of quotation that was determined to win stunned everyone at the scene.

One person can tell that the reason why Norman Osborne appeared on this ship was for this painting.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the painting. The auctioneer raised his hammer and struck it three times to signify that this round of auction was established.

"Congratulations to Mr. Osborne, we will personally deliver this "Girl in Front of the Mirror" to your home after it disembarks from the ship."

Just when the guests were guessing what secrets there were in this painting, only Zhang Ming understood Norman's mind.

This is a resonance.

"Girl in Front of the Mirror" depicts a girl looking in the mirror. She looks young and beautiful outside the mirror, but her face in the mirror is distorted and her pupils are blood red.

The girl is stroking her slightly bulging belly, which represents life and desire.

Zhang Ming thought of Norman's final experience, from a gentle businessman to a murderous Green Goblin, just like the girl in the painting, two sides of the same body. In the end, the demon will be born out of the desire to kill and destroy.

This painting really suits him.

But... he would take the initiative to buy this painting. It seems that Norman's good days are coming to an end.

After the auction, people entered the stage of purposeful socializing, holding wine glasses and looking for conversation targets. Only young people like Dior wanted to go there and play.

At this time, a waiter walked up to Norman and whispered a few words in his ear. Norman showed a surprised expression at first. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he nodded and followed the waiter into the elevator.

Zhang Ming counted the floors and found the elevator on the fifth floor.

Dior said to Gwen with great interest: "I will take you to the bar on the third floor. The bartender here will make a strawberry-flavored drink, which is very delicious, and it is non-alcoholic with milk added."

Gwen blinked her big eyes and said, "Okay."

Dior's heart beat faster because of Gwen's adorable expression. Then, he saw Zhang Ming blinking at him in the same way and said, "Let's come together. I like to drink strawberry milk the most."

Dior's heart almost stopped beating.

Dio's inner irritability level is +999.

It's not that Zhang Ming wants to be a lightbulb. Since he wants to track him like a spy, he always needs a few "civilians" as cover. Dior, a simple British guy, is simply the best cover.

The three people entered the elevator, and Zhang Ming tried to press the fifth floor button.

No response at all.

Gwen pointed to a card swiping area: "The highest floor our guests can reach is the fourth floor, and above that is the private area. Without a special card swiping, the elevator cannot go up."

The second and third floors are the entertainment area, and the fourth floor is the guest room. Norman got off the elevator on the fifth floor, and Zhang Ming and others were on the third floor.

Zhang Ming and Norman remained vertical, separated by one floor. The distance between the two people was close to the limit of the third-angle camera, and the images they could see became limited. Fortunately, the sound was not affected.

Zhang Ming has also considered whether to go to the fourth floor, but the fourth floor is full of guest rooms, and the space for walking is limited. Moreover, wandering alone in the corridor will definitely attract the attention of the security guards. It is better to stay on the third floor and move around.

More free.

The waiter brought Norman to an office, knocked on the door, and when he heard the voice behind the door letting them in, he opened the door, motioned for Norman to go in, and then closed the door.

"Mr. Osborne, please sit down. You can just call me T. It's an honor to meet you."

After searching all night, I finally found Mr. T!

Zhang Ming feels that this matter is getting more and more interesting. From his perspective, he can only see two pairs of leather shoes. Judging from the size of the shoes, Mr. T is a tall man.

Roy's description is very apt. Mr. T's way of speaking is very mechanical. Every word is too standard and pops out one word after another. It doesn't look like a living person talking at all.

Mr. T opened a box and pushed it over: "Authentic Cuban cigars."

Norman picked up one, and Mr. T took out a lighter, lit it for him, and lit another one for himself.

The two men puffed away the smoke. After a few seconds, Norman took a long breath and leaned on the sofa.

"Mr. T, thank you for the painting. It is a considerable amount." Norman said, "Do you want to talk to me?"

Norman saw a copy sample of "Girl in front of the Mirror" at an art exhibition. The imitation was a huge shock to him, so he began to search for Picasso's original work.

He will personally attend this auction because the invitation letter clearly states that this auction will auction "Girl in Front of the Mirror".

Unexpectedly, as soon as Norman auctioned the painting, the waiter told him that the host hosting the dinner was willing to give the painting to him for free.

In exchange, I hope Norman can spare a few minutes to come up and talk.

A few words can be exchanged for fifty million US dollars. For ordinary people, this is a good thing, but for Norman Osborne, he is more curious about the owner of this ship than the money.

What do you want to do.

Understand his needs in advance and hold this auction deliberately just to "talk" with him.

As an excellent businessman, Norman sensitively felt that there would be a transaction here.

An interesting transaction.

Mr. T continued in a robot-like tone:

"We are very interested in Osborne Group's limb regeneration technology. Through some internal channels, we learned that the biggest obstacle in current limb regeneration technology is that human body energy cannot meet the needs of regeneration."

"It just so happens that we have recently developed a bio-energy supplement. Just a small dose can provide the human body with a huge amount of bio-energy. I think we can form a perfect cooperation."

"Oh?" Norman raised his eyebrows, his expression unchanged, but his heart was beating faster and faster.

He felt his lips were dry, and the long-lost tension surrounded Norman Osborn.

Some people think that the Osborne Group does biomedicine to make money

Some people think it is to benefit mankind.

In fact, Norman did it for himself and his son.

The surname Osborne represents a legendary family.

Every young man from Osborne has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

Excellence, humility, and motivation are synonymous with them.

But while God bestowed Osborne with talent, the devil also placed a curse on them.

Family genetic disease!

It is almost impossible for the men of the Osborne family to get a good death. They will be like an epiphyllum, blooming with brilliance, then quickly withering and dying.

Norman wants to change this fate, and limb regeneration technology is the most important part. However, the human body is too fragile. After many calculations, the human body cannot bear the burden of limb regeneration.

His subordinates even proposed a crazy method of mixing lizard DNA into the body to improve the body's self-healing ability.

Mr. T said: "If it is convenient, I can show you the effect of the medicine with your own eyes."

Norman took a deep breath to calm down the excitement in his heart.

"That's perfect," Norman said.

Mr. T stood up and opened the back door of the office.

There is a long and narrow corridor with mirrors on both sides and a solid metal door at the end.

Behind the door is a spacious laboratory. Norman and Mr. T are standing behind a huge one-way glass. A thin woman is lying in the laboratory, and next to the woman is a treadmill.

Mr. T walked to the console, where there was a prepared suitcase. He opened the suitcase and felt a burst of cold air.

Two palm-sized glass bottles filled with light blue liquid lay quietly in the box.

"This is the original solution of the medicine. Due to time constraints, there are only two finished products for the time being. I will ask Mr. Osborne to take the other one back for careful study later."

Mr. T picked up one and placed it in a recess of the console. Under the control of the device, the glass bottle slowly entered the console and was finally injected into the woman's body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The unconscious woman suddenly sat up, her blood vessels bulged, showing a light blue color, and her body twitched slightly.

tick tick tick

A large amount of blood flowed from the woman's nose. She gasped for breath, and her breath turned white mist at normal temperature, which showed how hot her body was.

"Go run."

The woman is like a puppet, obediently obeying orders, turning on the treadmill and maximizing the speed.

This is a unique treadmill, with an astonishing speed. The woman, who is as thin as a reed pole, runs wildly with her legs, nosebleeds dripping from her nose, and the tracks of the treadmill are stained red.

Even so, she still ran, kept running, until

Click!

She ran too fast and broke her calf!

The treadmill threw the woman to the ground. She seemed to feel no pain, and her legs unconsciously made running movements on the ground, consuming the energy accumulated in her body.

The woman's body data was monitored on the console. Norman looked at the completely unreasonable values ​​and was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, the woman died and all the values ​​returned to zero.

Mr. T said: "Mr. Osborne, are you satisfied with this experiment?"

"Very satisfied." Norman took a deep breath, "Next we can talk about cooperation."

He turned around, stared at Mr. T with a pair of deep eyes and said, "Can the real owner come out and talk?"
