Xiu Yu wanted to attend the auction to get the spirit stone.

The auction was anonymous. In order to protect the privacy of the guests, they would wear a mask made by the organizer after entering the venue. The mask even had a voice changer. This way, Xiu Yu would not have to worry about her identity being exposed. The only problem was where to get an invitation to the auction.

For underground auctions like this, invitations were usually not given to public figures, unless the public figure had dabbled in the gray area.

Xiu Yu specially went back to New York for this invitation.

If she couldn't get it, naturally, someone else could.

When they arrived at a bar, Xiu Yu walked through the noisy crowd without changing her expression. She sat in front of the bar and pushed a card out. She tapped the table with her fingertips and lowered her voice. "I want to see your boss's wife."

The bartender glanced at the card. "Please wait for a moment."

He put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the card and walked upstairs.

Xiu Yu turned his head to look at the bar. The customers in the bar were all wearing masks, and their movements were a little stiff as they danced. There was even a person sitting in front of the piano, playing something that was so unpleasant that it made one's ears bleed.

It was also a skill to play the piano so badly. Nicole's appreciation of the piano was getting more and more touching …

Xiu Yu pressed her palm down. A strong airflow surged out and flipped those people over. They fell to the ground and turned into pieces that dissipated in the air.

"Dorothy!

Are you bored? "A soft female voice suddenly shouted." You're destroying my illusion the moment you come! "

A loli wearing a gothic style dress and holding a small umbrella walked over from the iron stairs. She clapped her hands unhappily, and the bustling scene from before reappeared.

Xiu Yu took off her hat and sunglasses, revealing her beautiful face. She reached out and touched the woman who walked past her. The woman turned into a shadow and passed through her until she walked a few steps before returning to her physical appearance.

This was Nicole's mutated ability — creating illusions. It was useless, but Nicole liked it very much. She often created some strange things to make herself happy.

"When will your bar have a normal customer?" Xiu Yu looked at the non-humans created by Nicole and chuckled helplessly.

"You're finally admitting that you're not a normal person?"

Nicole put the small umbrella on the bar. The small umbrella had crystals hanging from it, and they clinked together with her movements. "There's an old saying in China that one never visits a temple without a cause.

Tell me, what's your purpose here? "

"I want an invitation to an auction."

"Which auction?"

Xiu Yu showed her the photo. "The underground auction in New York on the 12th of this month."

Nicole glanced at the photo casually, then her gaze was fixed on it. She climbed up the bar and stood there. Her leather shoes tapped on the bar counter as she looked down at Xiu Yu. "You're also here for that strange stone?"

"…" She was not tall enough to reach the bar counter. Nicole, you're very scheming.

"Why do you say 'also'?

Could it be that someone else has come to you to ask for this invitation? "

Xiu Yu carried Nicole down and placed her on a high chair. She carefully instructed, "Don't stand so high. You'll hit your head on the cabinet above. It's very painful."

"No one.

Other than you, who else would come looking for me just because of an invitation?

It's a waste of the favor I've accumulated with great difficulty. "

Nicole crossed her short legs and fiddled with the crystal on the small umbrella with her fingers. "I just received some news that many people are secretly eyeing this stone. There are all kinds of people, including the Justice League, the Avengers, the X-Men, Hydra … Anyway, there are all kinds of people, and there are many rich people. The possibility of you getting it is not very high."

Xiu Yu smiled at her. "It doesn't matter, as long as I guarantee that it won't fall into the hands of the villains."

"How do you know that those so-called heroes are really the same on the outside?!"

Nicole's voice suddenly became sarcastic. "Even those superheroes who claim to be righteous have an ugly dark side. How can you be sure that those heroes won't covet the power of that stone after getting it?

Everyone has delusions! "

Nicole's attitude toward heroes was not the same as ordinary people's attitude toward heroes. They were either die-hard fans or high-level haters. Her attitude toward heroes was very rational.

She believed that no matter what kind of superpower a hero had, as long as they were human, they would inevitably have unbearable thoughts.

Xiu Yu gently patted Nicole's shoulder. "Yes, everyone has delusions, but that's the difference between heroes and ordinary people. They can restrain their thoughts that they shouldn't have, but ordinary people may not.

At critical moments, they are always reliable.

”

"As long as they are human, there will be times when they lose their rationality. I don't believe that no hero can be as rational as a machine!"

Xiu Yu's eyes curved. "But I'm willing to believe that they won't make mistakes on important matters."

"Are you stupid and sweet to trust others?" Nicole was about to scold her when she met Xiu Yu's gentle and helpless gaze.

Nicole looked at her gentle and tolerant manner and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. "You're so gentle to everyone. If you're not stupid and sweet, you're a saint …"

Xiu Yu chuckled and shook her head slightly. "No, I just chose this personality. I want to become gentle. I'm just …" She paused, and her voice became soft and ethereal, becoming a little distant. "I'm just atoning for my sins …"

Nicole stomped her left foot on her right foot and thought to herself, "Oh no, I seem to have reminded Dorothy of some unpleasant memories." She changed the topic. "What kind of stone is this?

How can it attract so many people's attention? "

"It's not a good thing." Xiu Yu suppressed her emotions just now. "But it's very powerful.

So, it must not be allowed to be obtained by people with bad intentions. "

Nicole jumped down from the high chair. "The invitation letter was personally written by the organizer, and the staff has already been decided. It can't be given away, so I really can't get it. However, one invitation letter can allow two people to come. I know someone who has it, and he will definitely be happy to help you."

"Who?"

"Charles Xavier."

Nicole picked up the small umbrella and walked out of the bar, the crystals clinking together. "He's a very gentle person. He will definitely be happy to help you."

Xiu Yu put on her sunglasses and hat and tilted her head. "You mean Professor X from the mutants?"
