Chapter 698: They Are All Top Works of Art
In their eyes in May, Li Mo's life can be described as cheating. His rise is so fast and unstoppable that he is ranked among the best in the world in terms of net worth.
What's more important is that he has encountered three life-and-death situations. The first time was at Jinling Tangshan Resort, where he was assassinated by a dagger. The second time was on Ao Island, where he was killed by snipers and grenades. The third time was directly in the Indian Ocean.
There were earthquakes, tsunamis, and natural disasters all over the coastal countries. Countless people were killed, injured, or missing. But he managed to survive and brought back such a large amount of treasure.
This person almost truly lived like a god.
Since he felt that he was certain to die, Wuyue and Citou naturally did not dare to take that step easily.
Li Mo walked to the entrance of the passage and looked carefully. There was a second door ten meters away. Only when you open that door can you enter the real secret room. There must be unimaginable secrets hidden in such a basement with so many mechanisms.
The alien eyes looked at the ground again. There was no secret under the perspective. To pass through the corridor safely, you must keep your feet on the ground. In other words, there are irregular traps on the ground. Once you accidentally step on a moving ground, you will be
An immediate fatal blow.
"May, find some heavier things."
Go back up in May and take down the three iron lumps.
"Stand to both sides and don't stick your head out." Li Mo aimed at a place, threw an iron lump over, and then quickly retracted his head.
Bang, the sound of iron lumps falling to the ground.
Then they heard the roar of the wind, followed by the sound of dense metal hitting each other. Those sounds chilled the hearts of the three of them. They could feel the powerful and irresistible impact force. If it had hit a person, they would have turned into a hedgehog.
This round of firing lasted for half a minute, and then the sound of mechanical operation was heard, as if the arrows were being loaded automatically.
"Mr. Qin, how come there is such a terrifying mechanism underground in this antique shop?"
Ji Tou was still frightened, but fortunately Li Mo caught him in time.
When the sound of mechanical operation disappeared, Li Mo waited for a while before raising his head to take a look. Sure enough, the empty crossbows were filled with arrows again.
"I'll try again."
Li Mo threw out the second iron lump and immediately launched the first round of indiscriminate killing.
"Good thing, it seems that we accidentally caught a big fish this time. The original owner deliberately set up such a fatal mechanism, which means that there must be a shocking secret hidden in the secret room."
When the second round of launch was over, Li Mo listened carefully and found that the mechanical sound did not sound again.
"There is no movement, Mr. Qin, can we enter?"
Two rounds of crossbows are over, but the even more terrifying automatic firearms killing array is still to come.
"What's the rush? I'll try again."
Li Mo aimed at the back half of the aisle, and then the third piece of iron flew towards the distance.
Puff puff puff…
An even more frightening sound sounded.
"They are all equipped with silencers, otherwise it would be like a fierce gun battle."
After a minute, a full minute of non-stop shooting, it became quiet. Li Mo seemed extremely calm, but May and Ji next to him both had fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.
After a few minutes, Li Mo raised his head and took a look: "Xitou, go up and look for more iron lumps, and let's try more."
Thorny nodded and quickly moved a dozen rocks, followed by Dashan and three security personnel.
"You all stand back."
Although the danger had been eliminated, Li Mo still tried more than a dozen times. After confirming that there was no danger, he stood at the entrance of the corridor. Several flashlights shone in, and everyone's backs felt cold. The ground was littered with dense arrows and arrows.
Bullet heads, no matter who walks inside, will hardly be spared, even if you are wearing a bulletproof vest.
"I'll go over first, you guys wait here."
Dashan pulled him and said, "Mr. Qin, I'll come first."
"Then be careful."
Li Mo didn't argue with him anymore, since the danger was over anyway. Dashan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the passage. The distance of ten meters was so far. Except for the calm Li Mo, everyone else looked nervous.
Fortunately, the mountain passed through without any danger. After about three minutes, he shouted: "The crossbows and firearms behind the corridor wall have been removed, and you can pass."
Li Mo walked over first, and others followed.
"Mr. Qin, it's another door. I don't know how to open it."
They had already touched the wall in May, but the entire wall was smooth and there were no hidden controls anywhere.
"Why do you think this second door will also have a mechanism?"
Li Mo asked with a smile.
The few of them looked at each other, then Da Shan walked to the door and pushed it, and the door opened easily. As the door opened, dim lights lit up in the secret room.
Li Mo walked in and saw that the secret room was not big, but the air inside was very fresh and did not feel turbid or damp at all. There were oil paintings hanging on the walls.
There is no doubt that the oil painting that can be hidden here must be the best work of art in the world. Li Mo glanced at it, and sure enough, the brilliant circles of light proved his guess.
"Directly above this secret room should be the lobby of an antique store. A constant temperature, constant oxygen and constant humidity system is installed inside to provide maximum protection for the oil paintings here. In May, are you going to see if Steven is back? If he is already back, let him come down.
trip."
Steven used to be a high-end art trader, so he should be able to find some clues if he has more exposure.
Within a few minutes, Steven followed May into the secret room. There was still a bit of panic on his face, but as his eyes fell on the oil painting on the wall, his whole face showed shock, his eyes were round and his mouth was wide.
Slightly open and closed.
He walked up to an oil painting in two or two steps, looked at it carefully, and then said incoherently: "Oh my God, it's impossible, God, I can't believe it, this... this is simply incredible.
This is Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece “The Virgin Mary and Arnwind”, it’s unbelievable.”
Who knows the name of Leonardo da Vinci, but one of his masterpieces actually appeared in this secret room. Li Mo hurriedly stepped forward and took a closer look. This oil painting could be worth 100 million US dollars.
"This is Van Gogh's famous painting "Scheveningen Beach". It's so incredible, I can't believe it." Steven walked to the second oil painting, and then started mumbling again, "I must be dreaming.
,No, this is not a dream."
He patted his head and walked to the third oil painting, staring at it for two minutes with his glasses widened: "Oh my god, this is Van Gogh's masterpiece "Leaving the Church of Nuenen". It's crazy. The world is really crazy.
"
Van Gogh is also a famous person. Li Mo thought that he had bought Van Gogh's masterpieces in Europe back then. Even he could not have imagined that two of his masterpieces would suddenly appear in this secret room.
"Mr. Qin, can you slap me? I feel like I'm in a dream." Steven stood in front of the fourth oil painting, covering his forehead and leaning on his hips, as if he was about to collapse.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Li Mo was not familiar with oil painting, so he didn't have much impression.
"This painting is still Van Gogh's masterpiece "The Chestnut Tree in Bloom"."
There are three paintings of Van Gogh's masterpieces.
At this point, Li Mo also felt that something was wrong. Every oil painting was a masterpiece, but the person who collected them was actually a person with no children or relatives. This was a bit evil no matter how you thought about it.
"Steven, look at the others."
"The fifth oil painting is Cézanne's masterpiece "Boy in a Red Waistcoat"."
"The sixth oil painting is Degas' Ludovic Lepic and His Daughter."
"The seventh painting is Monet's masterpiece "Poppy Fields at Vetheuil"."
Steven kept patting his chest and gasping: "Mr. Qin, my heart is beating so hard. I need to sit down and rest for a while."
"Dashan, is there water?"
Dashan took out a small bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Steven.
Steven drank it in one gulp, took a few deep breaths and regained his composure.
"Are you okay?"
"Mr. Qin, something big is going to happen."
Li Mo frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion.
"If, I mean if... Of course, considering the protection measures here, there is no if, these oil paintings must be authentic. If I remember correctly, the seven oil paintings I just looked at are all stolen works of art.
"Steven looked around and saw a total of twenty paintings. He said with a little fear, "I suspect that these masterpieces are stolen works of art from major museums in Europe and the United States."
This is a den of thieves!
Li Mo couldn't help but cough slightly. It was most likely correct. No wonder there were so many good things in this antique store.
"Steven, please finish looking at the remaining oil paintings one by one, and then consider other issues."
Chapter completed!
