Chapter 278 Coming for Cao Kun

It turns out that Cao Kun wouldn't think that much about it.

But now, he couldn't help but think about it, and he already had a vague answer in his heart.

On stage, a mirror was pushed out, and just like in the video, its surface was covered with a black cloth.

According to the information Cao Kun knew, it was the picture frame that killed him.

Why do we cover up the mirror?

Cao Kun's eyes flickered, and he thought of many things.

The host began to explain the origin of the mirror: "To be honest, this is a very dangerous mirror."

Dozens of people have died before it.

The audience erupted in uproar.

Many people find it hard to believe that a mere mirror could have killed dozens of people. How could that be possible?

However, some people who knew the news in advance were not surprised, but rather felt curiosity, fear, and excitement.

Ignoring what the audience thought, the host began to introduce the mirror's magical features and its glorious achievements.

When the names of people who died from cerebral hemorrhage after looking in the mirror were heard, many people in the audience changed their expressions.

For example, Leonardo DiCaprio.

He shrank back, trying to get as far away from the mirror as possible.

But some people with a thirst for the unusual became interested.

Before death truly arrives, this kind of thing, imbued with a powerful sense of mystery, can actually pique the interest of some people.

At worst, we can just keep the camera on the black cloth and stop using it altogether.

However, this item has enormous potential for appreciation.

Many people are eager to try it.

Sure enough, once the host announced the start of the auction, the price soared to six figures and continued to rise.

Seeing that Cao Kun wasn't making a bid, Sophia asked curiously, "Don't you want it?"

Cao Kun didn't answer, but instead asked, "You said you knew from an insider that there was a murderous mirror in this auction."

“Yes,” Sophia confirmed.

Cao Kun: "Did you ask someone on your own initiative, or did an insider tell you about this magic mirror?"

"What's the difference?" Sophia asked, puzzled.

Cao Kun: "Don't worry about it, just tell me. Don't miss anything in the whole process."

Sofia thought for a moment: "First, the organizers sent me an invitation, and then I thought of you."

However, I know you weren't very interested in these kinds of auctions after the last one, unless there's something you really want.

I then specifically asked around to find out what items would be auctioned this time.

The other party told me about several items, including this murderous mirror. I knew you would be interested, so I contacted you.

Is there a problem with this?

Cao Kun still didn't answer: "Who is the person you're looking for? Do you know them?"

Sofia: "I don't know them, and I don't need to know them. In order to attract more people to the auction, I'll just call the official number and ask any of the staff."

Cao Kun: "Then it matches up."

Sofia sensed something was wrong and asked, "What happened?"

Cao Kun said softly, "Someone set a trap for me."

"Huh?" Sophia exclaimed in surprise, "Who?"

Cao Kun shook his head and said nothing.

He now realized that the mirror was aimed at him.

If he wasn't mistaken, that Dr. Wayne was actually an official from the US government.

After obtaining the mirror through deception, Dr. Wayne handed it over to the authorities in Country M.

Then they fabricated the story of the Kula Tree, and made the mirror disappear, leaving no remedy for the death.

Dr. Smith's grandson was furious that the mirror had been lost.

However, due to the strength of the United States, they dared not speak out against it.

Secondly, this mirror is dangerous, and keeping it at home would be a potential hazard. If it gets lost, so be it; you don't have to worry about when this "terror" will explode.

Within the M country's government, the department that keeps this mirror is likely that mysterious entity.

Now, that department has its eye on him.

As for the reason, it might be because of Bureau 17, or because of the case involving thousands of people and the deaths of even more people, or because he has been in the limelight recently, making some people jealous and unwilling to see such a prominent figure as him.

This country is, after all, a land of savages and fools.

In short, there are too many reasons to deal with him.

However, we also know that he is very powerful and not easy to deal with.

After all, they targeted him for 17 rounds, and those 17 rounds were over.

Robert from FbI targeted him, and Robert was blown to pieces.

In this situation, without resorting to large-scale firepower and engaging in a direct head-on confrontation, the best outcome would be mutual destruction.

So, they chose to resort to underhanded tactics.

Given the official capabilities, they could easily find out that the Killer Mirror had fallen into Cao Kun's hands.

Since you, Cao Kun, are interested in this kind of murderous mirror, I'll give you another one.

Thus, this kind-hearted person, who wished to remain anonymous, donated this murderous mirror.

Even though the host has already told you that this mirror is dangerous and you shouldn't look into it.

But someone like Cao Kun, once he buys the mirror, how could he not look at himself in it?

If you take a picture, you'll get infected.

When Cao Kunzhen dies of a cerebral hemorrhage, the United States can easily reclaim the mirror and find another reason to confiscate his property.

The US government not only suffered no losses, but also made a huge profit.

Cao Kun is just another new soul lost in this mirror.

This scheme is simple, but the success rate is also very high.

After all, Cao Kun really wanted this mirror, and he would really look into it after taking it back.

The fact that the M country officials dared to set up this scheme shows that they have great confidence in this mirror and believe that it can kill Cao Kun.

This may be the result they arrived at after many deaths.

Of course, it's also possible that Cao Kun is overthinking things.

There was no such scheme at all; there really was a kind-hearted person who donated this mirror.

But what was the purpose of that person donating such a mirror?

Why did the murderous mirror, which had disappeared for so many years, suddenly reappear?

The others didn't share Cao Kun's ideas; they continued to raise their bids.

The price has now reached $5 million.

Cao Kun took out his murderous mirror.

The ghost mirror trembled incessantly, and bloody words flashed across its surface: "Master, make a bid quickly, take this mirror! I want to devour it, I want to devour it, ahhh..."

Cao Kun smirked and held up a sign: "10 million US dollars."

The scene fell silent.

Then someone else held up a sign: "$11 million."

Sofia asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Didn't you say this was a setup? Why are we still filming?"

Cao Kun said calmly, "A scheme set up by a group of scoundrels hiding in the shadows might be able to kill a tiger, a lion, or even an elephant."

But it could never kill a dragon soaring through the heavens.

"It's good that you have confidence." Sofia then asked, "Who set the trap for you?"

Cao Kun: "You don't need to know, it won't do you any good."

"Then I won't ask anymore," Sophia said tactfully.

Cao Kun raised his paddle again: "15 million US dollars."
