Chapter 33 Eternal Life, Returning
Gifts Seeing that they were going to continue upstairs, Wei En suggested: "Well, I'd better go with you..."
I must die clearly!
When the power of despair penetrated through just now, he really felt a little unfair...
He was obviously hiding downstairs, why was he the first to be unlucky?
Is it because he is the weakest?
"Okay, but wait until we go in first," Lacey nodded in agreement, "Arianna?"
"No problem, the heroic spirits are very excited."
The tentacles around Arianna swelled in a circle, obviously the force of despair just now will They are fed.
After saying that, the two of them ducked directly to the second floor and rushed into the iron door.
"Come on Wayne, let's go there too."
Marco held the staff, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I was worried that you would be affected, but I didn't expect you to adjust so quickly."
"No, I'm just afraid of being thrown to the ground again."
Wei En looked at him expressionlessly, and it was obvious what he wanted to express.
"Um, haha..."
Marco laughed twice, pointed at Lacey who was parked by the iron gate in front of him and said, "I'll go over and take a look first, maybe I'll find something."
After that, he ran away.
Wei En looked at his "escape" look and curled his lips, "Tina, do you think Brother Marco is unreliable?" "
Tina thinks Wei En is reliable."
"Oh? What a coincidence, I think so too. ."
After Wei En took the white-haired girl upstairs, he saw them all standing motionless inside the door, "What's wrong with you guys? This is..." ...
fuck?
With just one glance, his eyes were firmly locked by the horrifying scene behind the door.
It was as if the time around him had frozen, and an icy chill hit his heart.
The empty and quiet room in front of me was filled with mummies, like dried meat sausages, tied to the ceiling by ropes.
Their bodies are extremely thin, and their skin clings to their bones, as if they have been drained of the last drop of blood.
At the same time, these mummies all maintained the same posture -
hands crossed on the shoulders, feet together, showing a strange sense of ritual.
Each mummy has a bright red eye pattern carved on its body. The blood-red color contrasts sharply with the gray-white body.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp on the wall, the shadows looked extremely eerie and terrifying.
Wei En murmured: "Is this in the abyss of hell...?"
Even those huge eyes did not have such a big impact on him as the real scene in front of him.
"Three hundred and twenty-six."
Lacey's voice became low and hoarse, with a biting coldness: "It seems that we have found the more than three hundred missing people..."
Arianna's face was livid, and each tentacle Swinging violently, it made a whistling sound.
"People from the Despair Sect did it?"
"It should be, look at the ground."
Marco used his staff to lift a mummy in front of him and pointed at the ground and said: "The sacrificial ceremony is the rune circle commonly used by the Despair Sect. "
Sacrifice ceremony? "
Rune array?
Wayne looked in the direction he pointed.
I saw that the floor of the room was covered with complex and twisted runes, and dark red symbols penetrated like blood stains. Several ravines connected these runes, forming an intricate pattern.
In the center of the magic circle, there is a statue - it is a ferocious eye, with countless twisted arms carved around the eye.
They are intertwined, criss-crossing and blending into the eye, like vines covering the surface of the statue.
These arms were ugly, twisted, shriveled and skinny, just like those mummies.
The entire statue is shrouded in darkness, exuding distortion and madness, as if it is the source of all evil and despair.
"The faith totem of the Despair Sect...it seems to be correct."
Lacey took a deep breath and walked inside.
She used her hands to pick apart the shriveled corpses above her head, as if they were really sausages hanging there.
She didn't stop until she reached the statue in the center of the room.
"I really envy your case. This time I'm going to make a fortune again." Ariana said sourly when she saw her actions.
Make a fortune?
Wei En quietly pricked up his ears, how to make money?
Marco curled his lips and said: "Captain Ariana, don't forget, you will also have a share of the profits this time." "
These are the same,"
Ariana pointed at the mummies and said: "They are all corroded by the power of despair. Selling Give those guys from the Shadow School at least 5 shillings each." "
According to the rules of the ministry, you can get 10% of the income for helping solve the case."
"You really understand."
Marco sneered and stopped talking to him. , but watched Lacey’s movements inside.
So this is how you make money...
Wei En glanced at the scene in the room again. Wouldn't he have nightmares if he made too much money like this?
Not long after, Lacey dug out the statue and carried it out.
"Lacie, is my mission completed this time?"
Ariana's tentacles retracted from her body and returned to their original appearance. "That profit..."
Lacey glanced at him, "I won't miss you."
"Including this statue?"
"Everything follows the rules."
Arianna rubbed her hands with a smile on her face: "How embarrassing..."
"Shut up!"
"..."
Arianna quickly closed her mouth He made a few gestures with his mouth to indicate how to deal with the mummies.
Lacey looked back and said calmly: "Marco, go back and tell the city guards to come over and help move these 'trophies'." "
Okay."
Marco waved the staff in his hand: "Rose Oh, Manda." (Wind.)
A whirlwind surrounded his body, and then he disappeared in one step.
Spell?
Wayne thought with envy: When will he be able to use such a handsome spell...
At this time, Lacey waved and said: "Wayne, Tina, let's go out and wait, leave this place to Arianna."
" Huh? Lacey, I'm the assistant..."
"Huh?"
Arianna looked at her cold look and muttered: "I want to say, no problem."
Lacey glanced at him and went straight out. Room.
"Captain Arianna, please." After leaving these words, Wei En took Tina and followed him out of the house.
"Damn it!!"
Listening to the roar in the room, Wei En shrank his neck, "Tina, do you think Captain Arianna won't go crazy?"
Tina was as direct as ever, "Tina said he didn't dare. "
Wayne looked back and saw that Arianna didn't poke her head out, so he leaned into her ear and whispered: "Next time, you can say this more tactfully." "
Tina is very tactful, he doesn't dare."
"Okay. Well, you have the final say."
Wei En looked at the expressionless white-haired girl and shook his head helplessly.
He temporarily gave up teaching Tina what it means to be human and worldly.
When the two of them left the house, they saw Lacey leaning against the door, lighting a cigarette and smoking it, looking at the sky in trance.
Seeing her like this, Wayne guessed that she was touched by the scene inside.
I didn't expect that someone as careless as Lacey would have such a tender side.
"Captain, those people inside are really miserable, so don't worry too much. Although this is the first case I have come into contact with, I..." Lacey turned to look
at him and asked blankly: "What are you talking about? What? Don't worry about me?"
Wei En was stunned for a moment, "Uh, isn't it?"
"Haha..."
Lacey burst into laughter and kept patting him on the shoulder, "I, I was just calculating this. How many pounds can be earned from this case..."
Wayne's expression became embarrassed, "Ah,"
after laughing for a while, Lacey's face showed the same smile as when they first met him again, looked at him and said, "But, Thank you for comforting me, Wayne."
"No, you're welcome."
Who knew you were settling scores with that look?
Wei En asked speechlessly: "Have you calculated it clearly? The profit this time?" "
Not bad. This statue alone is worth 13 gold pounds. If you meet someone who knows the goods, the price can go up a lot."
Thirteen gold pounds pound?
Including those mummies, a 5 shilling would be 80 gold pounds,
so add it all together - nearly 100 gold pounds?
A lot of money!
Wei En instantly put the embarrassment behind him, "I just said that everyone involved in the mission was involved? Am I involved too?"
"Of course, as a participant, you get 5% of the profit, but..." Lacey looked at him with a half-smile, "It seems that someone still owes me 2 gold pounds." Wayne's expression changed again
. He became embarrassed and asked, "Just, just deduct it from this income, okay?"
What is five percent?
Five gold pounds...
is enough to pay back.
The smile on Lacey's face became even brighter, and her eyes turned into crescent moon shapes, "Then it's settled." "
..."
Wayne looked at her smile. Was she urging him to pay back the money?
Forget it, you can make some money, which is pretty good!
...
...
On the other side, after several city guards collected the corpses, they stood aside and looked in the direction of Wei En and others.
"Captain Guisepp, you have such a good relationship with Marco, can you ask him to open up a few more places?" "
Your kid also wants to participate?"
"Hey, I heard that there are many people from the Dumitru neighborhood at the reception. Rich girls, we want to go and have a look..."
Guisep looked at him and then at the others, "You all want to go?"
"Boss, we want to go too."
"Yes, Captain, Take us there too?"
Guisep raised his eyebrows and pretended to think: "I'll think about it and see how you perform."
"Don't say anything. I'll bring some cheese from home early tomorrow morning... "
Me too..."
At this time, a figure flashed out from the shadows, "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
Guisepp tensed up at first, and when he saw the person coming, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Marco, you almost Scared us."
"Looks like there's nothing good to talk about,"
Marco looked at him with a wicked smile, walked to him and said, "Tell me about it too." "
Of course I'm talking about the cocktail party you held. We..."
Hiss!
Guisepp looked at the dagger that penetrated his chest and asked blankly: "Ma, Marco, you, you... why?" "It's a
reception, I'm not very interested..."
"Captain!! Marco, I'm going to kill you!!"
Marco looked at the city guards rushing over with weapons raised, with an evil smile on his lips.
"Okay, it just so happens that I have lived enough."
Eternal Life, return gift!
