Chapter 83: The dove takes over the magpie's nest (please read it!)
late at night.
After Chen Lun left Pompeii Manor, he went straight to the old site mentioned by the Viscount.
To the west of the inner city, close to the ocean, the Port of Lona stands here. The purple moon is reflected on the sea. At this time, several huge ships are docked, and many trackers can be vaguely seen, towing small boats loaded with goods.
Chen Lun withdrew his gaze and left the terrace at the end of the street.
Walked into the alley from the other side, turned around and arrived at the entrance of a manor.
This is No. 4 Bays Street.
However, the door is locked and the sign at the door has been removed, indicating that no one lives here and it is an empty house.
Chen Lun looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so he held on to the railing and jumped in.
He did not stay or enter the villa building, but went directly around to the back. Because it is recorded in [Philip's diary] that the inheritance was buried in the backyard.
"This is...?"
Chen Lun stopped.
He saw tombstones standing neatly in the backyard, separated by carved stones.
"It turned out to be a cemetery."
Chen Lun walked on the path paved with small stones and glanced at the words on the tombstone.
A few are members of the Pompeii family, and most are soldiers who died in the "Overseas Landing War". Looking at the epitaphs, it seems that they were all inscribed by Viscount Pompeii himself.
"These soldiers...are the Viscount's comrades? Or subordinates...?"
Chen Lun guessed.
He even found the tombstones of Mrs. Caroline's husband Henry and her son Oliver here.
"...my benefactor, the best friend who has entrusted me with my life."
This is Henry's epitaph.
"...Lovely child, excellent son, brave man."
This is Oliver's epitaph.
Under their epitaphs, there is the name and date of Viscount Pompeii.
There are flowers in front of the tombstone, but they have not withered.
Chen Lun sighed.
He continued walking inside and found a stone temple, the door of which was tightly sealed.
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, touched the crack of the door with his fingers, and immediately used the [Snake Sense] to spit out snake messages to collect pheromones.
"Someone has been here...but it wasn't Viscount Pompeii, or Lady Caroline."
Logically speaking, this kind of spiritual temple is usually a place where the bones of extremely high-status people are stored. Even if it is for worship, the door will not be opened easily.
Chen Lun increased his vigilance, opened the door and walked in.
The vertical pupils do not have night vision capabilities, but they can capture heat. At this time, his vision was dark, and he did not find any large creatures.
Vomiting the snake letter, he slowly came to a corner of the temple.
There were traces of looseness on a suspicious stone slab. He stretched out a finger and easily lifted the heavy stone slab, revealing the long steps below.
"There is actually a secret passage here..."
Chen Lun was surprised.
If he hadn't caught traces of someone entering here based on pheromones, it would have been difficult for him to discover this entrance.
Chen Lun put the sapphire earring on his right ear and touched the grape ring on his index finger. After checking his equipment for a moment, he walked down the aisle.
When we descended to a certain level, a bright light appeared in front of us. It was an oil lamp lit on the wall.
"There are really people!"
He is more alert.
At the end of the aisle is a bronze door carved with various animal and plant patterns.
Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, the bronze door was opened first from inside.
Bang!
A backlit figure appeared in sight, and a rough female voice immediately sounded:
"Hey! Look what I found?! A lucky grave robber!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman stretched out a big hand to grab it.
"Today is your lucky day, man, because you're about to move into a free new home, this coffin... haha!"
Bang! !
The two palms struck each other.
"Huh?"
The woman's laughter stopped, she made a confused sound, and took a step back.
"Extraordinary one?!"
The next second, the woman struck again, mist emerged from her body, and the faint sound of waves came from it.
With a straight punch, a spiral wind vortex appeared around the fist, blowing out the surrounding oil lamps.
Snap! Bang bang! !
Chen Lun used [Rhinoceros Crash] to turn his fist face into an exoskeleton, and punched it head-on three times.
But he soon discovered that the impact of each punch was resolved by the opponent's wind vortex and water-like movement.
The real harm is rare.
"[Deep Sea Faction] Extraordinary..."
Chen Lun secretly said.
He accelerated his attack speed in the next second, taking the rhythm of the battle into his own hands.
Use [Bear Strike], [Rhinoceros Bump] and [Stork Peck] back and forth, becoming more and more proficient.
A sound of ping-ping-pong-pang echoed in the closed underground tomb.
The more the woman fought, the more surprised she became. She couldn't see through the man in front of her, but she could tell that his strength was not inferior to hers.
"Thunder and lightning!"
She shouted angrily, arcs of electricity flashed between her fingers, and blue-white fluorescence flickered faintly in the mist.
But in a flash, she lost sight of the man.
"Where?!"
"Behind me!"
A plain male voice made her hair stand on end.
Boom! !
Chen Lun gave a backhand elbow, and the powerful impact hit the woman in the back.
She groaned and rolled forward. The arc in her palm extinguished and the mist around her dissipated. She stood up in embarrassment and turned her head to look at Chen Lun.
"Who the hell are you?!"
The woman asked in a deep voice.
Chen Lun glanced at the ornament on the woman's chest and felt enlightened.
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and casually covered his face, revealing only a pair of vertical green pupils. Rebecca had given him the handkerchief, but he had never used it, so now was the time.
"One of our own."
Chen Lun pretended to have a hoarse and deep male voice.
He immediately took out the black skull token that he had obtained from Dolly and waved it between his fingers.
"..."
In the darkness, the woman showed a speechless expression.
Your voice is obviously different from before, and you are pretending to be too amateurish.
And no matter how perfunctory you look at the piece of cloth covering your face, do you think this is just playing house? !
But she didn't want to worry about these things. According to the rules of the association organizer Black Skull, those who hold tokens can participate in the party.
"Come in, lucky...man."
The woman didn't want to say anything else and walked into the tomb first.
Chen Lun followed closely behind.
His vision turned from dark to bright, and he could clearly see the scene inside.
A crude incandescent light bulb hangs from the low ceiling, slightly illuminating the interior. Under the dim light, there was a wooden round table, with six people sitting there.
They all stared at Chen Lun, their eyes either cold or curious, calm or profound.
"He has a token of association, so I let him in."
A woman's distinctive rough voice came from Chen Lun's side.
He looked sideways slightly, and then he saw clearly the appearance of the woman he was fighting with - light yellow short hair, also masked, but with two scars on her eyelids. The eye sockets are deep and the eyes are sharp.
"It doesn't matter. Since you have the token, you are qualified to participate in the party."
said a burly figure at the head of the round table.
He wore a black skull mask, only his eyes were exposed, and his eyes were calm.
"I am the host of the association. You can call me Black Skull. What do you call me?"
Chen Lun looked at the seven people for a moment, then lowered his gaze and said in a hoarse and low voice:
"Spade."(End of Chapter)
