Chapter 486 One of the Stones
Hao Ren watched Igor fall straight back and was helped up by the housekeeper halfway. He couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Vivian: "You left a mark? If you didn't tell me earlier, I would have known this." There is no need to take out the painting, now we have to return that thing to others.”
"Didn't I just remember it," Vivian curled her lips, "And what are you going to do with this painting? If you really want to see it, I have a real person here."
Hao Ren glanced at the portrait with regret: "Tsk... This thing looks quite valuable, but it's a pity that Lily poked a hole in it."
By this time, Igor had recovered his breath and stared blankly at Hao Ren and the others. Finally, his eyes fell on Vivian: "Witch?"
Vivian nodded. Seeing that Igor was about to pull away again, she quickly added the second half of the sentence: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here to settle accounts with you. Relax, relax, and take a deep breath - your ancestor I was much calmer than you back then.”
Vivian is telling lies with open eyes. The ancestor of the Andre family fell to his knees when he saw her...
Igor clenched the buttons on his chest with his hands, and his knuckles turned pale from too much force. He seemed to rely on this to confirm the reality in front of him and avoid passing out again. He stood tremblingly, his face full of uneasiness: "Then why you came today..."
"Help you deal with this evil spirit," Vivian waved her hand, "In fact, I never thought that you were the descendants of that kid back then."
Igor looked nervous: "It's not because our ancestors broke the agreement back then..."
Vivian waved her hands dumbfounded before the other party finished speaking: "Stop talking, stop talking, you have spent three hundred years talking about what happened back then. It doesn't match the situation at all. Damn, okay? The matter of spiritual curse has nothing to do with your ancestors, and I will not impose any punishment - in fact, I even feel a little sorry for you... Okay, we can talk about these things later when we have time. What matters now is the past. That stone, I hope you descendants haven't thrown away your ancestors' belongings. If you really lose it, I might be really angry."
Igor waved his hands hurriedly: "Of course, of course... Oh, I mean of course it is not lost. It is kept in the highest room of the castle. I will take you there right now."
Igor led a group of people towards the castle. Hao Ren looked up at this ancient building with a history of three hundred years before stepping into the gate. On the gray-black outer wall of the castle, he saw large tracts of ice and snow gradually breaking and dispersing into the air like waking up from a nightmare. The entire castle seemed to be wrapped in a layer of crystal clear broken crystal dust and gradually sublimated. Under this wonderful and strange scene, the oppressive atmosphere shrouding the Andrei Castle is gradually fading away. The angry spirit has left, and the strange magnetic field and spatial phenomena it produced are also retreating deep into the ground. The slanted sunlight shines on the mottled arc top of the castle, bringing a feeling of warmth and brilliance for the first time.
The servants in the castle have received the news that the evil spirit has been defeated, and they are coming out of the room one by one in surprise. Feeling that the cold receded and the weird atmosphere that had always lingered in the castle gradually subsided, these people who had served the Andre family for many years were immersed in joy.
The corridors of the castle were full of servants walking around asking each other for news, and a thin figure suddenly ran down the stairs nearby and walked through the crowd to the group of people. It was Anna. The poor girl finally got rid of the nightmarish voice whispering in her mind, and her spirit seemed extremely high. As soon as she saw Igor, she rushed forward impatiently: "Dad, that voice, that voice! That voice is gone!"
"I know, I know," Igor couldn't bear the excitement, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor in front of Vivian. He held Anna's shoulders, "It's over, it's over, good boy, evil spirit Won’t happen again.”
Anna stared at Hao Ren and the others with wide eyes. Her face was still as pale as a serious illness, which made her gaze a little scary: "Did you really kill that evil spirit? But how is this possible..."
As soon as Hao Ren saw Anna, he couldn't help but think of the inexplicable things she mentioned about "Tanagus", "High Energy Polymer State", "Sublimation" and so on. He suddenly realized that the weird knowledge in Anna's mind might be It is the key to uncovering the secret of the angry spirit: "Anna, do you still remember the angry spirit...that is, what the evil spirit told you? Tanagus or something."
Anna couldn't help but tremble when she heard this word, but after the murmur in her mind faded, she was no longer affected by fear, and those weird knowledge were now just incomprehensible memory fragments to her: " I probably... still remember some..."
Vivian looked at Anna: "Remember your memories carefully. I hope you can tell us exactly what the evil spirit told you. Of course it doesn't have to be now - you can go back and rest first to regain your energy."
Anna looked at Vivian doubtfully, and then glanced at her father curiously. Igor quickly said with a straight face: "Follow her orders, my child, she is the master of the Andre family."
Anna was immediately surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions. Igor asked her to go back to her room to rest now.
"Let's check on Akeem's condition and let Dr. Freeman confirm it," Igor called after Anna. "He may still need to recover for a while, so don't be too busy untying the chains!"
"She doesn't look so scary now," Lily muttered. "When I saw her before, I thought she was weird from top to bottom."
Igor led Hao Ren and others to the top floor of the castle. There were no servants walking around on this floor. There were only four guards in black clothes guarding the two entrances. These four guards were obviously Andre. The most elite bodyguards of the family, they never left their posts even when the castle was shrouded in supernatural phenomena. Igor greeted the guard, and then pointed to a metal door that looked extremely heavy: "It's behind this door."
After entering a complex set of passwords and verifying iris and fingerprints, the treasure house door slowly opened, revealing a brightly lit small room inside.
There are only a few display racks in the room, on which are placed some of the most precious collections of the Andre family: two ancient swords, some useless documents, and a gray-black, insignificant piece of paper. The eye-catching triangular "stone".
"Oh, that's it." Vivian saw the small stone in the center of the room at a glance. Igor lowered the bulletproof glass shield with an alarm device around the stone. Vivian waved to the stone, and the latter turned around on his own. flew over.
"Hmm, you would have thought this was a stone just three hundred years ago." Hao Ren took the "stone" and looked at it over and over. "This is obviously a man-made thing."
It is a device only the size of a cigarette box. Its texture is somewhere between stone and metal. It has a few raised ridges on one side, and some small pits can be seen on the other side. Hao Ren had never seen anything like this before, but its regular polishing marks were undoubtedly the result of superb processing techniques.
This is the "stone" that Vivian gave to Andre's ancestor three hundred years ago.
"Yes, it looks man-made at first glance, but no one knows what it is. It can only be called a stone." Vivian curled her lips and turned to look at Igor, "Tell this to Ander. The Lie family brought huge wealth? How did you do it? "
"It's gold." Igor took the small device and stroked its ridges in a certain order. "I can also demonstrate the process of it opening a space exit, but the things inside have been destroyed by my ancestors. Taken away, the Andre family’s initial wealth came from this..."
As Igor finished speaking, the front end of the small device in his hand suddenly projected a ray of purple light. The light passed through the air and actually opened a space crack with a side length of about one meter. Igor placed the small device on the table next to him. He walked over and stretched his hand into the space crack, with an awe-inspiring expression on his face: "Incomprehensible supernatural phenomena... I can put my hand in, and from here Something was taken out or stored in it. It was originally filled with gold—the witch's property."
Vivian stared blankly at the "baubles" she had handed over to her human followers with a deathly expression on her face: "...I almost got rich back then..."
Hao Ren patted her shoulder: "Don't think too much. If this thing is really in your hands, it probably won't last three days and you'll have to throw it away."
Vivian almost cried: "Why didn't I study more back then?"
Lily pointedly pointed out: "Because it's you, you didn't study for a while, and even if you did study for a while, you couldn't find the password - you can't make a fortune in this life. This is a big mistake." The will of the universe.”
Vivian: "..."
