Our Family Is in Decline

Chapter 651 Elements Are Stacked

Audrey had no memory of what happened. She just felt like she was back to her carefree childhood.

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, as a member of the upper class, she didn't need to worry about survival. Enjoying a refined life was her daily routine.

Spending the day on horseback and the night in the dance hall.

The old nobleman had this routine every day when he woke up. Nothing else.

Until she grew up and married a richer family than theirs, but this was also the beginning of her nightmare.

During the day, she was the noble and elegant hostess of a luxurious manor. To outsiders, the relationship between the two parties was so intimate and humble, but at night she was the object of her husband's savage desires and drunkenness.

Finally, she had enough of the insults and abuses night after night. She chose to use murder to gain freedom and the rich inheritance.

Poisoning the wine, whispering compliments and comforting, watching her husband drink the poisoned wine, at this time she felt extremely happy in her heart.

Seeing her husband fall to the ground due to the poison, she sneered and remained indifferent to his request for help, watching his hypocritical apology slowly turn into desperate sobs.

There is no doubt that she succeeded. The loving appearance she pretended in the past made everyone not notice that the murderer was around.

Now everything belongs to her, and she has become the real mistress of the manor.

At that time, she thought she was the happiest, doing whatever she wanted, being pursued by countless men, and those so-called gentlemen were eager to please her and want to be favored.

However, several years of squandering and financial mistakes made the manor deeply in debt, and when the money was gone, the bees and butterflies that gathered also left.

Facing the creditors' collection of debts, she was about to be expelled and paced in the empty hall, anger and shame filled her heart. She didn't know what would happen to her after losing all this. In the end, only the bitter wine could give her some comfort.

Under the influence of alcohol, she shouted unbearable words to the portrait of her ex-husband, but also noticed that the possessive hand of her ex-husband in the portrait was pressing on her shoulder.

The brilliance depicted in the portrait reminded her that his ring was missing and could only be buried with him.

In order to maintain her social status, she would plunder her ex-husband's grave, take the ring on his knuckles, and even knock out the gold teeth in his mouth.

She called it "I want to take back what you owe me."

However, the cemetery is guarded by gravekeepers, and sometimes there are church people patrolling. Fortunately, the gravekeeper relaxed his vigilance because nothing happened for many years.

The two of them pulled each other in the cemetery. Compared with the gravekeeper's cowardice, her ferocity prevailed. When she realized that it would be difficult to do anything without killing the gravekeeper, she sneaked up and killed the gravekeeper with an iron pick.

Blood splattered immediately, and the warm blood dripping on her skin gave her a special feeling.

You must know that tomb robbing is a very bad crime. Once discovered, she will not only lose everything and fall from her high and mighty noble status, but she will probably have to choose between the gallows and the stake.

You can imagine the pressure she felt when she was almost discovered by the gravekeeper.

But the accumulated pressure was released instantly, and now she is the master of the cemetery!

That feeling simply made her fall into an unprecedented excitement, and instantly opened up her new world.

As if awakened, she plowed ten acres of land in one breath without feeling tired.

But she was dumbfounded when she entered the cemetery. After several years, she had not come to worship, so she had long forgotten the specific location and only remembered the approximate range.

In this case, it was impossible to go back and wait for the day to come again. She could only open the blind box in the dark and pick those tombstones that looked more gorgeous to dig.

Opening a coffin, the burial objects more or less made her feel a sense of harvest, and she worked harder for a while.

Soon she found the coffin of her ex-husband and got everything she wanted from the corpse that had long been rotten into bones.

But this kind of thing is far from enough, and more is needed to make up for the deficit caused by excessive spending.

This kind of thing only happens once and countless times, just like an addiction.

She quickly set her sights on those tombs that were built with heavy stones and buried deep underground.

Only those who are truly powerful can get this kind of thing, and they are not without defense. There are usually traps hidden in the tomb.

If the tomb owner is related to supernatural powers, it will be even more powerful. The tomb-guarding spirits are restrained by strange powers, and there are evil rituals...

Anyway, even professional tomb robbers may get into it in various complicated situations, not to mention Audrey, a novice who rushed in rashly.

But sometimes novices always have a protection period. Audrey randomly chose that place and found some cracked traps on the ground after going into the tomb.

As she went deeper, she found more messy scenes, such as flying knives and poisonous needles scattered on the ground or on the wall.

She seemed to be able to feel that someone was fighting with the set traps all the way, fighting with non-existent guys.

But these traces were covered with a layer of dust, as if they were very old.

This scene did not make Audrey, who was born with courage, retreat, but aroused her curiosity.

Even though she realized that the tomb had been opened by someone, she couldn't help but go deeper into the tomb.

It can only be said that the aura of a novice is invincible. When she came in, she saw not the looted main tomb, but an open coffin. The burial objects inside were enough to drive her crazy.

But the strange thing was that the corpse sitting in the corner had long been turned into a mummy. There were all kinds of strange things on the body, but only the strange pendant on the chest attracted her attention.

She didn't know what happened here, but she knew that everything belonged to her now.

Take away everything, including the mummy.

Simply restore the dug grave and eliminate your own traces.

As for the body of the gravekeeper, when she returned there, she found that several wild dogs from nowhere were gnawing on the body.

The constantly torn body caused the scene to be messy and there was no trace of the original one. It was simply God's help.

When she returned to the empty manor, her restless heart calmed down. She counted the harvest tonight. The treasures were enough to repay her debts.

Until she focused on what she got from the strange corpse.

Among the various strange tools and props, she found a small notebook from her bag, and it was the content of this notebook that revealed to her the identity of the mummy tomb robber.

This also took her into a world she had never touched before. Magical power, dangerous tombs, various traps, and various strange props and rituals, all of which made her deeply addicted.

When she came to her senses, she lay on the hall, laughing uncontrollably. She was full of joy, and the light in her eyes was even brighter than the brilliance of the stolen treasure.

That is, everyone in the manor was fired, otherwise her madness would spread throughout the city the next day, and it would be said that she was crazy because of debt.

Only Audrey herself knew that she had lived in vain for so many years before, what a gorgeous manor, what exquisite clothes, what a noble status, what a luxurious life...

All of this is just a cage!

When the armed officials came to expel her, they were surprised to find that the main door of the manor was lifeless and half-closed, and the luxurious carpet was in a mess, covered with dust and fallen leaves.

And on the floor of the hall, a pile of treasures shone brightly, but the mistress of the manor had disappeared...

As for what she did?

Of course, she digested the notes and practiced opening treasure chests in other places.

In reality, Lance savored Audrey's story.

It was probably about a rich girl who married an even richer family. She originally thought that she would marry into a wealthy family, and then continue to play music and dance, but who knew that she would meet a ruthless person.

She had been living a life of luxury since she was a child, so she could not stand this anger. She poisoned him to death and used the old man's gold coins to support a gigolo.

But she did not have the ability to manage the family business. She indulged in pleasure and lost all her family property in a few years. She turned around and went to rob tombs.

By chance, she got a bargain and got the inheritance of a tomb robber who died for some unknown reason, and then began to pursue the excitement she longed for.

It was also very abstract. The gravekeeper was so timid that he didn't even dare to check it. He just shouted a few times at the door of the cemetery.

If Lance was at the scene, he might have caught the crappy guy long ago, and the opening sentence was "Madam, you don't want to...".

In addition, all the dangers of the first big tomb were broken, and she got good things and the accumulation of a tomb robber, which directly helped her solve the most difficult start.

Lance also understood why she wanted to challenge Hamlet after hearing those things. It was completely a psychological problem.

She had everything she needed since she was a child. All her needs were met. After her husband died, she had a lot of money to spend. She didn't have any goals or ideals. After indulging in lust, her heart became more and more empty and more difficult to be satisfied.

The experience of tomb robbery gave her great stimulation, and the pressure formed by various complex emotions such as fear and anxiety accumulated.

Until she successfully escaped with the treasure, all the pressure was released at this moment and transformed into a strong pleasure.

In short, her numb body can only feel pleasure through the strong stimulation brought by constant adventure.

The adventure here is literal, that is, seeking the excitement of tightrope dancing.

Lance prefers to use another word to describe it, that is-seeking death!

The interesting thing is that this person always makes excuses for herself when unconsciously describing those events, blaming all the reasons on her ex-husband and everything around her, thinking that it is not herself who is wrong, but the world.

Lance disagrees with this, it is purely Audrey's own problem.

Margaret's life of carefree life cultivated her upright and kind character, but she became a fairy. The individual differences are too great.

It is undeniable that there are reasons for unhappy marriage and domestic violence, but Audrey's cruelty is hard to conceal.

The gravekeeper did not offend her, and did not even know her. She killed him without doing anything.

Similarly, Audrey was also directly aiming for the purpose of killing when she was arrested. If it were not for the fact that the people sent by Lance to arrest were all masters, ordinary police would probably have killed many people to catch her.

A vicious, greedy, hedonistic, profligate, brainless, likes to shirk responsibility when something goes wrong, a standard fairy.

An alcoholic, domestic violence, hypocritical, and twisted control.

Lance can only hope that the fairy and the domestic violence man are locked up, and don't let these two guys come out to harm ordinary people.

But it's a pity that the domestic violence man is not strong enough, not as cruel as the fairy, and directly explodes the gold coins.

She used his money to squander and support a gigolo, and in the end, the treasure chests in her grave were opened, and the burial objects were used to fill the deficit. It can only be said that the two are a perfect match.

"Where's the notebook? Where is that thing?"

Lance searched all over her body but couldn't find the most important thing. Sometimes knowledge is the most precious.

"Ah Ba Ah Ba..."

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows~"

After getting the answer, Lance couldn't help but sigh.

Because she had hidden some important things in the wasteland outside the town before entering Hamlet.

To enjoy the pleasure of escaping death, there are naturally corresponding preparations, including food, potions, weapons, and of course money.

In other words, normally, even if she was really chased in the town, she could kill the police, then take some things from the northwest direction prepared in advance and escape from the town, and finally go to the wasteland to get supplies, ensuring that even if everything was lost and only one person was left, she could quickly recover.

Sure enough, although this guy likes to make trouble, he is still alive today, so he still has something.

As for why she didn't bring the notebook, it was because this thing could confirm her identity. Although thieves and grave robbers are both stealing things, there is only one word difference, but the difference is still very big.

The gold-touching talisman greatly increased her strength, and it was more secretive when hidden on her body, and ordinary people could not recognize it.

I didn't expect that it was hidden in the underwear and escaped Laura's simple search, but it was directly taken out by Amanda, and it was identified as a pure tomb robber at a glance.

"Go to sleep, and forget everything after a sleep."

Lance controlled her to fall into a deep sleep, and then he tidied up the scene and sat back in his seat to deal with the affairs at hand.

Soon, the teams that went out to search brought back the blood-stained clothes wrapped in cloth, intact.

Now we have her testimony, the lost items have been found, and the clues such as footprints and wax drops have also matched.

With evidence, how should the case be tried?

"So how should it be handled?"

When William said this, several people looked at the lord, only Amanda looked at Audrey on the ground, with some confusion in her expression.

The effect of the medicine should not disappear so quickly, how can she sleep so soundly?

"This matter is not suitable for public disclosure, otherwise it is likely to cause copycats to continue to provoke the police." Lance has already made a rough arrangement for this matter, "Lock her in a sanatorium, starve her for a few days, and then slowly deal with her after this matter has calmed down."

"We caught her, shouldn't we deter those people? Why would it cause provocation?" Disma was a little puzzled.

Lance was not surprised by their doubts, and explained patiently.

"Because..." (End of this chapter)
