My Endless Life.

Chapter 536 The Girl in the Coffin
The underground secret passage, which had not been visited by anyone for many years, once again welcomed a new "guest".

The one-eyed girl and Hongye entered together. The wall behind them seemed to have the ability of automatic sensing. The moment the two stepped into the secret passage, it quickly closed.

clatter--

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a monster being killed was heard, and the surrounding ground, ceiling, and walls all lit up with a faint light.

Magical power that came from nowhere activated the lighting device in this passage.

"It's been so long, but it still has magic power... Is it energy conversion..."

There was a special glow in the one-eyed girl's only remaining eye.

She gently stroked the patterns on the wall, full of curiosity about this place.

Hongye behind her looked around vigilantly, and asked the one-eyed girl carefully:
"You... this so-called secret treasure of the God of Alchemy is just displayed here so openly? There won't be any traps, right?"

Hongye certainly didn't know who the God of Alchemy was or what his past was like, but since he was named after "God", he must be a very powerful person.

It's ridiculous that the things left behind by such a person can open the entrance to the secret storage with just an ancient magic wand.

In Hongye's opinion, there should be at least some traps, or at least some tests before you can enter smoothly.

The one-eyed girl shook her head upon hearing this. She looked towards the long and narrow passage that stretched into the distance and whispered:

“Although he is known as the God of Alchemy, in fact, that is just a posthumous reputation. If it weren’t for his daughter Angel, no one would know what he left behind.”

"I see...posthumous honor..."

Hongye suddenly realized.

The one-eyed girl nodded and continued forward with Hongye: "According to official historical records, Li Qi was less than 20 years old when he died. At that age, although he was already the strongest in the world, his application of alchemy was still mostly in the theoretical stage. He did not have the time to turn his theory into reality.

"So, although the knowledge he left behind is very valuable, the 'mechanism' he used to protect this knowledge is relatively backward. After more than a thousand years of updates, modern alchemy has long surpassed everything he knew at the time.

"He is hailed as the God of Alchemy only because the theories he left behind still influence the world today..."

The one-eyed girl explained softly.

This is also the reason why she came here.

No matter what kind of treasures Li Qi, the God of Alchemy, left behind, they only have cultural value but not practical value now. Only the knowledge compiled by him and only seen by Angel is truly priceless!

Angel is a world-renowned alchemist. Even the Grant family is famous because of her, but she herself did not leave behind many theories.

She even hid most of her father Richie's theories, and very selfishly took everything for herself, leaving only some scraps for the Grant family of later generations.

As a result, the Grant family became weaker and weaker with each generation, until now, it has been completely lost in the long river of history.

It is said that Angel had only completed one tenth of the theory left by her father until her death.

Not even close.

Angel has already become world-famous even though she has mastered only one-tenth of it. The one-eyed girl does not need to master too much. She only needs to find a little bit of minor theory to become world-famous!
This is why she came here.

The fluorescent passage is a straight line going straight forward. It may bend occasionally, but it will not branch out.

Therefore, the two of them traveled smoothly along the way, without encountering any traps or tests.

They didn't stop until they reached the end of the road.

They had to stop because they had reached the end.

“…Dead end?”

The one-eyed girl walked to the wall at the end of the passage and reached out her hand to feel the patterns on it.

She frowned, took out her wand again, and tried to open the wall in front of her using the method of opening a passage, but when the bright light fell on the wall, nothing happened.

"Damn it! This place has been changed!"

The one-eyed girl re-examined the lines, and then discovered relatively 'new' traces of alchemy left on them.

This is an alchemical pattern that was only developed in recent centuries. It did not exist more than a thousand years ago!

This means that someone came here at most centuries ago and changed the alchemical patterns!

who is it?

Descendants of the Grant family?
The one-eyed girl hammered the wall unwillingly.

She finally found this place, but it turned out to have been reinforced by someone, making all the magic she prepared ineffective.

After all, her magic is used against ancient techniques and is not very effective against modern techniques.

Moreover... the newly arranged alchemical runes are also very complicated. They were obviously arranged by a master, but I don’t know who did it.

"So, you have no other choice?" Hongye couldn't understand the magic patterns here, and asked behind the one-eyed girl.

The one-eyed girl looked up at the wall, staring at it unwillingly for a long time, before she took out a small bottle from her arms with great pain.

The small bottle was only slightly larger than a thumb, and was a noble golden color with complex alchemical runes engraved on the surface.

The small bottle contains a red liquid.

Hongye looked at the liquid and blinked: "This is..."

"Blood, the purest blood of the Grant family." The one-eyed girl bit her lip, looking very unwilling: "... This blood is the last blood left by the purest bloodline of the Grant family hundreds of years ago. Using a little bit less... Tsk, but there is no other way now."

The Grant family has disappeared. Not only the direct descendants, but even the collateral descendants are nowhere to be found.

Especially the last descent from hundreds of years ago, it is even more precious.

The one-eyed girl only had two bottles of blood left, and she had originally planned to use these two bottles of blood after finding the secret hiding place left by Angel.

But now... since this place is related to the Grant family, perhaps the blood of the direct lineage can also open this place.

The one-eyed girl decided to take a gamble and use one of the bottles here.

"Stay away from me." The girl ordered Hongye to stay away. After Hongye stood far away, the girl opened the seal of the vial, walked forward, drew out the blood with her magic wand, turned the blood into a sphere, and finally hit the center of the alchemy array in front of her.

Snapped--

The blood hit the wall and splattered everywhere. The bright green light on the wall flickered for a moment, but then there was no sound.

The one-eyed girl gritted her teeth upon seeing this.

It seemed that she had made a wrong bet. The direct blood of the Grant family had no effect on the formation.

Just when the one-eyed girl was about to think of another way, suddenly, the formation pattern, which had originally had no reaction, burst into dazzling light!
Om-!
The light was extremely dazzling in the slightly dim space. The one-eyed girl and Hongye subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands, but then they felt their bodies sink, the ground shook, and rumbling sounds continued to ring out.

"What...what happened?!" Hongye was confused.

The one-eyed girl opened her only remaining eye and looked around. Seeing the walls around her falling down and the ceiling above her head extending, she guessed something:
"It's the elevator! Blood is useful!"

The blood was indeed useful. It activated the mechanism here, turning the ground where the two people were standing into an elevator that kept climbing upwards.

At this speed, they would reach the ground in no time.

The guy who took away the secret treasure of the God of Alchemy and transformed this place into this, wants them to leave?

Just as the one-eyed girl was thinking this, the elevator suddenly stopped. The two of them stood firm again and looked around, and found that this was not the ground, but another special room.

The room was small, filled with bookshelves and scattered parchments, with some discarded puppet parts piled in the corner.

There was a large round table in the center of the room, on which were placed various alchemical tools and several crystal balls that had lost their magic power and become dull.

The design drawings were scattered on the table as if they had been abandoned.

The most eye-catching thing is the coffin standing upright behind the round table.

The coffin was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with the Grant family's exclusive family emblem on top. It was not completely covered, and the covering coffin lid was gradually becoming transparent as the two looked over.

You can vaguely see the girl lying inside.

Judging from the girl's appearance, she was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face, like a doll that had been adjusted countless times to become perfect.

Her eyelashes are very long and her hair falls to her hips.

Her long, straight and smooth hair was dark gold at the bottom and had golden highlights on the top. The gradient color made her hair look particularly beautiful.

Just like Sleeping Beauty in the fairy tale.

“This…this is…?”

Hongye was distracted for a moment when looking at the girl in the coffin.

The one-eyed girl also stared at the coffin for a long time.

The two wondered why the coffin was here, and were even more curious about the identity of the girl inside the coffin.

Just as the one-eyed girl wanted to go forward to find out what was going on, her movements suddenly stopped, and her brown pupil shook violently, expressing her shock.

Because just as she approached.

The girl in the coffin opened her eyes!
……

Meimei was still a little dazed until she returned to her room.

She felt that her experience that day was like a dream.

The modified Cat No. 2 crashed and was taken hostage by a stranger of unknown origin. Although Meimei felt that he had no ill intentions and for some reason she always felt a sense of familiarity with him, it was an indisputable fact that she had only known him for one day.

After only knowing each other for one day, the other party was willing to stand up for her and even asked for the Grant family's ancestral land for her? !

Could it be that... he has a crush on me!? I am the heroine in that novel! !?
When Meimei thought of this, her face turned red. She held her cheeks with her hands and twisted her body.

Oh, although I have never thought about this kind of thing, but... if the boy is so strong, handsome, gentle... and cares about me... it's actually not impossible...

Meimei thought about it and secretly looked at the sofa beside her.

Then, he met the blond young man's gaze as if he was an idiot.

The look in the blond young man's eyes made Meimei's inner thoughts disappear without a trace in an instant.

...Meimei is indeed a little off the track, and sometimes her head is filled with all sorts of random thoughts...but even she can understand one thing.

Someone who looks at her like this, without trying to hide his contempt, is probably... unlikely to like her.

Meimei is very self-aware.
