After her identity was exposed, she began to chase her husband to the crematorium

"Perhaps the organization believes that the hatred in this woman's heart will lead us to a path of absolute safety."

"So we have to use the Soul Crossing Technique at this time?" one of them asked.

The girl who cast the spell nodded.

"It's a time-consuming approach, but it definitely works."

At this moment, Pei Lei's memory was about to be completely broken by them, and now they were just one step away.

In fact, although Perei's soul was controlled at this time, she actually fell into a deep sleep.

Even in her subconscious, the person she had been thinking about was not Jingchen who had brought harm to her during this period, but the ruthless light who had gone away and left her behind after doing it.

Now, deep down in her heart, she still has a glimmer of hope for the light, so the memories deep in her soul reveal more of the face of the light.

In her dreams, she was often dating Guangming.

Only this time, her dream had changed.

I saw that there was suddenly a peerless beauty beside Guangming.

When she saw the girl, she was stunned.

"What's wrong, Perei, we are on a date, what are you doing here?"

"Besides, don't you think it's ugly to use my cosmetics to transform yourself into a tabby cat?"

Perei was trembling all over, her eyes fixed on the woman in front of her.

"Lacus..."

269.The secret door

In fact, until now, the person Pei Lei hated the most was not Jingchen, but Lux.This kind of hatred is almost deep in the bones, but the reason for this high-intensity hatred is also very simple, because in Perei's view, Lux, who has always been only suitable for herself as a foil, has turned over.

She suddenly turned from an ugly monster into a white swan, and she was also a white swan born and raised in the Magic City. This made Pei Lei, who was born as a commoner, very resentful.Growing up, because of her family, she has always been a person who admires strength. She admires the truly powerful people and scorns the false power. At the same time, she always feels that she should be a noble and should be on an equal footing with these people. .

It doesn’t matter if your family has money or if your family runs an auction house. If you are still uglier than me and your magic level is still very low, then you should be stepped on by me and never be able to stand up.

The twisted will bursting out from the heart of a man who has never truly won makes all hatred come very naturally.

However, after she claimed to be the winner, Jingchen completed a gorgeous comeback in front of her, and gave her a few big mouths without mercy. Not only that, Lux also completed a comeback, and the two of them There are two extreme turnarounds, one relies on his own cheating strength improvement, and the other relies on his appearance.

It's like Pere became a real loser overnight, and even now no one really cares about her.

Now seeing this scene in her dream again, the hatred in her heart could no longer be suppressed and completely burst out.

So the outside cultists judged their goals from this sudden change in aura.

"Demon City, the Skatu family, this family may be a breakthrough."

"That family has been at a low ebb since the failure of the fight with the Jing family. Now, even if it is a member of the alliance, it is already an abandoned family. In this family competition, the Skatu family is likely to become a merchant. family."

The family's hierarchy is divided into common people, merchants, nobles, grand palace nobles, and royal families.

Among them, Omiya Noble also means Alliance Noble. On top of this, there is actually an Alliance VIP family, but there are too few families with this title, so it is generally not used as a subdivision condition.

The people from the Hull Church set their sights on the Scato family, which had always been silent.

……

Today's Skartu family can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles.

In the alliance, they are already in a weak position. Since the patriarch of the Skatu family was basically defeated by Jingchen, the family has lost its prestige in the outside world. During this time, the family's business has been really bleak. In addition, the alliance Due to various disguised charges, the family has been unable to make ends meet.

One night a few days ago.

After handling the bill, Lux put the thick account book on the desk a little weakly, rubbed her eyes, and the dizzy feeling in her mind had just eased.

It has been a long time since the Skartu family has auctioned anything decent. In the past, the alliance would send out a quota to its cooperative families from time to time, requiring each family to put some valuable things at the Skartu family for auction every month. Finally, The money earned was divided into dividends. When Lux's grandfather was still the patriarch, everyone relied on this method to gradually become a semi-leading auction company.

Lux also didn't expect that just because the family rejected the alliance's request to "form a strong competitive relationship with the Jing family", the alliance would treat their auction family as if it had abandoned them. The money would still be collected, but it would no longer be possible. No longer care about your family's life or death.

At first, the Presbyterian Council of the Skatu Family thought that with their many years of hard work in the Magic City, they would be the first people to think of when it comes to auctions, but they did not expect their revenue. But it dropped again and again. In just one month, their revenue had dropped to a stage where it could no longer be maintained.

There is no way, now Lux can only lay off employees at its auction house, and even the original three branches have been closed down to only one.

Then something unexpected happened. The two auction houses that they closed and chose to auction at high prices were bought immediately. Yesterday, Lux took the time to go to the two auction houses that had already sold. , but saw another auction shop taking their place and starting business inside.

And she also saw many regular customers of the Skatu family inside, and then she realized that her grandfather tried every means to establish a good relationship with the Alliance in the past, and the Alliance took care of their business. Those so-called regular customers were actually members of the Alliance. Informants, these informants are responsible for guiding customers to take care of their business.

Now that the alliance found that they were useless, they immediately began to support another auction house family.

Seeing people milling around in her old auction house, and the scene inside being very lively, Lux felt very uncomfortable.

She had no choice but to visit the Alliance Aston family in person.

The Aston family is in charge of the market economy. Basically, any family doing business in Shanghai will look at their opinions, unless you can find another backer, like the relationship between the Mirror family and the Audi family.

Lux begged the Aston family, hoping that the alliance would take more care of her. If the business improved, they would be willing to pay more monthly turnover to the alliance.

But the young master in charge of the Aston family, who was about the same age as Lux, looked at Lux with a strange look. She could still feel her whole body trembling when she thought of that lustful look.

"Okay, if Miss Lux can stay with me for a while, then there is no need to worry about the Skato family's business. We have plenty of ways to take care of you."

An inexplicable chill arose in Lux's heart. The young master of the Aston family in front of her was notorious, and she had heard about some of his evil deeds.

This sentence is also equivalent to asking whether I will sleep with you. If I will sleep with you, everything will be easy to talk about. If I won't, there will be no need to talk.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other elders of the Aston family who were slightly more righteous, this man had just restrained himself a little. Otherwise, Lux wouldn't have dared to imagine what kind of dirty words this man could say.

So she left Aston's house in despair, feeling sad.

When she came back, she made a special detour to see Jing's house. She visited Jing Chen and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Jing Chen, but was told that Jing Chen was not here now. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and leave. ?

She had to find a way to deal with the rest by herself.

If they want to change the status quo, it means they have to find another industry and find a way to transform.

But transformation is not easy, and a new kind of trouble is coming recently——

Now the Skartu family has no way to participate in the family competition.

There are not many people in the family who are truly powerful. The highest magic level is level [-]. There were originally people who were secretly trained by her grandfather to recover the troops, but these people were also killed by Jingchen that night. .

Now there is no one in the entire Skatu family who can fight against him, and she, Lux, has not practiced her magic power for a long time.

When she thought of this, she sighed louder and looked much more haggard.

dong dong dong~

At this time, the door of her room was knocked from outside.

"Please come in." She calmed down her mood a little and said.

Then the door was slowly opened from the outside, and her grandfather's somewhat frail figure appeared in her sight.

"Grandpa? Why did you suddenly get out of bed?" Lux said in surprise.

Grandpa looked at her, not smiling and chatting like before, but looking at her seriously.

As if he had confirmed something in his granddaughter's eyes, the old patriarch then said: "Lux, will you go somewhere with me?"

"Ok."

She agreed softly and followed her grandfather to the basement of the Skartu family.

There, there is a small dark door.

In Lux's childhood memories, this door, including this place, was strictly prohibited from entering, and everyone who came here would be scolded.

It is said that this small door hides the biggest secret in the entire Demon City...

270. The Skartu Family and the Phoenix

When Lacus followed her grandfather through the family hall and came to the bell tower that was previously destroyed by Jingchen, Lacus already knew where she could reach this time.

The clock tower seems to be an upright place, but in fact this place is the darkest place in the entire Skato family. Except for a few elders with the most seniority, no one in the family has been able to approach this place in these years. The family has no regard for this place. The building is completely closed and not open to outsiders.

But over the years, curious guests have still sneaked in and seen clearly what the bell tower looks like from the outside, but in fact it is just a church that can be seen anywhere outside.

No one knows why the Scato family wanted to seal a church, and Scato has no explanation for this.

The alliance also doesn't want Scato to stand up and explain anything.

It was also the first time for Lux to come here.

She followed her grandfather without saying a word.

Grandpa was faltering, but Jingchen couldn't be entirely blamed for this incident.

His body has already been unable to hold on for a long time. In order to allow the Scato family to survive the most difficult period under his management over the years, he has been taking some stimulating drugs without telling everyone. These drugs can make His body moves more flexibly, and to outsiders he looks like a healthy and strong person, but once he stops taking it, his body will immediately return to its previous appearance, even older than what his true age should be.

After he stopped taking the medicine, he turned into a 70-year-old man, lying on the bed. Everyone in the family felt pity for him.

Now, as if his grandfather had identified something, he used magic to open the door to the bell tower, which was on the wall directly below the bell tower.

After he used fire magic to lightly roast it, a hidden door appeared in Lux's sight.

She followed her grandfather to the sealed church, but their purpose was not exactly this church.

I saw my grandfather standing in front of the lecture in the church, making a deep bow towards the obscure pattern directly above the church, and then stretched out his hand and patted it gently on the lecture table.

Click!

There was a crisp sound of springs coming from under the lectern, and then you could hear the lectern moving to the left and right little by little until it was completely separated.

There is a rather hidden staircase under the lecture desk, which goes all the way down, like leading to hell.

Grandpa walked in calmly and motioned to Lux to use his magic to illuminate.

Lux nodded repeatedly and hurriedly released two balls of flame to surround the two of them. Then she followed her grandfather obediently and walked down the stairs little by little.

This is a spiral staircase that goes down deeper and deeper. There is a lot of unpleasant musty smell in the air, which once made Lux sneeze non-stop.

At the same time, the magic in her body that had been silent for some reason became more and more intense as they continued to go deeper.

It was as if there was some kind of presence in this place, calling her...

The two of them walked all the way down for more than half an hour.

It wasn't until the flames illuminated a narrow passage ahead that Lux knew they had arrived.

Grandpa motioned her to light the four old torches stuck on the walls of this place, and Lux ​​did so.

The four torches lit up one by one. When the light filled every corner of the corridor, there was another clicking sound from the wall in front, and another door hidden in the wall quietly opened.

Lux looked at the grandfather in front of him and took a deep breath. Then he turned around and looked at Lux with a serious face.

"You go in first."

"Um......"

Lux looked at the darkness deep inside the small door and bravely walked in.

Her flames followed, illuminating the structure of the room for her as she walked through the small door.

This is a large room with many strange patterns carved on the walls. In the center of the room, a red crystal ball is placed on a pillar. After so many years, the pillar looks like a It has been swallowed up by dust, but this crimson crystal is as brand new as if it was just put on today.

Grandpa then walked into the dark room. He looked at everything on the surrounding murals with extremely respectful eyes.

Then, Lux waited for the answer she was expecting.

"This is the Phoenix, kid."

"Phoenix?" Lux asked in confusion.

Grandpa nodded slightly and pointed to the painting in the center of the room, where the red crystal ball was facing. Engraved on the wall was a big bird flying high.

A huge bird with a red body and surrounded by countless flames.

Below this painting, you can still see hills, plains, and even some ancient buildings, but these things are extremely small compared to the big bird. This bird seems to be the biggest existence in the world. .

Then grandpa said: "When you were studying at the Magic Academy, did you ever hear about the mythical beasts in this world?"

Lux asked doubtfully: "Are they those monsters whose magic power level is close to the god level?"

Grandpa shook his head and said: "Those are just hypocritical gods, and they are not worth mentioning in front of these ancient existences."
