Chapter 119: Forgetting Worries, Three Lives (2)
No woman can resist the beauty of jewelry, whether you have the ability to buy it or not, or if you can just look at it.
Even a woman who doesn't love money will not be stingy with her appreciative gaze.
Zhong Luoyue worked as a jewelry auctioneer when she was a student, mostly because she wanted to meet and get to know the nobility of the upper class, and partly because of her love for jewelry that condensed beautiful yearning.
So when Lady Eve took off her 'forest light' and said that she could lend it to Zhong Luoyue to wear it and try it on, this noble lady at the top of the family did not refuse.
First, she really loved it, and second, she wouldn't let herself and Lady Eve get into trouble unpleasantly. She is also a person in the business field, this Lady Eve's origin is a little mysterious, but she exudes a real aristocratic temperament all the time, who knows that there will be no more intersections in the future?
The so-called connections are accumulated by oneself inadvertently. In this relationship-based society, connections are the greatest asset. The more people who come out of a big family, the more they understand this truth.
In an elegant, aroma-lit room, in front of a full-length mirror, Lady Eve is bringing the 'light of the forest' to Zhong Luoyue.
Brilliant gemstones, illuminated by the light, radiate a brilliance that only truly precious gemstones possess. As a former jewelry auctioneer, Zhong Luoyue was able to preliminarily estimate the value of this 'forest light'.
On the mirror, Lady Eve was standing behind Zhong Luoyue at this time, and after putting on the 'Forest Light' for her, Lady Eve leaned closely, pressed her hands lightly on Zhong Luoyue's arm, and said softly: "Look at you, it's really too suitable for it." β
"It's over. Zhong Luoyue smiled slightly.
At this time, Mrs. Eve reached out to ** Zhong Luoyue's cheek, which made Zhong Luoyue feel a little uncomfortable...... But she didn't make much movement.
"Young, confident, beautiful. Lady Eve closed her eyes at this time, sniffing at the position behind Zhong Luoyue's ears as if she were sympathetic, "Miss Zhong, your fragrance is something I can rarely experience." β
The tip of her nose could even touch the back of Zhong Luoyue's neck from time to time, making Zhong Luoyue feel like this Lady Eve would kiss it without knowing when.
"Lady Eve?" Zhong Luoyue frowned, she finally let her physical discomfort outweigh her psychological calm, turned around, and broke free from Lady Eve's light touch by the way.
Lady Eve quickly restrained herself, put her hands in front of her abdomen, smiled, and looked at Zhong Luoyue, who looked a little strange, and said gently: "Is there something wrong, Miss Zhong?"
Unexpectedly, Zhong Luoyue's eyes did widen a little at this moment, and even said that there was a trace of panic. She looked at Lady Eve, and suddenly took a step back, and a startled uncertain voice came from her mouth, "You ......"
"Me?" Lady Eve smiled again, but seemed to sense that something was wrong with her.
She tilted her head slightly and glanced at the mirror next to her. In the full-length mirror, Lady Eve's posture is graceful and charming, but it is only something between her lips that destroys this normal beauty.
"Accidentally exposed. Lady Eve put her hand over her lips and chuckled.
Between the lips, fangs emerge.
"You... What are you?" Zhong Luoyue forced herself to calm down, and said tentatively, "Or is it just a prank?"
She didn't quite believe that that kind of thing existed in the world. But ever since she had used some tricks to get a mysterious black card from her second brother's hand, she felt as if she had been exposed to something unconventional.
Especially when she couldn't know the material of the black card because she had been studying it for a long time, she finally privately visited an old man of the same age as her grandfather, and was also an elder of another family whose family background did not belong to the Zhong family, and knew a secret.
But she was clearly still not easily convinced...... She was even more convinced that the Lady Eve was just a disguise: for example, because of some hobby, she had specially brought such a pair of vampire dentures.
But obviously, today's meeting is not a masquerade.
"Prank?" Lady Eve chuckled, the waves were turbulent, "Miss Zhong, is this based on fear, self-preservation?"
She walked towards Zhong Luoyue step by step, so that Zhong Luoyue instinctively retreated.
At the same time, the horror in Zhong Luoyue's heart became stronger and stronger...... Because in just a few steps, Lady Eve has gone from being a stunner in the eyes of a man to an old woman.
Her face was wrinkled like withered bark, shiny and almost grayish, and her body was rapidly emaciated...... No amount of ugliness could describe what she looked like at this time.
Lady Eve's laughter was like the sound of the wind blowing the dry leaves on the concrete road, and it made people's scalps tingle, "I really hate the presence of mirrors at this time." β
Madame Eve waved her hand, and the full-length mirror shattered in an instant.
Zhong Luoyue didn't have time to be frightened by this scene, because at the moment when the mirror shattered, Lady Eve had already reached out and grabbed it.
Lady Eve's withered palm had a strength far beyond that of a burly adult man, and as soon as she grabbed it, Zhong Luoyue only felt as if her shoulder was almost crushed.
But she wasn't really frightened enough to be completely stupid...... The generation of the Zhong family, with two sons and one daughter, was sent to the army by Mrs. Zhong for training since he was a child.
Although Zhong Luoyue stayed for a shorter time than the eldest brother and second brother, she also learned some real self-preservation.
In the face of danger, she instantly calmed down, and quickly struck Lady Eve in the neck with her palm...... This knife is not as good as the ability of those annoying karate masters to split bricks and tiles, but ordinary people will definitely not be as simple as pain when they are chopped.
However, Lady Eve was unmoved, not even moved, she just smiled and said, "They actually resisted before...... No, no, it's a struggle. But like you, it's still the first. I would have preferred the younger one I met in the vineyard, but you're doing really well now, and I think it's good for you to be my blood servant. β
Zhong Luoyue didn't know who "they" in Eveve's mouth meant, but there was no doubt that "they" were probably victims at the hands of Madame Eve, and even worse, they might have died!
With no time to create more opportunities for himself to obtain information, Zhong Luoyue just wanted to get out of this great danger at the moment. She quickly retrieved the palm that had slashed at Lady Eve's neck, and struck it at the elbow of the arm that Lady had grabbed from her shoulder.
It suddenly bent Lady Eve's arm a little, and Zhong Luoyue's shoulder loosened as a result...... At the moment, Zhong Luoyue did not miss the opportunity, but used a side kick that went straight to Lady Eve's head.
However, Zhong Luoyue's ankle was grabbed in an instant, and Lady Eve sneered at this time, and grabbed Zhong Luoyue's ankle and shook it violently!
Zhong Luoyue's whole body was lifted up, and he slammed into the corner of the wall...... She let out a snort of pain.
Monster-like power...... Zhong Luoyue is well aware that Lady Eve is not an enemy that can be defeated by some fighting skills.
She scrambled to her feet, slightly flustered, and reached out to hold her shoulder...... Here I have been caught, and I have fallen on the wall, and I have broken my wounds.
Lady Eve was at this time in a good time...... More superiority comes from this kind of creature that is far weaker than oneself...... Oh, no, it's food.
Zhong Luoyue was drenched in cold sweat at this time, panting rapidly, she watched Madame Eve's footsteps, and she couldn't help but rush herself...... Finally, Lady Eve was only an arm's length away from her.
"Have you given up resistance?" said Lady Eve, a seeming smile as she opened her mouth slightly.
In an instant, Zhong Luoyue's eyes sharpened, and his intact arm stretched out like an electric shot, and at the same time, a loud noise also erupted at the same time.
Lady Eve's eyes widened at this point, and her body froze suddenly...... Her eyes rolled upward, not rolling, but intending to look at her forehead.
But apparently she couldn't see it.
At this time, in the center of Lady Eve's forehead, there was a small bloody hole...... And what Zhong Luoyue was holding in his hand at this time was indeed a long lipstick.
Or rather...... It's a murder weapon disguised as lipstick.
Last resort...... Zhong Luoyue glanced at her 'lipstick'. It's made of ceramic, and even the bullets are made of ceramic, so it's possible to survive the metal detection before the party.
But it can only shoot a bullet, and it is not as powerful as a real pistol, but it is enough to shoot and kill.
After being shot in the forehead, Lady Eve's body slowly went down...... However, she apparently did not die!
Under Zhong Luoyue's incredible gaze, the wound on Lady Eve's forehead began to squirm little by little, and the bullet that was shot into her brain was slowly being pushed out at this time!
This kind of monster is invincible to manpower!
As soon as such a thought arose, fear surged like a tide, and Zhong Luoyue suddenly struck a spirit, and before Lady Eve could regain her mobility, she directly rushed out of the door.
What she didn't know, however, was that greater dangers, more terrifying things, and the abyss of fear were behind this door!
When she opened the door, she saw a real 'monster' appearing at the scene of the tasting party where many guests gathered!
It pressed its hands and feet to the ground, and its hair grew wildly...... The facial features are no longer human facial features!
The round mouth, which occupies almost half of the face, is lined with sharp teeth, and at the same time, the tongue that spits out of the mouth is even more incredibly thick and long!
At this moment, it was a tongue like a tentacle that was wrapping around a woman and raising it high...... At the end of that tongue, there is another biting organ!
It was biting on the neck of the entangled woman.
In mid-air, the long tongue was like a straw, one by one, and the woman's body was quickly drained...... All around, there were more dried corpses with fear and despair on their faces.
But many more of the guests, now frightened, hid under the ridiculous table or curled up in the corner.
It's hellish sight...... Zhong Luoyue instantly fell into an ice cellar.
"What the hell did I fall into... ...... in the abyss"
Zhong Luoyue turned back in horror, but saw Lady Eve's body twitching and slowly standing up...... She was shocked, she still didn't care too much, she just wanted to escape from this place.
Before Lady Eve fully recovered, before the blood-sucking monster that looked like a giant leech noticed her...... Escape!
......
......
Ten minutes ago.
The tasting party has been going on for some time, and when many guests are discussing how this batch of new wines compares to the past, the long-awaited program has really arrived.
I don't know where the rumors sounded...... It is rumored that at this cocktail party, brewing master Tu Shenyi will take out the legendary bottle of 'forget worries, forget the river' and drink it with a lucky person.
The same series of 'Forget Worries' wine once sold for a sky-high price at an auction, which is like a dream wine for many wine lovers.
In anticipation, a man walked out slowly, and at the same time, he pushed a huge roulette wheel out.
It was the man who had taken out the magical 'treasure orb' in the banquet hall not long agoβthe rich man who wanted to buy this 'treasure orb', and he recognized it at once.
The person who pushed the roulette wheel out was Takizawa.
He pushed the roulette wheel in front of everyone's eyes before he smiled and cleared his throat, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be an exciting time ahead." Do you know what I'm going to do next?"
Everyone held their breath and looked at Takizawa's face with a smile.
Takizawa said loudly at this time: "I believe that everyone has already received a crystal ball with a number engraved on it before entering the venue, right? Now, please let me see the crystal ball in your hand, okay?"
The ladies took out their crystal balls and held them high in front of them.
At this time, Takizawa turned around very gorgeously in front of everyone, and then put his hands on the edge of the huge turntable, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he continued to say aloud: "Do you see this turntable? Do you see the numbers on this turntable? Gentlemen, ladies, smart people, have you already guessed what I'm going to do next? Answer me! Did you guess?"
"Guessed!" was the more prominent voice of the ladies.
I saw that Takizawa suddenly used force at this time, turning the huge roulette wheel, and the roulette wheel that was spinning rapidly was like a whirlpool.
Finally, under the nervous waiting of everyone, the turntable slowly stopped.
The pointer finally stopped at the interval representing the number '18'. Takizawa opened his hands at this time and said loudly: "Please tell where the lucky one is!"
"It's me!
It's the rich man who wanted to buy the 'treasure ball' before!
I saw him raise the crystal ball in his hand, looking very proud, happily pushed away the crowd, and walked in front of Takizawa in front of him, "It's me!
"yes, we meet again. Takizawa smiled slightly, "Mr. Lucky." β
It suddenly cracked its mouth, and a thick and long tongue shot out in an instant!
