Chapter 205: Castle Vault, Antiquities Aura
"Little Duke El wouldn't be trying to get revenge with such a clumsy trick, would you?" Su Ziyuan raised her flashlight to shine on Al's distorted side face, and teased with a questioning tone.
"I kid you not, his eyes did move." Al pointed to the portrait in front of him, and saw that this painting was different from the others, with an eerie smile on the face, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be real.
"Let me see." Ye Qi approached and used the beam of a flashlight to shine back and forth on the portrait. When the light moved, the eyes on the portrait actually moved strangely.
"You see, I'm not wrong! He, his eyes really move. Al deliberately amplified his voice as if to prove that he wasn't lying.
Ye Qi frowned, but he was calm in his heart, holding a flashlight and carefully studying this portrait, he always felt that those eyes looked a little awkward. He moved the flashlight to the side of the portrait and clearly saw that the pupils on the portrait were actually bulging. If you look closely, it is actually two black crystals.
It's no wonder that these eyes move, it turns out that the two irregular crystals reflect light, giving people the illusion of eye movement.
As soon as Ye Qi told the three of them his opinion, they were relieved. Especially the brother and sister of Charles de Gaulle, Angelica has a natural fear of these horrible things, while Al is frightened by the successive fright.
"Why are these two pieces of black set in one painting? Is it just meant to be scary? Angelica leaned close to Ye Qi's side, and the small space covered with portraits raised a little fear in her heart.
Ye Qi did not answer her question. His eyes were still fixed on the two black crystals that looked like gems. After frowning and thinking for a long time. He finally reached out and pressed down on the two crystals.
When Ye Qi's hand was covered with two crystals. They sank unhindered, and then there was a clattering sound, and the wall where the portraits hung slowly shrank in, revealing a deep passage.
The moment the passage was opened, a musty smell came to their faces, and everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
"Sure enough!" Ye Qi withdrew his arm that was resting in the air and pinched his nose, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, as if all this was expected by him.
Al and Angelica were full of questions. They didn't understand why Ye Qi would know that the two black bumps were the buttons of the mechanism. They wanted to ask what was going on, but Ye Qi had already taken the lead in the passage, so they could only endure their doubts and follow in.
The passage was not very long, and after walking a few steps came to a more spacious room, about the size of more than a hundred square meters. The beam of the flashlight shone into it, and a golden glow was emitted from the room, which was very dazzling.
Everyone held their palms in front of them, and it took a while for the dazzling feeling to ease. As the eyes get used to the strong reflections, they keep looking in the direction of the reflected light.
"Wow. It's so beautiful~" Angelica couldn't help but let out a light sigh, and the other three eyes swept to the room. I also gasped involuntarily.
In the corner of this closed room, there were piles of gold jewels all over the floor, and the sparkling light fascinated those who liked jewelry. Even Su Zikite, who is the saint of Wanhua Qin, is not exempt from vulgarity, and her beautiful eyes radiate the light of fascination like Angelica.
"These treasures should be the property of the owner of this ancient castle, seeing that he has collected so many treasures, he should have been a very rich nobleman during his lifetime." Ye Qi deliberately shouted at the top of his voice. He did this to sober up the two ladies who were addicted to it.
Sure enough, when Su Ziyuan and Angelica heard his voice, their eyes immediately returned to clarity, although they still went to look at the treasures piled up in the corner from time to time.
Ye Qi looked back at the de Gaulle siblings and asked, "Do you know the cause of death of the owner of this ancient castle?" ”
The brother and sister nodded at the same time, and Angelica, who was the younger sister, replied first: "It is said that the owner of this castle was killed by his own wife, and the specific motive for the murder is not clear, anyway, the woman was finally hanged." ”
"Then they don't have offspring?" Ye Qi continued to ask.
Angelica shook her head: "No, it is said that there are very few relatives with them, so after the male and female hosts left one after another, the castle was abandoned. ”
Ye Qi bit his nails and listened patiently to her explanation, a hint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "If my guess is correct, that woman should have killed her husband for this pile of treasures, after all, they didn't have much to do with relatives, and she was the only heir to the property after her husband died." But unfortunately, even though she killed the male owner here, she did not find the location of the treasure, until the truth about her murderer was discovered, and she was finally hanged. And these treasures remain in this castle forever, and if we hadn't stumbled upon them, they might never have seen the light of day. ”
The other three all nodded slightly, thinking that his analysis was very reasonable and in line with people's normal psychology. After all, with such a large amount of wealth, most people who lack concentration will see the wealth, so it is not surprising that the wife murdered her husband for a huge amount of wealth.
"And what about this pile of treasure?"
The allure of money is huge, especially with such a large pile of shiny gold, silver and jewelry piled up in front of you, it is a lie to say that you are not tempted, how many people in this world can really treat money as dung?
Not to mention the others, even Ye Qi, who had no idea about the past, couldn't help but be dazzled when he saw the piles of treasures.
"Report it to the Duke first, anyway, he is also a powerful figure in this area, and he should be able to handle these things." As he spoke, Ye Qi had already stepped forward and squatted down to inspect these European-style gold and silver objects.
However, when his hand touched those objects, his mind suddenly exploded, countless information poured in, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed. At this time, he was no longer in the dimly lit secret room, but out of a large bedroom.
There is a man and a woman in the bedroom, they are dressed in European classical aristocratic clothes. The woman is leaning against the man's arms, holding the wine glass in her hand and holding it to the man's mouth with tenderness.
The man smiled and drank the wine in the cup, and the two of them acted very intimately.
But not long after, the man suddenly grabbed his throat with both hands, and his face was full of pain and hideous expression, he stood up and tried to call for help, but the woman pressed him down on the bed with a pillow until he ran out of strength and could no longer struggle.
Ye Qi felt like he was about to suffocate, and the scene changed again, and he returned to the dimly lit secret room.
Before he could calm down, he heard a familiar voice: "Ding, you found the aura of the antiquity, did you absorb it?" ”
"Absorb!" Ye Qi, who was still confused, didn't know what was going on, and made a knee-jerk decision after hearing the system prompt (to be continued. )
