Chapter 2: Karma Arises Like Evil [Act 3] Disillusionment (5)

"Tsk! Sure enough, it is a rare treasure in the world! After a while, the woman's voice suddenly changed to surprise, and Lang smiled, "Well, for its sake, I will take you to meet the master." (hua.) But whether he will grant your request, I can't guarantee it. So whether it succeeds or not, this jewelry has to be mine! ”

"What a greedy and filthy woman!" Lin Jingru agreed, scolding in her heart. It is said that after the great warlord Sun Dianying stole the tomb of Cixi in Dongling, it was secretly hidden and sold by an officer and soldier accompanying him, and after changing hands several times, it became a generous gift for her eighteenth birthday. (hua.) But the present situation is dire, and if you do not use the temptation of profit to successfully impress and use the woman to escape from here, you will have to stay in this place where you will not see the light of day in this life, and you will completely lose your freedom.

In front of us is a critical moment, and we must not make any distinction between the important and the serious, otherwise it will be a big mistake and I will regret it. Besides, as long as you can escape from this place and report the crime again, why not go back?

After a while, with the sound of the key turning, the door was pushed open with a "creak". I saw a middle-aged woman standing outside the door, carefully holding the jade bracelet in one hand and a kerosene lamp in the other, looking at Lin Jingru with a smile, her frost-white blonde hair was curled into a bun, wearing a black velvet embroidered gold thread long skirt, and a pearl brooch pinned to her right shoulder.

"Hello, noble lady." Lin Jingru bowed slightly, saluted the other party uprightly, and said with a slight choked voice, "Whether it is successful or not, I, Lin Jingru, will always be grateful for your kindness." But she didn't know that the woman's face was displeased, and her brows furrowed deeply.

But by the time she straightened up, the middle-aged woman had regained her normal complexion. She bowed her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyebrows became more and more profound: "Miss Lin doesn't need to be polite." I am only the master's steward, and I am called Voss. Please come with me! With that, Vos held an oil lamp and led Lin Jingru out of the room and onto the narrow and cramped corridor.

Along the way, Lin Jingru followed Voss closely, not daring to fall behind. However, due to the fact that the road does not see sunlight all year round, it has always been damp and damp. People walk on it, and their feet can't help slipping. But when Lin Jingru was in ecstasy, he completely ignored these things, and just walked through it, and he could return to the surface world and regain his freedom.

Looking at Lin Jingru's excited expression beside him, the corners of Voss's lips pursed a meaningful smile, fleeting.

Gradually, the smile on Lin Jingru's face faded, on the contrary, the deep panic in her heart gradually expanded, and quickly spread throughout her body.

"That's not right! Why does this passage get darker and darker as it goes? Clearly not to the ground, but to another basement! In horror, she looked at Voss with wide-eyed eyes and confusion. saw the other party sigh: "Miss Lin, I advise you to go back-" Before she finished speaking, she conveniently landed on Lin Jingru, trying to catch her.

said that it was too late, Lin Jingru gritted her teeth, and she didn't know where she got the courage, snatched the oil lamp in the other party's hand, pushed it to the ground, and then strode towards the opposite direction of the passage. Soon, the long-lost sunlight pierced deep into the eyes. In front of you, there are several rusty fences, and if you cross it, you will be free in front of you!

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded, and a group of black-clothed servants swarmed around, outflanking Lin Jingru in front and back. One of the tall valets jerked her down, slashing her hands behind her back, and she couldn't move anymore.
