Late at night.

After Chen Lun left Pompeii Manor, he went straight to the old site that the viscount said.

To the west of the inner city, near the ocean, the port of Lorna stands. The purple moon was reflected on the sea, and at this time, several huge ships were docked, and many slender men could be faintly seen, dragging small boats loaded with goods.

Chen Lun withdrew his gaze and left the terrace at the end of the street.

From the other side, I entered the alley, and after turning a corner, I came to the door of a manor.

This is 4 Bay Street.

It's just that the gate is locked, and the sign at the door is taken down, indicating that no one lives in the house now, and it is an empty house.

Chen Lun looked around, and when he saw that no one was passing, he held on to the railing and jumped in.

He did not stop and did not enter the villa complex, but went directly to the back. Because [Philip's diary] records that the inheritance is buried in the backyard.

"...... this?"

Chen Lun stopped.

He saw tombstones standing in the backyard, separated by carved stones, neatly arranged.

"It's a cemetery."

Chen Lun walked on the path paved with small stones, his eyes swept over the words on the tombstone.

A few are members of the Pompeii family, and most of them are soldiers who died in the "overseas landing battle", and looking at the epitaphs, it seems that they are all inscribed by Viscount Pompeii himself.

"These soldiers...... Is the Viscount's comrade-in-arms? Or a subordinate ......? ”

Chen Lun guessed.

He even found the tombstone of Mrs. Caroline's husband, Henry, and her son, Oliver, here.

“…… My benefactor, my dear friend who entrusts my life. ”

This is Henry's epitaph.

“…… Lovely child, excellent son, brave man. ”

This is Oliver's epitaph.

Underneath the epitaphs of both men, there is the name and date of the Viscount of Pompeii.

There are flowers in front of the tombstones, and they have not withered.

Chen Lun sighed.

He continued to walk inside, and found a stone spiritual temple with the gate sealed.

Chen Lun's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers touched the crack of the door, and then he used the [Snake Sense] to spit out the snake letter to collect pheromones.

"Somebody has been here...... But not the Viscount of Pompeii, nor Mrs. Caroline. ”

It stands to reason that this kind of spiritual temple is generally a place to store the bones of people of very high status, even if it is for worship, it will not easily open the door.

Chen Lun raised his vigilance, pushed open the door and walked in.

Vertical pupils do not have night vision, but they are able to capture heat. At this point, his vision was pitch black, and he didn't see any large creatures.

Spit out the snake letter, and slowly came to a corner of the spiritual temple.

A suspicious stone slab showed signs of loosening, and he reached out with a finger and easily lifted the heavy stone slab, revealing the long staircase below.

"There is a secret passage here......"

Chen Lun was surprised.

If it weren't for pheromones, he would have been hard pressed to spot this entrance if he hadn't caught the traces of someone entering here.

Chen Lun put the sapphire earring on his right ear and touched the grape ring on his index finger. After a brief check of his gear, he walked down the aisle.

When I got down to a certain point, there was a bright light in front of me, which was an oil lamp lit on the wall.

"There really are people!"

He was more vigilant.

At the end of the aisle is a bronze door carved with patterns of various animals and plants.

Just as he was about to push the door in, the bronze door was opened from the inside.

Syllable!

A backlit figure appeared in sight, and a rough female voice sounded:

"Hey! Look, what did I find?! A lucky grave robber! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman stretched out a large hand and grabbed it.

"Today is your lucky day, man, because you will soon be able to move into your new free home, which is the coffin here...... Ha ha! ”

Boom!!

The palms of the two slammed together.

"Huh?"

The woman's laughter stopped, she made a puzzled sound, and took a step back.

"The Transcendent?!"

In the next second, the woman struck again, a mist surging from her body, and a faint sound of waves came from it.

With a straight punch, a spiral wind vortex appeared around the fist, blowing out the oil lamps around it.

Syllable! Bang Bang!!

Chen Lun cast [Rhino Collision], turned the fist into an exoskeleton, and collided with it three punches head-on.

But he soon found that the impact of each punch was defused by the opponent's wind vortex and current-like means of luck.

The real damage is not one in ten.

"[Deep Sea Faction] Transcendental ......"

Chen Lun said secretly.

He accelerated his attack in the next second, taking the pace of the battle into his own hands.

[Bear Strike], [Rhino Strike] and [Stork Peck] are used back and forth, becoming more and more proficient.

The sound of ping-pong echoed through the closed catacomb.

The more the woman fought, the more surprised she became, she couldn't see through the man in front of her, but she could see that the other party's strength was not below her.

"Thunderbolt!"

She let out a roar, an arc of lightning flashed between her fingers, and the blue-white fluorescence flickered faintly in the mist.

But in a flash, she lost the figure of a man.

"Where?!"

"Behind!"

A flat male voice made her hair stand on end.

Boom!!

Chen Lun elbowed his backhand, and the powerful impact hit the woman's back of the heart.

She grunted and rolled forward. The arc in her palm went out, the fog around her dissipated, she got up in embarrassment, and turned her head to look at Chen Lun.

"Who the hell are you?!"

The woman questioned in a deep voice.

Chen Lun glanced at the ornament on the woman's chest, and his heart suddenly froze.

He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and casually covered his face, revealing only a pair of emerald green vertical pupils. The handkerchief was given to him by Rebecca, but he had never used it, and now it was the right time.

"My own people."

Chen Lun pretended to be a hoarse and low male voice.

He immediately took out the black skull token he had obtained from Dolly, and shook it between his fingers.

“……”

In the darkness, the woman showed a speechless expression.

Your voice is obviously different from what you just said, and you are pretending to be too amateurish.

And how to look at the piece of cloth that covers the face, how perfunctory, when this is a playhouse?!

However, she didn't want to worry about these things, and according to the rules of the association organizer, Black Skull, those who held tokens could participate in the meeting.

"Come in, lucky...... Gentleman. ”

The woman didn't want to say anything more, so she walked into the inside of the tomb first.

Chen Lun followed.

His vision turned from darkness to light, and he could see the scene inside.

A rudimentary incandescent light bulb hangs from the low ceiling, illuminating the interior slightly. In the dim light, there was a wooden round table, and six people were sitting at this time.

They all looked at Chen Lun, their eyes were either indifferent or curious, calm or profound.

"He had a token of association, so I let him in."

A woman's unique rough voice came from Chen Lun's side.

He glanced sideways slightly, and only then did he see the appearance of the woman he was fighting with - pale yellow hair, also masked, but with two scars on her eyelids. The eye sockets are deep and the eyes are sharp.

"It's okay, since you have a token, you are eligible to participate in the party."

A burly figure at the head of the round table said.

He wears a mask of a black skull, revealing only his eyes, and his gaze is calm.

"I'm the host of the association, you can call me Black Skull, what do you call me?"

Chen Lun looked at the seven people for a moment, then lowered his gaze and said in a hoarse and low voice:

"Spades."
