After seeing what was on it clearly, in the next second, the man's pupils suddenly contracted and his heart tightened, and fear swallowed his whole person in an instant like a flood!

"Ah——!!!h

The heart-rending screams echoed in the small basement, and the man turned around and wanted to run, but both feet were already entangled, and then, two black snakes about the thickness of his arms slowly climbed up his waist along the man's legs, and continued all the way up.

In addition, there were more dense small snakes under his feet, like the roots and veins of a giant tree, constantly surging upward, slowly, little by little, entangled the man's whole body, and finally, only a head was exposed, and a face full of fear was written.

The man wanted to shout, but the endless panic pressed down on his throat and he couldn't make a sound, he stared at the darkness in front of him, and gradually, he saw a pair of dark and beautiful gems.

It's purple.

Slowly approach and stick it over.

Gradually, all he saw was the brighter and brighter gems in front of him, within reach.

So beautiful, so dazzling, enough to eclipse all the treasures in the world.

The man's eyes began to dissipate unconsciously, and the purple in front of him slowly flowed, emitting a faint mist, like a whirlpool, silently absorbing the soul in the man's body.

As all the little snakes slowly retreated, the imprisoned man remained motionless, starting from his feet, the gray quickly spread upward, and soon, the man's neck also turned into a hard stone, followed by his mouth, nose, and eyes.

When the last glimmer of light in his eyes receded completely, a sculpture stood quietly in the basement.

The black snake slowly retracted into the darkness like mist, and immediately after, the candlelight in the corner of the basement lit up again, and a slender and straight figure slowly walked out of the corner.

Dressed in a white shirt, clean and immaculate.

And when the light shrouded the entire basement, the original mountain of gold coins quietly turned into a pile of dust, dispersed with the wind, and the money bags that fell on the ground also deflated, and the original empty room was now full of figures, row after row, close to each other, and as far as the eye could see, all of them were gray-white stone sculptures.

These sculptures have lifelike faces and different expressions, whether happy or sad, crying or laughing, and there are nearly 100 people in a rough count.

The beautiful young man pushed open the stone door, humming a light and pleasant tune in his mouth, and as the stone door slowly closed, the warm and beautiful voice kept going away.

It's as if nothing happened.

——

Early the next morning, Jin Ting knocked on Ding Bao's bedroom door as usual.

"What's for breakfast?"

At a certain moment, the sleepy-eyed Ding Bao felt like a nanny, the kind that didn't charge.

There were fewer and fewer things in the cupboard, and only a small piece of beef and a few eggs remained.

Ding Bao was too lazy to make those complicated things in the morning, so he simply minced the beef, beat two eggs into it and stirred, and finally kneaded it into small round cakes and threw them into the pan to fry.

It's similar to steak, but Jin Ting still eats it with relish, and at the end of it, he carefully licked the remaining gravy at the corner of his mouth, and he looked like a goblin.

"Why didn't those two big brothers get up to eat last night?"

Jin Ting lowered his head to drink porridge, and did not raise his head to talk casually.

"Leave early in the morning."

"Oh......"

Ding Bao stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something.
