Romance of Gods

Chapter 157 Bartender V

Collapsed, rotted, lost... Darwin's body shook uncontrollably.

Cleese's prophecy has already come true once before, so won't the others also happen soon?

At this time, Molly brought hot black tea, "Thank you." Chen Yan picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully, thinking calmly.

According to this, the experiences of the three Darwins when they were young may have offended a certain powerful person in this world.

The female corpse that Kress saw must be closely related to this person.

The treasure was buried with the female corpse. Not only did they covet it, but they even plundered it without permission, so they were cursed after they left.

As for why the big shot didn't kill them directly at that time, it was probably because this simple punishment was far from enough to let him vent his anger.

Kress's entire face was covered in mist, as if he was wearing a mask. He sighed quietly: "The gifts of fate have already been marked with a price in secret. At that time, we didn't know that we had committed the crime when we were young. My mistakes will be repaid in my lifetime."

Darwin came back to his senses after hearing this, his face full of indignation, "If we can also become rich, we will accept some curses. In addition to enduring physical torture these years, Jin and I have to run for life, but we are not as comfortable as you. .”

"Yes, I became a rich man." Kress laughed at himself: "I took away the most treasures, and of course I also received the heaviest punishment. The world is fair."

Darwin was horrified and looked curious, "What is your curse?"

Cleese's smile froze on his face and he was silent for probably a few minutes.

“The curse I received is beyond your imagination. Let’s just say... anyone close to me will die in strange and horrific ways.

You should have seen that this large manor is almost like a cemetery, lifeless.Because I was worried that the curse would affect innocent people, I sent most of the servants away.

In addition...and Luna, you should still remember Luna, right?She is my adoptive mother, the person I respect the most in my life. She has given me a maternal love that I have never experienced before.

I once swore that even if God took away all the treasures I owned immediately, as long as Luna was here, I would not have any complaints.

But I just had this idea, and God took away Luna's life mercilessly... I can't believe what happened that day is true!

Luna was obviously so healthy, but she was still joking with me at the dinner table the second before she died.

But suddenly, she fell to the ground, in extreme pain, every pore was burst open, and countless maggots and bugs came out of her body.

I was completely powerless...I could only watch her die in front of my eyes! "

Snapped!
Cress's words fell to the ground together with the tea cup. His eyes were red and his lips were trembling slightly.

Chen Yan stared at him calmly, the sadness vomiting from his chest was not fake in the slightest.

When Darwin heard what happened to Kress, he felt the same way. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, frowned and snorted.

"Cress, are you trying to say that your unwillingness to share the treasure with us back then was for our sake?"

Kress quickly calmed down his emotions and smiled: "Of course I am not that noble. At the beginning, I really just wanted to swallow the treasure. This heavy truth was only understood after more than ten years of painful torture. As for now, you guys You can take away all the treasures in the manor, and I will never stop you."

Darwin was unmoved, "If I didn't work in a bank and knew you were transferring your property overseas, then I would really believe your lies!"

Kress laughed loudly, with sadness in his laughter, "Sure enough... when you want to escape the judgment of fate, all your efforts will push you to the predetermined result. I was still thinking about the prophecy before. Picture, the three of us have obviously not been in contact with each other for decades, how can we sit together and chat?

It turns out that's why you came here.Believe it or not, I never thought about leaving London, and the money I transferred from the bank was just to pay an organization. "

"Organization? What organization?"

Darwin didn't believe him at all and kept asking questions.

Kress also had no intention of hiding it, "The Fellowship. A mysterious gang from the East. There are many talented people in this gang. Their power is almost all over the world. I pay them to do something for me... …As for what to do, I can’t tell you.”

"Comrades will..."

Darwin kept mumbling these three words, his eyes still suspicious.

Chen Yan's doubts are almost clear now.

Everything that happened to Kress and others was because they offended people they shouldn't have offended.

As for Li, who did not enter the treasure land, and Zheng E, who was born twenty years later, they also entered the Clay Manor.

Probably because they are all connected to the Clara, and the Clara is, in a sense, the initiator of everything.

As for the identity of the female corpse and the big shot, although he was curious, he probably couldn't figure it out.

He asked: "Besides the curse, what else did you see in the eyes of that female corpse?"

"There are too many to finish. What I just told you is just a drop in the bucket. But over the years, I copied out all those pictures, hoping to alleviate my own sins. Those paintings are in this castle now, you Want to see it?"

Although Chen Yan and Chen Yan didn't speak, Kress could already see the strong curiosity in their eyes.

He smiled, got up and walked to the oil painting wall on the east side of the living room.

He raised his hand and tapped on an oil painting a few times. With the sound of gears twisting, a secret door immediately opened.

Behind the door is a long, narrow and winding corridor, with some fluorescent stones embedded on both sides of the wall providing a weak light source.

Kress didn't say anything, raised his legs and walked in.

Chen Yan thought that the other end of this secret passage must be the compartment on the second floor.

He immediately stood up and stepped forward, followed closely by Darwin.

When entering the corridor, Chen Yan noticed that the oil painting that Kress had just tapped suddenly changed from a statue of God to pitch black.There is also the classic line from Hamlet - I am in a nutshell and still think I am the king of the universe!

……

When the three of them entered the tunnel, Molly appeared at the entrance and closed the door.

Chen Yan used the faint fluorescent light to look around, and a strong sense of shock instantly rushed into the sky.

Mountains and rivers, natural disasters, gods, devils, wars... and human beings who are constantly fighting.

One after another, powerful paintings appear on the walls, filling the cramped space with a rich epic feeling that spans the ages.

Darwin's shock was even more indescribable. He trembled: "K...Cress, do you still have this ability?"

Kress shook his head, "When I applied these works, I had no control over my body at all, and the brush moved on its own. It can be said that the works of these murals are mine, but they are not me."

Chen Yan glanced at the content of the murals from the beginning. The first one at the beginning was obviously an apocalyptic scene.

Under landslides and floods, everything in the world is struggling to survive, but above the dome, countless gods and demons are engaged in a war that shocks the past and the present.

The second one that followed was an abstract painting.

The picture is entirely composed of intertwined red and blue. The rich and vivid colors are like thunder and fire melted into liquid.

"Thunder and lightning...fire..."

He remembered that the door Kress saw in the deep sea was also attached to the raging thunder and fire.

Darwin suddenly said: "Kim, I found that the contents of these paintings seem to be connected."

Chen Yan nodded, there was indeed a connection.

Immediately after the thunder and fire mural, a man was born from the corner of the world.

"Look, this man seems like a savior."

Darwin was inexplicably excited and explained aloud as he walked forward.

"As soon as he was born, he traveled around the collapsed world, exerting his divine power to quell disasters and save all things.

Then, the gods and demons fighting in the sky noticed him, stopped fighting, and formed an alliance to go down to the lower world to strangle this man.

But the man is so powerful. He has gone through many difficulties and dangers and won one battle after another.

In the end, all the gods and demons were defeated, and peace was restored to the world.

But he was very kind. Not only did he forgive these gods and demons, he also gave them golden walls and jade staffs, which are symbols of power! "

At this time, the two of them had arrived at the corner, and Darwin pointed to the last mural on the first wall.

Chen Yan watched carefully. In the picture, countless gods and demons gathered around a mountain, holding the man at the top, and the man was giving them gifts.

Round ones, and long ones; yellow ones, and green ones.

That is what Darwin said about the golden wall and the jade staff.

But in Chen Yan's eyes, these two things are more like other things.

"This is not a golden wall and a jade staff."

Darwin looked at him in shock and blurted out, "What is that?"

"Pancakes, and green onions."

"Ok?"

Chen Yan's mind changed quickly. He now roughly understood why the female demon Lilith asked him if he had brought her pancakes and scallions in the secret passage last time.

The big brother in her mouth should be this man who suddenly came to the world, but why did she admit the wrong person?
What do he have in common with his elder brother?

Chen Yan was eager to find the answer and turned the corner. The main tone of the mural also changed, becoming soft and slow.

The general content is that after the man saved the world, he began a life of traveling around mountains and rivers.

He walked on foot in this world, looking for little-known secrets, and even hid several steam engines in the pyramid in a very naughty way.

Chen Yan and Chen Yan were concentrating on the mural, but neither of them noticed that Kress had disappeared.

……

boom!
On the second floor of the castle, in the compartment, Kress climbed out of the corridor and closed the secret door.

He looked around, stepped forward and took down a sharp knife from the shelf against the wall.

"Try again, try again..."

Kress murmured in his mouth, his eyes wandered, and he suddenly stabbed the sharp knife into his chest with his backhand.

The severe pain did not distort his expression, but instead a sense of relief lingered throughout his body.

After exhaustion, he fell to the ground and lay in a pool of blood.
