My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 176 After the Old House Caught Fire (26)

Damien has to cooperate with Vicky, but he doesn't trust Vicky because he is not familiar with the terrain here. Having Vicky around can really save a lot of trouble.

Vicky walked in front, leading the way carefully. He turned around and asked softly: "What exactly are you looking for?"

Damien did not answer the question, but said: "Just lead the way, don't ask anything else."

Vicky sensed Damien's mysteriousness. It was clearly his first time in the misty world, but he was able to accurately ask where the laurel totem was.

Vicky had indeed seen this totem, but this place called Ivy Community was very old, so it was normal for some ancient things to be found there. She had seen various totems on many buildings, and because they were so common, she had not paid much attention to them before.

It was only when Damien suddenly asked that Vicky consciously remembered the place where the building with the laurel totem existed.

It was at this lake, on the floor of another cabin, that Vicky had seen the laurel totem.

They pushed the door open carefully, and a fishy smell hit them in the face, making them feel uncomfortable all over.

Vicky suppressed the urge to throw up, covering his face and looking at Damien in confusion.

Damien saw the ancient laurel tree totem at a glance. He ran over excitedly, squatted on the ground and pushed away the debris, revealing a slightly intact totem. However, due to its age, the totem was worn out a lot, but it did not prevent them from seeing clearly what was engraved here.

Vicky wondered, "Does this totem have any special meaning?"

Damien said: "This is the totem of the Fox family. Centuries ago, as the last king of the Fox family died under the blades of the people, this totem gradually disappeared from the world."

Damien received an aristocratic elite education, so the knowledge he had access to was certainly different from that of others. He had to know everything about the big families in the past and which ancient noble families had been passed down.

Damien was born into a powerful noble family, so naturally his home also had a number of ancient collections.

Damien rarely visits the collection room, and it was only not long ago, because his son was in a bad mood, that he took the child into the collection room.

Inadvertently, the child who ran to the attic knocked over an oil painting piled up in the corner. When Damien went to pick up the painting, he saw that the painting was still lifelike.

It was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, sitting on the throne with a smile in his eyes. He looked like a kind-hearted person, but on the back of the painting there was a record of who the person in the painting was.

——The "Piercing King" who was synonymous with cruelty, was deserted by his friends and relatives because of his brutality, and finally died alone.

Eugene Fox.

A king who likes to torture and kill prisoners would order his men to pierce the prisoners from bottom to top with sticks and hang them outside the city gate even after the prisoners have clearly lost their ability to resist.

It was precisely because of his inhumane methods that the enemy was always frightened and dared not get close to the city wall. This might be a good thing, but on the other side that he did not know, his people gradually began to fear him.

So in the end, it was only natural that he became the target of everyone's condemnation.

This period of history ended with Eugene Fox's death at the hands of the people, and not much is remembered about it.

Vicky listened to Damien telling a historical story, but she still couldn't understand it. "So what do you want to prove now that you found this totem?" "Of course, to prove that my guess is correct. The so-called real estate agent is the legendary Piercing King!"

Vicky was startled by Damien's excitement. He took a step back, still unable to understand Damien's excitement.

Damien stood up and said, "I felt familiar with the real estate agent the first time I saw him. Now that I think about it, he was the man in the painting."

"Only when we determine his identity can we find a way to deal with him."

"Do you know how it is recorded in history books?"

"The people who worked together to kill the king still feared him. They were afraid that he would turn into a ghost to take revenge, so they broke all his bones and dug out his heart. They enshrined his heart in the church. As long as he could never find his heart, he would never be able to leave his burial place and harm others."

"Don't you understand? As long as we get his heart, we can threaten him."

It was the first time Vicky heard this story. She took the time to sigh that educated people were smarter, but she quickly thought of the actual situation. "We've been to that church several times before, and I've never seen a heart in it."

Damien no longer doubted Vicky's words. After all, there was no need for Vicky to lie to him about this matter.

He frowned. Now that he had found the laurel totem, it meant that his previous guesses were all correct.

Eugene was the king who was slaughtered by his people, and his heart was indeed dug out, but where did the heart go?
Vicki suddenly pointed out the window, "There's movement in the water!"

Ripples appeared on the calm surface of the lake, as if something was about to come out from the depths. Under the moonlight, the round roof gradually emerged.

The buildings emerging from the water grew taller and bigger, and the sound of water splashing was ears-piercing. Right under everyone's eyes, a red-roofed church suddenly appeared in the water.

The sound of water dripping can be heard, and water plants are still entwined on the walls. Due to being soaked in water for many years, the buildings have many traces of being washed and invaded by the water, silently telling the cruelty of time.

Damien rushed to the door. He raised his head and looked up at the tall building. In shock, he realized something. "That's right, it's a flood!"

A century ago, an unprecedented flood broke out. The merciless water swallowed up everything here, and the church was buried in the water forever.

"Wow, I've been here for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a big guy in the water."

Ovid, who was wearing a police uniform but had Abel's face, put one hand on his forehead and exclaimed exaggeratedly. With a "bang", the gun in his hand went off and hit the door of the cabin.

Damien and Vicky were both shocked.

Ovid smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't hit it right. I'll do it with the next shot."

He raised the gun again.

Vicky's instinctive reaction was to run away, but a hand pushed him down forcefully and he yelled, "Damien!"
