This was a room of about sixty or seventy square meters. There was no door, and there was no water above. He didn't know how he came in. In the center of the room was a strangely shaped light beam. Six small lights extended from the ground in all directions, illuminating the entire room. There were some things in the room, such as tables, chairs, mirrors and so on. This was probably a secret room under the bathtub. The design was quite ingenious. There was no feeling of dampness or airlessness.
Not knowing why, the strong fluctuation that felt so close suddenly disappeared, but it should be in this secret room. Chen Rui intended to solve the mystery of "God-Eating Mask". His body shook. No matter how difficult it is, I must take this troublesome thing off my face. (Are you kidding me? Even if not for other reasons, just for Athena, I must take it off … Otherwise, how can I kiss a girl with this troublesome thing?)
The things in the secret room were a bit messy. When Chen Rui walked past the mirror, suddenly the mirror shone brightly, and an image appeared in it. It turned out to be a stunning girl dancing.
Is this the secret of "God-Eating Mask"? No! This stunning girl … blond hair and purple eyes, a slim figure, that appearance … is actually Jía!
To be precise, it is Jía in her teenage years. She was wearing a white dance dress. Her dancing posture was elegant and moving, giving a kind of charming beauty that could shake people's mind. What surprised Chen Rui even more was that her expression was not iceberg-like indifference, but she was smiling, full of joy and gentleness.
For the first time, he saw her complete smile.
Perhaps because of the strong contrast, when Chen Rui saw this gentle smile, he had a feeling of being lost for a moment. It was hard to imagine that Jía, who was recognized as the iceberg princess, would have such a moving smile. Perhaps, this kind of smile could be seen in a fleeting smile.
"I can't remember when I smiled last time … This kind of happiness, I'll leave it to Alice."
Chen Rui suddenly thought of a sentence that Jía once said, and his heart was a little heavy. He remembered that Athena once said that the sister in Alice's memory used to be a very gentle girl. What made this gentle and beautiful girl turn into a cold and heartless female lord?
How much of the gentleness of the past remained under that cold and emotionless mask?
Chen Rui did not look at the mirror again. He looked all the way around. There were many small objects in the room. Although they had no practical value, for Jía, each of them was likely to carry a dust-covered precious memory.
Chen Rui walked to the table and gently touched the hanging wind chime. He suddenly felt guilty for peeping into someone else's privacy and sighed.
"Why?!"
It was Jía's voice! It contained anger and sorrow.
Why is she here! Even < Analytical Eye > didn't show anything!
Chen Rui, who had a guilty conscience, was shocked, and his heart tightened. "It's over. This secret room should be the most secret of Jía. Even if I don't wear this ghost mask, she will definitely kill me."
Moreover, in this sealed room, even the Dark Will could not be transmitted out.
"Why did you kill them all?!"
The voice actually came from the wind chime. Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief. This should be a memory magic item similar to a recording effect.
"They are just my friends …"
"I don't want this kind of strength … I don't want to be a lord … I don't want to be an empress …"
In the end, it was already the sound of crying. Chen Rui never thought that such a cold and strong woman would actually cry, and this cry was so weak and distressing.
Chen Rui suddenly remembered what Jía said when she mentioned the word "friend" to him. "Friend" was a luxury for her, but it was bad luck for him. Judging from the crying in the wind chime, it should be Jía before she succeeded as the lord. All her friends were killed. The person who gave the order was probably her deceased father, Crown Prince Grimm. Just for the so-called "strength".
The crying gradually faded. Chen Rui tried to touch the wind chime again. Some laughed loudly, some cried softly. Then, a firm voice sounded.
"From today onwards, my life, Jía. Lucifer's life no longer belongs to me, but it belongs to the entire Dark Moon Estate. I will defend this land with my life, protect my sister with my life, and restore the glory of the Lord of Midnight Sun with my life."
Can't you even control your own life? Chen Rui was silent for a while, and he gently stroked the wind chime again.
This time, the sound was laughter. It seemed that he couldn't help but laugh.
"This guy actually let Aldas do it in front of so many people … Haha … It's so funny!"
"The furthest distance in the world isn't the distance between life and death. It's that I'm standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you … Whether it's true or not, these boring feelings don't belong to me … "
Chen Rui remembered that this should be Jía's mood after the beautiful misunderstanding in the Arena Master Challenge and the Imperial Garden. During this conversation, Jía kept laughing. Maybe she really couldn't help laughing at the beginning, but what about the latter part?
The crisp sound of the wind chime continued to ring.
This time, it was a faint sigh.
"Why did you watch him go to the mine? Why didn't you force him to stay? Why? Do you want to bury a person who you can't bear to part with … Jía, you selfish and cold-blooded woman, I hate you … "
"If one day, I can really defeat Obsidian and ascend the throne, I don't know what I will be left with …"
"Chen Rui, you must live … Chen Rui …"
This was about him. He decided to go to Mountain Xilang at the regular meeting. At that time, he remembered that she didn't even tell him to take care, but she said it to this wind chime …
The last whisper made Chen Rui's mind tremble a little. He didn't expect that he, an "admirer" who was created due to a misunderstanding, actually touched a trace of softness in her heart under repeated "misunderstandings". Even if it was only a trace, she was still touched after all.
It turned out that the serious and cold woman had buried her weak heart under her strong outer shell in this secret little house. She could only secretly hide here to release her suppressed crying, laughing, and scolding. She cried and laughed loudly here. Once she left this room, she was the expressionless and fearsome cold princess again.
The bloodline of the emperor, the father's last wish, the sister who needs to be protected, and the terrifying enemies around … The burden this woman carries is really too heavy.
If there is no Athena, perhaps I will be truly tempted uncontrollably. Chen Rui didn't deny that he was attracted by that beautiful appearance, but to be truly tempted, it was definitely not only because of the body, but also the soul.
But now … I should try my best to assist her to fulfill her wishes step by step. I should try to share those burdens not only for myself.
Chen Rui didn't touch the wind chime again, or rather, he didn't touch the soft heart again. He felt heavy in his heart.
At this moment, the heat of the "God-Eating Mask" appeared again. This time, the response was unprecedentedly strong. The source was the strange lamppost in the center.
Chen Rui tried to reach out to touch the light column, but he was bounced back by a strange force before he touched it. His fingers that touched it were faintly scorched. It seemed to be a powerful protective magic circle.
The "God-Eating Mask" automatically glowed and began to emit white smoke. The white smoke had a little purple light which wrapped around the lamppost.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of something. After he swallowed Glorfin's consciousness, there were some vague memories in his mind. When Glorfin was fighting with the Lord of Midnight Sun, he couldn't defeat his opponent. In the end, he risked his artifact to be damaged and used a secret method to escape. This was the origin of the broken piece on the forehead of the mask.
Glorfin's injury from being defeated by the Lord of Midnight Sun was secondary. The key was that after the broken "God-Eating Mask" cast the secret method, it produced a strong backlash on his body. It made Glorfin's body on the verge of collapse. He must absorb the power of the moonlight stone to resolve the backlash of the secret method.
Glorfin, who once occupied the Dark Moon for a period of time, knew that there were moonlight stones under the Mine Xilang. He immediately changed his escape route and came all the way to the Mine Xilang. With the help of the territory power, Glorfin absorbed the moonlight stones at the bottom of the main pit. The crystals of the territory also eroded the entire mining area. This was the cause of the abandoned mines for 400 years.
However, the number of moonlight stones was too little to make up for the backlash of the "God-Eating Mask". Relying on the sensing of the territory, Glorfin broke the seal of the entrance to the underground world and searched all the way to the underground world.
The area with the densest moonlight stone mineral deposits was the Earth Realm of the earth elementals. Due to the search for moonlight stones, Glorfin broke into the territory of the earth elementals and killed several earth elementals who were in the way. As a result, it led to the Earth Elemental King.
Glorfin relied on the power of the Demon Overlord to dominate the underground world. He didn't expect that the underground world of the Dark Moon Estate had the only Earth Elemental King. As a Demon Overlord, the Earth Elemental King wasn't born for a long time. He was originally not Glorfin's opponent, but Glorfin was injured. Coupled with the backlash of the mask, he finally lost to the Earth Elemental King. His body was completely annihilated.
However, the power of the artifact was not trivial after all. As the owner of the "God-Eating Mask", Glorfin's will was not destroyed. He began to further emit the territory power that absorbed the moonlight stones. This power also caused serious interference to the elemental power of the Earth Realm. Although the Earth Elemental King destroyed Glorfin's body, he couldn't destroy the consciousness hidden in the artifact. He could only use his power to suppress it. As a result, he was controlled by the "God-Eating Mask" instead.
What happened next was Chen Rui's personal experience.
In the war 400 years ago, Glorfin couldn't take the artifact fragment away because of the secret method, so it fell into the hands of Midnight Sun. Lucifer. Judging from these memories, the fragment was probably sealed in this secret room of the Dark Moon!
This was the reason why the "God-Eating Mask" was summoned! It wanted to absorb the fragment and restore into a complete artifact!
The white smoke of the "God-Eating Mask" wrapped around the lamppost. The lamppost, which was originally stable, began to flicker with a restless light. The six corners emitted a strong light, and the patterns on the ground lit up. It was a six-pointed star array!
A powerful force pressed toward Chen Rui. The "God-Eating Mask" was full of white gas. When the power of the six-pointed star array touched this white gas, it was like a snow lion encountering fire. It suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the six-pointed star array began to tremble slightly.
Jía, who had closed her eyes to rest in the palace, suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a cold gaze.
