Franca widened her eyes and stared at Eliza.
"Ah … Ah …" Franca raised her hand and pointed at Eliza. She exclaimed in shock, "Yiyiyi …"
"What's wrong?" Eliza suddenly turned around and stared at Franca with her eyes wide open. Her voice was hoarse like an old lady's, "Why are you looking at me like that?!"
"I-I-I …" Franca swallowed her saliva. Although she did not have any supernatural talent, as the only daughter of a light wizard family and the only heir, she had more or less seen and understood all kinds of supernatural abilities.
Moreover, her mother had taught her the philosophy of life when she was young. Power came with a price. Mrs. Eliza might have used some supernatural ability that required her to pay a price …
"It's, it's fine." Franca forced a smile.
"It's fine?" Eliza's eyes almost popped out. She grabbed Eliza's wrist that was covering her chest. The age spots on the back of her hand were disgusting, "Did you think I was ugly?"
"No, no!" Franca shook her head violently and revealed a terrified expression.
"You lied to me!" Eliza's expression was crazed. She suddenly roared and shook off Franca's hands. Her hands that were dripping with blood from scratching the table reached for Franca's slender and fair neck.
"Ah!" Flea shrieked. Then, she saw a cold light flashing by. A small knife slid across Eliza's wrist and cut it open like cutting tofu. Blood spurted out and splashed onto Flea's white gauze dress.
Fu Lanka fell backwards and landed on her butt on the ground. One second to remember http://m.9biquge.com
Eliza screamed in agony and fell to the ground like a monster. She rolled around in pain.
A woman with a graceful figure appeared behind the stage. Just by looking at this afterimage, one could tell that she was the person who accurately threw a dagger across the entire venue.
It was the uncrowned king of all hunter groups, the leader of the "Spider" organization — Ji Zhixu.
Ji Zhixu said coldly, "Those who disturb the venue shall die."
Everyone was awakened by the first wave of blood on the stage. They struggled to wake up from the bewitchment of the "R'yleh Text".
"Those who can't withstand the corruption of knowledge from the hermit of the bookstore can leave at will now." Ji Bonong casually played with the auction hammer in his hand.
As soon as Ji Bonong's voice fell, the hall fell into an eerie silence. No one wanted to give up on such a great opportunity, but the power of the R 'yleh Text was not something ordinary people could withstand.
Everyone present was a Terror Grade Extraordinaire. Other than Elisa, who had somehow managed to sneak in, most of them had already thoroughly examined their own strength.
However, the "R 'yleh Text" was enough to surprise them. They were all clamoring in their minds to take it down, but they also knew the price they would have to pay for it.
Eliza's body was quickly dragged away by the behind-the-scenes staff. Even the blood on the ground was cleaned up. They even sprayed fragrances in the air to cover up the smell of blood as if no one had died here.
Franca was helped up by Mike. This hunter greeted Ji Zhixu from afar and expressed her gratitude.
In fact, if Ji Zhixu had been a little later, Mike would have immediately snapped Eliza's neck.
Dong! The crisp sound of the hammer resounded throughout the hall. A new round of the auction had begun.
However, everyone present was from a wealthy family. They did not lack money the least.
However, what Franca did not know was that everyone present was under an invisible pressure. No one even dared to raise the sign in their hand.
Ji Bonong looked at the situation below with satisfaction. They were not the ones choosing the book, but the book was choosing the people.
How could they have the right to buy the book? Of course, it was Boss Lin who made the choice.
The hourglass on the stage fell silently with a rustling sound. No one in the entire hall raised their hand.
Ah … Uncle Ji Bonong, aren't you embarrassed? Speaking of which, the price isn't that high. Why aren't you raising your hand? Should I give him face?
Franca's little brain was almost scared to death by Eliza. She could not react in time.
Just as Franca was thinking, a small sign was raised.
Ji Bonong narrowed his eyes. This person was … from the Truth Society?
The scholar sitting below the stage was a little scared. However, he was holding a badge filled with spells in his hand. This badge was inlaid with a gem and was given to him by the president of the Truth Society. It was only for the sake of maintaining his rationality at a critical moment.
From a certain perspective, he was indeed representing the president of the Truth Society, Maria.
Ji Zhixu thought to herself. It was just as Boss Lin said. This 《R 'yleh Text》 was given to the Truth Society.
It was said that the president of the Truth Society had reached the level of God. They were righteous and did things in a righteous manner. She did not think that they would participate in this auction, but they secretly sent someone here.
As expected of Boss Lin. He knew the outcome from the beginning … Ji Zhixu sighed.
Ji Bonong had the same thought as Ji Zhixu. He knocked the hammer three times, and the book was sold to the scholar of the Truth Society.
The moment they decided to hand the book over to the Scholar Walker, the cover of the book was closed, and the powerful evil pressure was immediately removed from everyone's heads. They all let out a sigh of relief. However, the murmurs in their ears and the great difference in power brought about by the Scholar Walker still made it impossible for them to think rationally.
"The next book —" Ji Bonong said loudly, "— 《Spirit of Vengeance》. This burning flame is the desire from the deepest part of the human heart. It is enough to reforge your soul."
Ji Zhixu looked at the servant beside her and picked up the book that was wrapped in an exquisite box again.
This time, the book was sealed and suppressed by four rare, smooth purple gems.
The sealing power of purple gems and green gems were not the same. Green gems could calm people down, while purple gems could seal the power of the soul. They were even rarer than green gems.
Ji Bonong smiled and gently opened the box. The book was emitting a faint purple smoke, and the words written on it were impressively —
《Spirit of Vengeance》.
Was it … refining the soul this time?
Mike, the hunter who was standing behind Franca to protect her, was already close to the threshold of being contaminated. He was sweating profusely as if he had been struck by lightning. It was as if his soul was being stripped from his body.
If the 《R 'yleh Text》 was the murmurs of an evil god, then this 《Spirit of Vengeance》 was the pain of tearing one's soul apart.
The reason why Mike did not move when Franca almost died was not because he did not want to move, but because he could not move.
Earlier, it was the corrosion of the body. Now, it was the refinement of the soul.
"Wu …"
Mike let out a suppressed roar. The people around him also had expressions of pain and obsession. The situation was getting out of control. Some people were even chanting words that Mike could not understand.
Except for … Franca.
She asked Mike anxiously. She was nervous and lost. She was so anxious that she wanted to cry.
What was going on?
Why was the title different from what she had seen? What was wrong with everyone?
So, is this the Count of Monte Cristo? Somebody tell me, please. "---But
