Our family is in decline

Audrey couldn't remember what happened at all. She just felt like she was back to her carefree childhood.

She was born with a golden key in her mouth. As a member of the upper class, she does not need to worry about survival. Enjoying a refined life is her daily life.

The days were spent on horseback, and the evenings belonged to the dance hall.

The old aristocrat did this every day when he got up, nothing else.

It wasn't until she came of age that she married into a wealthy family that was more powerful than theirs, but this was also the beginning of her nightmare.

During the day, she is the noble and elegant hostess of a luxurious manor. To outsiders, the relationship between the two parties is so intimate and humble, but at night, she is the outlet for her husband's wild desires and drunkenness.

Finally fed up with the humiliation and abuse night after night, she chose to commit murder to lead to freedom and a rich inheritance.

Poisoning the wine, she whispered compliments and comforts and watched her husband drink the poisoned wine. At this time, she felt extremely happy in her heart.

Seeing her husband fall to the ground with poisonous hair, she remained indifferent to the call for help with a sneer on her face, and watched his hypocritical apology slowly turn into desperate sobs.

There is no doubt that she succeeded. The loving look she put on in the past prevented everyone from noticing that the murderer was nearby.

Now everything belongs to her, and she has become the real mistress of the manor.

At that time, she thought she was the happiest, doing whatever she wanted, being pursued by countless men, and those so-called gentlemen couldn't wait to please her and want to be favored.

However, several years of squandering and financial management mistakes have plunged the manor into deep debt. When the money is gone, the bees and butterflies that have gathered will also disappear.

Facing the debt collection from her creditors and about to be evicted, she walked in the empty hall. Anger and shame filled her heart. She didn't know what would happen to her after losing everything. In the end, only the bitter wine was left. Give her some comfort.

While drunk, she yelled obscene words at her ex-husband's portrait, but she also noticed that her ex-husband's possessive hand in the portrait was pressing on her shoulder.

The gleam of light depicted in the portrait reminded her that his ring was missing and could only be buried with it.

In order to maintain her social status, she will plunder her ex-husband's grave, steal the rings from his knuckles, and even knock out the gold teeth in his mouth.

She calls it "I want what you owe me back."

But cemeteries are always guarded by gravekeepers, and sometimes people from the church will patrol. Fortunately, there have been no incidents for many years, so the gravekeepers have relaxed their vigilance.

The two of them had a fight in the cemetery. Compared to the timidity of the tombkeeper, her ferocity had the upper hand. When she realized that it would be difficult to do anything without killing the tombkeeper, she sneaked up and killed the tombkeeper with a pickaxe. people.

Immediately blood splattered, and the warm blood dripping on her skin gave her a special feeling.

You must know that the blasphemy of tomb robbing is a very bad crime. Once discovered, she will not only lose everything and fall from her high aristocratic status, but she will probably have to choose between the gallows and the stake.

One can imagine the pressure she felt when she was almost discovered by the tomb guard just now.

But the accumulated pressure was instantly released, and now she is the master of the cemetery!

That feeling simply plunged her into an unprecedented excitement, and instantly opened up a new world for her.

As if she had awakened, she could plow ten acres of land in one breath without feeling tired.

But she was dumbfounded when she entered the cemetery. A few years had passed and she had not come to pay homage, so she had long forgotten the specific location and only remembered the general range.

In this case, it was impossible to go back and wait for daylight. The only option was to open the blind box in the dark and dig out the tombstones that looked more ornate.

Opening a coffin and seeing the funerary objects made her feel more or less like she had gained something, and she worked even harder for a while.

Soon she found her ex-husband's coffin and got everything she wanted from the corpse that had long since rotted into white bones.

But this kind of thing is far from enough, and more is needed to fill the shortfall caused by profligate spending.

This happens only once and countless times, it's like an addiction.

She quickly set her sights on the tomb chambers built of heavy stones and buried deep underground.

Only those with real strength can do this kind of thing, and they are not defenseless. There are usually traps hidden in the tombs.

It would be even more powerful if the owner of the tomb is related to extraordinary power. The tomb-guarding spirits are restrained by strange powers, and there are evil rituals...

Anyway, even professional tomb robbers may get involved in various complex situations, let alone a novice like Audrey who comes in rashly.

But sometimes there is always a protection period for newbies. Audrey randomly selected that place and found some cracked traps on the ground after going to the tomb.

As we went deeper, we discovered more messy scenes, with flying knives and poisonous needles scattered on the ground or walls.

She seemed to be able to feel who was fighting against the traps and non-existent guys.

It's just that these traces are covered with a layer of dust, as if they are old.

This scene did not deter a naturally courageous person like Audrey, but instead aroused her curiosity.

Even though he realized that this tomb had been occupied by someone else, he still couldn't help but go all the way deep into the tomb chamber.

It can only be said that the aura of a novice is invincible. What she saw when she came in was not the ransacked main tomb chamber, but an open coffin. The funerary objects inside were enough to drive her crazy.

But the strange thing was that the corpse sitting in the corner had long since turned into a mummy. There were all kinds of strange things on his body. Only the strange pendant on his chest attracted her attention.

She didn't know what happened here, but she knew it was all hers now.

Take away everything, including everything from the mummy.

He simply restored the dug grave and eliminated all traces of himself.

As for the corpse of the tombkeeper, when she returned there, she found a few wild dogs that didn't know where they came from and were chewing on the corpse.

The corpses that were constantly being torn apart caused a messy scene that had long lost its original traces. It was simply a blessing from God.

When she returned to the empty manor, her restless heart calmed down. She counted the harvest tonight. The treasures were enough to repay the debt she owed.

Until she focused on what she got from that weird corpse.

Among all kinds of strange tools and props, she dug out a small notebook from her bag, and the contents of this notebook revealed to her the identity of the mummified tomb robber.

This also brought her into a world she had never been exposed to before. She was deeply addicted to magical powers, dangerous tombs, various traps, and various weird props and rituals.

When she came back to her senses, she was lying on the hall, laughing uncontrollably. She was filled with joy, and the light in her eyes was even better than the brilliance of the stolen treasure.

That is to say, everyone in the manor will be fired, otherwise the news of her madness will spread throughout the city the next day, and the news will be that she is driven crazy by the debt.

Only Audrey herself knew that she had lived in vain for so many years, including the gorgeous manor, the exquisite clothes, the noble status, and the luxurious life...

All this is just a prison!

When the armed officials came to evict her, they were surprised to find that the main entrance of the manor was lifelessly ajar, and the luxurious carpets were in a mess, filled with dust and fallen leaves.

And on the floor of the hall, a pile of treasures shone brightly, but the mistress of the manor was nowhere to be seen...

As for what she went to do?

Of course, I digested the notes and used other places to open treasure chests to practice.

In reality, Lance tasted Audrey's story.

It was probably a girl from a rich family who married into a richer family. She originally thought of marrying into a wealthy family, then playing music and dancing, but who knew she would meet a ruthless man.

How could she, who had been well clothed and well-fed since she was a child, bear this anger? She poisoned him to death and spent the old man's gold coins to support the pretty boy.

But he did not have the ability to run a family business. He lost all his family property within a few years after being addicted to pleasure, and turned around to rob tombs.

By chance, she picked up a bargain and got the inheritance of a tomb robber who died for unknown reasons, and then began to pursue the excitement she longed for.

It's also very abstract here. The tombkeeper was so timid that he didn't even dare to check, so he just called a few times at the entrance of the cemetery.

If Lance had been there, he might have caught the crappy guy long ago, starting with "You don't want to, ma'am...".

What's more, all the dangers in the first big tomb were eliminated, and she got good things and the accumulation of a tomb robber, which directly helped her solve the most difficult starting point.

Lance also understood why she thought of challenging Hamlet after hearing those things. It was completely a psychological problem.

She lacked nothing since she was a child and could get every request met. After her husband died, she had a lot of money for her to squander. She also had no goals or ideals. After her indulgence, her soul became increasingly empty and difficult to be satisfied.

The tomb robbing experience gave her great stimulation, and the pressure accumulated from various complex emotions such as fear and anxiety.

Until he successfully escaped with the treasure, all the pressure was released at this moment and turned into a strong sense of pleasure.

To put it simply, her numb body can only feel pleasure through the intense stimulation brought by constant adventures.

The adventure here is literally seeking the thrill of high wire dancing.

Lance prefers to use another word to describe it, that is - seeking death!

What's interesting is that when this person unconsciously describes those events, he always keeps making excuses for himself, blaming all the reasons on his ex-husband and everything around him. He feels that it is not himself who is wrong, but the world.

Lance's different opinions on this are purely Audrey's own problem.

Margaret's well-fed and well-fed life fostered an upright and kind character, but she turned into a little fairy. The individual differences are too great.

It is undeniable that there are reasons for unhappy marriage and domestic violence, but Audrey's cruelty is difficult to conceal.

The gravekeeper didn't offend her, didn't even know her, and was killed by her without doing anything.

Similarly, when Audrey was being arrested just now, she went directly for the purpose of killing. If the people Lance sent to arrest were not all masters, ordinary police would probably have killed a lot of people if they wanted to catch her.

A vicious, greedy, hedonistic, spendthrift, brainless, standard fairy who likes to shirk responsibility when something goes wrong.

An alcoholic, domestically violent, hypocritical, twisted and controlling person.

Lance could only hope that the little fairy and the domestic violence man would be locked up and not let these two guys come out to harm ordinary people.

But it's a pity that the domestic violence man is not strong enough and is not cruel enough as the little fairy, so he just explodes with gold coins.

He used his money to squander the pretty boy, and in the end the treasure chest was opened in the tomb, and all the funerary objects were used to make up for the shortfall. All I can say is that the two were a perfect match.

"Where's the notebook? Where is that thing?"

Lance searched all over her body but could not find the most important thing. Sometimes knowledge is the most precious thing.

"Aba Aba..."

"The cunning rabbit has three caves~"

After receiving the answer, Lance couldn't help but sigh.

Because before she came into Hamlet, she hid some important things in a grave outside the town.

To enjoy the thrill of escaping from death, one must make corresponding preparations, including food, medicine, weapons, and of course money.

That is to say, normally, even if she is really being chased in the town, she can kill the police, then grab some of the things she prepared in advance from the northwest and escape from the town, and finally go to the barren grave to get supplies, ensuring that even if she loses them all, Even if only one person is left, he can quickly recover.

Sure enough, although this guy likes to cause trouble, he still has something to offer if he is still alive today.

As for why she didn't bring her notebook, it was because it could identify her. Although the two of them, thief and tomb robber, both stole things, there was only one word difference, but there was still a big difference.

The golden talisman greatly increased her strength, and it was even more secretive when hidden on her body, so most people wouldn't be able to recognize it.

Unexpectedly, it was hidden in underwear and escaped Laura's simple search. Amanda took it out directly, and at a glance, he was identified as a pure tomb robber.

"Go to sleep. Once you sleep, you will forget everything."

Lance controlled her and fell into a deep sleep. Then he tidied up the scene and sat back down to deal with the affairs at hand.

Soon the teams that went out to search brought back the bloody clothes wrapped in cloth, intact.

Now with her testimony, the lost items were found, and clues such as footprints and wax drops also matched up.

With all the personal and material evidence available, how should the case be tried?

"So how should we deal with it?"

When William said this, everyone also looked at the lord. Only Amanda glanced at Audrey on the ground, with a somewhat confused look on her face.

The effects of the medicine shouldn't have worn off so quickly, so how could I sleep so peacefully?

"This matter is not suitable to be made public, otherwise it is likely to cause the imitator to continue provoking the police." Lance has also made rough arrangements for handling this. "Put her in a sanatorium and starve her for a few days first, and wait for this incident." Let’s deal with it slowly after the matter calms down.”

"We caught her, shouldn't we scare those people? Why did it cause provocation?" Disma was a little confused.

Lance was not surprised by their doubts and explained patiently.

"Because..." (End of Chapter)
