Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

Aslan Hotel.

There was another big news in Gotham tonight, plus Bruce, Tony, Luthor and other social figures left early due to various accidents, the dinner ended in a bit of a hurry.

Fortunately, all the funds for the fundraiser have been raised in the first half, with several world-class wealthy businessmen present, and the KPI was even exceeded. This made the person in charge sent by the Aros Foundation very happy.

After seeing off all the guests, the person in charge swiped his card with a smile to enter the presidential suite on the top floor.

As soon as the door was opened, the scene in front of him was like being robbed, the decorations and furniture were overturned, and the curtains and tablecloths were torn into shreds and floated everywhere.

Lucia's hair was disheveled, her eyes were loose, and a ferocious expression appeared on her delicately made-up face, obviously delirious.The veins in her arms were bulging, her five fingers turned into claws, and she firmly grabbed the man in the black cloak by the neck, pressing him into the sofa forcefully, her fingers were still closing in, making a terrifying click sound of bones rubbing against each other.

The crimson vine marks had spread to her limbs, like some kind of weird parasite.

"Relax...Relax..." The man took a deep breath with difficulty, and awkwardly comforted the furious Lucia, "It's all right..."

The person in charge was obviously taken aback, and stopped outside the living room hesitantly.

However, Lucia had already heard the movement, and in the next second, a gust of wind "swished" past, and this time the person in charge was picked up by the neck and pressed against the wall with a "bang".

"Ma'am... I'm... innocent..." The person in charge dropped the bag on the ground, and he tried to break Lucia's hand, but he didn't know where the effort came from, who usually looks weak and weak. No matter how the person in charge struggled, her fingers remained motionless like iron tongs.

"It's useless for you to beg her, she's just a container." The liberated man sat up on the back of the sofa, rubbed his neck, and said in a hoarse voice, "Damn it, just test it out, as for being crazy like this? Nothing happened before…”

The man paused for a while, and finally stood up.At this time, the person in charge had already breathed in but not breathed out. Seeing that he was going to die soon, he couldn't move anymore, and his protruding eyes stared at the man pleadingly.

"Look at you, I won't really let you die." The man complained, and pulled out a syringe from his cloak. His body turned into mist and floated behind Lucia like a ghost.The mist rolled up the syringe, caught Lucia's neck unexpectedly, and pushed the pure black potion into her body.

The effect was immediate. Lucia closed her eyes, fainted, and fell down straight. Her loose long hair and skirt were spread out on the soft carpet, and with the tattoo-like branches on her skin, she looked like a A withered plant.

The person in charge was saved. He slid down the wall and sat slumped on the ground, clutching his neck and coughing violently, his throat was so sore that it was about to explode. "Boss, boss...cough cough! What's going on?"

"There should be something wrong with His Highness..." Misty drifted back into the sofa and gathered into a man with an irritable face. "I have to go back to the Holy Church. You will be responsible for the safety of container 8 before I come back."

"Watch out, don't let that stupid woman Jennifer torture her to death!" the man shouted, "Number 8 is the one with the best qualifications!"

"Also," his eyes fell on the unconscious Lucia, his eyes gradually became cold, and his voice was almost inaudible, "She doesn't know that His Highness is still alive, and don't let her know."

He didn't say any threatening words, but the person in charge knew that once he dared to reveal the absolute prohibition to Lucia, he would disappear from this world forever.

The person in charge nodded like a pounding garlic.

"It's the part that I don't like very much again," Yuanchun murmured, "Because every time the analysis is over, I can find something that makes me very sad."

Yuanchun collapsed on the side of the sofa, subconsciously pressing his chest.Since being calculated by the friendly little magic that Doctor Strange greets her with, she's seen a 50% increase in frailty since she's in the habit.

"Then analyze it tomorrow." Jason simply closed the notebook that was going to record the clues.

"Today's work is over today, come on!" Yuanchun said angrily.

Jason: "..."

Strictly speaking, today is just the beginning, you can wake up and torture yourself... Jason silently opened the notebook again while complaining in his heart.

"You talk first." Yuanchun grabbed a hard fruit candy and threw it at Jason.

Compared to Genjun, who is wearing Maeve's shell and attracting everyone's attention, Jason, who is pretending to be a waiter, moves more freely at the banquet.

Jason peeled off the candy wrapper, gritted his teeth with a candy in his mouth, "The biggest investor in the Moon River Orphanage is the Aros Foundation... the old man also donates a lot every year, but he donates to every orphanage in Gotham. "

Wayne Group, rain and dew, have never favored one another.

"Is there any problem with the Aros Foundation?" Yuanchun called out the light screen, and with one operation, he added new keywords to BB's search program, and quickly found a lot of information.

The Aros Foundation was established in 1921 by members of the royal family of Markvia, a small country in Eastern Europe. The original purpose was to care for poor women and children in the country. Later, Markvia disintegrated, but the Aros Foundation remained and gradually grew.

Carlos Green, the current chairman of the board, is a handsome man with a gentle personality. The elegant gentleman described in the love novel is like him when he comes to life.His only flaw is that his legs were disabled due to a car accident three years ago, and he can only rely on a wheelchair to travel since then.

After the car accident, Carlos seldom appeared in the public eye. Most of the activities were performed by the secretary, and he did not come tonight.

"No problem for now." Jason concluded, "Intuition doesn't count, there is no evidence."

"Then leave it there for now, I have a major discovery here." Yuanchun finished browsing the new email, turned the light screen to Jason, and showed him Alan Davis' reply.

The email was delivered yesterday, but Yuanchun had slept in and was in a rush for the party, so he couldn't check the email immediately.

"I heard a story at the banquet..."

Yuanchun quickly recounted to Jason the "Ruby's Bloody Life" told by Louise.

The story is actually not special, but rather tacky. Similar plots are widely circulated around the world, and there are multiple versions. There are gems, jade carvings, famous paintings, and antiques... No matter what the subject is, the content is similar. All these precious people were cursed, dead, crazy, and none of them had a good end. In the end, all those who did not believe in evil died, and the treasures were nowhere to be found.

If it weren't for being extremely irritated by the FOG organization that is elusive, and sensitive to the word "fog", Yuanchun would not care at all.

Yuanchun finished speaking, and Jason also read the email.

Most of the content of the email overlaps with Louise’s story, and the parts that do not overlap are summarized as follows:

Alan Davis was surprised by the ruby ​​necklace submitted by Yuanchun for inspection. He was sure that this gemstone was auctioned off by himself more than 30 years ago, and the buyer was a well-known socialite in Gotham at that time. Lina Johnson, she and her husband both died of illness later, and her son Justin was an ignorant prodigal son, and the family property was quickly wiped out in his hands.Nothing has been heard about the Legendary Gem since then.

"Justin Johnson," Jason circled the name with a red pen, "Does that sound familiar?"

Yuanchun said softly: "The secretary of the Star Welfare Institute."

Just at this time, BB completed the investigation of "the current situation of the children and staff of the Star Welfare Institute" and submitted a long document.

Justin Johnson has a sister named Mary who opened an orphanage after divorcing her husband. In 1995, a child committed suicide by jumping off a building in the orphanage. She was hit hard and transferred the orphanage. She left Gotham and went to college He lived in the city of Vienna at that time, and died in a car accident two years later.

Justin stayed in Gotham, and without his sister's support, he became more and more impoverished. A year later, he was robbed and killed by drunken gangsters.

Chef Paul Smith joined a chain restaurant with his outstanding cooking skills. Two years later, he accidentally ate seafood while eating in the back kitchen, and died of severe allergies.

Security guard Robert Iverson, who joined the community|gang|gang after losing his job, was killed in a conflict with hostile forces two months later.

……

To paraphrase a famous novel by Agatha Christie - None Survived.

Even though he had already heard the speculation from Yuanchun, the moment the answer was confirmed, Jason still felt a chill down his back, and strong anger rose in his heart.

"What do these people think of human life?" Jason squeezed the carbon pen used to record clues, and he hadn't been so angry for a long time.

"Life is the best material for sacrificial rituals," Yuanchun said blankly. "With such a large-scale death, I suspect that someone has ever summoned something in the orphanage... or blindly stared at the ruby." Engaging in spells, inadvertently summoning evil."

It's a pity that the welfare home has long been bulldozed, and the welfare home reproduced by the mist in the alien space has also been destroyed, otherwise we could still look for clues.

The only one who knows the truth now, besides Lucia, is the FOG organization.

"Since gemstones are real, no matter how outrageous the legends about them are, there will always be a part that uses reality. What we need to do is try to distinguish." Yuanchun patted Jason on the shoulder and changed the subject, " Based on our experience, I think the curse on the gem comes from the fog sealed inside, and pouring fog into the gem is obviously a common method used by the FOG organization.”

There are already many examples, which are enough to analyze the characteristics of these mysterious fogs of unknown origin——

It is similar to mana and can be a substitute for mana.After Yuanchun absorbed it, he was able to transform the mist into magic power.But the FOG organization may not be able to achieve direct conversion like her, which is why gem magic was developed.

It is polluting.Ordinary high school students such as Ned and Sarah can hardly resist its erosion and can only rely on the protection of pure rune stones. Peter, Jason and Damian are relatively better.

"The rest of the characteristics are my guesses. There is no direct evidence. After all, they are just legends... You can try to verify it next time you meet." Yuanchun's voice sounded a little heavy, as if he had thought of something bad.

Jason listened carefully.

Yuanchun paused for a moment and took a deep breath: "It can also fulfill people's wishes."

After getting the gem, the old and decrepit Marquise returned to her youthful appearance;

After the rich lady got the gem, her family's birthday was in full swing, and she also found a good marriage.

"But they all died later." Yuanchun continued, "The wish came true, and I gave my life..."

"This is making a wish to the devil."
