Chapter 2693 The Treasure of the Terror Lord
After arranging all this, the worker at home called.
"Mr. Chen, the water in your artificial lake is almost drained. We should be able to salvage the box you mentioned soon."
"Okay, I'll go back right away!"
Chen Mo's expression froze.
If he could avoid death, Chen Mo certainly wouldn't want to die.
He also didn't know why the Fool suddenly wanted to kill him. Logically speaking, since the Fool was so afraid of death, he should know the consequences of killing him.
But since the prophecy mentions this, it is best to take precautions.
"The treasure left by the Terror Lord is the key to my survival on the Day of God's Chosen One. I must find it no matter what."
Thinking of this, Chen Mo packed up and walked towards home with unsteady steps.
As soon as he left the office, Chen Mo met He Chaoling.
"Is there something wrong?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.
"Mr. Chen..."
He Chaoling walked forward with resentment and almost threw herself into Chen Mo's arms.
Chen Mo could smell a very strong scent of Chanel perfume on her.
Chen Mo once saw a video that said people who use this kind of strong-scented Chanel have desires many times stronger than ordinary people.
Of course, this desire also includes the desire for wealth and power.
"Don't touch me. Just say it if you have something to say." Chen Mo gently pushed the mixed-race secretary away.
Unexpectedly, it was this action that made He Chaoling a little unable to jump. She said hysterically: "Sun Mingyue can do it, Zhuge Wan'er can do it, Ji Yimei can do it, even a teacher named Mao Xiongyu can do it, why can't I do it?"
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me? Why do you treat me like this?"
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "I know who can be touched and who can't be touched. Xiao He, don't bother thinking about it. There is no possibility for us. You are too vicious. If I really touch you, with your mind, I am afraid you will take advantage of me and kick me away after using me."
"I have changed. I am very kind now, can't you see that? Isn't it enough that I promise to listen to you?" He Chaoling said with red eyes, aggrieved.
"How about this, let's sign a property agreement to prove that you will not get a penny from me under any circumstances. Also, you resign, divest yourself from the top management of Moyuan Capital, and hand over all your rights. Be a housewife peacefully, and I promise to treat you the same way I treat other people. How about that?"
Chen Mo asked jokingly.
"..."
He Chaoling was silent.
Wouldn't that just make her a canary?
And I can be a canary for free, why?
"See, I told you that what you love is not me as a person, but the money and power in my hands.
I said, people like you are too dangerous. I don't lack women, so why should I take such a big risk to touch you?
My promise is always valid. If you have thought it through, you can come to me at any time. Don't say I didn't give you a chance!"
Chen Mo patted He Chaoling's trembling shoulders, smiled and turned away.
Watching Chen Mo's departing back, He Chaoling clenched her fists and stomped her high heels hard on the ground:
"Don't I deserve your wealth and status? How am I worse than them? For so many years, I have worked tirelessly for you, so it's time for me to take over, right?!"
"Forget it, Chen Mo, when the day of God's selection comes, I will give you a surprise!"
……
……
Wangfu.
Chen Mo stood beside his own sparkling artificial lake with a frown on his face.
In order to get the Terror King's treasure back as soon as possible, Chen Mo decided to pump water day and night.
At night, the pale moonlight sprinkled on the lake, casting a strange color on the water. The pump continued to roar, the workers were busy by the lake, and Chen Mo paced anxiously beside them.
He is really afraid of losing this thing!
The box was not very big, and the artificial lake was connected to the outside. Who knew if the box flowed into the sea along the channel?
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.
The temperature around them inexplicably dropped a little, and the workers couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, a strange sound came from the center of the lake, like someone crying softly, or like the roar of some giant beast.
The workers stopped what they were doing and looked toward the lake in horror.
"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen... Is there anything dirty in your lake?"
Chen Mo immediately scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Although this palace has a history of thousands of years, this artificial lake was only built in recent years. There are no zombies in it, don't worry."
But in fact, Chen Mo lied. This artificial lake was built together with the palace. There are countless wronged souls of eunuchs, palace maids, princesses, and nobles in it.
Not long after, a worker pointed at the bottom of the lake and shouted in a trembling voice: "What...what is that?" Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a black shadow moving slowly at the bottom of the lake, sometimes disappearing and sometimes reappearing.
Chen Mo frowned and thought, why are all things related to the Terror King so weird?
When he sank the box, it looked ordinary, didn't it?
Chen Mo's heart was in his throat, but he still plucked up the courage to go closer to the lake to check.
Just then, the pump stopped working without any warning.
The surroundings instantly fell into dead silence, with only the strange sound that came from nowhere echoing in the ears.
What's even more terrifying is that some mysterious symbols emitting blood-red light began to emerge on the lake. These symbols twisted and swirled, as if telling an ancient and evil curse.
Chen Mo remembered that day, when the Terror Prince ascended to heaven in broad daylight by leaning against a few televisions, the symbols that appeared in the so-called magic circle and the strange sounds coming from the televisions were exactly the same as what he saw before his eyes!
“There is… there is a monster!!!”
At this moment, a young worker next to him suddenly widened his eyes, pointed forward with horror on his face.
In the center of the lake, a huge shadow was seen rolling up the lake water and heading towards this side.
"What are you afraid of? Lao Leng, use the American dip net!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Feng took out a Desert Eagle and fired a volley of bullets at the monster. Soon the lake water was dyed red.
A huge carp carcass floated up.
This carp is at least 5 meters long and weighs about to kilograms.
From a distance, it looks just like a great white shark!
The weirdest thing is...
Its left eye socket was empty, and the box of the Terror Prince was embedded in it.
The fish should not have any expression, but when Chen Mo approached, a faint smile seemed to appear on its face.
That smile gave Chen Mo the chills.
Because he had only seen it on the face of the Terror Prince!
"Is it a coincidence?"
Chen Mo frowned.
Leng Feng took great effort to peel the box off the fish's eye and handed it to Chen Mo.
"How come such a big fish feels like it has lived for at least hundreds of years? If there is a dragon gate for it to jump over, wouldn't it turn into a dragon?" Leng Feng said half-jokingly.
"If you can get over that hurdle, you'll be a dragon, free to roam the vast sea and sky; if you can't get over it, you'll still be a dead fish, and an American scoop net will still be able to catch you easily."
Chen Mo picked up the Terror King's treasure box and muttered to himself.
