Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

Bai Ningle's outlook was shattered, and she exclaimed: "Ashes?! What does he want to do? Doesn't he have any special hobby..."

She once saw a news story about a man who suffered from pica and had to eat ashes every day.

However, that man was not as crazy as Deng Honghua. He collected pig bones and cow bones left over from slaughterhouses, and then asked people to burn them into ashes.

In the metaphysical world, spells that can use ashes are mostly evil spells.

"You can't even imagine why Deng Honghua took so many people's ashes..." Deng Yan's words contained deep hatred.

That man was obviously her father, but after she was forced to death by Deng Honghua, the man was still unwilling to let him go.

Chu Yao thought of where they were now. The escape room she and Bai Ningle originally went to was located in the commercial street.

She often heard Bai Ningle mention that several commercial streets nearby were built when she was a child, right after the mass poisoning incident in the canteen.

"He sold your ashes to investors in commercial buildings and then buried them underground?" Chu Yao asked.

Deng Yan was silent for a moment and nodded.

Chu Yao guessed well. In ancient times, if high-rise buildings or bridges were to be built, people would also perform "living sacrifices" in order to appease the dead in the land or rivers.

There are even cruel people who will directly seal live children into bridge piles. This practice is called "live pile driving".

However, many people don’t know that in fact, living people are not necessarily needed to drive live piles, and ashes can also have a certain effect.

Moreover, the use of human sacrifices now is too obvious, and it is easy for people to find traces.

The ashes are different. As long as you can bribe the employees of the funeral home, it is not difficult to get other people's ashes, and it is difficult for family members to notice whether some of the ashes are missing.

Of course, employees who dare to do this will definitely have to pay a corresponding price, but the money is very attractive, and the boss of the commercial building can get huge benefits from it, and the remuneration to the employees will not be less.

Deng Yan added: "This is just one of the places. As far as I know, this ceremony is performed in at least eight places in the imperial capital."

Eight?

This special number immediately caught Chu Yao's attention, and she asked: "Do you know the specific locations of these eight places?"

Deng Yan shook his head, "Most of the commercial buildings were built after my death. I am trapped in this place again. I have only heard of a few names."

She told the two of them the information she learned. These places were not all well-known shopping malls. Two of them were very ordinary restaurants that even Chu Yao had never heard of.

"It's a pity that our mobile phones are not here, otherwise we could check it online." Bai Ningle said distressedly.

Their mobile phones were confiscated before entering the secret room. Even if Deng Yan wanted to help them, he could not do anything.

"Mobile phone?" Deng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then a mobile phone from four or five years ago appeared in her hand and handed it to Bai Ningle.

Bai Ningle pressed the power button in surprise, and there was still power.

"This was left by someone else in the secret room. Because there is a space that overlaps with the secret room, it fell in." Deng Yan explained.

This mobile phone comes with map software, so you can view detailed maps of the imperial capital even if you are not connected to the Internet.

Several people marked the name mentioned by Deng Yan on the map. Bai Ningle frowned and said, "Why does this shape look like a worm?"

Indeed, the eight points on the map meander like a slender worm or snake.

But Chu Yao's eyes were lowered. She still underestimated Deng Honghua's ambition. Deng Honghua wanted more than just wealth and power.

He actually wanted to seal the dragon vein of the imperial capital.
