章 850: Chapter 66 : Scattered Pieces

*Eliza*

A man, wild and crazy, frantically waved the Cryptex around. His eyes were bloodshot. His lips moved so fast that they were a blur, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying.

My heart hammered in my chest as I watched him freak out.

I’d never seen that man before, but there was something about him that was familiar. His hair… his eyes… the curve of his face…. It reminded me of someone… someone….

“Eliza?”

Jared’s voice rang in my head like a gong going off inside my skull. Then it fell silent again and I was staring at the wild man with the Cryptex.

He threw it on the ground, spittle flying from his mouth in fury. Raging, he dug through the drawers in the desk behind him. He pulled out a hammer with a determined smirk. Dropping to his knees in front of the Cryptex, he brought the hammer down heavily.

I winced as though the hammer had struck me too.

The Cryptex flashed a blinding gold light and shattered. The pieces scattered.
