Chapter 536
“Do they want to torture people to death, or do they have other intentions Percival’s voice was low,
His rage had reached its peak.
“I can’t tell. It feels like they’re being refined. In short, they’re being used as human fertilizer,” Odalys said
She looked around and said, “Look around. There’s nothing here, yet it’s in the mountains, surrounded by mountains.
y field.
“It’s an ideal energy field. The fact that they could trick Callum and the others into coming here must have something to do with the energy Odalys said, pointing to the surroundings.
Things were getting more and more complicated.
“Is the Simpson family trying to relocate, to escape our attention? But given the Simpson family’s current situation, they can’t withdraw
“Besides, the Simpson family’s target is Crownridge. They would never leave Crownridge.” Percival frowned
It didn’t look like the Simpson family was about to retreat.
“The Simpson family isn’t necessarily retreating. Instead, someone is searching for a powerful energy field. Callum and others might have relentlessly pursued someone. The other party played along with their plan, luring them to a nearby location to use them for practice.
“Wasn’t there a saying from ancient times about using living people for sacrifice? Callum and the others looked like they were being sacrificed alive, but this was a water sacrifice.
“It’s like some buildings that can’t be completed no matter what, so they use living people as sacrifices. After the living people are sacrificed, the construction goes smoothly.
“If this is all for the energy field, then it makes sense that Callum and the others were sacrificed in water.
“There are mountains here, but no water. A good energy field must have both mountains and water. The water in this vat is the spring of the energy field, and their bodies were used as water sacrifices.
“After they died, they were trapped here, guarding this place for them. This is called death sacrifice,” Odalys said.
Orson’s lips moved, but he couldn’t say a word.
He didn’t expect that Callum would be used as a sacrifice.
“The vat was broken by me just now, and the sacrifice failed, so this energy field is ruined,” Odalys said.
Percival listened to her explanation, and a place came to his mind.
He said, “The villa on the outskirts of Crownridge, where more than a dozen bodies were buried alive. It was a place where wicked energy gathered. After the bodies were dug out, the police sealed the place,”
Hearing this, Odalys couldn’t help but look at him appreciatively.
Surprisingly, Percival could connect the dots even though she hadn’t said anything.
“That’s right, Odalys said, “So the person behind this is the same person who was behind that suburban villa. They want to find another perfect energy field to continue what they didn’t finish, but the police cremated the body.
“They need fresh bodies, and Callum and the others are substitutes for the sacrifice.
*Remember these ashes Orson took from Sophia’s room at the Bennet family’s house?” Odalys asked, taking them out.
“It had Atlas‘ astrological signs on it, but after it was burned, Atlas wasn’t affected. I told you that the Love Spell was fake.
“The Love Spell also needs energy to be drawn. Sophia needs someone behind the scenes to perform rituals to maintain her fortune. Now that I’ve destroyed her fortune, the Love Spell she has won’t do her any good.
“The Love Spell in her hand has become useless
“she needs to gather energy again and maintain her fortune for the Love Spell to have power. Sophia may have something special about her that we don’t know about
“Even though she’s caused so much trouble, these people still haven’t given up on her. Sophia is the key,” Odalys said.
Orson fell silent racking his brain, unable to comprehend what made Sophia so special. Aside from seducing men, she seemed to possess no other
Percival said, “Her fortune needs external energy to sustain itself, indicating her inherent energy is negative. In other words, misfortune! Someone intends to use the Love Spell to steal others‘ fortune to protect her.
“Could it be an attempt to conceal her misfortune? Perhaps she’s a jinx, bringing bad luck to those near her, potentially on a scale beyond our imagination.
“So, others want to mask her misfortune, preventing its premature exposure. Perhaps these individuals intend to exploit her misfortune for their purposes?” Percival’s mind raced
His words startled Orson
Having grown up together. Orson had always known Percival to be exceptionally intelligent, but he didn’t expect Percival to understand so quickly.
It seemed Percival could effortlessly connect the dots of what remained unclear to Orson.
“That’s a possibility. But regardless, we can be certain that someone urgently needs a powerful energy field to sustain Sophia’s energy
“To maximize the Love Spell’s effects, it must be drawn in this location.
“Furthermore,” Odalys stated with certainty. “this person could be the mastermind behind Sophia’s being sent to the Bennet family and the one who instigated them to abandon me and wanted to kill me.”
–
“Moreover, this person is likely from the Simpson family or someone behind them.” Percival added.
Odalys nodded slightly.
It seemed that everything made sense not
now.
“Damn it, what is the Bennet family up
pto?” Orson c
couldn’t help b
help but curse.
He couldn’t imagine what these people were trying to do. They treated lives with such disregard.
“I finally understand why they were in such a hurry to get Francis’s body. With his low fortune, it would be easy for someone to take over his body. But these people need an assistant when they are looking for a powerful energy field.
“These deceased individuals unwilling to leave this world are filled with resentment and need to accomplish something quickly..
“So, they need a lot of vengeful spirits or other assistance. After all, this kind of energy doesn’t come overnight, so they want to plant a spy by my side.
“And this
person must be very close to me. It can divert my attention. If you hadn’t mentioned Callum, we would have gone home after dealing with what happened to Francis
“By the time we realized it, Callum and the others would already be dead, and the energy field ritual here would have been completed.
“This tactic of feinting to the east but attacking the west is something. None of us expected that someone would set their sights on Callum. especially since he’s a member of the Stewart family. He’s so close to you.
“So, if Callum still thinks about you after his death, it’s highly likely that they’ll guide him toward you. Odalys continued.
Orson was stunned.
“So, tonight, while you were saving Francis, someone had already set a death trap for Callum?” Orson was at a loss for words to describe how he felt.
