Chapter 104:

Testing

“Rebecca?” Aiden was barely stunned.

Rebecca’s face additionally froze for a second, then she sighed as if realizing her personal outburst, “I am sorry, I raised my voice an excessive amount of. However Priscilla is a crucial prisoner we labored onerous to seize. It feels a bit… unsuitable to let her die so simply. You would not simply let her die like that, proper?”

“In fact not, why would you suppose that?” Aiden sighed, making ready to clarify, “Really…”Thi/s chapter is up to date by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

However he abruptly stopped mid-sentence.

Since their first encounter, he had sensed a obscure sense of unease and restlessness in Rebecca’s facial expressions and behaviorhis skilled instincts have been nonetheless intact to that extent.

A probing thought emerged in his thoughts, and after a quick second of contemplation, he spoke, “Really, we have now already taken emergency measures, and her situation is sort of secure. The hospital has been contacted, so you’ll be able to relaxation assured.”

“I see.” Rebecca appeared visibly relieved.

After a quick silence, Aidan referred to as out to her, “Rebecca.”

“What is the matter?”

“Do you will have any recollection of this factor?” Aiden abruptly took out the diamond-shaped black crystal from his pocket and stared intently at Rebecca’s face.

Immediately, he caught Rebecca’s barely widened eyes and delicate modifications in her pupils.

“This factor, I…” Rebecca paused briefly after which replied, “I appear to have some impression…”

“Oh?”

“However I am unable to recollect it.” Rebecca shook her head once more, “However there’s a faint sense of dj vu. What precisely is that this?”

Aiden stared at Rebecca’s face. He had lied about contacting the hospital and abruptly offered the proof as a result of he had change into barely suspicious.

Simply as he noticed the opposite celebration take out this factor with none psychological preparation, he did certainly understand the shock within the different individual’s coronary heart from the delicate change of their expression.

After watching Rebecca depart the room, Aiden’s gaze remained fixated on her till she was out of sight.

A couple of minutes later, Aiden returned to his workplace and as soon as once more examined the pendant.

Rebecca’s sudden go to had heightened his sense of unease in comparison with after they first met within the morning.

Based mostly on the probing simply now, no matter whether or not Rebecca was telling the reality or mendacity, there was one factor that might be decided – Rebecca had certainly seen this “Proof of the Nice Witch.”

In different phrases, Priscilla will need to have forcibly swallowed this merchandise when she was cornered by Rebecca and, affected by various levels of reminiscence loss magic, the incident remained hidden till Priscilla fell in poor health in jail – this was at the moment essentially the most believable clarification.

However why did Priscilla swallow this merchandise? Was it to stop the Proof of the Nice Witch from falling into the palms of the Inquisition Bureau?

One thing would not fairly add up…

This motion itself has no that means in any way. Even when Rebecca forgot concerning the pendant as a result of reminiscence loss magic, as soon as she fell into the management of the Inquisition Bureau, the pendant would ultimately be found.

A fugitive of Priscilla’s caliber being taken into the custody of the Inquisition Bureau would undoubtedly contain thorough physique examinations, together with rectal inspections. If the pendant wasn’t caught within the digestive system, it will be expelled from the physique quickly – making it simply found by the bureau.

The truth that the Inquisition Bureau has but to seek out it’s primarily as a result of the pendant is lodged inside Priscilla. In fact, this additionally led to her struggling right this moment. As soon as she falls in poor health, whether or not it’s the bureau or the jail liable for offering therapy, they may ultimately uncover this pendant hidden inside her. Even within the occasion of her dying, in the course of the investigation into the reason for dying, it will be uncovered by way of post-mortem.

From this angle, swallowing the pendant into the abdomen appears extra like defending the pendant and handing it over to the Inquisition as a present…

Priscilla, the Nice Witch, could not haven’t thought-about this chance and let herself undergo for nothing, proper?

Or maybe, at the moment, she merely did not have the composure to consider this and impulsively swallowed it?

After pondering for some time, Aiden finally determined to quickly put aside his ideas on this matter. It might be extra acceptable to report this to the muscular outdated man on the Inquisition, as each Rebecca’s irregular conduct and this piece of proof fall underneath their jurisdiction. His accountability lies with this jail and its inmates, however for now, he should watch for Priscilla’s situation to stabilize.

With that in thoughts, he ready to place the pendant again into his pocket.

Nevertheless, at that second, the pendant abruptly trembled unnaturally in his fingertips.

Aiden stopped and stared on the pendant in his hand.

The grey mist sealed throughout the pendant abruptly burst out and swallowed him entire.
