Chapter 1290
Crystal’s POV:
The soldiers were hesitant, but they still did what they were told. In the blink of an eye, Noreen was surrounded.
Just as Rufus had said, Noreen had used up all her strength and wasn’t able to resist. She could do nothing as the soldiers closed in on her.
“Mommy, help! I’m scared. Don’t let them touch me!”
It was Beryl’s voice. She kicked and cried loudly, making my heart tighten in my chest.
“Mommy, I’m scared! Don’t let the scary people catch me, please! Mommy, please help me! Daddy, I’m sorry. Please don’t do this to me. I’m sorry!” Rufus grimaced in pain, but he still covered my ears and tried to coax me.
“Don’t listen to a word she says. It’s all fake.”
My hands holding Rufus’s arms kept trembling. This was pure torture!
1 forced myself to look away and hid behind Rufus, sobbing quietly.
Still, I couldn’t stand Beryl’s pained cries, so I told Rufus, “Please tell the soldiers to be gentle. It’s still Beryl’s body they’re dealing with.”
Rufus nodded. “Don’t worry. They know what to do.”
Soon, Noreen was tied up. Seeing that using Beryl’s voice had no effect on us, she stopped tormenting us.
Instead, she cursed us viciously.
“Crystal, you can’t kill me! I still have your daughter’s body! You can’t do anything to me! This is f*****g ridiculous. I’m your aunt! You killed me before, and now, you mistreat me. Crystal, I swear! You’ll die a horrible death! Have you forgotten how your mother died? It was because of you!
It’s all your fault! Everyone close to you will die miserable deaths. I wish you live in regret and pain for the rest of your pathetic life!” I covered my ears to not hear her words, but Noreen’s voice somehow kept ringing in my mind.
At this point, Rufus’ patience ran out. He snapped, “Gag her!”
The soldiers immediately stuffed Noreen’s mouth with cloth to prevent her from making any more noise.
Only then did I sigh in relief. The voice in my head finally ceased.
Noreen was then taken to the dark room. Although she was tied up, the soldiers had made sure to wrap her wrists in towels so that the ropes wouldn’t scratch Beryl’s delicate skin.
Rufus and I were standing in the monitoring room next to the dark room.
We watched her from the other side of the glass and saw that Noreen was still unwilling to give up. Even though she couldn’t speak, she still struggled desperately.
She even slammed her head against the wall.
“No, we must stop her. I’m afraid that Noreen might hurt Beryl’s body.”
As I paced back and forth anxiously, a thought suddenly occurred to me and I asked Rufus to open the door to the dark room.
Rufus obeyed and opened the door.
The dark room was pitch black. In the darkness, I vaguely made out a small bed and a glass window.
You couldn’t see what was on the other side of the glass from inside the dark room. However, from the monitoring room, one could see everything that went on inside the dark room.
I walked to the corner of the bed and cast a spell on the little girl who kept kicking and struggling on the bed. Finally, Noreen calmed down.
1 sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Beryl’s sleeping face for a long time. I couldn’t imagine that there was an evil soul living in her little body.
I also couldn’t imagine how Beryl felt right now. There had to be a way to drive Noreen’s soul out!
“Crystal, let’s go. I’ve asked my people to stay here and watch her all the time.” Rufus could tell that I was in a bad mood, so he tried to persuade me to go back and get some rest.
I nodded, stood up, and held his hand, ready to go out.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
But before I could take a single step, my vision suddenly went black and I passed out.
