Chapter 108: Accept As Truth
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After Chen Zhao left the basement, Fali suddenly had a lot of questions.
“Chen, how come Walter can go in?”
“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. Walter isn’t a regular dog.”
“I knew it!” Fali exclaimed. “I knew that Walter isn’t ordinary! It has some special duty, right? It must be so! You took him away from me because it must complete it’s duty.”
“Yes, Walter is a guardian beast. He has guarded this place since ancient times, reincarnating many times. Some problems occurred this time though. He stayed in with the Coastal Rescue Team. He saved many people, but he neglected his duty, so he was punished and got cancer. I had to bring him here so he could continue his duty.”
“I see. I finally understand.” Fali believed it. She really believed it…
“So…if I’m here, will I affect Walter’s duty?”
“The thing sealed within the door can’t come out. But if someone enters it, it may sneak into the person’s body and escape like that. At that time, Walter will be punished even more severely.”
“I understand. I won’t go in.” Fali nodded seriously. “What about you? Is it your duty to guard this place too?”
“Pretty much, but I have more duties. You know, there are actually a lot of places in this world that seal the things you fear. My job is to patrol like a security guard and check all the seals.”
“Are there more seals in this town?”
“You already know enough. Asking more won’t help you.”
“There must be more seals, right?”
Miss, just keep imagining.
However, Fali’s curiosity pushed her to keep asking. In the beginning, Chen Zhao could give some vague answers. Gradually, Fali started throwing out crazy and absurd questions.
Fali was honestly pissing Chen Zhao off. “Fali, look at my eyes.”
“Huh?” The instant Fali met Chen Zhao’s eyes, a wave of fatigue hit her.
The Banshee’s Charm was activated. Chen Zhao grabbed the unconscious Fali and tossed her onto the sofa.
This woman was annoying, but her body and feeling was amazing.
The Banshee’s Charm was very powerful. They could get hypnotized easily if they weren’t careful. If they went to a bar, they would get ten corpses in a night.
The only bad part about the spell was that they’d have to sleep for at least 12 hours and nothing could wake them up.
At 12 o’clock, Fali’s screams sounded in the living room. She first checked her clothes and body. She didn’t calm down until she was sure no one had done anything to her.
She was sure that she’d been hypnotized by a spell, because she remembered the last moment before she’d lost consciousness.
“Robio, I’m sorry. I overslept.” Fali called Robio first.
“It’s okay. There’s not much work in the morning, but your excuse is too weak.”
Overslept? Robio knew that Fali would never sleep in. She’d also never been late in her two years as part of the team. Plus, who could sleep in until 12?
“It’s that bastard’s fault.”
Robio was already imagining things. Fali was probably late because she messed around with some man.
“Can you come today?”
“I need to wash up. It’ll take an hour.”
…
“Ethan, give me a hamburger.”
“One dollar, thanks.”
“I just gave you $1,500.”
“I deserved that.”
“Auntie Li, give me some food.”
Li Qing got up with a smile to get food from the kitchen. She was very grateful to Chen Zhao. The man had reached out in her most difficult period and given her a place to stay.
She also knew about Chen Zhao and Ethan’s relationship.
“Oh, right. That old witch is looking for you.”
“What old witch… Oh, your wife?”
“Ex-wife,” Ethan corrected.
“What does she need?”
“I think someone in the prison she’s in charge of needs your treatment.”
“I’m not going,” Chen Zhao said. He didn’t like that place. He’d also never been there before.
More importantly, Caprice gave him way too much pressure. Chen Zhao wasn’t good at dealing with such overbearing women, let alone a prison warden.
Chen Zhao felt like this woman would definitely be the behind-the-scenes boss in a TV show.
“Whatever.”
“That’s it? I thought you’d try to convince me.”
“Why should I convince you? I hate her too.” Ethan rolled his eyes.
“Good.”
“But people who reject her usually don’t have good endings.”
“Uh…what’s her number?”
…
In the end, Chen Zhao still went to the Simpson Prison so he wouldn’t have unnecessary problems. It wasn’t smart to offend a prison warden.
She didn’t have any law enforcement power, but she did manage a prison. There were thousands of bastards with more than enough horrible criminals. Thus, Chen Zhao didn’t want to have conflicts with a prison warden.
He brought his entire family this time, even taking Blackie along.
Contrary to what he’d imagined, Simpson Prison wasn’t that eerie. Most of the place was clean and orderly.
It wasn’t break time when he entered, so the prisoners were all in his cells. Judging from the environment, it should have medical facilities and doctors. Why did they look for him?
“Miss Caprice, where is my patient?” Chen Zhao asked.
“Follow me.” Caprice took Chen Zhao past cell after cell.
“Hey, new kid, come here.”
“Hey, Asian, where’s your room? Let’s be friends…”
Caprice glanced at Chen Zhao. “Are you afraid?”
“Uh…them? They’re just pretending to be fierce.” Chen Zhao wasn’t afraid of the ones who called out.
Caprice took Chen Zhao to a cell at the end of the hall. There was only one prisoner—an old man around 60 years old. He sat on the bed and was extremely thin.
Chen Zhao observed him. He’d probably just come in. He was clean and though he was wearing the prison uniform, he still looked very composed.
“He’s your patient.”
