Chapter 151: Master
Irene hung up the phone. Following that, Lauren heard Irene and the man outside opening the doors of the other rooms. She had no idea what they were doing.
A few minutes later, Lauren heard the sound of moving cages.
The cages made a loud, ear-piercing noise as they collided with each other and were dragged to the ground.
Lauren remembered that they had said yesterday that they were going to get some things done today. It sounded like they were about to start now.
But Lauren did not know how she was going to peek. After all, the door to her room could be opened at any time.
If she unlocked the cage now, she would not be able to lock the cage door in time if someone came in.
As a result, Lauren could only continue sitting inside the cage.
The sound of moving the cage continued for a few minutes before it stopped. Then, the basement door opened again.
“Aunt Irene.” It turned out to be the woman who came yesterday.
After that, the woman greeted the master.
“I’ve brought all these pendants over. There’s a total of six, right?”
“Yes, there’s a total of six.”
‘Wait a minute? Pendants? Is this a drama series?’
Lauren was a little confused.
Over at Pauline’s side, the souls of the living dead were placed in the pendants. Could it be that Irene was doing the same thing?
Lauren really wanted to know what was going on outside.
So, after struggling for a long time, she took out her butterfly mirror from her pocket dimension.
Before she released the butterflies, she specifically whispered to the butterflies, telling them not to fly out and to just look under the door.
They would definitely attract attention if they flew out.
The butterflies were also very obedient. As expected, they only flew under the door.
A row of butterflies gathered at the door. The little light that came through the door was blocked by the butterflies.
Lauren took out the lighter-like object from the day before. She pressed it and it emitted a weak light.
Lauren used the light to look at the scene in the mirror.
Since the angle of the butterflies was rather strange, Lauren could not see their faces clearly from this angle. She could only see the position of their thighs downward.
After waiting for a while, the so-called ritual began.
The man first dragged out one of the cages. There was a child sitting in the cage.
Then, the cage was opened and the child was helped out by the man. The child staggered to a place that Lauren could not see.
About a minute later, the child was helped back into the cage.
Lauren could see blood dripping from the boy’s hands onto the floor as he walked back into the cage.
Lauren then heard the man begin to chant an incantation.
Lauren could not understand what he was chanting. It was not the language of this country. Instead, it sounded like a strange, foreign language.
The incantation lasted for a full minute.
The moment the man stopped chanting, the basement suddenly burst into a red light.
Lauren could only see a limited area, so she could not see where the light came from. However, she guessed that it must have been from the pendant.
They then dragged another cage and the man began chanting again. This process was repeated six times.
“That’s enough. After this, these pendants can last for another three months,” the man said.
“That’s good. Many people have told me that they don’t have as many resources as before. I think the pendants are not effective enough,” the niece said.
“That’s right. If you want to keep them active, you have to nourish them with fresh blood regularly.”
“Oh right, master, there was a new girl yesterday. Please take a look at the auspicious time and perform the ritual for her.”
Lauren recognized that it was Irene who was talking.
“Sure, I checked it yesterday. The nearest auspicious time is ten o’clock tomorrow morning. If you wait any longer, it will be next month.”
Through the butterfly mirror, Lauren could see that Irene and the master were walking towards them.
Lauren quickly called the butterflies back, but before they all flew back, Lauren hurriedly stuffed the mirror back into the pocket dimension.
When the people outside opened the door and came in, there were still two or three butterflies flying.
The room was installed with lights, but Lauren did not see the switch when she looked around yesterday.
After Irene came in, she used her phone to press a few buttons, and the lights in the room were switched on.
So that was how the lights were switched on.
‘Technology really changes life,’ Lauren thought to herself.
