Where is Anna (3)

Now he remembered that he had come to the Human Realm more than a hundred years ago in order to find some ancient book that might be helpful for him to lift the curse of The Abyss. This pendant was gifted to him by some people who had developed a belief in him. Later, in order to find that ancient book, he went deep into the Vatican Temple. Although the Pope couldn’t see that he was possessing someone, he was considered to be abnormal because his behavior was too different from the one he was possessing. After being injured, he went straight back to the Demon Realm, and hadn’t been to the Human Realm for a long time.

Was Magnolia a descendant of those who once believed in him?

Rothgarr ordered the driver to go to the Lannor’s house where Magnolia was, and when he arrived, it was already dark and the mansion was dimly lit.

He was almost certain that this was the place he was looking for. He sensed that there seemed to be something underground.

He sneered and walked in alone.

Rewinding back to eight in the morning, Anna had been talking to Natalie for a while.

Magnolia, who locked them up, didn’t give them food or water. Fortunately, they had enough to eat before, and they weren’t too hungry now, but they were thirsty and could barely bear it.

In the other cell, Abel had been unconscious since Anna saw him, and if it wasn’t for his eyelashes quivering because of the unease, she almost thought he was dead.

After Magnolia came the night before, the next time she reappeared in front of Anna was when it was approaching evening in Anna’s estimation.

Moreover, Magnolia didn’t come alone. The other people that appeared were Grace and… Leon.

Anna was surprised to see Leon. He also had a black cloth covering his head, and was thrown into the cell on the other side of Abel. He was much more disheveled than when she and Natalie came in, and his whole body was covered with wounds. After recovering his vision, he glanced around first. He looked surprised when he saw Anna and Natalie.

But instead of talking to Anna, he looked at Magnolia and Grace outside the cell, and said solemnly, “Miss Grace, do you know what you are doing?”

Grace leaned against Magnolia with a twisted smile on her face: “Of course I know, I just want you to stay by my side forever.”

She grabbed Magnolia’s hand and asked nervously and expectantly, “Margo, after the sacrificial ceremony, he really will only be an ordinary person, right?”

Magnolia held Grace’s hand back and smiled softly: “Of course. No one will know that he is in your hands, and you can be with him for the rest of your life.”

A blush appeared on Grace’s face, and she nodded happily: “That’s great!”

Anna could not help but ask, “Who is the sacrifice for?”

Magnolia turned her head to look at Anna and smiled mysteriously: “You’ll find out later. You should be honored that your spiritual power and elemental affinity will have a better host.”

Grace also looked at Leon and said softly, “Leon, you don’t have to worry, Margo told me that it won’t hurt. I couldn’t bear for you to be hurt… It’ll be all over in a moment, you don’t need to worry about anything. Maybe you can’t understand it now, but in the future you will know that everything I’m doing today is for our own good.”

Leon said with a sullen face: “Miss Grace, what you’re doing is wrong; it’s not too late to turn back.”

“You’re lying! I’m not wrong!” Grace screamed, her chest heaving due to agitation, and was comforted by Magnolia patting her shoulders. She turned her face away from Leon, and whispered softly, “I’m right, you will understand…”

Knowing that Grace could not be convinced, Leon fell silent.

Anna glanced at Leon and sighed in her heart. Leon was too unlucky to encounter this kind of psychopath.

Of course she wasn’t lucky either. Being entangled by a demon was the biggest misfortune, and it also provoked a vicious person like Magnolia who was not much better than Grace.

She couldn’t help but feel anxious at the moment. Would the demon come to rescue her?

She was sure that the demon would come to save her, so she didn’t panic all day, and even calmed Natalie, who was gradually breaking down. But why hadn’t he come yet?

Magnolia didn’t give Anna another chance to ask questions. Many people in black robes filed in at the door, holding various things in their hands, including unidentified liquids in glass jars and trays holding strange solids. Someone even led a sheep in.

They walked over to the middle of the room, poured the liquids and solids into the depression, cut off the head of the sheep, and poured its blood into the depression as well. At the same time, some people infused dark elements into the depressions as preparation.

This was a demonic ritual!

Anna grabbed Natalie’s hand. Due to fear, Natalie was shaking, and she herself was not much better. The whole space was filled with the smell of sheep’s blood, which was disgusting.

She said she only wanted their mental power and element affinity, but they would definitely be silenced after the ritual was over.

At this moment, Anna suddenly heard a very soft voice, which seemed to be full of pain. She looked towards Abel subconsciously, but saw that he had curled up. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole body was twitching.

“Abel!” She hurriedly rushed over, but unfortunately she still couldn’t reach him.
