Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 228 The Henderson family

"According to legend, the old ancestors of the Henderson family once saved a woodcutter in the

mountains; that woodcutter was dying, and only after the ancestors examined him did they discover

that he had, in fact, a sore on his abdomen."

Cara's cloudy eyes stared into the void, as if she had returned to the way she had sat on a bench

listening to stories as a child, with a bit of despondency in her eyes.

"The sore was strange, not large in size, but on closer inspection, it turned out to be a human face, with

a nose and mouth. At that time, the ancestors were also shocked, but seeing that the woodcutter was

dying, they tried their best to save his life."

"But the ancestor had never seen such a strange sore, so they did not have a solution. After trial, they

failed to save that woodcutter. When that woodcutter died, his body nearly empty of blood, but the only

thing that was horrible was that the sore, which was like a human face, was still moving, as if it was

breathing, sometimes showing its mouth and nose, sometimes hidden in the skin. ."

Hearing this, Ruby's eyes flashed and she ventured a guess.

"This human face like sore, should it be able to suck human blood ......"

Cara nodded and sighed lightly.

"Indeed, at that time, the ancestor felt odd and did not immediately bury that woodcutter's corpse, but

continued to observe the sore, as a result, within two days, the woodcutter had almost become a

skeleton, but the sore was still alive, the ancestor also made the same guess as you, and even cut his

hand personally and dripped blood on that sore, and guess what?"

Faced with the old lady's question, Ruby, after a brief moment of contemplation, gave her reply.

"That sore should have opened its mouth and sucked the blood of the ancestor."

"That's right." Cara nodded.

"The sore was so strange and bizarre that the ancestors were suspicious and eventually dug up the

entire piece of skin, along with the sore, and sealed it up, bringing it back for study. This is how the

Henderson family first discovered the human-faced sore."

"Of course, there is no way to verify whether this passage is true or not, and it is ultimately just a

legend, but ....

.."

As the topic came to an end, the old lady's words turned to a slightly lower tone.

"However, the Henderson family has been studying that sore since then, and even refined a witchcraft,

namely the human face compulsion!"

Hearing that, Ruby already had a general idea in her heart.

It was supposed that the compulsion she discovered this time was related to the Henderson family!

As expected, soon after, Cara continued to speak.

"This witchcraft has always been secretly researched by the Henderson family, and although it was

recorded in books before, it was never heard of being passed down, and the Henderson family was

also extra careful, ordering the whole family not to tell others, and this human-faced compulsion is

passed on to men but not women."

"Then, Grandma, you are not proficient in this technique?"

"I am a woman, and the old ancestors had rules, so naturally they would not pass it on to me, but

although I am not proficient, I know a lot."

The old lady nodded, and then narrowed her eyes, cloudy yet shrewd.

"The Human face compulsion can’t be tolerable for ordinary people. This compulsion is extremely

poisonous, if it is planted on a human body, it will be parasitic in the human body, at first the human

body will not notice it, no pain, no itch, no different from normal people, but slowly it will create sores on

the skin, sometimes on the limbs, but mostly on the abdomen.

Once the sores have taken shape, they will begin to suck the blood out of the human being. Although

the person notices the sores on the skin, they cannot detect them and can only suffer day after day

until the sores have sucked most of the blood out of the human being, and the human being will then

fall into a false death, and if it is not treated in time, it will turn from a false death into a real death. After

that, the sore would suck all of the human blood and people will become a skeleton."

Just by listening to this, Ruby could imagine how horrible this compulsion was.

She frowned, "So the only way to save the person is to uproot this human-faced compulsion from the

person's body?"

"That's right, but because modern medical arts cannot trace the cause, it cannot be cured at the root,

moreover, to remove it from the body is not something that can be solved by modern medical arts."

This was a point that Ruby knew well.

She had saved several people this time, and it was with this in mind that she did not dare to delay and

follow the method of witchcraft to remove the compulsion.

Her eyes narrowed slightly and as she was just about to fall into contemplation, she heard Cara speak

again.

"Although this human face compulsion exists in the world, however I have never heard of anyone

actually being planted with this kind of compulsion. Although the Henderson family has passed it down

for generations, because this kind of compulsion is too insidious and poisonous, it is a harmful thing, so

they have only mastered its principles and have not really practiced it, so now that it has suddenly

appeared in the world, I am quite shocked."

"Then Grandma, do you have any clue about the person who planted the compulsion?"

Hearing that, Cara's face became increasingly sullen.

After a moment's interval, she said in a deep voice with an old voice, "I have a younger brother to

whom only the human-faced compulsion was passed on alone at the beginning."

Hearing that Grandma's mother actually had a younger brother, Ruby's eyes brightened.

"So, this compulsion ..

...."

"Well, it should be related to my brother's descendants, and that's the only possibility for now."

After coming out of her grandmother's room, Ruby stood in the corridor, her eyes slightly darkened as a

flash of thought passed through the bottom of her eyes.

Right now, this compulsion had appeared in a strange way, and the only clue was the lineage of

Grandma's brother.

No matter what the reason was, the person who used compulsion definitely did not have good

intentions.

It seemed like it was time to investigate her grandmother's family.

With this in mind, she dialed Dottie's number.

"Investigate the Henderson family in detail, no matter how far back you go, and make sure you get

everything as detailed as possible."

"Yes, understood." Dottie answered.

Delicately, just after she hung up the phone, Levi suddenly rushed out from Olivia's room, and as soon

as he saw her, he immediately pulled her towards the room.

"What's wrong?" Ruby frowned, a bad feeling rising in her heart.

Levi's face was gloomy, and his voice felt like it was squeezing out of his throat, terribly repressed.

"Something has happened to Olivia."

He said before the two of them stepped into Olivia's room.

The next second, Olivia's convulsing form fell into Ruby's eyes.

In that instant, a splash of blood stained her pupils, and Ruby was stunned for a rare moment as she

watched the dark red blood gushing out of Olivia's nose, her head going blank.

Luckily, it was only a short second before Ruby abruptly pulled out of the blankness and stepped

forward, pressing on Olivia's body which kept twitching.

"Quick, help me hold her down!" She spoke in a stern voice. lightnoveldaily.comExclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
