Chapter 187 The Consequences

作者: Night Eleven
Lucas reacted differently. He'd served in the army before. With his relatively young age—just in his late 30s—he had come to Southbury to gain more experience.

He didn't expect to encounter such a situation in this modest alley, but he wasn't panicking. He even saw this as an opportunity to learn about the internal workings of Southbury, so he kept silent throughout.

He could only be so calm because of his position in the city hall, which gave him some confidence. What surprised him was the disregard exhibited by Aria; it was as if nothing could affect her.

"I can come with you, sure." Aria was still smiling, almost evilly. "But take her with you too."

She tilted her chin up somewhat, and her gaze fell on Carol, who was trying to sneak away.

The police officers looked at each other in confusion. The officer who'd called for reinforcements hadn't mentioned Carol at all.

Aria bit on her candy. "What? Do you do things differently based on who you're dealing with? There are 100,00

    Landon ordered, "Go wait by the door. Don't let anyone come inside."Talon wanted to protest, but Landon's sharp gaze forced the words back down his throat. He could only retreat to the doorway, worry etched across his face.The sun blazed overhead the bustling city. No one knew Landon was enduring a karmic backlash strong enough to kill any mortal—all for the woman he loved.After Talon went outside, Landon slowly closed his eyes. He began drawing on his heavenly energy to suppress the raging bad karma in his body. He knew this was only the beginning. Greater dangers lay ahead, but he would remain by her side regardless.His fate had long been entwined with Aria's. She was his obsession, and he would search for her in every lifetime. No matter how many obstacles stood in their way, he would remain with her.His left hand hung loosely at his side, the warmth of blood still lingering on his lips. The bad karma in his body grew like feral thorns. The backlash was unlike anything b

    Homer's breathing gradually steadied. He could feel his meridians opening and a weak, warm current flowing through his body. "It's time." Aria narrowed her eyes. She picked up the final golden needle and inserted it into Homer's lower abdomen without hesitation. Homer couldn't help but cry out. A sharp pain burst from his core as if a blade were slicing through him. He trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to escape, but Aria pressed a firm hand on his shoulder."Hold still. I'm reopening your energy well. It'll hurt, but your energy will return if you can endure it," Aria instructed.The warm current circled and gathered at Homer's core. Bit by bit, it repaired the shattered energy well like rain falling onto parched earth.Homer clenched his lips so tightly they began to bleed. The stabbing sensation grew stronger, accompanied by an unfamiliar warmth rising from deep within him. The warmth gathered into a small vortex that slowly began to spin."Guide the vortex. Let it move thr

    Aria looked up at Landon in a confused yet contemplative manner. "I heard an old, weak voice. It called me its owner and begged for help."Landon frowned. "Begged for help? But there's no one around us. If someone were nearby, Sam would've detected it first. Judging by your expression, it doesn't seem like a hallucination."Aria shook her head firmly. "It's not a hallucination. The voice really sounded in my mind. And…"She paused to reorganize her thoughts. "The voice felt familiar, like someone I once knew."Landon's eyes darkened as though a realization struck him. "Maybe it's something you lost—something important. It might have gained a spirit and consciousness, forming a bond with you."Something important? Aria closed her eyes and searched her memories again, but nothing seemed connected to that voice. Too many parts of her past were still missing.A surge of questions crowded her mind, worsening her headache. She tried to trace the origin of the voice again, but only a

    Aria lifted a brow, about to speak, when a sharp, tearing pain exploded in her mind. It struck without warning, like hundreds of silver needles piercing straight through her nerves. Her face drained of color, and her knees nearly buckled under her. "What's wrong? Tell me where it hurts." Landon immediately steadied her, worry etched into every line of his face.Aria pressed a hand to her temple and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to force the agony away.Then, an old and feeble voice echoed through her mind—one that sounded as though it had been struggling for ages just to reach her."Save me, Boss!"The voice was hoarse, like an ancient bell buried beneath centuries of dust. Every word carried a desperate plea that sliced straight into her consciousness.Aria froze. Her eyes flew open in shock. She scanned her surroundings, but the world around her hadn't changed—the cool night breeze, the rustling pines, the bright moon… Landon and Sam watching her anxiously. Nothing was out of

    Landon walked over to Aria. "He crawled into the treehole after I teased him a little. There was a scent he liked inside, likely the lingering trace of whatever had been there before."Aria's gaze sharpened. "A lingering trace? That means the scent was placed there on purpose. Otherwise, why hide it inside a treehole?"She then turned to her subordinates. "Everyone will need to push a little harder these next few days. We must locate the Krowonian doll as soon as possible."Based on what we know, it prefers shadier environments. Focus your search on similar areas. Also remember that despite its doll appearance, it can possess a human host. Stay alert.""Yes, Ms. Carver!"…Meanwhile, the stench of rust mixed with a sinister chill inside an abandoned factory in the old district.Moonlight streamed through broken windowpanes, casting jagged patterns across the floor. Rusted machinery filled the corners, their silhouettes resembling twisted monsters.A small figure materialized so

    Aria nodded lightly. "I'll keep that in mind, Grandpa Titus."With a deep sigh, Titus recalled, "Mr. Bond said Landon is exceptionally hard-fated, destined for a life of relentless struggle. His sheer unbending will attracts terrible, unrelenting misfortune. He needs someone who can help him, or he won't live past…"He paused briefly, then continued, "That was until you showed up and saved him. I believe you're the person Landon has been waiting for."Naturally, it's up to you two when you want to get married. Just let me know once you're ready. I've already made the necessary preparations. Everything you need will be arranged, and all the ceremonies will be held."Back then, we followed all kinds of formal procedures and rituals. I promise the entire Janovin will witness your happiness on your big day."Aria looked up at him. "Thank you, Grandpa Titus."She had barely finished speaking when her phone buzzed in her pocket. The waitress was approaching with dessert as well.Aria
