294 Bewitching the Heart and the Soul, Part II (2/2)

The atmosphere in the church was abnormal throughout the night.

As Mo Fan was about to hide his ambitious plan deep inside his heart, a soft ripple appeared from the pendant on his neck.

The soft ripple slowly traveled into Mo Fan's mind.

The ripple contained a magical mental force, which suddenly calmed Mo Fan's thoughts, as if he had been placed inside a tub of cold water. It felt like he had just woken up from a strange status.

His gaze became clear as he woke up..

He looked at Mu Ningxue's departing figure. It turned out that his stubbornness had prevented the conversation from going on.

”Ningxue, wait,” Mo Fan called out.

Mu Ningxue turned around and glanced at him. She realized that Mo Fan was extremely different from his previous impudent behavior. It felt like he had just woken up from a nightmare.

”What else are you trying to say?” Mu Ningxue probed, as she was uncertain too.

”Something is strange.” Mo Fan said sternly in a deep voice.

Mu Ningxue nodded as she realized that Mo Fan had become rational, ”Looks like you were the same as them.”

”We'll talk about that later. It feels like some kind of bewitching spell. I'm wearing something called a Focus Magic Tool on my neck, which is able to keep myself focused. It managed to protect my mind with its power, which helped me to wake up from its effect,” Mo Fan said grimly.

Mu Ningxue's expression turned serious too. She was having similar speculations. Since Mo Fan's Focus Magic Tool had shown a reaction, it had proved that the group was under some bewitching effect.

”Ming Cong has forced himself upon Bai Tingting because he was fond of her at the start. It provoked him to put his lewd thoughts into action. Liao Mingxuan is jealous of you, and is not satisfied with Lu Zhenghe, so he lost control and scolded him too. Bai Tingting has a good impression of you. After experiencing a great fear, she subconsciously feels like you're the only one she can rely on.

”And you… Well, you know it yourself.” Mu Ningxue said.

Mo Fan felt extremely awkward. The secret that he had hidden in his heart was just exposed like that, even though he had pretended as if it no longer bothered him.

He sighed and forgot it for now. He should focus on resolving the difficult situation the group was in now.

”Ming Cong was the first person to act strangely. I'll ask Bai Tingting where he went before it all happened,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan walked toward Bai Tingting. The latter seemed to be staring at Mu Ningxue with a hint of hostility. For some reason, Bai Tingting was still hostile to Mu Ningxue in her heart.

Mo Fan walked up to Bai Tingting and placed the Focus Magic Tool in her hand.

The same ripple was emitted, and Bai Tingting shuddered. As her pupils regained focus, her eyes had a much clearer look.

Bai Tingting blushed when she recalled what she had done. She did not even dare to look Mo Fan in the eyes.

”It's alright. Don't worry. I kind of know what's happening. I just want to ask you, do you know where Ming Cong went to before? The church should be tightly sealed, and I don't see any signs of demon beasts nearby...” Mo Fan asked her.
