Chapter 484 (1/2)

Seeing Igor falling backwards and was held up by the butler, he couldn’t help but turn and looked at Vivian. “Why didn’t you say it earlier that you’ve left behind a mark? I’d not have taken the portrait out if I knew it earlier. Now I’ve to return it to him.”

“I just recalled it just now,” Vivian said. “And what are you doing with this painting? If you like, you can always look at the real one.”

Hao Ren looked at the portrait regrettably. “This painting looks very valuable, unfortunately it was spoilt by Lily.”

At this time, Igor had regained his consciousness. He looked at Hao Ren and the others, and then Vivian. “The witch?”

Vivian nodded and looked at Igor who seemed like passing out again, she quickly said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to punish you. Easy. Take a deep breath. Your ancestors were more calm than you are.”

Of course Vivian was lying, when the ancestors of Andrea family saw her, they keeled over immediately.

Igor grabbed the buttons of his coat with his hand tightly. His knuckles turned pale because he had used too much force. It seemed that he was doing this to confirm what he saw was real, and also to avoid blacking out again. He was trembling, his face disturbed. “Then the purpose of your coming today is…”

“To help you get rid of the evil spirit,” Vivian waved her hand. “In fact, I didn’t know you were the descendants of that boy I met.”

Igor was nervous. “Not because of our ancestors had violated the covenant…?”

Not waiting for Igor to finish, Vivian waved again and smiled almost as if crying. “Forget it. You guys have been misunderstanding the thing for three hundred years. For God’s sake, the thing wasn’t really like what you have been thinking. The curse of the evil spirit had nothing to do with your ancestors. I won’t bring down any punishment. In fact, I even feel I’ve wronged you guys….Okay, let’s leave this matter to another time. Now it’s important that the stone is still here, I hope you guys haven’t thrown it away lest I will really get mad at you.”

Igor hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Of course, of course… I mean, of course it’s not lost. It’s kept in a room on the highest floor of the castle. Let me take you there.”

Igor walked back towards the castle with the group. Hao Ren looked up at the 300-year-old ancient building before he entered into it. he saw On the castle’s gray-black exterior, he saw large swathes of ice and snow on the castle’s gray exterior were gradually breaking up and dissipating in the air like waking up from a nightmare. The entire castle looked sublime while covered in a layer of broken crystal. Under this wonderful but strange sight, the depressing vibe that enveloped the castle of Andrea gradually faded away. The vengeful spirit had left, and the strange magnetic field and space phenomena it produced had also retreated back underground. The sunlight that shone on the castle at a sloping angle had brought warmth and splendid feeling for the first time.

The servants in the castle had already learned the news of the defeat of the evil spirit. They came out of the room, still scared. But feeling the cold had receded, and the strange vibe that had been lingering in the castle was gone, these servants who had been serving the Andrea family for many years began to immerse in joy.

In the hallway of the castle, servants were walking around and sharing the news. A thin figure suddenly ran down the stairs and weaved past the crowd toward them. It was Anna. The poor girl had finally got rid of the nightmarish voice whispering in her head. She was exhilarated. When she saw Igor, she rushed to him. “Daddy, the voice! The voice! The voice is gone!”

“I know, I know,” Igor could not hold back his excitement too, but he still tried to keep his composure in front of Vivian. He placed his hands on Anna’s shoulders and said, “It’s over, honey. The evil spirit won’t come back again.”

Anna stared at Hao Ren and the others, wide-eyed. Her face was still pale. So she looked a bit scary to them. “You guys have really killed that evil spirit? But how could this be possible?”

When Hao Ren saw Anna, he could not help but think of the strange things she had mentioned—Tannagost, high-energy polymerised body, sublimation and stuff like that. He suddenly realised that the quaint knowledge in Anna’s head might be the key to uncovering the secrets of the vengedul spirit. “Anna, do you still remember the vengeful spirit… the things it told you? What’s Tannagost?”

When Anna heard the term, she could not help but shiver. But as the whisper in her mind had gone, she was not affected by the fear, and the quirky knowledge was just an incomprehensible piece of memory to her. “Probably… a little…”

Vivian looked at Anna and said, “Recall whatever you can. I hope you can tell us everything you know about the evil spirit. Of course it mustn’t be right now, you can go back, take a rest to regain your strengh.”
