1315 Summary Repor (1/2)

Jasmine felt that she should have been afraid, but she found it difficult to have much strong emotions facing the female police officer in front of her. She felt like her body and mind had unknowingly settled down after crying for a long time.

She looked at her parents who had a complicated expression and asked hesitantly, ”Okay, what questions do you have?”

The female policeman with the rank of superintendent pointed at the door and said, ”Let's talk inside.”

She didn't get Jasmine's parents to leave. She only ordered the two police officers with her to guard by the door.

After closing the door, she pulled a crude round stool over and sat down without standing on ceremony, looking very relaxed.

This immediately made Jasmine and her parents less tense.

”You may call me Ma'am Grey.” The officer introduced herself and pointed at another chair and the bed. ”Have a seat.”

When everyone in the room found their seats, she smiled at Jasmine and said, ”I received a report saying that there were some incomprehensible things happening around you. For example, a male's desire for committing sexual assault had far exceeded normal standards. This doesn't mean that there are no bad people or criminals among them, but the ratio is too high, so high that it's strange.”

At this point, she swept her gaze across Jasmine's face.

”From what I know, you were seriously injured during the fire and was permanently disfigured. But now, I can't tell any of that. What do you have to say about this?”

Jasmine's heart tensed up again. She didn't dare hide anything and said in a panic, ”I went out tonight to the municipal square to attend the carnival. While I was passing by a particular street, I encountered a wandering magician who called himself Merlin Hermes. He said that he had invented a machine called 'the Fully Automatic Wishing Machine.' All I had to do was insert a penny, softly state my wish, and turn the wrench, then my wish would be granted.

”He said that I was the first user, so I could experience it for free once. Th-then, I was restored to my original state, having all my injuries healed.

”Officer, that's what happened. You must believe me.”

With that, she glanced at Mrs. Grey and her assistant before looking at her parents, trying to get their approval.

However, her parents clearly said:

”How is this possible?

”How can there be a machine that can automatically grant the wishes of others?

”How can there be something as good as granting a wish cost only a penny?

”Besides, the first user experienced it for free!”

Grey and her assistant didn't show any obvious expressions, making Jasmine unsure if they believed her or not.

”Continue.” Seeing her pause, Grey nodded encouragingly.

Jasmine hurriedly mentioned how she returned home to get some coins before recounting in full how she wished for her parents to regain their health and how she wanted to become beautiful. Finally, she said, ”I was indeed very beautiful. Even I couldn't move my eyes away. This made me experience a lot of kindness, but later on, the surrounding men started to frighten me…

”In addition, Daddy and Mommy didn't recognize me and chased me out of the house. I was scared, very scared. I returned to the machine and made a third wish. Yes, that Mr. Merlin Hermes said that the first wish was free, and wasn't part of the three wishes. In short, I returned to my original appearance and met you.”

Upon hearing these words, Jasmine's parents instantly thought of the beautiful ”burglar” from before.

Then, they realized that their bodies were indeed much healthier than before. Their vision had recovered and their arms had sufficient strength. Everything seemed different.

They began to believe Jasmine's description, but they felt even more terrified. It was as if they had encountered a demon, exactly the same as those stories in folklore.

Grey nodded gently.

”I've seen many matters that are beyond your imagination, but this is the first time I've heard of something like a Fully Automatic Wishing Machine.

”Compared to a wishing lamp or wishing pool in folklore, this is too modern.”

After a pause, her expression turned serious.

”As an experienced law enforcer, I'll give you three suggestions.

”First, don't believe in such things again from now on. Under most circumstances, the easy granting of wishes brings about a huge disaster. There's nothing wrong with describing it as the temptation of demons.”

Jasmine nodded heavily, indicating that she wouldn't dare to do it again—that final experience still left her feeling afraid.

”Secondly, go to the cathedral as soon as possible and repent to the bishop. Get him to purify you.” Grey looked around and said, ”Your entire family must go.”

Seeing that Jasmine and her parents were about to say that they already had this in mind, Grey turned to Jasmine.
