Sacrifice

Inside the manor.

"You want to sacrifice me."

Caroline understood completely. "Luke has been sacrificed. The current Luke is Ben Daiwo, so he knows nothing about real estate law and needs to learn it from scratch. The paralyzed Ben is the real Luke, and he's only thinking about escaping, right?"

During the weeks she cared for him, the paralyzed Ben once crawled out of his room in an attempt to escape the manor, but was intercepted by the Fat Woman. It was from that moment that she began to suspect the Fat Woman and wanted to uncover the true secrets of the manor.

"You're very smart, you finally understand, but it's too late."

The Fat Woman said smugly, "Tell me! Where is Ben?"

When she was running away, Caroline didn't care about Ben and hid him.

Caroline's hair was being pulled by the Fat Woman when she suddenly saw the Red Brick Powder. She remembered the legend that lines drawn with Red Brick Powder could prevent evil spirits from entering. She had previously tested the Fat Woman with Red Brick Powder, and the Fat Woman dared not approach the room. So she pretended to give in and said, "He is in the back garden."

The Fat Woman loosened Caroline's hair and said to Luke, "Watch her. I'm going to find Ben. We can't let him escape."

"Good."

Luke agreed.

Wait until the Fat Woman leaves.

Caroline immediately took off running, because the Fat Woman and her companions had only tied her hands, not her feet.

After learning that the Fat Woman wanted to possess her body, she was not afraid that Luke would shoot.

So she ran into the room where she had once deliberately sprinkled Red Brick Powder.

Luke was indeed unable to enter.

She ran out the window, but was forced back in.

A parkour chase begins.

Driven away by the Fat Woman and Luke, Caroline escaped into her room, found extra Red Brick Powder, and sprinkled Red Brick Powder on the doorways of room after room.

These Red Brick Powder acted like solid protective lines, effectively keeping the Fat Woman and Luke out.

However, there were too many rooms, and Caroline didn't have time to sprinkle Red Brick Powder on all of them. In the end, she was chased up to the attic by the Fat Woman.

The attic was filled with lit candles, mirrors, and mysterious symbols; an evil ritual was in place.

Following the Protection Pattern she had obtained earlier, Caroline quickly used her blood to draw the Protection Pattern in the center of the candle, finally finishing the Protection Pattern before the leisurely, shouting Fat Woman arrived.

"You can't touch me anymore, you can't come near me, see? This is your Sanctuary Spell."

"Hehe, so you still don't understand."

The Fat Woman laughed, "Think carefully about where you got the Sanctuary Spell in your hand? That's right, I gave it to you on purpose. Those patterns were just to trap you in the ritual, not a Sanctuary Spell at all."

"Don't come any closer!"

Caroline held up the dagger in terror.

"Hehe."

The Fat Woman looked at her leisurely and chuckled, "Caroline, you are the one we chose. We have been waiting for you for a long time. From the moment you stepped into this manor, everything has been to make you believe, because only if you truly believe can this Sacrifice Ritual succeed."

She gives herself a perfect score of 100 for her acting skills, saying that she could easily win the Oscar for Oscar for Best Actress if she went to Hollywood.

Even though she looks like a major villain, who cares?

Justice lies in the hands of the victors.

If she succeeds, she will be the heroine of justice.

Caroline recalled that when she first arrived, the swaying rocking chair in the empty corridor was clearly where the Fat Woman had been waiting for her, and had gone in to prepare when she saw her car arrive.

The Fat Woman looked her over like she was an object, and was dissatisfied with her accent, clothing, and tattoos.

At the beginning of the conversation, the Fat Woman repeatedly mentioned that she did not understand the local customs, which aroused my curiosity about the so-called rules.

Then the Fat Woman began to tell her the story of the manor in a roundabout way, and told her not to wander around, but then gave her a master key and repeatedly instructed her to go and retrieve things alone.

She then deliberately let Caroline see her holding the so-called ' Sanctuary Spell ' to protect herself from ghosts.

The subsequent escape and chase were child's play, simply to drive her here, making her, in her desperation, completely believe in the theories of sacrifice and possession by ghosts, and complete the Sacrifice Ritual herself.

"I don't believe it!"

Caroline shouted.

"Heh, you believed it."

The Fat Woman said smugly, "When you inscribed the ' Sanctuary Spell ' with your own blood, no matter what you say, you believed it in your heart, so the ritual could already work."

Do you know how difficult it is to have this belief? As generations go by, people become less and less religious and simply unwilling to believe in the mysterious forces that originally existed.

This makes our survival increasingly difficult, and it's hard to succeed even with the best efforts.

The four caregivers in front were all Black Pearls. Although they didn't know the real secret, they were frightened away by the mysterious atmosphere and vague legends surrounding the place.

Only you, Caroline, so kind as to be like the Saintly Mother, are willing to stay for a patient like your father, to make up for the regret in your heart, right?

Yes, we know everything about you.

It is your lifelong regret that you were unable to take care of your deceased father.

No problem, we'll give you that chance. Although I don't really like the tattoo on your butt, Ben—oh no, I should call him Luke now—loves your body, so I can accept it.

"Give up resistance, accept reality, and complete the sacrifice. You'll have done Ben a huge favor, and we old folks will be incredibly grateful. Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Get out of here! I don't believe you!"

Caroline screamed again, but her body began to sway.

"You can feel it now, right? Don't worry, this is a specially made Sacrifice Potion."

The Fat Woman explained, "Ben has drunk it, you have drunk it, and I have drunk it. Only a young body can withstand the effects of this drug. After we switch bodies, you will be like Ben, paralyzed by a stroke and trapped in this old body. Even if the doctor comes, they won't be able to detect any problems."

Don't worry, I won't let you stay trapped inside forever. To thank you, I'll send you on your way.

With your youthful body, I have plenty of time to slowly choose my next one. When that time comes, I'll definitely find a black pearl; only a body like that will have more vitality.

As he spoke, he pointed a large mirror, about the height of a person, at Caroline.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I won't!"

Caroline screamed, her body swaying as if she had seen something terrifying, and cried out in horror, "God!"

"Unfortunately, you don't believe in God, so God can't protect you."

The Fat Woman sneered as she pushed the mirror towards Caroline: "Your body is mine now, hahaha!!!"

Luke walked over, stood in the doorway, and Jingjing watched this scene.
