But the truth was, there hadn’t been anything unusual.

She hadn’t noticed a thing.

Cody said, “Kimberly, we need to ask you again. In the elevator footage from last night, we saw you leaving with a man. He was carrying a suitcase. Who is he? Do you know him?”

Kimberly Lynch answered instinctively, “That’s my cousin. He came to visit me and stayed here. for a few days. He left last night.”

She sounded certain and didn’t feel anything strange about her answer.

In her memory, that man really was her cousin who had come to visit for a few days before leaving the previous night.

Cody glanced at Scarlett.

Scarlett didn’t speak. She murmured a short incantation, formed a hand seal, and tapped Kimberly lightly on the forehead.

The sigil energy affecting her immediately dissipated.

Kimberly froze for a moment, staring blankly at the people in front of her.

What have I just said?

A few days ago, someone had suddenly knocked on her door. When she opened it, a man stood there holding a suitcase.

She had been about to ask whom he was looking for, but the man smiled and patted her lightly on the shoulder. Then he said, “Don’t you recognize me? I’m your cousin.”

And then what happened?

After that, it felt like someone had tampered with her memories.

She truly believed the man was her cousin.

She invited him inside and even chatted with him for quite a while.

The man stayed at her place for several days. He had a good personality and even cooked

sometimes.

Then yesterday afternoon, she left for work. When she came home that evening, the man told

her he’d been bothering her long enough, and it was time for him to leave.

So she walked him downstairs.

How could I possibly have believed he was my cousin?

What exactly happened?

Cold sweat broke out across Kimberly’s body as she looked up at Cody.

She stammered, “M–Mr. Grant, I… I don’t know what happened. That man isn’t my cousin. My memories… they feel scrambled somehow.”

Cody glanced at Scarlett again.

He hadn’t expected that after the sigil’s influence was removed, Kimberly would still remember what had happened earlier.

Scarlett gave Cody a slight nod.

Her meaning was clear.

If the sigil energy hadn’t been removed–or if it hadn’t faded naturally over time–that belief would’ve stayed in Kimberly’s mind forever.

il the day she died, she would’ve believed that man was her cousin.

Sut once the sigil energy was broken, her mind returned to normal.

She could still remember everything that had happened.

Only now she understood that those memories had been manipulated.

berly covered her mouth, on the verge of tears.

ant, that man is definitely suspicious. I think Ivy’s disappearance must have something to do with him.

“He showed up at my door a few days ago and said he was my cousin. I really believed him. I’m not confused, and I haven’t taken any kind of hallucinogenic drugs.”

She didn’t even know how to explain what had happened to the people in front of her.

Cody immediately said, “It’s all right, Kimberly. We believe you. Just tell us exactly when this man first appeared and everything that happened afterward.”

aring that, Kimberly finally relaxed a little.

She had been terrified the police might think she was involved with the man.

After all, what she was about to describe sounded completely ridiculous.

If she hadn’t experienced it herself, she probably wouldn’t have believed it either.

Kimberly invited the three of them into the living room before explaining the bizarre events.

“About four days ago, around 8 p.m., I heard someone knocking on my door…”

She carefully recounted everything that had happened that night.

She spoke slowly, trying to recall every detail.

“I don’t know why he… Oh, right, before he spoke, he patted my shoulder. I actually felt a little uncomfortable about it. But the moment he touched me and said he was my cousin, something just exploded in my mind. Suddenly I was convinced he was my cousin, and nothing about it felt strange at all.”

Just one touch and the sigil was placed?

Scarlett frowned slightly.

situation was very similar to when Leona had touched Zayden and planted the transfer on him.

The method was exactly the same.

It wasn’t simply using a sigil.

sigil’s mark was placed in the hand and transferred through physical contact.

Could this incident also be connected to the mysterious group behind Leona?

Scarlett stayed silent and continued listening to Kimberly recount the events.

Finally, Kimberly said, “Then just now you came and asked me about it again. I still believed that man was my cousin, until…”

At that point, she looked at Scarlett and finally recognized her.

Even though Scarlett hadn’t appeared publicly much over the past two months, her popularity

hadn’t faded at all.
