"Say it, what problems his descendants have encountered, say it upfront, I don't necessarily have a solution." Ruby pursed her lips in silence for a moment, she really couldn't figure out what the other party's descendant had encountered, so she had to ask.
Seeing that, Reggie felt relaxed and told her the story, “I don’t know much about it, but three years ago, the Marsh family members all have weird disease that can’t be cured. The doctor didn't know what the problem was, that is, a human face was growing out of their bodies. They said they would hear people laughing at night. It's very weird."
Reggie had only seen the Marsh family's eldest young master, Matteo Marsh, and as for the others, he really hadn't come into contact with them.
As for the human face on Matteo's body, he had also seen it before, it kind of looked like a child's face, palm-sized, growing right where the abdomen was, and it looked creepy. He didn't know if it was an illusion or not, he even felt the human face smiling at him at the time, and he went home afterwards and had nightmares for days.
This time it was also because Ruby had come to his rescue, and he thought that Ruby might be helpful to the Marsh family, so he had found Ruby to seek help.
"Human face?" Ruby thought for a moment, "Bring him here, I'll take a look first."
She really couldn't tell for a moment what this was about, and at this point she had developed some interest before she spoke.
Reggie nodded, excited in his heart.
The matter was already done, so he didn't continue to stay at Ruby's house, and hurriedly left to arrange for Matteo to meet with Ruby.
Three days later, Ruby saw the man Reggie had mentioned.
Matteo was in his early forties, for he was a high level, so he looked agrrogant. He seemed to be very disdainful of Ruby and thought she was a fraud, so he was a bit reluctant when he arrived.
If it weren't for the fact that the Marsh family was now one and all like him with this disease, and several people had already died in the last two years, he wouldn't have appeared here.
"Miss Harold, right? You should know about my situation, do you really have a solution?" Matteo looked at Ruby and spoke straightforwardly.
"Take off your clothes, I'll take a look first." Ruby glanced at him indifferently, not minding his attitude, and just opened her mouth to order.
Matteo looked stiff and was silent for a while before lifting his clothes up, revealing his belly.
Because of years of exercise, Matteo's body was quite fit, and at this moment, on his well-muscled belly, a human face looked extra creepy with its mouth wide open, revealing rows of sharp teeth, as if it would bite you at any moment.
Ruby stared at it for a while before walking over and reaching out to touch it.
When her finger landed on those teeth, Ruby felt a subtle stinging pain, she raised her eyebrows in some surprise, withdrew her hand and glanced at her fingertip, which had a small, imperceptible, pinhole-sized hole on it, not even blood was visible.
She was silent for a moment before she turned to Matteo and said, "You stay here. Kevin, give your room to Levi for two days."
Kevin obediently went to pack his things, Levi gave him the key to his house, and Kevin moved in with some clothes.
Matteo looked at Ruby and was silent for a long time before he spoke and asked, "Do you know what kind of illness I have?"
"It's not a disease." Ruby replied indifferently and ignored him, just went back to her room and searched for long time before finding a bottle of medicine, the black porcelain bottle was very delicate, with intricate patterns carved on it and a talisman attached to the mouth of the bottle, it looked as if it contained something.
