Ruby nodded and said.
"The Henderson family didn't leave this place because they couldn't leave, and the compulsions had to be raised in a very confined environment. I think they probably carved out a dark room underground here, specifically for raising compulsions, and the compulsions couldn't be moved at will, especially the mother compulsions, so, all these years have passed, yet the Henderson family has always lived here."
When she finished, she looked towards Solomon and, not surprisingly, she saw his face darken.
In response, she curled her lips and said with a smile, "In fact, all this just now was just my speculation, there was nothing to base it on, but now looking at your expression, I know that I guessed right."
It was only then that Solomon reacted with hindsight that he had been set up and immediately slapped the table, "You... you actually dare to set me up!"
"What would I not dare to do?" Ruby laughed coldly, "Are you allowed to set up others, but not on others to set you up? The Henderson family has already fallen, you are not qualified to fight with me, the reason why I keep you alive is because of my grandmother. You can keep this place and spend your old age in peace, I won't come to trouble you, and you can't even think about setting me up. I want the mother compulsion today, as for I will return it to you, it depends on my mood."
With that, she gave a look to Levi, who understood and immediately called Chester in, asking him to lead a carpet search of the place and find the secret door to the dark room.
Chester moved quickly and it didn't take long to find it.
Levi had someone pressed against Solomon and led Ruby to go down to check.
After descending the steps, they had to pass through a dark corridor to enter the dark room, where not a single light was visible and a strange and unpleasant smell was spread all around.
Ruby covered her lips and lit a candle, which Chester immediately stepped forward to take, lighting all the candle holders hanging on the wall around her.
Soon the dark room was illuminated by candlelight.
Ruby looked around and found that there were many shelves with many boxes of various sizes and shapes on them.
As for the centre of the dark room, there was a large table with all sorts of jars piled on it, some of which were sealed and could be seen to contain various crawling parasites.
She looked around, her brow furrowed, and made her decision on the spot.
"It seems that this mother compulsion can no longer be returned to you, and all the things here need to be sent under strict supervision, lest you use these as demons to harm people again."
Solomon was pinned down and struggled, but to no avail, he could only grit his teeth and glare at Ruby: "This is all the legacy of the Henderson family, when did it become your turn to interfere?"
Ruby was unimpressed, "Now."
As she said that, she inclined her head to look at Levi, who immediately understood, and immediately ordered Chester to go on, "Deploy a group of men to collect all the things here and take them away."
Chester immediately nodded, "Yes."
"You--" Solomon was furious, "You are going too far!"
Ignoring him, Ruby stood by the shelf and examined it carefully, seeing no label, she turned her head and asked, "In here, which one is the mother compulsion?"
Solomon was so angry that his body trembled, and his voice was hoarse as he bellowed, "Why should I tell you? Dream on it! If you want to take away the mother compulsion of the Human Face Compulsion, it will be impossible in your next life!"
Ruby tugged the corners of her mouth, "I don't want to waste time, so I'm giving you the chance to say it yourself, if you don't, then you'll have to suffer."
