“It looks like… They have always been the same. Anyway, they just treated me unusually badly,” Xyla Quest said.
“I think it’s unlikely that the person controlled them at an early stage… Perhaps, some time down the road, they fell under this person’s control. Otherwise, Xyla wouldn’t have been able to stay alive until now.
“But I still don’t get it. This person feels to me like a very powerful person. It should be very easy for him to take your life. Why did he go around in circles like this? Wouldn’t it be easier if he simply hypnotized you and made you commit suicide?” Ron Batton began to voice his concerns.
The things Stanley Batton and Ron said were also what Xyla wanted to say.
Endless question marks circled the three of their heads. All three of them felt very confused.
There were many issues from a logical standpoint.
“I’m afraid we’ll only be able to understand what exactly is going on after we find that person. The problem is that he is in the dark while we are in the light. It might not be quite as easy to find him…” Ron continued speaking solemnly.
Xyla and Stanley nodded at the same time to show that they agreed.
The things they spoke of were merely their hypotheses. In the end, they still wouldn’t be able to find an answer.
The only way they could find the comprehensive answer was to locate that person.
“Oh, right. There’s one other thing I can’t seem to understand. Why would that person give May and Emily so much Soul Devouring Potion? Could they have been planning to harm others with it but didn’t manage to do so yet?” Xyla asked another question.
“You don’t know this, but people who are hypnotized using the Soul Devouring Potion need to consume it once a week to remain under the hypnotized state. That’s the only way the hypnosis will work effectively… Hence, they have this with them so that they could drink it.
“Moreover, the Soul Devouring Potion is addicting. After drinking it once, one would never be able to stay away… That’s why they need to consume it every week.
“Whenever they don’t consume it on time, their bone marrow and all the organs in their body would start to hurt. This thing is even scarier than drugs,” Ron explained earnestly.
