Noticing that Madan had awok, he slowly turned his head. His eyes were bloodshot and had narrowed significantly

Madison leaped mot of bed and over to him she touched his head with two fingers, and with her other hand, pressed a talisman against his brow.

in that instant, the black ghostly energy surmmending Sebastion was drawn into the talisman. The talaman fell away from his forehead and crumbled to dust.

“Sebastian’s eyes had returned to normal, though his expression remumed grave, “The one responsible for this is already dead.”

Madison didn’t know what to say.

Sebastian tumed to look outside the window.

The vast expanse of the Hall residence was engulfed in profound darkness under the night sky, as if an unseen force had swallowed all the light.

With the matter settled, Madison asked him what he had found

Sebastian shook his head. “I followed the familiar presence but didn’t replace anything instead, I ended up being contaminated by ghostly mergy”

He had sensed and traced the familiar presence back to the Hall residence, where he discovered the strong negative mingy. That was why he came to Madison for help.

He drought Madison might refuse, but to his surprise, she had agreed without hesitation after listening to him.

As be watched Madison deep in thought, his eyes revealed a tenderness he wasn’t fully aware

Madison tapped the blanket with her fingers before speaking The Lepet must be you.”

Sebastian confirmed, “Tes. The negative energy convergence matrix in the small villa was set up for ine!
