Chapter 276: The Magic Spell
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The witchcraft of people in this tribe could only be performed on the living, so they went out to capture outsiders after inventing the witchcraft.
The main purpose of this talisman was to control the outsiders and keep them from struggling.
A talisman like this was very powerful to the imprisoned, but it wouldn’t harm anyone else.
Lauren closed the book.
Therefore, she could remove the red and white talisman. It was very powerful to Fiona, but it wouldn’t cause any harm to Lauren.
After getting the answer she wanted, Lauren finally got out of her library.
Then, she found that it was near dawn.
Lauren picked up her watch and saw it was already five o’clock in the morning. Unknowingly, she had been studying for the entire night.
Lauren looked at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror and pursed her lips.
She said to herself, “Oh no! I need to catch up on my sleep. Otherwise, I won’t look good anymore. I should hurry up and go to bed.”
Before going to bed, Lauren stuck a note on the door to tell Hublot not to wake her up for breakfast.
It was almost noon when Lauren woke up. However, she didn’t wake up naturally. Instead, she was woken up by the noises made by Bryce in the garden.
Lauren unwillingly turned over, got out of bed, and leaned against the window to see what was going on.
Under the bright sunshine, Bryce was wearing his headset and jumping around. He looked like he had gone crazy.
However, he had a good appearance. If one ignored his voice, this scene would be very beautiful.
It would be fine if Bryce was only listening to music, but he sang it out loud.
It just so happened that he was out of tune, so he sounded like he was reading a book.
“The sounds you make are really ugly!”
Lauren shouted, but Bryce didn’t hear it with headphones on.
Therefore, Lauren had no choice but to go downstairs to settle scores with Bryce.
After Lauren went downstairs, she found that she wasn’t the only one who was suffering from Bryce’s noises.
Hublot and the maids were all in the living room. They had no earplugs, so they rolled up paper napkins and inserted them into their ears.
They did nothing to stop Bryce.
Hublot doted on Bryce very much. The other servants dared not say anything, so they had no choice but to endure it.
Lauren, however, couldn’t put up with it anymore.
She didn’t sleep until five o’clock in the morning.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
Lauren tried to shout, but Bryce still couldn’t hear her.
Lauren thought of an idea.
She walked to a place where Bryce could see her, put on a frightened look, and pointed at his back.
As Lauren expected, Bryce immediately stopped what he was doing and took off his earpiece. The music in his earphones was so loud that Lauren could hear it even though she was still some distance away from him.
After Bryce took off his earpiece, the first thing he did wasn’t turn around. Instead, he ran behind Lauren and then looked at where he just stood.
“Huh? There’s nothing. What were you asking me to look at?” inquired Bryce.
He quickly caught Lauren’s gaze.
“You were trying to freak me out again, weren’t you?” demanded Bryce.
“I didn’t have a choice. What song are you listening to? I heard you mumbling when I was upstairs just now. It seems to have no melody.”
The music was still playing in Bryce’s earphones, but Lauren couldn’t hear it clearly due to the indistinct sounds.
Bryce pursed his lips and put his earphones in Lauren’s ears. There was background music, and someone was muttering something she couldn’t understand.
“What is this?” demanded Lauren.
She quickly took off the earphones.
“This is a magic spell,” replied Bryce.
“A magic spell? What are you listening to it for?” inquired Lauren.
Bryce shot a glance at Lauren and took his earphones back.
“It is to clear my mind. You’ve been making me feel uneasy lately. I need to listen to something to stay calm.”
Bryce crossed his arms in front of his chest as he spoke.
Lauren was speechless.
Just when she was about to turn around and leave, she recalled her research results last night.
“Oh! Yesterday, I’ve already found the relevant information about the talisman that trapped Fiona. We can get rid of it. It won’t do any harm to us,” said Lauren.
“I told you so. It’s just a talisman. What danger can it pose to us?” replied Bryce.
“I just want to be on the safe side. Stop chanting. I need to sleep!” said Lauren.
She walked in and asked Hublot to find her something to eat.
The breakfast was skipped, and it was past lunchtime. Therefore, Lauren simply picked at some food.
After that, Lauren went back to sleep.
