"Aren't you surprised that you didn't notice it right at the moment the seal was broken?" Osiris asked him.
High Priest Wei WenYing was nervous. His palms started to sweat. "Holy Priest, I was surprised. Last time, I noticed the seal was broken right after my father noticed. However, this time it's different. No one realized that the seal was broken before a young priest's scream. He didn't notice either but only got aware of the breakage after seeing it with his very own eyes."
Osiris calmly gazed at him. "If that's true, then you should know what's going on."
High Priest Wei WenYing's eyes widened. "Holy Priest, I thought about the reason but it's impossible. How can there be a traitor among us."
Osiris mixed lime juice in the tea. Afterward, he closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the ginger tea. "If the seal wasn't broken by the evil force as everyone thought, then it was broken by a priest. Isn't it the obvious answer?"
High Priest Wei WenYing protested, "But, Holy Priest, my people are all pure-hearted. There is no one who can betray us. If there were some devil worshipers, we would have known from the very beginning!"
Osiris sipped the tea and put down the empty cup. "Let's get real here. If the seal was broken by the evil spirit, we would have known even before anyone could scream. However, it didn't happen that way, did it? If the seal was broken by a human, only then there was a chance that the evil spirit was forcefully brought out."
"That…"
Osiris narrowed his eyes. "You said three priests were guarding the temple. One of them screamed and what about the other two?"
High Priest Wei WenYing answered, "They lost consciousness before it happened and they didn't know why. We came to the conclusion that since they were closer to the seal, they fainted because of the evil spirit's power. The other one was outside the temple, so he screamed and didn't faint."
"And, you believed in such an obvious lie…" Osiris rubbed his temples. 'One of those two was lying. The temple cannot have an evil presence. I have to find them as soon as possible.' He stood up and said, "Gather all the priests in front of the temple. Tell them they have to be purified. Also, I want to see the seal that was broken."
"It's inside the temple." High Priest Wei WenYing hurriedly stood up. He couldn't sit when Holy Priest was standing.
"All right. Go now. I want every single priest to be present in ten minutes." Osiris gracefully walked out of the guest room and went to the direction of the temple.
The priests were standing in guard bowed to him with respect. He gave them a slight nod in return. He climbed the stairs, walked inside and opened the door of the room that was at the center of the temple.
The room was circled with candles. In the center of the room, there was a black orb hanging in thin air without any support. Black smoke was moving around it. Four pillars and four seals were around the black orb and a holy rope was tied with the pillars connecting each other.
The four seals were hanging in the air as well. The seals were made by golden papers and pure blood of the members of the Gu Family.
When Osiris entered the room, he felt nostalgic. Many years ago, He and his fellow priests sealed the evil spirit in the black orb. They were successful, but three out of four priests died. Osiris was the only survivor. Since then, he guarded the black orb day and night ensuring the evil spirit didn't escape. However, one day four powerful members of The Mongoose came to fight him to snatch the evil spirit.
Osiris was just a priest. He could only fight evil spirits, not humans with supernatural powers. At that time, Juan, Pedro, Carlo and Liam came to help save him. After defeating the members of The Mongoose, Juan offered him to join them.
Realizing that they were on the good side, Osiris joined them without a second thought. If they didn't come to take him, he would be the high priest of the Gu Family by now.
Osiris made a round around the black orb, observing it intently. He could hear the voice coming from it.
"You won't stop talking no matter what happens, will you?" Osiris stood in front of it and frowned. He heard the foreign language carefully and tilted his head.
"What's this? You are calling for someone. I thought that you were a free devil who sold his soul to Satan. Don't tell me you have another master… So you have. I didn't imagine this. You are calling for your master. Who is it? Who is your master? Tell me. Tell me his name." Osiris asked the spirit.
Instead of an answer, he heard a deep chuckle coming from all over the room. The fires of the candles danced and suddenly were extinguished making the whole room pitch black.
Osiris wasn't afraid. A white light came out of his body and eliminated the room. The black orb turned into a bloody red orb.
Osiris narrowed his eyes. "You won't tell me. Fine then, I will find out on my own. But before that…" Osiris raised his right hand and pointed his palm at the black orb. The four seals glowed with golden light and a strong wind blew inside the room. It almost threw Osiris but he stood there firmly without moving an inch.
Two minutes later, the black smoke disappeared and the red orb became a simple black orb. The candles lit up on their own.
"That's what happens when you disobey me. Next time, be a little more obedient." Osiris yawned again. "I feel so tired now. I want to go to bed alrady." He stepped out of the room and calmly closed the door.
