Chapter 523: Chapter 523 Faceless Warning
Leaving the room where Ava Zimrman was imprisoned, Victor Quintero suddenly spoke again,
“Don’t you plan to go see Azura Loomis? She’s in a pretty miserable state right now.”
Perhaps the vigilance against Ava Zimrman earlier was still hanging on, Chase Jennings almost instinctively refused without thinking,
“No!”
Victor Quintero glanced at him, then awkwardly said,
“I’m asking Scarlett Jenner.”
Chase Jennings: …
Scarlett knew he might want to discuss the issues arising from the forced interruption of the Face Changing Technique with her. Thinking that she hadn’t witnessed what happens to people whose faces are changed, she nodded and said,
“Then let’s go see her.”
Chase Jennings saw her answer so straightforwardly and felt he seed overly concerned, so he followed up,
“Then I’ll go with you to et her.”
It’s not that he harbored any thoughts towards Azura Loomis, he just purely wanted to see what she looked like now.
Scarlett couldn’t help but glance at Chase Jennings, ultimately resisting the urge to dismiss him.
Victor Quintero then led them to another room.
Different from Ava Zimrman’s room, the room Azura Loomis was in had a sealed glass window outside, through which the person’s appearance inside could be seen.
Upon seeing the situation inside the room with Azura Loomis, even Scarlett couldn’t help but stiffen.
Chase Jennings instinctively took a step back, pointing at the person inside, disbelief filling his voice,
“She… you say she’s Azura Loomis?”
Victor Quintero wasn’t surprised by Chase Jennings’ reaction, for now Azura Loomis indeed seed sowhat different from ordinary people.
“When we found her in Ava Zimrman’s apartnt, she was already like this.”
Just as Victor Quintero previously said, Azura Loomis now indeed appeared pitiful.
It was ntioned earlier that the Face Changing Technique primarily acts on the Soul Body; changes in the Soul Body also affect external appearance.
Therefore, from their angle, Azura Loomis, whose face was mostly taken away by Ava Zimrman, appeared faceless.
Aside from her nose and mouth, other parts of Azura Loomis’ face seed to be sared over by sothing, completely obscuring her original appearance from sight.
To say, it looked like an unford sculpture.
Azura Loomis, looking like this, would probably be called a monster by others.
No wonder even Chase Jennings had such a reaction seeing her now.
“Ava Zimrman’s Face Changing Technique is actually essentially complete. Although we interrupted it, Azura Loomis’ face couldn’t revert back, and the bureau is still researching possible recovery thods. We’ll also invite Mystical Sect seniors specializing in Dissolving Techniques later to assist in the research.”
The Security Bureau’s actions weren’t out of sympathy or anything.
Firstly, in the Face Changing Technique case, Azura Loomis was indeed the victim.
Secondly, there was academic research consideration.
Many Forbidden Techniques aren’t allowed to be inherited, not to ntion dissolving thods; sotis encountering them, one might not even recognize what kind of magic it is.
The Face Changing Technique belongs to the type of Forbidden Technique that is heard of but lacks recorded dissolving thods.
For people of the Mystical Sect, these Forbidden Techniques are rarely encountered in daily life, but when they are encountered, one can’t be ignorant.
In simple terms, Forbidden Techniques may not have to be used, but they can’t be misunderstood.
It’s like rare dical cases, encountering them, one certainly tries to find ways to overco them.
Victor Quintero added,
“I know you have deep research in Talismanic Magic, would you like to follow along then? The dissolving techniques so Mystical Sect families possess differ from what teachers teach at the Taoism Academy.”
Victor Quintero proposed this entirely out of respect for Scarlett, thinking she would be willing to learn more.
Unexpectedly, Scarlett refused without even thinking.
“Although I like researching Talismanic Magic, my identity isn’t suitable to participate in this matter.”
Ultimately, Scarlett didn’t want to participate.
Azura Loomis caused so much trouble for the Jennings Family back then; it was enough Scarlett didn’t secretly cause additional punishnt for her, let alone help her recover?
Even for the sake of Mystical Sect inheritance, it’s not possible.
Let’s not talk about bearing universal love.
She harbors no universal love in her heart, only an eye for an eye, karma unyielding.
Victor Quintero showed a hint of regret upon seeing her refusal but didn’t press the matter.
Perhaps hearing the commotion at the door, Azura Loomis, who was previously sitting quietly in the room, moved slightly.
Suddenly, she tried to grope towards the direction of the window, opened her mouth, silently calling out a couple of tis.
It was visible she attempted to shout sothing, but her throat was completely dark, unable to make a sound, not even the common mute’s ah-ah sound.
Let alone shouting, now she probably can’t even shed tears to cry.
Chase Jennings ultimately couldn’t bear it, turned his head away, and stopped looking at her.
Seeing Azura Loomis fall to such an end, his initial resentnts dissipated quite a bit, replaced by sighs and sympathy.
He looked at Scarlett beside him, hesitated for a long ti, intending to speak but stopped,
“Scarlett, why don’t you…”
Before he could finish saying ‘help her’, Scarlett coldly glanced at him with almond eyes, and suddenly said,
“If your Life Transfer Technique succeeds, later you might end up like her.”
Given the successful life transfer, it’s likely the other party still wants his face, solidifying his status as a young master of the Jennings Family.
Tsk, she should include this part in Chase Jennings’ dreams.
Experiencing it once should be felt to the extre.
Hmm, pity.
Chase Jennings: …
Seeing Scarlett’s regretful expression at him, Chase Jennings only felt chills down his spine, and once he understood her words, he was instantly awake.
Indeed, with Ava Zimrman’s ruthless ans, if it wasn’t for Scarlett, his post-transfer fate might truly be like that in the dream.
Even if he didn’t end up trapped in a robot vacuum, he might end up like Azura Loomis, faceless, treated as a monster…
Being able to stand here well now was all thanks to Scarlett…
Thinking about it, Chase Jennings crushed the slight thought of pleading for Azura Loomis on his behalf.
Almost made the mistake again.
Even he depended on Scarlett, he had no right to be generous on soone else’s behalf here.
Online they say, sympathizing with n leads to misfortune for a lifeti.
Chase Jennings feels the sa applies to him.
Sympathizing with won leads to misfortune for a lifeti.
Robot vacuum warning, faceless warning.
…
Because he repeatedly reminded himself of this warning, Chase Jennings didn’t look down while descending the stairs and missed a step, unable to control himself, tumbling downwards.
“Ah!”
Chase Jennings exclaid softly, just when he thought he was about to fall down the stairs, a passing Security Bureau employee promptly grabbed him.
Chase Jennings instantly relaxed, turned around, just about to thank her when he saw the one who grabbed him was a sowhat young female employee,
At this mont, she looked at him, smiled slightly,
“Are you alright?”
Chase Jennings felt a sudden lurch in his heart.
The next mont,
He abruptly shook off the female employee’s grip on him, letting himself fall back to the ground.
When the pain coursed through him, Chase Jennings smiled with great relief.
Similar traps won’t let others touch him again.
Won, whether beautiful or not, are poisonous.
