Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Unusual Events Must Have a Demon
Scarlett Jennings was montarily unsure whether to continue the conversation after being interrupted.
Especially when eting Samuel Chalrs’ deep gaze, her mind inexplicably felt a bit chaotic.
She felt a subtle emotion in her heart, yet dared not explore it deeply.
After a while, she rely muttered,
“Oh.”
After saying this, it seed too simplistic a response. Scarlett Jennings’ thoughts wandered, as if she had suddenly realized sothing,
“But how do you have an apartnt upstairs?”
Scarlett wasn’t curious about how Samuel had another property.
After all, with his wealth, he could own an apartnt in every city nationwide if he wanted to.
What Scarlett was curious about was, how did he have a place that happened to be right above hers?
Even if he decided to stay temporarily, he couldn’t possibly have found and bought a suitable place overnight.
The apartnt upstairs must be his own.
Samuel Chalrs didn’t seem surprised by her question; he simply said,
“This complex was developed by the Chalrs Group.”
The fact was, Lucas Jennings initially reached out to Samuel to inquire about properties in this complex.
Knowing he planned to co-invest with his brother for a property as a birthday gift for Scarlett Jennings, Samuel had two units reserved directly.
One for Lucas Jennings.
One he kept for himself.
He hadn’t intended to do much with it originally.
But looking back now, keeping it was the right choice.
Knowing that Scarlett dislikes being “protected” at all tis, and she doesn’t need such “protection”.
Samuel Chalrs just said,
“You ntioned before that you wanted to accumulate rit with . Does that still hold?”
Hearing him suddenly bring this up, Scarlett naturally nodded,
“Of course, it counts.”
Although she wanted to uncover the secret of his golden light, it didn’t prevent her from wanting to help him regain it.
Upon learning Samuel moved in proactively to accumulate rit, Scarlett no longer felt conflicted.
“Just so happens I accepted a task yesterday. If you have ti, you can join .”
She had co across this task while tidying up the room earlier today.
Coincidentally, this task was also about demons.
The tasks posted on the Spiritual Affairs APP are varied and odd, but those involving demons are rare.
Because there’s an unwritten rule within the Mystical Sect and even the Security Bureau.
Any affair concerning demons should be handled by the Mystic Regulation Office itself.
Unless stumbled upon by chance, even if the Security Bureau intervenes, the final handling is passed to the Mystic Regulation Office.
Just like that rat demon from last ti.
Since entering the Mystical Sect, Scarlett Jennings rarely encountered mystical creatures, much less demon beasts like she did today.
This is also why she wanted to stay and investigate further.
She had plenty of talismans for dealing with Underworld Specters, but not many specifically for demons. Just as well to use the opportunity to test which talismans were more effective.
After talking with Samuel Chalrs, the two of them directly sought out the individuals related to this task’s objective the following day.
This task was posted by the Mystic Regulation Office in the Capital tropolitan.
The incident initially occurred in the Capital tropolitan, starting when a hospital simultaneously had three won pregnant with multiples exposed online.
Being pregnant with multiples itself is not unusual, but such cases appearing densely in the sa hospital is.
Moreover, all three won beca pregnant around the sa ti, piquing the curiosity of so.
Many were unaware that multiples can be created artificially.
Artificially, as in test-tube babies.
So couples, due to unique circumstances, can’t conceive naturally, leading to the developnt of artificial external fertilization thods.
To ensure successful conception, multiple embryos are usually nurtured for intrauterine transfer, fearing a single embryo’s insufficient viability might result in failure post-transfer.
Transferring multiple embryos ensures at least one will survive.
But often, not just one embryo survives.
Sotis two or three, even four or five embryos, make it.
After the Capital tropolitan’s three won’s cases were exposed, the internet imdiately speculated this was the result of test-tube thods, so even seeing the hospital as leading other hospitals in test-tube technology.
However, journalists visiting later discovered this wasn’t the case.
The three won hadn’t undergone test-tube procedures but conceived naturally.
One of these won showed no joy at having several children. Rather, she was distressed.
Because her family already had two children, this pregnancy was to support the national three-child policy, thinking they could manage three children with so struggle.
Instead, she was suddenly found carrying triplets.
In a regular working-class family, how could they afford the expenses of raising five children?
After all, it’s not just about giving birth.
After birth, they need to be raised.
And raised ticulously.
It’s not like the past when people casually had kids and raised them. Especially in big cities, kids had to keep up with their peers from birth.
From sustenance to education, artistic training—each requires money.
Sotis it’s not about not wanting children, but being unable to afford them after having them.
The woman interviewed couldn’t hold back her tears while talking about this.
“He said it would be just one, but three ca at once. How can we afford to raise them?”
Initially, people thought “he” was her husband.
But further investigation revealed that he wasn’t her husband but a young doctor.
And the other two won reportedly also conceived after taking a “secret dicine” from a young doctor.
After this revelation, more cases of successful pregnancies following the “secret dicine” appeared across the Capital tropolitan.
When a coincidence repeats too frequently, it becos abnormal.
As the saying goes, where there’s strangeness, there’s bound to be a demon.
Once this incident blew up online, it caught the Mystic Regulation Office’s attention.
There’s no secret dicine casually causing pregnancies in this world.
Only demonic ans could achieve such frequent success.
Yet those won carried no trace of sinister energy or ghostly presence, ruling out ghosts or specters. What remained could only be a demon.
Perhaps sensing the Mystic Regulation Office’s movent, the suspect quickly fled.
The Mystic Regulation Office perhaps reluctant to chase a minor demon long-distance, directly posted the task on Spiritual Affairs.
Using the clues provided by the task issuer.
The demon fled to Sea City because it had another client there.
According to the pregnant won’s accounts, the doctor would personally check on their pregnancies after selling them the dicine to ensure success.
If the pregnancy didn’t occur, he would provide an extra pill.
He called it after-sales service.
As for Sea City, it hadn’t been confird yet.
Indeed, this is a very diligent demon.
…
“Are we going to et this client?”
On the way, Samuel casually asked, and Scarlett nodded,
“Although finding her doesn’t guarantee finding the demon, it’s the only lead.”
After a pause, she added to Samuel,
“It might take a fair amount of ti.”
Samuel looked at her upon hearing this, grunted, “I have ti.”
Once they got out of the car, they followed the address and finally t the “client.”
What Scarlett hadn’t expected was that while she didn’t know the client, she did know the client’s other half—
That is, the child’s father.
Not only did she know him, but they were sowhat acquainted.
