Kill through American horror, starting from the witches' coven.

"A ghost? Of course not. Martha is a living person."

With Robb's rich practical experience, he can naturally tell the difference between ghosts and living people.

At this moment, Martha, who was crying in his arms like a frightened little rabbit, was actually a lively and cute little girl.

Hearing this, Penelope looked incredulous: "A living person?"

She rubbed her eyes vigorously.

Still saw nothing.

Not even the sound of crying could be heard.

"Robb…are you sure you're okay?"

Seeing Penelope asking him cautiously as if she had seen a ghost, Robb didn't say anything and simply grabbed the former's hand and pressed it on Martha.

Feeling the warm touch from her palm, Penelope was suddenly startled: "Is there really someone?!!"

Robb chuckled: "Now you believe that I am sane, right?"

Penelope nodded sheepishly at first, then murmured, "But...but why can't I see or hear anything? Even after I let go of my hand, I felt like my memory was fading away."

Robb frowned when he heard this: "It looks like this is some kind of curse, or some kind of witchcraft, ritual, ability or something like that."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed Penelope's shoulder, and following the steps from a magic ritual book at the Witch Academy, he injected a portion of his spiritual power into Penelope's body, leaving a magic mark on her shoulder that looked like a blood-gold book.

Its original purpose is to monitor the every move of Indian journalists in a short period of time.

But here, Robb used it as a spiritual aid, allowing Penelope to use the spirituality within the mark to deepen her perception.

Soon, when Robb let go and Penelope looked over again, she exclaimed, "Rob, I saw the little girl in your arms!"

really!

Robb's eyes sparkled.

He finally understood why Tom didn't exist in other people's impressions.

Just because he is like Martha in my arms.

Due to some force, he has been blocked from the world.

The only explanation why I was not affected was my strength.

To be precise, it was the spirituality in his body that broke through the power that blocked cognition.

And the spirituality required is no less.

Otherwise Penelope wouldn't have thought there was something wrong with him all the way.

……

Chapter 250 The target appears

There is still a rare spirituality in Penelope.

She didn't at first.

But as you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.

Under the assimilation of Robb's highly radioactive spiritual source, Penelope, who had lived with him for a long time and even had many close contacts with him, also developed a trace of spirituality in her body.

This is not an isolated case.

It is true that people who have more contact with ghosts are more likely to have abnormalities.

In addition, wizards, alchemists, and the like need to go through various training methods to improve their spirituality or magical powers.

Spirituality is not something that is completely determined by nature like in modern society where class structure is rigidly stratified.

Having said that, even Penelope, who had a rare spiritual power in her body, had her memory blocked by an unknown force, not to mention ordinary people.

The only one in Tom's social circle who still remembered him was Robb.

If one person behaves abnormally, others will think you are a freak.

If everyone behaves abnormally, then this abnormality is normal, and someone whose behavior is truly normal is considered a freak.

Robb is the one who actually behaves normally.

If it were someone else, faced with irrefutable facts and widespread criticism, their initial persistence might have evolved into self-reflection.

But Robb was different.

He was not wrong at all.

Never found out what went wrong.

So it's not me who's wrong, it's this world.

Sure enough, the facts were just as he expected.

"Penny, can you still remember Tom now?" Robb asked.

With the help of the spiritual power injected by Robb, Penelope thought for a moment, her eyes lit up and she said, "I remember! The boy named Tom. He came in just a few minutes after Finger left."

Robb smiled with satisfaction: "Now you know that the great Robb will never make mistakes, right?"

"Of course! Next time, Robb, no matter how strange something happens to you, I will never question you again." Penelope, who had experienced it herself, said from the bottom of her heart.

"That's good. Penny, when you go back, introduce me to those pretty girls who took photos with you in your phone photos. They are very important."

"……roll!"

The joke is over.

Robb handed Martha, who was tired of crying, to Penelope, who had already seen the scene, to take care of her.

After all, the latter is much more tolerant than him.

Penelope did not refuse. While comforting Martha, she was shocked and asked, "What kind of ability can make people forget and modify the video at the same time?"

Penelope thought of the surveillance video she had watched in the office before.

If human memory can be blocked, can the recordings from machines also be blocked?

Hearing this, Robb also thought of the photos when he investigated the Walker family, in which Tom was not in the photos. To be more precise, Tom had disappeared. He shook his head and said, "Whether it is witchcraft or natural ability, some things are always unreasonable."

He encountered quite a few of them.

For example, Misty the unusual witch's resurrection from the dead.

For example, Sarah's fantasy country that came out of nothing.

And Robb's own dark blue plus points.

Robb was not as shocked as Penelope about the situation.

"What should we do now?" Penelope asked while holding Martha.

Robb looked at Martha, whose emotions had stabilized, and said with passion in his eyes: "Of course, we must find out the real culprit behind all this and kill him!"

The shelter is his.

The ability to make people forget will also be his!

……

Yacht, beach, and old man fishing.

Everything is as usual.

The only thing that was unusual was that a little girl named Martha stood alone outside the lively crowd, wanting to join in but unable to.

No one paid any attention to her.

To be more precise, no one noticed her existence.

On the beach not far away, a newly arrived pair of handsome man and beautiful woman pretended to look here casually from time to time.

Penelope, who had spent some money to change into a belly-baring tank top and shorts to show off her hot body, lay on the beach mat and let Robb apply sunscreen on her body while whispering:

"Is it safe to leave Martha there alone?"

Robb: "Don't worry, since the murderer has spent so much effort to isolate Martha from society, he won't let her die as soon as she arrives."

The strategy to find the murderer behind the scene is simple.

If Tom can't be found, then use Martha, who has the same experience as him, as bait.

Whoever it is, as long as he can find Martha and take her away, he is undoubtedly an enemy.

Get rid of it and all problems will be solved.

As for how to persuade Martha.

Just tell her that everything will be back to normal once the bad guy is caught.

Of course Martha agreed.

And performed quite well.

Except for the fact that he would occasionally stare at Robb and Penelope not far away at the beginning, after a long time, he started playing on the skateboard alone.

After some time.

Penelope propped herself up, allowing the huge mountain that was pressing down on her to finally relax. After breathing in the fresh air, she yawned and said lazily, "Hasn't it come yet?"

Robb was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes fixed and he changed his words: "It should be here."

"should?"

Penelope said doubtfully, following Robb's gaze to a mature woman in a dress who was walking towards them not far away.

She didn't know the person, but Robb knew very well that the mature woman was Tom's neighbor, and the real person in the portrait he saw when he entered the neighbor's house uninvited before.

If Tom's guess was correct, there was something seriously wrong with this woman.

as predicted.

As Robb and Penelope secretly watched, the woman walked towards Martha, who was playing alone, with a clear purpose.

When she came to Martha, she leaned over and whispered something in the little girl's ear.

After a few breaths, Martha took the woman's hand, without even looking at Robb, and followed the woman into the forest.

Watching the two of them walking further and further away, Penelope couldn't help but say, "Robb!"

"I understand," Robb said calmly.

Martha and the woman were seen about to walk into the forest.

Robb's eyes moved, and he put his arms around Penelope. The two of them flashed and chased after him.

"Huh? What just happened?"

A passerby who was standing nearby felt a sudden gust of wind and turned his head to look, but saw nothing.

"strangeness."

He shook his head, didn't think much about it, and continued to do his own thing.

There are many people like him.

With Robb's current speed, if he burst out with all his strength, it would be difficult for ordinary people to catch a glimpse of him even under their noses.

Soon, in the forest out of everyone's sight, Robb and Penelope quickly caught up with their target.

Chapter 251 Under the Skin

"Let go of Martha!"

Penelope's angry shout broke the silence of the forest.

The mature woman who was Tom's neighbor looked up at the strange couple who suddenly blocked the road and asked in surprise, "How could you see it?"

Robb was too lazy to say anything so obvious, and asked, "Where's Tom?"

The woman was a little confused: "Tom?"
