The warden who guards the witches

"Rebecca?" Aiden was slightly surprised.

Rebecca's face also froze, and then she sighed as if she realized her own loss of composure: "I'm sorry, my voice was too loud. But Precia is an important criminal that we have worked so hard to catch. I think it's a bit... You don't want to let her die like this, do you?"

"Of course not, why do you think so?" Aiden sighed and prepared to explain, "Actually..."

At this point, he suddenly paused.

From the moment they met, he could feel that there was a very unnatural sense of anxiety between Rebecca's facial expressions and words and deeds - he still had this degree of professional vision.

A tentative thought came to his mind, and after a brief thought, he said: "In fact, we have already done emergency treatment, her condition is quite stable, and the hospital has been contacted, you can rest assured."

"Is that so." Rebecca looked relieved.

After a short silence, Aiden called her, "Rebecca."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have any impression of this thing?" Aiden took out the diamond-shaped black crystal from his jacket pocket without warning, and stared at Rebecca's face.

For a moment, he caught Rebecca's slightly widened eyes and the slight change in her pupils.

"This thing, I..." Rebecca paused briefly, then answered, "I seem to have a little impression..."

"Oh?"

"But I can't remember it." Rebecca shook her head again, "But there is indeed a sense of déjà vu, what on earth is this?"

Aiden stared at Rebecca's face. He lied about contacting the hospital and suddenly took out the voucher because he was a little suspicious.

Just now, when he saw that the other party was not mentally prepared to suddenly take out this thing, he did see the other party's inner shock from the subtle change in his eyes.

If Rebecca said at this time that she had no idea what this thing was, he would dare to conclude that Rebecca was lying.

But Rebecca's answer now can still be justified. She doesn't recognize this thing, but she has a sense of déjà vu, which can barely explain her change of expression just now.

I couldn't find out anything, but the unnatural feeling is still there.

"This thing does have something to do with you, but it involves some confidential information, so I can't say it for the time being..." Aiden answered vaguely, "I will hand it over to the Inquisition later, and you can find out when you go there tomorrow."

"Confidential... OK, I understand." Rebecca didn't mean to get to the bottom of this, "Then do you want to hand it over now?"

"No, I can't leave the prison for the time being." Aiden answered calmly.

Precia's condition has just stabilized, and she should be observed for at least a few hours. During this period, he needs to stay in prison.

"Why don't I help you send this to the bureau." Rebecca suddenly suggested.

"No, this is against the procedure."

"What is against the procedure? I am also a senior judge..."

"But you are not now. You are recuperating. This is not an emergency. You do not have the power to enforce the law. Don't overstep your authority, Rebecca." Aiden reminded.

"But..." Rebecca seemed to want to insist.

"Is it necessary to be so persistent?" Aiden narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"No..." Rebecca was stunned for a moment, "I just think this thing...may be a clue for me to recover my memory."

"Don't worry, I will hand it over tomorrow. I will handle Precia's affairs properly. You can go back today." Aiden decisively began to see the guest off.

After a moment of silence, Rebecca finally compromised: "Okay, then I'll trouble you..."

"Well, goodbye."

Aiden watched Rebecca get up from her seat and leave the room, and his eyes never left her.

A few minutes later, Aiden returned to his office and took out the pendant again to look at it.

Rebecca's sudden visit made him feel more uncomfortable than when they met in the morning.

From the test just now, no matter whether Rebecca was telling the truth or not, one thing is certain - Rebecca should have seen this "Great Witch's Certificate".

In other words, Precia should have swallowed this into her stomach when she was forced to the end by Rebecca. After both of them suffered from the amnesia magic to varying degrees, this matter was not discovered until Precia had an attack in prison - from the timing point of view, this is also the most likely explanation for the moment.

Then why did Precia swallow this thing into her stomach? Was it to prevent this Great Witch Certificate from falling into the hands of the Inquisition?

What's wrong...

This behavior itself has no meaning at all.

Even if Rebecca forgot the existence of the pendant because of the amnesia magic, it was only a matter of time before the pendant was discovered after falling into the control of the Inquisition.

A wanted criminal of Precia's level would inevitably undergo a physical examination, including an anal examination, when thrown into the Inquisition. If the pendant was not stuck in the stomach and intestines, it should be excreted from the body quickly - and then it would be easily seized by the Inquisition.

The Inquisition has not discovered it yet, mainly because the pendant is stuck in Precia's body. Of course, this also led to her suffering today. Once she gets sick, no matter whether the Inquisition or the prison is responsible for providing treatment, they will sooner or later find the pendant hidden in her body. Even if she dies, it will be exposed during the autopsy when investigating the cause of death.

From this perspective, swallowing the pendant into the stomach is a bit like protecting the pendant and then handing it over to the Inquisition...

The great witch Precia, how could she not think of such a thing and let herself suffer in vain?

Or at that time, she just didn't have the time to think about this calmly, and swallowed this thing in a hurry?

After thinking for a while, Aiden finally decided to put aside his thoughts on this matter - this kind of thing is indeed more appropriate to report to the muscular old man of the Inquisition for handling. Whether it is Rebecca's abnormality or this evidence, it is the responsibility of the Inquisition. He was responsible for this prison and the prisoners inside, and now he had to wait for Precia's condition to stabilize.

Thinking of this, he was about to put the pendant back into his pocket.

But at this moment, the pendant suddenly vibrated unnaturally at his fingertips.

Aiden stopped and stared at the pendant in his hand.

The gray mist sealed in the pendant suddenly burst out and swallowed him whole.
