Chapter 178

"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 like a frightened little rabbit in his arms, was a lively and cute little loli.

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

She rubbed her eyes vigorously.

Still didn't see anything.

Not even a cry could be heard.

"Robb...are you sure you're okay?"

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

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

Robb chuckled: "Do you believe that my mind is okay now?"

Penelope nodded sheepishly at first, and then murmured: "But...but why I still can't see or hear. Even after letting go, I feel like the memory just now is fading."

When Robb heard this, he frowned: "It seems like this is some kind of curse, or some kind of witchcraft, ritual, ability or the like."

As he spoke, he reached out and held Penelope's shoulders. Following the steps in a magic ritual book from the Witch Academy, he injected part of his spirituality into Penelope's body, leaving a streak of blood and gold on her shoulders. A magic mark that looks like a book.

Its original function is to monitor every move of the imprinted person within a short period of time.

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

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

really!

Robb's eyes flashed.

He finally understood why Tom was not a person in other people's impressions.

Just because he is like Martha in my arms.

Under the influence of some kind of power, he has been blocked by the world.

The only explanation why he was not affected was strength.

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

And the required spirituality cannot be less.

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

…

Chapter 250 Chapter 250 The target appears

Penelope still has some rare spirituality in her body.

She didn't at first.

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

Under the assimilation of Robb, a highly radiant spiritual source, they have been living together, and even Penelope, who has had many close contacts, has a trace of spirituality in her body.

This is not an isolated case.

It is true that people who have had too much contact with ghosts have a chance of developing abnormalities.

In addition, wizards, alchemists, etc. need to improve their spirituality or Dharma power through various cultivation methods.

Spirituality is not something that is completely determined innately like modern society where classes are solidified.

Having said that, even the memory of Penelope, who has rare spirituality in her body, is blocked by unknown forces, let alone ordinary people.

In Tom's social circle, the only one who still remembers him is Robb.

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

If everyone behaves abnormally, then this abnormality is considered normal. On the contrary, someone who behaves truly normally is regarded as a freak.

Robb is the one who acts truly normal.

If you were someone else, faced with the irrefutable facts and the overwhelming opinions, your initial persistence might turn into self-reflection.

But Robb was different.

He was right.

Never found out what was wrong.

So it’s not you who’s wrong, it’s the world.

Sure enough, the facts were as he expected.

"Petunia, can you remember Tom now?" Robb asked.

With the help of Robb's spiritual power, Penelope thought for a moment, her eyes lit up and said, "I remembered it! That boy named Tom. He came in a few minutes after Finger left."

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

"Of course! No matter how weird something happens to you next time Robb, I will never question it again." Penelope, who had experienced it personally, said from the bottom of her heart.

"That's good. Penny, when you get back, introduce to me the beautiful girls you took photos with on your mobile phone. They are very important."

"……roll!"

The joke is over.

Robb handed Martha, who was tired from crying in his arms, into the hands of Penelope, who had already seen her.

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

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

Penelope thought of the scene she watched on the surveillance video in the office.

Human memories can be blocked, but so can machine recordings?

Hearing this, Robb also thought of the photos he had taken during the investigation at Walker's house without Tom, or more precisely, Tom had disappeared. He shook his head and said, "Whether it's witchcraft or innate abilities, there are always some... It’s unreasonable.”

He has encountered many.

Such as Misty's unusual witch's return from the dead.

For example, Sarah created a fantasy kingdom out of nothing.

And Robb’s own dark blue plus points.

Robb was not as shocked as Penelope at the current situation.

"What now?" Penelope asked, holding Martha.

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

The containment site is his.

The ability to make people forget will also be his!

…

Yachts, beaches, old people fishing.

Everything is as usual.

The only thing that was abnormal was that the little girl named Martha stood alone outside the lively crowd, wanting to join in but couldn't.

No one paid any attention to her.

To be more precise, no one noticed her existence.

On the beach not far away, a pair of newly arrived handsome men and women pretended to be casual and looked here from time to time.

For the sake of the public, I spent some money and put on a midriff-baring camisole and shorts. Penelope, who showed off her hot figure, lay on the beach mat and asked Robb to apply sunscreen on herself and whispered. :

"Is it safe to leave Martha there alone?"

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

The strategy to find the culprit is simple.

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

No matter who it is, as long as they can find Martha and take her away, they are undoubtedly the enemy.

Get rid of it and all problems will be solved smoothly.

As for how to persuade Martha.

Just tell her that after catching the bad guy, everything will be back to normal.

Of course Martha agreed.

And it performed pretty well.

Except for Robb and Penelope, who looked longingly not far away from time to time at the beginning, as time went on, they started to play alone on the skateboard ladder.

After a while.

Penelope propped herself up, letting the huge mountains that were pressing her down finally relax. After breathing in the fresh air, she hit Hatch and said lazily without realizing it: "Aren't you here yet? "

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

"should?"

Penelope said doubtfully, and followed Robb's gaze to a mature woman in a dress who was walking here not far away.

She didn't recognize the visitor, but Robb knew very well that the mature woman was Tom's neighbor, and she was also the person whose portrait he had seen before when he entered the neighbor's house uninvited.

If Tom's guess is correct, there is something very wrong with this woman.

as expected.

Under the hidden gaze of Robb and Penelope, the arriving woman walked towards Martha, who was playing alone, with a very clear purpose.

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

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

Seeing the two of them walking further and further away, Penelope couldn't help but said: "Robb!"

"I understand," Robb said calmly.

Seeing Martha and the woman about to go into the forest.

Robb's eyes moved, and he wrapped his arms around Penelope, and the two of them ran away in hot pursuit.

"Huh? What just happened?"

On the side, passers-by who felt a sudden strong wind blow turned their heads and glanced. But found nothing.

"strangeness."

He shook his head, didn't think much, and just continued doing his own thing.

There are many people like him.

With Robb's current speed and full force bursting out, even under the eyes of ordinary people, it would be difficult to catch him.

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

Chapter 251 Chapter 251 Under the Skin

"Let Martha go!"

Penelope shouted, breaking the silence of the forest.

The mature woman next door that Tom could not forget looked up at the strange man and woman who suddenly blocked the road, and said with a surprised look on his face: "You can actually see it?"

Robb didn't bother to say anything about something so obvious, and instead asked, "Where's Tom?"

The woman was a little confused: "Tom?"
