Chapter 398

Chapter 398 Soul Possession Lilly could not make sense of Pablo’s explanation.

Why would Uncle Bryson become another person once the soul puppet is attached to him without anyone noticing?

Lilly was confident she would notice it if Uncle Bryson became another person.

It wouldn’t happen without anyone noticing. Lilly was confident that she would realize it.

Seeing her perplexed, Pablo explained, “Let me put it this way. Some people, who were perfectly fine.

before, suddenly undergo a drastic change in behavior as if they have become completely different.

people. We often say a spirit has possessed them.”

Lilly nodded amusingly again.

She understood what it meant.

Pablo continued, “Those afflicted with a soul puppet will have their soul swapped. It isn’t a ghost but a living person possessing them.”

Lilly exclaimed in surprise.

Lilly always thought only a ghost could possess a human. She had never imagined a living person to possess a person. It was a discovery for her!

Lilly said, “Master is amazing. You know a lot of things!

Pablo chuckled as he gently pinched Lilly’s cheek, “Stop buttering me up.”

Lilly replied incoherently with her cheeks pinched, “Master isn’t a butter… Master is amazing, so you’re better!”

Pablo was at a loss for words because of Lilly’s amusing remarks.

Pablo interjected, “Back to the point. Master has visited the underworld. No one has reported a suspect.”

“The ghosts are monitored with proper regulation. The suspect hasn’t gone to the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.”

Lilly asked attentively, “Is the suspect a living human?”

Pablo nodded, “The suspect must be a human, but this is strange. How can he survive to the palace?”

Pablo had no clues earlier. However, the two cases coinfided after Lilly brought up the matter of the soul puppet.

“The culprit interrupts those approaching death but survives in the end. If the victim writes the culprit’s -

name, the culprit can substitute the victim’s soul and return to the victim’s body. Then, the culprit can continue living in the victim’s body.”

Lilly opened her eyes widely, “The soul puppet is sinister!”

Pablo nodded, “That’s right. A living person uses a soul puppet to possess another living person. The suspect wants to rob someone’s physical body.”

In other words, the culprit worked vigorously to figure out how to possess another human in the living world!

Lilly was puzzled, “Why? He is a living person. Why does he want to live as another person?”

The original body would be considered dead!

The culprit abandoned his original body. Wouldn’t he feel pity for it?

Pablo added, “It’s a common idea. For example, there’s an internet meme saying the person is too embarrassed that he wants to live on another planet.”

“It’s the same idea. Some people may have done something or experienced a significant change that prevents them from continuing to live with their original identity, so they might consider living as a new person.”

A new idea surfaced in Lilly’s mind, “He can opt for plastic surgery!”

Lilly knew what plastic surgery was. She had watched a IV drama with Granny lately. After a character went missing a few episodes, the character would be revealed to have opted for plastic surgery. The voice line typically said, “I have returned to take back what belongs to me.”

Pablo choked a little. How many TV dramas has Lilly watched? I don’t even see her watching them.

Pablo replied, “Plastic surgery may not resolve all the issues. Here’s another example. Suppose the person is terminally ill, but he wants to keep on living. In that situation, he would need someone else’s body…”

Lilly quickly understood, “It’s like a ghost finding a scapegoat!”

However, the person wasn’t dead, and he started finding someone else to replace him for death.

Pablo nodded, “You’re right.”

Lilly grasped what happened. If that’s the case, is Chris someone like that?

Lilly conveyed her doubts to Pablo.

Pablo went through a book, looking for the page with the name Chris.

The book recorded the life and death of all people in the world. Chris was the culprit if there was an anomaly in his fate.

“I have found him.” Pablo pointed at a page, but he seemed surprised.

“He isn’t the person I’m looking for.”

What went wrong? Was there another person? Was their logic flawed?
