"So, before we figured out what happened to the Kamel family, the most effective witnesses died. I think this incident may become one of the few unsolved mysteries in my life... "
This is Dad's summary of the Kamel incident, and he seemed a little disappointed. Although Jenkins knew what happened, he couldn't tell him.
In the afternoon, Jenkins went to see Fenny again and made an appointment with her to attend the funeral of Louise's family and neighbors on Friday. All the people who died in the hands of Divo, except Louise, who can exist in the material world in the form of an angel, must accept the embrace of death.
It is obvious that most people cannot find relatives and friends who can pay for the funeral expenses, so Jenkins just explained his intention to donate to Miss Bevanna, and Miss Bevanna said that this matter does not belong She manages.
Before he finished talking with the girl, he was interrupted by the Keeper's apprentice. Mr. Smith needed to find Jenkins.
"It's like this. Do you still remember the B-10-2-3491 you found for the church, [The Curse of the Love Comb]? There was an abnormality in that thing this morning, and a very conspicuous crack appeared on it. Just now , the comb is completely broken and has lost all its extraordinary properties. I think this number can be cancelled. But this item was found based on your information after all, so if you have time, you can take a look and sign it. Proof that it has not been exchanged and indeed is automatically destroyed."
The comb that implicated love was the most fundamental reason why the Kamel family was cursed. Now that the curse is eliminated, the hatred of the lovebirds in the comb is also eliminated.
Jenkins hoped that the innocent little bird thousands of years ago could rest in peace, and blindly warned his cat that birds are not delicious, and the taste is much worse than turkey.
Soon, the keeper brought the broken comb to a separate office. The last time I saw it, the comb was still brand new, but now it seems that it has been washed away by thousands of years, and it is almost gone. Two pieces of rotten wood.
Jenkins observed with the [Eye of Reality], wanting to confirm that there was no aura on the comb, but unexpectedly found two pure white translucent birds standing next to the comb, combing each other's feathers with their beaks.
"Meow~"
The cat yawned and pretended not to see anything like the Keeper.
Both birds are very beautiful. Although they appear in the form of pure white spirit bodies and cannot see the gorgeous feathers, their body shape and posture alone are enough to be called noble birds.
Seemingly realizing that Jenkins was watching them, the lovebirds twittered and flew up from left to right. Only then did Jenkins notice that their wings were all incomplete, as if they had been maliciously damaged by a knife.
The lovebirds staggered and flew, and Jenkins subconsciously stretched out his hands to support them.
"Mr. Williams?"
The old keeper looked at Jenkins' actions suspiciously, and then his eyes widened. When the lovebirds touched Jenkins' palm, the two birds seemed to be resurrected, and they truly materialized.
They rolled in the palm of Jenkins, making a sweet bird song. The broken wings became whole little by little under the light of the gas lamp. When the wings were completely restored to the feathers with beautiful colors, the two lovebirds flapped their wings and took off.
They flew around Jenkins' head twice, chirping to express their excited interest. In the end, before the eye-catching cat pounced on him, they flew towards the wind and rain outside the window together wisely, leaving only two feathers, one black and one white, sliding down in the air.
The feathers finally folded together, and when they landed on the carpet, they became a double-feather bracelet. The front and back ends of the two feathers are put together, and the bracelet is completely natural.
Jenkins leaned over to pick it up and found that the material was both jade and gold, but generally speaking, it was not suitable for young gentlemen to wear, but rather like jewelry for beautiful ladies.
"What's this?"
Judging from the color of the aura, this is undoubtedly a numbered item, but Jenkins couldn't recognize what it was, so he asked the secret keeper who hadn't slowed down yet.
The keeper still looked out of the window under the gloomy sky, and the two lovebirds could not even see the black spots in the rain.
"B-11-05-9421 [Inverted Blessing Bracelet·Love], only extraordinary creatures representing the purest blessings can give such a gift to mortals. Those who own it will get great benefits in love and marriage Lucky, but once there is an act of betrayal of love, the blessing will be reversed into a curse, and the wearer will be given the most severe punishment."
"The harm outweighs the good."
Jenkins considers himself a loyal person, but considering that the real environment does not allow him to be single-minded, and it is difficult to determine whether he has betrayed love, he decided not to wear this thing on his hand.
"It's just caution, not fear."
He said to himself, then nodded, as if to convince himself.
The presence of the lovebirds was not what the Church expected, but at least it wasn't a bad thing. The appearance of two birds represents that the soul in the cursed comb has been released, and the curse will naturally disappear.
This proves from one aspect that the matter of the Kamel family has really come to an end. Although the father still regrets that he did not figure out the truth until the end, other people, especially the secret keeper who witnessed the lovebirds flying into the sky Smith, all rejoicing at the end of the incident.
The church refused to let Jenkins turn in the bracelet, tacitly acquiescing that it belonged to him. Jenkins put the bracelet in a box and piled it in a corner of his church room, in case a ghost might slip it on one day.
Monday's torrential rain stopped for a while on Tuesday morning, but today, Wednesday, it became manic again. On rainy days, Jenkins huddled in the church to kill time until Dad's ban on him from going out was over.
Friends all took advantage of this time to visit him, and apart from Professor Burns and Captain Bincy, who was also sick, Miss Capet's appearance was the most surprising.
Although she has been in Nolan, as a pagan, she rarely enters the Temple of Ability God without a valid reason. But because she wanted to visit Jenkins, she directly applied for a visit.
"You don't look hurt."
Miss Capet was sitting in a chair by the hospital bed, peeling an apple with her pocket knife. Both Jenkins and the cat stared at the ever-extending peel without blinking, wondering if she would be able to keep cutting it until the end.
