Mark bit his lip and struggled a little: "That headdress is a Horcrux..."
Ronan's eyes lit up: "What kind of Horcrux?"
"The device that holds the soul is a Horcrux. I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true." Mark frowned, looking scared: "If that thing is really a Horcrux, it would be too bad. Wait for her Turning thirty years old... No, I'm afraid she has awakened in advance and taken over her consciousness! Oh my god, she will kill me!"
What he said was incoherent, but Ronan understood it.
Ayuya's headdress with green gems is a container for the soul.
If you wear it for a long time, the soul residing on it will take over your consciousness.
The second-generation Ayuya has never touched the headdress, and the soul inside is probably that of the first-generation Ayuya.
In other words, Ayuya, who turned into a Naga and attacked him on September 1st, was manipulating the body!
The first generation Ayuya was first captured by Farbes and then imprisoned on the island.
She must have hated Roosevelt in her heart to launch a crazy revenge against the Bruce family.
No wonder Mark was killed at that time.
Seeing Mark rubbing his head and thinking hard, Ronan asked tentatively: "You just said... what do you mean by turning thirty?".
"The Nagas live longer than humans, and they usually don't wake up until they are thirty years old."
"Oh." Ronan suddenly realized.
According to the records in Roosevelt's diary, the first and second generation Ayuya probably died before they reached the age of thirty.
Only the third generation Ayuya meets this condition.
Mark looked serious and looked up at the handsome face in front of him: "Tell me the truth, are you coming to me today for the sake of the entire family or for Ayuya?"
Seeing his serious look, Ronan saved a file and replied: "Ayuya."
Mark's eyebrows drooped and his face returned to calm: "Okay, thank you for coming to me to tell me this. I already know the matter. I will arrange people to handle it as soon as possible. You can go back first."
The words were very official, with a sense of closing the door and seeing off guests.
Ronan walked to the door and cursed.
At this time, he is really a chicken with a small belly.
If you want to dispel Mark's doubts, you have to pretend not to know about the past things.
Ronan returned from reading the file, faced Mark's question, and responded: "Of course it is for the sake of my family and the entire family that this happened. I admit, I feel that I was familiar with Ayuya before. Yes, it was before, This is now."
"Did you... really forget?" Mark saw that his attitude didn't seem to be fake, but he still didn't believe it.
"If you forget, you just forget. I don't understand what's the benefit of lying to you?" Ronan pretended to be angry, a little annoyed: "Just tell me, is there any way to stop it?"
Mark looked hesitant, considering whether to say it or not. He must have noticed something strange about Ayuya recently.
However, he could not verify the information given unilaterally by Ronan.
If Horcruxes were real, coming to them in person would undoubtedly lead to death.
The first generation of Ayuya showed no mercy to the descendants of Roosevelt.
Mark came to the door, called a servant, and gave some instructions.
The servant was a little nervous. Mark said a few more words before the servant left happily.
Ronan had seen the servant, the one who had been watching him.
Seeing the servant leaving, he could make a rough guess even if he didn't hear the content.
The head of the Mark family promised his servant a large sum of money to go to the air-raid shelter for him to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence.
If the servant returns safely, Ronan only needs to be detained, and the family sacrifice can proceed as normal.
After the tragedy happened, the main island was full of Mark's people.
When the time comes to testify together, he will have to bear the blame even if he doesn't want to.
If the servant cannot come back within the stipulated time, it means that the Horcrux exists and Ayuya's consciousness has been manipulated by the first generation.
Mark will shoot him, hide the body in the secret room and escape from the island.
Ronan saw through his careful plan, but did not criticize it. He asked, "Is it okay if I take off Ayuya's headdress?"
"She has been wearing a snake ring for so many years, and she has long since raised a giant python that is humane." Mark put his left hand in his pocket. There should be a pistol in it: "What are you going to pick, are you brave?"
Ronan shrugged, his answer indirectly indicating that removing the tiara would work.
It's just that this headgear is hard to take off.
No matter whether Ayuya was before she transformed into Naga or after transforming into Naga, he had no chance or ability to pick it.
Before transforming into a naga, there is a giant python guarding him, which is so powerful that even if he activates it, he can't be reckless.
Time passed by minute by minute.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the servant has not returned yet.
Mark looked extremely anxious and paced back and forth in the room.
His right hand remained hidden in his pocket, holding a pistol.
After a while, he took out his right hand, raised his wrist, and checked the time on his watch.
At this moment, Ronan suddenly got angry. A collision caused Mark to lose his center of gravity, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.
He also took the opportunity to snatch away the pistol and take the initiative.
Seeing that the revolver was taken away, Mark turned pale and raised his voice: "I'm warning you, don't mess around!"
"Ah."
Ronan snorted coldly, closed the door and locked it, then motioned Mark with his pistol to go to the bookshelf.
He came to the bookshelf and turned on the switch, revealing the hidden secret passage.
"please."
Mark glanced at him, stared at the gun, and finally chose to compromise.
After entering the secret room, Ronan motioned for him to squat in the corner and put his head in his hands: "Now I ask, you answer, do you understand?"
"Do you understand what you are doing? I am the head of the family!" Mark raised his head and glared arrogantly.
Ronan ignored him and hit him hard on the head with his revolver.
"Ouch, don't... stop fighting, I said, I said." Mark, who had been so stubborn just now, suddenly became honest.
"If it's not convenient for you to answer, you can just nod or shake your head. Do you understand?"
Mark stared at Ronan, and when he raised his elbow, he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I understand."
"Can you tell me the content of the blood oath?"
Mark shook his head.
"Write it out?"
Mark was startled, then shook his head.
"Are there any penalties if it's revealed in some way?"
Mark nodded.
"Is this punishment serious?"
Mark nodded sharply.
"If Ayuya becomes a Naga, no one on the island can be her opponent. Is it useful to contact the military?"
"No!" Mark stood up and objected strongly: "If the things here are revealed, my colleagues will definitely fight to death, and then the family's industry will be completely destroyed!"
Ronan nodded and made final confirmation: "Will taking off the headdress prevent Ayuya from turning into a Naga?"
Mark was a little discouraged and sat on the ground again: "Theoretically, yes."
In theory
This is difficult to do.
Based on the clues we have so far, removing the headgear is very tricky.
With just him and all the defense forces on the island, it is difficult to match Naga.
Ronan frowned, remembering the last trump card in his backpack.
Do you really want to use that
