Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 313: Nothing learned.

Time was not on her side, she had only forty minutes to get to the Miller’s house. However, she was very interested to know what David’s men had discovered. "I highly doubt they found her or anything useful." She spoke with indifference.

The person that had taken Ruth had knowledge of magic and was very meticulous, Phoebe was certain that there were little or no clues that had been found, nevertheless it was better to listen because sometimes, people could surprise you.

"Tell me." She studied his face that wore a defeated expression, conveying what he was about to say before he could even do so.

"I am sorry babe, she wasn’t there. It seems like whoever took Ruth realized that those men had magic trackers."

David sighed and rubbed his eyes, it was obvious that he was hesitating on giving her any more information.

"What is it? Tell me." She used her hand to assure him to hurry up.

"I think you already know about this, but just in case you don’t..."

"David, babe, speed this up because I am time bad." Phoebe shuffled her feet.

Her tone held an urgency and he decided to kill two birds with one stone, have a long conversation with an opportunity to spend time together while telling her about what his people had found.

"I will drive you there, on the way we can discuss this and more." He

slid his hand into hers, which Phoebe appreciated. She needed to charge as much as possible for she had no idea what she was about to encounter at the Miller’s residence.

On the road, David explained to Phoebe the gruesome details of the scene his men had found at the location she had given him.

"All that was left were mutilated dead bodies."

"Show me." she said.

"Pheebs do you really want to look at this, the scene was very bloody, it’s terrible to even look at. I don’t want you to have nightmares."

She persistently shook her hand, gesturing for the phone to be handed over and he did so with a long suffering sigh. An intrigued Phoebe took the phone from him to have a better look, she had seen countless dead bodies before, there was no such thing as gruesome to her.

David knew this but he was reluctant, his fingers trembled as he handed the phone over.

"Oh my goodness!" She screamed on seeing the images of the bodies, the phone slid through her fingers and fell on her lips.

David was driving so he could not hug her, instead he reached his hand out and firmly clutched her arm.

"I told you that it was bad." he said softly.

Phoebe swallowed, resisting the minor urge to vomit. She had seen a lot of horrendous things but this was something else, the bodies had been cut up, eyes ripped out and hanging from eye sockets, blood was everywhere, limbs were littered around.

What she was used to were dead bodies, cleaned up and laying on the coroner’s table or old pictures of crime scenes, none this bloody or vivid.

"Phoebe pick up that phone, I need to see more." The Saxon spirit requested.

She picked up the phone, her hand still trembling and showed the images to the spirit. The men that had died with their eyes intact looked like they had died from fright as if they had seen something incredibly scary.

"What did that to them? How...what happened for them to seem this way." Phoebe asked.

Some of the bodies looked like they were thousands of years old or as if they had been put out in the sun and dried until nothing but skin and bones remained.

Again, there was so much blood around, puddles of it which sent chills down her spine.

The first response came from Connie who clapped her hands once like she had remembered something important. "I know what this is! Guys it’s vampires. I knew they were real."

"Vampires? Have you seen one with your ghost eyes?" Phoebe asked, the fear exiting her body.

"She’s not wrong, this land had all kinds of creatures crawling in it however, if it were vampires then we would she fang marks some where, I don’t happen to see any." The Saxon spirit continued to study the pictures, from it’s expression Phoebe could tell that it was nothing good.

"And it doesn’t account for the eyes that have been ripped out of their sockets, the blood or dry flesh. What is it then?" She asked.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

"Vampires drink blood, duh!" Connie said with an attitude of a high school queen bee.

"This is dark magic, not vampires." The spirit announced, it seemed unsettled just like Phoebe was.

"Dark magic? It was banned in Fog country. If you are caught practicing it the founding council literally makes you disappear." David blurted out.

Phoebe had an entirely different opinion on the subject of dark magic being banned, with all the things that she had been discovering lately, it seemed to be more on the rise than ever before.

"Well, this is not Fog country, perhaps that’s why this group opted to go to Silver nation. I don’t mean to scare you but this is nothing like those clown shamans in Magic city practice. This is the real deal, it’s the kind of dark magic that was practiced in the olden days. There is no way some one in this day and era knows how to completely absolve the life force of another human in one sitting, it’s too much power that needs months and years to eat up." The Saxon spirit explained more.

"Please explain more." David requested politely.

"Hmmm how do I explain it for you to understand....it’s like going to a cafe and you sit down, order for a glass of juice and use a straw to sip it all in one minute." The spirit explained the best way she could. "These dry corpses, someone sucked life out of them in a very short period of time, destroying even their souls."

Phoebe blinked rapidly; she had never heard of such a thing before. " Why would anyone do a thing like that? At what cost?" She had so many questions lingering in her head.

"To prolong the life of another." the Saxon spirit whispered. It recalled something and made a few guesses as to who had done it.

"Isn’t this similar to what Mackie Shuman did to Eliza’s children?" Connie asked.

"No, this is worse. In Mackie’s case, life essence was stolen but the souls of the children remained. This is worse, it erases a person from existence completely, there is no chance of reincarnation. No heaven, no hell, nothing.... you just cease to be."
