Chapter 296: Power Of The Gems-III

The ghouls behind Xiao Yun saw how the rest was thrown away after sticking too close to her and cowered in fear as they were afraid they would disappeared like the ones they had seen before.

"You are not wrong it is a curse in a way, Ms. Yu." Xiao Yun was startled by his words again. Did he read her thought? And sure enough Liu Yan Hui chuckled to confirm her suspicions.

"There are a few type of people who are followed by ghouls. If the person are tied by a curse or if they had a very bad luck in life. In the opposite case, there is a person like Li Lei who could repeal the ghouls. If you stay by his side all the time the ghouls would not be able to stick to you again." It was the reason why the ghouls who hugged her disappeared just now.

"But the ghouls will follow me if I'm alone." She muttered and he gave a nod. She can not be sure she would be able to stay by Wang Li Lei's side every second but if she didn't, misfortunes that would take her life would stick to her.

"I can do something about that." he trailed and reached out his hand toward the gem to come at a say, "This gem is covered by forbidden magic." The two words he uttered garnered their attention.

Liu Yan Hui knitted his brows. Xiao Yun is not because she had turn back time but also because the two people who followed her by turning back their times. Mortals who used black magics, taboo magics, and forbidden magics were rare as their existence had been hidden for hundreds of years. He had met a few special cases like Xiao Yun who performed taboo magics by accident but the same can't be said with two people who followed her. It could be seen how they had placed the forbidden magic to the blue gem.

"What kind of forbidden magic?" Xiao Yun asked. "and how is it different from taboo magic?"

"Black magics are usually used for evil purposes and they work like a curse. The other two magics are affiliated from black magics the differences are, forbidden magics are the spells which had been hidden due to many reasons while taboo magics are used by sacrificing a soul."

"Forbidden magics are supposed to be hidden then how this person create this gem?" Wang Li Lei questioned the man.

"I don't know much about forbidden magics too but I do have some books about this if you want, I can look more into it."

"Please," Xiao Yun requested.

"What do you know else from the gem apart from it is made from forbidden magic?" Wang Li Lei took Xiao Yun's hand which was staying idle at the side of the table, giving it a slight squeeze. "The gem's power work by interfering with my dream but it doesn't seem to work for Xiao Yun, is it because the sender purposely sent this for me?" But then it was weird because the anonymous sender gifted the gem to Xiao Yun's bodyguards rather than him.

Liu Yan Hui rose his brows as he hummed, "That's weird, this gem is for Ms. Yu and so far from what I could see this gem work for everyone. The gem's power is to store memories and tug a few strings for the people who slept with the gem to remember the events that took place on their first life. It should work even better to Ms. Yu. What was the difference when she used the gem?"

"We slept together." Wang Li Lei replied and Xiao Yun gingerly avoid Liu Yan Hui's eyes in awkwardness if he could read her mind.

"That must be the reason. This gem work only at one person at a time and can't work if you sleep with someone else." Liu Yan Hui held the gem with his fingers. To his eyes, the black smokes enveloped the blue sparkling gem making it too look dull unlike how other's would view the beautiful gem. It was the clear effect of the black magics being used in the gem.

So that how it is, Xiao Yun didn't thought of the possibility.

"Without the gem's power can one remember their past memories?" Wang Li Lei questioned piqued Liu Yan Hui's interest. "No, it shouldn't be." Said Liu Yan Hui in certainty.

"But I dreamt of the past without the gem being near me." When Wang Li Lei checked the pond and his car there was no gem similar to the one they had in front of them now.

Wang Li Lei was quick to fit the puzzles to speak, "Is it because Xiao Yun had once slept to test the power of gem?" at the words Wang Li Lei said, the man nodded his head.

"I could only roughly guess that your memories were triggered because of the gem's power. There is still a mystery to this gem and don't be fooled by the appearance even though the gem look newly made it is about four hundred years in age." Liu Yan Hui placed the gem back to the box and closed the lid with a crisp thud. Then he asked, "I could search more if you give me the gem for a month. What do you say? You can try the power again if you want."

Xiao Yun shook her head, "It is too dangerous for us to have this. Mr. Liu, please help us to analyze the gem's power." The gem is too suspicious for them to have for now and it was better for Liu Yan Hui to unravel the gem's power and origin.

As their talk was about to come at an end, Xiao Yun who almost forgot what she had wanted to direly ask recalled her question, "Mr. Liu about the other two people who turned back time like me, do you perhaps know who they are?" Wang Li Lei was about to ask the identity of the gem's sender when he heard her words.

"Of course," When it comes to interfering with mortals' fate Liu Yan Hui didn't care of the punishment Gods would have to him and didn't hold back to answer their question, "The person who sent this gem to you he is also one of the two people who turn back time."

"Who is he?"

To Wang Li Lei's question, Liu Yan Hui spoke lightly. "A man with a bright golden hair and green eyes. The half foreigner and Chinese man in his early twenties. I think you two know well who this man is."
