Chapter 167: Manipulation

Seven Sins System Chapter 167. Manipulation

Without a second thought, I decided to follow him from a distance. I was sure the cult had manipulated him and now, they ordered him to do something.

Strangely though his gaze looked blank, he was able to respond well. He talked to two academy guards near the park entrance and to my surprise, he was able to answer the guards' questions with ease and even made a short conversation with them. His voice was steady and calm. Also, he even managed to turn his head when he heard the sound of a squirrel jumping from a tree by his side.

At first glance, his behavior seemed normal, yet something about it felt off. His movements were slightly stiff and unnatural, and his eyes had a blank, vacant look to them. It was as if he were in a trance, his mind under the control of some powerful force. And I knew that what I was witnessing was not some simple manipulation spell, but a mortal forbidden spell at the highest level - one that could bring someone under its control without their knowledge, allowing the caster to manipulate them at will, and release their control just as easily.

'Where is he going?' I thought, following him cautiously.

I ventured deeper into the park, accompanied by the soft sounds of the crunching of fallen leaves beneath my feet and the occasional rustling sound of bushes. The trees seemed to loom above me, their branches reaching out like gnarled fingers trying to grasp at me as I passed.

Passing through the empty park, I ended up on the other side of the academy, near the back of the hospital to be exact.

And then, he stopped. His hand reached into the pocket of his jeans before he took out a piece of folded paper. I knew without a doubt, it was a summoning formation. I was sure it was used to summon demons since he also took out a small knife from his other pocket.

I realized that I had to act fast, so I decided to make my move.

After I looked around carefully, making sure that there was no one around to witness what I was about to do, I teleported behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, you!" I called out, my voice firm and commanding.

My arrival startled him and he jumped in surprise.

At the same time, a tingling sensation lingered in my fingertips, as my tiny Envy tentacles emerged from them and stuck to the back of his neck.

"Ah, I'm sorry doc," he answered apologetically.

I knew that this was a risky move, but to get to know about the cult, I had to do it. I was not sure I could get much information out of it.

Then I diverted my eyes to the folded knife in his hand. It was small and thin, the handle made of polished wood, and the blade glinting in the light.

"Is that a knife?" I pretended to be surprised.

Urgently, I reached out and took the knife from his hand. My fingers closed around the handle and checked it.

Soon I noticed the blood on the tip of the blade. It was a clear indication that this knife had been used recently. Which meant he just summoned the demons somewhere else.
