Chapter 1518: Chapter 1518: Twins
A pot of lush banana leaves filled the room, wide green leaves casting large shadows, cool and pleasant. The black cat lay next to the potted plant, squinting and dozing, its tail flicking now and then.
It was unclear if it was deliberately imitating or mistaking the cat’s tail for one of its own kind, but the shadows of eight snakes followed its occasional flicking.
The cat was not quite accustomed to these extra things on its body, occasionally turning its head impatiently to glance, lazily meowing once, then turning back to continue its nap.
Gavin Graves spent two days on the ship with Cherry, and then two more guests requested to see the evil god.
Gavin asked her how many were left unseen.
Cherry counted on her fingers: “Saw a foreign old lady, met Purple Summers and Alexander Summers, once these two people are also seen, uh-huh… three left.”
Gavin said, “Then there are only two left.”
Cherry was slightly stunned, “How could there be only two left? … Oh! Right, it is two, one person who bought a dog was eliminated by me!”
Gavin was silent for a moment, then said, “Then it’s just one left.”
Cherry was stunned again, “How could there be only one left? Why?”
Gavin refused to say, only reminded: “Count again.”
“Even if I count again, it’s still two, why one?” Cherry pouted, hugged him coquettishly, “Tell me, tell me quickly…”
Mr. Ghost Hayes on the side: “Cough, cough…”
Gavin awkwardly turned his face away, not wanting to appear sticky in front of others, pretended to say calmly, “Go see your guests first, I’ll tell you when you come back.”
Cherry whimpered in his arms.
Gavin, having no choice, avoided Mr. Ghost Hayes’s gaze, lowered his head and quickly kissed her, “Alright, go on now.”
Only then did Cherry follow Mr. Ghost Hayes away.
First, she returned to the cabin to change into her late Qing dynasty noblewoman attire, then gracefully walked unhurriedly towards the meeting room.
This time, she was meeting a young couple from Southeast Asia, the Kingdom of Brunei.
This country is very wealthy, to such an extent that from kindergarten to university, education is completely free, even if studying abroad, the tuition, accommodation, and round-trip tickets are covered by the state. Healthcare is also free, and if treatment abroad is needed, the medical expenses and round-trip tickets are still covered by the state. Moreover, buying houses, cars, and doing business are all tax-free!
However, the country practices polygamy, the woman Cherry met was actually the man’s second wife.
The couple had twins about six months ago, one was dull and foolish, the other manic and insane. The hospital couldn’t diagnose the problem, and after consulting several local shamans, they were told the children were bewitched, but none could help.
Having heard that this auction had an evil god, they brought the children, hoping to try their luck.
The reason for hesitating so many days was that knowing they could make only one request, the couple naturally assumed the evil god would save only one child.
With this dilemma, they hesitated for many days before bringing the children to see the evil god.
The translator said to Cherry, “They deliberated for a few days, the two children, they are unwilling to give up either, willing to offer the same amount of money again, hoping you can help them.”
Cherry curiously looked at the little baby in the stroller.
The little one was chubby and cute at first glance, but upon closer inspection, something was off.
One was dull and foolish, expressionless, with no response to anything happening around it.
The other babbled continuously as if agitated, shouted a few times, clapped its hands, and its two eyes moved erratically, very abnormal.
Mr. Ghost Hayes was secretly startled upon seeing this, quietly asked her, “What kind of bewitchment is this?”
Cherry frowned without speaking, only rested her chin and quietly gazed at the twins.
The couple tensed nervously, hardly daring to breathe while waiting for a result.
After a long time, Cherry said to the translator, “The souls of the two children are intertwined, there’s no need for more money, but the treatment is quite complicated, I have only a fifty-sixty percent chance, if willing to try, bring the children after putting them to sleep tomorrow night.”
