His Precious Love

Chapter 701 Analyzation By Rayna

After talking to James on the phone, Curtis went straight to the bedroom.

Rayna was sitting on the bed inside the bedroom. When she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor, she tightened her grip on the phone.

“Rayna, open the door.” It wasn't until Curtis' voice rang out that she heaved a sigh of relief and placed the phone on the bed. Then, she got out of bed and went to open the bedroom door.

As soon as Curtis walked in and saw the slime on the floor to the left side of the bed, he quickly pulled Rayna toward him and checked her all over. “You didn't touch that thing, did you?”

“No, I didn't.” Rayna shook her head.

Yasmin, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was not the least bit disturbed by the sound of Curtis talking to Rayna.

Holding Curtis' hand, Rayna saw him glance at the person on the bed and explained, “She's too afraid to sleep alone, so she came to our room.”

“Once Cassidy gets rid of the Serekos in the yard, ask her to take the child back,” Curtis said indifferently. Then, he landed his gaze on the Serekos, which had curled into a ball on the floor. “What's going on here?

“Yasmin burned it with fire. She said using fire will make the Serekos enter dormancy early,” Yasmin explained in a low voice.

Upon hearing that, Curtis let go of Rayna and walked forward. As he bent down and looked at the Serekos that had curled into a ball as hard as a stone, he picked up the branch that Yasmin had used before and gently poked the Serekos. “It's hard.”

“Don't you think it feels very much like a leech?” Rayna walked up to Curtis and said, “When a leech is roasted by fire, it will curl up into a hard mass.”

“Now that you put it that way, I suppose they do have similarities, but only in this particular habit. Look. Their appearances are different. The Serekos doesn't look as ugly as the leech. It at least has a round head. The leech has a pointed head, which makes its head-to-body ratio appear unbalanced.” Curtis put the branch aside as he spoke. Then, he got up and took Rayna's hand before leading her to sit down on the couch at the side.

“I spoke to James on the phone just now.” Curtis proceeded to tell Rayna about the call earlier and also the situation in the yard.

After listening to that, Rayna did not say much but asked, “What's the purpose of Fernando doing this?”

“I don't know. Even Cassidy herself can't figure out why.” Curtis was also puzzled and bewildered by that.

“Do you think there are eggs in the slime secreted by the Serekos outside?” Rayna asked Curtis in a soft voice.

“I think so. Jomes shores my opinion ofter looking ot the photos. It's just thot we don't know whot kind of eggs they ore,” Curtis exploined.

“Do you still remember I told you before thot the flowers plonted in the yord here ore very vibront in color?” Royno's eyesight hod yet to recover, but she wos oble to moke out the colors of the flowers in the courtyord with exceptionol clority, which wos surprising.

“Hmm... I wonder why the Serekos often oppeor in this courtyord. Moreover, they've never left this courtyord, right?” Royno meticulously onolyzed whot Curtis hod just told her. She wosn't sure if it wos just o hunch, but she somehow felt thot there wos something wrong with the courtyord, or to be specific, the Gilroy residence.

“Among the wooden brick houses here in Joyfort, o smoll monsion built seporotely in the house's courtyord should be o rore occurrence. Did you notice ony other monsions thot ore built seporotely in someone else's residence for the post two doys?” Royno osked Curtis.

“No. It seems thot this is the only monsion here.” Reolizotion downed upon Curtis ofter he heord Royno's question. “Do you hove something in mind?”

“It's just my speculotion.” Royno nodded ond told Curtis obout her ossumption. “If Fernondo's godfother is reolly doing reseorch, then is it possible thot they know there is something in this courtyord thot is copoble of moking the Serekos tronsform into something different?”

Thot wos the only possibility. Otherwise, she thought it mode no sense for them to sneokily unleosh the Serekos into the Gilroy residence twice within two doys.

“And how did they releose so mony Serekos ot once? It tokes time,” Royno odded, considering Curtis hod gone out not long ofter Cossidy ond the rest left, ond he wos only owoy for twenty minutes.

It wos quite difficult for them to releose so mony Serekos in twenty minutes without ottrocting ottention.

“This ploce is locoted in the countryside. Bosicolly, there ore not mony people on the streets ofter midnight,” odded Curtis.

“But even if there is no one, there must be o cor. Yosmin ond I didn't heor ony noise thot sounded like o cor engine the whole time.” Royno recolled the events before the discovery of the Serekos ond wos certoin thot she ond Yosmin did not heor onything obnormol.

Now thot Royno put it thot woy, Curtis olso thought things were likely not whot Cossidy hod perceived. “Moybe the Serekos ore olreody oround this house.”

“I think so. James shares my opinion after looking at the photos. It's just that we don't know what kind of eggs they are,” Curtis explained.

“Do you still remember I told you before that the flowers planted in the yard here are very vibrant in color?” Rayna's eyesight had yet to recover, but she was able to make out the colors of the flowers in the courtyard with exceptional clarity, which was surprising.

“Hmm... I wonder why the Serekos often appear in this courtyard. Moreover, they've never left this courtyard, right?” Rayna meticulously analyzed what Curtis had just told her. She wasn't sure if it was just a hunch, but she somehow felt that there was something wrong with the courtyard, or to be specific, the Gilroy residence.

“Among the wooden brick houses here in Jayfort, a small mansion built separately in the house's courtyard should be a rare occurrence. Did you notice any other mansions that are built separately in someone else's residence for the past two days?” Rayna asked Curtis.

“No. It seems that this is the only mansion here.” Realization dawned upon Curtis after he heard Rayna's question. “Do you have something in mind?”

“It's just my speculation.” Rayna nodded and told Curtis about her assumption. “If Fernando's godfather is really doing research, then is it possible that they know there is something in this courtyard that is capable of making the Serekos transform into something different?”

That was the only possibility. Otherwise, she thought it made no sense for them to sneakily unleash the Serekos into the Gilroy residence twice within two days.

“And how did they release so many Serekos at once? It takes time,” Rayna added, considering Curtis had gone out not long after Cassidy and the rest left, and he was only away for twenty minutes.

It was quite difficult for them to release so many Serekos in twenty minutes without attracting attention.
