Chapter 1015: The Fragment

She could read bones. Even without seeing a person's face, she could discern their secrets through the structure of their bones.

Her master once said that Claudia's bone structure was something even he couldn't decipher.

If that were true, Claudia's real age was a mystery-or perhaps there was another possibility.

Claudia might be someone capable of altering her own bone structure.

Regardless of the truth, Tina was confident that if there was anything unusual, she would detect it.

Jared knew Tina's skill in reading bones, but he still hesitated, gripping her wrist tightly and reluctant to let go.

Tina pursed her lips and decided to compromise. "How about this... Uncle, you lift the cloth for me. Just expose one bone-any bone will do."

Only then did Jared grudgingly agree.

But before he lifted the cloth, he made Tina promise not to look.

Standing before the first corpse, Jared uncovered an ankle bone. The flesh there had been gnawed away by beasts, leaving stark white bone exposed.

Tina was used to such sights. Scenes like this no longer fazed her.

Thankfully, her mental resolve overpowered any physical discomfort. She felt no signs of nausea from her pregnancy.

Instead, she was calmer than ever, quickly shifting into work mode.

She focused her gaze on the exposed bone, narrowing her eyes in concentration.

The bone belonged to someone in their thirties. Their body bore the marks of hardship, but not for long-clearly, they had only endured suffering in recent years. A person with little fortune, prone to trouble.

Tina furrowed her brows slightly and withdrew her gaze.

This person's identity was almost certain.

It was Nancy, the woman who had clung to Claudia in the formation, indirectly saving their lives.

Tina shook her head. "She isn't Claudia."

The tacit understanding between her and Jared had long been established. A simple statement from Tina was enough for Jared to grasp her meaning.

They moved to the next corpse. This time, Jared uncovered a hand bone.

Tina only needed a glance before her brows knitted tightly together.

The bones were slender and delicate-clearly belonging to a young girl still in her growth phase.
