Chapter 313
He stared at the corpse, chilled to the bone. His girlfriend and his agent had teamed up to kill him. Francis still had nightmares about it, and if he hadn’t been living with Selah and the others, he would have gone mad.
“Hurry up and find someone to draw the portraits,” Terry reacted. Byers reminded them that the recordings could only be saved for half an hour. The other police officers didn’t believe it, but they immediately found someone to pause the siren and sketch everyone's features.
The recording on the screen flickered a few times, then went blank.
Someone whispered, "It's really gone, just like Odalys said."
Another person said, "Odalys is incredible. Not only can she make the body automatically restore the scene before being killed, she can even"
"I didn't believe in superstitions before, but now I'm a little shaken," someone else added. "We should ask the higher-ups to let Odalys join our investigation team!" someone immediately suggested. Before, everyone had been clueless. After she appeared, not only did she restore the murder scene, but she also showed them what the victims looked like. It was the first time they had encountered such a shocking thing.
"I've already submitted the report, and the higher-ups are still hesitating," Lee said. Odalys was very powerful, but he hadn't expected her to be this powerful—a twenty-year-old girl. While her peers were still in school, she had already mastered unimaginable skills.
A police officer came in and said to Lee, "Officer Henry, Mrs. Stewart wants you to talk to her."
Lee was taken aback. He thought Odalys had left, but she was still outside. The other officers listened and subconsciously followed him out. In their minds, Odalys was no longer some variety show idol, but a deity.
As they walked outside, they saw Odalys standing there, looking up at the dark night. Before, he had been weary from the investigation, but now he was full of energy. After she restored everything, he seemed to have found his purpose. "Thank you," he said. "If it weren't for you, this case might never be solved. We couldn't test their DNA, and their faces were all… Now that we know what they look like, it's easy to find out their identities. Plus, the scene where they were killed can be used to deduce the murderer's characteristics. The forensics team should be able to locate the person soon."
Lee looked at her with a mixture of awe and indulgence, as if looking at his own daughter. "Odalys, you're incredibly powerful. I'll try to restrain your unique edge as much as possible, so as not to be targeted. The police will keep it a secret. Not many will know that you intervened in this case," Lee assured her in a low voice.

Odalys listened as she slowly turned to face Lee. Seeing the concern in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile.
"This is for you," Odalys said.
She opened her palm, revealing two flowers tied together with a red string. A gentle breeze blew past, carrying the faint, alluring fragrance of the flowers.
"What is this?" Lee asked, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes as he looked at the flowers she offered him. He hadn't expected her to be giving him flowers. Lee was a straightforward man, clueless about romance. He couldn't understand why she would give him this.
Odalys explained, "They're talismans. I just made them from materials I found here. They may not look like much, but they can last for two months! I've imbued these flowers with talismanic protection. They will stay like this, and once your wife and daughter wear them, they won't be able to take them off. Don't worry about them getting lost or worn out."
"However, these talismans can only be used once and will lose their effectiveness after two months."
Lee, somewhat taken aback, reached out and accepted the two flowers in surprise. Looking at the red string tied to the flowers, he thought they were ordinary flowers, but in his hand, they felt like pendants.
"Two months is enough. Once the case is solved, the danger will be eliminated. I'm just worried that the murderer behind this case is a powerful person who will try to hurt my family during my investigation," Lee's voice choked. He was a tough guy, but when he talked about his family, his heart softened. Only those who had experienced it knew how difficult it was to be a police officer.
"Don't worry. I can see from your star reading that you are a blessed person with children. I believe your wife and children will always be by your side," Odalys said.
She suddenly took Lee's hand and wrote something on his palm with her fingertips, moving quickly as if drawing something in the air. Lee didn't see it clearly. When he came to his senses, Odalys had already withdrawn her hand, and he found a talisman in his palm.
"I'm leaving. I wish you solve this case as soon as possible," Odalys said before walking towards Stellan's car. Lee hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see her off, but the car had already sped away.
It was then he realized, "I forgot that we should pay her for helping us." Lee felt a pang of regret. After all, he didn't have many chances to see Odalys.
As he turned to borrow a car and follow them, he felt an itch in his palm. He spread his hand and saw a cuneiform character written on it. Lee reached out and tried to wipe it off, but the talisman seemed to have grown into his skin.
"Dad, she drew a talisman for me?" Lee choked up again. He looked in the direction Stellan's car had left, his eyes moistening. He knew she had saved his life. When he was in the car, he'd wanted to ask her for a talisman, but seeing her silence, he thought she was unwilling. He didn't expect that she hadn't brought any with her, so she made two for him on the spot.
Thinking of this, Lee felt a mix of emotions.
Freya looked in the rearview mirror and saw Lee running after the car. "Odalys, is Officer Hersey cursed or something?" Freya asked cautiously.

She knew that Odalys was not someone who meddled in other people's business.
