Chapter 618 An Eye for an Eye
Atwater had taught Wynter that letting the spirits sway her emotions was the most important thing to avoid in the Earthbound Formulation.
These entities within the formation belonged to the past and couldn’t be changed.
Breaking the formation required one to be compassionate. However, Wynter lacked the generosity to show compassion to the Foplyans. Her gaze remained fixed on the syringes laid out on the trolley.
Meanwhile, the Foplyans laughed heartily, oblivious to the imminent danger.
Wynter walked to a corner of the laboratory and released the twins. “An eye for an eye,” she uttered.
Moments later, the Foplyans who had just apprehended Lily felt a sudden chill around his neck. It was as if someone was breathing down on him.
He asked his colleague, “Do you find the wind rather strong today?”
“No,” the person replied while gripping his hand. He seemed unaware of his diminishing strength.
Suddenly, one of them reached out. “Hold on. What’s this?”
Blood? How could there be blood?
The trio froze, their faces drained of color.
A weak voice echoed from above, “I’m in pain. Mister, did you see my hand?”
Beads of sweat formed on the trio’s foreheads as they recalled dissecting the children for experiments
The dead foolish children must be back to exact their revenge. That must be it!
“Did you hear that?” One of them grabbed Wynter and pulled her close. “Did you hear that creepy sound?”
Wynter appeared puzzled. “Creepy sound? Was it the water dripping?”
The researcher’s face turned even paler. He nervously scanned his surroundings as his legs trembled.
Without warning, another researcher kicked the cart and bellowed, “Come, then, you brats! We killed you
once, and we can do it again!”
Their haughty attitudes revealed an absence of remorse.
While demons in hell were terrifying, the Foplyans” malicious behaviors showed they were worse than any
infernal creatures.
Wynter lifted her gaze and signaled for the twins to continue.
This time, they forced the researcher to harm himself. Not only did he slap himself, but he also administered the drug from the trolley into his thigh.
Several of the researchers realized something eerie was going on. When they attempted to flee, they found the laboratory door locked.

This was reminiscent of the moments when they imprisoned the children and relished their despair. Now,
their roles were reserved.
The Foplyans‘ desperate attempts to kick down the door proved futile.
“How could these spirits escape? Didn’t the emperor say that the spirits would not come out if the master.
was around?
Master? Wynter grasped a crucial detail. Ever since entering the Earthbound Formation, she found it odd that the nearer they were to the heart of the formation, the lesser the resentment.
If the red shoe’s owner was the formation’s master, why didn’t the formation break after the resentment
was alleviated?
Wynter hadn’t experienced this in the previous two formations. However, upon entering this one, she realized someone was using the Earthbound Formation to influence the present.
The formation aimed to sever the Quinnell family’s generations–long fortune in national trading. Wynter developed this hypothesis when she first met Gordon.
However, after entering the consulate, she wondered where the missing children’s spirits had gone.. Whether living or dead, there should have been some traces left behind. Yet, Wynter couldn’t find any
clues.
Wynter had no leads earlier, but now she did. Everything seemed connected to the “master” mentioned by
the Foplyans.
If Wolf were here, he could have sniffed out the culprit. But now, Wynter could only rely on her
assessment.
She mentally reviewed everyone she had encountered. No one had shown any signs of resentment. Leo and the twins would have sensed it if it had been present.
Perhaps, there was something unique about this situation.
