Chapter 147: The Story
After Thomson was arrested, the police knocked on Sophia’s door, intending to ask whether she had any quarrels or conflicts with him, and why he had targeted her and Edward. But when the door opened, the house was in complete disarray, and Sophia’s neck was covered in bruises.
Because her throat had been injured, Sophia was temporarily unable to speak.
The officers wanted to take her to the hospital for treatment, but she refused. Pushing past the crowd around her, she found The Book of Death. Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, she entered the restroom and, with trembling hands, opened it—only to find that the book now contained just two chapters.
The first chapter was “Sophia,” and the second was “Thomson.” The prophecy concerning Thomson had changed once again.
This time, his lifespan had been extended to 65 years old—yet in the winter of his sixty-fifth year, he would die in prison, after suffering abuse from the prison boss, his old injuries flaring up, combined with long-term malnutrition.
“Wuu…”
Seeing this chapter, Sophia could no longer hold back and let out a whimper like a wounded young animal.
She was wrong—truly wrong… She should have followed Rebecca’s warning from the beginning and sealed the book away properly, never letting anyone see it!
The power of The Book of Death was simply too great. Even the police might not be able to resist the temptation of “knowing the time of death and stealing life.” Therefore, when the police questioned Sophia about Thomson’s motive for killing, she lied.
