141 KEEP AN EYE ON HER PART 9 (1/2)
”Aren't you surprised that you didn't notice it right at the moment the seal was broken?” Osiris asked him.
High Priest Wei WenYing was nervous. His palms started to sweat. ”Holy Priest, I was surprised. Last time, I noticed the seal was broken right after my father noticed. However, this time it's different. No one realized that the seal was broken before a young priest's scream. He didn't notice either but only got aware of the breakage after seeing it with his very own eyes.”
Osiris calmly gazed at him. ”If that's true, then you should know what's going on.”
High Priest Wei WenYing's eyes widened. ”Holy Priest, I thought about the reason but it's impossible. How can there be a traitor among us.”
Osiris mixed lime juice in the tea. Afterward, he closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the ginger tea. ”If the seal wasn't broken by the evil force as everyone thought, then it was broken by a priest. Isn't it the obvious answer?”
High Priest Wei WenYing protested, ”But, Holy Priest, my people are all pure-hearted. There is no one who can betray us. If there were some devil worshipers, we would have known from the very beginning!”
Osiris sipped the tea and put down the empty cup. ”Let's get real here. If the seal was broken by the evil spirit, we would have known even before anyone could scream. However, it didn't happen that way, did it? If the seal was broken by a human, only then there was a chance that the evil spirit was forcefully brought out.”
”That…”
Osiris narrowed his eyes. ”You said three priests were guarding the temple. One of them screamed and what about the other two?”
High Priest Wei WenYing answered, ”They lost consciousness before it happened and they didn't know why. We came to the conclusion that since they were closer to the seal, they fainted because of the evil spirit's power. The other one was outside the temple, so he screamed and didn't faint.”
”And, you believed in such an obvious lie…” Osiris rubbed his temples. 'One of those two was lying. The temple cannot have an evil presence. I have to find them as soon as possible.' He stood up and said, ”Gather all the priests in front of the temple. Tell them they have to be purified. Also, I want to see the seal that was broken.”
”It's inside the temple.” High Priest Wei WenYing hurriedly stood up. He couldn't sit when Holy Priest was standing.
”All right. Go now. I want every single priest to be present in ten minutes.” Osiris gracefully walked out of the guest room and went to the direction of the temple.
The priests were standing in guard bowed to him with respect. He gave them a slight nod in return. He climbed the stairs, walked inside and opened the door of the room that was at the center of the temple.
The room was circled with candles. In the center of the room, there was a black orb hanging in thin air without any support. Black smoke was moving around it. Four pillars and four seals were around the black orb and a holy rope was tied with the pillars connecting each other.
