Chapter 735 Shady Hospital
Even within the organization, the members considered Ezra the head. No one knew Eloise was the real mastermind.
Eloise thought she could dodge the bullet. Even if caught, she had the excuse of acting under someone’s orders. But with Wynter here, that seemed unlikely.
As someone who excelled in analyzing human behavior and psychology, Wynter had observed that before Ezra spoke, he would always look toward Eloise.
Although Eloise appeared to be an ordinary woman holding a child, and even Kenneth could scold her, she was the least panicked since the incident occurred.
Moreover, while everyone else had spirits on their backs, she did not. She also possessed an object capable of warding off evil, like Ezra’s bracelet. That was why the spirits dared not to approach her.
Wynter reached out and grabbed the red string hanging around Eloise’s neck.
In that instant, Eloise’s face turned pale. She saw a dozen figures standing neatly before her. All of them were children she had once sold.
After Eloise was taken away, Wynter went to another carriage. It would be too conspicuous for her and Dalton to remain in carriage No. 6.
Moreover, Dalton could actually control the spirits. His approach was more efficient than hers as a medium in name.
“Why did you think of using spirits to screen them?”
Most people wouldn’t use such a terrifying method. Wynter felt that something was different about Dalton. He looked like the person she had encountered in Hawford when she was in the formation.

Dalton chuckled. Placing a fist by his lips, he coughed before saying, “It wasn’t me. It was the little guy you left for me. He’s quite clever.”
“Leo?” Wynter raised an eyebrow and looked at the ethereal figure in the air.
Leo looked at Dalton awkwardly. “I’m… Yes, he’s right. I’m quite clever. I came up with the idea.”
He swore that if he said a word against it now, Dalton would definitely make him never find peace in the afterlife.
Wynter didn’t delve into the reason. After all, the necklace she pulled from Eloise’s neck intrigued her
more.
“It’s a Mystic Path’s item.” Wynter toyed with the divine statue pendant. “It seems that anyone can be blessed.”
With that, she put away the pendant. “I need to go get some answers. Can you watch Wolf?”
With so many spirits around, Wynter was concerned that Wolf might swallow them one by one.
Naturally, Dalton agreed. He didn’t want Wynter to inquire further about what those spirits were all about.
After his soul returned, he remembered many things, including her.
The person Wynter wanted to question was brought to the crew compartment.
The train returned to normal. Only the people in carriage No. 6 knew that plainclothes officers had come to arrest the traffickers, but they wouldn’t know about the mercenaries.
