'Some' magic circles were arranged by Jace's father, which proved that Jace's father had indeed been studying these magic circles before and had achieved research results.

At the same time, this answer also illustrates another problem. Jace's father only completed part of the magic circle, and the rest was completed by others.

Apart from Jess's father, probably only the mysterious man and the research team he hired have this ability and have the information on this project.

Judging from He Ao's analysis of the overall structure of the array, the basic structure of the array that builds the skeleton should have been arranged by Jess's father. These arrays are integrated and have obviously been polished for a long time.

The 'patches' on the wooden box, as well as those magic circles that absorb souls and lives as a price, should have been added by mysterious people.

The level of these parts of the array is not bad, but compared with the main array, there is still a clear gap.

Strictly speaking, in comparison, the technology behind these latter patches is somewhat clumsy.

This brings up a core question: Why doesn't Jace's father, who is more skilled, help the mysterious man complete other parts of the ritual?

He Ao did not ask this question, but the following words of the deputy of Jess's father gave him the answer.

He told 'Jace' to trust his father.

What kind of person is Jess's father?

In Jess's memory, his father was a kind, gentle, not rigid, and helpful person.

His father's character had a great impact on Jace's growth and was one of the important factors in shaping Jace's kind character.

So would such a person arrange a magic circle to sacrifice other people's lives and imprison other people's souls?

Even if these people who were sacrificed were helpless wanderers, no one would care about them if they died in any corner.

Even if the mysterious man has an elite team of lawyers behind him and extensive financial connections, he can reasonably cover up this cruel incident without any consequences.

Even if the mysterious person will pay a huge reward.

He Ao doesn't know what the real situation is.

But the father in Jace's memory would never set up these magic circles.

In fact, Jess's father is not pedantic, and can even be said to be very adaptable, but he always has a clear bottom line when doing things.

The deputy's words just now were to make He Ao trust the father in Jace's memory.

And if the father in Jace's memory is consistent with reality.

Then the core conflict between Jace's father and the mysterious man is revealed.

The research on the magic circle at that time may have encountered some kind of bottleneck. The mysterious man tried to use the method of sacrifice to forcefully push the magic circle, but was resisted and rejected by Jace's father.

In the process, Jess's father may have united some people and formed a confrontation with the mysterious man.

And Jess's father should have a certain personality charm.

After all, the deputy who had been tortured and made into a mutilated soul just now was still willing to help 'Jace', the son of an old friend, even more than ten years later and even when his will was not clear.

In the process, Jess's father should have caused a lot of trouble to the mysterious man, forcing him to be unable to implement the idea of ​​​​sacrifice.

In the end, the mysterious man used an unexpected trick to permanently eliminate Jess's father and built the mental hospital according to his own ideas.

However, this magic circle was not completed in the end, and could only maintain this state of constantly sacrificing lives.

In the past ten years, I don’t know how many bones have been buried under that beautiful garden forever.

Jess's father tried to stop this, but he failed.

He has no force or power. No matter how smart he is, he is just a scholar, a scholar living in a world of order.

He Ao looked away from the vast ruins.

This was the place where Jace's father struggled in the last days of his life, and it was also the place where Jace's father's life was left forever.

He may have seen his final fate, but he did not retreat.

He Ao turned around and walked into the alley.

And gently closed the door.

The blooming ghost flower swayed in the wind under the silent night.

——

"No one was caught? The building collapsed? All the patients and staff were rescued? They were driven by evil spirits and left the building before it collapsed? A nurse is missing? Okay, okay, it's okay, I'm sorry to bother you.

"

In front of the villa swimming pool under the moonlight, a man in casual clothes hung up the phone. He turned around and looked at the figure sitting on the edge of the swimming pool, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, "Boss, the target has escaped again."

"Are all the patients in the hospital alive?"

The figure did not look back, but asked calmly.

His voice was flat and ordinary, without any characteristics.

"They are all alive, but the 'nurse' we sent to manage the hospital is missing."

The man in casual clothes said softly.

"All alive..."

The figure in front of the swimming pool stared at the bright moon and murmured to himself.

"Boss, what's the problem?"

The man in casual clothes asked doubtfully.

"In fact, there are some methods in this world that can allow the soul of a high-ranking existence to descend into another body and control this body."

The boss lowered his head and stared at the surface of the swimming pool.

The bright moon in the water ripples in the sparkling waves.

"You mean, Jace is dead?" The man in casual clothes was stunned, "The person controlling Jace now is some powerful high-ranking being?"

"That's what I thought before,"

The figure stood up slowly. He turned around and looked at the man in casual clothes, "But now I don't think so."

The man in casual clothes looked at the face that was extremely familiar but had never appeared in his memory. He was a little dull and said, "Do you think Jace has not changed? But he clearly showed completely different methods from before."

"Pollution and frustration can change a person's character,"

The figure looked up at Mingyue again, "He must have held some kind of ceremony in that alley, gained some kind of power, and suffered the contamination of that power. Unfortunately, I still don't know what to do with him."

Who is the great being who is doing the transaction?"

A violent sound rose into the sky, it was fireworks released from a shopping mall not far away.

——

Click——

He Ao, who was sitting on the bus, closed the pendant in his hand and turned to look out the window.

Under the quiet night sky, flickering fireworks slowly flew into the sky and exploded into brilliant fireworks in the night sky.
