Chapter 110

The Crawford family members looked at Blake with sharp gazes.

Blake’s lips twitched, “You don’t have to say that, little girl.”

Bettany got angrier when she saw Blake admitted to it.

What did he teach Lilly?

She was suspicious that the injuries on Lilly’s forehead were due to Blake teaching her to use the forehead to split the brick.

Bettany looked at Blake from the head to toe.

This “criminal” is too tall. He had a nice posture and black hair with slight curls. He also looked mysterious with his dark eyes.

“Have a seat since you’re here.” Bettany pointed to the sofa.

Gilbert ruffles Lilly’s hair, “Lilly, go and have fun with Josh first. We’ll have a chat with your dad, okay?”

Josh held Lilly’s hand and said, “Come on. I’ll show you something cool!”

“Okay!” Lily answered happily and went off with Josh.

In Lilly’s point of view, her grandparents, uncle, and daddy were nice people. There was nothing she needed to be worried about.

Blake watched her run up the stairs excitedly with a parrot following her. He was just abandoned by his daughter?

Blake looked around and saw Old Mr. Crawford, Old Mrs. Crawford, and the Crawford brothers.

They make Lilly leave because they are going to interrogate him about what happened that year.

It was understandable, Jean was their precious daughter.

If Lilly was taken away by some brat for no reason, he would act more aggressively.

Although Blake sat properly on the sofa, he still looked wild as ever.

“Just ask whatever you wanted to ask.”

Blake was not afraid of the interrogations as he had countless experiences of it.

Josh dragged Lilly to his room and introduced Lilly to his inventions in the past few days.

“Look at this!” Josh excitedly picked up a digital HD video recorder.

Lilly took it and turned it around curiously. “I modified this video recorder. I enhanced the infrared night vision function. It could search for its target using infrared light and form an image from the refracted light…”

Maybe it could photograph a spirit.

“Oh I see,” Lilly said with a blank face. She actually didn’t understand anything at all.

Josh left the video recorder casually on the table. Then, he took out a large and round object that looked like an iron bowl. It was covered with a piece of cloth.

Lilly asked, “Josh, what is this?”

Josh untied the straps and lifted the black cloth. A large iron bowl was revealed.

“After my tireless efforts and calculations, I found out that there is a close relationship between magnetic fields and spirits sightings. It took me days to figure out the closest formula and engraved it here.

Josh explained, “This iron bowl might look normal, but underneath I put two NdFeB magnets. Assumed the magnetic surface density is σ, then…”

Lilly was confused, “Josh, what are you talking about?”

Josh paused for a moment and said, “I think spirits are a specific substance that can interfere with the magnetic field. There’s a regular pattern of the magnetic field in my iron bowl. However, when a spirit is close, it changes the magnetic field ……”

“The needle is set with very small magnetic fluctuations, which means the needle is very sensitive.

Whenever a spirit appears nearby, the needle will rotate quickly until it points to a certain direction…”

Lilly was silent and after she thought for a moment, she asked, “Josh, isn’t it a compass then?”

Josh was speechless.

He was stunned.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

He spent a few days making this. How could there be a prototype in reality?

Lilly comforted Josh, “Josh, you had made a compass! You are very cool!”

Josh was upset.

Lilly added, “Josh, your compass is different. Others have words on it, yours had formulas.”

“Formulas are cooler than words!”

“That’s right!” Josh’s eyes lit up.

The calculations would be more accurate using formulas!

“Josh, what are all these for?” Lilly asked.

Josh turned on his laptop and opened a website.

“I’ve created a website and published two dissertations but I got mocked in the comments.”

Ever since his spirit sightings theories videos were posted on Twitter by the public, a lot of people watched them.

However, those people watched for the jokes and his cuteness.

He must prove that his spirit sightings theory was true.

“Erm…” Lilly was unsure.

“Okay. We’ll test it now,” Josh said.

He took the bowl and walked around.

“I had tested it here. Nothing’s going on because there are no spirits here, right?”

Josh said while smiling, “My detector is cool. It can detect spirits if there’s really one. Lilly, please verify it.”

Lilly could see spirits and there was nothing weird going on in the bowl. His calculations were correct.

Lilly looked out through the window.

There’s a headless female spirit who was holding her head in her arms, staring at Josh.

Josh realized the needle was rotating fast.

“Did I put the magnet backward?” He checked the magnet and was confused.

“Nope, it’s strange. Did something go wrong?”

How come there’s a reaction as soon as Lilly returns? Could it be that Lilly’s magnetic field is different from others?

Josh immediately brought the bowl towards Lilly. The needle was not moving again.

“Strange, is it broken?”

“Forget about it, Josh.”

Josh followed the direction of the needle and made it to the window.

He was immersed in the calculations and results in his mind. He completely forgot the original usage of this iron bowl.

“No, it can’t be calculated. The last step is to verify… Oh, it stopped!”

The needle was pointing in one direction abnormally.

“This is…” Josh said while looking up. He was stunned.
