’What if an enemy targets him from a blind spot?’
With that concern in mind, Aurora began doing so digging.
Sure enough, she quickly discovered Jacqueline.
However, learning about Jacqueline didn’t imdiately reassure her. Instead, Aurora investigated even deeper.
Only after carefully confirming that Jacqueline’s family had no connection to any mafia groups and absolutely no ties to the mysterious organization Spencer had once ntioned did Aurora finally let out a small sigh of relief.
For a while, everything seed normal again.
Even Aurora gradually relaxed and began believing that nothing would go wrong.
Until Spencer sent her a report.
Seven days later, when Aurora opened the report Spencer had prepared, her eyes widened in shock.
When she had originally ntioned the topic to Spencer, he had asked for so ti to investigate.
Aurora had assud he would need far longer to gather aningful information, so she hadn’t thought about it much afterward.
But now that the report had finally arrived, her curiosity quickly took over.
As she read through the contents, her expression slowly turned grim.
The report described a mysterious organization that secretly operated between the criminal underworld and the legitimate world of wealth and influence.
The group was extrely secretive. Only those standing at the very pinnacle of the wealthy elite seed to know about its existence.
Even with all of Spencer’s resources and investigation thods, he had only managed to gather a faint and fragnted description.
According to the information he uncovered, this organization mainly targeted people who had nothing left, holess individuals filled with despair, people who had lost their purpose in life, and even abandoned orphans who had no one in the world to rely on.
Once they located those people, the pattern beca strangely consistent.
According to the reports, those holess individuals would suddenly disappear for several days. Then, without any warning, they would reappear again.
But when they returned, they were no longer the sa.
Witnesses described them as radiating an entirely different aura. Their posture beca confident, their eyes sharper, their speech clearer.
Even their behavior changed so drastically that it felt as if they had beco completely new people.
Almost like different souls had stepped into their bodies.
When Aurora finished reading the report, she slowly lowered the tablet in her hand.
Her brows knitted tightly. ’This is too strange.’
Her mind imdiately began piecing together possibilities.
Either those holess people had truly been possessed... or sothing else was happening behind the scenes. ’Transmigrators...?’
The thought surfaced quietly in her mind.
Maybe those holess individuals had been chosen as vessels.
Or perhaps this mysterious organization possessed so kind of technology capable of creating that effect.
Aurora leaned back slightly in her chair, staring at the report again.
’Maybe they implanted sothing.’
A chip.
Sothing capable of influencing mory, personality, or even consciousness itself.
The mont that thought ford in her mind, a sharp pain suddenly pierced through her head.
Aurora flinched. Her hand instinctively moved to her temple.
At first, she assud it would fade away. But instead, the pain intensified.
Her vision began to blur slowly, as if a thin fog was spreading across her sight.
’A headache...?’
The room around her began to spin slightly. Her heartbeat grew heavier.
Before she could even react, the world around her faded into darkness. Aurora collapsed into sleep.
...........
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in an endless dark space.
Aurora instinctively looked around.
’So I ca here again...’
Previously, whenever she appeared in this strange place, that mysterious foggy voice would always approach her.
But this ti, things were different. Ti seed to pass slowly. Yet nothing appeared.
Aurora waited for a while before beginning to walk forward.
Her footsteps echoed softly in the darkness.
Eventually, she noticed sothing ahead. A bright portal.
It glowed softly in the endless void, almost like an opening to another world.
Aurora hesitated briefly before stepping through it.
The mont she crossed the portal, a scene appeared before her.
She saw a hospital bed. And on the bed...
Soone was lying there. Aurora looked closer.
Her eyes widened. ’That’s... .’
The girl lying on the bed was Aurora.
But not the Aurora of this world.
This was the Aurora from that other world, the one she had once taken over while she was in a coma.
The realization struck her instantly. ’This is that world again...’
Just as the thought ford, the girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
She sat up and looked around the room.
Then her gaze landed on two figures nearby. Her parents.
Without hesitation, the girl suddenly kicked her father.
Aurora stared in complete shock.
’Wait... what?!’
Her mind struggled to process what she was seeing. ’Isn’t this the sa thing that I did when I had taken over? Am I seeing the mories of when I travelled to that world?’
As soon as that thought appeared, the scene continued moving forward like a flowing mory.
Aurora watched as that other version of herself looked at her stepmother with deep hatred burning in her eyes.
Then she turned around and walked away.
The scenes shifted rapidly.
She saw herself eting Spencer.
She saw how Spencer secretly arranged a safe place for her to stay.
But the more she watched, the more uneasy she felt.
Because the Aurora in that world was nothing like the Aurora she had believed would.
That Aurora was fierce.
Her eyes burned with anger and resentnt.
She looked like soone who had been pushed to the edge of survival.
There was no carefree attitude in her at all.
Instead, she looked like soone constantly fighting against fate.
’Hm... strange. I had taken over that body... and I thought that I was preety scared but carefree at the sa ti.’
Aurora continued watching.
She saw that version of herself desperately struggling against her stepfather.
She saw how that Aurora was repeatedly trampled down by him.
Every mont of her life seed to hang on the edge of danger.
Aurora felt a cold chill run down her spine. Fear slowly crept into her heart.
’This... this is my life in that world?’
The scenes beca even more painful.
One by one, people around that Aurora began to die.
What made Aurora’s heart feel unbearably heavy was that those people looked familiar.
They resembled the people in her current life. One subordinate looked exactly like Olivia.
Another looked like Adriana. Then there was Mary. And Adam.
But in that world, none of them were her family.
They were strangers who had t her along the way and chosen to help her.
Aurora watched helplessly as tragedy unfolded.
Mary died. Adam died. Theodore died. Lucas died. Adriana... Olivia...
One after another. Each death struck her heart like a blade.
The pain beca unbearable.
"I can’t watch this anymore!" she shouted desperately. "Stop! Please stop!"
Tears began pouring from her eyes.
For the first ti in a very long ti, Aurora cried without holding back.
Her shoulders trembled as the cruel reality unfolded before her.
’I don’t want to rember this...’
Just then, a soft voice echoed through the dark space.
"You may not like it... but this is the reality."
Aurora imdiately turned toward the voice. Her eyes widened.
This ti, she finally saw sothing.
A faint figure stood in the distance.
The figure was extrely blurry, almost like a shadow made of mist.
At first, Aurora didn’t understand what was happening.
Then the faint figure spoke again.
"You might not believe this, but this is your first life."
Its voice was gentle but distant.
"In this life, you were born into the daughter of a villainous family."
The figure paused slightly. "But the truth is... you have already died once."
Aurora’s heart skipped a beat.
"Your death in that parallel world... was not a good one."
The figure continued softly. "I cannot show you the ending. But I can tell you this... As your mories unlock, you will rember everything."
Aurora’s eyes widened in disbelief. "W-wait..."
Her voice trembled. "Who are you?"
Her thoughts raced wildly.
’Does that an... I was reborn? Is that why I had the chance to change the fate of the villainous family?’
But another terrifying thought imdiately surfaced.
Her voice beca desperate.
"What about Mary... Adam... Adriana... Olivia... Theodore... Alex...?"
Her breathing grew uneven.
"Did they really die? Did none of them survive?"
The faint figure remained silent for a mont.
Then it spoke gently. "You should not worry too much. Even if you lost them in one life... you have them now."
Aurora stood frozen.
Then the figure continued.
"You were not reborn. I was simply telling you a story. Normally, when humans finish living a life, they forget everything about their past lives. But in this life... sothing unusual happened."
The voice grew softer.
"Because of certain anomalies, you began rembering fragnts of your past life when you fell into a coma."
Aurora slowly began to understand.
Her eyes widened as everything started connecting.
"So when I went into a coma..."
