Chapter 138 Cold Feet

• When I walked into the living room, my attention was instantly drawn to the news on the TV. The images on the screen made me confused, and even Mom looked equally shocked.
• “The three members of a group of hypnotizers were apprehended earlier this evening after being caught spying on a family,” the newscaster reported. “They've been accused of kidnapping people worldwide and using devices to erase specific memories from their victims’ families. For more than three years, this group has been capturing teenagers and selling them into trafficking rings. According to sources, they plant memory-altering devices in homes, erasing all traces of the abducted family member. While one of the suspects has confessed, claiming they use special codes to carry out these memory wipes, the other two remain silent. It is still unclear who they’re working for.”
