A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 324

A few days ago, the Pitts suspected that Dylan was referring to Demi's incident, but they later dismissed the idea. Now, with Lionel saying this, they once again felt it had something to do with Demi.

But Demi was clearly alive and well. How could they have caused her death?

Plus, she didn't even have a single injury!

Stephen was slightly stunned before quickly asking, "Lionel, can you tell who's the person they… uh… caused… to die? And what's their relationship with us?"

"That, I can't tell. I'm not a god who can deduce past events. You need to think carefully for yourselves," Lionel replied.

Stephen pondered for a moment, then instinctively glanced at Robert before speaking. "Lionel, some time ago…"

Stephen recounted the car accident but deliberately omitted Demi's name and their relationship, referring to her only as "that girl".

"But that girl didn't die, nor was she injured. Lionel, is it possible that she passed out at the time or briefly lost vital signs before being revived? Would that still count as us causing someone's death?" Stephen frowned at Lionel.

Lionel thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm… that depends on your true intentions. If you deliberately locked the girl in the car…"

"We didn't!" Michelle shook her head vehemently.

Thomas also shook his head firmly.

"Let me finish. If you deliberately locked the girl in the car, then even if she is unharmed, you still bear the sin. But if it were purely accidental, even if the girl had died because of it, your sins would not be as severe," Lionel continued.

"We really didn't!" Michelle pleaded earnestly.

Lionel remained serious. "Since you invited me here to solve your problem, I'll be completely honest with you."

Stephen quickly searched for Demi's photo on his phone and handed it to Lionel.

At that moment, he hesitated—maybe it was his conscience pricking him, or maybe he was afraid of offending Lionel. He added, "Be careful. Last time Dylan looked at her photo, for some unknown reason, he suddenly coughed up blood."

"Oh?" Lionel raised an eyebrow in surprise and carefully looked at the girl on the screen.

However, as soon as he tried to focus, it was as if a mist had clouded his vision—he couldn't even make out Demi's facial features.

Lionel immediately handed the phone back to Stephen and shook his head. "Sorry, but my skills are inadequate. I can't see anything."

"Lionel, she's just an ordinary girl. Why can't both you and Dylan get a read on her? Would you be able to see something if you met her in person?" Stephen frowned.
