### Summary
The chapter reveals the horrifying truth behind the Speràdo family's power, sparking intense reader speculation and disgust. The central theory emerging from the community is that the family's magic is divided: "golden children" like Ellie receive a power of 8, while sacrificed "silver-haired children" possess a "power of 2." Readers believe that this "2" was never truly lost but instead accumulated in the ritual fire with each sacrifice over the last thousand years. Leslie, by surviving the fire, has inherited this immense, stockpiled power, making her uniquely formidable. This understanding is mirrored by the villainous Marquis Speràdo, who, to the audience's dismay, intelligently deduces the secret. His discovery shifts his goal from eliminating Leslie to exploiting her, with readers expressing revulsion at his plans to use his daughter as a weapon or a "surrogate." The spirits of the past sacrificed children communicate with Leslie, but their messages are not of revenge, but desperate pleas for her to "run away" and "live." With the Marquis now aware of her true value, Leslie's mandatory one-month return to her abusive home has become a trap, leaving readers in a state of extreme anxiety for her safety.
