The talisman burned out. When the incense stick was finished, all the parasite worms had been removed and were rolling in the soil. Amelia threw a few fireb.a.l.l.s, and a stench filled the air. The parasite worms let out screams. Soon, they turned into ashes and died completely.
Lucas: Amazing!
William: His sister was too impressive, awesome!
Elmer was speechless. Wait, he hadn’t taught her any of this. How had Mia learned it?
Elmer was shocked. He hurriedly summoned the booklet and rummaged through it like an exam student who had to cram.
As the “shackles” on her body were removed, Ling’s stiff arm fell limply, but she still stood upright in the coffin, staring straight at William. When William moved, her eyes rolled. Wherever William walked, her neck twisted stiffly.
William was no longer the baby he used to be. Ling seemed to be confirming it over and over again.
Lucas said, “Let’s go back first.”
Upon hearing Lucas’s words, Ling moved her eyes again and stared at Lucas. Lucas felt a little uncomfortable. Even if the woman in front of him was very likely his mother, he was much calmer than William. He could not help but think of how she had raised her arm and jumped in the coffin just now. He felt that she was still a zombie
Amelia happened to ask, “Master, is Eldest Aunt still a zombie?”
Elmer shook his head and said after a moment of silence, “She’s the living dead now.” She could no longer be considered human. He sighed in his heart. The happily ever after of saving Ling and letting her reunite with George, William, and Lucas did not exist.
“Would I be scared to approach just because she’s a zombie?” William said softly. He gathered his courage and stepped forward. His arm was slowly raised. He approached tentatively. Finally, he grabbed one of Ling’s fingers.
Ling’s neck was still stiff. When she lowered her head, there was a cracking sound. She stared straight at her captured finger. There was a trace of splendor in her eyes, but it quickly turned into confusion.
“Mom ” William called out softly. Although he did not test her again, he had a feeling that she was indeed his mother. Moreover, William could no longer hate her. The hatred he had for her previously when he wanted to ask her why she abandoned him and his brother had long dissipated. The moment he grabbed her finger, he felt as if something was stuck in his heart. It was so heavy that he could not breathe.
William felt a lump of cotton in his throat. He choked. “Mom ”
Ling didn’t react. She continued to stare at William’s hand as he grabbed her. William wiped his tears and blossomed into a smile. “Let’s go home, okay?”
Ling finally looked away and continued to stare straight at William.
Lucas couldn’t help but step forward and say, “Let’s go. This place is in danger of collapse. We can’t stay for long.” After saying that, he looked at Ling hesitantly. Then, without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Ling stood rooted to the ground and did not move. William pulled her and realized that he could not move her. He felt like he was pulling a weight of 500 kilograms
William was stunned and asked, “Mia, can’t my mother walk by herself?”
Amelia squatted in front of the incense stick that had been burned. She pulled out the ashes inside to confirm if there were any more bugs. After all, her master had said that this bug was very dangerous. Seeing a pa.s.sing caterpillar struggling to crawl, Amelia stuck a talisman on it. Before the caterpillar could react, it turned to dust.
Elmer’s mouth twitched. It was just an ordinary caterpillar!
After confirming that there were no living bugs, Amelia came back to her senses and looked up.
Lucas: His sister’s reflex arc. Had she been infected by Harper?
William paused and asked again, “I said, my mother can she walk on her own?”
Amelia looked up at Ling. The coffin was quite deep. At this moment, she was standing motionless in the coffin, her gaze about the same level as William’s.
“Maybe she didn’t hear you.” Amelia thought for a moment. “Master said that the living dead aren’t zombies. Eldest Aunt can climb up on her own, but she might not know that she can climb up.”
William nodded. So that was the case. He patiently held Ling’s hand as if he was coaxing a child. He said softly, “Crawl Crawl out of here. Can you hear me?”
