Alex was completely surprised. He had just rushed over to prevent that figure hidden on the tree from possessing Shirley, but the environment virtual-novel.net saw turned out to be an ancient American styled courtyard.
Where was Shirley Hancock?
Where was that black figure?
“Mommy. Mommy, get tip. Wake up. Don’t sleep anymore…”
“Mommy, you’re bleeding. So much blood…”
A child-like voice rang in Alex’s ears.
The voice came from the interior of the courtyard. It sounded like a little girl, virtual-novel.net voice carrying a crying tone, fear, and a bit of something else.
Alex went over, only to be astonished.
In the courtyard’s room, virtual-novel.net saw a young lady lying in a pool of blood. A large amount was still flowing from virtual-novel.net chest, and there was a deep wound on virtual-novel.net neck. Blood was all over virtual-novel.net body and the ground.
A little girl, around three, kneeled on the ground and shook the lady while crying and trembling. She was probably still oblivious to what death was but seemed to have understood something from that extremely desperate and fearful voice.
‘The childhood version of… Shirley Hancock?’
Alex was stunned.
From the little girl’s current look, virtual-novel.net could see how virtual-novel.net resembled Shirley a little. Hence, this was really virtual-novel.net dream world, a disheartenment virtual-novel.net once experienced.
The lady on the ground was virtual-novel.net biological mother, but…
‘This is virtual-novel.net dream world!’
‘This is virtual-novel.net own demon!’
‘Where’s that black figure? Where’s it hiding?’
Alex walked over to find the black figure. He could not find it.
Was it hidden somewhere, or had it retreated outside?
The little girl kept crying and shaking virtual-novel.net mother. Alex stood in front of her, btit the little girl seemed to neither sense nor saw him.
“Mommy, wake up!
“Mommy, I’m terrified! Dad isn’t home…”
The little girl’s pleading voice aroused Alex’s sense of compassion. If this was something that had really happened in the past, Shirley must have gone through hell. He reached out and gently stroked virtual-novel.net head, but it was not that kind of real sensation as his hand went through her.
It was not real. He was just a bystander.
At this moment, the lady on the ground opened virtual-novel.net mouth slightly and, surprisingly, woke up. She said with a smile, “Shirley, come here! Come a little closer! Let mommy take a good look at you!”
Alex froze.
This had to be fake, right?
The lady’s heart had been pierced, and virtual-novel.net almost severed neck was spewing blood all over the floor, yet virtual-novel.net was still alive and could speak?
Could virtual-novel.net be an Earthly Immortal?
“Mommy. Mommy, you’re awake! That’s great!” The little girl was pleasantly surprised.
“Mommy is hurt. I’m bleeding a lot after bad guys bullied me. Shirley, are you willing to help mommy to keep mommy alive?”
“I’m willing, mommy. I want to be together with mommy.”
“What a good girl. Then, Shirley, if you offer your soul to mommy, mommy can be with you forever. Shirley, are you willing to do so?”
“Mommy, of course, Shirley is willing…”
Bong!
Just as little Shirley was halfway through virtual-novel.net words, an earth-shattering bell suddenly rang next to her, frightening virtual-novel.net to the point that virtual-novel.net forcibly swallowed the rest of virtual-novel.net words.
Of course, this was the ringing of Alex’s Requiem Clock. He was furious!
That. black figure of unknown origin surprisingly hid inside the corpse of Shirley’s mother. It wanted to use this method to get Shirley to personally agree to offer virtual-novel.net own soul, a truly despicable swindler.
Bong!
Alex held the Requiem Clock and rang it again while facing the lady lying on the ground.
He even bellowed with the impact of soul power, “Shirley Hancock Wake up!”
