The three children ran after her out of the cave, finally getting a hold on her with great effort.
Then they flipped her over with great effort as well, making her lie face up.
Lilly was pretty impressed. “Can't she just get to her feet with a cry like just now? What kind of curse had been put on her? Destroying the curse had stopped Aunt Lisa from getting up at the slightest order.
Lilly felt a twinge of pity. After all, no one could just spring into a standing position from lying down just. at a cry.
That was a pretty cool skill to have! At the thought, Lisa sat up with a grunt in one move.
Lilly stopped short, and shook her head.
Sigh-see, the skill wasn't as powerful anymore! She had been able to stand up with a cry, but now she could only sit up.
Lilly could sit up at once when she was lying down, too.
“Let's go, let's go!” Lilly waved a hand. “Let's get out of here!” Lisa stared at Lilly’s flailing hand, seeming to understand.
Get out...
They were leaving.
She began to hop again.
This time, she was facing the wrong way, bouncing backwards in a sitting position.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLilly:....
Josh: ...
Drake: ....
The clothes on her body were about to rip. Lilly could not watch on any longer.
Wouldn't her butt show if she were to go out like that? But Lisa was still an undead, and she did not seem to feel any pain as she reached the exit moving just like that.
A rock scraped her leg, causing her to only bleed a little before it stopped.
Then, unbelievably, it scabbed over...
Drake stared at the blood on the floor. He remembered that when Lilly had forcefully yanked the bugs out of her, her skin had been broken and bleeding.
But all that was left now was just a bloodstain. Her skin had stopped bleeding.
He had thought that it was just because she was too skinny to have much blood, or that zombies didn’t have blood at all....
Only to realize now that it was a miraculous self-healing ability at work! Lilly squatted by the entrance of the cave. “Alright, Aunt Lisa. Can you get up and walk now!” All she wanted was to carry Aunt Lisa back! But Lisa was a lot taller than Lilly was, and carrying her would make her hands and feet drag on the ground.
If she were to be dragged back like that, she might only have her bones and no skin left from the friction. by the time they got back.
Josh and Drake wouldn't let her anyway, saying that Veronica and Steward were still outside. It would be bad if they saw that a little kid like her was able to carry a whole grown-up.
Lilly could only listen to them, struggling to hoist Aunt Lisa upright with Drake and Josh.
Aunt Lisa stood straight as a board. Despite not being a zombie anymore, her sentience had not returned to her for some strange reason.
She continued to hop along still, but not in the stiff, terrifying way that zombies did anymore. She looked. more like she was jumping while running.
She seemed to get a little better once they were out of the cave. Maybe it was because she had gotten used to this ‘method of communication, and was a lot more obedient.
She ran (hopped) when Lilly told her to run.
She turned (twisted her neck and hopped diagonally) when Lilly told her to turn.
Drake and Josh led the way in front, and Lilly followed behind Lisa, all while asking her Master softly if Aunt Lisa would get her sentience back.
Only for her to raise her head and see Aunt Lisa’s bare bottom in front of her.....
“Uhh...” See, she'd said that hopping in a sitting position was a bad idea.
Just then, Drake silently took off his jacket and handed it over to Lilly.
He did not turn around, his expression still cold.
Lilly's heart warmed at the gesture, and she beamed at him. “Thank you, Josh!” She then held the jacket by its sleeves, tying it carelessly around Lisa’s waist to cover her bottom.
“Oh, are those bad guys still there?” Lilly asked.
In the dark forest, the ghost bride had her fingers around Steward's neck as she cried out emotionally, “Queen of hearts! | told you to put down a queen of hearts, you're so dumb!” As she shricked, she swiped at his hair.
Steward now had a bald patch.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt really was bald, glinting under the moonlight.
Veronica was no better.
The harem spirit leaned against a tree, kicking at her impatiently. “Come on! If you don’t win this round, I'm going to rip your teeth out!” Thanks to Lilly's influence, ripping one’s teeth out was all the rage now.
All the spirits and ghosts said now was ripping someone's teeth out. It was going to take a while for the joke to pass.
Veronica put down a card, scared out of her wits....
Veronica and Steward had never thought that they would find themselves in the middle of nowhere. playing poker with a group of spirits! If one person won, the other would lose, and vice versa... but regardless of who lost, a handful of their hair would be yanked out by the spirit.
These malignant spirits were betting on who could go bald first! The unlucky ghost beamed at Veronica excitedly. “She’s going bald first, of course! I'm winning this round. for sure!” The weakling spirit smiled softly. “When have you ever won a bet before?” The unlucky ghost: The foolish ghost said, “I wonder when Lilly and the rest are coming out... it's almost dawn now. Hm, | wonder if their hair will be strong enough.” The harem spirit propped her head up lazily. “What are you so scared of? If we run out of hair, we'll start on their teeth! Let's bet who runs out of teeth first! We won't be bored with these two around, anyways.” The weakling spirit shook her head. “That's too cruel... | suggest starting from their front teeth...” Lilly had told them that there was no need to treat bad guys with courtesy.
They hadn't even killed Veronica and Steward... as malignant spirits, they felt like they had been too kind.
Veronica's expression was nothing but bitter. She had never wished for Josh and the rest to show up sooner.
Steward was angry as well. He was going to make these ghosts pay when the head of the Mccarthy family was out here! This was... an abuse of power! He had never been treated this awfully before, and felt deeply wronged.
Veronica felt as if she quite literally was sitting on pins and needles.
The unlucky ghost had found some prickly vines out of nowhere, and made her sit on them.
Veronica's bottom was feeling an agony like never before.
Just then, she said joyously, “Royal flush! I've won, I've won!” The unlucky ghost glared at her, slapping her square on the check. “You've won nothing.” Veronica clutched at her face. Poor her, getting hit even after winning! The ghost bride chuckled, raising a hand and yanking out another handful of hair off Steward’s head.
“He’s going to be bald soon. I'm going to win!” Steward was going to explode with rage.
The night breeze whipped through the trees, making the top of his head cold and chilly.
These wretched bastards...
All of a sudden, he perked up upon seeing Josh come out! Great, these malignant spirits’ time was up! They wouldn't dare mess with the head of the Mccarthy family, no matter how powerful they were!
