NOVEL WEB Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Chapter 25 You Too
In the backyard of the Grande Funeral Home, there was about a fist-sized piece of land that had obvious signs that it had just recently been dug. Under the soil, there was a sealed glass jar. It used to be a small jar used by Alice to pickle cucumbers, but now it contains a small amount of tied hair and a Soul-Guiding Grass that had been enchanted with a spell.
This is the only thing that Ryan relies on, in the world now, and the Grande Funeral Home had a new member who would not consume food.
Earthbound Spirit means literally, Ryan’s first accidental death tied him in the rugby locker room of Raiput. It can now be guessed that in order to preserve his consciousness and prevent him from becoming a lost soul, his family had been silently protecting his “remains”.
As written on that self-burning oil paper, Ryan had countless questions, but he could not ask. Because he was now tied to the Grande Funeral Home, all he could do was float behind James with his fierce eyes, and attack Detective Rance’s contradicted heart with his own words.
“Yes! Just leave with guilt! Hope you fall asleep peacefully at night! . Detective!” On the dirt road leaving Grande Funeral Home, Ryan reached the limit of his range of activity. He stared at James’ back and yelled wantonly. Anyway, no one could hear him except James.
What can you expect? Ryan is just a boy who has not had time to graduate from high school. In the five stages of grief, he had spent three years in ‘denial ‘, and at the moment, he was in between the ‘anger’ and the ‘bargaining’. James, who did not do anything, was a perfect object to blame.
Benjamin lying on the dome of the warehouse was chewing on a straw of hay. The hungry vampire seemed to be too harsh. After tomorrow, he needs to talk to Zach.
In the afternoon, there was another visitor to the Grande Funeral Home, Lola.
Lola’s dry eyes were a little puffy, and the banshee didn’t know how to comfort her except for preparing healing snacks for her friend. Kyle was forced into the car to [St. John’s Secondary School] this afternoon, but Lola ‘refused’ to say goodbye to her elder brother, so she ran out again.
Lola, who was carrying a plate, had no appetite today. The speed of her family’s actions exceeded her expectations, her fork slowly fiddled with the food in the plate in front of her, but she did not eat a bite.
“Huh! There are even people who care about that kind of person!” Ryan hugged his arms and looked at Lola who looked depressed.
Of course, no one responded to him.
“Kyle should have left Barton by now.” Lola sat on Benjamin’s bed and said dejectedly, “I won’t see him for a year.”
“Perhaps, you can visit him.” Alice tried to console her.
Lola shook her head, “I asked, the visitor must get the permission of the guardian. This is the same as a prison! “Lola was a little angry. It seemed that she had understood the meaning of ‘Boarding School’.
“He should go to prison!” Ryan snorted coldly, “He is not a good person at all!”
“It’s all because of that Connor!” Lola shifted her anger to a different target, “If it weren’t for him, my brother wouldn’t have quit the football team, and nothing would happen afterward! I hope he dies!”
“Huh! Your wish has already come true, are you happy? !” Ryan, who could not be seen by Lola, shook his limbs in front of Lola…
The banshee was a little embarrassed, silently touched a pair of scissors in Benjamin’s drawer, and secretly cut Ryan’s transparent body several times. The earthbound Spirit’s figure flickered and disappeared. Fortunately, Lola kept her head down and didn’t notice Alice’s strange behavior.
“Don’t say that.” Alice sat beside her friend, “You didn’t really mean that.”
Death-heralding banshee is the person who knows most about “telling death” in the world. Although the wayward words of Lola were already true, the banshee did not hope that in the future, her kind friend would feel guilty because of these unintentional wayward words.
Lola leaned on Alice’s shoulder and sighed softly, “I know. I didn’t mean that, but I am really angry.” Lola hugged Alice, thanking her friend for reminding her, “I have been looking for Connor after the game ended yesterday! I think, at least I need to stick up for Kyle! Why does my brother have to go to ‘St. John’, and he becomes a ‘star’! I won’t accept it!”
Alice patted Lola on the back, Lola just had a grievance.
“But that guy is so annoying!” Lola left Alice’s shoulder, “I finally found him at the celebration party. Before I said anything, he pushed me away!”
Alice frowned. Alice seemed to be dangerously close to that event.
“I always knew that Connor was not a good guy!” Lola seemed to be a little relieved in an instant: “Who knows who this guy has offended, I saw a tall and strong man grab him! Hmph! I hope that guy will teach him a lesson…”
“Stop!” Alice nervously stopped her friend from telling her, “That’s enough, Lola!”
Lola was stunned, looking at Alice whose shoulders were trembling slightly: “What’s the matter, Alice?”
“No, nothing…” Alice shook her head, she avoided Lola’s questioning eyes, and stood up, “Lola, please wait here, I need to leave for a minute.”
“What’s wrong?” Lola didn’t know what had happened, and stood up confused, “I’ll go with you.”
“No, no need.” Alice turned her head in a panic, and refused Lola to follow. The banshee held the guardrail on the second floor of the warehouse with one hand, and her long skirt in the other, ran down the stairs anxiously and ran in the direction of Grande Funeral Home.
Benjamin on the dome frowned, thought about it, stood up slowly, and jumped away from the Grande Funeral Home. Why? Because Alice was obviously looking for the vampire, so the werewolf should keep some distance.
But why does she need to look for Zach? Because it is foreseeable that at the latest, tomorrow, Barton’s auto industry tycoon William Hermann will have a big fall out with the Barton police station because of the disappearance of his precious and only son. At that time, Alice’s friend, Lola will realize that her willful anger is the most direct cause of Connor Hermann’s disappearance!
“You!” Ryan’s body, which was still very vague, was floating in front of Lola, who was still wondering, “You saw me being caught! You did not stop him! you! You are also a murderer! you! murderer!”
Alice pushed open the back door of the Grande Funeral Home and ran directly to the basement. She asked the vampire Zach to use hypnotizing eyes to make Lola forget everything she saw so she would not sink into a sense of guilt that didn’t belong to her.
There is a question here, why would the banshee remind others of the death? Because they can’t ignore what they see, that kind of guilty feeling is unbearable. No sixteen-year-old girl should face such a sense of guilt.
The phone in Zach’s office rang.
“Grande Funeral Home, we can’t answer the phone right now, please leave a message.”
The cassette of the answering machine began to spin with a click.
“This is the Barton Police Department. We are investigating the disappearance of Connor Hermann. The investigation shows that Lola Barton will be helpful to the case. We know that she is with you, so our police officer is on the way, please cooperate…”
