Liliana screamed in agony when she was struck with a blow. Just a minute ago, she had lost one eye, and now she had lost an arm. Her face was stained with oozing blood, forming twisted lines that ran down her neck, soaking her clothes. The red of her attire blended with the red flowing from her eye socket, creating a gruesome sight. However, there was no blood on the ground as if the blood flowed down her chest and stopped, and the severed arm that Jonas had chopped off did not have a drop of blood. It lay motionless on the ground, its once red fingernails turning black, the flesh beneath them pierced by sharp nails one after the other. Liliana was like a tree, and her severed arm was like a dry branch; there was no sap.“Wretched! Wretched! I will kill all of you! Every one of you!” Liliana transformed into a wild beast, howling in a way that was both deafening and terrifying. Even standing in the room, you could hear it from two meters away. She could hardly believe that, just a min
“Run! Hurry!” Jonas yelled with all his might. His hand clutched his stomach tightly. Jonas was the one who understood Liliana’s strength for the best, and now there was no one capable of stopping her. If before, he could engage in a fight with her, prolonging the time for others to escape, or when Liliana still had a bit of affection for the Armstrong family and wasn’t too ruthless. Now, everything had changed. In terms of strength, Jonas was no longer a match for Liliana. He was already concerned for himself, let alone protecting others. Liliana had become even more ruthless, harboring nothing but hatred for the Armstrong family and everyone present; any trace of affection was gone.Hearing this, the villagers rushed to flee. They were afraid, and who wouldn’t be afraid of death? Moreover, Liliana now looked extremely terrifying; just by looking at her, one’s hair would stand on end. They pushed and shoved, trampling on each other to leave the hospital. No one gave way to anyone; th
Karl looked towards Joans, understanding what Jonas wanted to do. Liliana no longer had eyes, relying solely on sound to interpret everything. Just like a moment ago, as soon as the disc fell, she immediately rushed forward without knowing if anyone was there. Unlike Jonas, Liliana couldn’t determine directions as well as he could; everything she did now was purely instinctual.As for Liliana, she waved her hands in disarray where the disc had fallen, but found no one. Undeterred, she searched around, but the result was the same – no one was there. All she encountered were few water bottles, some surgical knives, and empty air.“Damn it, where did you run off to so quickly? You were clearly here a moment ago!” Liliana angrily gritted her teeth. She believed someone was there earlier, and that person had fled before she arrived. Liliana failed to realize that this was just one of Jonas’s tactics.“You can hide, but when I find you, I’ll skin you alive!” Liliana continued to frantically
The footsteps outside grew louder with each passing moment as over a hundred people converged towards the direction of the room. No one expected this situation to unfold; the plan seemed to be going smoothly. Just a little more, and everything would conclude, their victory assured. Liliana had clearly trapped them, and it seemed they could safely escape and then incinerate Liliana in a sea of flames. An elderly man looked up to the sky, tears streaming down—apparently, fate had different plans. It was as if the heavens intended for them to perish here. They could struggle, devise countless schemes against Liliana, but ultimately, how could they overcome destiny? If blame were to be assigned, it could only be attributed to their ill-fated fortune."So, you all are out there!" Liliana smirked, tossing the disc in her hand into a corner before darting out like lightning. This time, Liliana was confident; she wouldn't miss.With only one step left to the door, a large figure lunged forwar
“The flames grew larger and larger in that room, not only with Liliana but also with Karl, a friend and family to him. Jonas desperately lunged forward, but Daisy held him back. Normally fragile, Daisy was now remarkably strong, exerting all her strength to keep him from rushing into the blazing fire. Perhaps Daisy didn’t want everyone’s efforts to go in vain, or she didn’t want Jonas to rush into certain death. The conclusion had come, and in any battle, sacrifices were inevitable. Jonas couldn’t protect everyone; now, all they could do was protect as many as possible.“Jonas, calm down!” Daisy shouted loudly, her hand tightly gripping his, preventing him from plunging into the roaring flames ahead.“Calm down? How can I be calm? Liliana and Karl are in there!” Jonas exclaimed.“Do you think you’re the only one suffering?” Daisy looked straight into Jonas’s eyes, believing he could feel her gaze. How could she not understand Jonas’s emotions right now? Losing a loved one was a feelin
“Everything has ended,” Daisy released the bow in her hand, sighing deeply with pain. Liliana perished in the sea of flames, and no malevolent spirit would haunt the village anymore. Though they were safe from danger, she had lost her sister forever.Countess Armstrong looked at Daisy, then turned her gaze to the blazing fire, understanding her daughter’s agony. It wasn’t just Daisy; everyone in their family felt the pain. The troubles stemmed from her and her husband’s mistakes. If only she hadn’t been swayed by others’ words that year, if Liliana hadn’t become a substitute for Daisy, things might be different. They could have been a happy family with two obedient daughters. Regrettably, life doesn’t offer such bargains; all mistakes come with a price. They lost the beloved daughter, and Liliana lost her life.“If you want to cry, cry out loud!” Countess Armstrong embraced Daisy, her eyes fixed on the blazing fire.“No, I won’t cry! Liliana said she didn’t want to see me cry. Everyth
Jonas and the Armstrong family bid each other farewell, each embarking on their own separate paths. The Armstrong family returned home, while Jonas continued his journey.Holding a walking stick as a guide, Jonas relentlessly moved forward. A new journey awaited him. This path was extremely familiar to Jonas; he had traversed it countless times before. Sometimes alone, other times with Liliana or Karl. This might be the last time he set foot on it. For the rest of his life, perhaps there would be no more encounters.After walking for a while, Jonas felt a distinct presence following him. It wasn’t Daisy or the Armstrong family; besides the sound of footsteps, he heard the tapping of a walking stick on the ground. Jonas easily deduced the identity of the person – someone injured, forced to use a wooden crutch – none other than Etham.Jonas didn’t know Etham’s intentions or why he was following him. However, Jonas cared little about this matter. It was Etham’s own feet; he could go wher
Jonas was furious, storming ahead faster with each step. “Stop following me!” he sternly shouted, but it seemed Etham paid no heed, pretending as if nothing had been said, leisurely trailing Jonas. In this situation, Jonas couldn’t control Etham’s legs; he could go wherever he pleased. However, Jonas had a way to shake off the “mouse” behind him.Jonas kept speeding up on the rugged path, moving like the wind. With this speed, once he covered this stretch, Jonas was sure he could leave Etham behind. On the other hand, Etham fully understood Jonas’s intentions. Despite being handicapped, even a proficient swimmer couldn’t keep up with this pace. Jonas undoubtedly wanted to leave him behind. Yet, things weren’t as easy as Jonas might think!Once Etham followed Jonas, he wouldn’t let this slight difficulty defeat him. Even if he had to crawl on the ground, he would cling to Jonas. Thinking so, Etham increased his pace, disregarding his legs that were continuously bleeding. It felt like h
