Old Herera went to the edge of the coffin and pulled out one of the bodies.
There were tears in his eyes.
It felt like a million needles piercing his heart.
If not for his Art of Skeletal Identification, he would not have been able to make out Zainâs corpse. It would have been nearly impossible to tell which corpse his grandson was.
After putting clothes on Zain, he tied the body onto his back with some rope.
A few minutes later, the domed coffin lid began to rise.
Nico sniffed and said with a puzzled look on his face, âThatâs strange⦠It seems like⦠thereâs nothing outside?â
He knew what the Undead Corpse King and deathworms smelled like.
Although there was still a faint smell lingering in the air, it was left over from before.
Nash raised his deep pair of eyes, stared at Nico, and asked, âAre you sure thereâs nothing outside?â
He was ready to fight to the death, but now Nico had told him that the Undead Corpse King was no longer outside.
âIâm positive⦠Iâm sure that the Undead Corpse King and deathworms arenât outside!â Nico said with confidence.
âCould it be that the Undead Corpse King was scared of Mr. Nash and ran away with the deathworms?â Finn grinned as he flattered Nash.
âWeâll see when weâre outside!â
Nash did not dare to relax a single muscle.
âTskâ¦â
Out of nowhere, Derek gasped.
âWho the fuck just grabbed my ass?â he thought.
Out of the corner of his eye, Derek glanced at Melody, who was next to him.
The coffin was very spacious, but to build up everyoneâs confidence, they had all huddled together.
Melody was closest to him.
He believed that it must have been her.
âCould it be that Ms. Mel has fallen for me? Looks like Iâll say goodbye to my single life soon! My mom will be overjoyed if I can bring such a rich and beautiful woman home!â A lewd smile sprawled across Derekâs face as he was immersed in his thoughts.
Nash and Finn noticed that something strange was going on and both looked at Derek.
Melody had just noticed Derek peeking at her. She could not help but frown and ask, âWhy are
you smiling so obscenely?â
âNo⦠Itâs nothingâ¦â
Derek dropped his smile.
He thought that it must be embarrassing for Ms. Mel that Mr. Nash and Finn had noticed because he was careless about his actions.
Suddenly, the hand on his butt grabbed harder.
Derek was already breaking into a cold sweat from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and dared not to make a sound.
âIt mustâve been the incident earlier that made Ms. Mel angry. Itâs a secret affair, after all, I get itâ¦â Derek said to himself.
Melody was increasingly aware that something was wrong
She quickly took a step across toward Nash.
Derek was instantly puzzled.
as wrong with Derek.
âItâs not Ms. Mel? It canât be that mischievous little girl, Heidi, right?â he questioned himself.
He turned to look at Heidi, who was next to him.
However, Heidi gave him a look of disgust and walked over to Melody.
âWhat the hell?â Derek cursed internally.
He glanced to his left and right before turning around to take a look.
Behind him was the inner wall of the bronze coffin.
In order words, there was no one around him.
However, the hand on his butt was still gripping hard.
âOh fuck⦠Help me!â
Derek yelled in panic and swung his arms behind him.
He touched a cold and hairy severed hand.
It was the Undead Corpse Kingâs hand!
Derek turned around and screamed, âHurry! Help meâ¦â
The undead corpseâs hand gripped onto him so tightly like it was trying to dig through him.
Squelch!
The long, slender, and withered fingers pierced through his pants.
Derekâs pupils suddenly shrank as he let out a miserable ery.
He got a free anal exam, paired with excruciating pain.
âThisâ¦â
Melody and the others took a few steps back.
It was the Undead Corpse Kingâs handâ¦
