Chapter 622
Spoiled (Lily)
Lilly and Blake continued to search for their trace. Lilly asked, âDaddy, is there any possibility that they ran in the other direction?â Blake shook his head and said, âItâs unlikely.â He had never made a mistake in tracking people down; this must be the correct way. Just as he thought, he found traces of footsteps at the other end of the vegetable field. âOver here.â Lilly hurried over. As she ran, the three âaccessoriesâ clinched to her had to run too. The camera was focused in Blakeâs direction.
Blake was tall; most of the time, the camera was only pointed at his back. With him squatting down, the side of his face could be seen. He was panting at the grass and explained to Lilly, âThereâs only a deep footstep here; the grass before this area was merely crushed a little. Yet, the grass here was all crumbled.â He could almost see how the team frightenedly ran toward the vegetable field, but they were somewhat hung up and threw to this side. They dropped from the sky and landed here.
He sneered, âIs this what theyâre made of? Timid and useless?â He was the one who picked and formed this team. They used to do their training in an abandoned building. This was a secretive team; it was not known to an outsider. A mere minority of the selected people knew about them.
Lilly came closer to him and asked, âDaddy, arenât you worried?â He answered, âIâm calm as long as you are.â
Blake was mentioning that they had to find them as soon as possible, but in fact, he was not worried a bit. Because Lilly would have known if something were to happen to Colton. Lilly would always warn him when danger approached someone close to her. As long as she was calm, everything would still be under control.
Lilly did not know her father treated her as an alarm, and indeed, she did not predict Coltonâs life-
threatening danger. Blake could not care less if they were being terrified.
Josh gulped and asked, âSo, how did they fly?â The three little âaccessoriesâ looked at each other. The viewers in the livestream were picnicking too.
âAre they looking for someone?â
âIâve never thought that thereâs something scarier than seeing the spirits!â
âAhhh! Itâs always the scariest when you donât know the truth! Iâm clinging to my mother now!â
âSo whatâs happening? Are their teammates missing?â
âYes, it seems like theyâre searching for someone. but they didnât manage to. Based on their observation, the missing people were lifted midair and dropped to the other side of the vegetable field.â
âMy god, I donât dare to look anymore. Whatâs behind the vegetable field?â
There was an empty field behind it, and there were a lot of empty jars. The huge ones could even fit a human. The abandoned vegetable field surrounded by the jars looked eerie. Hannah exclaimed, âWhat are these jars?â Lilly answered, âErm, for fermenting the vegetables?â Josh gulped and said, âThese jars⦠they canât fit people, can they?â Suddenly, there was a sharp noise; a jar was hit. Joshâs hands trembled, and he filmed in that direction. There was an old lady standing behind a jar. She was grabbing something black and shoving it down into the jar. They had a closer look and realized it was a humanâs head. Josh and the viewers froze.
Seeing them, the old lady laughed, grinned, and asked, âYou all arenât locals, right? Please come to my house and have some fermented vegetables with meat.â The children were all dumbstruck. This cameraâ¦is it real? And Lilly replied, âItâs okay, old lady; I donât like to eat this dish. We like to eat something else.â The old lady stared at Lilly. Everyone in the livestream went berserk.
âF*ck! What is she talking about? Why is she discussing food with a ghost?â
âWaa⦠Iâm scared! What was the old lady pressing down on just now? Was it the hair that Iâve seen?â
âHey⦠âThe moment the camera moved past it, I saw that it was a head.â
Blake stared at the jar and asked, âOld lady, what are you pressing?â She pulled her sleeves up and answered, âIngredients for the fermented vegetables!â She continued to say, âMy son and daughter-in-
law went away to work. Every new year, they enjoyed eating my cooking.â
