Chapter 931
Spoiled (Lily)
The cabinet was open without any warning in the mortuary. Josh was extremely terrified, and he clung to Blake. There was a dead silence, and there was not any movement from the cabinet except for its opening. Josh thought that a hand or a head might pop out, or the entire corpse might stand up. But nothing happened, which made the wait even scarier. Josh gulped and said, âUn⦠Uncle Blake, can you take a look?â Blake picked Josh up and threw him over. âHow can you be great in the future if youâre this timid now?â Josh thought, Heâs so cruel! The future isnât now; I must be very brave in the future!
He was thrown against the cabinet, and before he could react, he made eye contact with the corpse inside it. There was a tiny corpse in the icy cabinet; her eyes were opened wide, and she was staring right at him. He was extremely terrified, but he did not dare to shout. His cheeks were flustered. He was worried that the corpse would âcatchâ him if he breathed. He held his breath, trying to stand up. But his legs were weak; he lost control and fell into the cabinet. Fu⦠F*ck! His entire body almost touched the corpse, and magically he was calmed. He was still scared, but he managed to have a close look at her.
This body isnât Jannat! Wait, why is she wearing Jannatâs clothes? He was sure that Jannat wore the same clothes as this corpse the morning they met her. So, where is Jannat? She asked us to meet her here, and weâve been here for so long. Weâre even making so much noise, so she should hear us by now.
And Josh realized that he had omitted a very important issue. Why didnât I ask Jannat the exact spot where we were meeting? The hospital mortuary is extremely huge. Why didnât I ask for the exact cabinet? Josh was multitasking at the moment; he was thinking while he tried to climb out of the cabinet. Finally, he managed to step a foot out of the cabinet, and a tiny and cold hand grabbed his elbow! He turned around and saw that the corpse was using him to get up. âSh*t!â He jumped out of the cabinet and stuttered, âOh my⦠oh myâ¦â
Lilly, Pablo, and Blake all had the same thought looking at him: Is he really the future Asmodeus?
Asmodeus has to work at night. Can he really do it?
Lilly tried to cheer herself up. âItâs alright; he still needs some experience.â Blake said, âWhat about we leave and lock him here alone?â Lilly used to fight alone for the entire night back then on Saffron Island.
Pablo said, âOr we can lock him in the cabinet.â Josh was upset. Theyâre not helping me, and theyâre having a conversation now! He was fighting with the tiny corpse in the cabinet. In the beginning, he did not dare to touch her, but he had no choice but to bite her hand and push her away. His shirt was torn, but the hand was still grabbing onto his arm; his arm was bruised by her strong grip. âWhat theâ¦â He said anxiously, âStop grabbing me; stop it!â The corpse suddenly looked at him, and he was losing it.
âWhat do you want?â he asked. âWhereâs Jannat? Why are you wearing her clothes? Who are you?â
The little girl in the cabinet was around five years old, but she was slimmer than Jannat. Her eyes were puffy, and she was moving her lips, but she could not speak. Josh was losing it. Dong! A faint clock sound could be heard from afar; it was already half past 12. The girl suddenly sat up, and her neck was broken all of a sudden, and she fell back in. All of them were at a loss for words.
âSave meâ¦â She grabbed Joshâs arm again and begged, âI donât want to die!â Josh was speechless.
You donât want to die, but you twisted your neck like that! He was frightened by her, and before he could react, she twisted her neck. He was too shocked to be scared now. He hesitantly twisted her neck back into the original position. As he sighed in relief, a little girl came close to him and asked, âHey, what are you doing with Miahâs head?â
