Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 467 Never Thought To Meet Like This

Josh had imagined many times what meeting his mother for the first time would be like.

He had thought that she would look a mess, working at some shady establishment against. her will.

He had thought that she would look cold and heartless, taking deep drags of her cigarette as she

shooed them away impatiently and claiming she had no sons like them.

He had also thought that upon finding out they were from the Crawford family, she would change her

attitude at once and try to wrangle something out of them…

This was the only situation he had not expected.

How long had she been nailed down like this? Had she been here this entire time?

In the coffin, Lisa’s fingers spasmed from the exertion of pressure.

They jerked to a halt at last, drooping back down.

It was as if she had tried this a billion times, but to no avail….

Disappointed once again, the woman stared straight in front of her, her pupils unblinking and unmoving.

It was a terrifying sight- she did not look like a live human being at all.

Josh asked in a trembling voice, “Is she still alive?”

A voice floated in, “She’s considered alive, but could also be considered dead. She’s undead.”

Pablo floated in from outside, speaking to Lilly first. “Don’t worry. Your father and that Mr. Arthur are

completely fine.”

Arthur was currently wandering around in a fit of panic, looking for everyone else.

As for Blake… there was pretty much no need to worry about him at all…

Lilly stopped worrying at once. “Master, what’s an undead?”

Pablo glanced at Lisa in the coffin. “There’s a type of witch who calls themselves a witch god. They

specialize in this thing called Zombie Powder. Use it on a living person, and they’ll cease to have

consciousness. They’ll be completely stiff and they’ll lose the ability to think. They won’t feel tired, or in

pain when they’re hurt.”

“They’re pretty much like a zombie, unable to die or perish. These witch doctors use them as slaves to

work for them.”

Pablo pointed at Lisa. “This should be the undead powder the Mccarthy family used to turn Lisa into an

undead. There are records from its land of origin in Seabury of people that were turned into undeads

who were able to be brought back to life.”

Lilly was full of hope. “So Aunt Lisa’s still alive?”

Pablo grunted softly, not giving a fixed answer.

These things… were not so clear-cut.

She might still be alive, but might turn out to be a walking corpse even if she was rescued.

Drake gripping the amulet in his hand so hard he practically crushed it, speaking up at last. “Get… get

her out of there first!”

He was also in shock on the inside. He had always been in denial of the fact that he had a mother who

had abandoned him and his brother just like that, up until he got here.

Only to see her nailed down like this, but for him and Josh to not even know what happened back in the

day.

Josh was about to pull her out of the coffin, when Lilly pulled him back. “Don’t go, Josh. Let me do it.”

Just as she was speaking, the pupils of the lady in the coffin spun around and landed on Josh, staring

him down!

Josh’s chest gave a mighty lurch.

What kind of eyes were those?

It looked like a corpse who had been dead for three days lurching back into action all of a sudden, or

like a doll in a cabinet suddenly gaining sentience.

The wooden, pin-straight line of sight definitely sent chills down one’s spine.

Somehow, the woman’s eyes stopped wandering after they landed on Josh. No matter where Josh

went, her pupils would follow him.

Lilly walked towards the coffin, and saw that something was crawling about on her body.

“Master, can I just grab it?” Lilly turned to ask Pablo, unsure.

Pablo said, “That’s a Witchlock Bug, a type of parasite. It’s very evil… it would be best not to just grab it

like that.”

Lilly: Oh. A bug that was best to not just grab… which meant it could still be grabbed.

Pablo looked around him. “The place is full of charms right now. It’s best to destroy them all first for the

nails to be pulled out…”

Lilly: Alright, let’s get the nails!

The kid wrapped her fingers around one of the nails on Lisa’s hips, giving it a mighty yank and

uprooting it in one move!

Pablo:..

The second the nail left Lisa’s body, she jumped and began to struggle and scream!

Creak creak creak… the sound of the nails grinding against her bones grew louder and louder as it was

not just her hands moving this time, but her ribs and hips as well.

“Argh….” Lisa’s pupils had turned red!

She struggled with all her might, her palm raising a few centimeters above where it had been nailed

down as if she might jump right out.

Drake said at once, “Lilly, let’s get out of here!”

He sensed danger!

Drake remembered the Zombie King he had seen from a movie in the past, who was terrifying and

unstoppable!

Yet all that could be seen was Lilly raising a hand and landing it on Lisa’s shoulder with at harsh slap,

pressing the angered ‘zombie’ back down in a flash!

“Behave!” Lilly glowered at the lady. “I’ll rip your teeth out if you keep moving around!”

Drake and Josh: ..
