Chapter 868 Bury The Corpse
Sylvia''s POV:
I tried to smash and scrape the corpse with a knife, and burn it with fire. But no matter what I did, I
couldn''tpletely destroy it.
Noreen''s eyeballs were left on the ground. When I was about to ignite them with a torch, they
disintegrated into a fine white powder and vanished into thin air.
My lips scrunched together as I stared at the corpse, growing increasingly uneasy. A foreboding
future was predestined for Noreen. Even her demise was also shrouded in mystery.
"Sylvia, what''s wrong? Is there any problem?" Laura gave me a puzzled look.
"I''m afraid Noreen is still alive. She is a cunning and shrewd witch. My mother came very close to
killing her before, but she still managed toe back to life in some way."
Upon hearing what I said, an evident hint of worry and concern shed on Laura''s face. "Then what
should we do? It''s really unusual that we can''t destroy her corpse."
"Perhaps Noreen''s witchcraft would turn her into an indestructible corpse. The only thing I''m worried
about now is the possibility of hering back to life."
Noreen had always been cunning. There was little way to know for sure that she wouldn''t use some
other form of witchcraft to revive herself.
But one thing was for sure—the dagger on the chest of the corpse could restrain Noreen.
There was no way for her toe back to life as long as we didn''t pull out the dagger.
"I don''t think Noreen can revive herself. If she really has the power to do so, I''m afraid that she
would have already led the ck witch race to stir chaos everywhere. Don''t worry too much about it.
Let''s discuss it when something really happens in the future," Laura persuaded.
I nodded in agreement. "That''s the only option we have. For now, let''s figure out what to do with her
corpse." Since fire can''t destroy it, we have to bury it."
"Why not just dump it in the ocean?" Laura suggested.
While I did consider other options, I ultimately decided that Noreen''s burial in the forbidden forest
was the best solution. "The forbidden forest is a dangerous ce with various monsters and evil
spirits. It''s a good idea to bury her here. Not only that, but the entire year round, elite soldiers patrol
the perimeter of this forest. When something unusual happens, we can easily find out about it. But
we had to guarantee that no one would ever be able to go near here again, let alone pull out the
dagger from her chest. My mother fashioned this dagger by hand just for dealing with Noreen. I
think our efforts have paid off. We can''t remove this dagger because it''s Noreen''s worst enemy."
Laura replied solemnly, "Don''t worry. I will make sure no one wille here without my permission.
Those who disobey my order will be sentenced to death."
It was not until then that I felt relieved. "Now let''s find a ce to bury the corpse."
I didn''t bring a shovel since I assumed the body would be burned and there wouldn''t be any need to
dig a grave. So we had no choice but to dig a hole with just our bare hands.
And because I was pregnant, it was a little ufortable for me to squat for a very long time. I had
to take a rest after an extensive time of exerting too much effort.
Laura felt sorry for me and asked me to sit aside, saying that she could do the work by herself.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
She transformed into a beautiful silver wolf and dug a trench with her forelimbs at a breakneck
pace.
It was a sunny day today. The heat had softened the soil, making it loose and easier to dig a hole on
the ground.
After some time, Laura had dug a holerge enough to bury the body in.
With one hand, I picked up the corpse and tossed it into the pit. Laura didn''t linger as she strewed
sand over the dead body.
After we were done, I sat on a stone and wiped Laura''s ws with a clean handkerchief.
Laura, who had turned into a wolf, still looked noble and proud. She narrowed her eyes, raised her
paw beautifully, and seemed to appreciate the service I was providing.
"Well, it''s time to prepare thest scene of this show," I stood up and said.
