Chapter 385 Uncle Bryson Is Shedding?
Lilly went over to the table and picked up the ss. Then, she slowly sipped on the drink.
Bryson was instantly reminded of Jean as he looked at the little girl enjoying her drink.
He sat on the nearby chair and asked in a slightly hesitant voice, "Lilly, are there many ghosts in our
world?"
I still remember seeing Jean, my dead little sister, on the 14th of July. She said a few things to me that
night. After a while, she vanished before my eyes…
After that encounter, I even spent several days going through books about ghosts and the afterlife. I
was willing to use any means if it meant I could get to see Jean again.
However, that was the only time I got to meet her. As time went on, what happened on the 14th of July
seemed more and more like a wishful dream to me.
That is until today… After the incident at the amusement park, I couldn''t help but think about that day
again.
Lilly replied, "There are as many ghosts as we have humans on Earth. However, there aren''t that many
ghosts in the realm of the living."
Bryson said, "Then, is it possible to find a person who''s died and has been reincarnated?"
Lilly took another sip and slowly shook her head. "That''s like looking for a needle in a haystack! Master
has said that something like that is impossible since there are so many people living in our world."
Bryson couldn''t help but feel slightly disappointed upon hearing that answer. He sat there with his head
lowered. Part of his face was hidden in the shadows.
Lilly noticed something odd with Bryson''s expression. She calmly finished her juice and gently ced
the ss down on the table.
There was a long, deafening silence in the room.
Polly turned its gaze toward Lilly. It had a puzzled look in its eyes.
Suddenly, Lilly reached out an arm and grabbed Bryson by the throat. She dered in a stern voice,
"Gotcha!"
Polly was so surprised by Lilly''s sudden movements that it quickly flew to a far corner of the room.
"Caw! That scared the life out of me!" Polly pped its wings frantically.
Bryson waspletely bbergasted. He could feel Lilly''s firm grip on his neck. "Lilly, what''s the
matter?"
I was so absorbed in my own thoughts just now. By the way, why is Lilly grabbing my throat so tightly
all of a sudden?
Lilly appeared to be focusing all of her concentration on Bryson''s neck. She moved her hand slightly
and used all her strength to pull something away from Bryson''s skin.
She tried to offer Bryson reassurance. "Don''t worry, Uncle Bryson. This won''t hurt! I''ll get it out very
quickly!"
Bryson was in a state of utter confusion.
Wait… Is there another ghost with us now?! Did… Did it happen to stick to me?!
Suddenly, Bryson felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. The pain was so unbearable that Bryson
thought that he might pass out if it had gotten any worse.
I thought you said that this wouldn''t hurt, Lilly?!
Bryson balled his fists as he tried to bear with the pain.
As ke opened the door, he could see Lilly holding Bryson''s shoulder with one hand, and she was
using her other hand to pull something off Bryson''s neck. It almost seemed like Lilly was trying to pull
off his skin.
Some might even think that Bryson was shedding his skin like a reptile would if they were to see this…
ke''s eyes bulged in surprise. Then, he swiftly shut the door behind him and hurried over to Lilly''s
side to help her hold down Bryson.
"Did you bring a ghost back with you from the haunted house?" ke asked in a hushed voice.
When she spotted ke, Lilly quickly asked for his help, "Daddy, you… you should step on Uncle
Bryson to hold him still!"
ke responded right away, "Sure!"
Then, he moved Bryson onto the floor and stepped on thetter''s back firmly.
Bryson had a look of annoyance in his eyes.
Though I can''t move, I can still hear you guys loud and clear! Isn''t this a bit too much?!
At the same time, Lilly had dragged almost all of the weird form attached to Bryson''s neck at that point.
As she mustered more strength from her body, the skin-like form was finally removed from Bryson''s
body. Lilly immediately mmed the object against the wall and held it forcefully in ce.
ke had directed all of his attention to Lilly, and he even forgot that he was still stepping on Bryson.
"Can you… move your foot away now?" Bryson said in a croaky voice. His face was pressed against
the floor.
ke quickly removed his foot. "Oh! I''m sorry. Ipletely forgot about you."
Bryson was rendered speechless by his response.
Bryson felt a painful burning sensation on his back, especially around his neck. He felt his thoughts
cleared up significantly as he slowly got to his feet. "What happened just now? Was it… a ghost?"
I did feel a bit tired after returning from the amusement park, but there wasn''t anything that felt too out
of the ordinary up to just now. How did a ghost manage to stick to my body like that?
Lilly shook her head. "It''s not. It''s a paper figure."
Lilly kept her gaze on the skin-like form wriggling under her grasp. Then, she reached into her pocket
and fished out a talisman. As soon as she smacked the talisman over the weird form, it stopped
moving.
Bryson felt goosebumps rise all over his body. "What is that thing?!"
Lilly furrowed her brows.
This is bad.
I didn''t realize that the thing was stuck to Uncle Bryson''s neck all this time.
When we were at the haunted house, I noticed that there was a bad aura surrounding him, and I tried
to get rid of it. Who knew…
Lilly mumbled in a small voice, "I''m still an amateur…"
Why haven''t I thought of the possibility of this happening?
I didn''t see any bad aura around Drake and Josh. Uncle Bryson was the only person who had it. Yet, I
didn''t realize until now…
Lilly seemed displeased as she was upset that she had overlooked the issue.
Bryson tried to console her, "It''s alright. I feel perfectly fine anyway."

On the other hand, ke stared at the skin-like form stuck to the wall and studied it carefully.
"This is a paper figure?"
I''ve learned that these are made from paper. Some would make them in the form of a miniature human.
However, this thing I''m looking at just seems like a huge piece of human skin…
Lilly replied, "It''s a very powerful paper figure, but I''m not quite sure how it''s made."
ke said in a low voice, "It must be pretty difficult for us to keep it in some sort of container securely,
then."
From what I had read about paper figures, we might need a high-grade tool designed specifically for
that purpose…
"Lilly, do you need me to…"
