Chapter 340


    My eyes were glued to the screen, trying to catch Hazel''s reaction. But in that instant, Evan''s photo


    tumbled down unexpectedly, causing Hazel to flinch instinctively.


    The ce was suddenly swept by an eerie gust, the mes leaping higher, sparks flying in all


    directions.


    The next second, the photo that had fallen stood upright again, as if by magic. The flickering light cast


    Evan''s face in the photo in a ghastly distortion, his pupils unsettling, floating as if alive. Hazel, terrified,


    crashed onto the ground with a chilling scream.


    Farley and Jan also shivered, eyes wide with horror as they stared at the photo.


    Then, in a twist beyond belief, the photo caught fire as it floated away, burning rapidly. The face in the


    photo grinned more grotesquely as the photo, carried by a gust of fiery sparks, flew towards Hazel and


    set her clothes aze with a whoosh.


    The fire in the dark, isted space burned brightly and ominously. The person filming the video


    eximed, "Holy smokes! Her clothes are on fire!"


    Hannah responded sharply, "Quiet!"


    The voice whispered urgently, "It''s lit, you see that?"


    Hazel, sitting on the ground, was screaming continuously, rolling and crawling backwards in a dreadful


    panic. Her cries were bone-chilling.


    It was only then that Jan, previously stunned into inaction, sprang into motion, rushing to his


    mother''s side. But even as Hazel''s screams intensified, he seemed clueless about how to extinguish


    the mes, pacing wildly in desperation.


    Farley was the quicker thinker. He ran over and began stomping on the mes engulfing Hazel''s


    clothes.


    Jan finally snapped out of it, grabbed some grass by the roadside, and started beating the mes on


    his mother, all the while crying out for her.


    Hazel screamed in agony. as she rolled on the ground trying to put out the fire.


    Soon, the fire was out, but Hazely motionless.


    Hannah and I were speechless, staring at the screen, goosebumps prickling our skin, hands rubbing


    our arms in disbelief.


    Hannah kept muttering, "Holy hell... Holy hell..."


    I was too shocked to even close my gaping mouth.


    Jan was shouting for his mother, his voice hoarse and barely recognizable. He tried to lift her, but it


    was impossible.


    Then he roared at Farley, "Dad, help me out! Quick!"


    Farley, as if finally grasping the situation, trembled over and together with Jan, they managed to get


    Hazel into the car. Not even bothering with the still-burning fire, they drove off in haste.


    Hannah burst intoughter, "Karma''s a bitch, isn''t it? Evan''s spirit must be making a statement."


    I nced at her and said, "Cut the crap. It was just the air currents from the fire that set the photo on


    fire. Didn''t you see it was mounted on foam board? That stuff''s mmable."

    I exined with my know-how, "Still, Hazel''s lucky if she doesn''t end up dead or seriously burnt!"


    The person filming it chimed in, "She''s burnt, and it looks bad... They let the kid drown, and now the


    kid''s getting back at them with fire!"


    The person on the screen replied, "Look, the fire''s not out yet."


    The camera panned back to the burning area, the embers still glowing red and spreading.


    "No worries! I didn''t harm that kid, so he wouldn''t hurt me!" the person filming quipped. "I''m off to check


    it out."


    The sounds of the car door closing and his grumbling followed, "Man, how am I supposed to put this


    out? I might as well let it burn itself out."  Dr?мanоvels


    Hannah growled, "Stop dawdling! End it now!" With that, she turned off the video.


    I said to Hannah teasingly, "So... am I supposed to go to the hospital to check on them?"


    I couldn''t resist a wicked chuckle but said nothing more.
