Chapter 124: Chapter 25 Black Witch
Nearly six o’clock, the sun in the west was already close to the horizon. It seemed that because of the contrast between the buildings on the land, this red sun appeared to be much larger than when it was in the sky. The dim yellow light oppressed the buildings and trees all the way from the west, spreading the Barton in the westernmost part of the Federation, and casting black shadows behind many things.
Matthew and Louise returned to Grande from the cemetery in the west following the direction pointed by the shadow.
The work this afternoon had been delayed for a long time. After the funeral, Louise took advantage of the socializing time of the guests to explain to the clients who would need to attend more funerals about the upcoming church closure.
Although it was sudden, it was excusable. With the help of Father Constantine, these upper-class people from the Western district accepted the fact that the church service must be canceled. Matthew still went to the cemetery to carry out the burial ceremony with a few relatives and friends of the deceased, while Louise was surrounded by people and coordinating the future work arrangements for moving the graves.
It was six o’clock when they returned to Grande, and the Grande Funeral Home was as quiet as usual. Louise looked around in the office, wondering why Zach and Benjamin hadn’t come back. She then walked to the second floor as usual, but Alice did not abide by her promise to ‘Cook’s Kitchen’ and was not in front of the TV.
“Hank, where is Alice?” Louise asked the old Hank who was boringly changing channels in the room.
“Warehouse.” Old Hank seemed to have a natural rejection of beautiful women, he responded indifferently.
“Where is Jim?” Louise didn’t mind it, she got used to it.
“How would I know!” Old Hank felt annoyed.
Louise shook her head helplessly and went to the kitchen. Jim was not in the kitchen eating like it usually did. She was slightly relieved. Jin might be with Alice, so there should be no danger. Louise still wanted to visit the warehouse, but the ringing of the telephone from the east side of the stairwell made her change her mind. She knew that there must be a lot of voicemails waiting for her to reply.
To the south of Benjamin’s warehouse, it was Old Hank’s working area. Under the wooden canopy were half-finished coffins, carpenter’s tools, wooden blocks, and triangular logs that scattered on the open space. Further south was the real warehouse that had just been built for more than a month. This was also the outermost boundary of the Grande Funeral Home.
In the dim light, Alice was standing among a pile of white hard stones, a blurry statue of an angel, and a future tombstone that hadn’t had a proper shape… This was the deepest part of the warehouse, and Alice’s skirt still had burnt marks, Ryan didn’t even give her time to change clothes!
“Ryan, he won’t come. Let, let’s leave here.” Banshee Alice. Actually, the banshee had performed the first witchcraft, and with a brown-covered witchcraft notebook in her arms, she would be forced to use the second, the third, and the fourth witchcraft… So we may be able to upgrade the title of “banshee” to “black witch”— the exclusive title of women who were eventually tied to a wooden stake by the angry world and turned to ashes.
“No! He will definitely come!” Ryan’s body floated in the air, disappearing from time to time in the debris accumulated in the warehouse and then reappearing, seemingly looking for something, “Dawn and dusk, he will definitely come! It’s been like this in the past few days!”
“Ryan!” Alice was praying in her heart. She hoped that someone would find her here so she would leave here, “We shouldn’t do this, I have already promised you! At least, we should talk to Zach and Benjamin, okay?”
“Don’t even think about it!” The shadow gathered in front of Alice’s eyes, and Ryan stared at Alice’s face, “I know what you are thinking! You want to hide behind them! Humph! Alice! You coward!”
Alice’s body trembled and backed away, pressing her back against the edge of the cold stone.
“Am I wrong? !” Ryan continued to approach her, “You obviously have such great power! But you are hiding behind a vampire and a werewolf! Do you think this will make you a good person? ! You are no different from those black witches who seek immortality, but lost themselves ”
Alice’s face turned pale! There was no place behind her for her to dodge.
Think about it, what would a woman, who lived in fear because she could see the death of others, eventually become. They would do their best to avoid their death. The blood of Papa Midnight gave them this opportunity. History had proved that this was the path that every banshee would follow!
Ryan was right. Alice was no different from those black witches who have lost themselves. She just changed the method. Instead of relying on her own power, she was relying on the vampire Zach and Alpha Benjamin.
Alice already felt the pain from the hard rock behind her, her trembling body moved to one side, turned around under Ryan’s ferocious gaze, and wanted to run outside.
“I am right!” Ryan’s body dissipated like smoke and gathered again in front of Alice!
Alice’s brain was deceived by her eyes, her body stopped uncontrollably, and the trembling eyelashes scattered the dust floating in the dim light.
“Ha! I am right! Now I know why my mother kicked you out!” Ryan took a step closer to Alice, and Alice, who was trembling all over, took a step back.
“You can’t resist it! Even if you’re just a little girl, you can’t resist mother’s witchcraft! Mother found it! So she wants to stop you! She abandoned you on the street! !”
“Stop! Stop Ryan! I am begging you!” Alice kept shaking her head while facing the ground!
“No! I don’t want to stop! No wonder you want to stay in Grande! Because your family didn’t want you anymore! So they sent you to Barton, right? Do the people of the “Firefly” family think that we, the ‘Gale’ family would no longer be associated with witchcraft just because we chose to retire? !”
“Ryan! “Stop! Stop it! !”
“Haha! I’m right again! Alice! I see right through you! ! You are a shameless fiend who constantly exploits others! Sooner or later, the vampire will discover this too! You just wait to be abandoned again! !”
Alice’s fingers grasping Spell’s witchcraft notes were pale due to excessive force. She had once again retreated to the point that she could not retreat anymore. The fabric on the back of the white dress was squeezed by her shaking body and the warehouse wall. The creak of the planks spread throughout the warehouse.
Ryan did not continue to move forward, he stared coldly at Alice opening the witchcraft notes that belonged to his mother with her trembling hands.
“What are you doing! !” Ryan’s voice was not high and arrogant, but low and trembling, “What do you want to do! Do you want to exorcise me? !”
“I, I’m sorry, Ryan… I’m sorry! I’m sorry, Ryan, I’m sorry…” In Alice’s constant apologies, her hands stopped turning, and her eyes had found the spell she was looking for.
“&%￥#@*&#…(spell)”
In Alice’s trembling voice.
Something appeared.
