Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 1006

Looking at his abnormality, a man walked up to him, and then he mumbled something and pasted a talisman on his head. And Zachary really could not speak. The man in front of him looked like a wizard, as he dressed like one. Suddenly, Zachary’s mind flashed with a lot of memories that did not belong to him.

Her name was Maria Reyes, and she was a worker in the clothing factory. Her salary was low, and the economy back then was not good. She and her husband worked hard to build their house. They were always working, even when they were sick. With their own efforts and some money borrowed from their relatives, they managed to build their own house. They planned to work for another two years to pay off their debts, and they would save some money before Maria became a full-time mother.

One day, Maria had a fever, but she would lose a huge sum of money if she applied for leave. She forced herself to work in the end. She ended up fainting in the factory, and she only woke up three days later. From that time on, she felt that her brain was damaged. She would uncontrollably talk to herself. And there were times she walked to the riverside in the middle of her work, and she stood there by herself. Her husband was terrified when he found her. Many thought that her brain was damaged, so her husband brought her to several hospitals. They spent all their savings, but all of the doctors diagnosed her as a healthy, normal person. The doctor said that a fever could not damage her brain unless she had meningitis, but all the checks showed that her brain was normal.

"She was possessed, so she’s like this." The wizard said, "The spirit wanted to use her as their substitution. She walked to the riverside all of a sudden because they wanted her dead." He continued to say, "I will put her into the barrel and add in my unique alchemy." He then said, "The spirit was afraid of heat; we can force them out by steaming them." Maria’s mother and husband immediately agreed with him.

They went to several hospitals, and all of the doctors gave them similar answers. So they believed that Maria was being possessed. The wizard could keep Maria still with just a talisman, so they believed he was the real deal.

Zachary panicked! He might be a kid, but being in the Crawford family with Lilly gave him a lot of exposure. After possessing Maria’s body, he was sure that she was not possessed by ghosts! She had never gone to check up in a mental hospital. She should have a split personality instead of being possessed! But none of them listen to her.

"Let me go... I’m really not possessed." Zachary saw them not listening to him, so he did not dare to say that he was not her. "I’m normal; I'm fine! Really!" He was about to cry. He had been put into the barrel by then, and the wizard played some trick to make him still. He could not stand, let alone climb out of the barrel.

"Look, the ghost in her was scared! They can’t escape now, so they pretend to be normal." Zachary almost fainted from his explanation! So he hurriedly said, "I’m not possessed. Do you know about split personalities? Sometimes I would turn into another personality."

The wizard sneered, "You’re not mentally sick! Your family can tell!" He asked, "Do you guys think that she’s mentally ill?" Her husband shook his head and said, "She’s normal most of the time." Her mother said, "She would cook and even feed the animals. And she could plant and take care of the garden." How can she be mentally ill?

The villagers around muttered, "That’s right... Mental illness isn’t like this. The crazy person in the other village isn’t like this." Someone said, "Even though she’s not crazy, isn't this too dangerous to cure her?" Some of them even tried to save Maria: "Madame Hazel, I think it's better to bring Maria to a better hospital! What if she’s killed in this process?"

But Maria’s family shooed all of them away. They were worried that the villagers would enrage the wizard, and then he might refuse to heal Maria. No matter what Zachary said, he was still being put into the barrel. He was in despair.
