Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 206

Zachary was about to put the towels in the bathroom. He heard Lilly's words and stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around and reentered the room.

Lilly asked curiously, "Zac, aren't you going to put the towels away?"

Zachary remained unfazed and said, "I thought about it and decided to make the bed first!"

Lilly replied, "Oh…"

She looked at the female spirit, who was wearing pajamas and had a towel draped over her shoulder. The spirit leisurely walked into the room and sat down by the bed.

The spirit said, "Oh, we have new tenants again? Why have the new tenants turned out to be two kids?"

Lilly looked toward the direction of the bed and politely responded, "Sorry for the disturbance! We'll be here for two days. We'll be heading out soon!"

When Zachary got to the bed, he suddenly went completely still. He turned toward the bathroom and said, "I think I should put the towels down first."

Polly tilted its head and asked in puzzlement, "Caw caw, why did you come back?"

Zachary ignored Polly.

"I know you are afraid of ghosts," Polly said.

Zachary sneered and said, "Ghosts don't exist in this world."

Those nightmares terrified him. Even though he came here with Lilly, he still held the attitude that it's preferable to believe something is real or true than to believe it is nonexistent or false. In essence, he still believes that ghosts do not exist in this world.

Zachary was contemplating this when a man came out of the bathroom.

Zachary screamed inwardly. Urghh! Urgh, is this a dream? Am I hallucinating?

Josh would unquestionably jump three feet high, start to scream, run, and hide behind Lilly if he had seen the middle-aged man at this point.

On the contrary, Zachary was frozen in place like a statue. He had a blank look on his face. He spotted a middle-aged woman sitting by the bed in addition to this man.

Where did these two come from when there was nobody else in the room just now? If they were ghosts, then how could I see them?

Zachary's reflexes took forever to react.

That middle-aged man cast an unhappy glance Zachary's way and grumbled, "New tenants again? Seriously, the constant coming and going drives me crazy. These people don't pay and make a mess!"

Lilly hurriedly ran to the luggage and took out the gear that Uncle Anthony had prepared for them. She generously pulled out a stack of ritual papers and said, "Sorry for the interruption! We will pay!"

She painted a circle on the ground while holding the ritual papers in her other hand. She left a gap in the circle's northwest corner, lit the ritual papers, and chanted some words.

Zachary finally snapped out of it when he saw Lilly burn the ritual papers. He shuddered. He had goosebumps all over his body. He felt scared and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lilly explained, "I'm burning ritual papers for Uncle and Auntie. We'll be renting their place to stay for temporary."

Zachary walked over unnaturally to Lilly, sitting next to her like a cyborg, his back stiffening as he did so. Zachary quickly lowered his head and turned to look at Lilly when he noticed that both ghosts were staring at him.

He fumbled to say something, "Why do you need to draw circles?"

Lilly explained, "We have to draw circles so that they can get the offering. Otherwise, it will be blown away by the wind!"

Zachary remained silent.

Lilly urged, "Zac, keep in mind that you must draw circles before burning the ritual papers intended for someone. You must jot down the person's name and birth chart if they are not around. They won't get it otherwise."

He had witnessed others doing it without drawing anything. Zachary pondered, "What about those people burning the ritual paper at the crossroads on July 14th? They don't draw any circles."

Lilly said, "That is why the majority of the offerings they burn never make it to their loved ones. When they burn the ritual papers, there are many wandering spirits around; the offering could have reached them."

"Do you get it now?" Lilly asked worriedly in the end.
