Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 385

Lilly went over to the table and picked up the glass. 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 placed the glass 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 declared 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 flapped its wings frantically.

Bryson was completely flabbergasted. 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 Blake 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…

Blake'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?" Blake asked in a hushed voice.
