Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles! novel Chapter 475

As Lisa stood still in the center of the living room, the Crawford family engaged in a lively debate about her eating habits and preferences. The discussion revolved around the question of whether or not she consumed food.

Lilly, growing increasingly perplexed, wondered whether her aunt ate or not.

If she did eat, who had been providing her with nourishment all these years? On the other hand, if she did not eat, her stomach must have withered away from prolonged hunger.

The thought of her having an empty stomach all this time sent a shiver down their spines.

How pitiful…

Lilly's gaze fixed on Lisa, and her mouth watered at the sight.

Without hesitation, she dashed to the restaurant, grabbing a drumstick and hurrying back. As she approached Lisa, she lifted her feet high to reach her height.

"Aunt Lisa, here, you should eat this!" Lilly exclaimed, presenting the drumstick in front of Lisa. However, Lisa's neck moved stiffly, and she simply stared at the drumstick without making any movement.

Undeterred, Lilly pushed the drumstick into Lisa's hand and hurried back to the kitchen to fetch a steamed bun.

"Aunt Lisa, eat up! " Lilly urged, holding out the steamed bun to her.

Lisa turned her head stiffly and continued to stare at Josh blankly.

The drumstick slipped from Lisa's hand, making a loud clattering sound on the floor.

Anthony remained seated in the corner of the sofa, silently observing, but he struggled to find any resemblance between this woman and the person he remembered from the past. Even her once striking eyes now appeared dull and lifeless, resembling those of a zombie.

"Let's wash her up first, Margaret," Anthony suggested aloud, breaking the silence.

Unexpectedly, at that very moment, something extraordinary occurred!

Lisa, who had been facing away from Anthony, suddenly snapped her head around with a distinct snapping sound, completing a 180-degree turn. Everyone present was taken aback by this unnatural movement.

"Snap!"

A sharp and distinct sound echoed through the room, causing the object in Bettany's hand to slip from her grasp and fall to the ground. Her heart raced, nearly giving her a heart attack.

Startled, Polly took flight in a panic, exclaiming, "Help! This is madness!"

Was this how Polly defined "madness"?

Even Hugh, who had been observing with a furrowed brow, jumped up in alarm and rushed to assist Bettany.

Bettany, still in shock, stammered out, "You... You…"

After last night's rescue operation led by Josh, Drake, and Lilly, they had witnessed Lisa straighten up with a cry, but they had never seen her twist her neck 180 degrees before!

Josh could not help but exclaim, "Oh my goodness... Is it even possible for a human's neck to twist 180 degrees??"

Wouldn't she die? Wouldn't she be paralyzed?

Blake narrowed his eyes as he continued to observe Lisa closely.

He noticed that her neck did not twist a full 180 degrees, but rather her waist and neck seemed to twist together. In other words, she turned her neck while simultaneously rotating her lower body in the opposite direction, creating the illusion of a 180-degree neck twist.

The speed at which she executed the movement was astonishing, with a quick snap that made it appear as if her head had indeed turned a full 180 degrees. The shawl-like garment draped over her shoulders remained motionless during the process, adding to the illusion.

From a theoretical standpoint, anyone with good flexibility and resilience could potentially perform such a maneuver, similar to the visual trickery employed in the "falling head" magic trick that relies on visual dislocation.

The peculiar nature of Lisa's abilities left everyone perplexed.

She did not seem human, nor did she resemble a ghost or a zombie.

Just what is she?

Lilly, after a moment of astonishment, finally regained her voice and exclaimed, "Wow... that's incredible! Aunt Lisa is super awesome!"

While Lisa could not talk, she possessed the remarkable capability to twist her neck 180 degrees with a distinct snap. It was undoubtedly a convenient and unusual ability to have.

The thought of the practical uses of Lisa's unique ability brought a glimmer of excitement to Lilly's eyes. She imagined scenarios where she could effortlessly converse with students behind her in class by simply turning her face towards them, or catch thieves in the act by swiftly facing the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Lisa continued to fixate her gaze on Anthony, her eyes filled with a sense of confusion.

Anthony, having regained his composure, spoke again, "First, let's get you cleaned up and change your clothes."

As Anthony observed Lisa more closely, he realized that her neck was not twisted 180 degrees, but rather her clothing seemed stiff and immobile. It seemed that the illusion was created by the contrast between Lisa's movements and the lack of movement in her clothes. Understanding the potential impact on others, Anthony felt Lisa needed to change into more ordinary attire as soon as possible to avoid alarming anyone, especially Bettany.

Margaret, visibly shaken, expressed her fear and reluctance to handle the situation. Her face turned pale, and she stammered, "Mr. Anthony... I…I don't dare do bathe her,"

The issue of Lisa needing to take a shower suddenly became a source of trouble and dilemma for everyone present.

In the end, Lilly came up with a solution. She placed an "obedient talisman" on Lisa and provided her with clear instructions to take a bath independently, alleviating concerns and ensuring Lisa's cooperation.

In one of the guest rooms on the third floor, Lilly perched on the edge of the bed, patiently awaiting Lisa's return.

Pablo crossed his arms and floated nearby, sharing his thoughts, "Lisa may not be suitable to live with the Crawford family. It may sound harsh, but considering her condition..."
