Chapter 676: Chapter 676: The Fate of Demons
No matter if she risks her soul being shattered, Abigail Bryant wants these two little demon bastards to pay the due price!
That’s what she thought, however, the Ghost Body touched the two in an instant, but passed right through their bodies.
Despair shone in Abigail Bryant’s eyes, as she unwillingly threw herself at the two once more.
But still, she couldn’t touch them.
She was too weak.
If it were nighttime, perhaps it would be better, but now the midday sun was at its peak, and this was when her Ghost Energy was the weakest.
Unwillingly, Abigail Bryant roared at the two, trying to make them perceive her presence.
But it was still useless.
Even if she went to find Scarlett Jennings now, it would be too late.
What to do?
What is she supposed to do?
Suddenly, her gaze landed on the little girl about to be dragged into the pit by the two.
In a flash of realization, Abigail Bryant didn’t have time to think further and directly dashed towards the little girl.
This time, she didn’t pass through the girl’s body.
She came in.
No, to be precise, she possessed her!
The little girl, originally frightened to the point of fainting, suddenly opened her eyes, which now held an intensity not belonging to a child.
Ignoring the pain from her head being pulled, Abigail Bryant forced herself to spin on the ground.
Her sudden movement caught both boys off guard.
Roman Clark’s hand, which was pulling her hair, abruptly let go, and the other boy, seeing this, tried to grab her foot to pull her back.
Abigail Bryant was grateful her feet weren’t bound. At this angle, her foot kicked fiercely at the boy’s groin.
The real little girl wouldn’t know, but Abigail Bryant, an adult, knew precisely where to strike to cause the most pain.
Instantly, one of them was kicked until he howled and knelt on the ground.
Roman Clark, seeing this, angrily raised a foot to kick her, but Abigail Bryant rolled to his back and kicked at the joint of his calf.
Without warning, Roman Clark fell forward, kneeling on the ground, a wave of intense pain surging from his knee contorted his face.
Abigail Bryant seized the moment to stand up. The fabric originally binding her loosened a bit with the recent rolling, and a slight struggle set her free.
She tore the cloth out of her mouth.
With a cold glance at the two, she neither turned to flee nor called loudly for help.
Even if she shouted for people to come and capture them, these two devils wouldn’t face any punishment.
This time, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Both boys saw the girl, with a determination mismatched to her age, turn around and pick up half a brick from nearby.
Roman Clark’s expression twisted, "You little brat, how dare you resist, watch me kill you later..."
Abigail Bryant said nothing, turned, raised her hand, using all the force this body could muster, and struck fiercely at the head of the boy closest to her.
The boy hadn’t yet recovered from the pain in his groin when his head suddenly got hit, blood streamed down and he collapsed in disbelief.
Equally shocked was Roman Clark.
How dare she?!
The boy who got his head smashed was someone he met in the juvenile detention center, both locked up for underage murder, forming an almost instant alliance.
Because the boy was released earlier, they agreed to plan a "big event" after being freed.
Thus, after being picked up today, he immediately committed another crime.
He thought the little girl was just ordinary.
But who could’ve imagined, she was even more ruthless than them?
Though a sense of fear arose subconsciously, he still charged at her fiercely...
When tripped to the ground, Roman Clark didn’t even react to what happened. It wasn’t until the piercing pain in his head that he realized he had truly fallen at the hands of a little girl today.
Just wait, once he’s healed, he’ll definitely kill her!
Not just her, but her entire family, kill them all!
Roman Clark thought viciously but saw that after smashing the boy, the little girl didn’t leave and still stood in front of him with that bloody brick, looking down at him from above.
Just as he had once looked down at her.
Blood and tears blurred his vision, yet he saw the girl in front of him slowly pull out a sweet, chilling smile.
She asked him,
"Underage murder... doesn’t get sentenced, right?"
Roman Clark’s head buzzed, finally understanding the meaning of her words, his eyes widened slowly, horror spreading across his face.
For the first time, he felt fear.
"No, I was wrong, I..."
Fearful, he started to plead, but before he could finish, the girl’s face turned expressionless again, and without mercy, she swung the brick down hard on his head.
Before losing consciousness, Roman Clark seemed to see the girl’s face merge with another woman’s image.
He remembered the woman, the one he had pushed down the stairs to death for meddling.
She came for him!
The Ghost... the Ghost came to seek revenge!
*
Abigail Bryant ultimately did not take the lives of the two.
It wasn’t out of compassion.
She just couldn’t let her hatred stain the little girl with murder on her behalf.
Her life was too long; she shouldn’t be marked by such scum.
Although she didn’t plan to take their lives, Abigail Bryant didn’t intend to let them off easily either.
Thus, she smashed their hands and feet, turning them into a bloody mess.
Once done, she controlled the little girl’s body to quickly run to where people were, then burst into tears.
Only after drawing the attention of nearby adults did she exhaust all Ghost Power and detach from the girl’s body.
Lying on the ground, she watched as someone screamed while checking the little girl covered in blood, another shouted urgently for the girl’s parents.
She watched the girl’s grandmother, worriedly stumbling as she ran over with a basket of apples on her back,
Watched her tightly hugging her own terrified, crying granddaughter,
And watched the apples roll out of the grandmother’s basket all the way to her.
Abigail Bryant lightly inhaled the scent of apples, finally feeling at ease as she completely closed her eyes.
So good.
She saved another little girl.
Now, even if she turns to ash, she’d do so willingly.
Abigail Bryant thought she would disappear like those ghosts in movies, evaporating under sunlight.
But after lying there for a while, her soul did not fade away.
Instead, another familiar face arrived.
Scarlett Jennings looked down at the ghostly Soul Body, who lay peacefully on the ground, unsure of how to describe this ghost.
Abigail Bryant opened her eyes, saw Scarlett Jennings, and after an initial sense of release was replaced with inexplicable guilt, said,
"Master Jennings..."
Scarlett Jennings, silent, pulled out a Yellow Talisman.
Abigail Bryant looked very upset.
As expected, Master Jennings came to capture her.
Scarlett Jennings casually used the Spirit Talisman to capture the Soul Body of Abigail Bryant directly into the Talisman.
It would take days before she could heal with her Ghost Power entirely depleted.
Better to take her along for now.
Just after securing the soul properly, the two boys in the abandoned building were finally found, soon followed by the arrival of an ambulance.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at the boys, battered and bloody, without a hint of sympathy.
As for the little girl, although she wouldn’t face punishment, that wouldn’t stop the families of those boys from making trouble later.
The best approach was preemptive.
After a moment’s thought, she pulled out her phone again, her gaze shifting between Luca Jennings and Uncle Ming, finally dialing Samuel Chalmers’ number,
"Samuel Chalmers, I’d like to borrow a lawyer."
