Wicked Reincarnation

Chapter 94: Dead End 4



Chapter 94: Dead End 4

The exact location wasn't known to Lia or even Xavi but she has remembered her position and the direction the U family resided in. Lia was aware of what she was doing and how it just potentially made everything worse.

Even more so, she has discarded her allies and broken her promise to Xavi. She could understand if they were angry, worse if they deemed her not fit following her.

Whatever the consequences, Lia was ready to face and bear through them. She was about to lose her power anyways and the craze washing over her was enough to make her disregard everything.

If she couldn't fulfil her revenge, if everyone were to leave, what did it matter to her if she didn't have power anymore?

Lia stopped and looked at the night sky, she was fooling herself. It meant everything to her. But instead to turn around and pretend nothing's happened, Lia has already made up her mind. And once she settled on something, she was unwilling to step back from it.

The grassy land went for a long while and it wasn't until morning when Lia arrived at the area where the U family was supposed to be.

Yet she found nothing in the far and wide, nothing but nature awaited her and nothing but the realisation that she has failed yet again. She should've stayed with the others, shouldn't have gone off alone but it was too late to return and Lia was even more stubborn to find the U family.

They must be somewhere here. There weren't any cities in the radius of at least 10 km, so the U family might be hidden somewhere here.

Maybe in a lone house like the one she was teleported to by the Lord to play his perverted game.

Lia ventured closer to the border and saw the ghosts sealed in the invisible squares again. Absent-mindedly she stepped closer and to her surprise, the pattern of the talisman was completely different from the ones before.

Lia's finger hovered over the crest before slightly touching it, yet just when her fingertips brushed over it, a young voice called out to her, "Big sis says it's dangerous here. We shouldn't touch it."

Lia retracted her hand and turned to look at a small boy who was even younger than Xavi 's appearance. He had brown, short hair and rosy cheeks. His hands were folded behind his back and he tilted his head to look at Lia with big, round eyes.

"Then will you bring me to your big sis?" Lia smiled at him and crouched down to push the bangs on his forehead away. The boy shook his head.

"Big sis says strangers are bad."

"But you're alone here, wouldn't big sis be angry too?" for some reason Lia had the feeling the boy would bring her to the U family. Even if he didn't, there were at least some people who lived here and she could ask them.

The boy and the cautious big sis he spoke of seemed harmless enough for Lia to deal with them on her own.

"I" the boy hung his head low, "I don't want to stay home all the time but big sis."

"She's worried. Shall we go back so big sis won't scold you?"

The boy's eyes brightened but his head wasn't bright. Lia took the boy's hand and motioned him to bring her to his big sis, but the boy hesitated,

"Big sis will be angry, we shouldn't bring strangers."

"Don't worry, I will wait outside, so you only need to call your big sis for me okay?"

Lia felt bad for swindling a little kid like this and making him disregard what his sister warned him about.

The boy hesitated before finally agreeing and walked with Lia to his house. They walked along the area with the ghosts and Lia wondered why he wasn't afraid of them.

"Did your big sis tell you these ghosts can't harm you?"

The boy shook his head, "No, they're dangerous but sealed. Big sis said even if we're afraid we should get used to their presence but not get close!"

The boy gave Lia a determined look before pulling her away from the ghosts. Not far from where they met, a small house came in sight.

Lia was a bit amused, no wonder she didn't notice it. It was a wooden house painted in dark brown whereas the roof was green. From afar it looked simply like thick tree.

Once they were closer to the house, the door opened with a bang and a female ran out. The young boy let go of Lia's hand and ran to the female who embraced him tightly, her worried voice was carried to Lia, "Didn't I tell you not to go out alone? Do you know how worried I was? How dangerous?"

Lia watched them before her eyes fell behind them on the house. Behind the door, with only their heads sticking out were three more kids who curiously looked and giggled. The scene playing in front of her brought a sad smile on Lia's face and made her involuntarily reminisce about her childhood when she was scolded by her parents for sneaking out of the house to visit Min.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry but I don't wanna stay at home all the time," the boy aggrieved told of his worries.

"I know it's hard but please bear with it," the female let off of the boy and Lia could finally see her.

She had long brown hair that flowed over her shoulders and bangs that swept across her forehead. Her green eyes were partly covered by round glasses and she gave off a timid yet determined aura but her facial features revealed some naivety.

The female stood up and lastly noticed Lia. The female pushed the boy gently towards the house. The boy did as he was told and closed the front door. However, a few seconds later four curious heads popped behind the window, anticipatingly watching Lia and their big sis.

"Who are you?" The female's warm and worried tone disappeared and left only vigilance.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything. If it puts you at ease, I'll stay here," Lia showed the female her hands to indicate she didn't have any weapons and to convey she didn't have any bad intentions.

"What do you want?"

Lia determined it was safe to tell her and said, "I've heard the U family lives here somewhere. There's nothing here and I was getting concerned, that's when your little brother helped me out."

"Why do you want to look for the U family"

Lia gave her a small smile. Despite the female being vigilant and cautious she was still naive and wet behind her ears to reveal small hints like this.

"You know the U family?"

The female was slightly startled before answering, "I've never said I know them."

"Is that so? If you don't, you should've asked 'what's the U family' instead of asking why I want to look for them."

The female opened her mouth and made an 'oh'. She was aware of the dangers but just like her brother not very smart, "You-You still haven't answered my question!"

"I would like to ask the U family for help."

These words brought a self-deprecating expression mixed with sadness onto the female's face, "The U family can't even help themselves, how could they help you?"
