These little child ghosts were specifically prepared by Scarlett Jennings against the Undying Bone, Greta.
Just as she suspected, Greta didn’t dare move them a bit.
Perhaps, it’s not that she didn’t dare.
But she couldn’t bear to.
Because these children, even as souls, were people he once safeguarded.
Scarlett admitted that this method was somewhat disgraceful, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat.
Seeing Greta planning to shake off the paper dolls on his body due to her and Samuel Chalmers’ approach, before he could act, Scarlett immediately spoke up,
"Don’t move! These are newly deceased child ghosts, their soul powers are extremely weak, any random foul air you throw out could scatter their souls!"
Upon hearing this, Greta’s intended escape action abruptly froze.
Scarlett felt an inexplicable ache in her heart; she was certainly deceiving him.
These child ghosts’ soul power was intentionally deepened, otherwise, how could they approach him so easily?
She used them to trap him, simply wanting to create an opportunity to communicate with him.
Seeing Scarlett about to step forward, Olivia Xalvadora suddenly advanced, spreading her arms directly to block in front of Greta.
A small figure, full of stubbornness and plea in her eyes.
"Don’t hurt Uncle!"
Uncle is a good ghost.
He eats mice, not humans.
Scarlett paused underfoot, looking at the little girl in front of her, faintly seeing a few tragic entanglements from her appearance, vaguely understanding why she was willing to join Greta.
Her expression softened slightly, and Scarlett merely said,
"I won’t hurt him, I just want to talk to him about something."
As if worried she might think she was lying, Scarlett raised a hand, directly recalled several little papermen.
Aside from Liora Gold and Araminta Gold, only two little papermen continued hugging Greta’s leg without letting go.
She then turned her eyes back to the Undying Bone in front of her,
"You can understand what I’m saying, I’m not here to kill you... Greta."
She called the name she heard from the little boy’s family.
Ever since she learned what he had done from his recent tracks, he was not some Undying Bone transformation to her.
But Greta.
"I know you still retain human consciousness, if you agree, I can let you live like a normal person."
She paused for a moment, then said,
"Just like those people you saw on the street earlier."
Sure enough, upon hearing her last sentence, Greta’s previously emotionless eyes finally moved, looking at her, repeating,
"Live like them..."
"Yes," Scarlett said, "Most people in our country now are just like what you saw."
This land guarded by our ancestors with blood has turned into a peaceful and beautiful place today, but they have never personally felt it.
If possible, she hoped he could live in the current flourishing world like everyone else.
Even if he no longer remembered who he once was.
Seeing Greta clearly already wavered, Scarlett’s gaze suddenly fell again on the little girl beside him, then continued,
"It’s not just you, but also this child beside you, if you continue to flee like before, she couldn’t stay with you, because she needs to attend school, the country’s nine-year compulsory education is every child’s right, but she couldn’t attend school if she followed you."
"School!"
Greta didn’t understand what this was, but instinctively felt it was something very important.
He wanted to live like a normal person and let Olivia Xalvadora attend school.
If listening to her can achieve these two things, then...
"I agree."
Greta said each word with a stiff but earnest voice, making Scarlett’s eyes suddenly curve into a smile.
Samuel Chalmers had been watching from the side, and only spoke at this point, asking her,
