Chapter 3374 Waiting

The carriage was parked at the entrance of the town, and then Xia De carried the ghoul up the mountain first. After Miss Larson returned the carriage and asked about her teacher's current climbing progress, she met Xia De on the cliff outside the town.

The low cliff she pointed out was easy to find, facing the town and the sea, with a very wide view, and Shade even felt that it was a good place to have a picnic.

"Meow?"

"It's not about having afternoon tea, I just sighed and waited a moment, I just sighed in my heart, how do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Meow?"

"Do you think the ghouls are smelly, do you? Sorry, I'm standing at the upper vent."

Miss Larson came to meet with Xia De at around 3:00 p.m. Although it was dark early in winter, the sun was still in the sky. It was really pleasant to stand here on a clear winter day and look at the scenery at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and the town not far away.

She brought Claire news to Shade that the Witch had successfully passed the most dangerous section of the road above the mountainside, and now passed through the castle remains of unknown eras above the mountainside, and was climbing to a higher place. If it went well, you could reach the top in the evening.

"I will fly directly to the finish line in a while, which will save some time. Elder Harald was injured after all, and he was very busy, so he would not go to greet Claire. So are you going together?"

Xia De also invited Miss Larson. The white-haired girl had never reached the top of the mountain. She wanted to agree, but she thought that she still wanted Xia De to hold her and fly up, and she felt a little embarrassed:

"That would be a big trouble for you, right?"

"Is it troublesome? Aren't you going to ask Ellie for help?"

So the white-haired girl blushed suddenly.

Ellie suffered a serious injury due to Friday's incident, but thanks to the treatment of the big witches that night and the St. Byronst-made unicorn supplement sent by Emilia Toshade, although it still looks sick, it actually only needs to rest.

Emilia also instructed Xia De to find time to take Ellie out for the weekend to relax. The unicorn cannot keep huddling in the nest, so Xia De thought about asking Ellie to take the white-haired girl up the mountain for a while.

But obviously the Witch Apprentice didn't think of this just now.

While waiting for Mrs. Otto and Mr. Mayer to come, Shade also discussed with Miss Larson what to do. In order to prevent the vulnerable old man from really passing away due to excessive sadness, Shade prepared in advance to save people with "false immortality".

Miss Larson is responsible for keeping a stare at the ghoul at all times to prevent it from suddenly hurting people:

"Mr. Watson, do you say it has regained its sanity, or hasn't it? Will you still recognize Mrs. Otto later?"

The corpse ghost was lying in the pit that was dug out by the grass on the cliff, and Xia De was not sure.

He remembered the continuous "She is still waiting for me to go back" when he used [Contact Death] to peek at the ghoul's memory.

It was this idea that supported him for fifty years. Even though his body had long been dead, he still staggered out of the castle after thawing, and relied on his obsession to drive his body's instinct to go home.

"We just gave him a chance, after which, we would send him to death no matter what."

"So is Mr. Otto considered a ghoul or a ghost now? I have never seen such a strange existence."

"This is probably something that can only be born under special circumstances. I don't know what this is, but if I don't deal with it, the obsession with having a body may be able to move in the world of living people for a long time."

Mrs. Otto and Mr. Meyer came much slower than Shade thought. It was already four-thirty in the afternoon when they appeared, so that he would be quicker when he went up the mountain.

Mrs. Otto had to take a wheelchair with her legs and feet, so the carriage she hired sent her to the side of the small road leading to the cliff.

The carriage was unable to leave afterwards, so Mr. Meyer carried his aunt himself. Of course, there were really two "bodyguards" who looked quite strong. But the two bodyguards were obviously locals hired from Kyle Todd Town. Mr. Meyer may have considered that they were more familiar with the situation at the foot of the mountain, but it didn't matter if they were just ordinary people.

"Here!"

Xia De waved to the group, took Miss Larson to meet with them and took the initiative to introduce the situation:

"In the morning, my friend and I came here to see the scenery. It was my cat who smelled a strange smell. Then I dug out Mrs. Otto from the ground. Are you sure you want to see it yourself?"

Merchant Mr. Mayer was wearing a very ordinary winter outfit, while Mrs. Otto was wearing a gray wool cloak that was long with ankle-long gray wool cloak, with a complex black velvet bow on the collar. Inside the cloak was a fairly old-fashioned dark green skirt, with twenty pearl buttons arranged on the front to the top of the high collar.

As for the head, he wore a black beaver felt hat decorated with silver jewelry, and his white hair was tied into a tight round bun and wrapped it with a hair net.

She looked like a widow and a widow, and she seemed to be attending a funeral. Xia De could understand her mood very well.

However, compared to a few hours ago, the old man now seems to have accepted reality, at least he looks very strong. Of course, Xia De cannot be sure whether her trembling is because of the cold or the mood.

The wheelchair was carried by two bodyguards. After coming to a slightly flattering place, Mr. Mayer placed his aunt in the wheelchair. For a businessman like him who was not very sporty, it was really tiring to walk this journey with an old lady on his back.

"I want to see with my own eyes, Barnard, push me over."

"Okay, aunt, but please let me know if you feel uncomfortable."

The businessman said with great concern, holding his hat and holding him, and he also brought the doctor, but the doctor was waiting in the carriage on the road, and if there was any situation, he would immediately run over.

Shade and Miss Larson stood beside the shallow pit blocked by the tree, and Mr. Mayer pushed his aunt over with difficulty. The old lady, who was in a complicated mood, was both excited and sad, did not care about the movements of the two young people at this moment.

So she suddenly stopped in the wheelchair, and then she felt that her nephew seemed to fall into the snow beside her.

Due to the influence of the spell, he and the two bodyguards lay lightly on the ground without being injured. So Miss Larson took the initiative to walk over and continue to push the wheelchair.

Old Lady Otto didn't know what was going on, but before she raised her doubts, all the magic tricks that imprisoned the ghoul were removed.

While the wheelchair was heading towards the shallow pit, the ghoul swayed his body and sat up from the pit.

He covered his head, as if he had just woken up from a big dream. Then he saw the familiar and strange woman sitting in the wheelchair, and both of them were stunned.

For the safety of Mrs. Otto, Miss Larson did not push her to the ghoul. The two of them looked at each other at five or six meters apart, and then with a click, the falling tears wet the old man's clenched wrinkled hands.

She tried hard to stand up and stretch her hand forward, but her legs were really unable to support her, and in the end Miss Larson supported her.

The corpse ghost was finally no longer on all sides, but hunched his back, and stood up in a very strange posture in the shallow pit.

"Miranda, Miranda, I'm back, I'm back."

He still said this, and at first he felt as if he had a mouthful of sticky phlegm stuck in his throat, but the more he repeated the sentence, the clearer it became, until it seemed like a roar came out.

It was like a crying voice, but his current body structure was no longer enough to support his crying. The covered frost body kept shaking, and his hands with yellow nails stretched forward like claws:

"Miranda, Miranda, I'm back."

Xia De and Miss Larson, who was standing behind the wheelchair, looked at each other, and their expressions should be very similar.

"It's him, it's him. Young man, can you give us some time and let's talk?"

The old lady who had already cried and had red eyes then made a request, and Xia De had to warn her:

"You can see the status of this gentleman, he is no longer a living person."

"It's okay, I've heard of the legend of the Snow Mountain Ghost. I know his current situation. I know that you're finally back. I thought you really want to leave me."

She was already crying, and Xia De remembered the words "I thought you wouldn't come to me" yesterday morning, Claire, who was waiting for him on the snow mountain.

Miss Larson asked Xia De for his opinion with her eyes, but Xia De nodded softly after all:

"Try not to make physical contact."

He signaled Miss Larson to push Mrs. Otto to the edge of the small cliff facing Kyle Todd town, while Shade himself watched Mr. Otto and walked slowly over there.

In fact, Xia De had encountered a similar existence before, which was the father of the Green Lake Hotel, the owner of Green Lake Hotel, but there was no need to say this.

Xia De was not sure how much sanity the ghoul had recovered. After they moved to the edge of the cliff, Xia De and Miss Larson stood behind the wheelchair and the other stood next to the ghoul, watching them "chat" like this.

Facing the sun that was about to fall into the western sea and the golden town where Mrs. Otto lived all her life, the wind blew the white hair, and at this moment, only the old man in the wheelchair was speaking.

She talked about what happened after Mr. Otto disappeared, talked about everyone going to find him together, talked about the story of her waiting alone in the old house under the care of her neighbors, talked about spring, talked about autumn, talked about repairing the house alone when the house leaked, and talked about the puppy they originally raised who also died more than 40 years ago.
