Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 264 I Seem to Have Seen a Real Ghost

Lucas opened his eyes wide, trying to capture some information.

He felt as if he saw some flickering spots of light, or a flash of glowing flying snakes, but the constant pain in his body made him calm down. Those were not spots of light, but some illusions caused by his eyes deceiving himself because he had been trapped in the darkness for a long time.

"You big fool..." Lucas held on to the only source of security behind him and refused to let go.

"Where have you taken me?! I said take me to your master, Master!"

"Gurgle..." The stone statue made a low sound in the darkness, as if it was a little confused. It wanted to step back away from the person in front of it, but he held on tightly and refused to let go.

Just as Lucas began to sympathize with Lilith for having a hard time raising a fool, his waist tightened and a feeling of weightlessness came over him.

The gargoyle grabbed him again, and in the air current blowing in his face, Lucas knew that he was flying again.

"That's better. Next time when Lilith scolds you, I will speak up for you - eh?!" Lucas was making promises to the big fool when he suddenly felt his belt tighten, and then the belt dug into his flesh. He felt as if his abdomen was being pressed down and he couldn't breathe.

He was--hanged up? ?

"Damn it! What are you doing, you big idiot!" Lucas was hung from the waist, his whole body folded in the air, with no place to support his body. He grabbed around frantically, but could no longer touch the big guy who was usually docile and quiet.

This upside-down posture was very uncomfortable. He felt the blood rushing to his forehead. He took a deep breath, reached forward and felt around. To his surprise, he found something in front of him!

Lucas tried hard to grab the uneven ground in front of him, and raised his head suddenly. There was light in front of him. It was some spore plants that glowed in the dark. He tried hard to raise his upper body and tried to take a breath.

But what he saw was a pale, weird smile hanging upside down.

"Ahhhh-"

After a moment's silence, a heart-wrenching scream rang out from deep within the earth.

……

"Emerald Sanctuary?"

Lilith sat on the gargoyle and listened to Bobby share with her the information they had discovered.

"Yes, this place is called the Emerald Shelter. We found the stairs. At the corner, there are many directions. Each floor is marked with the name of this place." Bobby nodded and looked at Lilith. "You should have guessed it, right?"

"This place..." Lilith hesitated for a moment, "It should belong to the elves?"

"That's right." Bobby nodded. "This should be a wartime support station where the elves were stationed during the holy war, a place to rescue the wounded."

"No wonder, no wonder there is a greenhouse and so many medicines..." Lilith said in a trance, this is a wartime hospital...

Emerald... She looked at the big tree next to her and could almost imagine how lush it must have been in the past to allow the entire shelter to be built around it.

"Sean told me that they evacuated Gaia after the holy war. Just look at this place and you will know how determined they were to leave. They took almost nothing with them. I really want to know why..." Bobby sighed.

"Shh..." Lilith suddenly raised her hand to stop Bobby from talking, "Did you hear that?"

“—Aaaaaah.”

A shrill scream came from below, but Lilith and Bobby looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes - the guy was still alive!

Without Lilith's command, the gargoyle suddenly swooped down, moving left and right through the increasingly dense treetops, following the direction of the sound.

……

Lucas screamed, loosened his hands, and instinctively tried to dodge, but he was like a folded and hung towel, with no place to put his hands and feet. After grabbing around in vain for a long time, all he could touch in the end was the cold and hard object in front of him.

Lucas felt half of his face was numb, and in just a moment, he was covered in cold sweat. Recalling the strange scene he had just seen and feeling the deathly silence around him, Lucas gritted his teeth and climbed up the bulge in front of him again to raise his body.

It was still a pale, upside-down face.

But this time Lucas saw clearly that the guy in front of him, with half of his face corroded by glowing spores, was just a white stone statue.

A stone statue of a woman.

For some reason, Lucas suddenly remembered the stories passed down by the sea people that his mother told him and his sister when they were young.

"Lucas!"

A familiar call sounded from the darkness, pulling Lucas' thoughts back. His nerves, which had been stretched as tight as a bow, suddenly relaxed. He almost wanted to cry, and shouted at the light that was slowly descending like a star in the darkness -

"I'm here!"

When Lilith and Bobby followed the sound, they saw Lucas with red eyes and his body folded like a flip phone.

Lilith & Bobby: ...

"...How did you do it?" Lilith looked at the big tree outside the corridor and found it unbelievable. He fell from the side of the building, but was able to hang inside the building in the end?

"How dare you ask!" Lucas grabbed the stone statue beside him. He was so angry that he almost jumped up when he heard the sarcastic remark. "Ask the stupid thing behind you! It's all its fault! It left me hanging here and ran away!"

The gargoyle embraced Lilith and Bobby, flapping its wings quietly and looking towards Lucas.

"I'm glad you're okay. Lulu must be feeling guilty." Bobby just felt lucky, and then turned to look at the big guy behind him, "You already found him, why don't you just bring him back? You made everyone worry for so long."

"...When were you hung here?" Lilith looked at Lucas, who was full of energy, and slowly frowned.

"Just now! It left me hanging here and disappeared, and then you came down. Don't just take care of it without educating it. Can you teach this big fool some more when you have time? How can you save people like this..."

Lucas may have stayed in the dark for too long, and because Lilith brought light, he was so excited that he couldn't stop talking.

Lilith and Bobby, however, looked at each other as Lucas continued to talk.

"Is he still alive? Why don't you touch him..." Lilith began to give bad advice in a low voice, but Bobby kept shaking his head to refuse.

"Lucas." Lilith raised the lamp and shook it left and right. Lucas' shadow stretched and shortened. Then she interrupted him carefully, "If you are not hallucinating..."

"My gargoyle seems to have been with me since dark..."

Bobby raised his hand silently, "I will testify."

Lucas' words were choked in his throat. He looked at the gargoyle behind Lilith, who had a green face, fangs and a permanent expressionless face. The numbness on his face from the fright just now returned.

Lucas no longer cared about the discomfort of being hung up. His mouth opened and closed, and finally he spoke in a trance -

"Tell Hannah, I, I think I saw a real ghost."
