Chapter 359 Anna's Past, the Grim Reaper Who Collects People
When people brought up her daughter's cause of death again, a look of sadness appeared on Mrs. Martinez's face.
With her back to everyone, she took a deep breath and asked in a low voice:
"What's it to you?"
After careful consideration, Sherry said to Mrs. Martinez:
"Perhaps you find it hard to understand, Mrs. Martinez"
But I do have a special connection with your daughter Anna.
Mrs. Martinez frowned upon hearing this.
He then turned around and looked at Sherry with a serious expression.
When Mrs. Martinez's appearance was revealed directly to everyone,
Sherry's eyes widened in surprise, and a slight unease rose in her heart.
Because Mrs. Martinez's face appeared to be burned on one side.
It left behind extremely hideous and terrifying scars.
Mrs. Martinez's eyes lit up the moment she saw Sydney!
Mrs. Martinez, leaning on her cane, slowly walked towards Sydney.
He reached out and gently stroked her cheek.
Mrs. Martinez stared intently into Sherry's eyes for a moment.
Then she said in a deep voice:
"You have her eyes."
In that instant, for some reason,
Sherry suddenly felt an urge to cry.
She quickly composed herself and nodded gently to Mrs. Martinez.
Mrs. Martinez reluctantly withdrew her gaze.
He sighed and said softly to Sherry and the others:
"Let's all sit down and chat."
Upon hearing this, everyone found a chair.
He sat down next to Mrs. Martinez.
"I'm sorry, my face looks like this."
Mrs. Martinez looked into Sherry's eyes and murmured:
"The factory where I work recently had a fire."
That fire took many lives, and it made me who I am today.
Sherry asked softly:
Did Anna also die in that fire?
Mrs. Martinez shook her head and said with some melancholy:
"No, but if they had listened to Anna, not so many people would have died."
Hearing Mrs. Martinez's words, and combining them with Li Yuan's previous explanation,
Sherry had a vague idea of what was going on. She nodded and then asked:
"Did Anna often see inexplicable things before she died?"
Mrs. Martinez, who had been hanging her head, suddenly raised it upon hearing this.
She looked intently at Sherry and asked softly:
"You can see those things now? Those things that aren't in the real world?"
"Yes, Mrs. Martinez."
Having received Sydney's reply, Mrs. Martinez continued:
"Seeing those ghosts must be very confusing, right?"
Those ghosts are destined to repeat their deaths every day, never finding peace.
Recalling the earthbound spirit she had encountered before, Sherry nodded helplessly and said:
"That's right, they always repeat what happened when they died."
"Anna is isolated because she can see those things; the villagers nearby are all terrified of her."
As she spoke, Mrs. Martinez stood up and went to a wall covered with photographs.
She gazed at the photo of herself and her daughter above, and softly began to recount Anna's past:
"Even when she was a little girl, she showed something different about herself."
Sometimes she would sit in front of people's houses and cry, and soon after, someone in that house would die.
Li Yuan, standing behind Mrs. Martinez,
Hearing this, he slightly grinned, thinking to himself:
"It's no wonder people are afraid of your daughter; anyone would think twice in this situation..."
Mrs. Martinez paused for a moment, then continued:
People say she's a witch who brings death.
But I know she isn't; Anna simply has the ability to foresee death.
The people in this town are very superstitious.
Raphael, standing to the side, seemed to be recalling his childhood experiences.
Nodding in empathy, he said softly:
"That's right, just look at those graffiti, people are afraid of the different."
Just as Raphael finished speaking,
A dark shadow slowly emerged from a crack in the corner wall.
It was a hooded Grim Reaper!
Li Yuan and Xue Li, who were closest to him, simultaneously spotted the figure of the Grim Reaper.
This discovery instantly alarmed Sherry.
Because she knew that the appearance of death meant that someone was about to leave this world.
Mrs. Martinez also noticed Sydney's expression.
It seemed as if he had a premonition that he was about to die.
Mrs. Martinez gripped Sherry's hand tightly and said anxiously:
Anna relives death several times a day.
Save her, please, save her.
As they were speaking, Death suddenly darted out from the corner.
With its huge, black mouth wide open, it pounced directly on Mrs. Martinez!
Li Yuan pulled Mrs. Martinez away.
He said in a deep voice to the Grim Reaper before him:
"Brother, please do me a favor and wait a moment."
However, death shows no mercy.
It roared and swung its sickle to strike Li Yuan.
Seeing that the other party was not giving him face, a dazzling holy light suddenly flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
He shouted sharply at Death:
"Get out of my way! Don't force me to take action!"
The divine power that Li Yuan suddenly unleashed instantly stunned Death in place.
Its body paused slightly, and its momentum immediately weakened.
Seeing that the other party was no longer aggressive, Li Yuan whispered to Death:
"Give us some time, it'll be over soon."
Li Yuan had no intention of interfering in the life and death of others.
But he hoped to let Martinez live a little longer.
To see Anna one last time, to make up for the regret in her heart.
Death was silent for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew his scythe and nodded to Li Yuan.
What else can it do? After all, it can't beat this guy.
Li Yuan turned around and said to Mrs. Martinez, who was still in shock:
"Take us to the place where your daughter committed suicide; perhaps you can see her one last time."
Mrs. Martinez nodded excitedly.
He then pulled Sherry along and quickly walked towards the basement.
On the way, Mrs. Martinez told everyone about the cause of her daughter's death.
It turns out that on the day the fire occurred,
Anna foresaw that a fire would break out at the factory.
She rushed to the factory to warn everyone that danger was about to occur.
But nobody believed Anna's words. The factory owner even had Anna thrown out.
Martinez, as a mother, did not insist on believing her daughter's judgment.
Ultimately, the fire still occurred.
Because they were afraid the workers would steal things from the factory.
The factory owner locked all the doors, which prevented most people from escaping.
Those who escaped accused Anna of bringing disaster to the factory.
From then on, everyone became even more resistant to Anna's presence.
The children even threw stones at Anna to drive her away.
Under immense pressure, Anna finally succumbed to the criticism from everyone.
He chose to end his life in the basement.
After Mrs. Martinez finished recounting the whole story,
The group followed her into the basement.
The cluttered basement was extremely dark.
Li Yuan and the others who had just entered
Suddenly, a faint cry for help came to my ears:
"Help me...help me..."
'Pat'
Mrs. Martinez reached out and turned on the basement light switch.
It instantly dispelled the darkness in the basement.
The moment the lights came on, a loud thud of a chair falling over came from behind everyone.
Li Yuan and the others turned their heads and were shocked to find a figure hanging there!
Seeing this, Sherry quickly ran over, shouting:
"My God! No! Don't do this!"
Of all these people, only Mrs. Martinez couldn't see her daughter's face.
She looked at Sherry in confusion and hurriedly asked:
"Who's there? Is it Anna?"
