Mom

  What does it feel like to be struck by lightning and die?

  That kind of pain that could crush one's soul, Luo Ke had experienced it once and it was enough to make her remember for a lifetime.

  The first thing Luo Ke did after waking up from his dream was to sneakily put his hand into the hem of his pajamas.

  The things below were neatly arranged, and there wasn't anything extra. Luo Ke let out a long sigh of relief, fortunately, she hadn't brought back anything that shouldn't be brought back.

  She slowly walked into the bathroom and looked at the familiar yet strange face in the mirror, her expression a bit dazed.

  Reality and dreams were becoming increasingly indistinguishable to her; she didn't know whether this was reality or another bizarre dream.

  A desperate and sorrowful pale face flashed through her mind, Luo Ke's eyes stung, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.

  Dà bǎo, wèi shén me wǒ yǐ jīng kāi shǐ xiǎng nǐ le?

  Translation:

  Darling, why have I already started missing you?

  It must be her way of crossing over that's wrong!

  When Luo Ke crossed over, she was facing a huge crisis. To put it simply, she was dying. Even if she had taken the place of the original host, this fact would not have changed.

  What kind of rhythm is this, passing through and dying?

  Lu Ke was heartbroken to the point of being egg-pained, and soon she lost consciousness. Fatigue came flooding in like a tidal wave, sweeping her thoroughly into the darkness.

  When she woke up again, she was surrounded by the deep green lake water, with black aquatic plants swaying beside her and small fish swimming happily in and out of her body.

  Such a state is absolutely unbearable for humans.

  So she's become a ghost again?

  Luò silently comforted himself, thinking that at least this time it was only a female ghost, which was already a significant upgrade compared to the last time when he became a male child ghost Xiao Bao.

  It wasn't long before Luo Ke realized he had been too optimistic.

  This withered tree branch-like body, paired with skin that's even darker than coal, made Luo Ke feel like he was going to die from fright.

  Damn it! This kind of state is even worse than that male ghost last time. At least he had a normal appearance!

  It's okay, this can't be helped, Luo Ke could only accept such a state.

  Soon, Luo Ke discovered another problem. Although her consciousness existed, she couldn't control her body to make any movements and could only stay at the bottom of the lake, boredly watching the small fish swimming around her.

  When the fiftieth generation of offspring of the first wave of small fish was born, Luo Ke discovered that he could move.

  That feeling of regaining control over his body made Luo Ke so excited that he almost jumped up, waving goodbye to the small fish still in the egg state, and swimming excitedly towards the water surface.

  Sunshine, freedom, I'm here!!!!!

  Victoria didn't know what had happened, why there was so much ketchup on her mother's head, or why she was lying motionless on the floor and wouldn't open her eyes no matter how hard Victoria shook her.

  Victoria sat beside her mother, watching as her normally affectionate father roughly pulled her and her sister out of the house and shoved them into the car parked at the door.

  Victoria hugged her frightened sister and looked at her father in horror.

  The man turned around and glared at them fiercely, then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

  Victoria saw from the car window that they were getting farther and farther away from the home where they had lived for many years, until the house became a small black dot and could no longer be seen.

  Victoria held Lily tightly and comforted the frightened little girl in a soft voice.

  The heavy snow fell, and the white snowflakes dyed the earth into a silver-white color. All the filth and evil were buried by the heavy snow, without leaving any trace.

  Victoria followed behind her father, trudging through the mountain forest with deep and shallow steps. She didn't know why her father had brought them here; she only knew that as long as she followed behind her father, everything would be okay.

  As a ghost, she can't walk fast, run, jump high or fly far. With such a crappy attribute, is she really a ghost? Is it because her skill points haven't been lit up that's why she can't use skills?

  If she said that after struggling for two years, she still couldn't get out of this deep mountain and forest, wouldn't she be despised to death?

  Snowflakes floated in the sky, although she couldn't feel the cold, Luo Ke still slowly returned to her dwelling place - a small abandoned wooden house in the forest.

  I don't know if it's because I've become a ghost or not, but although there's a bed and blankets in the wooden house, Luo Ke didn't want to sleep on the bed, and instead shrunk his entire body into the wall. Luo Ke let out a yawn and closed his eyes wearily.

  Wait until the cold winter is over, and she will continue to look for a way out.

  The man pushed open the old wooden door of the small cottage and walked in with his two daughters.

  Lily was placed on the sofa in a state of deep sleep, while the man took Victoria, the elder daughter, to the window.

  "Victoria, look, there's a little deer outside the window."

  The man's expression was gentle as he spoke, and he took off the thick glasses that were perched on the bridge of the girl's nose and crushed them heavily on the ground.

  "Don't be afraid, son, Dad will be right there..."

  Luò was startled awake by the sound of the door opening. She looked at the big and small ones who walked in with a curious expression. What were they doing bringing children to this desolate mountain wilderness during the harsh winter season?

  With nothing better to do, these people were just right for her to relieve boredom. Luo Ke silently stared at the three of them, only feeling that the man's expression was a bit strange.

  That man was pulling a slightly larger little girl and saying something, Luo Ke felt a bit bored, just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, he saw the man take out a black thing from his pocket and aim it at the girl's head.

  I heard that he is not her father, is he crazy?

  Luò Kě had not yet reacted, but his body was already out of control and rushed out. His black hair swept towards the man like a tide, wrapping him up densely.

  Without her glasses, Victoria felt as if a gray mist had descended over the world, obscuring everything in front of her.

  Victoria saw a dark shape flash by in a blur and then her dad seemed to vanish into thin air.

  "Dad?"

  Victoria called out softly, but there was no response. The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the sound of cold wind whistling outside the house.

  Lily, who was lying on the sofa, didn't know when she woke up. She rubbed her eyes and walked to Victoria's front, snuggled into her arms, yawned and fell asleep again.

  Victoria hugged her sister and sat in front of the window, staring at the empty little wooden house, waiting for her father to return.

  After a long while, Lily said softly: "Victoria, I'm hungry..."

  "Lily, be good, Daddy will be back soon..." Victoria softly comforted her little sister, whose tummy was also very hungry.

  Lily obediently closed her mouth and nestled in her sister's arms, waiting for their father to come home.

  Outside the house, the cold wind howled, and the heavy snow fell thick and fast, covering up the winding footprints on the ground, which soon disappeared without a trace.
