As the gas appeared, the five people present aside from Wu Heng immediately felt a wave of dizziness.
"Stay awake!" Bahar reminded them, reaching down to pinch his own thigh.
The others hurriedly followed suit.
"Ian, what are you doing? I'm your sister! We're your family. Since you recognize us, why are you doing this?" Lini could not help asking.
"Come back, Ian. We'll leave this place together!"
She held out her arms as if to embrace him, calling Ian over in hopes that the power of family could move him.
"Big Sister!"
Ian's incantation paused slightly. Tilting his head, he looked at Lini and called out.
"Yes, I'm your sister. Come here quickly. We'll leave together. This time, we'll never abandon you again."
"Hehe." Faced with Lini's heartfelt words, Ian gave an innocent childlike smile and laughed twice, but slowly shook his head. "No. This is my home."
"This will become your home too."
At that point, he suddenly roared in a child's voice, "I won't leave, and neither will you!"
As Scream spoke, his pupils turned completely black, and so did his mouth.
Combined with his pale appearance, he looked like Toshio from The Grudge.
Low, obscure incantations continuously spilled from his mouth, like the buzzing of countless mosquitoes and flies.
The sounds vibrated through the air. In time with their cadence, the smoke drifting from the burning red fruits twisted continuously at the same frequency.
The walking corpses around them also began making strange movements.
The ring of fire started shrinking.
The walking corpses pressed closer and closer to the group from beyond the fire.
"How did it turn out like this?" Lini had never expected that her little brother, who had clearly regained consciousness, would not recognize her.
He even wanted to kill their entire family.
