Chapter 249 - Village Of Dead
Yohan noticed something unusual inside the house, Yohan got up from his place, and the next moment he Entered inside the house to clear his suspicion, but the moment he put his leg inside that place, his heart sank seeing the sight, There were two skeletons lying on the ground, Around the corner inside the house, that place was small from inside,yohan felt like throwing after seeing those two carcasses laying around the corner, but he controls himself.
He heard footsteps behind him and turned his head and looked at amelia, she was looking at those two skeletons with a nonchalant expression on her face, she lost the shine on her face when she looked towards those two skeletons, they were Her parents, the things she told him about her parents were all true.
Yohan felt chill around his body seeing that little girl like that, he approached her and scooped her into his arms, and closed her eyes with his hands. He didn't know why he did that, but he didn't want her to see them in this condition, so he took her outside the house. Yohan's heart is throbbing louder, thinking That this girl living with her dead parents, who died A long ago, doesn't have any skin on their bodies.
Yohan caressed her back as he took her out from her house, she was calm when she was in his arms. Various kinds of thought started running into his mind, and there was only one way to find out. Sometimes later, Yohan placed her on the ground and looked towards her with a smile on his face.
"Stay here, amelia,dont go anywhere, even in your house, I will be back,"yohan said as he petted her head, she calmly looked at him when yohan said those words to her. She gave him a slight nod, she didn't know how but she felt comfortable around yohan, and yohan also knew that she was curious about him, probably she didn't see any human around this place in the last few years because this place is isolated and kind of cut out from the big cities.
But deep down, Yohan knew something terrible had happened here, and he wanted to find out everything about this place. Sometime later, Yohan approached a house while leaving Amelia in front of her house, and in a single kick, he blasted the door and made his way inside that house.
His heart sank seeing In the same scene in front of his sight, five skeletons were lying on the ground, and three of them were the skeletons of the child.
Yohan clenched his fist, and the next moment he approached another house. To his surprise, he saw a familiar sight, and one after another, he made his way to more than twenty houses, all of those houses filled with dead peoples, their remains lying inside their houses.
"The whole place is filled with dead people, All of them committed mass suicide,"yohan whispered. As he looked at the remains of a family which is lying in front of his eyes, yohan tightened his fist, seeing the gruesome scene in front of his sight and he left the house, he didn't dare to go and look for another house as he knew what was waiting for him; his heart was filled with sorrow and grief as he walked on the road, and saw amelia who is standing in front of her house and looking in the direction of yohan.
He approached her and bent down on his knees, and looked towards her with affection; this little girl was all alone inside the whole village, living beside her parents.
She looked at yohan with a confused gaze," are you sad" she asked the same thing again.
Yohan shook his head in response" no, I am not sad,i am happy that i didn't leave this place after getting Back on my feet,"yohan responded to her, and the next moment, he hugged her.
"You are warm, just like my mother," Amelia said as she felt comfortable in Yohan's embrace.
"Just like your mother."
"Yes, whenever I felt cold, my mother used to grab me like this, and stayed like this until I Started feeling warm," Amelia responded to yohan.
Yohan took a deep breath as he caressed Amelia's back, his eyes were wet, and tears were flowing from his eyes as he heard those words from Amelia's mouth, he tightly hugged her and Stayed there for Few minutes.
But something caught his attention as he felt a familiar presence, and the next moment an old man descended from the sky with lightning-fast speed.
"Finally found you brat," Leon blasted on the ground as he said those words,yohan jumped a few steps back as he held amelia in his hands, seeing Leon amelia tightly grabbed yohan out of fear.
"What the hell do you think you are doing, old man, trying to scare here,"yohan shouted as he looked towards his grandpa. And then he shifted his gaze towards amelia.
"It's okay, he is harmless, you don't have to be afraid of him, "Yohan calmed Amelia, but she hid her face against his chest.
Leon was taken aback as he heard Yohan, but then he noticed a small girl in his arms, she was looking afraid of him, Leon bitterly smiled as he touched his long white beard.
"Who is this child, son, and what the hell are you doing inside this barren village? It took me some time to track your location, but finally, I am able to sense your presence, "Leon said as he looked yohan.
Hearing his grandpa's words, sadness appeared on yohan's face, but before he opened his mouth, another figure blasted on the ground, old man lin also descended from the sky. Still, before he cursed yohan for his sudden disappearance from the hundred poison valley, his gaze landed on the girl who was grabbing yohan like the baby of a monkey.
"Who is that kid, and what the hell are you doing inside this deserted village." old man lin asked the same question as old man Leon asked him a few moments ago.
"She is Amelia, and this village is her home."
