Chapter 1575: Chapter 1575: That’s My Mom
Opening the door, through the entrance, entering the living room.
Aria Jackson divided the team into three groups: one was responsible for installing bombs, another for ensuring the safety of the installation crew, and the last led by her, headed to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Reaching the stairway corner, they saw black tar-like sticky liquid seeping down the stairs, just the sight made their scalps tingle.
Moving further, the corridor floor was almost covered with black liquid, leaving no place to step.
Cherry, being brave, tried stepping on it and laughed, “Hey? Seems okay.”
Aria sighed in relief, “It might be the protective suit isolating us, everyone still needs to be cautious, try not to expose your skin to the air.”
The others echoed their agreement.
Continuing further in, the liquid became more abundant, the floor was slippery, and they proceeded with increasing caution.
Throughout, cries for help persisted intermittently from the bedroom.
The door was open, and Aria led the crew in.
Despite being mentally prepared, the scene before her still caused her heart to clench tightly!
Too tragic…
So many… so many shriveled corpses, soaked in a thick sticky liquid all over the place, most even had their eyes open, expressions retaining the terror of their last moments.
Aria tried her best not to make eye contact with the deceased, calming herself, standing with the SWAT officers at the doorway to survey the room, she confirmed there were no survivors.
At this moment, the head growing from Moissanite’s neck slightly changed.
It struggled, as if trying to emerge from Moissanite’s body, straining its head upwards, shoulder and neck twisting, emitting a creaking sound.
Aria and her teammates almost simultaneously raised their guns, ready to give it a few bullets anytime!
“Wait!” Aria, startled, called out to stop.
The originally blurred face of the woman gradually became clear, eventually turning into a middle-aged woman!
Cherry was surprised, “Hey? Why does the witch from the Kalinga Kingdom look like someone from our country?”
“Damn!” Aria swore through gritted teeth, looking extremely grim, “That’s my mom!”
Everyone was shocked!
“Did the witch also eat your mom?!” Cherry was even more surprised.
Aria replied, “No! My mom died long ago!”
She raised her gun, aiming at the witch’s head, gnashing her teeth, “This is fake!”
The expected gunshot didn’t happen.
Aria aimed for a long time, finally lowering her arm helplessly, looking on complexly.
Couldn’t do it…
Facing her biological mother’s face, she truly couldn’t do it.
“Help… help…”
The cries for help echoed in the room filled with corpses, making Aria’s face turn even more unsightly.
Even the voice sounded exactly like her mom’s!
A SWAT officer hesitated, “Seems to be coming from her mouth.”
“But her mouth isn’t moving…”
Everyone felt horrified.
Aria decided to retreat immediately.
Since there were no hostages to rescue here, there was no need to linger.
Just as they were about to leave, the woman’s head seemed to realize that neither her change nor the voice worked, and began to change again… this time, the face became a man’s.
“… Nathaniel Summers?” Cherry was stunned.
Aria also knew Nathaniel Summers, but the Nathaniel in her memory didn’t possess such breathtakingly handsome looks as the face before her.
Upon further thought, Aria understood: the witch’s shapeshifted appearance was actually what both she and Cherry had in mind.
Nathaniel was just an ordinary man to Aria, even somewhat annoying, but in Cherry’s mind, he was an idealized figure.
As for why it transformed into Aria’s mom and Nathaniel specifically, it was because the encounter on the stairs had touches that reached Aria and Cherry.
Afraid Cherry might do something foolish, Aria grabbed her hand and began to retreat.
“Nathaniel” intermittently called out, “Cherry… come… come here…”
