Alex acted obliviously. “I didn’t notice…”
Shirley interrupted him. “I already saw you in my mind. Why are you still lying? Tell me, is that little girl… Me?”
Upon hearing this, Alex knew that he couldn’t lie any longer, but this wasn’t his fault. He knew well that Shirley got in contact with a small green tree. The soul hiding in the tree had been waiting for quite some time to possess someone. She had entered Shirley’s mind and found that memory that had been locked away, usingit for her gains.
In other terms, she managed to release this memory. Even if Alex didn’t touch that memory of hers, she would remember it herself within a short time.
“I think you should ask your father or your grandfather!” Alex replied, admitting to knowing about that memory.
Shirley fell silent. Then after a long pause, she pointed at the corpse at the side. “I want her clothes.”
Alex nodded. “You deserve it.”
Shirley had contributed quite a lot during this fight. She basically gave her all. Alex couldn’t have succeeded in killing Alyssa if Shirley didn’t hold her off without caring about the consequences. She even managed to take off her helmet.
Shirley immediately went to take Alyssa’s red battle outfit as her own, whereas Alex checked on her finger bones. As expected, he found a small, delicate ring on her index finger. It was a storage ring that could be used in this realm.
Using his divine conscience to enter the ring, he was extremely shocked to see the treasures inside. It was rather spacious, ten times bigger than the one currently on him.
There were quite a lot of resources there. There were even more battle suits that looked like the one she was wearing. Moreover, there were another two airships, along with pulls, weapons, books, and scrolls…
Alex flipped through the books, but they were all illegible, like the ones he got a while ago. However, he found just what he wanted within those scrolls. It was about their language.
Alex was confused. ‘Why would the alien lady bring this with her? Is it to help others learn the language of their hometown?’
‘Thirteen variations of bone patterns.’
‘A brief introduction to the Underworld…’
After understanding what the books were talking about, Alex was overjoyed. It was the information he urgently needed.
At the time, Shirley had already taken off Alyssa’s armor, trying them on herself… Yet she was met with the sad truth.
Alyssa was a medium-sized woman. Her skeletal frame was around five foot five. Shirley, however, was nearly as tall as a horse. She was already six feet tall without any footwear. Her bones were quite big as well, so none of the armor fit.
She was helpless and frustrated about this. In the end, she threw the battle suit to the ground.
