Lilly had always been by Zachary’s side to secretly protect him. She simply moved her hands and drew a talisman to hide herself. The female spirit seemed to forget about Lilly’s existence; she focused on eating Zachary’s soul. The vitality fire on his forehead would stand out if I continued to scare him. It might not be easy, but once I did it, I could completely take over his body. She could hide inside his body to let him go through the torment of being steam even if she did not manage to level up and leave.
Suddenly, there were a lot of noises around her! She tensed up, as it was the exact time of her being steam-steamed ten years ago! She could not care about Zachary’s still-lit vitality fire; she just dashed toward him. She was terrified; all she knew was that she must hide in his body and let him be tortured in her place.
Zachary merely felt tired and his eyelids were heavy; he felt like he had not slept for days playing video games. He started to doze off, but the next moment he saw the female spirit dashing right toward him! His eyes widened, and his first thought was to run! But his body went straight to the spirit instead. He thought to himself, I’m done for. My body is being controlled; it’s not mine anymore.

When he woke up again, he realized he was surrounded by villagers. But they stood far away and looked at him with fear. A man in his thirties and a woman in her fifties were grabbing each other's arms. Who are they? He felt that his head was heavy. He thought that everything looked similar; there was a tree far away, and it seemed like the tree that Lilly and he rested at today. But it was a lot smaller. The yard was also familiar, like the old yard just now. But it did not have a fence; the one in front of him had a fence. The villagers were peeking over the fence.
Maybe I’m in someone else’s yard? But why did they capture me? Aren’t I and Lilly in that old house just now? Why am I suddenly here? And where is Lilly?
