All my efforts were in vain, only able to witness myself passing through my mom's body time and time again.
Watching her hopelessly close her eyes before me.
"Miss, there's something down there."
"Looks like a corpse."
"Alec's really stepped up his game, knowing how to put on a full show now."
"Pull it up, I want to see exactly what kind of trick he's trying to pull!"
Vivienne snorted coldly with disdain.
But her mocking expression froze the moment her gaze fell upon a certain spot.
Suddenly, hope sparked within me.
Vivienne saw it, could she uncover the truth?
Seeing my mom being rescued alongside, I was on the verge of tears of joy.
Half a mutilated corpse along with a magic box were fished out, quietly laid on the shore.
The flesh was covered in marks from fish nibbling, even with clumps of mud and river weeds clinging to it.
It looked utterly revolting.
"Vivienne, big brother Alec really went all out to make you believe, huh?"
