Chapter 74: Chapter 74 - A long-lost girl

Silence ensued around the dining table as Lily and Number 3 kept staring at each other. Number 3 was waiting for Lily to collect her thoughts and calm down a bit before she would force her to recount her experiences.

Several minutes passed in silence until Number 3 finally spoke up.

"Lily, if you feel you have calmed down enough, start by telling what happened after you got out of your illusion. From our end, everything seemed fine at that point. Make sure you don't miss even the smallest detail."

Clenching her hands into fists, Lily nodded. Wiping away the tears that started gathering in her eyes, she looked at her with a determined gaze.

"Not much happened until Aiden arrived if I'm being honest." She started. "After I bled out from my wounds, I suddenly felt that something pulled me and in the next moment I was drifting in the black swirling tunnel only to fall down to the red dirt just in front of the Old Hermit."
