Mr. Crow could feel his soul almost leaving his body after hearing Lana's words.
For a moment, he had the urge to slap her hard, but he, too, realized he was feeling paralyzed.
He could only murmur, "Why does not even one of our adventures end without some kind of mishap?"
Hearing that, Lana sighed and muttered, "I don't know either. It just… happens."
Meanwhile, the ghost children, as if enjoying Lana's misery, suddenly burst into unsettling laughter.
One of them giggled, "Sister has also fallen into our trap!"
Lana clenched her fists and glared at them.
"Why are you all so thrilled? Shouldn't children like you at least feel some pity for me? I came here to help you."
The children tilted their heads simultaneously, an unnatural, eerie motion, before laughing even harder.
Suddenly, Lana watched in horror as their heads began to drop from their bodies.
