Chapter 47: The Witch (5)
Perhaps because Elrond had hidden in the safe house, the curse could not be transmitted properly. This angered Kelly, and she began taking revenge on everyone involved in the matter.
The first to be affected were those connected to the perjury.
Among the four families who had orchestrated the plan, only Elrond’s parents were spared due to the protection of exorcists. The parents of the other three deceased students, however, were caught up in a series of bizarre accidents and ended up in the ICU.
The homeroom teacher of the neighboring class, who had been bribed by the parents, somehow mistook shattered glass for ice while drinking water in the office. As he chewed the shards along with the water, by the time he was discovered, his mouth was full of blood, his tongue torn into a mangled mess of flesh.
Others who had been bribed—the police officers, the school principal, the students who gave false testimony—also received their respective punishments. Some lost their teeth and could no longer speak; some had their hands broken, becoming disabled. The injuries were countless and varied.
Because these were real, physical injuries, even the exorcists brought in by the Kingsley family were powerless against this kind of revenge.
Kelly’s anger was endless. After punishing those connected to the perjury, the unlucky next targets were those involved in b*llying.
Those who had beaten and tormented Kelly along with the four-member group screamed in pain as countless rotting, foul scars appeared on their faces and bodies. Those who had insulted or mocked her suffered decaying mouths and throat sores, unable to speak harsh words or vent malice. Those who had turned a blind eye to Kelly’s cries for help had blood-tinged tears streaming from their eyes and were temporarily blinded…
Batch after batch of students “fell ill” and had to take leave for various reasons. Gradually, the number of students in the school dwindled. Especially in the neighboring class—its homeroom teacher had been hospitalized due to mental breakdown, and only two or three students remained. They were directly merged into Everly’s class to attend lessons together.
