Chapter 851: Drum Made of Human Skin
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ery continued, “I searched for a long time, but I couldn’t find my sister even when it was dark. I kept crying. Mom got impatient and stuffed a little bear into my hands, saying that my sister had left it for me. She also said that my sister had left with someone far away to enjoy life and wouldn’t come back to this poor place.”
At this point, Ery couldn’t help but cry. She pursed her lips and said stubbornly, “But I don’t believe it!” Her sister wouldn’t leave her behind. Absolutely not!
From that day onwards, Ery searched the entire ranch, the gra.s.sland, and found the high mountains on the coast and the coast from the gra.s.sland. She hugged the rag doll her sister had left for her and searched in fear. When she was hungry, she ate some gra.s.s. When she was thirsty, she lay in a low-lying puddle and drank some water. The rag doll silently accompanied her, turning from clean to dirty.
“How did you know that this doll was a gift from your sister?” Amelia couldn’t help but ask.
Ery shook her head. “I don’t know, but Mom said that my sister left this for me, so I believe that she left it for me.” She touched the doll. “Because my sister said that she would give me a doll on my birthday.” My sister also said that she would sew the doll herself and pick cotton herself.
“Did you find your sister later?” The flirtatious ghost looked at the doll in Ery’s arms and could not help but ask.
Ery stroked the rag doll in her arms and said faintly, “I found her. I couldn’t find my sister by the sea. I thought that her sister might have gone home and was waiting for me at home. So I was very anxious to set foot on the road home…” However, she had been wandering outside for too long and almost couldn’t find the way home, but at this moment…
“I hear a very nice drumbeat,” Ery said. “That drum seems to speak. It’s my sister’s voice.” Although her sister was mute and had never spoken, Ery felt that it was her voice.
“That’s my sister calling me home. She’s looking for me too.” Following the drums, Ery kept walking until the soles of her feet were blistered. Even one of her toenails had been ground off. Finally, she saw a lot of people around a drum. She saw them kneeling piously and beating.
“I recognized it immediately. That drum was my sister,” Ery said faintly. “It was my sister’s skin, made into a drum.”
Amelia and the others were caught off guard when they heard this. They felt their blood run cold! A drum made of human skin?
Ery continued, “Where we were from, everyone’s skin is tanned. Only my sister’s skin is white, soft, and delicate…”
The flirtatious ghost couldn’t help but ask, “But how are you sure that it’s… a drum made of human skin? Maybe it’s another skin? Like sheepskin or something?”
Ery was stubborn. “I’m sure! Because the drums sound like my sister’s voice!”
The ghosts were speechless.
Ery’s sister was mute, but she said that the drums were her sister’s voice. Could this be the telepathy between sisters?
Ery’s eyes gradually filled with tears. “I saw the men who used to come to our house in the crowd.” They hugged the drum and caressed it lovingly after the crowd dispersed.
“I also heard the secret they said. They said that the Phantom Drum was top-notch. They chose a girl who had never experienced love. This way, the drum made would be the purest and most beautiful. It would be even better if this girl was mute, because mutes could not lie, and their souls would not be tainted. They said that the girl with this skin was completely up to their standards. She was also very beautiful, and her skin was white and delicate. The drum made of such human skin could reach the sky and travel a few kilometers.” As Ery spoke, she shed tears. “They were talking about my sister!” Her sister was pure and beautiful, and she was also mute. She rushed forward to call her sister, but she was beaten out by the men. They seemed to be afraid that she would expose them, so they planned to kill her.
In the darkness, Ery heard her sister’s voice. Her sister told her to run and took her into a cave. She escaped the men, but they took her sister.
“In order to find my sister, I found them again and secretly followed behind them.” It was also at this moment that Ery knew what the Phantom Drum was. The Phantom Drum was also called the Sister Drum. They said that this drum could be used with life and death to transcend reincarnation. It was mainly used to wors.h.i.+p the G.o.ds and pray for the protection of the G.o.ds. They had to choose the skin of girls who had never experienced human love. It was best f they couldn’t speak. They had to skin her while she was alive to make the best drum.
