With the triggering of the task.
The pale little girl slowly turned her head, revealing her deathly pale cheeks and eyes that were covered with cracks.
"Brother... be my... family... The mommy and daddy you don't like... have already... given up..."
She slowly turned around and stretched out her little hand towards Ryan's direction blankly.
"Protect Alice... like you did to the old brother... Be Alice's new brother..."
"Doctor..."
"Shouldn't you... not let your patients... die..."
The vast coldness surged and filled the entire tall tower.
Even Ryan felt the coldness rising from the bottom of his heart.
Ryan maintained his calm expression on his face and asked, "Can you tell me why? Before you died, your parents and brother had been abusing you all the time, so that's why you became a fierce ghost after death?"
Alice said blankly, "No, it was I who abused them."
Buzz—
In an instant, the expression on Ryan's face froze.
Alice said blankly, "They... were such damned guys... They dared to make my little Alice... forget her biological mother..."
"Little Alice... was really happy... But the happier she was... the more I hated it..."
"Because these... should have been given to Alice by me..."
No!
Ryan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He immediately opened the target's system panel again.
[Lady Mary]
[Race]: Fierce Ghost
[Alignment]: Chaotic Evil
[Combat Ability]: A huge curse derived from extreme hatred!
[Introduction]: A witch who was burned to death during the Witch Hunt. She was once the mistress of Count Carmell, was good at black magic and curses, gave birth to a daughter with Count Carmell, was discovered when she tried to murder the countess out of jealousy, and was burned at the stake by the church. After death, she turned into a fierce ghost and possessed her own daughter. Jealousy and anger made her carry out vicious revenge on all the living people in the entire castle...
Sure enough!
Sure enough!
And his panel and Alice's panel were constantly switching at a high frequency.
That is to say, there were actually two evil spirits inside the body of this girl at present! One was the real Alice, and the other was this fierce ghost!
Whoosh—
A burnt smell suddenly came from her.
Ryan suddenly raised his head.
Large areas of burn marks slowly appeared on the little girl's blank face, and the stench of burning flesh came gurgling out.
"Alice is so cute... She has always been a very obedient daughter..."
"Hateful that Witch Hunt... I didn't manage to ruin that woman... And that hypocritical Carmell... How dare he betray me... Ah... And that boy... He was really disgusting to look at..."
"All of them are so hypocritical... Let Alice see their true faces... Let them become vicious... They should also become unfortunate..."
Ryan's pupils stared fixedly at the girl in front of him, and a huge chill surged on his body.
"Are you saying that it was you who made them change their personalities?!"
The little girl said blankly, "Ah... Alice can't be deceived..."
And at that instant, the panel in front of Ryan's eyes switched to Alice's panel again without any warning.
Her voice also changed again.
"Big brother..." The girl stretched out her hand towards him and said blankly,
"Be Alice's brother... They don't like me... If brother is nice to me... Alice will also be nice to... brother..."
That is to say.
That fierce ghost had actually merged with Alice long ago.
That is to say.
All the misfortunes of this little girl came from...
In an instant, the past of this castle flashed through his mind. The gentle father during the day, the virtuous mother, the brother who took care of her, and at night, they immediately changed their expressions.
They became cruel and furious, crazy and sick, abusive and cold.
It was like they were wearing masks.
The curse of misfortune shrouded the entire castle, and everyone had two faces.
Fear, fear day and night.
And all of this came from the misfortune imposed by the fierce ghost parasitic in her body...
"Don't you agree... Don't you agree to me..."
Alice walked towards Ryan step by step, with a blank look in her eyes.
And with each step she took, a piece of her flesh and blood shattered and fell to the ground with a whoosh, as if she was being dissected.
[Ding! Warning! Warning! The curse intensity is soaring! The curse intensity is soaring!]
[Host, escape immediately! Escape immediately!]
Accompanied by the sharp system prompts in his ears, at this moment, Ryan didn't hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth suddenly, and tentacles shot out from his shoulders with a whoosh, carrying him and running out quickly.
Because even without the system prompt, he had already felt it.
The fierce curse had reached a level that he couldn't bear!
And behind him.
The voice of the little girl with the blank look still kept ringing.
"Don't you agree to me..."
"Don't you want to be my brother..."
"Are you also going to abandon Alice..."
Boom— Boom—
The entire tall tower trembled. In the spiral staircase leading downwards, Ryan rushed down at a high speed. On both sides of the wall, one blood-red handprint after another constantly appeared.
The thick smell of blood surged from behind, the ground began to burn, and the torrent of scarlet blood flowed down the staircase behind him with a whoosh.
In the next moment.
Ryan rushed out of the tall tower.
And he immediately saw that on the city wall leading from the high platform to the outside, a raging blood-red flame had already burned.
On the high flagpole, Bai Yi, who was hanging there, looked at the strange changes in the castle in shock. When he saw Ryan rushing out of the tall tower, he immediately shouted in horror,
"Brother! What on earth is going on?!"
But Ryan didn't have time to pay attention to him now.
Because almost at the same time, the blood-red flame on the high platform turned into waves and surged towards him to submerge him.
Without any hesitation.
Ryan gritted his teeth and quickly rushed into the corridor where he had come from.
And he finally understood.
Why there was such a huge resentment that was powerful enough to shroud the entire castle and drag the whole castle into this Dark World.
Because this resentment came not only from that fierce ghost, but also from the dissected Alice!
The fusion of the two fierce ghosts.
Made their resentment and hatred almost reach the sky!
But there must be a way to cure it, because if there wasn't, the system would never have released the branch tasks!
Whoosh—
In the narrow corridor, countless hands swallowed by the castle rushed out, howling and blocking Ryan's way.
Ryan gritted his teeth and didn't have time to pay attention to them at all.
He took the chainsaw and tore those arms into pieces again.
There must be a way.
Because from the information he had obtained, Alice was completely unaware of it. She might not even know until her death that all of this was done by her biological mother!
She was resentful, but at the same time, she was also seeking happiness.
It was her biological mother who personally destroyed her entire childhood!
