If a way could be found to make Alice realize all of this, perhaps the fierce ghost fused with her could be separated!
In an instant, he activated "Flesh Catastrophic", and an evil spirit's vertical eye immediately appeared on his forehead. As soon as he opened this evil spirit's vertical eye, he saw the heavy curse marks on the second-floor corridor. He hadn't paid attention to them before, but now he could clearly sense that the curse marks here were much heavier than in other places.
And there were more than one such places in the entire castle!
That is to say, something with extremely heavy resentment must have happened in these areas back then.
"Maybe..." In an instant, Ryan gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped.
[Remnants of the Past!]
When used on a living being, it can reproduce their state at a certain point in the past.
What if it was used on an entire area?!
Could it also reproduce the scene at that time?!
[Ding! You are activating "Remnants of the Past" on the target area. Do you want to proceed immediately?]
"Yes!"
[Please set the time point to be reproduced.]
"Before the castle fell into the Dark World, on the day Alice was killed!"
Ryan gritted his teeth. He didn't know the exact time and could only make a fuzzy positioning, but this was the only way he could find to seek information at present.
"Remnants of the Past! Activate!"
Ryan gritted his teeth and pressed his ten fingers firmly on the ground.
The dazzling light enveloped the entire burning corridor. And just at that moment, the raging flames disappeared, and instead, it became a dark corridor.
Ryan knew that the reproduction was successful!
In the dark corridor, the scene of the rainy night when Alice was killed appeared.
"You have to let Alice know your ugly faces because she still has hope for you in her heart!"
"No, this is not advisable. You have to let Alice understand that you are all evil spirits in human skins. Go, tell Alice... that you are all butchers."
The hoarse voice of the curse echoed throughout the entire corridor.
In the picture, Carmell, the hostess, and the boy all had crazy and violent expressions on their faces.
They were carrying butcher's knives and walked excitedly and ferociously through the corridor towards the tall tower under the bewitching whispers of the curse.
Ryan quickly adjusted the time backwards.
Sounds of wailing and painful screams that rang through the night sky came from the tall tower.
And when the three of them appeared in the corridor again, they still had that trance-like expression of being sick and violent, but they were already covered in blood, and their blades were dyed red.
Drops of blood.
Dripped from the baskets in their hands, one by one, dyeing the entire corridor red.
"Hide it... Hide my wailing daughter... In the wall... In the hall... In the fireplace... Do you hear me... My daughter finally saw your true faces... She hates you... She hates you..."
The voice of the curse filled the entire corridor.
Then there were figures chiseling the ground, and at that moment, Ryan finally saw clearly the things in those three baskets...
Whoosh—
"Remnants of the Past" failed, and the picture returned to the currently burning corridor again.
And seeing that scene, even Ryan felt a burst of anger burning in his heart.
He quickly rushed to the corner where they buried the body at that time.
He punched and smashed the rotten floor open.
Under the floor, he saw a little hand that was still bleeding.
Hatred.
Made the corpse unable to decay.
And in this entire castle, fragments of such corpses were everywhere!
[Ding! You've obtained a fragment of Alice's corpse x1]
Was this the reason for the spread of the curse?
Just because of jealousy?!
Just because of viciousness?!
Was it so cruel that even her own daughter had to become a tool for revenge?!
Ryan gritted his teeth and quickly rushed towards the staircase leading to the lower floor when the raging flames were spreading towards him.
She wanted her own daughter to become a fierce ghost like her!
She wanted her own daughter to personally destroy this Happy Home for her!
Ryan kept rushing towards one area with a strong curse after another and began to cast "Remnants of the Past" continuously, piecing together the various truths.
"Dear, I feel something is wrong. It seems that Alice hasn't eaten for several days, but I remember we had lunch together at noon today... And that child... She seems to be very afraid of me..."
"I swear, I didn't abuse Alice! I know you feel guilty about her mother's death. I... I've actually been trying hard to accept her, but I never thought she would be a witch... But anyway, the merciful Virgin Mary... wouldn't let me vent my unhappiness on a child..."
"No... No... I seem to forget a lot of things... Why is there blood on my hands... Hair... This is Alice's...
How could it be... I... I seem to remember nothing..."
"Damn it! I hit her, I... I cut her hair, Merciful Virgin Mary, please... please forgive me, I don't know how I could... I... I seem to hate her very much, yes! So much hatred! She is the child of that witch, that witch bewitched my husband, and her child also... also deserves to die!"
In one reproduced scene after another, Ryan saw how the hostess changed under the curse of that fierce ghost.
From a merciful godmother at the beginning, she gradually became a vicious and hateful woman.
And during that period of time, Count Carmell and their eldest son also changed at the same time.
"How could I give such an order... She is my daughter, how could I allow her to be locked in a cage... I... Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Am I crazy... I seem to... Ah—Ah—Ah!"
"My son how did he change too? He has always been an upright child! But he is actually torturing and killing... those small animals... He seems to go to the freezer and the tall tower more and more frequently... Did he bring a gift for Alice? I hope... I hope it's not what I think..."
"I'm crazy! I've gone mad. I feel like I'm under a curse! Ah—Ah—Ah! Come at me! Come at me if you have anything! Don't let me abuse my daughter!"
In the reproduced room, the reproduced picture froze in Count Carmell's hysterical roar.
And that was also the last time they showed their clear sanity.
After that, they never woke up again.
Their wills had been completely distorted and sick under the curse of that fierce ghost.
And one could imagine.
After all three of them were completely affected by the curse, what kind of terrible torture and bad news Alice suffered during that period of time.
[Ding! You've obtained a fragment of Alice's corpse x1]
[Ding! You've obtained a fragment of Alice's corpse x2]
[Ding! You've obtained a fragment of Alice's corpse x5]
Ryan gritted his teeth and quickly moved around in the constantly collapsing castle, constantly collecting the fragments of Alice who had been dissected back then in various places.
That's why there was resentment!
That's why she wanted family company so much!
Even after becoming an evil spirit, she still wanted to seek happiness so much.
Was this everything you hoped for in your heart?!
Boom—
Ryan punched and smashed a floor tile in the corner of the hall to pieces and saw the half of the girl's head that was still bleeding and crying under the floor.
