[Ding! You've obtained a fragment of Alice x1]
But at this very moment, a ferocious voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What are you... looking for?"
Ryan suddenly turned his head.
Only to find that the little girl was already standing behind him. At this moment, her body was burning with raging flames, and her expression was no longer as blank as before but was full of ferocity.
Ryan knew that the evil spirit at present was the very one who had caused all of this back then!
The burned witch! Alice's biological mother.
Whoosh—
In an instant, the girl raised her hand ferociously, and Ryan was immediately choked by an invisible force and lifted into the air.
Ryan gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled a smile on his face.
"Alice! I'm... looking for your corpse!"
The ferocious expression on the girl's face suddenly froze, and her broken eyeballs suddenly twitched.
"I'm your doctor... Of course... If you really want... we can also become..."
"Family!"
In front of his eyes, he immediately saw the panels of Alice and Lady Mary start switching at a high frequency.
And this was the only way for Ryan to judge who he was facing.
And taking advantage of this opportunity.
Ryan roared, "Lefty!!"
And almost at the moment when he shouted Lefty's name!
Almost as if they had a tacit understanding!
His left hand suddenly melted into countless black mucus, which flowed down to the ground with a whoosh.
One baby after another climbed out of the mucus, wailing, filling the entire hall with that mentally disturbing shriek.
"Ah————"
With a shrill scream.
The girl immediately let go of the force that was choking Ryan and covered her ears forcefully. Under the large-scale mental pollution, she began to collapse continuously.
Ryan didn't hesitate at all.
He quickly gathered Lefty back, gritted his teeth, and shot out all his tentacles, crazily rushing towards the direction of the kitchen.
Because there was the last fragment of Alice!
And from the moment he understood that he was facing a dual fierce ghost and that the entire castle was composed of curses, he knew that the fierce ghost definitely couldn't be dealt with by his current power!
Because it was hatred!
It was resentment!
It wasn't something that could be eliminated by physical means!
And in his hands, besides Lefty's mental pollution, he basically didn't have many ways to deal with evil spirits and curses.
Although the time-limited curse ability could be activated.
Ryan knew that if the hatred and resentment didn't decrease, it couldn't have a substantial impact on them at all!
Because hatred and resentment were the main factors!
"I'll kill you!"
Rushing into the corridor, Ryan immediately heard the ferocious shriek coming from behind.
And the corridor in front of Ryan instantly changed and was burning with raging flames. The blood-red flames rolled towards him.
And behind him, the girl, who had already gotten rid of the pollution, was ferocious and already very close.
At this moment.
Ryan didn't say anything more. He suddenly stretched out his hand and took out the reward he had just obtained.
[The Witch's Veil!]
The moment he put on the veil, Ryan bravely rushed into the raging burning fire.
One step forward, burning; one step forward, disappearing and reappearing!
One tentacle after another firmly clung to the surrounding walls and then suddenly propelled him forward.
But almost at the moment when he was about to reach the kitchen.
Ryan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He immediately felt the scalding yet icy touch on his back.
A blood hand directly passed through his back without any hindrance and grasped his beating heart.
The intense burning sensation coming from his heart.
It seemed that it was going to burn his whole body to ashes.
At this moment.
Ryan didn't hesitate at all. He suddenly pulled out the Night Demon Knife, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it through his own chest from the front. The Night Demon Knife smeared with the evil spirit manifestation potion pierced through that hand at the moment when it was about to crush his heart.
A sharp roar of an evil spirit came from behind.
Ryan rolled on the ground violently. The severed blood hand of the shrieking little girl behind him instantly recovered.
His stab didn't cause any substantial damage to her at all.
"Focus!"
Just at the moment when the fierce ghost was about to rush over and tear him to pieces, Ryan punched the Focusing Eye into his own eye socket and ferociously activated the skill of his left eye.
Buzz—
In an instant, the surging curse brought by the pitch-black pupil made the whole body of the fierce ghost start to melt instantly.
The shrill screams echoed throughout the entire corridor.
But Ryan knew.
Even the Focusing Eye could only hold her back for a while!
Because this entire castle was formed by Alice's hatred and resentment. She was the earth-bound spirit here. As long as the castle existed, she couldn't be eliminated!
And now, the fierce ghost and Alice shared the curse and resentment here!
Ryan gritted his teeth.
He suddenly shot out a tentacle, pulled himself, and rushed into the kitchen at the fastest speed.
And as soon as he stepped in, Ryan found that the whole kitchen had already been burning. Those butcher's knives and spoons that were chopping vegetables with a thumping sound were also screaming shrilly as they burned in the flames.
But in the deepest part of the kitchen, the pig-headed butcher seemed to be completely unaware of the changes around him and was still stirring the thick soup in his pot.
He and the surrounding scene seemed so out of place.
Ryan gritted his teeth and rushed over vigorously.
"You came?"
The pig-headed butcher turned around and glanced at him, then said faintly,
"The soup is already cooked. I promised to let you taste a bowl. Are you ready?"
He turned around, holding a bowl of thick soup in his hand, which gave off a strong fragrance.
And in front of Ryan's eyes, the introduction of that bowl of soup immediately appeared.
[Unfinished Heart and Brain Soup]: A thick soup made by mixing a kind heart with an evil brain. After drinking it, you will randomly obtain a piece of knowledge and randomly receive a curse.
Ryan was stunned.
His gaze was fixed on the bowl of soup.
And at that moment, he saw a brain and a heart floating in the soup in the pot.
Alice's heart!
It was also the last remaining fragment of the puzzle!
But why was it here...
Seeming to notice Ryan's confusion, the pig-headed butcher said faintly, "That's a very rare material and also a rare kind heart in this Dark World. However, because it has been soaked in too much malice, it doesn't meet my requirements."
"This pot of soup is a failure."
Ryan immediately stood up and said deeply,
"Can you give me that heart? I can make a deal with you!"
The pig-headed butcher said faintly, "Do you want to use that heart to dissolve the little girl's hatred?"
Ryan adjusted his monocle and said calmly, "I'm a doctor, and I've accepted the client's commission."
