Gulp— Gulp—
Ryan was almost choked to death by the forced pouring. He quickly threw away the bottle and stared with dead fish eyes, saying,
"I won't die. Why are you so worried about me? I've cultivated my physique, and I also have special abilities like 'Flesh Catastrophic'. It's impossible for me to die, okay?"
Visibly.
Ryan activated "Flesh Catastrophic".
The big hole pierced through his chest began to heal little by little.
The torn right hand, under his interference and control, slowly grew pink and tender granulation from the arm.
Coupled with the boost provided by the recovery potion, his body quickly burst out with vigorous vitality.
Lefty grinned and said arrogantly, "Hmph, who's worried about you? Remember! You promised me strawberry cakes and a big compensation. If you forget, it'll be very dangerous!"
Ryan smiled and adjusted his monocle with two cracks on it, saying,
"Don't worry. I'll definitely fill you up."
Lefty: "???!"
Seeing that Lefty was about to rush up ferociously and bite off his nose, Ryan quickly grabbed Lefty's wrist and pressed it down with difficulty, then turned his head and said,
"Stop messing around! Things haven't been dealt with yet!"
"Alice should have already killed that fierce ghost, but the truth often brings not warmth but greater hatred. If Alice loses her sanity and wants to kill us, then we'll be in danger!"
Lefty immediately became vigilant and said, "Should I run first? You stay behind?"
Ryan resolutely ignored the suggestion put forward by Lefty and quickly regained his composure, his eyes quickly searching around.
And at the next moment.
In that rolling rubble, his eyes caught a figure.
His pupils contracted.
Because he recognized it.
That figure was exactly the body of Alice that he had sewn together piece by piece before. Had it not been buried under the rubble? Or...
Ryan remained calm and slowly walked towards that figure.
The girl was sitting curled up on the rubble with her back to him. Her body was covered with cracks crisscrossed by the stitches for sewing the corpse. The golden hair that had been cut off had somehow grown back and was flowing down behind her.
As he gradually approached.
He slowly heard the suppressed sobbing.
Her body was so small, and since the moment she was dissected and the body was hidden, her body had never grown up again.
Ryan knew that Alice's consciousness had returned to this body that originally belonged to her.
[Warning! Warning! Extremely strong hatred fluctuation detected!]
[Warning! Leave immediately! Leave immediately!]
Soon, the system warnings rang in his ears.
Ryan stopped at a position ten meters away from her and just stared at her back from a distance.
The gloomy ghostly energy was like a bone-chilling icy pool. Even standing ten meters away, Ryan could feel his body starting to frost over.
The current Alice.
After that huge outburst of hatred and swallowing that fierce ghost, her current power was probably already at a level that he couldn't match.
She was now...
Probably even more terrifying than Lady in Blood.
Lefty warned, "Hey, don't just stand there stupidly. Hurry up and run. Before she attacks you, let's get away as far as we can!"
But Ryan didn't say a word. His eyes gradually calmed down.
He didn't leave.
Instead, under Lefty's astonished gaze, he took a step forward.
One step after another.
The bone-chilling cold was like a fierce winter, crazily stabbing every inch of his skin.
His legs were already covered with pale frost, and his cheeks were also slowly covered by bone-white frost.
[Warning! You are being invaded by ghostly energy!]
[Warning! Warning!]
But Ryan still remained calm and didn't retreat at all, moving forward step by step.
This short distance of ten meters was as difficult as trudging through a snowstorm for several days.
But he finally got close to the source of the frost.
He got close to the sobbing little girl.
He stretched out his frozen hand.
Gently placed it on her shoulder, as if whispering in the middle of a freezing winter, he said,
"Alice, it's all over."
"If you feel lonely, what I said before still counts."
"You can regard me as your family."
The wind was blowing wildly, blowing the ashes floating all over the sky and scattering them on the dilapidated rubble everywhere.
It was like the snow that never melted all year round.
Dyeing the ground a pale white.
Lefty was stunned.
...
A few minutes later.
The cold current began to recede, and the gloomy hatred also slowly disappeared.
In the rubble, Ryan was holding the little girl who had fallen asleep with her eyes closed in his arms and calmly walked out of the rubble step by step.
She seemed very tired. With her eyes closed, there were still tear stains on her face, and one hand was tightly grasping the front of Ryan's clothes.
It seemed that after falling into this Dark World, it was the first time that she had fallen asleep peacefully.

Click— Click—
Ryan closed his eyes and ground his teeth with a clicking sound.
This—damn—system—ahhh!
This guy must have been a super pervert with strange tastes before becoming his system!
What's with "Luring the Innocent Little Lolita"! This is clearly "A kind and loving doctor big brother's perfect healing for a little sister who has been haunted by resentment for a long time"!
How did it become "luring the innocent little lolita" when it came out of this damn system's mouth?!
Am I, Ryan, that kind of person?
It's okay if you don't give an award to the true, good, and beautiful in my heart, but you even maliciously slandered your own host. It's really too much!
(〃´ 皿 `) q
It's simply unforgivable!
Lefty raised her hand, glanced at the sleeping Alice in Ryan's arms, then looked at him and muttered,
"It's a bit outrageous... How dare you? Aren't you afraid of being killed by her? Her current power is super terrifying!"
Ryan curled the corner of his mouth and smiled, saying,
"Because I'm a doctor. Before the employment relationship ends, it's impossible for me to abandon my patient. Moreover..."
He raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Since I've already promised this girl, I can't break my word! Understand?"
Lefty was stunned.
Suddenly, it seemed that this guy was quite cool!
And he even looked a little bit handsome. Was this really his true face?
Was he so... kind and loving?
