Ryan: "..."
No!
This damn system can't stay! It can't stay anymore!
...
Outside the castle.
In the distance in the darkness, Bloodsaw and Lady Doll were looking at the scene in the rubble from afar, and a trace of gratified smile also appeared on their faces.
Bloodsaw stretched his shoulders comfortably, and the corners of his mouth were raised so high that he could hardly suppress them.
"How about it? Was I right? What is a real man's apprentice like? This is it. Compared with your daughters, my apprentice is clearly a cut above them, hahahaha—"
Lady Doll was holding the surging thing in her arms. She glanced at Bloodsaw's expression that couldn't hide his intention to show off, and her smile became even brighter.
"Yeah! He's really excellent!"
Such an outstanding boy really made it hard to suppress the restlessness in one's heart!
He must be quickly married into the family!
No!
Changed my mind!
Such a good young man, just having the seventh daughter is definitely not allowed!
The eldest, the second, the third, and the fourth daughters should all be together! It would be really nice if the mother-in-law could dote on him well too! (*≧▽≦)!
[Ding! Lady Doll's favorability towards you +10]
[Ding! Lady Doll's favorability towards you +10]
[Ding! Lady Doll's favorability towards you +10]
[Ding! Ding! Ding...]
Inside the castle, Ryan stood up with a confused look on his face and looked around.
What's going on?
Why did Lady Doll's favorability suddenly increase so much for no reason?
Could it be that she's nearby?
Apart from the life-sized doll waiting to be shipped, he really didn't want to have any more contact with her at all!
After looking around blankly for a while without finding anything, Ryan had to shake his head and put it behind him.
...
There was no way to get out of this ancient castle.
Ryan regained his thoughtful expression. Holding the sleeping Alice in his arms, he had already tried many times.
Although she had indeed become much stronger.
However, as an earth-bound spirit, her range of activities was still restricted, and she couldn't really get out of here.
Ryan thought for a while and then activated his diagnostic ability on her again.
[Ding! You've activated the Random Diagnosis Skill (Passive). You've discovered the target's illness: Hatred (Temporarily Suppressed)]
[Ding! You've discovered the target's illness 2: Earth-bound Curse]
[Ding! You've discovered the target's illness 3: Fierce Ghost Curse (Temporarily Cleared)]
Ryan pondered.
That is to say, his curse-clearing ability only helped her temporarily clear one of the curses on her body, just like Lady in Blood.
But the curse of the earth-bound spirit still remained in her body and couldn't be eradicated, right?
And if that's the case.
Then when the cooldown time is over, he can indeed temporarily clear her earth-bound spirit curse and take her out of this ancient castle.
Although it's only for one day, it's better than nothing.
Ryan rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.
No way!
His time-limited curse ability requires too much. Lady in Blood desires it, his revolver also needs it, and now Alice has also become one of the people who need his help.
Not to mention that if he encounters some special situations in the future or sees Little's parents again, he also has to keep the cooldown time available.
"Can't it satisfy several at once?"
Ryan (〃´ 皿 `) q.
It's so uncomfortable to deal with them one by one! There will definitely be more and more people who need me, the doctor, to heal and take care of in the future!
While Ryan was brainstorming.
He seemed to vaguely hear shouts coming from somewhere, but because the wind was too strong, he didn't hear clearly.
"You can't get out."
At this moment.
The girl in his arms said softly with her eyes closed.
Ryan was startled and looked at Alice, who was covered with stitches all over her body. She was so light, as light as a feather.
She still had her eyes closed, leaning in Ryan's arms, and whispered like in a dream.
"Alice... died here... an evil spirit..."
"Can never leave here..."
Her voice was very low, as low as the buzzing of a mosquito.
Ryan's expression slowly regained its composure.
He closed his eyes.
At this moment, he finally made that choice.
Swish—
He flipped out the reward he had obtained in a previous task between his fingers.
[Skill Enhancement Scroll]
Since there's hope.
How can it be casually wiped away?
Don't you think so?
[Ding! You are using the Skill Enhancement Scroll on your skill "Time-limited Curse Clearing Ability". Do you want to proceed immediately?]
"Yes!"
Buzz—
The card in his hand instantly turned into specks of light and seeped into his eyes.
[Ding! Your skill "Time-limited Curse Clearing Ability" has successfully completed its first advancement.]
[Time-limited Curse Clearing Ability +1]
[Introduction]: You can temporarily clear the curses attached to the target. The number of times has increased to 2, the duration remains at 24 hours, and the cooldown time has increased to 13 hours.
[Friendly Reminder]: More enhancements and advancements can further improve your mastery of the ability. Wish you can master all your abilities as soon as possible.
Ryan quickly glanced at the prompt, and his attention was immediately attracted by the number "2".
He was overjoyed.
Sure enough, it was just as he guessed!
Since it's skill enhancement, what can be improved must be related to "duration", "cooldown time", and "number of times".
And he guessed right. After the enhancement, it did give him one more chance to use it.
If that's the case, then he can handle two at once, right?!
Ryan quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Alice's closed eyes in his arms and smiled, saying,
"That's not necessarily true. I'm a doctor, and of course I can take you out of here! At least for now!"
In an instant.
He activated the time-limited curse clearing ability on Alice.
Buzz—
One chain-like curse after another emerged from Alice's body and was then immediately sucked into Ryan's hands by a powerful suction force with a whoosh.
Alice immediately felt her whole body become lighter.
She opened her cracked eyes in shock, and her eyes were full of confusion.
And at the next moment.
Ryan held her and took a firm step towards the boundary of the ancient castle.
"No!"
Alice's lips trembled subconsciously, and her little hand suddenly grasped Ryan's arm tightly and closed her eyes hard.
Obviously, she was afraid.
Because for an earth-bound spirit, trying to forcibly leave the area that binds them will obviously bring them great pain.
But the next moment.
That huge pain didn't come.
And she also clearly felt that she had already left the area of the ancient castle.
She finally opened her eyes in a daze and looked blankly at the Departed Soul Street in front of her and the broken gate of the ancient castle behind her.
It seemed that time had stopped...
