Something's Wrong with My Love Simulation Game (Patreon)

Chapter 19: This is not an Otome Game world, this is Dark Soul!

"To deal with that thing, there's only one way." 

"First, lure the test subject out of the second-floor restroom, extract the soul from the test subject's body, and then insert the ghost's soul into it."

"Finally, finish it off with your arm crossbow." 

When it came to serious matters, Elora immediately became more serious. She was indeed the heir of the demon hunter lineage.

"But, isn't the test subject in the innermost room on the second floor?" 

"With that ghost blocking the way, how can we get to the test subject?"

Li Pai expressed his doubts.

"The test subject fears me." 

"I can climb up along the outside wall through the pipes and directly jump into the second-floor restroom." 

"If it sees me, it'll probably try to escape."

The female housekeeper rolled up her sleeves and explained her plan.

Li Pai nodded. It seemed like there was a chance with this approach.

"How are you feeling? Do you need to rest and recover?"

Li Pai looked at Elora. In the entire plan, she was the key. If they couldn't extract the soul from the test subject, they wouldn't be able to trap the ghost, let alone kill her.

Elora seemed to be slightly out of breath and her face was a bit flushed. Li Pai didn't know how her body was holding up.

"No time!" 

"We have to take her down before the ghost regains its strength." 

"Let's go, let's begin!"

Elora's eyes turned sharp. She was not a person to be trifled with.

Li Pai followed Elora as they headed towards the stairs. With each step he took, the compass in his chest trembled even more. A cold breath swept over him, making all the hairs on his body stand on end.

At a corner, Li Pai once again saw that terrifying mass of hair.

"Don't worry, I can handle it!"

Elora waved her hand and sprinkled some white powder. Suddenly, vines grew from her feet, growing rapidly and spreading towards the upper floor. The vines entangled with the black hair, engaged in a fierce battle.

Using the vines as a path, Elora successfully brought Li Pai to the second floor. The corridor was pitch-black, and a white figure floated in the middle. The walls, ceiling, and floor of the entire corridor were covered with hair.

The oil lamp in Li Pai's hand was blown out by the incoming cold wind, plunging the corridor into darkness.

At that moment, Elora sprinkled some more powder. Vines around her grew green leaves and produced fruits. The fruits grew brighter, illuminating the surroundings like light bulbs.

Li Pai couldn't help but admire. The witch's methods were truly amazing and practical. No wonder Elora abandoned the demon hunter's legacy and became a witch.

"Hehehe... I'm really surprised!" 

"I never expected that the curse of the Beth family that lasted for hundreds of years would be lifted!" 

"But that doesn't matter..." 

"Your body is destined to be mine!"

The ghost laughed coldly, her voice hoarse and hair-raising.

Her attention was completely focused on Elora. Li Pai... in her eyes, posed no threat at all.

As soon as she finished speaking, numerous strands of hair shot out like a barrage of bullets towards Elora and Li Pai.

"Don't think my fruits can only emit light." 

"This is..."

Elora's golden hair fluttered as she stretched out her hand and pinched the air.

"Sunlight Fruits!"

About one-fifth of the fruits instantly exploded!

The corridor turned into a flash of light, momentarily engulfed in brilliance.

"Hiss—"

The black hair seemed to be set on fire, emitting green smoke.

The once razor-sharp hair continuously curled and fell.

The ghost's skin also burned like paper in the fire, and the flames spread rapidly.

"Sunlight... Ah!!!"

The ghost howled in pain. She didn't expect to be harmed by sunlight at night. She extended her hand, tearing off the charred part of her face, revealing her pale complexion again.

"Witchcraft!" 

"Indeed impressive!" 

"But..." 

"Witchcraft requires reliance on external elements." 

"I don't believe you can keep this up forever!"

The ghost's eyes suddenly bulged out of their sockets, and her originally pitch-black pupils glowed with red light.

Her hair swept towards the sunlight fruits on the vines.

Elora's expression changed.

The ghost was right. She didn't have much natural dust on her body, so she couldn't sustain this for long.

Elora's slender fingers moved like a spirit snake.

The vines around her responded to her command, protecting the sunlight fruits with their leaves and branches.

However, the ghost's hair was too fierce. Many sunlight fruits were knocked down and lost their glow.

Elora was in a dilemma.

If she continued to explode the sunlight fruits, she could indeed suppress the ghost. However, at the rate she was consuming the fruits, they would all be gone in less than two minutes. By then, the corridor would be pitch-black, and they would be at a great disadvantage.

On the other hand, if she didn't explode the fruits, the ghost's hair would sweep them away, wasting them.

"Don't just stand there!" 

"At 11 o'clock, explode two!" 

"At 2 o'clock, explode three!" 

...

Li Pai took command.

Elora didn't hesitate and followed Li Pai's instructions, exploding the sunlight fruits on the vines.

"This..." Elora was surprised to find that she accurately exploded the right number of fruits each time. This allowed her to both conserve the sunlight fruits and resist the enemy's attacks.

Elora couldn't help but feel a slight admiration for Li Pai. His judgment and combat experience were impressive.

Li Pai, on the other hand, remained calm. As an experienced gamer, this level of operation was nothing to him. But what he didn't expect was that a perfectly normal romance game would turn into a Dark Souls.

The ghost and Li Pai's side temporarily maintained a balanced situation.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

"Leck succeeded!" Elora was overjoyed. It seemed that the female housekeeper had successfully scared the test subject out of the second-floor restroom!

The next second, the door was broken through.

A dark shadow rushed out quickly.

With the glow of the sunlight fruits, Li Pai could see the appearance of that thing clearly.

A huge fleshy ball!

The fleshy ball was sewn with three or four heads, seven or eight legs, and around ten arms...

Just taking a glance at it made one uncomfortable.

It was hard to imagine how the female housekeeper managed to create such a thing.

The fleshy ball moved with both its hands and feet, stumbling towards Li Pai and the others.

"Is this thing... Can you really extract their souls?" Li Pai asked Elora.

There were several heads on this thing, and it probably had more than one soul inside...

"I can't be sure, but I'll do my best."

Elora's expression was solemn, and she bit her lip, letting fresh blood flow down her chin.

She continuously chanted strange incantations with bizarre tones.
