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

Chapter 20: The Plan Goes Wrong

Li Pai noticed that the head on the fleshy sphere gradually closed its eyes.

Seemingly, something intangible was continuously being drawn out.

It's working!

A glimmer of joy flashed in Li Pai's heart.

The witch's technique was truly formidable; everything she drew was so efficient!

In just a few seconds, it was estimated that the soul within the fleshy sphere would be completely drained!

As the soul continued to be extracted, the fleshy sphere's speed slowed down.

At this moment, the fleshy sphere had arrived beside the ghost.

The ghost's expression suddenly changed.

As a ghost with an extreme craving for a physical body, she unmistakably sensed the allure brought about by this cluster of flesh.

As the soul within the fleshy sphere gradually diminished, it began to act like a vortex, desperately pulling her in.

The ghost caught sight of Li Pai's arm crossbow and instantly grasped their plan.

They intended to force her into this body and then use the arm crossbow of the demon hunter to shoot her down!

"Hehehe..."

"You're all so naive!"

"Did you really think this would be enough to deal with me?"

The ghost sneered coldly, suddenly retracting the black long hair in front of her and attacking the large fleshy sphere beside her.

The black long hair was incredibly sharp, instantly severing several of the fleshy sphere's limbs.

"Damn it! She wants to dismember it!"

Li Pai realized the problem.

If this large fleshy sphere were to be dismembered, it would no longer be an intact body.

The ghost wouldn't be drawn into it anymore.

"What... What should we do?"

Elora became somewhat panicked.

She lacked much practical experience and was completely at a loss in this situation.

It was beyond the scope of her planned contingencies.

"Don't hesitate, detonate all the fruits at the forefront!"

Li Pai's voice resounded sternly.

Since this large fleshy sphere served as the vessel to eliminate the ghost, they absolutely couldn't allow the ghost to tear it apart.

Upon hearing Li Pai's command, Elora gained a bit of confidence.

Amidst crackling sounds, the Sunlight Fruits exploded one after another.

This time, Elora didn't hold back, directly consuming half of the Sunlight Fruits.

Blinding radiance instantly enveloped the entire corridor.

Sizzling sound...

Black smoke...

The ghost's black hair suffered immense damage.

Her skin was also burnt, not a single spot remaining unscathed.

This time, the ghost finally couldn't bear it any longer and let out waves of mournful cries.

Unfortunately, the quantity of Sunlight Fruits was ultimately limited, causing only some damage to the ghost and not enough to kill her.

However, the detonation did manage to destroy a significant amount of the ghost's hair.

The fleshy sphere, which had been sliced like a leek, finally escaped disaster.

Elora immediately recited an incantation, continuing to extract the soul from the fleshy sphere's body.

The fleshy sphere trembled violently.

It felt helpless.

It had been peacefully minding its own business in the bathroom, but that terrifying woman had unexpectedly climbed in through the window with a bone cleaver in her teeth!

Thinking about what that woman had done to it, the fleshy sphere was so frightened that it immediately dashed out of the bathroom.

Who would have thought that there would be a fight happening in the corridor!

Fighting was one thing, but the female ghost had turned around and started attacking it!

After spending some time together on the second floor, she could be this heartless!

The fleshy sphere felt wronged.

However, it also knew that the female ghost couldn't be physically harmed.

It didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

If it wanted to survive, it could only keep charging forward.

Just then, a few strands of remaining black hair suddenly wrapped around the fleshy sphere and flung it forward forcefully!

The fleshy sphere accelerated towards Li Pai and Elora.

"Oh no!"

Elora's expression changed.

If this fleshy sphere with two or three remaining souls charged at them like this...

It would be very dangerous!

"Hehehe..."

"Thinking of using it against me?"

"Reaping what you sowed!"

The ghost chuckled coldly.

Her hair was like it had been plucked bare, with only a few strands hanging on her head, giving her a somewhat comical appearance.

Elora and Li Pai didn't have time to mock the ghost.

The fleshy sphere was about to reach them.

Li Pai gritted his teeth and stood in front of Elora.

As a man, he had to protect the woman behind him, even if she was twenty centimeters taller than him...

"Bang!"

A muffled sound!

The fleshy sphere collided with Li Pai, sending him flying and slamming him heavily into the wall behind.

"That... really... hurts..."

Li Pai sat on the ground, grimacing in pain.

The sensation in this game was just too real.

When he woke Elora up, Li Pai had already felt this deeply.

Now, slammed into the wall, he felt like several of his bones were broken.

Ouch...

"Sir!"

Elora saw Li Pai being thrown to protect her, a mix of gratitude and worry in her heart.

But she didn't have much time to dwell on it.

The fleshy sphere had already charged right in front of them!

There were still a few souls within the fleshy sphere, and Elora didn't have the time to continue extracting them!

A hint of despair flashed in Elora's eyes.

She couldn't engage with the ghost directly, and just this fleshy sphere alone could crush her.

She was a witch and lacked close combat abilities.

Li Pai seemed to be injured against the wall behind her.

And the female housekeeper, Lake, had probably just crawled into the bathroom and hadn't come out yet.

No one could save her!

The two remaining heads of the fleshy sphere roared, waving its limbs as it charged towards Elora.

It knew that only by taking down the person in front of it and leaving this level did it have any hope of survival.

Just as the fleshy sphere was about to collide with Elora, Li Pai lifted his trembling arm.

A silver light shot towards the fleshy sphere.

"Splut..."

The silver needle pierced through the fleshy sphere, entering its body.

The next moment, the fleshy sphere's body began to crumble.

The heads, limbs, all turned into powder, falling continuously.

The colossal body shattered right after, and a large amount of powder surged toward Elora, almost knocking her to the ground.

"This..."

"You used the last crossbow bolt?"

Elora was taken aback, realizing what had just happened.

Li Pai had used the last bolt on the crossbow to save her.

The bolts from a demon hunter's crossbow turned into powder along with the target when they hit a creature, making them unusable again.

In other words...

The plan to kill the ghost had failed!

"If it's used, it's used."

"As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Li Pai said some cheesy lines as he walked toward Elora, clutching his chest.

Several ribs seemed to have been broken.

His right arm was also fractured; when he shot the crossbow just now, he almost missed his aim.

But a true man can't show weakness; he still had to maintain his presence.

"Are you alright..."

Elora immediately supported Li Pai.

At nearly 1.9 meters tall, Elora made Li Pai feel safe and secure.

"I'm fine..."

Li Pai felt like he was resting against something soft, alleviating the pain quite a bit.

At this moment, a cold wind swept through the corridor once again.

The ghost in the middle of the corridor seemed to be preparing something, as black gas continuously enveloped her.

"Oh no!"

"She's about to break free from her confinement!"

Elora's expression changed.

This time, they might not even have time to escape...
