Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

Bai Xi grabbed Alice and ran with all her might.

However, the darkness behind him followed like a shadow. The manor was an extension of it, and Bai Xi was walking on its trunk!

No matter where you flee, you will always be with it!

"Why don't we just skip all the complicated stuff, Bai? I'm serious, and I'm giving you this advice as a friend."

Stoffey's helpless voice came from behind Bai Xi:

"It's impossible. I feel hopeless looking at the expected development of the module. There's absolutely no chance of winning."

"It's just a game anyway, that's how the story is written, there's nothing we can do about it. Why not just save ourselves the trouble?"

"This module was never designed to let you win."

Stoffey said this to Bai Xi.

But Bai Xi simply swung his sword, grabbed Alice, and carved a path through the air, ignoring Stoffey's words.

"I don't care about any of that, Stoffey."

He said indifferently, "I'm just here to play the game. So I'll only play the game my way."

"That means there's nothing to talk about."

As he spoke, Stoffey sighed softly and looked up into the distance: "What a pity."

"Ah, time's up. Sorry, it seems that's all I have to say."

"You'd better shut that annoying mouth of yours as soon as possible."

Bai Xi said disdainfully, but Stoffey seemed indifferent, shrugging his shoulders. Suddenly, the dark waves surged.

He paused, then said, "However, what I mean is, there won't be any holding back from now on."

In an instant, darkness surged toward Bai Xi like a tsunami!

In an instant, Bai Xi felt an even stronger gravitational pull coming from his hand that was holding Alice, and darkness was engulfing him.

Endless malice, countless malice, a despairing malice lingered in his mind, gnawing at his soul.

"Mr. Bai..."

"Just call me Bai Xi."

Bai Xi shook his head and corrected her. Alice was taken aback for a moment, but then pursed her lips.

It seemed as if it was hesitating about something, thinking about something, and deciding whether this was the right choice.

Or rather, the only option.

As Bai Xi desperately dragged her to the entrance of the original basement, she suddenly spoke, whispering to Bai Xi:

"Bai Xi, why don't we just let go like this?"

Bai Xi paused for a moment, then turned back to look at Alice in disbelief.

But Alice's expression looked as if she was about to cry:

"There will be no result in the future. I know its power; if it were to actually save me, it would only bring misfortune upon me."

"Baek Hee, I will never, ever, ever forget that you were my friend, even if, even if I have to become that monster."

She thought for a moment and said seriously, "Because you taught me what a friend is, someone who doesn't want to make them feel pain or unbearable pain."

"We're friends, so I don't want to cause you pain."

Bai Xi opened her mouth silently, turned her head, but once again tightened her grip on Alice's hand.

"I didn't want to either."

He left behind a brief statement:

"It's precisely because I don't want my friend to suffer that I'm doing this, even if it means doing everything in my power to help you get out of this pain!"

"Listen! Alice, you didn't have to belong there. Even if you were born in darkness, you should have the right to yearn for the light."

Even those born into despair should have the right to yearn for hope!

"I just want to return this right to you, because you should have it."

He spoke each word with such solemnity.

Because he could have been outside of darkness and despair, yet he was born there.

Countless times, Baek Hee suffered for his origins and felt desperate and resentful because the place he came from was called the Church.

Therefore, when Baek Hee saw Alice, he couldn't help but wonder what he could do.

What can we do for a soul in a similar situation to our own, to help her so that she doesn't have to fall into the same despair as we have?

Just like he did when he saved himself many years ago.

Alice paused briefly, but before she could recover, Bai Xi pulled her away to begin the next round of the chase.

Finally, Alice leaned close to Bai Xi, nodded gently at him, and lowered her eyelids.

"I will, Mr. Baek Hee."

"If I really deserve it."

The unseen child behind him still followed him like a shadow.

After running only three or four steps, a wall constructed by the invisible children appeared in front of them.

Dead end.

"Let's take another route, this way!"

Half a minute later, a dead end.

"Let's get another one!"

"Change it again!"

"Keep changing!"

Finally, only a deathly silence remained.

No matter which way you go, it's a dead end. Bai Xi finally realized one thing: the seal formed by the invisible child of the manor no longer has any gaps.

No matter how they try to escape, they can never truly leave the manor. They are merely drawing circles within the boundaries set by the Invisible Child.

"KP, is there no other solution for this module?"

Ah, I'll make an exception and answer that. I just looked through the module's script, and honestly, this is already the predetermined ending.

KP's calm explanation followed:

Honestly, I'm quite surprised you got this far; this mod is a pretty linear one.

In other words, some things are destined to happen, and regardless of which ending you get, it seems Alice is destined to die, right?

[In the trial of the Blasphemous Work, Cute Alice will inevitably become the core of the Blasphemous Work. To complete the main storyline, you must kill all the heirs until only one remains, and Cute Alice is one of them.]

KP didn't need to say anything for Baek Hee to know what was left to say.

If you don't kill Alice, you have to kill everyone else, but that will trigger the transformation ritual, and Alice will be transformed into the Child of No Form and die.

Killing Alice would be putting the cart before the horse.

In other words, this is a fixed line.

The creator of this mod seems to really enjoy this kind of unchangeable tragic ending; the mod doesn't offer any alternative paths at all.

KP clicked his tongue in amazement, while Baek Hee took a deep breath and raised her head.

"That's a fucking lousy mod."

I agree with that. So, what are you planning to do?

KP asked Baek Hee curiously, while Baek Hee looked up at the darkness that was constantly approaching and raised one arm.

And on it, the mark of the Serpes Order.

"KP, you know, the so-called 'troublemakers' are, to put it bluntly, people who act recklessly. But I generally prefer the nicer way of saying it."

Suddenly, Baek Hee spoke, and KP appeared alert:

【What are you trying to do? Are you going to cast a spell to summon Boss A and flip the table? I'm warning you, it's not nighttime now!】

Bai Xi ignored him and continued speaking:

"The so-called troublemakers are actually people who are dissatisfied with the story."

"I don't like the way the story goes, I don't like the ending, I don't like being restricted, and I don't like being constrained by a story that makes me unhappy."

"Therefore, use all your strength, even beyond the role you are playing, because what has descended upon us now is the player, the troublemaker, no longer the character card."

"Since you don't like this ending, then I'll rewrite it myself!"

"Since others won't give it to me, I'll just go get it myself!"

"Since it's a game, you have to make sure you have fun. So, break all those things you don't like!"

"Using all sorts of clever tricks and ingenious methods, all for just one thing: to shape this story into the way I like!"

He took a half step forward, no longer fleeing, but gazing at the approaching darkness.

He said, "I don't like this story."

As he finished speaking, the mark on his hand lit up with a glow, and a smile appeared on his face.

"So, KP, do you remember what I said before the raid started?"

"At the time, I said that I already knew how to communicate with spirits, and asked if I could get something else instead. And I also said that I knew more than just communication with spirits."

"In this day and age, who's using those troublesome supernatural spells that require entering dreams?"

"We, the recipients of this favor, simply recruit people directly!"

As Bai Xi spoke, light and wind swept by. The Outer God, representing hope, cast his gaze upon this place, looking expectantly upon his chosen ones.

What wish do you want to make this time?
