Chapter 24 - The Official Start!

"Ah—"

"Ah—"

"Ah—"

In the bright and sunny princess's room, Elena suddenly opened her eyes while lying on the bed, her face contorted, her body tense, and she screamed loudly! Utter chaos, utter madness!

After a long while, it seemed that the warm sunlight finally calmed her down. She sat up like a zombie, hugging her legs and wailing loudly.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door. It was three gentle and unhurried knocks, which sounded very pleasant. "Sister, what's wrong?" Alucard's voice came from outside the door. "Your voice sounds very abnormal. Could you please open the door?"

"No! I'm fine!" Elena immediately raised her head and wiped away her tears.

"Are you sure? My sister?" Alucard's cold voice was full of suspicion.

"I'm very sure, Alucard." Elena took a deep breath and tried to calm her voice. "Well... Could you please go to the lounge and wait for me? I'll change my clothes and come to see you."

Alucard pondered for a moment: "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. According to etiquette, I should escort you all the way until the ceremony is over. But you seem a bit abnormal this morning... I think I'll wait outside the door for you."

Elena frowned and couldn't help but get angry. She shouted, "Alucard! No matter what, I'm your sister! You must obey your sister's orders! This is what a noble does!"

"I want you to get out right now!!"

Outside the door, Alucard pondered again, his expression unknown: "Alright, my sister. Then, we'll see each other later."

As Alucard's footsteps faded away, Elena lowered her head and sighed: "You really made a great start, Elena." She had so much wanted to resolve Alucard's resentment, and she had a vague feeling that if Alucard could get over his heartache, he would surely become a powerful ally for her! But it was obvious that in the "official start" after using up all three "Future Vision" chances, she had just angered Alucard as soon as she appeared.

Elena took a deep breath and finally slowly took off the blood moon hairpin on her head, turning it over with great anticipation. She saw that her mother had carefully engraved a beautiful line of words on the back. — I deeply love each and every one of you.

"Is this... the 'final hint' given by mother?" Elena trembled all over, even her teeth were chattering in fear. Such a vague hint, does it mean I should die? Should I die? Should I die? Should I die...

For a long, long time. "Aunt Mary, are you there?"

Elena walked to the mirror and looked at herself. However, there was nothing abnormal about the reflection in the mirror. But after a moment, several blood-red words slowly appeared on the mirror surface. Only this time, the blood words were obviously blurry. Blood words: Power exhausted, about to fall asleep.

Elena clenched her fists in despair! All three "Future Vision" attempts had failed, and she still couldn't find a way to survive. She had thought she could rely on Aunt Mary in the "official start", but it seemed that Aunt Mary couldn't help her either.

What does the hint on the back of the mother's hairpin mean? What is "choice"? What are the "door" and the "key"? ...

Elena suddenly realized that she had far too many doubts, both new and old. And it was obvious that if she couldn't figure out all of them before facing the upcoming strange events head-on, this time her death would be real! What should she do...? What should she do!!

Suddenly, a pale hand touched Elena's hair. Elena looked up and saw that it was her own reflection in the mirror that had reached out. Blood letters: Stay calm. You already have all the clues. Blood letters: As long as you stay calm, you will surely be able to solve... The blood letters behind the mirror surface were completely illegible, and at the same time, the hand that had reached out suddenly disappeared. In the mirror, an image that moved in the same way as herself appeared again. Elena knew that Aunt Mary was asleep.

Calm! Calm! I already have all the clues!

1. The frog witchcraft was placed on Alucard's tie by the stepmother. Only the Lord of Fear can remove the witchcraft.

2. The Lord of Fear must make a contract with it before he will help you. But after the contract, the chaotic him will kill everyone.

3. If there is one less guest, another "Elena" will appear.

4. If there is one more guest, you will gradually disappear.

5. The special invitee of ***** can "agree" or "refuse" his invitation at any time, always keeping the number of guests incorrect.

6. The key to this life and death situation is what her mother said: I love each and every one of you deeply.

Elena summarized the [new known information], but still had no idea. Because there were still three most important questions that she had not figured out.

1. How to stop the "special invitee of *****"?

2. What is my "choice"?

3. What does the final hint from her mother mean?

Elena sat quietly in front of the mirror, motionless. She knew that if she couldn't figure out these three points, she would be doomed! Unconsciously, cold sweat broke out on Elena's forehead and her body trembled. But just as she was about to break down, the blood moon hairpin in her hand suddenly emitted a warm glow. That feeling was like when she was a child and her mother affectionately held her hand... This made Elena calm down instantly.

She didn't know how much time had passed... Finally! She suddenly stood up, clenched her fists and shouted! "I know!" "I finally know all three questions!" Although there were still many uncertainties, as long as she figured out the three most crucial points, she would have enough strength to fight! Elena's body kept trembling, as if excited, as if agitated, as if sad, as if angry, and even more like something had exploded inside her, filling her with boundless fighting spirit! You guys, one after another, have been playing with me for so long... This time! — I'm going to take you all down!

"Haha! Hehe! Ehehe!" Elena laughed crazily, but tears streamed down her face. "Thank you, Mother..." "Thank you..."

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the achievement: Pleasure of Being Raped.] [Having been bullied and abused by others multiple times, but instead feeling an uncontrollable pleasure, to the point of wanting to take the initiative to push back. Obtaining this achievement is sufficient proof that the Host has taken a firm and twisted step towards the path of perversion!] [Achievement Reward: Perversion Value +2, Charm Value +2, Terrifying Smile Degree +1]

So many rewards, it's really not bad... No! This damn broken system! As soon as I returned to reality, it couldn't wait to come out and blabber!

Elena was furious, but suddenly felt the light in the room dim. "Boom!" A thunderclap, and the originally sunny weather instantly turned overcast, and in an instant, heavy rain poured down! "Hey!" Elena seemed unimpressed and said, "I guess next, the ceiling will drip blood. One, two, three!" Sure enough, after Elena counted to three, bloodstains seeped out all over the ceiling and walls. Elena shook her head in disdain.

"I've seen through your little tricks, Lord of Fear. You're at least a root-level being. Since you've come, why be so sneaky?" After a moment. All the bloodstains around Elena vanished, and an ominous, thick black fog emerged inexplicably, billowing and surging on the ceiling of Elena's room!

"This is no mere trick, astute princess. Blood is your deepest fear." Elena sighed. It was all because of her period... The voice from the black fog rumbled. "I'm very curious. How did you, such a weak human like an ant, see through the fear of a root-level being?"

Elena's blood-red eyes shone with a mischievous light. "Guess... what power can see through the root?" Elena asked in return, revealing a charming smile. [San value of Lord of Fear -0.2]
