Chapter 208: 204. Useless Plan (Two-in-One)

204. Useless Plan (Two-in-One)

The plan proceeded very smoothly. Milaier covered up the real cause of Kande's death, faking the illusion that he had jumped off a cliff in desperation, successfully deceiving everyone in the castle.

In addition, she successfully took Kande's Memory Object and pretended to accidentally drop it, letting Butler Walunte pick it up, thereby obtaining Kande's memory. This made him mistakenly believe that he and he were consciousness fragments from the same individual, and also made Walunte realize the falseness of this world, thereby giving birth to the idea of getting rid of this false mental world, and even more wanting to leap to become Xiawa's main consciousness.

Butler Walunte's greedy nature was also activated the moment he learned part of the truth. A terrifying plan emerged in his heart as a matter of course: he wanted to kill everyone in this false world...

And because Walunte had read Kande's Memory Object, he preconceived and mistakenly believed that Milaier and he came from the same consciousness fragment, and that Milaier and he were "himself," so he was somewhat hesitant. He was also unsure what kind of impact it would have if he killed "himself."

Since it was so uncertain, Walunte thought he could at least put Milaier last to kill. Thus, in the subsequent period of castle hunting with Count Bluebeard, Walunte consciously "protected" Milaier from harm, indirectly ensuring Milaier's personal safety in the castle.

At the same time, Milaier was also guiding and inciting Xiawa's other consciousness fragments. Hela was also one of her targets.

Hela's pursuit of beauty and her psychological disgust for Count Bluebeard were utilized by her. Milaier let her discover the demonic deeds of Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte in the castle.

After Hela discovered what those two perverts had done, this smart woman indeed acted with superb skill as if nothing had happened, and secretly followed behind them to learn the Subduing Demon Technique.

After all, she also wanted to make a wish to the Alien God to realize her full desires.

Losing the stone statue did not mean that the Subduing Demon Technique could not continue. Count Bluebeard, who had studied and mastered the Subduing Demon Technique, said he could make another one, but the manufacturing process was not simple, and the progress of the Subduing Demon Technique was slowed down.

And as time passed, Count Bluebeard gradually lost some patience. It would take some time before the new stone statue was completed. A crazy thought flashed through his mind. He and his assistant, Butler Walunte, agreed to bury most of the servants in the castle at once on Christmas Eve, so the two of them laid out a large trap outside the castle in advance for this.

When those servants thought they could finally go home to see their loved ones, they unknowingly stepped into the death feast carefully prepared for them by two lunatics, eventually becoming the necessary materials for performing the Subduing Demon Technique.

Count Bluebeard specially preserved their heads in a specially made fresh-keeping container, waiting for the new stone statue to be carved, so he could offer them all as sacrifices at once.

Bluebeard was very excited because he knew that only a few materials were left to complete the Subduing Demon Technique. He and the loyal Butler Walunte would kill everyone else left in the castle, and then kill Butler Walunte when he was off guard, and finally they could enjoy the wish alone.

Hela's mood was even more so than Bluebeard's. She believed that she was the one who would counter-kill all the conspiracies and seize the final fruits of victory.

Butler Walunte was also very excited, but his mind was not on the Subduing Demon Technique. When he knew that this world was false and that Milaier was a consciousness fragment of the same individual as him, he knew that even if the Subduing Demon Technique could be performed in this world, it would definitely not be completed because there would never be enough people. His mind was on becoming the person who finally dominated this mental world, escaped the mental world, and returned to the real world.

But the one who truly controlled the overall situation was the little maid Milaier, whom no one in the castle took to heart. She knew that the plans of these people would not succeed. As long as she waited for her other "self" to arrive, the two would unite, and the scales of victory would inevitably tilt to her side.

However, just when Bluebeard, Butler Walunte, and Hela the cook all thought they were the final oriole, something unexpected happened, which was that Kelake had arrived at the castle.

On the night Kelake arrived, Bluebeard had already decided to start the action tonight. If possible, he could realize his final plan tonight.

Similarly, Hela and Walunte also knew Bluebeard's mind. After all, at dinner that day, Bluebeard ate faster than usual and did not have much patience for Kelake's arrival, casually brushing it off a few times before saying he was going back to his room to rest. They all knew that guy was just impatiently preparing for the final Subduing Demon Technique.

Sure enough, that night, Bluebeard's late-night snack time was earlier than usual. He actually called her into the room more than an hour in advance.

Regarding this anomaly, Hela was prepared and came prepared.

Bluebeard's behavior of calling her to deliver a late-night snack in advance was a dangerous signal to Hela. She was very uneasy that Bluebeard would take her as the next target for hunting. Given the current situation and her personal ability limitations, she did not want to be an enemy of Bluebeard right now.

So that night, when Hela came to Bluebeard's room, she acted more enthusiastically than ever. She even put some hypnotic drugs in Bluebeard's late-night snack, while staying vigilant about the murderous actions Bluebeard might take, while coaxing the other party to eat the food.

And the subsequent things made Hela feel surprised and relieved. Bluebeard did not show any intention to kill her, but instead had a showdown with her, saying that the people who had disappeared in the castle recently were killed by him and Walunte, just to perform a kind of Subduing Demon Technique. As long as the ritual was completed, the wish could be realized. He also rarely showed a sincere look and expressed to her that he would never hurt her. After he and Butler Walunte dealt with the others in the castle, he wanted to invite Hela to join forces to kill Butler Walunte and enjoy the final fruits of victory.

Perhaps Bluebeard's showdown was too unexpected. Hela could hardly think at the time, her brain went blank, and she was stunned for a long time. Seeing that Bluebeard was about to finish the late-night snack, the other party actually did not take action to kill her during the time she was stunned just now. She finally couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you kill me?"

Count Bluebeard grinned and said to her, "You will know later."

With full of doubts, Hela walked out of Bluebeard's room safely, and Bluebeard also fell asleep without any defense under the influence of the drugs.

After leaving Bluebeard's room, Hela thought about it over and over again, recalling Bluebeard's performance in the recent period, and found that Bluebeard's attitude towards her had indeed become different after a certain time.

Bluebeard was a pervert with deep lust, there was no doubt about that. His harassment of her was constant and disgusting, but his performance in the recent period, compared to earlier, was actually somewhat restrained...

When was it? Hela recalled that it seemed to be after Kande died, when Bluebeard and Walunte were looking for something Kande had hidden in the castle. After Bluebeard searched her room, from that day on, Bluebeard's attitude towards her seemed to have changed slightly.

Hela felt that there might be some trick she didn't know. After returning to her room, she couldn't sleep at night, so she gathered her courage and planned to go to Bluebeard to ask for an explanation.

But when she came to Bluebeard's room again, she was shocked to find that Bluebeard had been killed. The saber that originally hung on the wall of the room was now straight through Count Bluebeard's heart.

Seeing this, Hela knew that she had unknowingly become an accomplice to the murder of Count Bluebeard, and she also guessed who the perpetrator might be.

But things had come to this point. Looking at Count Bluebeard's corpse, Hela had a new plan.

In fact, she knew what the antique treasure stolen by Kande was, and she also knew where it was hidden, because the person who hid it was herself.

Hela was the most charming woman in the whole castle, which was well-known and unanimously recognized. Beautiful women naturally did not lack people who liked and pursued them, and Kande was just one of those who admired her.

After Kande stole the Peering Shadow of All Things stone statue, when he was being chased all over the castle by Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte, Hela "accidentally" met the other party.

Kande did not expect to run into Hela, but he was very happy. In his eyes, Hela was a kind, warm-hearted, and beautiful cook who could cook well. In a hurry, he decided to teach Hela to keep the book that sealed the stone statue, and urged her not to open the book easily, and not to let Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte know the whereabouts of the book, and must hide it well.

Speaking of this, Kande didn't have time to explain. Seeing Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte about to catch up, he could only continue to run away helplessly, until finally "fiercely jumping off the cliff to commit suicide."

How could Hela not open it to see what was inside? When she secretly opened it and saw that it was the necessary prop for the Subduing Demon Technique, she was immediately excited, but soon calmed down and decided to keep the item well.

So, when Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte launched a search of the whole castle, because she knew that the two had searched Kande's room for the first time after Kande died, Hela hid the book that sealed the stone statue back in Kande's room. The so-called most dangerous place was the safest place, and it was indeed not found by the two.

In the end, Count Bluebeard and Butler Walunte could only think that Kande, who jumped off the cliff at that time, fell into the abyss along with the stone statue...

At this moment, there was a fresh corpse in front of Hela. Having secretly mastered all the steps and details of the Subduing Demon Technique, she decided to use this ready-made corpse to complete the first Subduing Demon Technique she had ever performed in her life.

Milaier saw all of this in her eyes.

It was just that she never expected that in the end, Butler Walunte didn't know what he did, which caused him and Milaier to alienate and fuse into an abnormal monster, causing her plan to almost overturn.

Fortunately, Kelake didn't know what kind of coincidence he encountered. There was a pair of red shoes protecting him. Eerily, those red shoes seemed to know the relationship between her and Kelake, so they also protected her along the way, which allowed her to finally escape death and kill Xiawa's last two consciousness fragments.

Finally, her plan had reached the last step now.

Milaier looked at Kelake, whose eyes were full of horror, and stabbed a sharp wooden token that was originally hidden in her hair into the back of the other party's neck. Watching the other party sinking into her body bit by bit, she was excited to the extreme, her face full of excited flush.

She bet right. When only she and Kelake were left in the mental world, she could kill Kelake without being affected by "synchronization," thereby truly replacing the status of the main personality of consciousness!

Milaier stroked the other party's face and said with a smile, "Did you not expect this to be the result in the end?"

Kelake couldn't speak and could only look at the other party with desperate eyes. Just now, he had also read the memory carried by the fake gemstone on Milaier's navel and finally recalled the childhood memory he had lost.

Milaier was indeed a dangerous personality split from him, and this personality was extremely sinister and terrifying.

"Hahahaha..." Milaier laughed crazily. Kelake's body completely merged with her, and her body gradually deformed into a humanoid monster composed of flesh-colored bubbles, and then headed towards the end of the light.

Hum!

The spirit was suddenly subjected to a strange vibration, and Milaier's wild laughter stopped abruptly. She saw a black dot appear in the light, and she was running towards the black dot in both directions.

The black dot grew larger and closer to her. Slowly, its full appearance appeared in Milaier's eyes, causing Milaier's expression to change drastically.

Wearing a suit and leather shoes, with long limbs completely out of proportion to the torso, faceless and hairless, with black tentacles vaguely flickering behind, this was the Slender Man from the urban legends circulating in the New York region.

Its appearance immediately reminded Milaier of the night she set fire to her house. The day her consciousness fell into a deep sleep, there were actually no hallucinations. She really successfully summoned the incarnation of the Peering Shadow of All Things, and that terrifying thing had been secretly lurking deep in her consciousness.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and behind the oriole, there was actually a hunter with a gun.

In Milaier's unwilling roar, the faceless man with limbs so long that they were uncoordinated collided with the bubble man Milaier had become.

The Slender Man hugged Milaier tightly, and the illusory tentacles that were looming behind opened up like spider legs, wrapping Milaier in between again.

Milaier screamed strangely but was unable to resist, feeling her consciousness gradually disappearing, and the bubbles on her body bursting one by one. After a bubble that revealed the appearance of a human eye burst, revealing eyes even more desperate than Kelake's, only a black slender figure spinning and dancing ballet in the air remained, rushing towards the exit of the mental world... ===== CHAPTER 209 =====
