Lie VS Lie\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of us were left utterly speechless by Ruby's display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" I said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, in a surprising twist, Ruby's eyes darkened, and a glint of something less innocent flashed within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better pick me up or I will scream that you have attacked me,\" she threatened, her voice taking on a dangerous edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance, we were sternly warned not to attack or harm the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby's threat felt like a low blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I know you're not staff,\" I retorted, my voice firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to get up, but her movements were constrained, and she flinched in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes darted to the status above her head. I finally understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite my annoyance with Ruby's annoying behavior, I couldn't bring myself to ignore her. So, with a sigh of exasperation, I reached out and grabbed her hand to help her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as I disliked her tactics, I couldn't ignore her genuine love for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Right... It was her fault that she tried to deceive us, but in the end, I have to help her,' I thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her annoying antics, Ruby had shown moments of loyalty that I couldn't ignore. From Mrs. Clea's memories, I knew that she had defended me a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" Ruby said happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever. Just don't pull that stunt again,\" I replied, trying to keep my tone casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could take another step, she fell onto me, clutching my hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let out an exasperated sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry. But it looks like my leg is sprained,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I already knew what she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take you to the exit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But,\" I continued, my voice taking on a stern edge, \"you have to be responsible for the costumes you stole or the staff you threatened,\" I told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn't entirely sure if Ruby was responsible for it, but it seemed highly likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that silent understanding, we began our slow walk out of the haunted house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we emerged from the haunted house, a staff member quickly approached us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened with concern when he saw Ruby, assuming she was one of the employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, what happened?\" he asked, his voice laced with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could say anything, Ruby spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm okay,\" she said with a weak smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member looked puzzled. \"I thought you were one of our staff members,\" he admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby chuckled nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm not staff. I'm just a friend who got a little too into the Halloween spirit, I guess,\" she explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why were you pretending to be a staff member?\" the staff member inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted to scare my friends,\" she confessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I rolled my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, congratulations, you succeeded,\" I said sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member couldn't help but sigh at the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, just be careful next time,\" he warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby shed her ghostly disguise and return the costume to the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm really sorry about this,\" Ruby apologized as she handed over the costume and the mask. \"I didn't mean to cause any trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright. Halloween can get a little crazy around here,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruby nodded. She had feared that she might be fined for impersonating a staff member, but it seemed luck was on her side this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I promise I won't do anything like this again,\" Ruby assured him sincerely. \"Thank you for not being too hard on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member nodded and waved her off. \"No worries. Just enjoy the rest of your time at the park.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Ruby rejoined us without our permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: In case you want to send a gift for this novel, please send here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fm.webnovel.com\u002Fbook\u002Fsupreme-warlock-system-from-zero-to-ultimate-with-my-wives_30978612000603805\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>https:\u002F\u002Fm.webnovel.com\u002Fbook\u002Fvillain-mmorpg-almighty-devil-emperor-and-his-seven-demonic-wives_25760862505799905\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>>Read the original on https:\u002F\u002Fm.webnovel.com\u002Fbook\u002Fthe-incubus-system_17150947806784305\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>>Read more than 230 chapters ahead of TIS + 5 weekly update + 96 Extra R18 chapters + access to all R18 ASMR +R18 poll R18 scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Pat*reo*n-page: pat*reon.*com\u002Fnanakawaichan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(erase the *)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ko-fi page: ko-fi.*com\u002Fnanakawaichan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Discord: discord.gg\u002FmSRHyMVhnG\u003C\u002Fp>",688,"2026-06-05T22:19:22.029Z",1,"novelbin.me","ad5d25512cfc4b9a94e6bc6c057fc258fd4a9721aa44f21e7134804f40a01db1","the-incubus-system-chapter-783","the-incubus-system-chapter-781",873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-incubus-system-cover.jpg"]
