The next few months were the happiest time of Ruan Ruan's life.
The kitten Pearl grew up gradually and was well taken care of by Dennis.
Although Dennis was unwilling to communicate with her, she would come to see Pearl every day, and they would bathe Pearl and comb her hair together.
Although Dennis was distant, he would not push her away when she approached him.
"Dennis."
On this day, Ruan Ruan came to Dennis's garden again. She called softly, but did not hear Dennis' response.
"Meow~"
Pearl seemed to have heard her call and ran towards Ruan Ruan in an 800-meter sprint.
Xili smiled and teased, "It seems that Pearl is very attached to you, my Lord."
Ruan Ruan picked up Zhenzhu with a smile and joked, "It's not that it's close to me, it just likes the dried fish I brought."
As he said that, he asked Xili to take out the dried fish she had brought to feed Zhenzhu.
Unexpectedly, Pearl behaved out of character. Not only did she not eat the dried fish, she also looked around nervously and meowed non-stop.
Only then did Ruan Ruan discover that there was a trace of fresh blood on Zhenzhu's tail, which did not belong to Zhenzhu.
Ruan Ruan frowned and looked into the depths of the garden, feeling uneasy.
It's been so long, why hasn't Dennis shown up yet?
Her intuition from years of doing missions told her that today's events were a little unusual.
Handing the pearls to Celie, she lifted her skirt and walked towards Dennis's bedroom.
As soon as I walked to the door, I smelled a strong smell of blood.
Ruan Ruan's face turned pale, and she suddenly stopped Xili who was holding Zhenzhu behind her.
Her voice trembled: "Siri, hold Pearl and leave."
After she finished speaking, she pushed the door open and then locked it without waiting for Xili to react.
The house was dimly lit.
Dennis's thin body sat on the ground, his long white hair hanging down to the ground.
Beside him were two bodies with miserable deaths.
Ruan Ruan paused, her body trembling as she stepped over Bev and Bailey on the ground, and walked towards Dennis on the blood spreading on the ground.
Suddenly, Dennis raised his head abruptly, his eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the corners of his eyes were drooping.
Like crying and laughing.
"Ruan Ruan, welcome."
His voice was still cold, but his tone was playful, like a big cat catching a small mouse in a cat-and-mouse game.
Ruan Ruan's mouth trembled and her fists clenched: "Eric."
Dennis slowly stood up and staggered towards Ruan Ruan: "You seem to be having a lot of fun~"
Ruan Ruan's body trembled, but she was unwilling to retreat: "Leave his body, Eric."
Dennis chuckled, slowly raised his hands, and circled in front of Ruan Ruan: "He and I are born soulmates. His body inherited my power of light..."
"This is the perfect body I created for myself from the very beginning!"
"Get out of his body! Come at me if you have anything!"
Ruan Ruan's voice was trembling. Feeling that Xili wanted to push the door in, she quickly put her hands behind her back and closed the door.
"Don't worry... I'll settle the matter of your betrayal right now..."
Dennis stretched out his hand and quickly and ruthlessly grabbed Ruan Ruan's throat. Ruan Ruan wanted to resist, but at this moment, the "Eric" who had been dormant in her body actually absorbed all her strength and magic.
"Shh... don't struggle... enjoy... dying..."
Dennis burst into laughter, and Ruan Ruan's larynx made a terrible crackling sound.
"Saint! Saint!"
Xili kept pushing the door, but it wouldn't open.
Ruan Ruan held the door lock tightly, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.
"Having sensed the host's impending death, should we activate the death substitute puppet?"
"Recognizing that the host's consciousness is blurred and unable to make a decision, System 001 has activated the substitute puppet."
The world spun around and time went back to three minutes ago. Ruan Ruan took a deep breath.
She looked at the bedroom door and took a step back.
Xili held Zhenzhu and wondered why Ruan Ruan didn't go in.
Ruan Ruan pulled Xili up and ran out with her.
When she ran to the garden gate and saw the pale golden barrier, Ruan Ruan's legs went weak.
"Saint?"
Xili held Pearl in her arms, confused and clueless.
"Agonmo!"
Along with Ruan Ruan and Li He, the ice-blue Agongmo appeared in her palm.
Agungmo seemed to be aware of the danger as well. It kept spitting ice towards the barrier. The barrier began to shake and the door creaked open.
Ruan Ruan protected Xili behind her, and she looked at Dennis who came out in surprise and suspicion.
Dennis staggered as he walked, a half-smile on his face, and blood splattered on his palms and face.
He saw Ruan Ruan and raised his eyebrows: "Wow, that's amazing, time has gone back?"
Ruan Ruan's pupils shrank and her lips were tightly pursed.
Dennis walked over slowly. He tilted his head, his white hair drooping. His once cold face now looked like a ghost from hell. "This thing you have now is much more useful than the one you had before."
Xili didn't know what was going on, but seeing Ruan Ruan's back trembling, she finally understood that something was wrong.
Agungmo kept attacking the barrier, and Ruan Ruan felt that there was no magic power in his body, and he immediately understood.
Her eyes were red: "From the moment you sealed your power and soul in my body, it has been a trap."
Dennis smiled and said, "Why? Finally noticed?"
Ruan Ruan's teeth trembled. She had no way of using the power of light now. Even if she did, the power of light would be drawn away by the remaining soul of Eric in her body and turned into Dennis's power.
"Ruan Ruan, don't you think you're smart?"
Dennis walked closer and stared at Ruan Ruan quietly.
He stretched out his hand again, and black claws grew from his fingertips. With a light scratch, blood flowed out of Ruan Ruan's neck.
Celie screamed, threw the pearl at Agungmo, drew a dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed Dennis in the arm.
Bang
Dennis raised his arm slightly, and the dagger twisted and broke as if it had hit something extremely hard.
Xili screamed and was grabbed by Dennis.
Dennis's veins throbbed on the back of his hand, and he exerted force on the hand that was pinching Celie's shoulder. There was a crisp sound that made one's scalp numb, and then Celie's entire shoulder was shattered into bone and flesh.
Xili was so pale that she couldn't even scream.
Ruan Ruan's body trembled, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to catch Xili, but saw that Xili's head was pinched again.
As if realizing something, Xili turned to Ruan Ruan with eyes filled with pain.
"run……"
Bang
Celie's head was crushed.
In front of Ruan Ruan, he fell to the ground, his face completely disfigured, like a rag doll.
Dennis's eyes drooped and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.
He slowly looked at Ruan Ruan: "It's your turn."
"Agonmo, break the barrier! Go!"
Just then, 001 spoke.
Ruan Ruan pursed her lips, turned around and ran towards the barrier that Agongmo was about to break.
