"Are you awake? Alice Northfield."

This was the first time Alice heard such a voice. This voice was very gentle, but as opposed to gentle, it was terrifying. She didn't know why, but this voice filled her with fear.

"Who are you?"

Alice's voice was extremely hoarse, and could even be said to be comparable to that of Gropaste. Her throat was too thirsty, and her mucous membranes hurt as if they were about to tear.

"Who are you? What is this place? What do you want to do with me?"

As if to dispel the terror in her heart, Alice kept asking questions about the source of terror in the purple mist in front of her. However, there was no response from the mist.

"Who are you?"

But the next second, Alice felt as if her body was tightly bound by something. Her body could not move at all, and there was an obvious murderous intention coming from the purple mist.

"..."

Alice's breathing became rapid with fear and nervousness. Her whole body was covered in sweat, and her clothes were clinging to her skin.

However, Alice also wanted to know what the source of the fear in the mist was, but she also knew that her life was now being controlled by that mass.

(dew……)

A pinprick-like pain also hit Alice, but in just a moment, the pain disappeared.

"You seem to want to fulfill that wish."

"wish?"

The existence in the fog obviously knows its own wish. What kind of existence is it?

"What's wrong? Don't you want to realize your wish?"

If she thought about it, she was afraid that the other party would kill her in an instant. Just thinking about it made her feel vomiting. The fear of death was always with her.

But... Alice doesn't want to give in to the other party. Alice once swore that she must lift the family's centuries-old curse and let the Northfield family's death disease end in this era. Never again.

Short life will occur.

"I must achieve my wish!"

Ready to die, Alice closed her eyes. However, death did not come for a long time. What was going on? What did the existence in the fog want to do?

"Northfield...it's really disgusting. Why are you unwilling to give up this dream?"

"My life was given to me by my parents and the love given to me by my parents and sisters. If I can't repay the love my parents and sisters have for me, then I might as well die here."

"Hahaha, you are really ambitious. Go to hell."

Something invisible flew out of the mist at an extremely fast speed and struck Alice hard on the cheek.

"!!"

In order to express her will, Alice gritted her teeth. At the same time, she felt a burning pain on her face. Then she felt something warm flowing down her cheek.

That was the blood flowing from a wound on Alice's cheek. Alice herself heard the sound of blood dripping on her chest and thighs.

"I have plenty of time. Take your time, don't rush, I can make you die very slowly... very slowly... very slowly..."

The attack came from the fog again, but Alice still had no fear. She knew that the other party would continue to cause her pain until she said those words.

"As long as you are willing to give up that stupid dream, I can make a special exception and let you alone survive. As long as...this sentence."

"You...don't underestimate me too much. If I did that, I wouldn't be Alice Northfield."

If I say it, the pain will end. Even if it is an expedient, it is absolutely impossible for me to say this, and in that case, I will not be able to forgive myself.

"I will live for you and die for you. And I will always be by your side and always believe in you."

As long as she thinks of what Lu once said to herself, Alice has incomparable courage. No matter how much pain she endures, she will never say those words.

(Lu, I will never give up.)

The seemingly endless torture continued, and Alice herself didn't know how many times she had been attacked by the other party. The smell of blood stimulated her nostrils, and the same problem repeated endlessly, every time.

Any answer would bring immense pain to herself, and gradually, Alice's consciousness finally began to blur.

"Will you give up?"

"I will...absolutely...will not give up."

The pain came again, and this time the pain was traveling on her arms. Because... there was no place on her face that could be hurt. Her beautiful face had been scratched with countless wounds.

, it’s so dense that I can’t bear to see it.

"Aren't you willing to give up? It's better for your health to give up earlier. Uh-huh, it hurts even just looking at it."

"Do you think you can make me give in like this? Do you think you can make me change my mind just by relying on pain? If so, then I still say that you underestimate me, Alice Northfield.

.And...I believe...he will definitely come to save me."

Lu, he will definitely find his current predicament. There is no reason, he just believes it. But, will Lu notice his current situation?

(He will come, he will definitely come.)

"That's right, he is indeed here. It's just that he has already been defeated."

Alice's eyes actually opened at this moment, but the moment she opened her eyes, the scene she saw was more terrifying than anything else. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, unable to move at all.

"dew!"

Lu's hands and feet were pierced by nail-like things made of purple mist and he lay on the ground, while his whole body was dyed red.

"He did come to save you before, but he couldn't save you. Not only couldn't he save you, but he couldn't even save his own life. How about... change the conditions."

"Alice...I'm sorry...I obviously wanted to save you...but in the end..."

"Lu, cheer up!"

Although Alice really wants to rush to Lu's side, she can't move now, nor can she treat Lu.

At this time, purple mist also wrapped around Lu's neck.

"There are only two choices for you. The first is to give up that so-called dream. The second is not to abandon this dream, I will kill him."

"Let go of Lu!"

"Stop... Alice, you don't need to do this kind of thing for me."

Alice couldn't help but look away, because seeing Lu's current appearance was even more painful than the pain she had suffered.

"What do you choose?"

"me……"

Alice was also in hesitation, and she didn't know what to do now.

"Alice, you don't need to make such a sacrifice for me!"

"Oh, oh, you really are, I didn't let you speak."

The sound of splitting bones sounded next to Alice's ears, and the purple mist condensed into a solid substance, turning into a short knife, piercing Lu's hand fiercely, and then nailed Lu's hand to the ground.

Even so, Lu's expression did not change at all. She just glared at the purple mist in front of her.

"Come on, let me hear your answer. Do you want to give up on your dream, or on this man?"

"me……"
