Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

boom!

The loud explosion jolted Fran awake from her unconscious state. She stared blankly at the two people fighting. If she remembered correctly, the atmosphere hadn't been this intense before she passed out.

Just as it was stunned, Elena's head rolled right next to its paws. Then the head disappeared, and the resurrected Elena launched another fierce attack on her dream self.

Completely abandoning defense, it launched the most ferocious offensive, attempting to tear everything in its path apart.

The sight of that frenzied fighting style made Fran, hiding in the corner, shudder involuntarily, and she tried to curl up her body again.

……

"Where have you been all this time?"

In Elise's room, she was enjoying a massage from her maid and casually inquiring about the maid's experiences over the past few days.

"Go and kill someone."

"A person who can become anyone." The little maid made no attempt to hide anything from Iris.

Hearing the maid's words, Elise raised an eyebrow. If she wasn't mistaken, the person the maid was referring to was Thousand Faces.

Thousand Faces has forgotten her own name, but she can take over anyone's name, identity, and even everything.

She possesses a special shapeshifting ability, allowing her to transform into anyone. In the game, her gameplay involves observing, then taking over the target's identity and finding ways to remain undetected.

This gameplay is quite interesting; if you play the role convincingly enough, you can even gain the ability to impersonate the target.

Elise was killed by her once, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will inherit the identity of 'Elise'.

Before her death, Elise was somewhat gloating, after all, not everyone could control someone of her status.

She had initially thought that Thousand Faces would be killed by one of the main characters, but judging from the maid's reaction, it seems that the maid had discovered it.

She even saw through a thousand faces' disguise; truly worthy of being my little maid. (Wu)

Thinking of this, Elise turned her head and kissed the little maid on the cheek.

The maid, who had just been kissed, was a little stunned, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks. She said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? You're my personal maid, and being kissed by your master is just part of your duty." Lu

Although this wasn't one of the maid rules she'd been taught since childhood, it didn't matter; if her mistress said it was, then it must be.

"Why would you think of killing her? And surely a thousand faces are hard to find, right?"

"Because she once tried to usurp the young lady's position, that's absolutely unforgivable." The maid's voice was filled with chilling murderous intent as she spoke. *Hiss*

However, perhaps worried about damaging her image in front of Iris, the maid's tone quickly softened, and she continued, "Miss is Miss, no one can replace her. I saw through her the first time she appeared before me, but I didn't act immediately. Instead, I planned for a long time before capturing her, and then slowly..."

At this point, the maid probably felt that what was to come was a bit gory, so she didn't continue, but Elise could probably guess what kind of treatment Thousand Faces had suffered.

"By the way, I've interrogated her about all the identities she used, including the exact times and locations."

The maid chose to target Thousand Faces because Thousand Faces' abilities were the most unique and she was the most confident. She was confident that no one would discover her identity, and in the early stages, she could not perfectly play many roles or acquire many abilities, so as long as she was found, she could be killed.

If you kill your opponent with the Devourer's Dagger, there is a chance that you can extract their abilities.

As if she had thought of something, the maid took out a nearly dried-up corpse, which was the corpse of Thousand Faces.

Although the corpse had already been devoured by the Devourer, she thought that her young lady might still be able to make use of it, so she brought the corpse back as well.

Elise understood the maid's meaning and directly summoned the Invisible Mouth to sacrifice the corpse to the trash can.

In fact, Elise didn't have much hope, since only a recently deceased corpse could gain power by being sacrificed to a trash can.

However, this restriction was relaxed considerably after the Gluttony Mark was upgraded, so Elise was just trying it out.

She never expected that the trash can would actually give her a reward, and it was even the core ability of the Thousand Faces.

However, perhaps because she was absorbed by the Devourer's Dagger first, the skills she gained were incomplete; she only had the ability to shapeshift, but could not acquire the abilities of a shapeshifter.

Even so, it was enough to surprise Elise, since she hadn't had much hope to begin with.

Moreover, the power of transformation is an extremely useful ability.

Praise be to the great trash... the king of gluttony, I'll definitely stuff more stuff into the trash can when I get the chance.

Seeing her mistress's rather surprised expression, the maid knew that bringing the body back was the right choice.

Looks like next time I hunt down those damned people, I should try to bring back their bodies.

The little maid thought to herself.

Volume 1: Chapter 461 Intense and Twisted Love

Elena had a dream in which she stabbed Elise to death with her own hands in a dark basement.

Elena knew that basement all too well; it was the basement she used when she kidnapped Elise.

The moment she killed Elise, Elena was awakened by this nightmare.

Since she was able to enter the burning church on her own, she rarely dreamed anymore. After all, every time she slept, it was a trial by fire for her.

But last night she had a dream, and she didn't know if it was because she found out why she had killed Elise, or something else.

In any case, this dream was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying nightmare for her.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, then got up and went into the bathroom.

As she felt the cold water splashing on her body, Elena's fear gradually subsided.

She knew very well that it was unrealistic to speculate before knowing the specifics, but sometimes, the more you try not to think about it, the more you unconsciously start to think about it.

After taking a shower, she didn't feel refreshed as usual; instead, she felt even more melancholy.

With a soft sigh, Elena slowly left the room and subconsciously went to the training ground.

However, when she arrived at the training ground, she found that the once well-equipped training ground had been turned into an open-air space, and traces of yesterday's battle were still left there.

Although she was outmaneuvered by the maid yesterday, she also discovered her own weaknesses in the duel with the maid.

To prevent a similar situation from happening again, Elena felt it was necessary to acquire more information as a trump card. As long as she had enough information, she didn't believe the little maid could still control herself.

Just as Elena was standing at the entrance of the training field, lost in thought, she suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.

She instinctively reached for her weapon, but stopped when she smelled a familiar scent of morning dew and flowers.

Normally, she wouldn't even need to wait for the other person to get close before she could sense their identity, but now that they were right behind her, she only realized it then.

If it were a maid, she might already be injured.

Although she didn't really want to admit it, the maid's words did indeed affect her state of mind.

"What are you doing standing here like an idiot?"

"I'm wondering how much it will cost to fix this place." Elena turned to look at Iris, wanting to ask her something several times, but unable to bring herself to do so.

She felt that even if she asked, Elise wouldn't tell her the answer she wanted. Perhaps the only way, as her other self had suggested, was to kill her and then she would know the whole truth.

“I think you must be thinking about me,” Elise said confidently.

"You are really confident."

"Of course, given your stingy nature, since I've already said you don't need to pay me back, I definitely won't bring this up again."

Although she wanted to refute it, Elise's words were reasonable and well-founded, and she couldn't find any words to refute them.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my little maid for what happened yesterday. She also awakened some memories from her past life, which is why she treated you that way."

Although she knew she probably wouldn't get the answers she wanted, Elena still asked, "I want to know, how many times have I killed you? And why?"

“I already said it was just an accident. Besides, do you think rebirth is something you can just do any old way? And how many times?” Elise poked Elena’s cheek. “I don’t care anymore, so you shouldn’t care either.”

The more Elise seemed so nonchalant, the more Elena couldn't help but care.

Feeling the guilty look in the other person's eyes, Elise's body trembled involuntarily, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared in her eyes.

Yes, that's right, let guilt and regret take root deep in your heart, and then bind Elena firmly to your side, making her give everything for you.

At this moment, Elise even had a twisted impulse to drag Elena down with her into the sea of ​​desire, wanting to see her succumb to desire while being tormented by her past.

Iris, whose breathing had become heavier, tried to calm her turbulent emotions and then gently hugged Elena: "Anyway, you're not allowed to overthink it. This is the employer's order."

Elena, who was being hugged, gently held Iris's hand. She actually had a lot to say, but it was all stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it.

Elise stared straight at Elena, her pupils, which had turned red from the pollution, now returning to their pure blue, filled with an intense and undisguised love, before kissing Elena's lips.

……

Originally, Elena had reached a delicate balance with her dream self.

Although she often dies while fighting in her dreams, she no longer has the initial thought that she must kill another version of herself.

However, after discovering that the truth was still being covered up, Elena once again pursued her former goal: to kill her other self.

She wanted to know the truth.

After experiencing death once again, the frost that had surrounded Elena was replaced by raging red lightning, a new power she had gained from the dragon crystal she had just acquired.

The crimson lightning transformed into various weapons, launching a fierce attack on Elena in the dream with unparalleled momentum.

Faced with such a fierce offensive, Elena in her dream also twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a crazy smile: "Yes, that's right, that's it. You have to be determined to kill me, otherwise how can you save her!"

As Elena's voice faded in the dream, her pure white wings unfurled, and golden lightning suddenly exploded.

Flandre, the ice dragon, huddled in a corner, trembling. She had a feeling that these two evil stars were getting crazier and crazier. They were fine before, so why did things turn out like this?

When Elena woke up the next morning, the exhaustion in her eyes was unmistakable.

She hadn't fought so intensely in her dreams in a long time; the battle started as soon as she closed her eyes and continued until just now.

But even that wasn't enough; she still couldn't kill herself in her dream.

She wanted to break through to the seventh rank. She knew that after breaking through to the seventh rank, her other self would definitely have the corresponding strength, but only after breaking through could there be more changes.

Moreover, she also wanted to see just how powerful she was in her dream. If she didn't surpass the strongest opponent, how could she protect Elise?

She must surpass another version of herself... no, she must surpass everyone!

Volume 1: Chapter 462 Don't be so rough (〃崊‖〈祁←々陆″↑九￡♂□泤仨 Search: Randomly tease my sister)

"Good morning~"

Elena, who was standing in the garden, turned her head silently after hearing Elise's voice and responded softly.

Elise could clearly see the weariness in Elena's eyes, just like when she had just pulled her to her side. She wondered if Elena had seen something in her dream or if something had happened.

So far, Elise has not been able to invade Elena's dream.

Every time she felt she was about to penetrate, she would be pushed back by an invisible force, which frustrated Elise greatly.

That's just the kind of person she is; the more you forbid her from seeing something, the more she wants to see it.

She would try to invade Elena's dreams whenever she had the chance, and she wouldn't stop until she succeeded.

Elise slowly walked to Elena's side, then reached out and gently stroked around her eyes, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes: "Have you been sleeping poorly lately?"

"Is it interesting to ask a question you already know the answer to?" Elena said irritably.

"Oh dear, I've told you not to overthink things, but you just won't listen. It feels like my words as your employer have no effect now."

"Sometimes, you can't just stop thinking about it."

Elise understood this perfectly well; she was just deliberately trying to show her concern.

Actually, she wasn't doing it on purpose; she genuinely cared about Elena and didn't want Elena to become depressed because of that kind of thing.

However, based on her understanding of Elena, this was highly unlikely.

"The morning dew flowers have long passed their blooming season, but if you want to see them bloom again, I can make them bloom again." As Elise finished speaking, a large amount of life force was released, and the morning dew flowers, which had already passed their blooming season, bloomed again under the influence of the life force.

Elise casually plucked a flower and tucked it into Elena's hair, then nodded and said, "It looks quite nice."

Normally, a morning dew flower would wither after being picked, but with the blessing of Elise's life force, this flower should be able to last for a long time.

Normally, Elena would never want to wear that flower in her hair, but this time, after hesitating for a moment, she didn't take it off.

"By the way, I'm planning to go to the Land of Hope later. Do you want to come with me?"

"What are you doing there?"

"Of course I'll go to Flora. She gave me such a nice gift last time, and I haven't even thanked her yet."

"Besides, I promised to take her to explore some ancient ruins, so this is a good opportunity to ask her when she has time."

Upon hearing Elise's words, Elena remembered that her sister had indeed mentioned this before. She asked curiously, "Where is this ancient ruin you're talking about?"

"There's a very secluded place within the kingdom. If you want to go, you can come along with me."
