I'll Do You a Small Favor!

From that day on, Liya's voice disappeared completely, as if she had never existed at all...

Ophelia felt much calmer. She was initially a little unaccustomed to this state, but no matter how she called out, Liya did not appear.

"Are you angry with me...?" Ophelia regretted her impulsive words. And subsequent events proved that Anthony was indeed a scoundrel who toyed with women's feelings; Annie, who had stolen her love, was ultimately abandoned by him. And this guy, in order to gain a higher position in the Holy See, even seduced a teacher at the academy...

While most clergy members of the Holy See, whether Father, nuns, or Holy Knight, are not restricted from marrying and having children, there is one sect whose motto is asceticism and celibacy. This sect strictly forbids all pleasures and desires, including those involving men and women. The nun teacher who was with Anthony was a member of this Ascetic Sect. After the affair was exposed, she received severe punishment. However, Anthony, as a student, portrayed himself as a victim and only received some warnings.

But Ophelia had no time to care about her ex-boyfriend's current situation; what she cared about more was the voice that had been with her since infancy...

But it seemed that Liya was really gone, leaving no trace. From then on, Ophelia couldn't even use her Shapeshifting Faction abilities.

So that's how it is... The Security Room is safe, but that doesn't mean the security guards are definitely safe. The police are trustworthy, but the police contacted by a security guard with a problem may not be real police officers!

The guy called the police just to lure me out of the safe Security Room!

Realizing this, Ophelia immediately launched an attack, but the female security guard in front of her had already revealed a sinister smile, "It's too late to react now!"

"The Security Room is safe. If you encounter an insurmountable danger at night, you can take refuge in the Security Room."

Fortunately, in the critical moment, she found a Security Room, which, according to the rules, was a safe house within the apartment building.

The female security guard stepped forward and exchanged a few words. The two police officers looked at Ophelia and asked, "Madam, would it be convenient for you to come with us to the police station?"

In an instant, Ophelia's experiences over the years flashed before Luo Jun's eyes like a movie on infinite fast-forward...

"Of course." A policeman slowly turned his head. "We will take you away..."

With the dice as collateral, Luo Jun confidently increased his power, unleashing a fierce attack on Ophelia's soul!

The illusion was originally controlled by the soul of that Chaos Creature. Under Luo Jun's relentless bombardment, it was being gradually devoured. Just when it was about to be destroyed, it suddenly made a desperate gamble, using its last bit of strength to surge back into Luo Jun's mind.

"Alive...but not far from death..." Liya's voice was strained, as if she were gritting her teeth and persevering.

Ophelia leaned against the door of the Security Room and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't even think about it!" Ophelia shouted angrily, adding her own Mental Power to fight alongside Liya against the Chaos Creature's spirit. After a fierce battle, they finally managed to suppress it...

Ophelia's hair stood on end. She immediately used her Creation Art to conjure a brick wall to block the two policemen in front of her, then turned and ran.

"Damn remnant soul, I will annihilate you completely!" the hoarse voice roared, and immediately Liya's breath weakened considerably.

The contestants who die on the stage will be resurrected. Luo Jun doesn't know whether the souls of the Chaos Creature he erased will also be reborn through this process.

Very good!

After saying that, the short, fat woman suddenly transformed into a strange wisp of black smoke, pounced on Ophelia, and burrowed into her through every pore!

"Aaaaaah!"

Security guard? Ophelia was taken aback. There was Security Room on every floor of this apartment building. This wasn't the first time she had hidden in Security Room to avoid the strange pursuers, but the previous ones she had entered were all empty. This was the first time she had seen a security guard.

To outsiders, it seemed that her personality had changed drastically after a dangerous Chaos Mission. In reality, only Ophelia herself knew that she had focused most of her energy on her body, constantly fighting against the strange entity hidden deep within her soul... both to prevent herself from being devoured and to preserve the last remnant of Liya's soul.

When all other methods failed, Ophelia once again used the Body Snatching ability of Chaos Creature, attempting to take over Luo Jun's body!

But this time, it chose the wrong opponent!

I didn't expect to be able to call the police so easily this time. Did I accidentally find a way to pass the level?

Soon, police sirens sounded outside the window, and a moment later, two police officers pushed open the door and entered. "Who called the police?"

Therefore, although the mission was marked as being of Rank A difficulty, the few Heart Refining Realm who participated in the mission didn't pay much attention to it, treating it as a simple mission to be dealt with casually.

Sensing a connection with Ophelia's soul, Luo Jun's internal energy surged wildly, concentrating in his Sea of Consciousness, increasing its output power, and simultaneously summoning the Dice of Heavenly Secrets.

Are you looking for that girl?

"That thing is gone..."

Ophelia turned her head and saw the masked face. "What do you mean?"

However, in the instant before she lost consciousness, she heard a roar from the depths of her heart.

"Feel sorry..."

"I just pulled you from the opposing camp, and we had some spiritual communication along the way," Luo Jun said calmly. "Is he... that thing still there?"

"Huh?" Ophelia, regaining her senses, was taken aback. Luo Jun stared at her and asked in a low voice, "How are you feeling?"

"Let me take you away forever!"

"Madam?" A sudden voice startled Ophelia. She turned around and saw a short, plump female security guard holding a box of instant noodles, staring at her in astonishment.

Rules Horror are generally low-level quests, and the bizarre monsters within them can usually only threaten Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Those at the Heart Refining Realm, with their powerful abilities, don't even consider these quests a threat.

Ophelia was utterly desperate...

It was a voice from the person she knew best!

"You dare touch her!"

"Oh..." Ophelia became wary. "I was just passing by, I came in to rest for a bit..."

The shy and timid girl was gone, replaced by a machine-like indifference, with every action aimed at minimizing energy consumption.

Gradually, Ophelia adapted to this quiet life and began to live like an ordinary nun of the Holy See, exploring other worlds and doing Chaos Mission.

She? Liya?

"Soul..." Ophelia murmured to herself, then seemed to be examining her own mind. A moment later, two lines of clear tears streamed down her cheeks.

Although Luo Jun lacked the protective qi to defend against external Mental Shock, his Mental Power far surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators. Coupled with the vast and boundless primordial energy within his body, it was easy for Mental Shock to penetrate his mind, but attempting to Body Snatching was simply wishful thinking!

Then, the two figures disappeared and returned to the area below the arena.

Ophelia possesses the talent of the Creation Faction, while Liya is a genius of the Shapeshifting Faction...

Unexpectedly, the strangeness here was exceptionally powerful. Once the rules were violated, even Cultivators at the Heart Refining Realm would find it difficult to resist. As her teammates died one by one, only Ophelia, who had followed the rules, survived to the end, struggling alone.

Luo Jun was startled, thinking to himself, "I only determined to annihilate the Chaos souls, how could it include Liya as well..."

Call the police? Ophelia's eyes lit up. One of the rules mentioned that the police were trustworthy, and contacting the police was key to leaving the apartment!

Thinking of this, she quickly nodded. "I'm being followed, please call the police!"

"Impossible!" Ophelia retorted excitedly, "How could Liya have been devoured by you? She must still be alive!"

Rules often contain contradictions, and some are true while others are false. Only by finding the loopholes in the rules and exploring the truth behind them can one have a chance to escape!

The female security guard immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed the emergency number. "Hello, this is Apartment Number One. One of our residents is suspected of being followed by thugs... Yes, that's right... Okay..."

"Liya, you're still alive?!" Ophelia felt a glimmer of hope.

But instead of a response from Liya, she received a strange, hoarse voice.

"No, thank you..." Without the burden of fighting the Chaos soul, Ophelia's behavior became much more normal, but she still seemed a little unaccustomed to it.

During a Chaos Mission, a powerful Chaos Creature attempted to invade her soul and Body Snatching, but was blocked by Liya's soul. From then on, three souls were essentially residing within her, one of which, the Chaos Creature, gave her the talent of Illusion Faction magic.

"Thank you for your trust, Ophelia ..." Liya's voice rang out again.

"You look very flustered..." the female security guard asked with concern, "Have you encountered any danger? Should we call the police?"

"Let me do you another small favor!"

But with all her teammates wiped out, Ophelia had already done everything she could to survive, let alone fight back...

So let's just leave these details to the dice!

Two pairs of dice are spun together; one pair shows 50 points, and the other shows 86 points!

"Ding! Event Difficulty 85 points, Final Points 86 + 5 points, Event Success!"

Now, thanks to the power of the Amgilla Pyramid, these three souls have been brainwashed and have reached a consensus in battle, allowing her to unleash the abilities of all three elements simultaneously!

After a brief exchange, the female security guard hung up the phone. "They said they would arrive within fifteen minutes."

Luo Jun stepped forward and stomped on it, crushing it completely.

But as soon as she turned around, she bumped into someone. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the female security guard who had helped her call the police earlier!

As the Chaos soul shattered, Ophelia also lost the ability to use illusions. Her howls ceased abruptly, leaving only her mangled limbs clinging to life on the ground.

Luo Jun had no inclination towards Illusion Faction, and his experience in Mental Shock was also very limited. In mental confrontations, he was like a general with superior forces, possessing absolute strength, but not knowing how to command them, and fearing that he couldn't complete such delicate operations on his own.

Could it be... that Liya really...?

From then on, Ophelia was like a completely different person.

But as anyone who has experienced the Rules Horror knows, following the rules is inherently a difficult thing!

"Erase only the souls of the Chaos Creature!"

Silently reciting the rules of the mission, Ophelia glanced back at the relentlessly pursuing unknown shadow and darted into the apartment's Security Room as fast as she could.

"We can leave this apartment building now... right?" Ophelia asked murmured, still somewhat shaken.

Ophelia was startled. "Who are you? What are you? Where is Liya?"

"I've already devoured and assimilated her... I never expected that there would be two souls in your body at the same time. I originally wanted to use illusion magic to take over your soul, but this other soul took its place... What a stubborn fellow, it really took me a lot of effort."

"You're mine now!"

So that's how it is...

Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Ophelia continue, "She... is gone too..."

From a scientific perspective, Ophelia was born with multiple personalities; her outward personality is Ophelia, and her inner personality is Liya. In a more mystical sense, two souls reside within her.

"Who said I'm dead!"

Ophelia nodded hastily, and then, under the protection of two police officers, left the Security Room and headed downstairs.

Want to fight to the death one last time? But it was all in vain. Even the Chaos Soul at its peak couldn't do anything to Luo Jun, let alone this wisp of remnant soul. It was instantly submerged by Luo Jun's vast Mental Power.

When Ophelia awoke again, she had already completed her mission and returned to the Main World.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" The female security guard put down her instant noodles, wiped her mouth, and stood up.

"You're still here after all!" Before Ophelia could even feel happy, she heard a hoarse, mocking voice. "Were you expecting this voice? I can imitate it for you anytime..."

Recalling her final moments, her first thought was to call out to Liya in her heart, hoping to hear that long-lost voice again.

Just then, a stubborn but weak voice rang out, followed by another hoarse voice exclaiming in surprise, "How... you still retain some consciousness...?"

As he spoke, his head twisted at an angle beyond common sense, turning 180 degrees back to reveal a strange smile.

Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the phone on the table.

Ophelia let out a bloodcurdling scream. She felt a powerful Mental Power devouring her consciousness and taking over her body, but she was powerless to resist and could only let it continue to erode her until she finally succumbed to the agonizing torment and passed out...

Oh no!

Looking at Ophelia's howling face, Luo Jun's eyes widened, and he unleashed his Spirit Hundred Effect, to repel the Mental Power attack!

Along the way, she saw countless phones in the apartment, but all of them, including those in the other security booths, had their lines cut off and couldn't be dialed at all. Even if she wanted to call the police, she couldn't contact the outside world.

This is a Class A Rules Horror, located in an apartment building. The entire building is enveloped by a strange power, and the residents inside are no longer behaving normally.

"Thank you for helping Liya escape..." Ophelia shook her head and said, "She tried more than once to take that monster down with her, but because the difference in power was too great, she never succeeded... I think Liya will be very happy that she was able to successfully eliminate that monster this time."

"It's just... it's just..." Ophelia crouched down, buried her face in her knees, and sobbed, "It's just... I miss her so much..."
