Alice's Hell (41) - Your Hatred for Me Isn't as Strong as Mine for You

Zeng Lai froze, then turned around abruptly to look behind him, only to see a pair of scarlet eyes that even flames couldn't conceal.

Alice crashed down directly onto the rose bushes just below the passage. Petals swirled and fell through the air, while thorns pierced Alice's body.

Her black hair was disheveled like a demon's, revealing only her eyes and half of her white face. She crawled on all fours like a reptile, her joints twisted. Her Lolita dress was tattered, revealing large patches of charred skin.

A gaze filled with disgust, jealousy, ruthlessness, and madness pierced through the wall of fire, as if it wanted to nail itself to Yu Xing, who was holding a watering can.

"She's here!" Zeng Lai felt goosebumps all over his body from Alice's gaze. An extremely dangerous feeling pressed down on him from all directions, almost suffocating him.

He felt so much pressure just from being caught in someone's peripheral vision; Yu Xing, who was being stared at by Alice?

Zeng Lai turned her head to look with some concern, only to see Yu Xing turn her head to the side, showing Alice the back of her head.

"..." It turns out they never intended to make eye contact with Alice.

He turned back, his eyes fixed on Alice. With Alice's abilities, if she were to rush in, the two of them would have no chance to escape in the cramped room.

I wish Alice could go slower... much slower...

Zeng Lai prayed in his heart, and found that facing Alice was not as difficult as he had imagined.

He's a gambler, you know. In this situation, he's just gambling on whether he can survive.

Alice crawled up from the crushed flowerbed, her face contorted, a hoarse groan escaping her throat. She had indeed shed her former robotic body. However, this reptilian form was perhaps not what she desired.

As she watched the tourists destroying her precious roses, a piercing scream suddenly rang out, and she nimbly scrambled towards the hole in the thorn wall.

"Be careful." As soon Zeng Lai saw her, he felt his wounds all over his body itch. He took out the only sacrificial scissors that could be considered a weapon, assumed a defensive posture, and reminded Yu Xing.

Yu Xing couldn't turn back; he was still worried about the hatred Alice had for his face. But when he heard Alice's commotion, he immediately smiled and said, "She's afraid of fire."

Zeng Lai was slightly taken aback. Sure enough, when Alice tried to climb over the thorns towards them, she was burned by the flames and took a big step back in great pain.

"She can't get in?" Zeng Lai was pleasantly surprised for a moment, followed by astonishment. He didn't believe that this wall of fire could stop Alice. This was almost the final moment, and it was impossible for the deducer not to cause harm to the deducer.

His experience proved to be correct.

Yu Xing and Zeng Lai didn't know why Alice was afraid of fire. They had skipped a lot of the plot by taking shortcuts, but obviously, for Alice now, being roasted by fire again was easier to accept than having her rose, which she depended on for survival, destroyed.

Alice, now a vengeful Alice, showed a struggle in her eyes and tried to get closer to the flames.

As she watched the filthy, impure blood being poured onto her beloved roses, her struggle lessened, replaced by a resolute and ruthless determination.

Alice in her ghost form doesn't have strong thinking abilities; she acts almost entirely on instinct.

Her instincts are jealousy, stinginess, possessiveness, bloodlust, and madness.

She's going to kill! Even if she's burned alive, she'll tear any tourist who dares touch her treasures to pieces!

"Gambler Senior," Yu Xing calmly called out as Alice eagerly prepared to enter, her eyes fixed on the thirty-second countdown, "Fifteen seconds left, and we'll succeed."

Alice has decided to brave the flames and tear them to pieces.

Zeng Lai heard a signal in those words: if they did nothing, Alice would definitely rush in within ten seconds and tear them to pieces in five. Luckily, she was telling him to do something.

He was about to say, "Then I'll go out and stall for time," when Yu Xing continued, "You water the flowers for me, I'll go and distract her."

What?

Zeng Lai truly admired Yu Xing. At this moment, if Yu Xing hadn't spoken up, the most dangerous task of attracting attention would never have fallen on Zeng Lai, who was watering the flowers.

"She might not chase after you if you go out; you don't have enough hatred points." Due to the urgency, Yu Xing spoke quickly, not allowing Zeng Lai to refuse.

Zeng Lai thought about it and realized that it was true. He had already risked everything to protect Hua, so even if he ran out and danced a shoulder-shaking dance in front of Alice would probably only put him on the "die later" list.

He deftly took the watering can from Yu Xing's hand, and naturally received the system's countdown notification, which was following Yu Xing's; there were ten seconds left.

Taking the watering can, Zeng Lai still had one question.

His hatred level isn't high enough, but is Xing's enough? Right, Xing participated in the previous version of Alice's Park and seems to have some grudge against Alice from that time.

But is that enough for Alice to give up the rose?

Yu Xing also had this concern, but he felt that there was no need to make Alice give up the rose; he only needed to provoke Alice to abandon her reason.

His face should be pretty good.

At the very least, he's different from Zeng Lai. He can withstand Alice's tearing and force himself to last for ten seconds, but Zeng Lai can't; if he gets torn apart, he's completely finished.

Not far away, Alice had already stepped halfway into the thorns. The flames instantly engulfed her, and she was like a human gasoline, completely enveloped by the flames in an instant. Just by looking at her, you could see the pain Alice was in.

Not to mention the screams that came out of her mouth.

Even so, she kept a close eye on Zeng Lai, who had taken over from Yu Xing and started watering the flowers, making Zeng Lai break out in a cold sweat.

Alice burst into the secret room!

Her target was Zeng Lai, who was watering the flowers!

She brushed past Yu Xing, and the next second, the person who had been tilting their head turned around and gave her a mocking smile, "Hey~ haven't seen you in a while, you're even uglier than when you were a robot."

If given a choice, Yu Xing would prefer to use euphemistic language to provoke someone's anger rather than resorting to such unsophisticated phrasing.

Attacking someone's appearance is the most basic form of behavior.

However, Alice accepted the Great Wizard's flower only to obtain a beautiful human body, indicating that she valued appearance highly. Moreover, she couldn't understand advanced language techniques, and besides, his face was far more useful than his words.

Alice glanced instinctively at the person who spoke, and the moment she saw Yu Xing's face, her blood-red eyes widened in shock. The thief she had been searching for was right in front of her!

While Alice was still stunned, Yu Xing took two steps over the thorns, enduring the burning pain of the flames, and waited at the cave entrance for a second.

"It's you!!!"

Alice managed to squeeze out some characters that the two of them could understand, so Yu Xing scoffed at her again.

"I had no idea I was so charming that a Female Ghost would remember me for so long." He took a step back, and seeing Alice briefly forget about the flowers as he had hoped and begin to pounce on him, he became even more audacious. "Unfortunately, if you were a little more attractive, I might have been moved and accepted you. But with your appearance, I'm truly terrified."

Alice was furious.

She couldn't fathom Yu Xing's motives for saying these things, but her instincts told her that she couldn't tolerate what he was saying.
