Chapter 1171: Chapter 529: Nun Lilith

"Retrospection..."

Mu You silently pressed the pocket watch again.

[Time flows, and you are back to ten seconds ago.]

[The woman in red on the second floor has just vanished, you catch up again, and despite knowing the staircase is problematic, this time you bypass the stairs and choose to climb along the wall.]

[Noiselessly, you ascend to the second floor without stirring any commotion.]

[Upon reaching the second floor, the woman in red is long gone, but not far from the dining table at its center, there appears to be a newspaper, conveniently under a desk lamp.]

[You hasten toward it, pick up the newspaper, and immediately notice the striking red headline, ’Mother of God or Demon? Monastery nun Lilith slaughters eleven adopted sons overnight!’]

[Below the headline, there is a complete detailed report, and in addition, a photograph. In the photo, a woman in red stands with a knife amidst a pool of blood; beneath her lie eleven children with indistinguishable features, and the woman, slightly bowing her head, gazes at the camera with a sly grin, hauntingly similar to that of Mad Jack you had just encountered...]

Mu You frowned as he read.

Could this nun from the report be the so-called ’True Master’?

The ghost of the woman in red obviously wanted to lead him here, to see this newspaper. But the report in the paper was unfavorable to her. The woman in red must have known he came to help her; so why would she want to lead him to see a report that’s against her own interest?

The only possibility is that there is a trick in the report, and it isn’t the truth...

As Mu You was pondering, a textbox suddenly popped up in the game.

["Found! You! Hehehe..." A sharp, thin voice unexpectedly erupts in front of you; instinctively lifting your head, you see Mad Jack has somehow drawn near in the darkness ahead, flashing a lecherous smile at you...]

[Before you even have a chance to react, Mad Jack has already teleported and pounces, an axe slicing across your chest, splitting you in two...]

"Damn..."

Mu You cursed under his breath, this guy was relentlessly haunting him, he hurriedly pressed the watch to go back in time.

[Time flows, and you reappear in front of the dining table.]

[Without time to look closely, you quickly activate ’Godspeed’, snatch the newspaper from the table, and bolt.]

[Shortly after you leave the spot, an axe whistles through the air, shredding the dining table into pieces.]

[A roar from Mad Jack follows, his voice clearly filled with fury...]

"Too fast..."

Mu You thought to himself that it was a good thing he had learnt Godspeed before, and had the help of the divine artifact like the pocket watch. Otherwise, if it were anyone else entering here, facing an invincible vampire, they would have been dead several times over by now.

[Before Godspeed fades, you make your escape as lightly as possible into the depths of the second floor.]

[The second floor is a residential section, filled with numerous guest rooms, corridors carpeted and crisscrossing each other like a maze...]

[Wandering aimlessly through the maze of corridors, you soon enter one of the long hallways.]

[Just as you are about to briskly cross, at the end of the corridor two identical girls holding hands materialize from thin air, both looking and dressed exactly the same.]

["Come, join us, become part of this place!" The twins invite, each stretching a hand towards you with a smile.]

[You can’t help but feel their smiles are so pure and healing that your body unconsciously walks towards them.]

[A flash of red suddenly streaks past you; when you look again, the twins at the end of the corridor have fallen into a pool of blood, their bodies gruesomely mangled. The once pristine corridor is now filled with blood and shredded flesh.]

[You snap back to reality, urgently turning and fleeing towards the other end of the corridor.]

[However, at that end, a wave of crimson liquid suddenly gushes out from behind a curtain, like a tide of red rum, surging madly towards you. You choose...]

"Just go through it!"

The scenes here might be unfamiliar to people from the Star Spirit World, but players from Earth should easily recognize them - they are two iconic scenes from the movie "The Shining."

Clearly, the mansion was built by the Admin, drawing inspiration from the film, and according to the movie’s content, this is all Flash Spirit imagery, not reality.

[You treat the sea of blood like it’s nothing, closing your eyes and charging through.]

[The wave of blood quickly sweeps past you, without causing any hindrance.]

[When you open your eyes, all the strange phenomena have vanished, leaving the normal hallway scene.]

["No!" Suddenly, you hear a desperate shout.]

[You turn to look and see that Mad Jack has somehow drawn near you again, but he doesn’t attack you; instead, he falls to his knees where the twins had just flashed back, crying and weeping in despair, his hands trembling as he picks something up from the ground, yet holding nothing but empty air as if performing a pantomime...]

Mu You was taken aback.

He didn’t expect the Flash Spirit imagery from before hadn’t fooled himself, but had trapped this murderer.

Considering the mansion’s backstory, these twins were clearly this killer’s daughters; the man seemingly couldn’t distinguish reality from illusion at the moment, seeing his two daughters gruesomely dead and immediately breaking down.

Recalling the ’flash of red’ prompt from the text notification earlier, Mu You speculated that it was the woman in red lending a hand at the crucial moment. Although she couldn’t attack directly, she could create Flash Spirit scenes. She had used it to snap him back to his senses earlier, while simultaneously causing the murderer to have a mental breakdown.
