Anna's lips, which were smirking, gradually parted. Anna's once kind eyes suddenly became dark and wrinkled, like a goblin.
I just had to wait a little longer!!!!!!
"Uh?"
It happened in an instant that Simone's hand was pulled.
“Ahh!”
The fake cruelly pulled Simone's hand and brought it to her mouth.
“This is crazy! Hey!"
Simone hurriedly tried to pull her hand away, but it was no use. Its power was very strong, while Simone's power was very weak compared to an ordinary person.
"Ah! Let go of this!”
The hand that was pulled so helplessly was rolled around in its mouth and chewed.
To be exact, not hands, but fingernails. It was shaking as if it was going to pull out my fingernails.
“Ugh!”
It was so painful that Simine was in tears.
“W-what are you talking about...!”
At that time, the employees who came in after hearing the commotion in the room were startled and ran to see Anna and Simone.
“What is this! Simone! Anna!"
Mhhhhhh!
Anna smiled even as she was pulled by the workers. She laughed, her lips wet with the blood that flowed from Simone's hand.
You all saw it. You all heard it. You all heard it. You all saw it. You all heard it.
“Oh, damn it! It hurts like a dog!”
Eventually, harsh words came out of Simone's mouth. Did you say that when people are in trouble, their brains actually work faster?
Her thoughts were limited to 'I need to remove the bitten hand', but she finally started to think of another way.
Black mana began to flow from Simone's bitten hand.
What is overflowing is the mana in this body. If she doesn't use it in times like this, when will she use it?
Black mana quickly filled the fake's mouth and flowed out.
“Huh!”
When the startled employees took a step back without realizing it, the fake trembled, made an expression of extreme pain, and let go of Simone's hand.
Ugh! Ugh! Wow!
“You crazy bastard! Hey, where is Anna? Hey, it hurts so bad!”
Simone held her bleeding hands and cursed. She was so angry that she couldn't stand it.
How dare. How dare you touch Anna?
You have to touch the people you want to touch.
Anna was the only person Simone could care about here.
Creak!!!
The fake was in pain from the black mana in its mouth, pushed away the users gathered around it, and began to run away through the open door.
“Hold that!”
“Yes, yes?”
The panicked guard looked at Simone, not knowing what to do. Wow, it's so frustrating that she'll be on guard. Simone clicked her tongue and hurriedly started chasing the fake.
***
“Huh... OMG...”
Simone frowned and looked at the fake Anna who was running away. The closer it got to the basement, the more bizarre and hideous its appearance became.
Now it started to crawl like a four-legged animal in the shape of a human.
It was like that the first time it bit Simone's hand, but it's hard to bear to see it behave like that in Anna's form.
So, the employees couldn't properly deal with the situation and were just standing around acting like idiots.
“Ha, ha...”
More than that, why are all the monsters that came out of this mansion's curse so fast?
"Damn it."
Simone, who had been running endlessly from the room to the basement, from end to end of this huge mansion, and up and down, stopped.
"Ha!"
She gets annoyed while running. She took off the shoes she was wearing and threw them at the fake.
It looked a little like Anna on the outside, but it wasn't the real Anna, so she didn't feel any compunction at all even if she threw a hard shoe at it.
Wow!!!!
The shoes she threw hit the fake one squarely.
“Aaaah! W-what is that!”
“Si, Simone?”
“Ghost, ghost! No, it’s a monster!”
"Dangerous!"
All the employees in the basement were watching the chase between Simone and Fake in the hallway.
But Simone didn't care about any of that.
There is no fear whatsoever in this chase. There is only a scared fake and an angry Simone.
Simone bloomed with mana. A huge mana shadow appeared behind Simone.
Is it possible not to be scared in front of such greatness? The workers who were watching the two were embarrassed and left the place.
Sigh! Squeak!
The size of the fake Simone was chasing began to gradually decrease.
As the chase continued, Simone thought.
'I don't think it would be difficult to boost my mana every time I'm in a rush, right?'
She just realized for herself that it is very difficult to control mana so that people do not get hurt while running and running like she is now.
Ah, this is why wizards in the game cannot move while casting.
Should she just make something like an amulet filled with black mana? Just like in movies and dramas, it is a talisman that disappears when attached to ghosts.
The reason Simone thought about such useless things during this tense chase was because running was so difficult.
Since she didn't exercise and only ate rice with this skinny body, she wouldn't have gained muscle and would have gained weight.
In fact, she felt like she had less stamina than when she first came.
'I'm just going to do some exercise.'
Simone lost her temper again and slapped the remaining shoe at the girl who could no longer be called Anna.
“You want me to stop?”
The shoe fell squarely on the head of the crawling monster.
Sludge!
Perhaps because it was quite painful, the monster finally began to slowly reveal its true identity.
The monster's size gradually decreased, its skin shrunk, its long hair began to sprout, and its mouth protruded into a long snout.
'Uh?'
Simone flinched and stopped.
"What's this...”
She was really embarrassed.
Squeak!
'Do you know that it's a disguised rat?'
She remembered what she had said to Louis earlier.
This is a folk tale about a rat that transforms and takes over as the owner while the owner leaves the house.
And now, there is a rat in front of Simkne.
This was what Simone had been chasing with anger until now.
"Really...A rat?”
It felt like her head, which had been working fine, had stopped working.
Is it possible?
Could something strange, similar to a Korean folktale, happen here by chance?
'Does that make sense?'
But Simone soon had to hide her confusion.
“What is this fuss about?”
After hearing that Simone was chasing a monster disguised as a human, Grand Duke Illeston came to the basement.
Simone stared at Grand Duke Illeston with her eyes wide open and then stepped on the tail of the rat that was trying to run away.
Squeak! Snap! Squeak!
The mouse cried loudly and struggled to escape. Grand Duke Illeston's eyes turned to the rat.
“What is that?”
“A rat.”
“...”
The Grand Duke of Illeston glanced at Simone.
You didn't ask that now, did you?
Simone corrected what she said with her eyes.
“This is the identity of one of the curses written in the instructions.”
“...This?"
“Didn’t you come here after hearing the news?”
Grand Duke Illeston frowned when he saw the mouse stepped on by Simone's feet and the fresh blood dripping from her fingers.
There was a sudden commotion in this quiet mansion, so he came out and was surprised to see that the hallway and Simone's room were covered in blood and that the blood continued along the hallway.
He heard the whole story from Kaylee, the servant in charge of Simone.
He thought she was just playing around until she found the Saint's Desire, but before he knew it, she was breaking another curse.
The blood on the floor and table belonged to Simone, and the Grand Duke of Illeston, who had heard that she chased after the monster alone while the workers were shocked and unconscious.
Grand Duke Illeston's eyes stayed on Simone's injured hand for a long time. The wound looks very deep, not to mention the amount of blood that has flowed.
'Does that mean she chased away the curse?'
It didn't feel very good.
“So is it all over now?”
Simone shook her head. The cause of the curse has been caught, but it's not over yet.
Because Anna did not come back.
“I did catch it.”
Simone doesn't know where this bastard hid Anna, or whether Anna is alive and well in the first place.
She had no idea that it was actually a mouse. Isn’t this how conversation won’t work?
Grand Duke Illeston tilted his head at Simone's perplexed appearance.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Usually, if you remove the cause of the problem, everything will be solved...”
But what if she kills Anna rashly and something goes wrong? How could she kill this rat, even if she left Anna behind?
Simone, or rather Seo Hyun-jeong, had never killed even a single living ant in her life.
Moreover, killing an animal that squeaks so hard is a little... It takes determination.
It was then.
“What should I do? It not moving. can I kill it?”
"Yes?... Ugh!”
“Aaaah!”
It happened in an instant. Grand Duke Ilestone took out the sword from his belt and stabbed the rat to death without a second thought.
The workers covered their eyes and screamed, and Simone was so shocked that she couldn't even make a voice, and looked at Grand Duke Illeston. Grand Duke Illeston frowned and said as if it was no big deal.
“We are not in a position to afford even the slightest sympathy for lifting the curse.”
“This is the identity of one of the curses written in the instructions.”
“...This?"
“Didn’t you come here after hearing the news?”
Grand Duke Illeston frowned when he saw the mouse stepped on by Simone's feet and the fresh blood dripping from her fingers.
