Title: Cornelia’s Favorite Sitcom
“Let’s investigate upstairs next.”
Dekan said to the group.
They were currently at the end of the first-floor corridor.
The keys to rooms 103 to 105 were all missing.
Engaging the werewolf here wasn’t a good idea.
Luring the enemy upstairs and then engaging would undoubtedly be the safest choice.
Upstairs, they had a natural geographical advantage.
They could both attack and defend.
Even if an unexpected situation occurred, Dekan and Cornelia could retreat into the bedroom.
Their Plan A was for Cornelia to get closer to the other four people after reaching the second floor.
When Dekan would summon the Ruined Bard out of the other girls’ sight, Cornelia would quickly strike whoever showed the most dramatic expression.
This tested Cornelia’s reaction speed.
Cornelia needed to strike the enemy with a devastating blow before the werewolf revealed its true form.
Otherwise, if the werewolf activated the “Frenzy” spell, both Dekan and Cornelia would be in trouble.
Still, even if they couldn’t win, they could always retreat into one of the second-floor rooms, so there’d be no danger.
Once the ten-minute duration passed, the game would again be single-sided torture of the werewolf.
Dekan turned around, preparing to head towards the upstairs staircase.
Since earlier, Cornelia had been naturally closing the distance with the other four girls as part of the plan, while gradually maintaining her distance from Dekan.
But at that moment,
a barrier of holy light separated Dekan and Cornelia.
Before Dekan could look back and attempt to break the barrier, he saw the assassin sister of the twins already appear near Cornelia like a ghost.
She suddenly hugged Cornelia from behind, grabbed her wrist, and quickly retreated back to her sister’s side.
Then the assassin sister held a dagger to Cornelia’s neck.
Her expression became somewhat vicious, her teeth clenched, vigilantly staring at Dekan, afraid he’d make a move.
She knew Dekan was an extremely dangerous person.
After all, she’d suffered greatly at Dekan’s hands yesterday!
That damned poison still tormented her.
She didn’t know how Dekan managed to concoct it, even purification magic couldn’t dispel it.
If her sister hadn’t been able to continuously treat her and alleviate the pain, she might not have been able to endure it last night.
This morning, just to maintain a normal expression, she almost cracked her teeth.
“I know you’re strong, but if you move rashly, I’ll kill this frail detective girl.”
The assassin sister yelled at Dekan.
“…”
Even though Dekan’s expression remained calm, his brows were already furrowed.
Such an expression pleased the assassin sister.
It seemed she had made the right risky move.
Now if they didn’t seize this rare opportunity to hold Cornelia hostage, they might not have another chance to overturn the situation once they got upstairs.
“Hold your hands up and back off, keep a distance from us.”
The assassin sister growled.
Dekan didn’t say anything, just nodded, and began retreating step by step according to the assassin sister’s demand.
Seeing Dekan following instructions, the assassin sister felt a bit relieved.
They had wagered correctly; he cared greatly for the detective girl’s safety.
So it continued until Dekan was thirty meters away from them, and the assassin sister finally displayed a victorious smile.
She looked at Dekan quite self-satisfied.
“I’ve endured your smug expression for too long. Aren’t you supposed to be calm? But you can also panic, right?”
The assassin sister sneered.
Dekan tightly bit his lips.
His eyes couldn’t conceal remorse and panic, and his tightly clenched fists trembled slightly, as if he had encountered an insurmountable crisis.
Lilith and her guard’s expressions became very serious, but they didn’t dare to move rashly.
They had already grasped the grim situation.
The twin sisters were hostile challengers who had seized the opportunity to capture the detective girl, thereby threatening the strongest fighter on site – Dekan.
It was clear from their conversation that the person responsible for the wolves’ misery last night was indeed Dekan.
His combat strength was truly terrifying.
But now, even with all his power, his flaw was too obvious.
As long as they controlled the detective girl, they controlled him!
“I’ll give my life if you don’t harm her.”
Dekan shouted.
From his trembling voice, you could tell that he was genuinely panicked.
But inside, Dekan was starting to grin.
What amateurs.
The enemy had helped them activate Plan B.
Without the enemy’s help, this plan wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.
Would Cornelia not realize she was being held hostage?
Would she not be delighted to be approached so closely?
They were just waiting for such an opportunity for the werewolf to reveal itself!
The captured Cornelia was thoroughly enjoying Dekan’s performance.
She was becoming even happier.
If it weren’t for her hostage status, she would have already taken out some snacks.
Each time watching Dekan’s act was always one of her biggest pleasures.
“Which of you is the witch? Reveal yourself quickly!”
The assassin sister yelled at Lilith and her guard.
Lilith and her guard looked at each other, full of confusion, not understanding the assassin sister’s meaning.
Wasn’t the witch the twin sister?
Could it be that the assassin sister was the werewolf and the healer sister was not the witch?
“Apparently, you’re not witches either? So the witch must be the tenth person who hasn’t shown up yet.”
The assassin sister frowned and quickly drew this conclusion.
“Now we hold the advantage! If you don’t reveal yourself now, you’ll lose!”
The assassin sister angrily yelled at the air.
She needed to control the hostage now, making sure the strongest Dekan wouldn’t dare move rashly.
As long as she had more backup, she was confident she could take down all her opponents.
But no one responded.
This made her increasingly anxious.
That damned witch had been nowhere to be seen since the Shadow World started!
She should have been the werewolf, and her sister should have been the witch—that would have been normal.
But the identity of the witch had been snatched by someone else!
Just as the assassin sister was tense, focusing all attention on Dekan and Lilith,
“Bang!”
A tremendous force came from nowhere, with a sound signaling the shattering of the jawbone, instantly knocking the assassin sister unconscious.
Under the shocked gaze of everyone,
Cornelia delivered a powerful uppercut to the assassin sister’s chin, sending her flying backward.
…
“These two dumb sisters, if only they hadn’t chosen to hold Cornelia hostage, they might not have realized until now who the real hostage was.”
In the observation hall, all the students shook their heads in sighs.
In their eyes, these twin sisters had been pitiful since they took action.
They were once again manipulated by Dekan and Cornelia.
No matter how cunning and evil they were, before the Beautiful Soul Squad, they were as innocent as rabbits.
