Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 136 135. Who Are You?

"I… I…." The girl stuttered as her fingers tightened around the spoon she was holding.

She swallowed a lump of saliva as she closed her eyes and opened them. Her arms had turned skinnier, indicating that she hadn't had enough food for a while. It was more accurate to say that she didn't eat or drink anything. Her lips became chapped as a result of this.

Shane frowned as he continued to stare down at the food through the girl's eyes. At this time, the girl again started to control her body as she trembled. So Shane could only watch as her eyes started to blur. Tears dropped one after another on the food as she shook her head.

She raised his eyes and looked over at the stunned butler. "Please, don't…. I don't want to eat…."

"My lady…." The butler had a complicated expression on his face as he sighed. "You must eat! I have especially prepared your favorite food! Please, have some!"

The girl trembled even more so much that she fell to the ground. Her limbs shook rapidly from head to toe. Her heart clenched as she started having a panic attack.

The butler finally showed an anxious expression on his face. He immediately called the servants.

"Call the hospital! Be quick! She's having another one of her attacks!"

"On it!"

The servants were all panicked seeing the girl in such a condition, but none of them were surprised. It was almost as if they had seen such a situation before.

The scene abruptly changed after that. At this time, the girl was sitting in one of the couches as she had an IV drip attached to her wrist. At this time, the girl looked increasingly weak so much that her cheeks sunk deeper. The dark circles beneath her eyes grew darker and darker, making her looked like a dead person.

If it weren't for her eyelids, it would be hard for anyone to consider her alive anymore.

Things were even strange as she continued to stare at the tea table in a daze. The butler bit his lips and was about to open his mouth to say something when the doorbell rang.

He immediately left everything and rushed to the door. Shane couldn't see anything after that. He could just hear the sound of the door opening through the girl's body.

"Doctor, please come. Her condition had turned worse. What exactly happened?"

"Don't worry. I'll handle it," said a man in his forties as he walked inside the room.

Shane heard the sound of footsteps echoing on the cold floor. Then he saw a pair of legs appear in front of the girl's eyes.

She still didn't move.

When the other person saw this, he sighed. He gently patted her hair.

"Little girl, can you speak? Why did this happen? You can tell me."

Suddenly, the girl's body started shaking terribly. It was almost as if the panic attack had taken a worse route.

"Okay, okay. Don't tell me. Calm down, yeah?" the doctor said as he reached into his bag for something. "Here, I brought you a doll. You have always wanted it, haven't you?"

The girl stopped trembling as her eyes flashed at the doll for a second. Her hands trembled as she raised them toward the thing. Then, in the blink of an eye, she snatched it and hugged the doll to her bosom.

"Good that you like it," said the doctor as he sighed in relief.

The butler also smiled, thinking there was hope now that the lady had accepted the doll.

Shane frowned. He knew that things wouldn't get better. It would probably turn out to be worse than the butler's imagination. Since all the servants and the butler ended inside a picture, he could tell something had happened, and it was related to this girl right here.

Just then, the scene changed again. This time, the girl was walking downstairs without anyone to see her. She seemed nervous as her weak body stepped one foot after another while her hand held the railing perfectly.

Shane could already feel the cold sweat forming on the girl's neck. The IV drip was also in her hands as she took it downstairs.

None of the servants or the butler were around right now. They must be sleeping since it is late at night.

She soon reached the place she wanted to be—the main door. She swiftly pulled out the keys and opened the door before stepping out silently into the night. After going out, her shoulders relaxed as she took a deep breath.

It felt like she was a prisoner who had been released after a long sentence.

She curiously glanced at the sky and every other place, feeling a sprout of happiness in her heart.

The girl grinned as she thought about how beautiful the stars appeared from the outside.

Suddenly, the panicked voice of the butler echoed from the palace inside. "My lady!!!! Where are you?"

The girl froze as she quickly escaped and hid behind a tree. She nervously looked here and there, trying to find some clue about where she should go.

Then she saw a light blinking at a distance on the other side of the road. She didn't think twice before rushing in that direction. Since everywhere was dark and that was the only light she could see, she immediately made her way there.

The closer she reached, the more she could see what that light was!

It turned out to be a small house with a flickering porch lamp. So it was this lamp that attracted her attention.

She hid behind a tree close by and stared at the house for a second. When no one came out, the girl yawned and walked toward the door.

She was truly tired now.

Soon, she pushed open the door, which was surprisingly unlocked, and entered the house. As soon as she entered, she closed the door behind her and leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths.

Just when she thought her troubles had ended, she heard an unfamiliar voice echoing into the background. "Do you know why you came here?"

When she heard a young man's voice, the girl froze. She turned instantly toward a man standing in front of her in top-brand robes. His hands were in his pockets as he stared at the girl with his strangely red eyes.

"No…. who are you?"

I should be asking you that question. Why did you come here?

Shane frowned as he looked at the man for a second. This person seemed familiar. Where had he seen him?

He suddenly realized where! One of the guests who had entered the palace included this man too! He would always stand in one corner, all alone. He neither participated nor spoke about the mission. He would always have a very low sense of presence.

So it was hard to notice him at a single glance. If it weren't for Shane suddenly taking a picture of all the guests, he wouldn't have realized such a thing!

Shane sighed and continued to watch the entire scene.

The man walked closer and said, "Little girl, I have something to ask. Do you want your wishes to be fulfilled? Do you want to kill the butler and those servants at your house?"

The girl's eyes sparkled as her fingers curled to form a fist. She nodded after a pause.

The man's lips curled up into a sneer. He walked closer and bent over the girl.

"What will I get to help you? You have nothing."

The girl felt a trace of anxiety in her eyes. She glanced at the doll in her hand and raised it in front of the man.

Then she said, in a soft voice, "Take it."

The man raised his brows and laughed aloud all of a sudden. He took hold of the doll and nodded. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

"Fine, I'll take this doll of yours. Don't worry, I'll take good care of it."

After that, he turned around and went inside. Only then did the girl look at the surroundings.

It was a homely living room with a fireplace at the side. The place where the man went was probably his bedroom. He came out right after with a locket and chain in his hands. He quickly handed it over.

"Wear this around your neck at all times. Don't take it out, no matter what. If you do, you die."

The girl's face was pale as she trembled. She didn't even want to touch that thing at all. Why would she want to take something that might kill her all of a sudden?

Just then, she heard the man say, "This locket will fulfill all of your wishes. It will make your dreams come true if you want them to. If you want to get rid of that butler and those servants, it'll make that happen too! The world will be at your feet with this locket, but don't take it off, yeah?" 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

The girl stared deeply into the man's eyes and hesitated for a while before stuttering, "Wh-Why?"

"I'm not that generous, mind you. I just wanted the doll. Okay? Does that answer your questions?"

No, but the girl said nothing. She finally took the locket and tied it around her neck. Then she nodded before getting out of the place.
