'Ah, fuck,'
Even before I could take a nap, I heard the system informing about the arrival of the entities for whom I initially wanted to co into this room.
Even yesterday, I had felt how this chilling sensation vanished when I ca into this room.
Maybe due to the illusion cast within it, strong enough, I did not feel anything.
And even now there was no chilling sensation like yesterday, making feel that this room was strong enough to protect from ghosts.
Swish.
'....'
I was just thinking how it was dayti and without having that chill running through my spine, I would not get terrified, but suddenly the window of the balcony swung open with cold air coming inside from outside, making visibly chill as I looked outside, finding no one, given it was dayti and it shouldn't have been ti for ghosts' arrival.
Yet they were here for God knows what.
// Help....please help //
And then suddenly ca two voices, appearing like four due to being overlapped and layered over each other, giving the vibe of those ghost movies.
Though this was far more chilling and terrifying than normal, I could not sense them near my domain, but it was clear that the ghosts were really trying to communicate with .
It was both terrifying and at the sa ti making curious as to why they were asking for help.
Was this the sa plot where so spirits asked for salvation through so chosen one or sothing?
Yet for formality, I inquired, "Whom should I save?"
// You can hear us? //
"....Don't break the vibe."
Hearing the sudden change in tone, as both of the voices seed completely surprised.
Unlike begging for help, it was a clear change in vibe, as they were clearly softer, making clarify; considering if they spoke like that, let alone fear, I would not even pay attention to their words.
// ....Oh, Please save our daughter.....Please //
And finally, they revealed that they wanted to save their daughter, whom I definitely did not know, let alone these ghosts.
Yet thinking that maybe Kyle was aware of them, I just inquired, "Whom are you talking about?"
My voice was firm and composed, consistent.
At least there was no chill like last night in the room, giving far better overall conditions than last night to keep sane enough to interrogate so ghosts.
// Olea...our dear daughter...Olea //
'!?!'
'Heh? What?'
With my body slowly standing up from the chair, eyes set on the windows where I could not see anyone yet hear their voices, I felt the revelation that the daughter they were talking about was none other than Olea made my whole body seem stagnant at the mont while clearly recalling the individuals who could refer to Olea as daughter, "B-black swans?"
Of course, it had to be her dead parents who were bound to kill Kyle as per the original plot.
Wait, did I just click my second death flag this soon?
// Y-you know us? So, IT WAS YOU! HOW DARE YOU SEND OUR DAUGHTER IN THERE! //
'!?'
Suddenly, there was a change in the voices of the entities, which particularly appeared from anger to be a male voice, yelling as it visibly showed its rage in the form of wind, causing to scratch my ears, understanding it could not do anything else except this while making calmly think that the place they were talking about where I sent Olea was, in particular, the death circle within the Arcutus territory.
'Shut up, you both senile idiots! You die leaving a little girl to fend for herself all her life and you have the audacity to yell at !'
I yelled back, clearly finding it ridiculous as to how it was easy to kill that ti's renowned assassins just like that, given they had definitely fallen into the trap due to so particular reason.
And whatever it was, it was big enough for them to abandon their sole daughter.
// .... //
'Tch, don't have any excuses?'
Clearly, the silence followed by that shout after hearing my words showed that indeed they were at fault for dying here.
Of course, to bla soone who was dead was the work of a trance.
Yet, I knew very well that if sohow I knew that my death would be inevitable if I went sowhere, then why would I even go there?
They were literally the smartest people, given them being one of the renowned assassins of that ti.
Yet they died at the hands of so demonic cultivator.
// It was your moth—Save our daughter, Please //
However, this ti ca the mixed voice of a male and then interrupted by a female one.
Though they were layered over each other, showing the chilling sensation, it appeared at least they cared for Olea and were trying to deliver so ssage to .
'Fine, is it related to the ego of that step bitch?'
Knowing well that most probably, due to Olea going into Arcutus territory, which I needed for her to avoid killing that night, may have offended the ego of that woman or who knows?
She from the start was using Olea as leverage to make these two ghosts work for her.
And due to sending Olea there, it most probably increased the pace of the things where she caught the attention of that woman, making these ghosts try to first contact .
// You are aware of her? //
Hearing them again surprised, it was clear that they would not expect to know that the one who bound them was none other than my stepmother.
Yet, knowing about that demonic woman, it was also clear that these ghosts were bound in a way they could not reveal the identity of that woman, which was why they were talking in such a cryptic tone.
Yet, knowing this, I just did not want to ask anything about that woman, which naturally they would not be able to answer due to forbidden pact.
I inquired the most important thing.
'Why were you both never able to kill Kyle?'
My voice was clearly determined and firm, asking for no exact reason why Kyle was never killed by these ghosts, who were strong enough to assassinate soone, as they were literally in a form that could not be tackled just by physical strength.
So for them to kill Kyle and get their freedom and salvation, why didn't they kill him?
// Because of your moth— //

"Huh?!" Even before I could clearly hear their voices, I was interrupted by sudden sounds of alerts and notifications, filled with crimson screens all over my eyes. I stood there completely stunned, my mind going into a trance as I looked towards the red screens popping up, revealing several alerts.
'N-no, h-how...'
After seeing the data on the system screen, I knew that Aleriana's life was in danger. It was an instant reaction as my eyes snapped towards the door of the room before I hurled.
