Quickly.
The remaining Bloody Mary vanished in a flash. In front of the villa, only Yelai and the feigning Gaze remained, along with more than a dozen Bloody Mary corpses. Yelai inhaled the lingering scent of fear they left behind, deciding against pursuing the remaining Bloody Mary. After all, it was unwise to chase a desperate foe, especially since one of them was a Rank 8 Bloody Mary. If they reacted and he found himself in danger, it would be problematic, considering this was ultimately a world where Bloody Mary thrived.
Once he absorbed all the residual fear in the area, Yelai felt his Rank progress. It had increased since his arrival. He wasn't surprised; the number of Bloody Mary had been relatively small, and their fear had dissipated quickly as they fled. The fact that he could still gain progress was already commendable. Ultimately, it was due to the presence of the Rank 8 Bloody Mary among them.
Time to get up.
After confirming that there were no Bloody Mary nearby, Yelai took out the Eyeballs from his mouth, revealing his form, and issued a command to Gaze. "Go into the villa and find a vessel. Help me collect the Heart's Blood from these Bloody Mary."
Although this time the increase in Rank progress from Absorb Fear was minimal, Yelai didn't feel disheartened. After all, he wasn't solely focused on increasing his Rank; he aimed to collect the Heart's Blood of the Bloody Mary to create their blood for himself.
Meanwhile, Gaze, possessing one of the Bloody Mary, crawled up from the ground. Following Yelai's instructions, it scampered into the villa.
Before long, it emerged carrying a bucket and spent three or four minutes draining all the Heart's Blood from the Bloody Mary corpses.
Looking at the bucket filled with Heart's Blood, a smile spread across Yelai's face. Having killed several Bloody Mary and with each yielding about a liter of Heart's Blood, he now had over a liter on hand. This amount exceeded the association's stipulated reward for surpassing a liter by more than double.
As Yelai thought about this, he felt excited about earning a significant number of Monthly Sequence Points and eagerly anticipated returning to have the association produce Bloody Mary's blood for him to consume.
He anticipated that this trip back would bring him a significant boost in his Rank progress.
Immediately, Yelai, carrying a bucket, walked back to the villa and headed towards the bathroom mirror.
"Take me back to the real world, Gaze," he said.
As Gaze heard this, one hand held the bucket while the other reached out to touch the mirror. The still surface of the mirror suddenly rippled like water.
Without hesitation, Yelai plunged his hand into it.
In the next moment, the seemingly solid surface of the mirror transformed into something resembling a body of water. His hand slipped through effortlessly, and as Yelai stepped fully into the mirror, he emerged on the other side.
Looking around at the bathroom environment, it seemed that nothing had changed after passing through the mirror. However, Yelai paid little attention to that and turned his head to gaze out of the bathroom window at the night sky.
The night was no longer blood-red; it had returned to a starry expanse.
Seeing this, Yelai realized he was back in the real world. He immediately looked at the mirror, intending to give Gaze a command to bring the bucket out.
But just as he opened his mouth, before any sound could escape his throat, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
Having spent three years outside Cthulhu Town, a place filled with Unknown Horrors and dangerous Anomalous Entities, Yelai had developed an extraordinary sensitivity to danger. At that moment, his instinctive alarm rang loud and clear.
Without thinking, Yelai swiftly moved to his left.
Swish!
A shadowy dagger whizzed past his cheek as he dodged just in time. The situation was perilous; the sharp blade of the dagger was less than a millimeter away from him.
