The Incubus System Chapter 772. Lie VS Lie
The three of us were left utterly speechless by Ruby's display.
"No," I said coldly.
But then, in a surprising twist, Ruby's eyes darkened, and a glint of something less innocent flashed within them.
"You better pick me up or I will scream that you have attacked me," she threatened, her voice taking on a dangerous edge.
At the entrance, we were sternly warned not to attack or harm the staff.
Ruby's threat felt like a low blow.
"But I know you're not staff," I retorted, my voice firm.
She tried to get up, but her movements were constrained, and she flinched in pain.
My eyes darted to the status above her head. I finally understood what had happened.
Despite my annoyance with Ruby's annoying behavior, I couldn't bring myself to ignore her. So, with a sigh of exasperation, I reached out and grabbed her hand to help her up.
As much as I disliked her tactics, I couldn't ignore her genuine love for me.
'Right... It was her fault that she tried to deceive us, but in the end, I have to help her,' I thought.
Despite her annoying antics, Ruby had shown moments of loyalty that I couldn't ignore. From Mrs. Clea's memories, I knew that she had defended me a lot.
"Thank you," Ruby said happily.
"Whatever. Just don't pull that stunt again," I replied, trying to keep my tone casual.
Before I could take another step, she fell onto me, clutching my hand tightly.
I let out an exasperated sigh.
"Sorry. But it looks like my leg is sprained," she said.
I already knew what she wanted.
"I will take you to the exit."
"But," I continued, my voice taking on a stern edge, "you have to be responsible for the costumes you stole or the staff you threatened," I told her.
I wasn't entirely sure if Ruby was responsible for it, but it seemed highly likely.
"I understand."
With that silent understanding, we began our slow walk out of the haunted house.
As we emerged from the haunted house, a staff member quickly approached us.
His eyes widened with concern when he saw Ruby, assuming she was one of the employees.
"Oh my, what happened?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.
Before I could say anything, Ruby spoke up.
"I'm okay," she said with a weak smile.
The staff member looked puzzled. "I thought you were one of our staff members," he admitted.
Ruby chuckled nervously.
"No, I'm not staff. I'm just a friend who got a little too into the Halloween spirit, I guess," she explained.
"Why were you pretending to be a staff member?" the staff member inquired.
Ruby's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"I just wanted to scare my friends," she confessed.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well, congratulations, you succeeded," I said sarcastically.
The staff member couldn't help but sigh at the situation.
"Well, just be careful next time," he warned.
Ruby shed her ghostly disguise and return the costume to the staff.
"I'm really sorry about this," Ruby apologized as she handed over the costume and the mask. "I didn't mean to cause any trouble."
The staff member looked at her.
"It's alright. Halloween can get a little crazy around here," he said.
Ruby nodded. She had feared that she might be fined for impersonating a staff member, but it seemed luck was on her side this time.
"I promise I won't do anything like this again," Ruby assured him sincerely. "Thank you for not being too hard on me."
The staff member nodded and waved her off. "No worries. Just enjoy the rest of your time at the park."
With that, Ruby rejoined us without our permission.
