The Incubus System Chapter 771. Drama

In that moment, adrenaline coursed through my veins.

I reminded myself that the fake ghosts were designed to scare us, not physically harm us. Whatever was trying to touch me or pull me away must be something out of the ordinary.

With newfound resolve, I reached out into the darkness, my hand groping the ghostly hand. It felt cold and insubstantial.

Without hesitation, I pulled and slammed the hand down with a swift motion.

To my surprise, a woman’s groan of pain sounded, mingled with the sound of something falling to the ground.

The lights suddenly flickered back on.

Before us lay a girl dressed in a ghost costume. She cradled her wrist. Her eyes met mine. It was clear that she had not expected her ruse to be exposed so abruptly.

My eyes widened. I recognized the fake ghost. The all-black robe and hideous mask had been meant to conceal her identity, but her voice and status above her head had been unmistakable.

“I think I know you.”

I reached for the mask to remove it, revealing none other than Ruby.

“Ruby, what are you doing here?” I asked.

Ruby stumbled to explain.

“I—I’m working here,” she reasoned, her voice stammering. She tried to maintain an air of nonchalance. But it was obvious that she was lying.

Her nervous demeanor only added to the suspicion.

“How about the maid café?” Celia interjected, her voice laced with skepticism.

Ruby’s eyes darted between us, searching for a way to defend herself.

“This is just my side job,” she protested, but her shaky voice betrayed her deceit.

“I don’t buy it,” I chimed in. “It’s too much of a coincidence that you just happen to be working here when we decided to visit the haunted house.”

Ruby’s attempt to manipulate the situation with her theatrical display.

Feigning innocence, she posed as if she were a victim of bullying, tucking her legs to the sides and pretending to sob.

Her dramatic performance reminded me of Larry.

“You don’t believe me?” Ruby pleaded, her voice quivering with false vulnerability.

My head shook in denial, my eyes locked on hers, refusing to back down.

“After you slammed me, you also doubted me. Why did you do that to me, Ethan?” Her voice quivered with feigned hurt.

Her acting performance seemed to reach new heights of melodrama.

I exchanged glances with Celia and Tiffany, and we couldn’t help but cringe at the display.

“Cause’ we know you lied?” I retorted.

She grunted and dramatically put her hands on the floor.

“So cruel…” she sobbed again.

Deciding to put aside Ruby’s dramatic display for the moment, we collectively chose to ignore her.

I turned to Celia and Tiffany.

“I’m a little hungry. Should we grab some food?”

Celia’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Burger sounds nice,” she chirped.

“And I need my fried fries,” Tiffany added, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

“Right, let’s go,” I said, leading the way out of the haunted house.

We were about to make our way toward the exit, but Ruby’s voice called out to me once again.

“Ethan!” she called.

I turned to face her, giving her my usual flat stare.

“What?” I asked in annoyance.

Ruby took a deep breath, her shoulders rising and falling, pretending to let out a silent sob. “Can you pick me up?” she asked, her voice vulnerable and childlike.
