"Dean, burn it. Don't let it harm anyone anymore."
After regaining her composure, Kirsty looked at the box on the table.
Her expression was resolute, and she was determined to destroy this evil thing completely.
Benjamin knew that in the original story, when Kirsty wanted to burn the box, the Hermit Vagrant appeared and took it away.
However, having the box around now was a threat. It not only affected future plot developments but also attracted the Hermit's attention.
Benjamin looked at Kirsty's face, which clearly showed a hint of determination.
This girl was more capable of learning to grow than the average girl, but unfortunately, she couldn't escape her predetermined fate.
However, the Lighthouse held infinite possibilities. Once he surpassed Leviathan…
"Dean?"
Kirsty asked again.
"Okay, you said burn it, so burn it!"
The two walked to the barbecue grill in the yard, took the gasoline they had extracted from the wrecked car, and poured it on the box.
Just as the roaring fire began to burn in the oven, a lame homeless man, dressed in a dirty coat, appeared, limping precariously.
Ignoring the two people present, he walked directly to the oven, disregarding the flames, and reached into the fire to take out the box, which had been set ablaze with gasoline.
The flames from the box ignited his sleeve, then his entire body, turning him into a human torch.
But the homeless man remained unfazed. He turned, his body shuddered, and he transformed into a skeletal dragon carrying flames, flying eastward.
That was the direction of Morocco.
Kirsty stared in astonishment, frozen in place.
"I'll explain all this to you properly tonight," Benjamin said to Kirsty.
"Okay," Kirsty nodded. Although she had many questions, she trusted Benjamin.
A taxi pulled up by the roadside, and a middle-aged man in a brown suit hurriedly got out. His right hand was wrapped in thick bandages.
"Kirsty, are you alright?"
The man called out anxiously as he got out of the car. His eyes were red, clearly from crying.
It was Kirsty's father, Larry.
Kirsty had contacted her father when they arrived at the villa.
After answering Kirsty's call, Larry learned about the explosion at their house.
He hadn't been able to get through to Julie, and knowing Kirsty was at Benjamin's villa, he happened to be passing by on his way back to the cabin and rushed over.
He was crying because he had just received a call from the police saying they had found a burned female body inside the cabin.
Kirsty comforted her father, unsure how to explain.
At this moment, the police arrived at the door to inquire about the situation.
However, with Benjamin around, the scenario from the original story—Kirsty being directly locked up in a mental hospital—won't happen.
Money can solve many problems.
Since Larry's cabin had been destroyed, Benjamin arranged for him to stay in one of the three remaining vacant units.
That night, in Benjamin's bedroom.
Benjamin explained in detail to Kirsty everything about Hell, the cenobites, and the Lemarchand's Box.
"So, you're still in danger."
Kirsty, resting her head on Benjamin's arm, asked worriedly.
"Yes."
"The Ice Cenobites were scared away by Pinhead, they shouldn't come back in the next couple of days."
"But it will come back for me sooner or later, so I have to leave," Benjamin explained.
Kirsty asked, "Then how can I help you? I want to leave with you."
This girl knew there was great danger around him, yet she was still willing to escape with him. She truly dared to love and hate!
Benjamin was moved. He wanted to test if he could take Kirsty with him when he returned to the Lighthouse.
Upon completing all the story missions, there is a prompt that allows you to choose to return early. So, he lay on the bed just now, holding Kirsty's hand, and tried to click it.
[Choose to Return Early?]
Optional Items:
Common Items: Mattress (3 Survival Points), Pajamas (2 Survival Points), Blanket (2 Survival Points) ...
Benjamin selected "No," then tried placing his hand on the ground. The information changed.
[Choose to Return Early?]
Optional Items:
World: "Hellraiser " (100,000,000 Survival Points)
Common Items: Pajamas (2 Survival Points), 80*80 Wooden Flooring (1 Survival Point) ...
He discovered that returning could consume survival points to carry some items, which seemed to be arranged from top to bottom according to value, as long as they were physically accessible.
However, Kirsty was not among them.
This meant he couldn't leave with Kirsty.
Therefore, all Benjamin could do now was tell Kirsty about the subsequent matters concerning the cenobites.
But he dared not speak about the story plot, because he felt an impending calamity was about to occur whenever he tried to speak.
"Kirsty, you must remember what I'm about to say, because it's something that will guarantee our safety."
"First, there exists a Spell in this world called the Serunt Spell."
"It can steal the immortal power of Leviathan. The cenobites' power comes from Leviathan,
Therefore, the Spell can also take away the immortal body of cenobites. Within the range affected by it, mortal weapons can also harm cenobites."
"But they still possess extraordinary abilities, and the Spell only give us a means to fight back."
"So, Kirsty, even if you find this Spell and learn it, you must be careful."
Benjamin explained earnestly.
"Yes, the Serlunt Spell, I've remembered it."
Kirsty nodded firmly, her expression incredibly resolute, like a tenacious female warrior.
"Good, there's also a summoning circle that comes with it. When the Lemarchand's Box is activated, it can summon the cenobites to a specific location."
Benjamin continued, seeing that Kirsty had remembered.
"Yes, I've remembered everything. Are you leaving, Dean?"
Kirsty looked at Benjamin, who seemed to be making his last arrangements, and stared at him reluctantly, asking.
"I'm too weak now,"
Benjamin replied.
He had actually arranged for people to search the world for information about the Serlunt Spell during this time.
However, they hadn't found anything.
After all, the real world was too vast, and it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Even in the side stories of this world, it was only briefly mentioned that Kirsty had found these things to use against the cenobites.
Kirsty was a destined person and was very likely to find these things.
At that time, whether before she herself becomes the high priest or when Benjamin comes to this world again, there will be a certain degree of safety guarantee.
While searching for these things, Benjamin also used the code "SL Fat Brother v Martial Arts Overbearing" found in online communities.
He had people investigate the person who left this code.
According to the transmitted message, the sender's name is Domagoy Patrick. After selling his house, he entered the underground kingdom.
He has now joined the underground kingdom's organization and become the king's adopted son.
The so-called underground kingdom is nothing more than a nomadic organization of homeless people formed by a group of illegal immigrants and their descendants.
Upon seeing this news, Benjamin recalled a mention of the king of this underground organization in a comic book spin-off of the movie world.
This king of the nomadic organization was an elderly blind man who could indeed sense the evil of the Lemarchand's Box.
In the story, one of his sons found the Lemarchand's Box and gave it to him. As soon as he took the box in his hand, he felt the extremely terrifying evil inside it and threw the box into the sewer.
Unfortunately, the instant the box fell into the sewer, the cenobite emerged from it and tore everyone present to pieces.
With 10 days left until the end of the survival mission, Benjamin decided to try contacting the "Fat Brother" who had left the coded message at the beginning.
