Chapter 116: An ordinary mouse

Xisu pretended to be calm - maybe this was also a kind of lie. But he had to do this to avoid thinking about his current situation:

Committing a lot of crimes and waiting to be dealt with, committing a lot of crimes and then just escaping from being dealt with, acting on his own, not following orders within the prescribed time, creating trouble - instability - there is a slight possibility (he has not yet Willing to think carefully about the possibility) he himself was that unstable factor, as an angel, left alone with the devil - in a terrible place of desecration, with no intention of taking any measures to improve it.

Um. He has no plans to take any measures yet...

"Why don't you run away?"

The devil sat down again and played with the mouse in his palm - mouse? Xi Shu turned around and looked at the corner of the stone shelf. The body of the dead rat was gone. He was stunned for a moment, then turned his gaze to the new mouse in the devil's hand, trying to find out if they were the same one - he couldn't tell, the mice looked too ordinary, and there were always 999 out of a thousand like this.

"I don't know where I ran to." Xishu told the truth. "I think it's better to stay with you."

The demon blinked and laughed.

"It will come soon." He started to play with the mouse again. "He'll do some tests and maybe take me to see what's going on with them."

"ah."

What will happen? Who is Stretching · Lining? Most importantly, how can he get out of the situation he's in? The mouse made a little noise. The two pieced-together structural creatures stared at it with empty eyes, wondering which one was more like the furnishings in this room. Xishu hesitated and found the demon staring at him: "Do you have a problem?"

"Many questions." Xi Shu said. "But I'm not sure you'll have the answer for me."

"Then you should ask too." The devil said calmly. "For example - why did I leave you alone?

How do you get out of here?

When will the next crisis come?

What should we do in the face of crisis?

And the most important thing - should I be good to you or bad to you? "

"……Um……"

"The answer is -"

The devil continued. "--We need your help.

You can try to escape from the rift when I activate the formula of order - just like the serious plan you just told me. Or you can leave the underworld with me.

The next crisis was naturally the upcoming intestinal lining examination - which was in line with the predictions of my two excellent employees about the time of my death. It can be seen that this is a quite big crisis.

So back to the first point. That's why we need your help.

And the answer to the last question: 'bad' of course.

Do you expect to get any good results from staying with a demon duke? "

The devil smiled and said this while looking at the young angel's expression. "But you know. In our dictionary, 'bad' means 'good'."

Xishu tried to grasp the key points in a large amount of information and make analysis. He failed to catch it.

"Bad is good, good is bad?" He barely caught the last sentence he could understand and said, "Is this just a word game?"

"That's right. And this is also one of the devil's habits."

The demon yawned, as if he thought enough had been explained on this topic.

Xishu didn't know what to do. Nod. But he should definitely do something.

"You said help 'us'." He pointed at the two demon employees with the same decoration. "That means you and them, right?"

The demon looked at him.

"I noticed that you stopped using honorifics towards me." The owner with light blue flame eyes said. "This is a good sign."

"That means it's not good. I understand." Xi Shu said, continuing to ask. "Does 'we' mean you?"

The devil laughed.

"Yeah." he said.

"Oh." Xishu responded. He vaguely felt something was wrong. But it’s really hard to say what’s right in this moment. He looked around - this action brought him no actual help at all, and the dazzling array of strange objects made him feel dizzy.

"So." He said. "The crisis is coming soon, what should I do?"

"Nothing to do."

"...Huh? No. No way." Xi Shu said. "Absolutely not."

"Absolutely not?"

"I must do something." Xishu said. "I just didn't do anything-"

Only then did we end up in this situation.

Wait, he didn't do anything? In the action just now, he almost forcibly captured the attention of the Demon Duke. He hid the information about Norole given by Imetz from Lamel. Did anyone force him to do this? He told so many lies - didn't he mean...

The demon raised the mouse on his hand towards Xishu.

"When the time comes, you will attach yourself to this mouse." The owner with light blue flame eyes said. "I'll let you follow me. You don't have to make any commitments - you don't have to decide now what you want to do or not want to do. We'll play it by ear."

Xishu thought hard, to no avail.

"...Hmm...Okay." He responded. Look at the mouse. "...Won't I be discovered?" He agreed but hesitated, which is a crime. "Or...what's so special about this mouse? Will the undead find it?"

"There's nothing special about it. As you can see." said the devil. "But I can guarantee they won't find you. Unless you want to be found yourself."

"That's good."

The Demon Duke's assurance sounds quite convincing. Xishu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to be discovered, not at all.

"good."

He relaxed and looked around again. The arrangement of the quadrangular room is less unsightly. He even found a few things that interested him.

He walked over to the trellis where the items were placed.

"Right. Although we are adapting to circumstances - but I also want to know, what crisis will happen soon?"

Xishu asked while curiously browsing the strange things.

He asked casually this time, not expecting the devil to answer.

But the Demon Duke immediately responded.

"The angel of death," said the devil. "They are creating all kinds of undead in preparation for assassinating tyrants and spreading undead. What they are focusing on creating are undead angels."

"Huh? Uh..." This is really unheard of. Xisu thought. It almost made him want to report it immediately - of course he abandoned the idea immediately. Um. There were many things he had never heard of. "Why is the focus on the Angel of the Dead? Are the Necrons going to attack us? What's so special about us...?"

"No. They are attacking us." Yi Cha said. "In their eyes, there is nothing special about any race. There is only one reason why they chose angels as carriers. Because they want to target us."

"Aiming at...the devil." Xishu responded subconsciously. Um. Although he had not thought of it before, he was not surprised. As if it were a given. "Ah," he said. I feel like my mind becomes smoother. "Because the Demon Lord has spread the power of Chaos throughout the universe! They must get rid of the Demons and the remnants of Chaos before they can expand!"

"That's right." Yi Cha said. "In other words." He smiled evilly. "The Demon Lord destroyed the world first, but instead protected it."
