Demon King – Chapter 876 – Bug Exploiting Tool Person

“So why exactly did I follow you here again…”

Second time’s the charm. Her mouth kept saying absolutely not, but the hero girl was still coaxed over by this ghost toddler in the end. That warm heart of a hero really just could not be fixed.

It was the same familiar underworld atmosphere. And because it was nighttime, the surroundings looked even more sinister than before.

If the big boss of this hellish place were not floating right beside her, and if she were not actually less scary when she was not acting fierce, Xixia felt that she did not have the rationality of that Demon Lord. She would have already started smashing through walls and running for her life.

As she walked down the corridor checking things here and there, one had to say, worthy of being the administrator of this place. Either Shang had completely grasped the patterns of this world, or she could directly control the so-called random scenarios.

At the very least, after being here for quite a while, Xixia had not encountered the situation from last time when she was with those two sisters, where the first floor suddenly became the third floor and turned them into headless flies running in circles.

Occasionally they ran into a few skeleton ghosts along the way, but the moment those things saw the two of them, they scattered in panic and fled at high speed without even looking back. The cause of that scene was naturally the silver haired little figure floating in midair, who was still explaining things to the tool person she had dragged back.

“There were people like you before. Not evil, just accidentally wandered into my place. But they all found me, so I sent them out smoothly.”

The reason she managed to convince Xixia to accompany her back was actually because this so-called Grim Reaper had no way to freely enter and exit her own territory.

“Even though I’m the administrator, I can only go outside when I’m sending someone who wandered in by mistake out… So when I finally saw someone run in again after who knows how long, I was so happy!”

Understandable. Xixia silently complained in her heart. You could probably tell from that ancient camera of hers. This kid had not gone out to wander for at least decades.

“And when I go out, I can’t just come back whenever I want. I have to bring someone with me to return. So the Grim Reaper has to lure an evil person back from outside.”

“So I count as evil?” The hero girl suddenly felt offended. Being a good person suddenly felt awkward.

“Of course not. Only people with filthy souls, or those near someone with a filthy soul, can enter this place. But someone I personally bring back isn’t restricted by that.”

‘So you’re exploiting a bug, aren’t you? Normally you can’t come and go freely, so you find a tool person to accompany you, treat it like the task is completed, and then you get a full round trip in and out, right?’

“I’ve been outside for too short a time. I don’t want to come back so quickly… With Little Xixia accompanying me, once we finish checking, we can go back out and play again!”

‘No thanks. You should just stay here. My house really can’t survive you tearing it apart for real…’

She grumbled internally. But with the hero girl’s personality, it was unlikely she could truly bear to leave such a little thing alone here.

Even though this so-called little thing was probably older than both her parents combined. But because her mentality was still that of a child, Xixia would occasionally treat her like a mischievous little sister.

“By the way, what’s up with the electronic password lock on your principal’s office door?”

The old wooden door paired with a high tech electronic lock suddenly came back to her mind. That strange aesthetic had left a deep impression on her. Out of curiosity, she asked about the origin of the lock.

That thing did not look like something from decades ago. How did Shang, who had not gone out for decades, get something so high tech?

“That? Because of the operating rules here, my room door has to use a lock with a password.”

At first, Shang even used a wooden mortise structure with a password mechanism. Not only did it fail to serve its purpose, it was smashed apart by a violent offender. After more tinkering, she switched to a rotating combination lock like those on safes.

“The last evil person who came in happened to work with locks. He used his position to embezzle money and rack up blood debts, and he fled into my place.”

Then that evil man was magnificently turned into a skeleton ghost by Shang. And since he happened to bring an electronic lock with him when he entered, she found it novel and directly ordered her little ghosts to replace the door lock with it.

“The little cuties I make all retain their life skills. Sometimes I need those skills.”

For example, ghosts with cooking skills would occasionally be made to prepare dishes when Shang got greedy. Ghosts with carpentry skills would help repair furniture and cabinets. In short, with all kinds of ghosts around, even though Shang was bored here, her life was not exactly bad.

“I feel like you’re more of a Demon Lord than the Demon Lord outside…”

The hero girl delivered a soul piercing complaint. Compared to that lone commander Demon Lord outside, the little one beside her felt much more like a true overlord of ghosts.

“Big Cutie, good evening. Did you guard the house properly today?”

As they walked, they once again reached the floor where the Great Wraith resided. Seeing the massive figure, Shang waved and greeted it.

The unfortunate hero girl, meanwhile, kept her head lowered and followed behind the little one trembling, not daring to look at that face that could directly scare her unconscious.

But if she had lifted her head at that moment and observed the Great Wraith, she would have seen a very surprising scene.

The ferocious face of the Great Wraith was filled with fear. Looking at the ghost toddler floating in midair, it kept curling up and retreating, as if afraid she would suddenly pounce over and tear it apart with her bare hands.

You’re scarier than a ghost. If Xixia could see that scene, she would probably have made that complaint. A Great Wraith whose body filled an entire floor shrinking away from a one point two meter tall little thing was indeed somewhat comical.

“Everything that needed checking is pretty much done. No one wandered in today… Oh right, Little Xixia, do you want to see my true body? I need to check it today anyway. That’s actually the main reason I came back.”

“Fine. Whatever.”

—————

At the same time, in Her Majesty the Demon Lord’s house, the silver haired loli sleeping on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and sprang upright like a carp, startling Yuki awake as well.

“Lu Brat? What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”

Usually, with him accompanying her, Eiru’s sleep quality was unbelievably good. Yuki had never seen her suddenly wake up like this before.

“No… I just suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable.”

The little Demon Lord herself did not understand what was going on. She just had a strange feeling, like her body was itching somewhere but she could not find where to scratch.

“If you’re fine then just go back to sleep. By the way, Lu Brat, can you turn off the light? It’s a bit dazzling.”

“Light?”

Her Majesty the Demon Lord turned her head in confusion, only to discover that one of the spikes on her wing behind her was emitting a strange blue glow.

“What the hell? I didn’t activate any magic! Why can’t I turn it off?!”
