The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

When Du Ruoying woke up again, she found herself lying in a strange room.

Through the translucent purple-black bed curtain, you can see all the mahogany furniture in the house. The candlelight casts a layer of warm orange red on them, making the original deep color exude a strange and bright atmosphere.

This is an ancient Gothic room, with a row of tall and narrow double-circle arched windows embedded in the complexly decorated outer wall. The stars outside the windows are sparse and the night is thick.

Du Ruoying sat up from the bed and found that she was wearing a purple-black nightdress, which made her realize a terrible problem - someone changed her clothes for her.

Is it...

"Are you awake?"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a strange little girl came in. Although she had a human appearance, she had a pair of fluffy little pointed ears on her head.

Obviously, she is a little fox demon.

Different from her harmless and cute appearance, her actual level was much higher than that of the anaconda, so she was not someone Du Ruoying could confront head-on.

"Don't worry, I changed your clothes for you," the little fox demon smiled mischievously, "How is it, are you used to it?"

"Um……"

"Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself—my name is Xiao Ya, and I was sent by His Highness the Demon King to take care of you."

"Are you alone, Xiaoya?"

"Yes, I'm the only one." The little fox flicked its tail happily, "Don't worry, Xiao Ya is very strong, and can do anything for you—of course, if you really want to increase the number of demon servants, I will I can also report to the Demon King for you, I believe he will be willing to send you more people."

"No, no, I'm not worried about this." Du Ruoying quickly waved her hand.

In fact, she just wanted to estimate how many monsters she was going to deal with. The fewer people guarding her, the happier she would be.

"The devil...where is he now?" Du Ruoying tentatively asked the question that she was most concerned about.She knew it was rash to ask such a question, but this little fox demon had a very gentle attitude and didn't treat her like a captive or a prisoner. Maybe this point could be put to good use.

"Your Highness, he should be eating now, do you want to see him?" Sure enough, the little fox demon answered very frankly.

See what see?

This is an excellent opportunity to run away, hahaha!

"Don't bother him yet." Du Ruoying tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth, "Speaking of food, I seem to be a little hungry too. Can you prepare something for me?"

"Hey, now?" The little fox demon sucked his fingers curiously, "It's strange, why do I remember that you humans don't eat at this time?"

"At this moment...there are also some at this moment, and it is called supper at this moment!" Du Ruoying had an idea.

"Oh, supper? It seems that I have heard of it," the little fox demon nodded, "Then what do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat egg roll meatball soup," Du Ruoying casually said the name of a dish that was very time-consuming to make. In order to prevent the other party from cheating with magic, she added, "The kind that should be cooked according to human cooking methods." .”

"Egg roll and meatball soup." The little fox demon thought distressedly, "Eggs can be stolen from the magic dragon, and meat is easy to talk about. You can pick up very fresh ones from the execution ground, but human cooking method……"

Hearing this, Du Ruoying's hairs stood on end. She was secretly glad that she didn't need real food, and forced a friendly smile on her face, "The cooking method is easy to say, I can teach you."

After listening to Du Ruoying's description, the little fox demon nodded confidently: "Don't worry, Xiaoya will definitely make a delicious egg roll meatball soup, wait for Xiaoya, don't sneak away!"

"Hmm." Du Ruoying sat on the side of the bed obediently, watching the other party go out, until the sound of footsteps in the corridor disappeared completely, then she carefully escaped through the window.

As everyone knows, the little fox demon in the kitchen has seen all this with the help of magic.She put down the chopsticks for beating eggs, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and sighed softly, "Sure enough, it is exactly as His Highness expected."

The layout of the Demon King's palace was much more complicated than Du Ruoying imagined. After traveling around a few times, she soon lost her way, so she had to follow her intuition to go to a relatively empty land, and she came to a strange land without knowing it. garden.

The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, all kinds of plants surround a zigzag path that keeps forking, golden yellow rhododendrons, purple blue hyacinths, dove-white lilies of the valley, blood-red poppies... obviously have different The flowering period, but can bloom together here.

Here, time seems to lose its binding force.

Du Ruoying's eyes crossed the layers of flower walls, and saw the round dome hexagonal pavilion in the center of the garden, and William sitting in the pavilion——

No, not right!

That couldn't be William, William didn't have the leisure to drink red wine alone in the Demon King's territory, the guy in black robe was undoubtedly the Demon King who was having a meal!

The great fear forced her to instinctively take a half step back, and half a second later, her brain finally came to her senses—it is the best policy to slip away quietly before the devil finds herself!

Du Ruoying took the first step to escape gloriously, and then stepped on a broken branch with the first step, making a crisp "click", as clean as beheading.

Thinking of this, Du Ruoying couldn't help but tighten her neck.

"Did you come here after taking a walk?" The devil's voice suddenly sounded from behind, "I heard that you are also hungry, just in time, let's have dinner together."

She turned her head tremblingly, and saw that William's face was quietly watching her, and there was a dangerous emotion in the depths of her crimson pupils.

Du Ruoying was silent, deep in thought, sinking into the maze of thinking and wishing she had to come out again...

However, it was useless to escape, she knew very well that there was nothing she could do except pretend to obey.

The Demon King led her to the Liujiao Pavilion and poured her a glass of red wine.

She summoned up her courage and decided to speak out the doubts that had been buried in her heart for a long time, "Why are you so polite to me, a prisoner? This is not like your style."

"Our style?" The devil smiled and took a sip of the red wine. "What do you think our style should look like? Like this?" He waved his hand aside as he spoke, and the ground shook violently, shaking the wall of flowers. The flowers and leaves on the surface shook off one after another, revealing many human bodies inside the wall.The thorny flower vines wrapped around them tightly, sucking their blood and energy, and the tiny dodders burrowed into their brains along their ear canals, playing with them as much as they wanted.

According to the torn clothes of those people, Du Ruoying recognized their identities. They were all brave men.However, their expressions at the moment make them unworthy to be called brave at all—without exception, their faces are full of overjoyed, self-sacrificing, and extremely intoxicated expressions.

This made Du Ruoying feel extremely shocked: "What... did you do to them?"

The Demon King didn't answer her directly, but asked in a very relaxed tone, "Do you want to save them?"

Du Ruoying knew that it was meaningless to lie on this kind of issue, so she simply nodded: "I think."

"Then go." The Demon King threw a dagger at her feet,

"This dagger is forged from my ribs. It is the strongest weapon in the entire Black Region. It can cut through anything, including magic vines."

She picked up the dagger suspiciously.

"Even if I am stabbed by it, I will not be safe." The devil added with a smile.

What's the meaning……

Du Ruoying paused cautiously.

Is this... a deliberate test of his killing intent?

She shook her head slightly, put aside the absurd assassination thoughts for a while, and went to the flower wall, untied the flower vines for all the brave men.

As expected, things were not as simple as they seemed. Not only did the rescued brave men have no intention of fleeing, but they gathered towards the devil one after another, kneeling and begging the devil not to abandon themselves.

Du Ruoying knew that their brains had been transformed by those plant-shaped monsters, and they had long since lost the thing called "self", so they were willing to fall into the energy battery of the devil king.

In this regard, she was not disappointed, but she just shrugged at the Demon King from a distance: "It seems that I don't need to continue wasting my efforts in vain."

"It's not a waste of effort." The devil approached her with a smile. "I want to let you know about the craft of brewing wine, which may make you more interested in drinking. This wine is brewed with the blood and energy of brave men." , after drinking it, you can quickly upgrade your level."

As if to verify what he said was true, the devil drank the glass of red wine in his hand, and the word levelup flashed above his head, and his level had risen to 100000.

Du Ruoying rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "One million... wait, no, I must have counted wrong... ten million one hundred thousand... one, ten, one hundred..."

"Don't count, it has indeed multiplied ten times." The devil gently stopped her urge to count with her fingers, "Don't you want to beat me? This is the fastest way to level up." He handed her the glass of red wine again back to her

"Are you kidding me? How can I accept this upgrade method!" Du Ruoying resisted the urge to feel sick and pushed the wine away.

"Why can't it be accepted? As you can see, the whole brewing process is very sophisticated, and no one was killed. You can find all the brave men who have successfully broken into the Black Domain in this group of people - none of them died. And You saw that, too, and they were happy to be part of it..."

"Do you persuade every newly captured brave man like this?"

"what?"

"I said," Du Ruoying raised her face in displeasure, and looked directly at him, "do you persuade every newly captured brave man like this?"

"No, I only treat you alone..."

"Only for me? It's funny, like I'm so special." Du Ruoying mocked coldly.

"You are quite special," the Demon King also sneered, "To tell the truth, when I fought against other brave men, I was more or less damaged in battle. In the worst case, the entire Black Territory was destroyed and turned into ruins. , I was also deprived of a rib—the one you have now. Only you, when I took you captive, I can say that I didn’t spend a single soldier. Isn’t this considered ‘special’?”

"you!"

"Don't worry, you will soon become one of them, but you are still very special, because you alone can't contribute much energy." The devil smiled warmly, "I lied to you, in fact, I hope you can stay voluntarily." .”

Du Ruoying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Why are you staying here? Heiyu has begun to show mercy and adopt idlers?"

"That's not the case. I hope you can be my follower."

"...Family?!!"

"Stay here, and you will receive preferential treatment forever. Not only do you have no worries about food and clothing, you can even get what you want. I know that you work for the goddesses, but believe me, they are not worthy of your persistence at all——as the leader of the entire Bright Continent The strongest existence, but they only dare to hide behind the scenes, shirk the tasks that should be performed by themselves to weak ordinary people, knowing that this will kill you, but still cruelly use you as consumables. On them, I I can’t see their respect for the individual will of human beings. Regarding this point, I think you should feel the same—is the reason why you decided to embark on the journey to conquer me really out of your own will?”

No, no, because of the curse, because of necessity.

Du Ruoying heard this answer in her heart.

"In this case, why can't we abandon those heavy moral shackles and choose to live a better life?"

"But when it comes to personal will," Du Ruoying frowned, "Take away the sanity of the brave and raise them like domestic animals. You are the one who really trampled on your free will, right?"

She already had instinctive vigilance against the demonic and moving words spoken by this angelic face.

"The weak want to protect their own will, this is an unrealistic extravagant hope," the devil sighed helplessly, "They rushed to me with a sword in hand, and it is my greatest mercy not to kill them. What's more, they It was a voluntary deal — they gave me a constant flow of energy, and I gave them endless dreams."

"Voluntary transactions... how is it possible? Don't try to lie to me!"

"It's really voluntary," the demon king said with an innocent face, "it's not as difficult as you think. For example, look at the brave man. I only asked him one question. He chose to let his sister cut off one of his hands." Arm, or choose to let the dodder transform his brain, he 'voluntarily' chose the latter, see, isn't it very simple?"

Du Ruoying looked in the direction he pointed, and suddenly saw Du Ruoxian deeply embedded in the mosaic wall.

"Speaking of which, I learned this game called 'Voluntary' from you anthropologists. It's really more interesting than the devil's game. I completely enjoy it..." The devil continued, Du Ruoying But she couldn't listen to a word, her attention was completely focused on Du Ruoxian's tragic situation, her brain went blank, and there was only a buzzing in her ears.

She clenched the dagger in her hand, recalling what the Demon King said earlier: "Even if I am stabbed by this dagger, I will not be safe."

Seeing that she was in a daze, the Demon King knew that everything was going perfectly according to his plan, so he reached out and touched her head as a sign of encouragement, "What a good girl, just be honest."

Then, he manipulated a dodder and brought it close to her ear.

The moment the dodder was about to stick into the ear, a severed limb of the anaconda smashed towards the two of them.The Demon King was forced to interrupt the manipulation, blocking the severed limb in mid-air.He noticed that the severed limbs of the anaconda were covered with traces of iron burns, as if they had been tortured very skillfully.

Before he could finish thinking, another figure suddenly rushed out from the opposite direction, and took Du Ruoying away from the Demon King.A gust of wind blew off the hood of the black cloak, revealing the true face of the Demon King—exactly the same face as the person who took Du Ruoying away.

For a moment, the two looked at each other, each with their own face reflected in their crimson eyes.Although they all belonged to the type that seldom had any surprise emotions, at such a moment, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment at the same time.

Surprised, William quickly understood the situation in front of him: why the anaconda mistakenly called himself the "leader", why Xiaoying was quietly deceived by the devil...

Everything has already been answered.

Originally, he had hoped with the last ray of hope that the Demon King would be someone like Dean Fang, but how could he have never imagined that in Xiaoying's subconscious, the Demon King and himself were completely equivalent.

On the other side, the Demon King immediately reacted: "I see, you belong to me..." Inexplicable anger suddenly rushed to the top of his head, and he didn't even have the patience to finish his words, so he drew his long sword and slashed at William.

William crossed the long sword, blocked the opponent's attack, and then retreated abruptly, trying to relieve the opponent's strength, making the opponent lose his balance and reveal his flaws.But the other party seemed to have a telepathy with him, and chose to withdraw at the same time, perfectly avoiding the trap of his next move.

"Have you ever heard such a saying - if a person meets another self, he will die?" The devil sneered.

"Hey, I heard it, from Asimov's "The End of Eternity", an interesting space-time paradox, isn't it?" William sneered back, "I met you today, so unfortunately, you will die. "

"Why aren't you going to die?" The Demon King attacked again.

"Because you are weaker." William replied, "Isn't it a logical thing for the weak side to be killed by the strong side?"
