"why?"

Chi Yu asked.

"Because His power is very terrifying." Adele said seriously, "Making a deal with the devil... will not end well."

"No, that's not what I meant." Chi Yu said expressionlessly.

People call him "devil", so he is definitely not a good person.

I still see this very clearly.

If not, I wouldn’t have to go around in a big circle, activating the [Necklace of the Moon Goddess], and reaching an agreement with the hero Arin Reinhardt, just to find a way to kill Quilt Belial... …Isn’t it a good idea to directly agree to the Demon Lord and make a deal with him?

Chi Yu said: "What I want to ask is, why do you think I made a deal with the devil?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Adele replied, "You used to be just an ordinary person, but now... you can not only escape from the dungeon, but you can also switch our identities at any time, and even... have the confidence to kill Drop Quilt Belial."

"Of course, the more direct reason is... I feel a breath from your body."

"That kind of aura is unique to demons."

"That's why I concluded that just recently...or, just today, you had an encounter with a high-ranking demon."

Chi Yu was stunned for a moment: "Today?"

"That's right. The breath is very strong. If the interval is too long, it won't give me such a clear feeling."

Chi Yu pondered for a few seconds: "...Is it because of Quilter Belial?"

"No."

Adele shook her head decisively, "Although he was favored by the devil for some unknown reasons... but essentially, he is still an ordinary person."

In other words, contact with him will not leave a demonic aura on Chi Yu.

Seeing that Chi Yuzhong was lost in thought again, Adele said worriedly: "Anyway, you must be careful... I can't help you with anything, but I have a hunch."

She raised a smile and said in a very determined tone, "No matter what plan you have... it will definitely succeed!"

Chi Yu temporarily put aside all the speculations in his mind and said half-jokingly: "Is this the prophecy of the temple priest?"

"Do not."

Adele smiled brightly, "This is a blessing from the temple priest!"

……

Adele left.

Seeing her back gradually disappearing from sight, Chi Yu, who conveniently added an "invisibility" buff to her, was completely relieved.

It's not that I think Adele Chris will never betray... It doesn't matter even if she turns around and tells Quilt Belial about her collusion with the devil after she goes out.

No matter what, it was impossible for Beryl to kill her now.

that's enough.

However, what Adele said before leaving made Chi Yu a little concerned.

"I met a high-ranking demon today..." Chi Yu frowned and began to recall.

If you don't count the guards and maids who can be regarded as general NPCs, she hasn't seen many people in the past twenty-four hours.

The two players Flair, Belial, Adele, Orangutan Baboon, and Yalin Reinhardt, who doesn't know whether he's a human or not...that's it.

None of these people look like the so-called "high-ranking devils".

"Is Adele's feeling wrong? Or..."

Chi Yu frowned, "What... important information did I ignore?"

Anyway, it was still early before dawn, so Chi Yu simply began to analyze the possibility of these people becoming "high-ranking demons" one by one.

Two players are eliminated first.

No matter how good the devil is at deceiving people, he will not be able to corrupt players who are protected by the system.

Adele...it's not very likely either.

If she was a high-ranking demon, there was absolutely no need to tell Chi Yu this information.

If Adele is okay, Belial who has been certified by her will most likely have nothing to do with the "high-ranking devil".

So, that leaves only Flair and Aryn Reinhardt.

One is a "god messenger".

One is the favored one of the gods.

They are all the confidants under the nose of "Rules"... There is no reason and it is almost impossible to rebel, right?

Chi Yu felt as if he had run into a dead end.

"If you can't figure it out in the forward direction, why not try to deduce the cause from the results..."

Chi Yu thought in his mind, "The high-ranking demon who came into contact with me should want to achieve some purpose through me, or complete a certain transaction like Adele said."

Technically, she had deals with both Flair and Reinhardt.

Moreover, the contents of the transaction are all aimed at the "devil".

Fryer was originally proposed by Chi Yu - if her goal was to kill Quilter Belial, then there was a basis for cooperation between them.

As for Yalin Reinhardt... She suffered a serious loss of strength due to sleeping for too long, so she was given the [Ritual Golden Dagger], which provided her with a means to eliminate Belial.

……and many more.

Chi Yu made a fist with his right hand and put it on his chin.

If she remembered correctly, during the conversation with her, Yalin Reinhardt did not mention a single word of his thoughts and purposes.

Just because Chi Yu said that Quilt Belial was the culprit of everything, he sent the [Ritual Golden Dagger] over...

From the beginning to the end, the only thing he asked Chi Yu to do was..."Pierce the dagger into his chest".

This is almost equivalent to "sacrifice". In addition to allowing me to gain enough strength to compete with the devil's favor... what other consequences will it bring?

Chi Yu doesn't know.

But she knew better.

That "hero"...probably has a problem!

"According to Freir and I's previous speculations, in the battle between the Rules and the Nightmare Lord, the Rules ended up at a disadvantage, so they 'summoned' the players to come and grant them the identities of the Envoys of Freir. .”

Chi Yu's mind raced, "If this is true...why doesn't the rule directly awaken his beloved?"

"Is it because you don't want to?"

"Arlin Reinhardt said that he has been invaded and contaminated by the devil's will over the years...maybe it's not a lie!"

And Shatta mentioned it a long time ago... what demons are best at is contamination and bewitchment!

They have unimaginable control over their followers!

Yalin Reinhardt...is he still the "hero" who believed in the rules before?

He handed over the [Ritual Golden Dagger] to me... What is the purpose?

Chi Yu held the golden dagger in his hand.

System notes appeared in front of me.

【After midnight comes dawn. 】

[The dark night will eventually be dispelled by the glimmer of dawn. 】

I don't know why, but these two sentences, which are obviously "roots are upright and seedlings are red", seem to Chi Yu... to be inexplicably ironic.

It was as if someone was leaning next to her ear, laughing sarcastically.
