Others say the devil is my cub [Rebirth]

"What brother?" Pai Ke was so frightened that he couldn't straighten his tongue, and his gray face was red and blue, so lively.

"Who, who is your brother!"

When did cats appear in the palace?

He doesn't know anything!

Pico felt his heart beating faster and faster, his head began to dizzy, and his breathing became more and more difficult. Just saying these two words almost exhausted all his strength.

Li Yu was stunned by Pi Ke's high-pitched voice, and the rat's squeak also attracted the attention of nearby guards.

"Ah!!!!!! There are mice!"

"My God, where is it? Kill me, kill me!"

"And there's a cat."

"We can beat them to death together. The palace is important. Where is the place where such pickles should stay?"

Picking up Pico in his mouth, Li Yu deftly escaped from under the gun point.

The guard let out a low cry in surprise, raised his hand and stabbed again, but the gleaming spear head was smashed by Li Yu's tail, leaving only a bare spear body.

"This cat is a bit weird, it is probably a demon, everyone be careful!"

Hearing the exclamation of the guards, Li Yu instantly understood that his tracking all the way was correct.

Going further inside is really the prison of the demon clan!

Seeing more and more guards gathering, seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yu immediately bit Paike and fled.

……

"Pike, stop shaking, what's the matter?" Li Yu was out of breath from running, and stretched out on the ground, gasping for breath.

Seeing Pai Ke's thin body curled up into a ball, Li Yu couldn't help slapping him with his paws, and said with a smile: "We all ran out here, what are you afraid of? You are too timid!"

"I'm a mouse, of course I'm timid!" Pico replied with tears in his eyes.

Li Yu: "Pfft, if you're timid, you're timid. You're pretty good at making excuses."

Pico retorted: "That's not an excuse, haven't you heard of being as timid as a mouse?"

Li Yu shook his head: "No, it's the first time I heard it."

"And I don't believe that all mice are timid. You must be making excuses with me. Hahahahaha, did you become angry when I exposed it just now?"

He was shaking with laughter, unaware that there was a hint of confusion in Pai Ke's eyes looking at him.

Pico's heart: Now cats need to play fools in order to be able to eat meat?

Li Yu: "By the way, Pico, does your Rat Clan have a cave under the palace? I want to borrow it."

Pico rebuffed firmly: "I can't take you there."

Li Yu: "Why?"

Pico: "Do you really think I'm stupid? Don't you just want to trick me into letting me take you into the cave and eat us?"

Li Yu: "Huh? Cats eat mice?"

Pico: "..." Is this cat sick?

"Oh, this is really a big misunderstanding!" Li Yu slapped his paw on the head, and explained suddenly: "I am not an ordinary cat, I am a monster, and I am a vegetarian. How can my white teeth be so white? What about eating meat?"

After finishing speaking, he bared his small white fangs in Pico's direction.

Seeing Pai Ke trembling even more frightened by his baring his teeth, Li Yu scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously.

"Oh, how can you trust me?"

"Why don't I spit one out for you, you should be able to believe what I spit out, right?"

After speaking, he really clutched his stomach and retched.

Pico, who was so frightened that he lost more than half of his three souls and seven apertures: "..."

Seeing Li Yu vomit hard over there, although Pai Ke was scared, he couldn't help but said: "Stop acting, and don't be so greedy to eat us up, I'll lie down and let you eat , don’t look for our cave entrance anymore.”

He lay down with his eyes closed, trembling, turned inside out and waited to die.

A finger was pressed on the soft belly, and a gentle and slightly sweet voice sounded in Pico's ears. The soft tone was like the willow branches that were blown by the breeze in early spring and fell to the water.

"I already said I won't eat you, what are you doing lying around like that?"

"Then I'll become a human. You should believe me this time, right?"

……

Walking through the tunnel with Li Yu who has turned into a villain, Pai Ke felt as if he was living in a dream.

Is it actually a cat demon?

He has never seen a monster before!

"Wow, Pico, you're really good at digging holes."

"Wow, Pico, you mice are really powerful. You actually thought of hiding food in such a place for easy storage."

"Wow, Pico..."

Annoyed by Li Yu's repeated compliments, Pai Ke retorted, "What's so great, it's just a mouse making a hole. I've never seen a cat like you."

"Great is great," Li Yu was inexplicably choked, and curled his lips: "Praise you and you are still impatient with me, what's wrong?"

Too lazy to talk to Paike again, Li Yu turned his head and ran to chat with other mice.

He has never seen a burrow made by a mouse in the human world, and he thought it would be good anywhere, so he decided to learn the method and teach it to the people of the monster clan when he went back.

As for the matter of rescuing the Yaozu, the turmoil just now has not subsided, and it is estimated that there is no way to sneak in for a moment, so it needs to be considered in the long run.

The mice had never seen a demon before, and they were too scared to approach it at first.It wasn't until Li Yu was smiling, showing no intention of hurting them at all, that they leaned forward one by one to make contact with him.

Driven by curiosity, Mouse A was the first to post and asked, "Li Yu, there are mice in the demon world, what do they look like?"

Li Yu smiled and explained: "Yes, they are much bigger than you, and their fangs are very long."

Mouse B: "Li Yu, are all the demons in the demon world vegetarian?"

Li Yu: "Yes, everyone eats fruits. Fruits are divided into two types: vegetarian fruits and fleshy fruits. Large monsters eat fleshy fruits, while small monsters eat vegetarian fruits."

……

Looking at the smiling Li Yu surrounded by mice, Pai Ke stood aside and laughed at himself in a low voice: "I just said, why would anyone praise the mice for being so powerful? It turns out that they don't understand what the mice in the human world are. What's the meaning."

***

The guards in the palace became more and more strict because of what happened that night, with five steps for a small post and ten steps for a large post, which made it difficult for Li Yu to go out to investigate the news.

The imperial palace is too big and there are many restrictions. With his own strength, he has no way to find out the monster clan in a short time and make an escape route, which makes Li Yu feel anxious for a while.

At the same time, it became more and more difficult for Pico and the others to find food.

……

Squeak squeak!

Accompanied by the noise of footsteps and the scream of fleeing, Pico ran around like flying around with a bunch of grapes in his mouth.

The gleaming silver blade slammed down on his side, and the hair on his body was shaved bald and dimpled by the blade.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat in front of him, he let out a hoarse squeak, turned his head and ran back, trying to win a way out from countless boots and knives.

The grapes in his mouth were forced to spit out and thrown on the ground, where they were trampled into mud by the rushing big feet, making them into a ball on the ground.

It foreshadows the upcoming fate of Pico.

"Quick! Hack to death, hack to death!"

"Going to your side, watch it!"

"Damn, it's fucking disgusting, what a dark thing!"

Swords, guns and halberds pierced towards the black body that was desperately fleeing. Feeling the sting from the back, Pai Keti burst into tears, and could not help but let out a more tragic wail.

squeak! ! ! ! !

A white shadow shot out obliquely like lightning.

Grabbing the back of Pai Ke's neck in one bite, Li Yu ran wildly without looking back, his lightning-fast speed completely knocked off the chasing guards in an instant.

"Ann, it's safe." Throwing Pico to the ground, Li Yu panted heavily from exhaustion, stretched his paws to his back and rubbed them blindly.

Pai Ke was too close to the weapon at that time, and Li Yu was stabbed several times in the back in order to save him, and the bloody look felt that the injury was not serious.

"You," Pico asked with chattering teeth before he recovered from the fear of death, "Why are you there, why did you save me?"

Li Yu: "I happened to be investigating the route in the palace at that time, and when I heard your cry, I came out and saw that you were in danger. Then I saved you. What else could be the reason?"

Hearing Li Yu's explanation, Pai Kefei didn't feel a sigh of relief, but his round eyes the size of soybeans were filled with tears constantly overflowing from panic.

The corner of his mouth bared upwards, his limbs trembled, and he yelled in a high-pitched voice: "Li Yu, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

"Aren't you our natural enemy? Shouldn't you torture me, humiliate me, and eat me after I'm dying? But why do you want to save me!"

"Is it because you are a demon, so you don't understand what a mouse in the human world means?"

"Okay, then I will tell you clearly. The rat means that you don't need to discuss with us at all, and you can directly occupy our tunnel."

"You can fill it with water, burn poisonous smoke, and set it on fire. Everyone else is doing it anyway. You can be like them. You don't need to pretend to be a good cat here!"

"Pike, what are you talking about?"

Seeing Pai Ke almost collapsed in front of him, Li Yu raised his steps in confusion and slowly tried to approach, but he had to stop when he saw Pai Ke resisted so much that his hair stood on end.

Li Yu: "Now I want to use the tunnel to investigate the situation in the palace. I have a request from you. Why would I do such a thing?"

"But, but we steal things, we are sick, and..." Pico couldn't continue, the tip of his tail stood upright, the tip of his nose was wrinkled and his sharp front teeth were exposed, and some scarlet was faintly glowing in his eyes.

"Anyway, you must have malicious intentions. I don't believe that you really want to save me. Don't lie to me again!"

"Eh..." Li Yu tilted his head and looked at Pi Ke.

"But if you don't steal it, you won't be able to live at all. Isn't this something you can't help?"

Pico screamed, "But other races don't need to steal to survive!"

"For example, the birds in the sky, the fish swimming in the water, and so many animals living in the world outside the palace wall."

"Only us rats survive by stealing from humans, so we are the only ones who need to hide, and we are the only ones who yell and beat everyone!"

Li Yu: "Pike, I don't think you need to compare yourself with other races."

"Everyone faces different environments and difficulties. You are now living in the palace and can only rely on human food for your livelihood. In my opinion, there is nothing to blame."

"I don't know what other animals or people think of you, and I'm not interested in knowing. I just know that I like you very much and regard you as my friends."

A pair of round mandarin duck eyes were inlaid on Li Yu's narrow, pointed face, one blue and one yellow, shining brightly like wet gemstones.

Like the stars in the sky, it is clean and bright.

It was the pure gaze without any disgust or disgust that Pico had never seen before.

Bathed in such soft and bright warmth, Pico felt as if he had choked on a hard nut core in his throat, which made him feel uncomfortable, and the snot and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

……

Pico: Mother, why do we have to live underground all the time?

Because we are mice.

Pico: Mother, why do humans chase and beat me every time?

Because we are mice.

Pico: Mother, why do we have to put up with this just because we're mice?

Because... we are mice.

……

Stretching out his claws to cover his face tightly, Pai Ke twitched into a ball on the ground, and asked uncontrollably, "Li Yu, do you really want to be my friend?"

Nodding his head, Li Yu replied seriously: "Well, it's true."

***

on the platform

Pico stood up front and spoke excitedly.

"Brothers, Li Yu thinks highly of me, Pi Ke. He doesn't treat me like a mouse, but as a friend."

"Just go for this, I don't have to take this life of Pai Ke!"

"Li Yu is in trouble now. He wants to rescue the trapped monster clan, but with the power of a single monster, he can't find out the situation of the entire palace."

"So, I'm here to ask, is there anyone willing to help him with me?"

There was silence below, and no mouse answered.

Human beings have slaughtered them for so many years, so that they don't have any courage to dare to fight against it.

I don't know how long it was silent, for a long time, a thin voice said weakly: "I am willing."

The skinny little mouse poked its head out from the group of rats: "Li Yu praised me for my beautiful fur color, and he never disliked me for being dirty. I want to help him save the monster race."

Mouse B: "Then... I am also willing. Li Yu told me that meeting is fate. I have never had friends of other races. I am willing to do my part for friends."

The two active voices drove the deadly atmosphere in the cave, like a ignited star beacon, igniting the entire group of rats.

Mouse C: "I do."

Mouse D: "I do."

……

Thousands of rats shouted in unison, and there was a continuous wave of "I would like" in the dark tunnel.

Looking at the mice in the audience, Pai Ke's eyes were wet, and he screamed: "Okay, then let us help Li Yu rescue the trapped monsters!"
