I'm a villain, not a devil

Throte fell to his knees, begging the mysterious shadow.

"As long as I can save my daughter, I am willing to do anything for you and give everything I have, including my soul!"

And under the black shadow is naturally Sean's face.

At this moment, even he had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Using only the lowest level of reshaping ritual, not only was he able to adapt immediately, but the energy in his body even began to increase rapidly.

The body that didn't belong to him, the energy that didn't belong to him, he relied on the particularity of his consciousness to transform it into the power he once had.

How can such a huge amount of mental power be achieved?

No wonder, in that kind of ghost place, I can still keep my consciousness clear...

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Sean said calmly: "What happened to you and your daughter."

Serlot's body froze, and then he raised his head, the hatred in his eyes almost solidifying.

"I am a non-commissioned officer in the 12th Group of the Imperial Army. I was fighting on the front line half a month ago... During the battle, I was seriously injured, and finally returned with the wounded team to repair."

"The march came near the imperial capital, but we suddenly encountered an ambush... We tried to resist, but the opponent was too strong. Our team seemed to have tens of thousands of people, but in fact they were all wounded. Many of them have not even recovered their ability to move."

"The resistance only lasted for a moment, and we were enveloped by a large unknown energy field, and then lost consciousness..."

Serlot hit the ground with his fist, and the sound in his throat was like a lion's roar: "Before I fainted, I saw the face of the enemy... I have seen one of them... he is the Silent One under His Majesty!"

"When I woke up again, I was already soaked in it..."

At the mention of the energy capsule in the cemetery, Selot's veins popped out, and his back was wet with sweat in an instant.

"I will never forget that kind of pain... I also vaguely know that I was used as some kind of energy..."

"But..." He gasped violently, his eyes were red, and a trace of blood spread from the corner of his mouth, accompanied by some debris.

He actually gritted his teeth forcefully, and the sound in his throat seemed to rise from hell.

"I felt Ye Fu...that's my daughter...she was supposed to be waiting for me to come back in the city...but I clearly felt...she was by my side!"

"ah!!!"

He suddenly roared to the sky, and the brand new body he had just completed with the reshaping ceremony showed signs of exploding.

"They... how dare they! How dare they include my daughter... She, she is only five years old!"

Serlot fell to his knees in pain and clutched his head.

The pain of being absorbed, charged, and reshaped was unspeakable, but Serlot never shed a tear.

Now that his daughter was mentioned, the father beat the ground in pain and could not stop his tears.

Sean chuckled, and then slowly said: "It's pretty much what I thought..."

Serlot raised his head in disbelief: "That, that means, you, you have seen my daughter!"

"nature."

Serlot was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what was happening: "I had vaguely noticed before... It was you! You rescued me?! Then, where is my daughter?"

What a keen sense of perception...

Sean just said calmly: "I can only save you."

Serlot said in a panic: "Why? Can I, can I change it to my daughter? Or, or, I will do anything for you, I just ask you to rescue her again!"

Sean smiled: "I can only save you."

Serlot immediately froze on the spot, his face turned visibly pale, and finally he raised his head tremblingly: "Is it because... I can maintain... consciousness?"

This guy is smart...

Sean nodded: "You are very sharp."

Serlot grabbed his hair: "Then, Ye Fu is my daughter...she should have inherited my talent, right? Can you, can you go and see it again?"

Sean waved his hand: "You and your daughter appeared there. Who did it? You should already have the answer in your mind. Saving you has alarmed the other party. It is impossible to go back."

"How...could..."

Serlot looked at the ground in despair. Immediately, he got up and staggered towards the direction where he came from.

Sean didn't stop him, but just said the last thing: "Go back and reunite with your daughter?"

His steps paused, but there was no hesitation.

"Ye Fu needs me...my daughter needs her father..."

Sean burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha... Incompetent people always comfort themselves like this."

Serlot turned away stiffly.

Then, he saw a huge shadow slowly standing up between the sky and the earth.

There seemed to be countless wandering souls flying around him, and it seemed that magma from the ground was about to emerge behind his feet.

There was no temptation in that long voice, and he just asked him in a calm tone: "I'll give you a... ha, this can't be called an opportunity. I'll give you a road, and when you reach the end, there will be only despair and despair. Crazy, body and consciousness will be destroyed together...but you have a glimmer of hope that you can save your daughter by yourself..."

Before Sean could finish speaking, Thurlot fell to his knees with a plop.

He didn't hesitate.

The warmth in his eyes slowly sank deep into the depths, leaving only hatred and madness.

"I'm willing to give everything...everything!"

Excitement flashed in Sean's eyes. He moved his fingers, and another unlucky crazy beast was controlled to come here.

The crazy beast fell to the ground with a mournful cry. Sean made a gesture, and the power of the ritual was slowly spinning around.

"Eat it."

Serlot jumped on the corpse like a wild beast, and he was devouring it.

"The source of trouble..." Sean chuckled, "I hope it can bring me some surprises."

Noah's voice rang in Sean's mind: "Three Saints, I need to remind you. The source of trouble is a ritual rooted in despair, but this Mr. Thurlot is not completely desperate. He still has a huge vision, which doesn’t match the description of the ceremony.”

Sean chuckled.

"So, those weird cultists don't even know how to do research..."

He looked at Serlot who was lying on the ground, devouring flesh and blood crazily.

The latter's belly was growing and shrinking, and the aura of madness and despair began to overflow.

Sean recited the prayer in a low voice, and finally said leisurely:

"If there is no hope, how can we despair?"

…

Royal palace, bedroom.

"Bang!"

There was a sudden sound in the room, and several chamberlains hurried in.

"His Majesty……"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a large number of black nematodes poured out of it like a tide.

The chamberlains' eyes widened, and fear became their last expression.

The shriveled body was dragged away by a dark figure, and another dark figure appeared in the room.

He was covered in prosthetic armor and wore a pair of pure black glasses.

In front of the bed, the emperor was breathing heavily.

The black shadow stepped forward and made a few sign language movements.

The emperor took a deep breath and then slowly lay back on the bed.

"There's something wrong with the cemetery...take someone to check it out."

The black shadow nodded and immediately disappeared from the spot.

The emperor lay flat on the bed and stared at the gorgeous classical ceiling for a while.

After a moment, he turned around with some difficulty, and during this process, one of his hands even fell on the bed.

The emperor just grabbed his hand and pressed it back to his shoulder.

He looked at the potted plants beside the bed. There was an ordinary little tree there.

"Mother...I really can't wait...all this will be discovered sooner or later..."

The emperor's body suddenly trembled strangely.

This time the breathing was more intense and heavy, and the tired but rapid heartbeat almost spread throughout the room.

After a long time, the emperor finally calmed down.

He breathed heavily and looked at the little tree with an incomprehensible look.

"Ha...haha..." He suddenly laughed nervously, "This is my destiny, this is everything I should do... Mother, you will be happy... Of course, you should be too. "

He opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner, and then densely packed black worms crawled out of his mouth.

In the deserted palace, the old body was trembling constantly. The strong pollution tried to spread out, but was completely absorbed by the small potted plant.

"Fate...it's just fate..."

…

In the main hall, high-ranking officials and nobles still wearing mourning clothes gathered here, discussing various things in low voices.

It seems that the unfortunate death of the eldest prince has changed His Majesty's mind. He has not been involved in political affairs for more than ten years, but the frequency of summoning them is much higher these days.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and everyone immediately shut their mouths.

The emperor was still sitting on the throne in the shadows, and the palace minister Covens took a step forward.

"The meeting begins——"

As in the previous two days, all major events in the imperial capital were reported, and after decisions were made through discussion, the high-ranking officials and nobles retreated to their positions.

His Majesty always says something at the end of court meetings these days.

"Bai Si."

"My son is here." The fourth prince Bai Si took a step forward.

The emperor's voice was still old and tired: "The progress of the statue needs to be accelerated."

Although Bai Si was a little surprised, speeding up the progress meant that he could have a firmer grip on the power in his hands, so he immediately agreed.

"My son understands that after the court meeting, he will rush to the construction site in person to supervise all the workers."

The emperor nodded, and then waved, and two black figures appeared next to him.

A look of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, this is...the Silent One?

His Majesty’s absolute confidant team has basically never appeared in front of people in recent years. This is...

The emperor said calmly: "They will assist you in completing this matter."

Bai Si was stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded: "I understand, and I will definitely cooperate with you two adults."

"Yes." The emperor nodded. He was about to stand up and leave, but suddenly he sat back on the throne as if he remembered something.

"By the way, where is Concubine Lan?" he asked.

Covance replied: "These days, Concubine Lan has been staying in the quiet room of her palace to reflect."

Lan Keer left the position where the person in charge should be last time, and this silent reflection is not considered punishment.

However, at this point, there shouldn't be much punishment, right?

Almost everyone thinks so.

The emperor pondered for a while and finally waved his hand.

"Bai Zhan's funeral had some changes due to Concubine Lan's negligence. According to the laws of the empire, how should we punish her?"

No one in the audience said anything. After all, this was Concubine Lan... Moreover, His Majesty had just delegated power to the Fourth Prince Bai Si, who was Concubine Lan's son.

Seeing that no one was talking, Speaker Lan Youshan stepped forward and said softly: "According to the imperial law, the person who presided over the funeral ceremony of the prince left his post without permission and should be severely punished - he could be deprived of his title of concubine and be caned."

Lan Youshan was Lam's father. He came out to express that the Lan family would not favor Lam.

Of course, it was just a superficial non-partisanship, which was also an attitude - it was all up to His Majesty to deal with.

Things would not be that serious after all...

Sure enough, the emperor nodded.

He pondered for a moment, and finally looked at Bai Si: "Bai Si, how do you think your mother should be punished?"

Bai Si knelt down quickly: "Mother made a mistake, so she should be punished... But, I heard that the silence that day had ended, but I didn't expect that someone would go to mourn again. Mother herself is weak, and she worked hard those days. She thought the ceremony was over, so she went to rest... I dare to beg my father to relax the punishment for mother a little."

Although it is not fair for a son to say this, it is normal for a son to plead for his mother.

Lan Youshan asked for punishment according to the law, and Bai Si said some good words to plead for mercy, which is also a common routine in officialdom.

If this goes on, Concubine Lan will probably be reprimanded, reflect on it for a month, and fine some fixed expenses, which is probably enough.

Everyone thinks so.

Including Lan Youshan and Bai Si.

They all know the final direction of this matter, but what should be said and done still needs to be completed.

Then, the emperor spoke.

"Well... but you don't know that because of the departure of the person in charge, the ceremony is not complete. I just received news that there are some problems in the mausoleum."

Everyone looked up in astonishment.

Aren't those burial ceremonies just formalities?

It's mainly for the majesty and irreplaceability of the royal family... Landing on the moon, landing on the moon, who can't even see the moon?

Even Lan Youshan and Bai Si didn't react.

The emperor waved his hand: "Concubine Lan has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. Although I am heartbroken, I must act according to the law... Concubine Lan, I will give you death."

Everyone opened their mouths in disbelief.

But the emperor didn't give anyone a chance to speak again, he had already stood up.

"The date will be set in five days. Before the death, all titles will be stripped away."

He walked in, and at this time, Bai Si finally reacted.

"Father! Father! Please think about it again!"

The emperor did not stop his steps, but left the last sentence.

"Bai Si, do your job well."

Bai Si and Lan Youshan both stopped where they were.

The others were slow to react.

This... is too absurd.
