Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

After receiving the manager's reminder, Aarons did not stay here to bother him.

After all, the manager's body was in such a decayed state that even just talking might consume the remaining life of the other party.

"We need to talk to the demons... Yalu, please."

"The previous Locke will do."

The young demon who took good care of me when I just woke up is indeed the best candidate to get information.

But that person was glared back by Yalu just now... Where can I find him now?

"Hey, you two... Have you met the manager?"

"... Why are you back again?"

"I originally came to ask the manager something important, but I almost forgot it just now."

However, as soon as the two of them went out, they saw the young demon named Locke again - although the other party was obviously a little afraid of the girl next to Aarons, he still bravely expressed his thoughts.

... Is my sister really scary?

"After asking, come and help us."

"...Okay, then you wait a moment."

After watching the tall demon youth hurriedly run into the building where the manager was, Aarons began to think.

He didn't have much memory in his head, but some important knowledge was still there-the demons who almost destroyed human civilization should not have this appearance similar to humans.

Why did these people become like this? And why did they hide in such a place far away from the world?

"I'm back, alas... the result is not good."

"What happened?"

Not long after, Locke walked out of the manager's residence.

But the expression on his face seemed quite solemn, as if he had received some bad news.

"You probably don't know what's going on here yet, right? I'll take you and Wu...your sister around the village first, and then we'll talk while we walk."

"I'm Yalu."

"Oh, oh...ok, I remember...Yalu is Aarons' sister."

Looking at the tall and strong Locke being frightened by a girl who was half his height, Aarons just felt a little funny.

However, he was also keenly aware that Yalu must be a special existence in the eyes of the people here - and why would such an existence call him brother?

What happened before he lost his memory?

"Okay, let's go to the guard team to meet first, and I have to inform others about the matter."

...

Since Aarons' physical strength was not enough, Locke deliberately matched his pace when leading the way. And Yalu followed them carelessly, as if she had no interest in these things at all.

This feeling was quite leisurely - Aarons's originally somewhat anxious mood was calmed down a lot because of this.

"I just went to the manager to ask about the barrier outside this shelter."

"... Barrier?"

"What keeps this place hidden is not only the surrounding mountains, but also the barrier cast by the manager herself... According to the older generation, she supported the barrier covering the entire area a thousand years ago... Until now."

One person supports the barrier that protects the entire shelter? The manager whose body is about to decay and wither... actually persisted in this for a thousand years?

She is still a human... How did she do it?

"But you can see the manager's current state... She has been consuming her vitality. Even if she has crossed the taboo level of you humans, it has reached the limit."

"Taboo..."

The little knowledge in Aarons' head told him that the so-called taboo level is the so-called sixth level.

People who reach this level usually have a long lifespan, but basically lose their original strength-but the manager has reached this level since a thousand years ago.

Is she always burning her life?

"Now the barrier often has loopholes, and when loopholes appear, some guys with bad intentions may sneak in."

"Are there monsters outside?"

"It's humans... Ten years ago, a human army has been stationed outside the barrier."

Humans are actually coveting this place? No, considering that they are demons who were once enemies of humans, perhaps those humans are just wary of their threats.

"Those people will capture demons and use them as slaves."

"Slaves... Ugh!"

After hearing Yalu behind him say a certain word, Aarons suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain.

Slaves... What does it seem like he has something to do with slaves?

"Are you okay? You need to rest for a while"I'm fine, I just have a headache suddenly... Go on." After realizing that Aarons was a little bit wrong, Locke immediately stopped and cared about his physical condition. However, Aarons' headache only flashed by and soon returned to normal. "The human army has always wanted to invade here and capture all of us... Oh, by the way, do you know why the appearance of us demons is very similar to that of you humans?" "The manager didn't tell me." "Well, in fact, I just heard from my elders... When the first generation of demons just moved here, they were all huge monsters with terrifying appearances. But later, a genius from the Jiaojiao tribe completed the taboo breakthrough and found a way to reduce his body and change his appearance." Aarons always felt that he had heard about this somewhere, but his memory was empty and there was no clue at all. "After that, the manager designed a secret technique to change the form according to that person's experience of change. Then all the demons became similar to your human appearance, and it has continued to this day. "

"Really amazing."

But Aarons also knew that just changing the appearance was not enough to allow these demons to integrate into human society.

"Transformation does reduce a lot of trouble, and it also makes up for a lot of the innate spiritual defects of our demons... But we also lost our original power, and our strength has become almost the same as that of humans."

"Are the people outside interested in your lifespan? Or something else?"

"Although we have lost our original power, our bodies still have the same strength as monsters... So most of our compatriots captured by humans have become... toys."

Whether this word refers to bloody fighting skills or torture at night, Locke did not say clearly. But from his solemn expression, these two terrible results are likely to exist at the same time.

"But you don't have to worry. Because your sister is here, even if the barrier is damaged, it is difficult for humans to find a passage to enter here... We haven't suffered any losses in the past two years, but we all rely on her."

"Ya Lu, very amazing."

"...I see. "

Although Locke said it quite lightly, Aarons' mood still became a little heavy.

He wanted to do something to help these people...but he didn't know what a human like himself could do.
