Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

As the setting sun dipped below the horizon, the gates of a magnificent manor in the royal capital swung open. Yusha, dressed in a maid's uniform, entered with a faint smile, followed closely by several figures with dazed expressions.

"Sister, you're back!"

Inside the courtyard, Yuli, who had been sitting bored in a large tree, heard the commotion and turned to see her sister Yusha walking in. With a bounce, she jumped straight down from the tree and ran towards Yusha.

"Yes, I'm back. Yuli, how did things go in Karn Village with Master today?"

Yusha gently patted Yuli's head as she looked at the happy girl in front of her.

"Master said he got what he wanted to know, and Master also…"

Surrounding Yusha, Yuli chattered on, telling her everything that had happened that day. Then, she curiously looked at the dazed figures behind Yusha, especially when Yuli noticed a man in pink clothes who looked rather effeminate. Subconsciously, her eyes revealed hatred and fear.

Anpetiv Kerocdol, the leader of the slave trading department of Eight Fingers. He was the one who killed Yuli and her sister's parents and captured them, bringing them to the royal capital. Seeing him now, Yuli couldn't help but recall the first time she and her sister had seen him.

"Alright, Yuli, they are what Master needs now."

At that moment, Yusha reached out and gently embraced Yuli. Yusha understood Yuli's feelings perfectly. In fact, when Yusha went to capture the Eight Fingers leaders today, the first one she caught was Anpetiv Kerocdol, who had been hiding in that underground brothel.

It could be said that Yusha could have killed him at any time if she wanted to, but instead of giving in to her own hatred, Yusha chose to obey Lu Minghao's orders. She merely tortured him to find out the locations of the other Eight Fingers leaders and ultimately chose to bring him back.

Moreover, to avoid affecting Anpetiv Kerocdol's usefulness to Lu Minghao, Yusha had completely healed all of Anpetiv Kerocdol's injuries from the torture before returning.

"I understand, Sister."

Yusha buried her head in her sister's arms. After a few moments of silence, she raised her head and said with a smile, "At least, compared to being trapped in despair and helplessness, waiting to die, they now have a new life because of Master."

From the day they were rescued by Master and left that underground brothel, everything they had no longer belonged to them. It all belonged to Master.

"Let's go. Don't keep Master waiting too long."

With that, Yusha took Yuli's hand and walked towards the manor. Behind them, the Eight Fingers leaders, who had already been completely turned into puppets by Yusha's ability, followed blankly. After they left, the open gate slammed shut automatically.

In a dark corner not far from the gate, a pair of twin sisters dressed as adventurers exchanged a glance and chose to turn and leave. As for infiltrating the manor, the two adventurers had no such thoughts. Instinct told them that if they wanted to live, they had better stay away from this place.

At the same time, inside the hall, Lu Minghao put down the wine glass in his hand and looked up at the approaching Yusha sisters.

"Master, I'm back."

Seeing Lu Minghao, Yusha gently lifted her skirt and curtsied before saying, then took Yuli to stand behind Lu Minghao and snapped her fingers to release the control over the Eight Fingers leaders.

"Where is this?"

"Monster! Don't come near me!"

"Who exactly are you?"

"No! No!"

The moment Yusha released her control, the Eight Fingers leaders, regaining consciousness, cried out in different voices. Their memories were still stuck in the moment when they had been completely controlled by Yusha. However, Yusha was not at all surprised by their reactions.

After all, anyone would react this way if they were faced with their own familiar subordinates turning into a group of irrational, beast-like monsters attacking them.

"Silence!"

The next second, just as the Eight Fingers leaders were still trying to figure out what was going on, Yusha's cold voice rang out in the hall. In an instant, the originally noisy Eight Fingers leaders fell silent and looked up ahead.

"Greetings, everyone."

Opposite them, a handsome black-haired, black-eyed teenager who looked to be about eighteen years old greeted them with a faint smile. Just as Qi Luo, the most hot-tempered of the Eight Fingers leaders, who ruled the security department of Eight Fingers, was about to question Lu Minghao's identity,

he suddenly saw the Yusha sisters standing behind Lu Minghao with indifferent expressions. Instantly, he remembered what had happened today. He, the strongest combat force of Eight Fingers, was as fragile as an infant in front of that maid-dressed girl.

Instinctively, Qi Luo swallowed the words he was about to say. Despite his fierce appearance, he acted obediently. The other Eight Fingers leaders also obediently looked at Lu Minghao.

At this moment, if anyone familiar with the Eight Fingers leaders saw this scene, they would definitely suspect that they were hallucinating. After all, these people were the Eight Fingers leaders who ruled the entire kingdom's underground forces. It would not be an exaggeration to call them the kings of the kingdom's underworld.

How could they possibly show such an obedient demeanor?

"May I ask who you are, sir? What is your purpose in bringing us here?"

At this moment, Hilma, a woman with long golden hair, purple eyeshadow and lipstick, and a charming face, walked out. She looked at Lu Minghao with a smile that made people feel good, thinking that with her charm and social skills,

she might be able to find out why they were brought here and secure the best chance of survival for herself.

"I brought you here because I have something I want to ask Eight Fingers to do. I heard that you rule the entire kingdom's underground world. I believe you should be able to complete this task very well."

Opposite her, Lu Minghao slightly raised his head and glanced at Hilma. In the original story, this woman completely submitted to Ainz Ooal Gown and played a significant role in Ainz Ooal Gown's plan to rule the kingdom later on. From the original story, she was a good tool.

"A task? May I ask what it is?"

Opposite him, Anpetiv Kerocdol, the head of the slave trading department, stepped forward and stared at Lu Minghao with shining eyes, knowing that since the kingdom began to ban overt slave trading, he had suffered the greatest losses in the entire Eight Fingers.

The other Eight Fingers leaders also looked at Lu Minghao with interest, after all, from the methods Lu Minghao used to bring them here, it could be seen that Lu Minghao was not one of those so-called righteous people.

The task that such an existence asked them to do might not only allow them to survive this time, but even gain a lot of benefits from it.

"What the task is doesn't matter. What matters now is that I think there are a few too many of you, and you haven't realized one thing…"

As he spoke, Lu Minghao stood up from the sofa and walked directly to Anpetiv Kerocdol, who was pinching his orchid fingers and looked disgusting. Looking at Lu Minghao who suddenly approached, Anpetiv Kerocdol subconsciously took a few steps back, with beads of sweat constantly dripping from his forehead.

"Right now, I'm telling you to do things, not to cooperate. You're just my 'tools,' not even worth as much as dogs. Regarding my orders, all you need to do, and all you can do, is one thing: complete them at all costs, instead of thinking about how much profit you can get from them here."

*Smack!*

Just as Lu Minghao finished speaking, Anpetife Kokdol on the opposite side was so frightened that he sat weakly on the ground. The other eight-fingered leaders on the side looked almost the same. Just now, they seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, surrounded by viscous, pitch-black mud. The mud was all composed of substantial 'evil,' and in the mud, pairs of bloodthirsty and ruthless eyes were staring at them.

"Okay, now you probably recognize your identities. But if you haven't, it doesn't matter. The first thing you need to do now is that there are too many of you. I don't need that many. Except for her, you can leave one of the rest."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao pointed his finger at Hilma, who was full of fear, with a gentle smile on his lips. It could be seen from the original work that this person had good social skills, which would be of great use to Lu Minghao's next plan.

"You... are you joking?"

At this moment, Anpetife Kokdol, who was frightened and weak, raised his head and looked at Lu Minghao with a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in that sharp and unpleasant voice.

"...."

On the opposite side, Lu Minghao was too lazy to answer him, just showing a smile. For Lu Minghao, two eight-fingered leaders were enough. Too many people would cause disagreements in the orders he issued. As for turning them into his familiars, Lu Minghao said that he didn't need such trash familiars.

*Puff!*

Suddenly, a long sword pierced through the chest of Noah Ziedon, the gambling minister of Eight Fingers. The severe pain and the smell of blood coming from the tip of his nose made him, who was caught off guard, a little dazed. When he turned his head, he saw Qi Luo standing behind him with a ferocious face.

"Die!"

Looking at Noah Ziedon looking at him, Qi Luo grinned, stretched out his big hand and grabbed his head tightly, and held the hilt of the sword in the other hand and stabbed it a few more times until blood flowed all over the ground along the wound, Qi Luo then threw Noah Ziedon's body away and looked at the others around him.

On the opposite side, the other eight-fingered leaders who had reacted all changed their expressions. They knew that the only chance to survive now was to make themselves the last one. As for resisting Lu Minghao, they didn't have the slightest idea of doing so now.

They would rather fight each other with their former companions than have any thoughts of resisting or escaping.

"Oh! Right, Yusha, Yuli, leave those guys to you two."

At this time, Lu Minghao turned his head and glanced at the Yusha sisters behind him, pointing at Anpetife Kokdol, who was still paralyzed on the ground. Lu Minghao had long known clearly what Yusha and Yuli were thinking.

Now, handing Anpetife Kokdol over to the Yusha sisters was just a side matter. For his familiars, Lu Minghao had more or less a trace of concern, but the premise was that this concern would not affect his plan.

After all, apart from Sally, his first familiar, the rest of the familiars were just slightly more important 'tools'.

"Yes, Master."

"Thank you, Master."

Behind them, the Yusha sisters showed sweet smiles after hearing Lu Minghao's words. Then, amidst Anpetife Kokdol's terrified pleas, the Yusha sisters grabbed his hair and dragged him towards the basement.

"Okay, stop looking. You have three minutes left. If it's not over after three minutes, then all of you will be useless."

The next second, Lu Minghao clapped his hands, completely attracting the attention of the remaining people who had been attracted by the Yusha sisters, and said words like the whispers of a demon with a smile on his face.

When Lu Minghao finished speaking, the few people who had already started fighting each other completely became crazy. Fists, feet, and even teeth became their weapons, and they began to fight in the hall like crazy beasts.

As for Hilma, the lucky one designated by Lu Minghao, she obediently walked to Lu Minghao's side, lowered her head and trembled constantly, and from time to time heard the crazy roars and dying wails of her former companions.

Two minutes and fifteen seconds later, Qi Luo, the leader of the 'Six Arms' with the highest combat power in the security department, staggered up from the ground, spitting out the minced meat in his mouth with a ferocious expression, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Lu Minghao.

"Very good. From now on, Eight Fingers will be ruled by you and Hilma. Also, I don't need to repeat what to do, right?"

"No need, Master."

On the opposite side, after hearing that he could live and rule the entire Eight Fingers, Qi Luo showed a smile on his blood-stained face, knelt down without hesitation, and guaranteed to Lu Minghao with a face like a dog wagging its tail.

"Well, what you need to do next is to spread the things in this book throughout the kingdom, even the entire world. As for not being able to do it, I believe you will regret living at this moment."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao casually threw a dark red book covered with dense tentacles on the surface, and the skin was still wriggling, onto Qi Luo's head. This thing was something Lu Minghao spent several hours making these days.

At first, it was just an ordinary book. As Lu Minghao recorded his various unimportant information on it, it directly turned into this appearance.

"Yes, Master!"

Qi Luo raised his body and carefully looked at the indescribable book in his hand, staring at it with his eyes, and a desire from the soul drove him to open this book, and strange whispers kept coming from his mind.

On the opposite side, Lu Minghao glanced at Qi Luo, who had already begun to be affected, and then became too lazy to pay attention. Anyway, Lu Minghao only needed him to use the power of Eight Fingers to spread the information recorded in the book. As for what Qi Luo would become later, Lu Minghao didn't care.

"By the way, and you, I remember you should be able to contact the nobles of this kingdom. What you have to do is the same as Qi Luo."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao threw a book that looked almost the same to Hilma, and all of this was for the purpose of spreading the information recording Lu Minghao himself as quickly as possible, starting with Qi Luo from the underground forces, gradually eroding the bottom of this world.

And Hilma was responsible for those nobles. After those nobles successfully obtained a part of the information recording Lu Minghao, under the trend of the polluted and distorted hearts and souls, they would crave more, and involuntarily convey a part of the information they knew.

"I wonder if the Bone King will be full of surprises when he travels through and sees a brand new world. After all, this time he doesn't have to fight wits and courage with the air."
