I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Hearing familiar footsteps, Leiyue woke up. Google search reading

Extending his thoughts, Leiyue seemed to see a skeleton soldier walking towards the cell, the very one who had previously carried the silver platter—it was holding a bottle of cheap red wine, pouring it down its empty throat into its chest cavity, flowing past its spine and hips, dripping onto the ground, drop by drop all the way.

Speaking of which, Leiyue felt it was quite dutiful—other skeletons rested after the revelry, only this Oogey Boogey's darling...even drunk like this, it still remembered to check on the new prisoner.

Leiyue recalled that the skeleton's soul resided in the back of its head...Leiyue picked up the sharpest pebble and threw it to the opposite side, waiting for the moment the skeleton stood outside the cell.

"Heh heh heh...you little bastard...daddy's here to see you again..." The skeleton suddenly stopped when it reached the fifth cell on Leiyue's left, and Leiyue couldn't quite understand.

Clang clang, creak...it was the sound of the iron door opening; being so far away, Leiyue really couldn't imagine what the skeleton was doing.

The skeleton's actions brought new trouble to Leiyue—what if this guy wasn't here to see him, but to have fun, did he have to wait any longer?

Of course not.

Leiyue drove his thoughts, and with a "clang," he struck the cell door, causing the skeleton's movements to pause.

"Damn, what's going on..." The skeleton cursed and pushed open the cell door, returning to the correct route.

"You piece of trash...heh...the next Slaughter Cup is scheduled in three days, you won't live long..." The skeleton walked to the door, inadvertently revealing an important message.

Three days later? As expected.

Leiyue knew that Oogey Boogey wouldn't let him off easily, and three days was within expectations—holding a Slaughter Cup required a lot of preparation, such as passing messages, specifying schedules and rewards...three days was almost the fastest speed in the arena.

The only difference was that this time, the grand prize would no longer be that supreme magic stone.

"The next Slaughter Cup...I think I might not be able to participate." Leiyue shook his head, transmitting his thoughts with regret.

"Bullshit! You owe Lord Oogey Boogey a debt, you can't escape it for the rest of your life, you must participate!" The skeleton shouted angrily, its jaw almost dislocating, "Or...are you afraid of dying here? No, I've made arrangements with all the trash, they won't kill you, at most..."

【Malice +12】

Tsk tsk...too little, the collection of malice may really be related to the content of the evil thoughts—but Leiyue didn't plan to test the rules on the skeleton, after all, this skeleton was bound to die, and who knows when the next one would come.

"Die..." Leiyue said silently, gathering his mental strength, and saw a sharp pebble rise behind the chattering skeleton, easily piercing the back of its head.

"Cutting your brain weakens your life..." The skeleton's cackling stopped abruptly, like a puppet whose strings were suddenly cut, collapsing in front of the cell door.

Thump! The wine bottle fell to the ground unbroken, flowing horizontally, like a wooden bottle ship lost its cork and its ship.

Creak—Leiyue manipulated the key to open the cell door, regaining his freedom.

The "vegetable garden" corridor was still quite quiet, the flickering of the firelight was also somewhat slow, it seemed...this was what Demon King City really looked like at night; the wind blew gently, and the faint "woo woo" sound could hardly be detected, sobbing in the distance, the prisoners' groans were also almost non-existent, whether they were tired, sleepy, or dead.

Leiyue was not in a hurry to leave, but first dismantled and broke the skeleton of the tray skeleton piece by piece, and then threw it into the nearby empty cell, mixed with those skeletons, indistinguishable from each other.

Afterwards, Leiyue picked up the wine bottle in his left hand, the skeleton's machete in his right hand, and pinned the bunch of keys around his waist; taking slightly staggering steps, his teeth lightly touched, scattering some drunken murmurs...

Leiyue felt that he had really become that skeleton, inspecting his vegetable garden.

Out of curiosity, Leiyue first came to the cell five spaces away on the right, and saw a lifeless skeleton inside pieced together into an indescribable form, and a huge question mark rose in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Leiyue strolled through the corridor of the vegetable garden, inspecting the prisoners in the cells one by one—was there a better opportunity to increase the number of demon illustrations recorded?

Maybe there was, but there wouldn't be any in the short term.

For Leiyue, scanning one more demon was equivalent to having multiple identities, it was better to take advantage of the fact that the Slaughter Cup's revelry had just ended, and no one would disturb him at this moment...analyze a few more.

So Leiyue first came to the two rooms opposite the original cell and looked at the prisoners inside—it was right to say they were people, the vegetable garden itself was to imprison some humans with no status, weak demons...for experiments and transactions, and the one Leiyue was facing at the moment was a human, a female.

A girl, a very beautiful girl—from a human aesthetic point of view.

She was awakened by the noise of the skeleton's death just now, and was shrinking in the corner looking at Leiyue, covered with a tattered mat, which was difficult to cover her entire body.

Even if he transformed into a skeleton, Leiyue still used the perception of the brain spirit to explore the environment, so covering his vision was useless.

The girl had short hair, her head shrunk between her knees, according to Leiyue's perception of color, the girl's hair color should be silver; her ends were broken and not very regular, even a little rough, and at this moment her round eyes were rolling, swaying back and forth between Leiyue and the cell door.

That petite body hugged her legs against the wall, seemingly trying to hide herself, showing the same fear as an animal instinct; and compared to her body, her limbs were quite slender, even if curled up together, they were still exquisitely visible...

This was the first time Leiyue had "seen" a human up close in this world, and the time he was stunned was inevitably a little longer—it seemed that the humans here were no different from the world he came from, and they didn't have any extra arms or anything.

"Don't come over..." Maybe Leiyue stared for too long, and the girl shrank even deeper.

The girl's voice was sweet, mixed with a hint of coldness in her weakness, as if nothing in this world could move the owner of this voice anymore.

"Won't." Leiyue subconsciously transmitted his thoughts to her, and then clumsily "hehehe" a sound.

"Huh?" The girl didn't seem to be very sensitive to magic, and didn't notice the subtle difference, but she really sensed Leiyue's will.

"It's nothing." Leiyue suddenly thought of a question he had no time to think about before—there were not only demons in Demon King City, but also imprisoned humans, just like the girl in front of him.

Then as a demon, as a brain spirit Leiyue...what attitude should he take towards humans?

Save them? It would be okay if he met kind people, but if he met humans who hated demons, would they turn around and end him with a knife?

Don't save them? Leiyue hadn't lost his humanity, and obviously couldn't really treat human life like dirt like a monster.

"What are you going to do?" The girl saw the stunned skeleton and inexplicably raised a fire in her heart—although she didn't know what would happen, she vaguely felt that this skeleton was different.

Moreover, this skeleton had a bunch of keys around its waist.

"I'm just a thief, I'm lost, and I accidentally came here, please let me go..." The girl's eyes instantly filled with tears, and her delicate fingers also tightly grasped the mat, suppressing the numerous scars below.

Leiyue could understand every word she said, but still couldn't decide what to do, and even forgot to use the Demon Illustrated Book.

"What's your name?" As soon as he asked, Leiyue regretted it.
