I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The woman's screams seemed endless, constantly assaulting the fragile nerves of the maniac.

Finally, when he was five steps away from Li Yue, the maniac suddenly stopped, turned around, and slit the woman's throat, giving Li Yue a live demonstration of his messy knife skills—two saws crossed, grinding through the woman's neck.

Blood foamed from the woman's throat, and her screams ceased abruptly after a rapid burst, followed by the separation of her head from her body.

Just then, Li Yue's mind stirred, and his attention suddenly shifted to the two saws—the maniac was undoubtedly human, but these two saws were strange.

Many wronged souls were attached to the saws, although each was just a wisp, it proved the countless blood debts on the maniac's hands.

After cutting off the head, the maniac carefully placed the woman's body against the wall, as if setting up a cake waiting to be cut.

【Later… Enjoy together…】

Without a doubt, the maniac regarded the merchant-like Li Yue as a piece of cake as well.

【Malice +144】

Li Yue certainly didn't have time to waste with the maniac. A murderous intent arose, and he stepped towards him and the saws in his hands.

"There's someone outside the alleyway." Yingying sensed Li Yue's murderous intent and gave a warning.

The woman's screams as she died had attracted passersby. Li Yue wasn't sure who it was, but he didn't care.

"I am acting on behalf of Heaven, killing a maniac. There's nothing wrong with that…" Li Yue first affirmed himself in his mind, but the main reason was that he was in a hurry and didn't want to delay.

Indeed, for a merchant, encountering a maniac in an alleyway was clearly not a problem that money could solve. There were only two outcomes…

Kill or be killed.

So Li Yue faced the oncoming saw, and lunged forward—as he lunged, Li Yue truly opened his chest, and the Demon Wolf's Fang in his chest pierced the maniac's flesh.

Dandan also didn't waste this great opportunity, and with perfect understanding, sucked dry the maniac's blood, then his flesh, skin, and bones.

【So comfortable… But I… Can only… Stop now…? It wasn't easy to come to Dessel… I haven't even become a demon yet…】

These were the maniac's last thoughts—in Ant Alley, the saw fell, and one person was gone.

【Damn… The maniac in the alley… Is dead…? Damn it… Should I go take a look later to see if I can pick up anything…?】

A figure flashed at the alley entrance, footsteps stopped, and hid around the corner.

Li Yue squatted halfway on the ground, examining the maniac's corpse, and picked up the saws entwined with several wisps of wronged souls, hanging them on his waist—his current identity was a merchant, there was no reason to ignore anything of any value.

Perhaps he could exchange them for something good at the Demon Market…

Li Yue got up and looked at the headless woman—this woman was once a resident of the town of Dessel, and had fallen into a half-human, half-demon state. From a distance, Li Yue had already included her in the Demon Illustrated Handbook.

A 1016 half-demon, whose strength varied depending on the number of souls residing in their body. The woman was one of the weaker ones, no more than an insect even among demons.

【Ah—What a waste—One less soul collected—】

The headless woman was still screaming in her heart.

Li Yue pretended not to know, ignored her, and searched the maniac's corpse, only finding a few pieces of broken candy, not even a copper coin.

At the same time, the human at the alley entrance began to poke his head around, his thoughts gradually becoming active.

【As expected of a merchant coming to the Demon Market to buy goods, not letting go of even this little bit of money…】

Hearing the thoughts of the person at the alley entrance, Li Yue roughly knew his identity—like himself, he was a merchant coming to participate in the Demon Market, only he was likely from the real human world.

After searching the maniac, Li Yue still felt it wasn't enough, got up and squatted next to the headless woman, picking up her bag and pockets; and seeing Li Yue's actions, the person at the alley entrance finally couldn't help but come in and greet Li Yue.

"Hey, finders keepers."

The merchant got closer, wanting a share of the pie.

Li Yue didn't speak, sizing up this human—he had brown hair, a hooked nose, a medium build, a money bag at his waist, two miniature pistols in his sleeves, each clip with two bullets, and a strangely shaped large machete stuck in his lower back.

"Hey, you don't need to search, she definitely doesn't have any money on her, but her clothes can be taken away, and if you take them outside of Dessel… they can sell for a good price."

The human pointed to the headless woman's clothes.

"Why doesn't she have any money?" Li Yue looked through the headless woman, staring intensely at the piece of wood in her heart, wondering if he should take it out.

"Is this your first time at the Demon Market?" The merchant laughed, "This woman isn't human at all, she's a wronged soul from Dessel, specifically used to attract fallen people, and then take their souls."

"And every time the Demon Market opens, many maniacs are attracted to come here and become demons…"

"So they deliberately get killed?" Li Yue finally understood the logic just now—the fallen half-demons of Dessel use themselves as bait for the maniacs, attracting them to fall and join the Dessel family…

Quite dedicated.

But what do they need so many souls for?

【Ah—Merchant—Needs the lure of money—Hurry up and get lost—The Town Square has everything you want—Trading at the Demon Market—Can attract your souls to fall—】

The headless woman was still screaming in her heart.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Abed, from the Sand Country."

The merchant introduced himself to Li Yue, slightly raising his right hand, three fingers pointing to his right chest.

Li Yue remembered that this was the gesture of the Scorpion Tribe of the Southern Sand Country.

"Grandet." Li Yue also gave the name he had prepared long ago, pretending to be a greedy merchant from the Sea of ​​Death.

"What a strange name…" Abed frowned slightly, but quickly let it go, "What do you think, Mr. Grandet, I see that you are quite skilled and cultivated, would you like to cooperate?"

【Funds… Vision… Any help is welcome… Let's all get rich…】

When Li Yue defaulted "money" as Abed's desire, his thoughts became clearer.

"What is the content of the cooperation? I have no interest in human trafficking." Although Li Yue had learned about the death town of Dessel and the Demon Market in the library, learning from books is ultimately superficial. Having a merchant who is truly familiar with the market is not bad.

"I believe you can also see that, like you, I am here to buy goods at the Demon Market, and I don't have any goods to sell with me…" Abed stated his intentions, "But we can share information and vision with each other, and when necessary… there can also be financial assistance."

"What do you want to buy?" Li Yue looked through Abed's money bag, counting a few good quality gems.

What was strange was that, apart from the gems, Abed's money bag didn't have many gold coins, but was full of fine sand, vaguely containing magic.

Li Yue became a little more interested in this Abed.

【Buy a few demons back…】

"Mr. Grandet, this counts as information…" Abed joked.

"Okay, you don't have to answer. Correspondingly, if you need me to share anything, you have to pay the price." Li Yue needed Abed's knowledge and his money bag, so he agreed to the cooperation.

"Just kidding, I'm a human trafficker. This time I want to buy a few demons back to dedicate to the chief… to dedicate to the king… What about you?" Abed felt like he hadn't gotten off to a good start.

Li Yue held out his palm, signaling for money.

Abed laughed, of course not intending to pay anything for this information—isn't it just the goal, you can figure it out by watching a few times.

"Demons, I know a lot about them, you've come to the right person." Li Yue didn't force it, and walked with Abed towards the Town Square, heading to the real Demon Market.

【Hehe… A merchant who has come to the Demon Market for the first time, how could he know more about demons than me?】

Abed also had his pride as a merchant.

Li Yue didn't comment, chatting with Abed about the sights of the Demon Market, clarifying a few common senses—the Demon Market also had high and low areas. The Town Square belonged to the low area, trading some ordinary magic materials or demons, and the management was relatively chaotic; the high area was in the auction house converted from the Town Hall, which was full of good things.

However, entering the auction house required an introducer and a lot of money, and ordinary people couldn't just enter if they wanted to; and the transactions in the auction house were protected by the Demon Market, and disrupting the transaction would have serious consequences.

Usually it was death, or like those fallen humans, their souls were sucked into Dessel, becoming a member of the death town.

While talking, the two merchants walked through a mist.

"Hey! The space here has been folded!" Dandan was unusually sensitive to this kind of thing, reminding Li Yue.

Li Yue didn't comment—because as soon as he entered the Town Square, Li Yue was shocked by the dazzling array of goods.

Aren't all these people and demons on the ground goods?

If you choose the right target, isn't this a vegetable garden, not the Demon Market?
