I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

As partners, Mini-Me and Brain Spirit have always gotten along harmoniously, rarely having any disputes. At most, they just have a bad relationship and ignore each other. Google Search Read

Of course, there have also been Mini-Me and Brain Spirit partners with close relationships -- Old Mini once saw Brain Spirit mischievously arranging Mini-Me to do this and that, eventually leading to Mini-Me's death. That's why he mustered the courage to say that to Li Yue.

"Using them..." Li Yue furrowed his brow, guessing that Old Mini must have seen through the relationship between the Mini-Me at the same table and himself after being questioned that day.

"But I am also protecting them." Li Yue did not deny his actions. "We should help each other."

"Aren't you using them... to complete the tasks Skolreg gave you? Aren't you afraid of being killed by Skolreg, so you insist on keeping them by your side... to help you?" Although Old Mini was afraid of Li Yue, this did not prevent him from questioning.

"No." Li Yue shook his head. "I just don't want them to die in the Chaos Gate..."

"I hope so..." Old Mini actually understood Li Yue's thoughts. "I hope your ideas won't change, and I hope you can really give them a safer future..."

"Of course, otherwise rely on you?"

"Me? I won't do anything, I just want to live." Old Mini looked at Old Mini-Me, who was already asleep. "After two more closed combat training sessions, we can go home..."

"I hope the Book Demon's arrangements won't change, and I hope I can survive the next closed combat training..."

Li Yue was silent, not wanting to expose Old Mini's fantasy.

"As for you... just do what you think is right. I'll just watch, see if the end is heaven or hell..." Old Mini sighed, "Anyway, Brain Spirits... are strange demons."

Li Yue had no obsession with whether he was on the "righteous" side, so he did not argue sternly, nor would he change his mind because of Old Mini's few taunts.

Similarly, as weak demons, they can use their strengths to gradually build the library into a more livable environment.

Only by living can there be justice.

"Then..." Li Yue sent another thought, but was interrupted by Old Mini.

"I won't apologize for putting 'your' Mini-Me in danger," Old Mini said, leaning against the corner of the wall, "but I will also tell you everything I know... about the closed combat training... everything."

Li Yue looked at Old Mini's calm appearance, feeling both pity and helplessness, and suddenly lost the idea of revenge.

"Okay, tell me." Li Yue crawled in front of Old Mini, quietly listening to him talk about the closed combat training.

If what Mini-Me heard from Old Mini yesterday was a general overview of the closed combat training, then tonight, Old Mini enriched Li Yue with more details, and even introduced the teachers of "War Studies" and "Humanity's Fall Studies."

This was, of course, a great gain -- especially for Li Yue at this moment.

But that was all.

The teacher of War Studies is named "Blood River." This is not an abstract name, but the actual existence of this teacher -- a river made of blood.

The Blood River has an almost infinite space inside. Each class will pull the commanders into the body and demonstrate by replicating some famous battles that have occurred on the Chaos Continent, and allow the commanders to change the combat conditions, and then start a new deduction or review.

It is said that as long as a drop of blood sprinkled on a battle is dripped in, "Blood River" can be connected with this battle, and then master the whole picture of the entire battle...

In the Blood River's simulated battle, the passage of time is different from that in Demon King City, and can be infinitely stretched -- Old Mini was once accidentally pulled into a battle by the Blood River... He didn't even know when and where it happened, and he didn't even know if he would really die if he accidentally died in this simulation...

In the end, Old Mini relied on his tenacious vitality to dig a cave and hide for two weeks before he survived until the battle was won.

Old Mini said that the two sides of the war were humans and the demon expeditionary army, but he only glanced at the queue and hid, without contacting any enemies made of "blood."

Everything experienced in the Blood River... also became Old Mini's nightmare.

To this day, Old Mini is still very afraid of seeing blood, because it always reminds him of the two weeks in the cave -- the blood permeated the soil, becoming his only source of water, and also constituting the endless sense of viscosity in his dreams.

Li Yue was amazed at the demon commander's combat training methods, and also had a new understanding of the strength of the teachers in the closed combat training -- just add a drop of blood to simulate the entire battle? What a powerful magic? What level of demon?

As for the teacher of Humanity's Fall Studies named "Bao'er"... she is a witch who has lived for thousands of years, and also the gatekeeper of an important facility in Demon King City -- the Pleasure Chamber.

Old Mini said that Bao'er can split herself, can change into any form, and can also understand the deepest desires of human hearts, so as to attract their depravity and control human behavior...

And this is also a compulsory course for the demon expeditionary army's intelligence department -- Old Mini said that the demons who love this class are mainly of the Nightmare family, and they don't think Mini-Me's heads are very fun, so Old Mini himself didn't encounter too much difficulty during the last combat training. Instead, the Nightmares ridiculed humans when they were taking this class, pretending to be humans and invading the dreams of other students...

Then, with Bao'er's indulgence, they turned the classroom into a Pleasure Chamber.

As for the 21st Demon King's teacher, Mentor's "Promotion Studies," Old Mini had never served him, and could not give Li Yue more information, which made Li Yue feel quite regretful.

"I don't know what you're trying to do by asking about these... specifically, how to do it..." Old Mini was a little tired from talking. "I've seen Brain Spirits who want to become stronger, but I've never seen a Brain Spirit who can participate in closed combat training."

"I don't think Brain Spirits can enter the Chaos Gate to steal knowledge. Even if you please Skolreg outside, he doesn't have the power to take you in..."

Old Mini thought that Li Yue was approaching Skolreg in order to participate in the closed combat training.

"What's more, demons don't look up to low-level demons. Your ambition... will not be satisfied..." Old Mini is a pessimistic guy, and that's why he has lived to this day. "Closed combat training... is really dangerous everywhere... I have no way to protect Mini-Me... and I don't want more demons to lose their lives because of this..."

"Don't be discouraged... After listening to you so much, I also have a word to tell you." Li Yue touched Old Mini's bald head with his thoughts, comforting his depression. "Mini-Me can't protect Mini-Me..."

"The weak... are not worthy to speak of 'protection'." Li Yue was very sure of this.

"But you..." Old Mini wanted to question, but Li Yue was too lazy to listen.

"Relax, sleep... There's still work tomorrow."

Old Mini glanced at Li Yue sadly, and then looked at the 15 pairs of Mini-Me sleeping haphazardly under the red hourglass... thinking that this might be their last peaceful sleep.

Li Yue drifted away from the corner, past the sleeping Little Sweet Potatoes, past one "castle" after another built up by books, past the broken wall skin and the flickering lights, and back to the desk that was already like a "home."

Next to the table, Mini-Me was sleeping soundly and sweetly, drooling -- the fatigue of yesterday and today made the little guys unaware of the environment, and they didn't even feel Li Yue touching their heads.

Drifting out of the library hall along the shadows beside the wall, Li Yue slipped along the wall to the middle level of the library, and transformed into a skeleton soldier the moment he set foot on the middle level.

This skeleton soldier quietly stood guard outside Skolreg's "warning line," as if waiting for something.

If the Demon Illustrated Book was born on Skolreg's body, this Skeleton Prince would definitely suddenly discover... a line of information popping up in his mind.
