I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

More serious?

Now it's just sporadically stuffing in small bits of knowledge; will it directly cram knowledge in the future, bursting us?

Li Yue didn't know how accurate Scholar Tom was, but under the current circumstances, he could only speculate to this extent.

Deconstructing Tom's body, Li Yue even felt that his head was bigger than when he left the city, but now Li Yue was a shadow body, unable to make an accurate comparison.

"Then I still need to assess the uncontrolled situation of the library," Li Yue discussed with Tom, "Will these extra inexplicable knowledge damage the library? To what extent will it be damaged?"

"According to your statement, the loss of control may intensify. How much time do we have left?"

"Judging from the current situation, it won't endanger the library in the short term." Tom flipped through the pages, arriving at the pages recording the library's current state.

"First of all, the most vulnerable demons in the library are the Brain Spirits, but the Brain Spirits can be resurrected, so as long as you… as long as Egg doesn't die, other demons' physiques won't be in too much danger."

Li Yue savored it and understood that the guy most likely to die from knowledge overload was his Brain Spirit body.

"Moreover, the content of the knowledge doesn't involve any taboos yet; they are just common sense, relatively safe." Tom connected his pituitary gland to Egg's pituitary gland, listening to and surveying the voices of the demons in the library, "Currently, these demons are only sporadically stuffed with a little bit each day, not enough to cause drastic changes…"

"Overall, the emergence of inexplicable knowledge is more beneficial than harmful at this stage." Tom showed a look of craving for knowledge, "But we still need to monitor, count, sort out, and summarize in a timely manner every day… to find the patterns and intervene in time."

"How to control the library's loss of control and guide it in the direction the master expects?" Tom wrote down small notes, "This will be one of my future课题."

"What I can do now… is to use your words to require all the demons in the library to connect to the monitoring network with their pituitary glands every day and update their 'knowledge'." Tom gave a suggestion first.

"After they are all proficient, they will be able to distinguish which 'knowledge' they shouldn't know, helping me complete the statistics and summaries…" Tom muttered, and Li Yue understood his meaning.

Tom wanted to collect all the inexplicable knowledge into his own head, summarize and learn it.

The true colors of a scholar.

However, Li Yue wasn't worried that Tom would rebel against him after learning too much—the contract had already been signed. If it could be overturned so easily, Buddy Budge wouldn't have been forced to the arena by Oogie Boogie.

Those were two Lords of Authority.

"Then eat more brain-bark walnuts; don't die." Li Yue patted Tom's shoulder with his shadow.

Li Yue's control over the shadow became more proficient.

"I understand." Tom nodded and smiled, becoming more and more like a wise scholar.

Li Yue had even forgotten the cramped and uneasy look of the blond boy who cleaned up excrement and urine and looked for a way out back then.

"It's just that a situation may arise in the future, that is, my brain's computing power is insufficient…"

"What should we do then?"

"I'm still thinking." Tom scratched his messy blond hair, "The first method is to gather some Brain Spirits specifically for knowledge storage…"

"But it's complicated to operate, and it's difficult to recover once it's burned or destroyed."

"And the second method… is more feasible. When that day comes, maybe I can find a way to merge with you, which would be more convenient."

After becoming a scholar, Tom was willing to give up his life for knowledge?

Li Yue was greatly shocked and speechless.

"Alright, my master, if there's nothing else, I think I need to study Hellfire." Tom closed the book and pointed to the laboratory behind him.

"Didn't you say it was almost done? Still studying?" Li Yue was certainly concerned about when he would have the key to assassinating Oogie Boogie, but the sudden arrival of knowledge made him even more worried.

"Having gained new knowledge and inspiration… I have some new ideas about Hellfire that need to be verified." Tom tucked away the book and was about to leave, then suddenly remembered something, "And… if you want to use Hellfire to injure Oogie Boogie, please prepare at least one fresh Gluttony Fly, or a bag of Oogie Boogie that still has activity."

"It's needed when using the Law of Retribution. Don't prepare Hellfire but not have a Gluttony Fly." Tom left Li Yue with homework and slowly left.

Gluttony Fly…

Li Yue thought that there was already a plague over in Snow Country, wasn't there? Gluttony Flies shouldn't be hard to find, right?

He could ask Jessie first. If she couldn't get it, it wouldn't be a big problem to personally go to Snow Country when he had time—anyway, Li Yue was a shadow now. After mastering the 'Shadow Flash' displacement method, it would be very convenient to go and return quickly.

Of course, it would be best if the counter-offensive lines of the Seven Rivers and the Tass Empire crossed Low Mountain, so the route north should be quieter.

Otherwise, encountering the Seven Rivers again would be troublesome.

He didn't know where this 9th-tier Archmage's troops had pushed to? When would they attack the city?

Deconstructing, changing bodies, processing knowledge, locating Oogie Boogie, finding Gluttony Flies, and ensuring the safety of the library when the Seven Rivers arrive…

Having just returned to the library, Li Yue's schedule was filled again, and he could only deal with things one by one.

After thinking it over, Li Yue decided to say hello to Copper Spoon first, telling him how to use the Icefire Wheel and the Demon Ribbon, and by the way, send the parts collected along the way into the dwarves' workshop.

But before Li Yue could move, the door of the Great Library slammed open, and Copper Spoon pushed his way in.

"I heard you're back. I have something to ask you…" Although Copper Spoon was short, he walked with a vigorous air.

"Why are you frowning? Does someone owe you money?" Seeing Li Yue's worries darkening him from face to toe, Copper Spoon frowned.

"Fortunately, I have good news to tell you…" Copper Spoon patted his belly.

"I've already completed the magic cannon, and I've also developed several new armed creations for the library. Do you want to inspect them?"

Li Yue perked up when he heard that.

"Completed it? What do you mean? You can build a magic cannon?" Li Yue quickly got up.

"Fire! Fire!" Egg had been silent for a long time, and finally became active again when he heard there was a magic cannon to play with.

But it forgot that with its Brain Spirit body, it couldn't enjoy the fun of being shot out to block cannonballs for the time being—that became Shadow's expectation.

"And… what are the new weapons you mentioned? Tanks?" Li Yue still remembered the dwarven tank he encountered at Copper Spoon's skillful hands. There seemed to be upgraded versions in the library's workshop.

Could it be that Copper Spoon had mastered the technology of bone carriages and magic cannons, creating even more brutal creations?

"It's hard to say. Come on, let me inspect it for you." Copper Spoon didn't explain a word, snapped his fingers, and opened the conveyor belt of the Great Library, sending the three Demon Sons and the dwarf to the Bone Room reception hall.

After Li Yue, Shadow, and Egg were seated on the Bone Throne, Copper Spoon cleared his throat and connected his pituitary gland to the wall.

In a daze, Li Yue couldn't tell whether this scene was somewhat cyberpunk or somewhat magical.

The conveyor belt began to turn.

"Use your eyes… oh, no, use your senses to watch…" Copper Spoon didn't seem to have rested well recently, and his face was a little haggard and dim, but the excitement in his eyes was real.

"The first creation, Brain-0 Prototype…"
