I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"Are you only lighting up Anchors?" Li Yue felt that Yingying's way of saying it was cooler than 'punctuation'.

"Yeah, that's right… Oh, right, what's 'cool'?" Yingying could hear Li Yue's thoughts and was a little curious about which was cooler, 'punctuation' or 'anchor'.

"Cool is a feeling… Like, if I add you, I can separate tentacles and threads to hit people, and even almost killed Jessie, that's cool," Li Yue gave a superficial explanation.

"Then you set fire to the people of Red Oil Town, and also locked the old lady and her three sons in the basement to torture them, that's all cool," Yingying directly applied.

Li Yue didn't expect Yingying to have such a deep impression of these few things.

"Not bad… Let's get back to you, what did you find?" Li Yue brought the topic back, feeling that it was good to have a demon by his side as a consultant.

At least it knew more about demons than he did, would notice some blind spots, and wouldn't let himself run around like a headless fly.

Even though it was just a child.

"Did you find it too?" As soon as Yingying opened her mouth, seeing Li Yue's attitude, she directly burrowed into his head and searched his mind.

"You found it too!" Yingying cheered.

"Yeah, it seems that in each punctuation… Anchor, there are some places we must go to," Li Yue nodded, "And there is a commonality in them."

"Source of Faith!" Yingying wrote a big-character poster.

"Right, White Paste." Li Yue discovered that ordinary streets could basically light up a glimmer of light just by passing by and taking a look, but wherever there was White Paste, it had to be opened…

This involved the logic of cheats… or maps, which was related to whether he could regain his memory, so Li Yue always kept this matter in mind.

"That's easy, later we just need to work hard to find the Source of Faith!" Yingying clapped her hands in Li Yue's mind.

"You asked yourself one less question… Why is it the Source of Faith?" Unlike Yingying, Li Yue didn't have much understanding of the basic existence of the continent, everything was very unfamiliar.

"The Source of Faith is distorted belief, everyone's understanding of faith is different, we must deconstruct their different structures and textures in order to light up the Anchor!" Yingying figured it out and quickly explained it to Li Yue.

"Deconstruct?" Li Yue was sure that this wasn't a word that a child should understand.

"Well, this is what the Shadow Demons say, I don't know what it's called in the Brain Spirit," Yingying nodded, "But I guess it should be the same kind of coolness, otherwise why would we be combined together?"

Li Yue recalled his experiences in Red Oil Town and the church several times, and inexplicably found that every time he came into contact with the Source of Faith, he seemed to be able to feel the thoughts of the people contaminated by the Source of Faith.

For example, those warriors in the cage all wanted to die, while those heretics in the cellar wanted to spread their faith.

The same as the New Church, but with different methods.

The perception of their emotions was also exceptionally strong, but he was not infected or affected, he just simply experienced it…

Perhaps it was due to some trait of the Brain Spirit?

"Now that you say that… I think… maybe we are complementary," Li Yue concluded, "You are deconstructing the structure and texture, and I am deconstructing their thoughts and emotions?"

"Deconstructing thoughts? To help them think?" As a Shadow Demon, Yingying found it difficult to understand Li Yue's words.

"I can't answer this question now," Li Yue shook his head, "Maybe we need more memories."

Li Yue thought of the feeling of being regarded as a god in Red Oil Town, and found that he might eventually return to the origin—he was a demon who was about to become a god?

I wonder what kind of memories are sealed in Liejin Mountain…

Thinking of this, Li Yue became more eager.

Although he was now completely targeted by the New Church, the Scavengers, and the Kingston family, the good news was that he had regained some of the abilities of his predecessor, and the process of lighting up the Anchors would inevitably become faster.

"Let's go!" Yingying sensed Li Yue's eagerness and dragged Li Yue into the soil.

The two of them moved rapidly underground.

Li Yue had to admit that Yingying's opening position on his skin was very precise, all existing on the back of the joints, such as the knee joints, elbow joints…

The tentacles could be freely extended without affecting the surface of the skin, like an underwater octopus, able to roam freely.

And in the following period of time, Li Yue discovered that the Scavengers and believers of the Five Towns of Liejin were searching for the Shadow Demon on a large scale.

This was directly reflected on the streets in the daytime and evening, the light of the church was everywhere.

Almost all the believers were mobilized, each with a light, constantly patrolling, changing angles, illuminating every inch of darkness in the Five Towns of Liejin, looking for the Shadow Demon, and also looking for the shadow of the demon.

But today was different from the past, Li Yue had X-ray vision, invisibility, tentacles, and the Shadow Demon's aversion to light… all of these could help Li Yue easily avoid the search of the New Church and the Scavengers.

Even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would not be able to find Don Quixote or Li's whereabouts, but instead, the Scavengers and the New Church discovered many hidden altars of the Masked Society.

Li Yue had seen most of these altars, but they didn't affect the Anchors, so he never explored them.

So in these few days, several conflicts broke out between the New Church and the heretics in the town, and the Five Towns were covered in blood…

Those faceless people who lived hidden among the people were successively discovered and then died in the encirclement.

People even gave this clearing action a name—the Unmasking Operation.

The "Unmasking Operation" was merged with the "Masked Society Incident" and quickly became a hot topic, becoming a major event within the scope of the Old Papal Court… that is, within the territory of the Empire's New Territory.

Together with the famine and riots in the west, it occupied a large amount of space in the Imperial Daily for many years.

This also led the Masked Society to hate the Shadow Demon who was stirring up trouble in Liejin Mountain, and it was said that two of the seven Supreme Masks were dispatched to Liejin Mountain to rectify the remaining believers.

Li Yue certainly knew what the Supreme Masks were, while Yingying said that this matter sounded pretty cool.

Soon, the Five Towns became much cleaner.

Those who should go to the arsenal to work went to work, those who joined the army joined the army, and the rest either fled to the Northern Tass Empire, or they were believers of the Empire's New Church…

If it weren't for the highly anticipated Bard Conference about to be held in Holy Mine Town, and there was a big excitement to watch, it was estimated that not many people would be left in the Five Towns of Liejin.

And the "Unmasking Operation" has not ended, and it seems that it will continue until the remnants of the Masked Society in the Five Towns are completely cleared.

People even forgot that this matter was caused by the Shadow Demon, but instead, they touched their faces when they met and greeted each other, to make sure that the other party was not a faceless person.

The Five Towns were in chaos, and in the midst of the chaos, everyone was looking forward to the opening of the Bard Conference, and also looking forward to the end of the "Unmasking Operation".

On this day, in the town hall of Holy Mine Town, Jessie was presenting a report.

The report was completed from the perspective of the Scavengers, recording the gains of the recent Unmasking Operation.

"Destroyed three altars… Captured 17 faceless people… Taken away by the New Church…"

"The emblem of the Demon King City 'Great Altar' was discovered again in the underground mine… Grass was found in the mine…"

"What do you think this represents?" Jessie looked up and asked a cluster of light in front of him.

A human face protruded from the light cluster.

The face of Wright Alexander.
