Male Succubus Apocalypse

Chapter 23 Black Market

"So, Boss Xu, are you and your employees on a brotherly basis?"

"Almost. We are a family. You should know from Soma that we are not of high status, so we can only unite as one. Even if we are not absolutely blood-related, we are better than brothers."

In public, Xu Heng couldn't say "male succubus" openly, so he could only be more subtle.

After coaxing Kevin into submission in the alley, Clara invited him to sit in a high-end-looking cafe to chat.

Clara was indeed very curious about Xu Heng, so she would naturally learn from Soma what kind of a "male succubus" was - hey, anything that was talked about as a succubus wouldn't be considered a succubus anymore.

Succubus is usually synonymous with "cunning" and "charm", but according to Soma, male succubus are just a group of low-level losers in the abyss, with no special abilities - which is also the reason why they are not understood - and they are not strong themselves.

They are used to being slaves. Even if they had the ferocity of a devil before, they are now castrated roosters. Not to mention that humans are afraid of them, it’s good enough that they are not afraid of humans.

Anyway, it was devalued to nothing.

So in Clara's eyes, Xu Heng is now considered a harmless and biodegradable "garbage monster".

"We reach maturity at the age of 40. My brother is now roughly equivalent to the age of 11 or 12 in your human age. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you by crying just now." Xu Heng smiled awkwardly. Kevin next to him had already started drinking hot cocoa.

"No, it's hard for you to take care of a group of younger brothers. It's not easy to go out and play on weekends. How about I be your guide? I know some good places to take children to play." Clara expressed her understanding.

"Aren't you aware of my identity as a devil? I was so scared when you came here that night. I didn't expect that Soma had seen through me." Although Xu Heng had already sensed that Clara had no ill will towards him, he still wanted to test her.

As Julie said, he couldn't read people's minds and could only use this clumsy ability.

"No, after your teaching, I feel that I should not always judge character by race. Although it is impossible for me to see through your good and evil, the wisdom you possess is real. Firstly, you have not committed any crime, and secondly, you have taught me, so you are my benefactor. Why would I resist a benefactor?" Clara shook her head and answered respectfully.

"Okay, then I feel relieved. Can I make an excessive request? I'll let you take Kavin out to play for a while, okay? I have to rush to buy ingredients for the weekend, I don't have many friends here..." Xu Heng said, his voice getting lower and lower. He looked very unsure, but it was actually a performance, because his ability to perceive had already told him Clara's answer.

"Are we friends, Boss Xu Heng?" Clara said with some surprise, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"Of course. You are both my teacher and my friend. I think you are the only one I can trust. You are a person who is willing to explore the truth and the essence. Just like you said yourself, your wisdom is real. I think people like you can't be bad." Xu Heng also pressed his lips and began his own way of fooling people, praising and complimenting Clara, which made her very happy.

"Okay! Go ahead and do the shopping! I'll take care of Kevin!" Clara patted her chest, stood up excitedly, and said with assurance.

Under the table, Kevin was trying to stealthily grab the corner of Xu Heng's clothes.

Xu Heng kept smiling and suddenly hugged Kawen, "Then brother, just play well with sister Clara!" Then he lowered his voice and whispered, "This is a punishment for you, but it's not really a punishment. Just be happy and have fun. Clara is a good person."

Then he stood up, nodded slightly to Clara, and said, "Thank you so much!" Then he quickly walked out of the store, leaving the excited Clara and the frightened Kevin staring at each other.

……

After going out and doing all this, it was already afternoon. Xu Heng walked around for a long time before he stopped.

"Okay, Clara has been fooled by you, but if you leave my younger brother to her, aren't you afraid that she will use it as an excuse to find out about you?"

Julie took advantage of the short position and spoke out.

"Don't worry, she's a silly girl with a strong sense of justice. She won't ask about anything messy. Besides, Kaven's mouth is not as loose as you think. It's great to solve two problems at once!"

"Tsk, if they heard what you said, it would be very hurtful. I admire your ability to live with a mask on all the time."

"Who cares? A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. I have a clear conscience about my actions. Hurry up and lead the way to the black market!"

"Are you anxious now? I think you are afraid of running into someone again."

"Yes, yes, please lead the way! Psychic Insight Master!"

Facing Julie, who didn't need to be on guard, Xu Heng finally relaxed completely, chatted with her, and spoke his true feelings - really, speaking in one's mind, isn't that what one is speaking in one's heart?

Although Julie has no strength now, she can track down the dead energy just like a dog looking for shit, she can find it right after smelling it - after Xu Heng said this metaphor, Julie kept barking in her mind for a long time.

Following Julie's navigation, Xu Heng walked all the way from the city center to the suburbs. Fortunately, he did not meet any of the eight male demons along the way. He was also afraid that they would do something illegal, and he could not just sit there and watch.

Even if you did it, you can't be as stupid as Kevin. When walking on the street, other people are still smart.

As he walked, Xu Heng didn't know where he was. This place was different from any other place in Jincheng, it was very desolate and there were very few people.

If it weren't for Julie's navigation, Xu Heng wouldn't have known that after passing through a narrow alley, there was an old street behind it. The buildings were very old and there were shops on both sides, but the decorations were very simple, giving Xu Heng a desolate feeling.

The emotions perceived are also very faint, as if it is a gray emotional world.

"You're being followed. That's great. Kill him and take his memory. Then you can learn about the black market. This will be your first time practicing it."

"I know, his emotions are obvious, but can I kill people casually? Like you?"

"Are you still a demon? You are the shame of succubi! Not only are you a novice! You are so slow to kill people!"

"You! How do you know? Damn!"

"I just know it! Hurry up and take the opportunity to go back to the alley! Otherwise, you will miss the chance! His death energy is almost substantial, at least a dozen lives have been lost, killing him is the way to do justice, okay!"

After hearing what Julie said, Xu Heng's brain became filled with blood. Holding his anger, he rushed back to the alley.

"Hehe, you've walked into a trap!" I saw a dark shadow hiding in the alley, with bloodthirsty eyes like a ferocious wolf.

"Level five, human warrior..." The slime on his body automatically conveyed the information to Xu Heng.

"You are really tired of living!" Xu Heng twisted his neck and was about to raise his hand to cast a soul spell - with Julie as an aid, he could cast a simple soul spell instantly.

But the most convenient way for him was to throw Julie directly out of the space ring.

He had been thinking hard about this trick for a long time, preparing it as a killer move, but now he was a little angry, so he showed it to Julie!

Because Julie's soul is bound to him, he can provide her with soul resistance. Julie is disabled, not dead, and the laws still exist.

It was probably through Julie that Xu Heng was able to perform the soul collision.

"Xu Heng! You bastard!"

Julie cursed in Xu Heng's mind.

"Go ahead! It's decided to be you! Juliemon! ... No, Soul Weaver! Go ahead!"

Then, out of the darkness, a glass was thrown out by Xu Heng.

But in a second, the shadow was not hit. It was not that the villain snatched it away skillfully, but it made a "hum" sound, as if it was pulled to another place by something.

It seemed as if this person's emotions were disappearing, and a new kind of calmness was emerging.

The ability to visualize was immediately activated. Seeing this, Xu Heng quickly communicated with Julie through his soul: "Stop fighting! Come back quickly! It's Aaron's bodyguard! If you hit him later, he will kill both you and me! One body, two lives!"

"What the hell? Oh my god, is the Lorist kid so good at hiding?!"

In fact, people from the other world don't know how to say "what the hell" and "oh my god". Now that Julie has been hanging out with Xu Heng for a long time, she has learned his catchphrases from his original world.

The cup in the air suddenly braked, leaving a reflection in the darkness, and flew back into Xu Heng's space ring.

I saw a big wolf dog (the embodiment of the soul) walking out of the darkness. I saw clearly that it was the man in black: "Sir Xu Heng, I'm sorry to have frightened you!"

"You are very responsible. You were there the whole time, weren't you?" Xu Heng scratched his head and asked.

The poor guy who was following and trying to intercept him probably didn't even know how he died. Being killed by the men in black was like crushing an ant.

Oh wow, Wolfmon!——Xu Heng feels like a Pokémon master.

The man in black didn't speak, didn't answer, just remained silent.

The silence made Xu Heng feel that the person standing in front of him was a dead object.

"He is ruthless and has no desires. He doesn't emit any death energy, and he hides his murderous intentions. The bodyguard Aaron assigned to you is pretty good!" Julie commented. "If it was him who wanted to kill you, you would have been dead on the street long ago, and your slime probably wouldn't be able to react quickly enough."

Julie's comment made Xu Heng break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she was a friendly party!

"What's the use of me having you? Didn't I ask you to give an evaluation? Can't you even detect the legendary ultimate wizard?" Xu Heng mocked Julie in his mind.

"Xu Heng, don't go too far! I am just a remnant soul now! Do you understand, remnant soul?"

"Hey, hey, you damn remnant soul, no means no!"

After teasing Julie, Xu Heng ignored her scolding and turned back to deal with the man in black.

"Forget it, thank you." Xu Heng felt a little helpless. He left after saying this and planned to turn around and leave. What made him helpless was not just that the man in black was still following him, but also that he seemed to have no way to deal with him and could not get rid of him.

Finally, someone spoke from behind: "Sir Xu Heng, the front... is quite dangerous."

"Aren't you still in danger? And it seems you've been here before, so lead the way for me!"

“…Maybe you will be unhappy…”

"Unhappy? There's nothing to be unhappy about. Don't stay in the alley. Let's go together. By the way, I don't think I asked your name yet."

"Well... the villain's name is Quesus Lorist."

Quess was also happy. After hearing Xu Heng's words, he walked out. After the change between light and darkness, Xu Heng suddenly found that the man in black was very strong and almost a head taller than himself.

"If I want to buy some corpses, which way should I go?" Xu Heng walked side by side with the man in black and said to him while looking up at him.

The man in black wisely hunched over and said without any emotion: "Over there...", pointing in a direction.

Such a gentle movement was so hurtful. Xu Heng said speechlessly: "Don't hunch over! Stand up straight! Over there, right? Okay..."

Xu Heng didn't need to hide anything from Aaron's people. They all knew that he was Vivian's man anyway, and it was none of their business what kind of magic he learned. He was one of theirs.

Vivian dared to teach him to learn necromancy, so she probably had no objection, and Xu Heng would not be afraid.

"Don't listen to this big idiot. The death energy on the other side is stronger. Go that way! I think he wants to lead you away!"

Julie yelled when Xu Heng was about to move.

"Wait, I think it's better to go that way!" Xu Heng changed the subject and walked in the opposite direction. At this time, although the black-clothed man's appearance and movements did not change at all - his expression could not be seen because he was masked - Xu Heng sensed that his calm emotions had fluctuated.

It was worry, but not the intense, nervous worry that one feels as if facing a great enemy. It was probably worry that Xu Heng might encounter a bad scene, similar to the worry of parents taking their kids to the movies and being afraid that there might be kissing scenes.

What's going on? Is Aaron dancing in some strip club over there? - The old man is really good at it!

Xu Heng and the man in black walked to the door of a dilapidated "Danni Tavern". The main entrance was a large iron gate and it seemed that it was not open to the public.

After taking a look at Quessus, Quessus knew what Xu Heng meant. He walked up to the door and knocked twice, saying, "Blind dog, I'm Yinghu, open the door quickly!"

After saying that, a rectangular gate was opened in the iron gate at a height of half Xu Heng's head, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes without black spots. He looked at Xu Heng and Quess - it was unknown whether he could see them or not.

"Sixth-level human warrior..." the slime sent a message.

All right, these gatekeepers are all level six!

When the gate was closed again, the iron door was opened, revealing a passage that was only dimly illuminated by a dim oil lamp.

Xu Heng walked in and looked at the guy at the door curiously. It was a fat man sitting on a chair. The lower half of his face must have been cut off and replaced with an iron mouth and iron chin.

The muscles on his hands looked like crawling earthworms, and he looked very powerful. There was a big axe next to him, and there was a faint trace of blood.

"Yinghu, are you bringing a kitten here to die?" The fat man called Blind Dog laughed with his iron teeth clenched up and down, and his words came out in a hoarse voice as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat for hundreds of years.

After saying this, Quessus paused, turned his head slightly, and glared at the blind dog for a while. When the blind dog turned its head away in fear, Quessus said coldly: "If you don't want to shut up forever, don't let me hear another word."

Woohoo! So domineering! Gangster boss!

Xu Heng found it interesting, and then he also learned to glare at the blind dog, and then walked forward arrogantly.

"Where is this place?" Xu Heng asked as he walked.

"Sir, this is a death arena, a place where desperate criminals fight each other, and it also has a casino." Quessus' attitude was completely different from before, and he answered in an exceptionally docile and respectful manner.

"There will be a lot of corpses, too? And the gatekeepers all know you, so you must be the victorious general here, right? How about telling me about it?" Xu Heng was happy to listen to gossip, so he asked hurriedly, but he still added, "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"No... Here, the system is based on five games to a round. You have to kill five people before you can leave the game. There are masters of all levels, from low to high. Those above level six are the most popular with the audience. I have played three level seven deathmatches in total." Quessus' voice was still calm, and he introduced in a very organized manner, but the information contained in it was shocking.

In other words, he had the lives of at least fifteen seventh-level warriors on his hands.

The most important thing is not Quessus’s record, but the fact that this death arena can summon so many seventh-level warriors! If one person kills at least five people at the beginning, then in order to match them, at least twenty-five seventh-level warriors need to be prepared.

The power behind this Dany Tavern cannot be underestimated!

"So you played these three games...how many years did they span?"

"Seventy years..."

Alas! Fortunately, I thought it would take a month! The ability of Dany's tavern is acceptable!

The corridor disappeared to the end. Quesus suddenly paused and said inexplicably: "Sir, are you sure you want to go in? It might make you very angry."

"Go in, even if I go in I still have to pick up the corpses, why would I be angry?" Xu Heng was puzzled.

Since Xu Heng was so sure, Quessus did not stop him and led Xu Heng around a corner, where noise and clamor followed.

In front of them was an observation deck of the Roman Colosseum, with Xu Heng and Quessus standing at the highest point.

Judging from the minimum diameter of the inner area of ​​the arena, it is estimated to be about fifty meters. There are five large square iron cages inside, and two people are fighting in each cage.

"Today is the Bronze Level Special (Level 1 to 3), you..." Quessus introduced, but there was no sound next to him.

Xu Heng felt as if he was poured with cement, his whole body pressed down and unable to move. He just stared at the figure fighting hard in an iron cage in the arena.

"Julie, do demons have a rebellious period?"
