Chapter 218 Dekan’s Great Mercy
Inside the interrogation room.
“Lars… I don’t have the confidence. Could you please give me a demonstration?”
Dekan averted his gaze uncomfortably, appearing rather delicate and timid as he spoke.
His expression seemed to betray the truth that he was not very skilled in interrogation.
“Hmph, then watch carefully, because I’m only going to teach you once.”
Lars turned around, a barely perceptible sneer crossing his face as he spoke.
Although the little succubus hadn’t fallen into the trap,
It was clear that she wasn’t suited for this kind of work.
Even without tricking her, she’d undoubtedly become a prisoner within a few days.
At the thought of being able to thoroughly enjoy this unique little succubus, Lars felt an overwhelming anticipation well up inside him.
As Lars thought about this,
He approached the elderly human scholar who had been captured.
Then, he began a process of torturing and treating the prisoner.
This caused Dekan to look away in obvious distress.
The scene became quite bloody at times, and the live-action version of our world had to blur these parts.
“Why doesn’t Dekan simply intervene and claim the 210 points?”
“Is he feeling pity for the old scholar?”
“One of the principles when navigating the Shadow World is to not care about the indigenous people when necessary, otherwise it will cause greater losses. Surely Dekan wouldn’t make such a mistake!”
There was a challenger in the past who couldn’t bear to sacrifice the native people of the Shadow World. They even developed feelings for them, couldn’t let them go, and ultimately made a wrong decision that led to the Shadow World’s failure and triggered a calamity in the real world.
Even though Dekan hadn’t challenged the Shadow World many times, the long-time audience knows for sure that Dekan was always decisive, and it was impossible for him to be held back by such things.
This guy was definitely thinking about something beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
“Wait a moment, what’s Dekan’s reaction?”
“Are you kidding me…?”
The onlookers in the real world actually noticed.
Dekan seemed to be trembling in fear from the brutality of the torture!
His expression was like that of a young girl on the battlefield.
“You’re pretending, right! Do you think we haven’t seen how you operate before?!”
Seeing Dekan’s condition, one of the viewers couldn’t keep their cool any longer.
It was unclear which nerve of his had gone haywire!
He neither followed the rules of the Shadow World,
Nor did he save people.
He also didn’t deal with the demons.
Instead, he started crying here!
…
“Sniff sniff, he’s so pitiful.”
Dekan wiped his face with both hands, tears streaming down his cheeks.
His sobbing voice was filled with heartbreak.
Though Dekan had never acted as a woman,
He had seen many young girls cry.
Like Alice, or the Ice Snow Princess, their cries were always touching.
And he had also witnessed Tarta’s scared expression.
That was precisely how he looked at this moment.
So Dekan understood how to accurately portray himself in his current situation.
“You…”
Lars heard the sobs and turned his head, looking at Dekan with a hint of disbelief.
Was there something wrong with this little succubus’s brain?
Could it truly be that naive?
What nonsense!
A demon like that doesn’t exist in this world!
Not only Lars, but the old scholar covered in blood also tried to shift his hazy gaze onto the crying demon.
It was too strange.
It was clear he couldn’t comprehend the situation either.
“So, what exactly is wrong with you?”
Lars stared at Dekan intently, his suspicion growing.
Is it possible that this little succubus didn’t even graduate from the Demon Academy?
Maybe he just got in through connections?
But even if he got into the prison by connections, isn’t that the same as walking to his death?
The little succubus sobbed a bit more, then wiped away his tears,
Attempting to stop himself from crying.
The little succubus fixed his gaze on the old scholar’s pitiful state, and then his eyes shifted to Lars.
“I, I can no longer endure your cruel actions!”
The little succubus’s eyes became increasingly firm, as if a spark of anger was starting to ignite deep within his fragile inner self.
By the time Lars was flooded with countless questions.
“You cruel demon! You’ve hurt me!”
Dekan shouted out his timeless, unreasonable declaration.
Right away, his sixty times pain reflection set appeared.
Lars instantly clutched at his chest and kneeled down.
His face full of terror, blood started to well up from the corners of his mouth.
“This… what on earth is happening?!”
Lars was very sure.
Not only was he injured, but also, he had lost half of his demon points!
The 1200 Demon Points he originally possessed plummeted to 600 instantly!
According to the rules of the first floor of the prison,
There was only one situation that would result in the deduction of half of one’s demon points,
And that was attacking another prison guard!
But Lars had done nothing but interrogate the prisoner previously!
He hadn’t done anything to the little succubus!
“Hmm… hmm…”
Looking at Lars’s incredible expression, Dekan couldn’t help but cover his mouth and burst into a delightful laugh, losing all traces of his earlier tenderness.
He looked devilishly charming at the moment, like a little succubus letting out his natural side.
“!”
But suddenly, Dekan realized that although his experiment was successful, he couldn’t reveal his real face!
He’s still trying to accumulate merit!
He quickly suppressed his urge to laugh out loud, coughed lightly a few times,
And restored his original, dignified appearance.
Watching this transformation, Lars was stunned.
He felt this little succubus was beyond strange.
In that instant just now, his true nature was completely exposed, why bother pretending anymore?
He must be suffering from some serious illness!!
A freaking psycho!!
Now, Lars was also very acutely aware that his situation might not be good.
Because this little succubus was much more terrifying than he imagined!
“I didn’t do anything to you! Why would it be considered an active attack against me? And why am I the one getting injured?!”
Lars screamed in agony.
Although he wanted to kill this little succubus without any hesitation right now,
His survival instinct told him that there was great danger ahead!
If he couldn’t kill her in a few moves, he would lose his status as a prison guard!
“You hurt my feelings.”
“I am kind-hearted. I love humans. Watching you torture humans is causing me unbearable pain.”
“You must have felt my heartbreak just now.”
Dekan expressed himself with a compassionate and merciful look.
On his way to the interrogation room, he had tested the logical determination of the Demon Bracelet.
Skilled in magic engineering, especially the principles of demon magic, Dekan quickly examined the Demon Bracelet.
Though he couldn’t edit its program due to the excessively high rank of its creator,
Checking its basic spell logic was still manageable.
The method of judgment for the Demon Bracelet’s attack was based on damage and pain.
For instance,
A normal pat on the back wouldn’t be considered an attack.
However, if it was too hard, causing pain or injury, it would definitely be judged as an attack.
Theoretically,
Even if the pain of heartbreak made you feel as though your heart was breaking, it should be quite difficult for it to reach the standard for an attack judgment.
But Dekan’s pain enhancement components allowed the suffering he endured to increase sixfold.
He was genuinely in excruciating pain, to the point where his heart was aching.
Thus, he successfully triggered the judgment that Lars had attacked Dekan and deducted Lars’s Demon Points.
