The gun barrel above his head exuded a chilling aura that spread from his forehead to his entire body, making Gulad feel somewhat apprehensive.
Gulaid paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know..."
"Don't know?" Lin Nai raised an eyebrow.
"Hehe, okay."
"Snap!"
Linnaeus's thumb pulled the hammer at the end of the Soul Chaser, chambering a bullet.
Gulad quickly replied, "I really don't know. It was my king who gave the order, and I was just following orders."
Lin Nai: "You're a demon descendant of the Myriad Manifestations level, you should hold a very high position among the vampires, right? How dare you say you know nothing?"
Gula gave a wry smile and said, "A Vampire of the Myriad Manifestations level is just a general, or to put it bluntly, a high-level warrior. As a vampire warrior, all I have to do is carry out the orders given to me by the 'King,' which you humans should be able to understand."
"Do you human warriors have the right to ask the higher-ups why they issue such strange and incomprehensible orders every time they do so?"
Lin Nai paused for a moment, then said, "Then tell me what you know."
"You demon races, haven't you always had a bad relationship with each other? For example, werewolves, didn't you consider each other mortal enemies? Why are you able to act together this time?"
Gula said helplessly, "I really don't know... I think they must have been acting on orders from their 'king'."
A moment of silence.
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes: "Wan'er, do a test and see if he's lying."
"Okay." Night walked over, clasped her hands together, rubbed out a ball of black light, and then put the ball of black light into Gulad's head.
A few seconds passed.
The girl hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lin Nai and said, "Brother Lin Nai, he's lying."
Gulad: "..."
Lin Nai sneered: "Heh, not bad, not bad, you've got some nerve."
He placed the gun barrel next to Goulart's ear.
Then he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
"ah--!!!"
Gulad wailed in agony, one of his pointed ears having vanished completely.
"You...you ruined my most beautiful ears!!!"
"You despicable human being!!!"
Linna had long heard that vampires were extremely obsessed with appearances and hated ugly things, especially disfiguring themselves. Now it seemed that the rumor was indeed true.
Linna pressed the gun against his head again: "Stop babbling, I'll give you one more chance."
"If you dare lie again, you'll lose your other ear too. And see that scythe over there? I'll use it to carve the words 'Ugly Bitch' into your face, then shoot you dead. After you die, I'll find a werewolf and kill it, burying you face-to-face, so you can rest in peace together. After you die, I'll harvest your spirit, subjecting you to imprisonment in the Sea of the Dead, making you dance in a werewolf suit every day, and summoning all your fellow undead prisoners to watch, and then..."
Gulad: "..."
Night, Sherry, and Jill: "......"
Although they didn't understand some parts of it...
But just hearing it sounds so malicious...
Gulad understood perfectly, so his face paled in horror, and his voice trembled as he cried out, "You...you...you despicable human!! You are so wicked!! You are the most wicked creature I have ever seen in my life!!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Linnaeus gently tapped the muzzle of his gun against his head. "You still have a chance to tell the truth. Make your own choice."
“I…” Gulad swallowed hard. “All I know is that three years ago, one day, my ‘King,’ who is also the ruler of our demon-blooded clan, suddenly received a letter…”
"A letter?" Linna raised an eyebrow. "Whose letter is it?"
“I don’t know,” Gulad said. “I do know that when the king saw the letter, his face was paler than I had ever seen before. It was the first time I had ever seen him so terrified. His hands trembled so much that the letter fell to the ground.”
Linna narrowed her eyes and murmured, "The thing that terrifies your vampire king..."
"What is the strength level of your vampire king?"
Gulad answered honestly, "Lord-level, eighth realm."
Nightfall frowned: "What could be something that could frighten a demon descendant at the eighth level of the lord realm?"
Linnaeus hesitated for a moment, then continued his interrogation: "Did your king ever have anything, anyone, or thing that he was particularly afraid of?"
“Yes,” Gulad said. “Three hundred thousand years ago, when the civilization of the gods was still intact, the king was particularly afraid of the gods. After all, they were the strongest race among all the civilizations on Earth. For hundreds of millions of years, Earth had been superior to our demon race. Even now, three hundred thousand years after their extinction, other demon races have not caught up with the civilization of the gods back then.”
Linnaeus thought to himself, but the civilization of the gods is no more now.
What, besides the gods, could possibly instill fear in a powerful demon of lord-level strength?
"So, after receiving that letter, your king issued orders to you to join forces with other demon races to attack the human plane?"
Linna asked, frowning.
Goulard replied, "Yes, more or less..."
Night immediately used her magic to examine Gulad's brain, and then said to Linnaeus, "He didn't lie."
Linnai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Why did so many of you demonic creatures converge on the capital last night? It was like a great migration?"
"I don't know..." Gulad paused, then quickly added, "I really don't know! It's an order from above, to have us stand by near the capital!"

I probably won't be able to update until very, very late tonight... Everyone go to sleep first... (I reckon I'll be writing all night, ahhhhhhh...)
