"Logically speaking, most demons in this world are accompanied by strong feelings of destruction and revenge after they are formed. But the demon in Shijia Village is different. The travelogue it merged with had a timid protagonist, which made it timid too, and it didn't dare to run out of the book at all."
"I see. No wonder it's so timid. I couldn't bear to eat this little snack." Yu Luo stroked her chin thoughtfully.
…
Below the ancestral hall in Shijia Village.
Xiao Hui covered one eye and nervously recounted, "I was living peacefully in my own home when a man named Shi Gao suddenly bought me and brought me home."
“I saw that he had been taking the exam for so many years without success, and he was being scolded at home all day and disliked by his wife. Seeing that those kids were also looking worried, I couldn’t help but lend a hand.”
"Later, he achieved his goal and became the top scholar. I thought that was the end of it, but who knew that he would find an exceptionally capable person to pull me out of the book and make me help more people achieve fame and success!"
"How could I possibly have that ability? I'm just a minor demon. Helping him become the top scholar has already weakened me greatly!"
"You all know what happened next. They brought in many human children and made me devour humans to become stronger."
At this point, the little dumpling almost cried.
"Waaaaah, humans are so scary! I told them I didn't want to eat them, but they still ate me!"
"I used to be this big!" The little gray ball of fluff gestured a large circle with its tiny hands.
"They ate them all. After they ate them, they gained some of my abilities. I really didn't eat you, waaaah!"
Lin Anniang, who had just arrived: "..."
Who would have thought that this evil spirit would be so unique?
"No wonder those people could release black energy; they must possess some demonic abilities," Zhang Yao thought to herself.
"Luckily, they were all flooded, otherwise they might have been ambushed."
“That’s not right either.” Xia Yan and the others picked up the group of children, their voices firm.
“These children told me that they were all sent here by the Master to give you food. If you don’t eat, what’s wrong with these children?”
The little gray ball of fluff felt even more aggrieved: "That's because I've been almost completely eaten, leaving only a part of my body. I can't provide them with any power, so those people wanted me to devour humans to increase my abilities. I really didn't want to! You humans are so scary!"
"After you obtained my power, you actually ate your own kind!"
Everyone: "..."
So this mission isn't about saving humanity, it's about saving demons.
"In that case, you may leave with us." Even Lin Anniang sighed.
Everyone thought that there would be a big battle after arriving in Shijia Village, after all, the evil spirit in the shadows was too good at hiding and was more cunning than humans.
Who knew that everything was actually the fault of the humans? It turned out they had wronged the little demon.
"No, no, no, you're too scary, I won't go with you!" The little gray ball trembled.
It only has this small part of its body left. If it's gone, then it's really gone!
