Chapter 34 Chapter 34 - His dear brother, this...
Why can't the assets she "earned" through hard work and ability become her support and allow her to use them to her heart's content when facing difficulties?
Lin Miao pulled the quilt over her and touched the lace-trimmed dress designed overnight by Mr. Devil. She then took out a storage ring from a hidden pocket.
The storage ring was given to her by Errol before she boarded the carriage. It contained the welcome gift from the three demons of hell, the scales of the three-headed dog, the feathers of her dear employer, and some other things she thought might come in handy.
She recited the incantation silently, and Beelzebub's crystal ball appeared in her hand.
"I want to know where the most important thing in Capet Manor is."
The searching ball was immediately filled with mist, but after a moment it was empty.
Lin Miao stroked the sphere for a moment before changing the question: "So, what about the things that Thistis Capet regularly inspects, things that are closely related to the Capet family... no, to her own life or fate?"
This time, the crystal ball erupted with a burst of golden light from behind the mist. However, as the light gradually faded, nothing happened within the ball.
Lin Miao put the locating ball back into the ring without feeling too disappointed.
The more abstract and broad the concept, the harder it is to make it work. It's like asking it where the devil might have left something, and it will definitely go on strike. Otherwise, Beelzebub would have gotten the clue long ago, so what would she and the three-headed dog have to do with it?
She dug out a few sheets of paper and a quill from the drawer of her desk. Using a modern language completely different from the universal language of this world, she scribbled down the oddities of Capet Manor, numbering them and adding her bold hypotheses and carefully verified plans.
He also drew up a feasible plan on how to approach the secrets after entering the palace and investigate the clues left over from a hundred years ago. The plan had clear logic and rich imagination...
Then, Lin Miao wrote down the three names, Reese, Errol, and Anwei, in order. He put three dots of ink under "Reese", passed over "Erol", circled the last "Anwei" with a heavy stroke, and put a question mark next to it.
She was very glad that during this period, the Capet family, for some unknown reason, tacitly chose to ignore their new little daughter.
With no one disturbing him, Lin Miao's inspiration flowed freely, and he could write with divine inspiration.
After carefully reading through the entire written content, she folded the paper and threw it into the storage ring, then stood up and walked to the tiny window.
Unlike the long days in heaven, nor the eternal nights in hell, the human world on the Holy Continent is just like the Earth where she lived before, with the alternation of day and night, the rising of the sun and the setting of the moon, and the rotation of life and death.
Lin Miao held her chin with one hand, watching the sunset sink to the junction of the mountains and the horizon. With the other hand, she deftly played with the inky jade scales, and a hint of coolness permeated her palm.
It's getting night.
——Look at what her “assets” are doing, it makes sense.
She hesitated for a few seconds, wanting to call out Errol's name to the scales, but the flower mark on her wrist began to burn at that moment.
Lin Miao paused, pulled up his sleeves, and the originally black mark melted into a fiery red, and the petals of the mandala slowly bloomed.
Red magic power burst out from the pistil, rolled in the air, and soon materialized into a little man the size of a palm.
A black and red high ponytail, round cheeks, big blood-red eyes, a proportionally scaled-down collar and sash...
...I was so excited that I saw the Q version of the three-headed dog in human form.
Lin Miao's eyes flashed with an intense and fanatical light. In line with the principle of being cautious and respectful to the end, she asked politely, "Is it Lord Errol?"
The Q-version figure rolled his eyes in annoyance upon hearing this, his speechless expression mirroring that of the character. "What else?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Miao made a move at lightning speed, picked up the little devil and started rubbing it!
Still not satisfied, she moved her lips forward and kissed the Q version of Errol on the head, her love for him being beyond words.
Q version of Errol...
The Q version of Errol is already cooked.
From head to toe, all the exposed skin is the same red as prawns fresh out of the pot.
His "cherry mouth" opened and closed again, his upper and lower lips trembling, as if he had been brutally attacked by a "child-eating female devil".
But Errol was Errol after all. He quickly adjusted himself and tried to turn the tables: "Miaomiao is really passionate... I didn't know that Miaomiao loved me so much that she wanted to eat me and become one with me?"
If Errol had said this in his adult voice, Lin Miao might have felt shy; but unfortunately, the demon's body became a Q version, and his voice turned into a cute child's voice. It didn't sound provocative at all, but it was quite funny.
"Yes, a little cutie like you is destined to be eaten by your auntie!!" Lin Miao was overjoyed and poked his soft little face again.
Errol didn't quite understand what he was saying, but he could tell from the looks of it that Lin Miao was treating him like a little pet that could be teased at will.
...Whatever, what else can it be.
The demon that could once set an entire mountain range ablaze with lust with a wave of its claws, the lustful head that had revealed its ugly appearance, threw up its hands and said "abandon". The whole little figure hugged Lin Miao's fingers and rubbed them, saying in a resentful tone: "I'm so worried about Miao Miao, but not only does someone not appreciate it, he even plays tricks on me..."
"Nothing." Lin Miao refused to admit to 'playing around' and gestured for him to look at the scales temporarily resting on the windowsill. "I was just trying to contact you."
The ripples in the Q-version devil's eyes softened, and he touched Lin Miao's fingertips, "It shows that Miaomiao and I have a telepathic connection."
A telepathic connection...
He didn't think much about this word when it came to Errol's lips, but after it came out, it made both the man and the demon feel somewhat familiar, and someone's figure flashed through their minds almost at the same time.
One of them clenched his teeth in unwillingness, while the other was dragged into memories and was slightly dazed for a few seconds, but they both "tacitly" did not let the other notice anything.
Errol suppressed his clamoring thoughts and quickly changed the subject: "Miaomiao just wanted to contact me, but what do you want to say?"
"Yes." Lin Miao pinched his brows and told the devil about the strange things he had observed in Capet Manor, and his description was quite objective.
Finally, she emphasized the sense of disharmony in Mrs. Capet and asked him hesitantly, "Lord Errol, do you think she might have been replaced by something else?"
"Are you saying she's got a new soul?" Q-version Errol frowned, then shook his head. "The probability is very small. Soul swapping is a forbidden technique unique to Hell, and high-level demons are extremely sensitive to the presence of their own kind."
He hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I had already explored this manor before you became Miss Cape, and I didn't sense any breath of hellish creatures."
That is the transformation of Thetis herself.
Lin Miao stared at the devil with crooked eyes: "If you don't ask, you won't know. Lord Errol has done so many things secretly."
"That's nothing." The little devil stood in Lin Miao's palm, raising his chin complacently. "It's my duty to protect my humans. Sooner or later, you'll understand that I'm better than... I'm definitely the best devil!!"
"Thank you, Master Errol." Lin Miao's smile widened. "By the way, is this little guy your clone?"
——Why do I feel like my body has become smaller and even my mind has shrunk along with it? It’s so silly and cute.
"I guess so." Errol said, "I have a ray of consciousness on this little man, and I can control him remotely. However, due to the limitations of the light power in the human world, the little man can only appear at night."
"If you want to explore Capet Manor, you can take me with you now," he invited warmly. "Miaomiao will definitely not miss this great opportunity, right?"
"Not necessary tonight." Lin Miao pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"Yulia is not like the Capet siblings. She grew up under Mrs. Capet's wing and was under her tight control. On my first day back, Thetis must be at her most wary of me. I don't want to act rashly before I've fully ascertained the situation, lest I alert the enemy."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" The Errol figure raised an eyebrow. "This body has 3% of my strength. Even if you encounter something you can't solve, you can throw me away. The power of the explosion will be enough to drag me here."
"No need." Lin Miao still shook his head.
"Why?" He tilted his head in confusion, as if he had suddenly figured something out. "Don't feel sorry for them. This little guy is essentially just the embodiment of my magic power."
"If you like, I'll make you a few more after you destroy them."
Lin Miao: "But the five senses are shared, right?"
Errol: "...Yeah?" So?
She recalled the introduction to her puppetry skills and pursed her lips. "If being cautious can avoid injury, then why must we get used to pain?"
“…”
A sharp feeling of dizziness proliferated wildly through that strand of consciousness, and was transmitted to the brain of the three-headed dog a hundred miles away, causing the sea of soul to be in constant turmoil.
Errol, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the tower, groaned and pressed the flower between his eyebrows tightly. Magic power surged in, forcefully suppressing the other rebellious consciousness.
"Reese..."
The devil's hoarse and charming voice sounded softly, like pain and joy, carried by the wind and scattered in the night sky.
——His dear brother, can't you hold it in anymore?
The lustful leader once again intuitively and clearly sensed his brother's crazy concern for the human girl from the depths of his soul, but his initial disdain and shame evolved into the blatant rejection that he now wanted to erase all traces of his brother.
Did his warm and gentle persuasion like Miaomiao touch the secrets in your heart?
You, a twisted and perverted piece of trash who lives with pain, feel "heartbeat"?
So you must wake up at all costs and fight with me for the dominance of the body, even if in the end you can only watch soberly as the care that originally belonged to you is taken away by me.
To use up, to count, to strip, to seize?
“Ha, ha, hahahahahahahaha…”
The devil laughed even more happily.
"I'm so sorry, my brother." His eyes were blurry, and the corners of his lips curled up. "If I can fight for it, then it should be mine."
"And you...are nothing more than a loser dog, that's all."
The impact on the original soul was also reflected in the Q-version villain. Lin Miao saw the pain on the little devil's face and couldn't help but get anxious: "Lord Errol, what's wrong with you?"
Why is it that he suddenly had an epileptic seizure...?
"I'm fine." The little man staggered to his feet, enduring the violent shock of the collision of souls, staring at her with his bright red eyes.
"Suddenly I feel that I like you so much, Miaomiao."
“…”
It seems that it is not epilepsy, but insanity.
"Then please keep liking me, Lord Errol." Lin Miao didn't understand what the devil was up to, but she would always push for more.
Her eyebrows arched slightly, "I want to give all my love to you, the human who 'feeds' you."
Give your humanity all your loyalty, trust, and love.
