Ling Ping closed the door and pulled down the roller shutter again.

Then he looked up and looked at the time.

"It's almost half past eleven!" He said.

So, he took the water cup containing the grasshopper and went upstairs.

By the way, turn off the lights.

Crunch crunch!

The sound of the wooden staircase is still permeating.

The grasshopper in the water glass, listening to this sound, trembled and curled up into a ball.

At this time, Duke Evie finally regained a little strength.

But instead of making his situation better, it plunged him into deeper terror.

His compound eyes saw it clearly.

Inside this terrible bookstore, countless evil pupils stared at him one by one.

They whispered, ominous voices of horror echoing in Duke Evie's ears.

Listen to these voices, these terrible taboo ominous sounds.

Look at the evil pupils full of hunger and thirst.

Evie, the Duke of Hell, was so frightened that he almost lost his ability to think.

…………………………………………

Changing into slippers, Ling Ping'an put the water cup on the table casually.

Then, he looked at the kitten that had been staring at the grasshopper in the cup.

Ling Ping'an touched the little cutie's head: "Little girl...... Brother go take a shower first! ”

"Wait for my brother to take a bath, and then I'll roast grasshoppers for you!"

Meow!

The kitten Bester barked, which was kind of an agreement.

So, Ling Ping'an put down his mobile phone, then found a change of clothes, and walked into the bathroom, turning on the bath bomb and water heater.

There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom.

………………………………

Duke Evie felt as if he had been thrown into space by some terrible force, and then quickly crashed to the earth.

His body was tumbling in a small plastic cup.

That's when the bad side of His eyes came into being.

Because He found that no matter how much he tossed and turned.

Always with another pair of amber cat's eyes, staring at Him!

The black kitten, tears from the corners of his mouth, very uncontrollably flowed down.

Meow!

He cried softly.

The pyramid was reflected behind Him.

Countless prayers and prayers were heard in the ears.

At this moment, Duke Evie knew that the power and authority of the cat goddess had returned for the most part.

He has succeeded in anchoring Himself in the real world.

He is now free to use his authority and power at will.

The authority of the cat goddess is to guard!

The guardian of the pyramid is also the guardian of the family.

As His divine power rendered, the reflected pyramid became more and more solid.

The situation of countless Egyptian homes and pyramids flows in that reflection.

The cat goddess stared at him.

That's the hunter staring at the prey!

It's also the diners looking at the ingredients!

He can't wait!

Duke Evie shivered, curled up through the seemingly thin, but indestructible plastic cup.

"Please......" He cried.

"Please......"

"As long as you let me go...... I want to live and ......."

But the cat goddess shook her head.

Evie was about to continue to plead, making a last-ditch effort to survive.

Suddenly, He felt a tremor and fear from the depths of his soul.

It was as if a natural predator was targeting, and his soul was pulled up at once.

The Devil's Duke's compound eyes, seeing a little blue flame, fell on the coffee table.

The flames flickered, exuding a terrifying and terrifying aura.

This is the breath of the superior.

It is also the breath of those who feed on higher beings and races!

In the recipe for this flame, the gods are also impressively listed!

But that's just the beginning.

Evie curled up in the plastic cup, the inner walls of the plastic cup that once terrified him were now his only safe reliance.

But......

This fragile sense of security was quickly shattered.

Because the compound eye of His abdomen saw a little emerald green shadow, quietly emerald.

The hideous mouthparts in the shadow roared, and together they conveyed a message: I want to eat!

Evie clearly felt that if he fell into His hands.

There will definitely not be any scum left!

In this moment, the devil who once fed on the fear and despair of mankind.

I finally experienced fear and despair.

And three times as much fear and despair!

Three monsters, all trying to eat Him.

And He ...... The once terrible Duke of Hell Devil is already a fish on a knife.

This fact made Duke Evie collapse!

Meow!

The little black cat barked softly and stretched out its paws.

His claws were pointed at Evie.

Then I drew in the air, and then pointed this part of the drawing to myself.

It's about four-fifths of the way.

Small flames flickered, and the blue glow was reflected on the ground.

It is divided into three petals.

He gave the largest petal to the kitten, about half of it.

Then He gave Himself two-thirds of the remaining half!

Meow!

The little black cat is firmly opposed!

His claws made a circle, then flicked lightly.

He wants at least two-thirds!

Then he pushed, and the rest was pushed to the small flame and the little green shadow.

The meaning is obvious, I don't care how you divide it, but I must eat so much!

This is the most basic!

And, that's the ultimate condition!

The little flame looked at it, and after a little flurging, the firelight swayed, and seemed to agree.

Then His flame rose.

snatched at least eighty percent of that one-third of the aperture!

He would only give the green shadow a little scrap!

There are plenty of reasons!

In the flickering firelight, the great will conveys a message that cannot be ignored.

You...... Not...... Use...... Yes...... Yes...... Eat...... Only...... No...... Wrong!

Wow!

A crisp cry pierced the silence of the living room.

In the green shadow, the appearance of a little girl slowly emerged.

Her pear blossoms brought rain, and tears flowed down in big drops.

The little face as delicate as a peach blossom is pitiful.

In her crying, she raised her two small arms, which seemed to be made of young leaves.

In the emerald green arm, a faint aura flowed.

It seems to say: I want to grow my body, I am hungry......

Evie watched all this in amazement.

Watching yourself being treated as a commodity, as a fish and meat, to be slaughtered.

The scene is so familiar.

So much so that He used to do such things every day.

The souls of poor human beings are divided and devoured by Him at will.

Their cries and wails were His favorite sounds.

Right now......

Is it His turn to be divided, to be devoured?

Under Evie's watchful eye, the partition agreement was soon reached.

The little girl, crying with her own howl, won more rights.

Her share has increased to about 20 percent.

Little Flame and Little Black Cat each gave up about five percent of their share.

I'm still not satisfied, but at least, I'm half full.

As a result, the small living room was quiet again!

………………………………

Ling Ping'an finished his bath and wiped his wet hair.

Then walked out.

He looked at Best, who had been crouching in front of the desk, staring at the grasshopper that was being detained on the desk.

"Snack goods!" Ling Ping'an laughed.

He walked over to the refrigerator and took a mushroom out of it.

Despite being refrigerated for two days, the mushrooms are still fresh.

And, probably because it was left for two days, its fragrance became even stronger!

Ling Ping'an picked up the mushroom, then picked up the cup, and greeted Best: "Little girl, let's have supper!" ”

Meow!

The kitten immediately barked happily.

Immediately followed his master.

Walking up to the third floor, Ling Ping'an pushed the door open, and the moonlight outside immediately spilled in.

The moonlight tonight is stunning!

Ling Ping'an casually turned on a lamp and moved the simple oven out.

Then he brought a lighter and lit a charcoal fire.

The flames slowly loomed, then burned.

He placed the barbecue grill at the foot of the wall and walked outside the door.

"Huh!" He suddenly squatted down in surprise and looked at the small sapling in the plastic pot: "Little girl, you have grown a lot taller!" ”

The small saplings in the plastic pot have grown from the initial little shoots to a small sapling more than an inch high.

There were several more young leaves, and in the moonlight, the small peach tree swayed gently.

Ling Ping'an reached out and touched its soft trunk.

The emerald green and soft saplings swayed gently at his touch.

The breeze blew, and the two tender leaves gently rubbed Ling Ping'an's fingers.

"It seems that you can fertilize it again another day!" Ling Ping'an said.

Meow!

The kitten barked and seemed to agree.

"Little girl!" Ling Ping'an turned to look at the kitten, and then looked at the grasshopper in the plastic cup: "Brother, let's roast the grasshopper for you first!" ”

A manly man, what he says counts.

Moreover, Best's performance today is worth encouraging!

It can comfort others, which means that it has a caring kitten!

Should be rewarded!

Meow!

The kitten barked excitedly and couldn't wait to lie down next to the stove.

Ling Ping'an blew on the stove to make the fire a little stronger!

Then, he took the cup, poured out the grasshopper from the cup, and pinched it with two fingers.

He put the grasshopper in front of his eyes and looked at it.

"That's fat!" He exclaimed.

The grasshopper in his eyes was full of flesh.

It's sure to be delicious when baked!

If he hadn't already given it to Best, he would have liked to eat it himself!

………………………………

"Governor ......" Situ He walked to Li Shouyi, who was looking at the monitoring screen, and reported in a low voice: "The person has been picked up......"

"This is the ...... of the receiving team's confession"

Li Shouyi picked it up and looked through it.

These documents record the statements of each person.

In the context of words, the attitude and tone of the bookstore owner are described and described from different angles.

Li Shouyi looked slowly, word by word, comparing repeatedly.

"It seems ......," he said suddenly, "it's the same situation as the think tanks......

"This bookstore owner is dealing with us in a way that resembles an emperor's mind!"

He pointed to a description on the document and said to Situ He: "Situ look, he said: They are all poor people......

"How could he not know that these men were the leaders of the most vicious cults?"

"He knows!"

That's for sure!

"Situ, look at it again, and he went on to say: Doesn't the federal empire have special support policies and systems? That's what I thought of you......"

"What do you mean?" Li Shouyi asked.

Situ He shook his head blankly and said, "Please supervise!" ”

"It's easy!" Li Shouyi said: "The emperors of the past also liked to say this! ”

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something from the past: "The first emperor was also like this when he was here......"

He pondered it for a while, but he couldn't help but say, "Tsundere! ”

Situ He almost laughed when he listened.

"Don't laugh!" Li Shouyi said seriously: "This is a very clever skill!" ”

"Emperors always have some things of this or that, which are inconvenient to do by themselves, let alone directly ......"

"Therefore, you have to deliberately be confused when you understand ......"

"You have to deliberately dissociate something from yourself!"

Li Shouyi looked at Situ He and asked, "Situ, have you heard that the Fusang royal family has a tradition of crane sounds!" ”

Situ He nodded, he naturally knew.

The kings of Fuso often said inexplicable things.

Let others guess, speculate, and then execute.

"It's all the same!" Li Shouyi said: "It's just that this bookstore owner is not an emperor after all......"

"He doesn't need to hide like the emperors......"

"So, he just found out!"

"He meant it very simply!"

"You've been doing a good job lately...... Li Shouyi pursed his lips: "So, I will reward you with these people as gifts!" ”

"But...... How can I let you guess what I mean? ”

"So......" Li Shouyi asked rhetorically, "What is this not tsundere?" ”

"Obviously, even ordinary people know that those people are all monsters and strong people......"

"But he's going to tell us – these are poor people......"

"And told us to contain them......"

"In this way, he himself avoids the possibility of a casual reward, and on the other hand, he saves our face......

"But in fact, that's the reward!"

"Obviously!" Li Shouyi looked at the other contents of the report and said categorically: "You see, in front of other people, he captured Evie, the Duke of Hell, by some incredible means, and this is the best proof!" ”

"This is also the best performance of tsundere!"

"I'm afraid we won't understand His intentions!"

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Shouyi's mouth slowly smiled.

Tsundere?

The last thing the Federal Empire is afraid of is tsundere.

Because the empire has a lot of experience!

A long 2,000-year-old feudal history!

In the first hundred years of the Federal Empire, three kings with different personalities, but equally arrogant, could provide a lot of first-hand information and data.

At that moment, the figure of the bookstore owner appeared on the screen.

The drone, which had been hovering overhead, clearly captured him with his pet, walking out of the door and onto the roof.

In a small stove, the fire burned.

Beside him, the Duke of Hell in the cup, his twisted and misshapen figure, struggled in it.

"We will witness the complete fall of a Duke of Hell!" Li Shouyi said seriously, he thought about it, and added: "In the hands of a tsundere mysterious unknown being!" ”

"This is another proof of His arrogance!"

"He, knowing we know he's captured a Duke of Hell!"

"When you know our drone is watching!"

"He came out to show us how He cooks and destroys a Duke of Hell!"

Li Shouyi leaned back in his chair gently.

Since the bookstore owner appeared, his long-tense nerves could finally be soothed.

Because......

Deal with tsundere, deal with tsundere, the experience of the Federal Empire, stand alone in the world!

"After returning to the imperial capital, I have to go through the notes of those ministers in charge in the early stage!"

The founding Taizu of the Federal Empire abolished the eunuch system.

The system of female officials and ministers of the Imperial Household was introduced.

By the time of Taizong, the eunuchs left over from the previous dynasty, the old and the dead, the profession of eunuchs disappeared in the long river of history.

And the minister in charge of the palace has become the new favorite.

These people are all civil officials, and there are more ceremonial eunuchs than the previous dynasty!

Thinking of this, Li Shouyi looked at the screen intently.

Because, on the screen, the owner of the bookstore has already begun to deal with the Duke of Hell.

……………………………………………………

Ling Ping'an watched as the fire slowly rose.

He pinched the grasshopper in his hand, and his fat body looked a little tempting.

He licked his lips and threw the grasshopper on the grill.

Flames rose immediately.

Grasshoppers stumble on the grill.

But soon, it was engulfed in flames and stopped struggling!

Ling Ping'an sighed and said to it, "I'm sorry, I forgot to give you a humanitarian death......"

"But ......"

"I remember that the nerves of insects are very few ......"

"And the pain is not too high......"

"So......" he shrugged.

……………………………………………………

Li Shouyi and Situ He looked at the picture on the screen.

The owner of the bookstore easily pinched out the Duke of Hell from his cup.

It's like pinching an ant.

The Duke of Hell in His hands, the once terrible devil who was once invincible, is like an ant, and there is no room for struggle.

He gently threw the duke onto the grill in front of him.

Flames rise.

The high-definition camera of the drone accurately captured this picture!

The flames, with a pure blue!

Burning wantonly, dazzling like a solar flare!

In the flames, the Devil Duke rolled and roared in pain.

His soul and body were scorched together.

His power, His spirituality, His flesh and blood, melt together!

And the filth in his body and the blasphemous energy in his soul were directly vaporized and burned in the flames, and finally turned into pale golden lines that lingered in his flesh and blood.

The Devil Duke, in the flames, in less than a few seconds, was roasted into a crystal clear, grasshopper-shaped thing.

Just as He said: Roast a worm and eat it!

And Li Shouyi and Situ He obviously felt it, in the scorching flames.

All the bad and corrosive things in the soul and flesh of the devil duke from hell have been transformed into a special substance.

These substances are mixed with the spirituality and flesh and blood of this devil duke.

It has become a kind of divine object that Li Shouyi and Situ He can't help but salivate when they look at it!

Let them smell the fragrance through the screen!

"If I can eat this grasshopper...... Li Shouyi swallowed his saliva: "I will definitely be able to break the current shackles immediately and step into a new world in one fell swoop!" ”

That's for sure!

It was a divine object that the essence of the Devil Duke's countless years of accumulation and precipitation was refined by the bookstore owner himself in some kind of terrifying magical flame!

In itself, I'm afraid it's enough to revive a god completely!

Coupled with the fact that the owner of the bookstore personally took action, its quality has risen sharply!

Even if Situ He eats it, I'm afraid he will be able to soar on the ground!

But......

In the next second, Li Shouyi and Situ He both saw that the owner of the bookstore had thrown the grasshopper that had been roasted on the grill, flowing with five-colored light and containing infinite spiritual energy, to the kitten at his feet.

His pet, the cat goddess Best!

Li Shouyi swallowed.

"People are not as good as cats!" He sighed.

Situ He swallowed his saliva and sighed: "People are not as good as cats!" ”

……………………………………

The kitten Best, opened her mouth to catch the grasshopper thrown by Ling Ping'an.

It bites down!

Tears welled up from the corners of his mouth.

I was about to take a bite and swallow it all.

It suddenly remembered something.

So, he picked up the grasshopper and ran into the house.

Ling Ping'an watched and knew that the kitten was probably used to eating on his back in the corner.

So I didn't care about it, but stood up and started preparing the mushrooms.

…………………………

The little black cat took the fragrant grasshopper in his mouth and made his mouth water.

It jumped into the utility room.

A small flame emerged from its side.

The faint blue flames and plasma saliva couldn't help but rush out.

The little black cat reluctantly bit the grasshopper from its mouth and gave it about a little more than a third of the weight.

Then about 20 percent of the meat was thrown into a plastic basin.

Click, click, click!

It then lay down and devoured it.

The clattering and clattering sound of fine chewing also came from the plastic basin.

Suck! Suck!

The little flame licked the meat in his hand.

It is extremely cherished and taken very seriously.

Because this is a treasure that the Great Lord has personally roasted!

So, even though its raw material is nothing more than a low-level secondary devil.

But......

This is also a myriad of benefits for Him!

The little flame even felt it, if He could digest the flesh completely.

So......

His status can be further advanced!

Perhaps, in the future, he can become the great pope of the living flame!

Become the leader of all the other high rituals!

You can even have a star of your own.

So as to have the possibility of being promoted to the outer gods!

From the Old Dominator to the Outer Gods, it takes not only strength and knowledge, but also recognition!

Because, the old rulers are just powerful old gods.

But the outer gods have mastered the rules, and are even the embodiment of the rules themselves!

Therefore, all the authority and power of the outer gods come from Him.

The Great Lord, the origin and foundation of all things!
