Madoka's face turned pale when she heard this demonic laugh.

"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me, Xiaowan, after all, I'm half your father!"

Jian Zhiqiong saw that the space next to Xiao Yuan was blurred, and then a demon in a white coat appeared.

"Hey, I know you, you're Jian Zhiqiong, Ramatic is crazy about you, and he can't wait to eat your flesh. The demon that suddenly appeared looked at Jian Zhiqiong carefully. "You're going to be the core of my experiments. 」

The demon snapped his fingers, and a large space behind him blurred, and the caretakers of the first, second, third, and fourth floors suddenly appeared.

When the guards saw the demon, they immediately surrendered and fell to the ground.

The betrayer respectfully offered a vial of blue liquid to the demon: "This is the master who ordered the minions to harvest the souls of the survivors. 」

The demon took the vial, which contained the souls of the survivors, and nodded in satisfaction, "Very good!

"Thank you, master!" the betrayer turned into a green streamer and melted into the man imprisoned in the dungeon.

The Joker, the Executioner, and the Warden of the First Floor also turned into yellow, red, and black streamers, merging with the man imprisoned in the dungeon.

"So far, you still refuse to be obedient? This is a chance to be reborn and resurrected! You human beings think about it for a long time, and you think about it a lot of opportunities! Your father Li Yali did not hesitate to betray human beings, sell his soul to demons, and booby trap innocent human beings in order for you to be reborn and resurrected. Can you bear to let down your father's hard work?" the demon seduced Madodo.

Madoka pointed to the man in the dungeon, and said uncontrollably, "She's not me at all, she's just a weapon of war made by you! The so-called rebirth and resurrection are all lies you used to deceive your father, so that he will serve you willingly!"

Imprisoned in the dungeon is a half-human, half-demon monster, with a human body on the left, the same appearance as the person in the oil painting earlier, and the black body of a demon on the right.

"Looks like you already know everything?" said the demon with a grin.

"Yes, from the beginning, I didn't plan to resurrect his daughter Li Xiaowan for Li Yali, I wanted to use him to help me with my research on demons. Actually, I didn't completely deceive your father, because I did use your dead body to collect your soul that was about to dissipate before I could do it. 」

"This research was not easy, and it took me a great deal of money to build the Castle of Despair, where your soul can be deposited in this space while remaining connected to reality. Since most of your soul has dissipated, I must collect enough human souls in the Desperate Castle to replenish your broken soul. So, I take the human emotions you have in your soul: joy, anger, betrayal, and sorrow, and make them into a caretaker, slaughtering the survivors who have been lured in by Li Yali. With the full support and assistance of Li Yali, my research project has been very smooth. 」

The demon suddenly changed his words, looked at Jian Zhiqiong and said, "However, there are still unexpected factors in the plan. The first factor is your appearance, which was originally a favorable factor, you have a strong soul, as long as you can successfully harvest your soul, you can basically complete my plan, and there is no need to slowly collect the souls of ordinary people, so I instructed the betrayers to stop pretending to be and wipe out the survivors. 」

The demon's eyes glared at Madoka at this time, "The second factor is your presence. Your birth is a miracle, and I didn't expect it. You are Li Xiaowan, and you are not Li Xiaowan. You were born from the fragments of Li Xiaowan's soul, inheriting Li Xiaowan's memories and personality, but also derived a new sense of self. Your memories were in a state of confusion when you were born, and they still had no bad effect on my plans. However, when you reply to Li Xiaowan's memories and plan to sabotage my plan with Jian Zhiqiong, I must stop you. 」

"Alright, I'll put everything right now. Li Xiaowan, you go back to your body immediately, otherwise I will kill Li Yali when I go out. The demon threatens Madoka, that is, Li Xiaowan.

Li Xiaowan looked at the demon in resignation: "I will return to my body, but you must promise me one condition. 」

The demon smiled, "Do you think you're qualified to make a deal with me?"

Li Xiaowan glanced at Jian Zhiqiong and the others, then confronted the demon, ignoring its threat, and said bravely, "If I choose to disappear myself, all your investment and effort in the plan will come to naught. Of course, for my father's life, I will cooperate, but only if you get the three of them out of the Desperate Castle alive first. 」

The demon snorted coldly, feeling extremely unhappy in his heart. Li Xiaowan did hit his soft underbelly, if he couldn't successfully launch the demon man's weapon manufacturing plan, his losses would be extremely heavy.

"Hey, you three are lucky enough to be the first three humans to escape from the Castle of Despair. Unfortunately, when you return to reality, you will be hunted down by me, Renard. Renard said coldly.

A blur of space suddenly appeared behind Renard.

"Get out!" Renard shouted to Jian Zhiqiong and the others.

Zhong Yinzeng and Zhang Chengfeng looked at Jian Zhiqiong, obviously waiting for Jian Zhiqiong's decision.

Jian Zhiqiong ignored Renard and said to Li Xiaowan with a smile, "I don't want to rely on other people's sacrifices in exchange for my own survival. If the elder brother has to rely on the sacrifice of his sister to survive, my brother is inevitably too deserved. 」

"I'm not interested in your plans at all, but if you bully my sister, I won't let you go. Jian Zhiqiong said fiercely at Renard.

"Just you?" said Renard laughing, as if he had heard a very funny joke. "I'm the master of the space of the Castle of Despair, and I'm in charge of the rules of this space, how can you hurt me in the slightest?"

"Big brother..." Li Xiaowan's tears rolled in her eyes.

Zhong Yinzeng and Zhang Chengfeng are not bad breeds, they are not the slightest dissatisfied with Jian Zhiqiong's decision, and stand firmly behind Jian Zhiqiong.

Jian Zhiqiong took out the hope powder from his arms and sprinkled it in the air.

"It's useless, it's useless, I've changed the rules for the existence of Hope Powder, and you no longer have any way to use spiritual power in the Castle of Despair. Renard laughed triumphantly. "You're just an ant in front of me, and you'll soon regret giving up your chance to escape, and you'll pay the price for your pretense. 」

Seeing Renard getting carried away and making nonsense, Jian Zhiqiong also smiled.
