Lulu, sitting on a rocky wasteland.

Beside him, the dark waters of the River Styx were emitting a disgusting stench.

Her eyes were blank, the horns on her head were dull, and her bright red tail was limp to the ground.

Lulu has accepted her fate.

She didn't even try to run away, just stayed where she was, silently waiting for her boss Dellin's punishment and her own sad future.

In the ritual of being drained of soul energy and demoted to a bloated demon, it must have hurt when lead water is poured into the ears and iron nails pierce into the eyes. Lulu thought.

Lulu didn't choose to kill herself, and the devil's nature prevented her from killing herself.

Even if she is demoted to a lowly and ugly devil form, as long as she doesn't die, she still has a chance to be reused one day, get rid of the bloated demon form through promotion, and even surpass her boss in the future.

Even if this hope is extremely slim, it is not impossible. It can be regarded as a trace of hope and longing left in despair.

I don't know how long it took, but in the distant sky, a horned demon appeared. Lulu's boss, Dellin, descended from the sky and set off a hot wind that smelled of sulfur as he landed.

"You should already know why I'm coming to you." Dellin's nostrils erupted a few sparks.

"Yes, Lord Delrin, I know, I'm ready."

Lulu stood up.

She didn't shed tears, her expression was indifferent, she had a shallow smile on her face, but her voice didn't have the slightest warmth, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"Now that you already know ······" The tall horned demon Delrin, towards the blind-eyed Lulu, pressed forward step by step, sparks and smoke set off around him.

Lulu's white teeth clenched her red lips.

In Lulu's stunned gaze, Dellin leaned down gracefully towards Lulu:

"Now that you know, hurry to Lord Siffel's castle. Siefer-sama is eagerly waiting for you, Mistress Lulu. ”

Lulu froze in place, as if she had been struck by lightning. She had to use all her strength to keep herself from screaming.

She looked at her boss who saluted her, then looked up at the blood-colored high sky, and then looked down at her boss, and was speechless for a while, not knowing what kind of expression to show.

This, what's the situation?

What happened?

Am I so desperate that I'm hallucinating?

"And what about you, will you also be a staff member of the lord's court? Lord Delrin. "Lulu

"Of course I didn't get hired, Lord Lulu."

Dellin's tone was completely different from what he used to do, and when he addressed Lulu, he even used the honorific in Hell that was only used for superiors:

"You are the first place in the recruitment examination by Lord Sifer, and you have great hopes of becoming the leader of the Grand Duke's court staff!"

What? Lulu froze in place, as if she had been hit by the [Monster Immobilization Technique] that could not be exempted.

I'm ······

First place?

I remember the question on the back of me, and I did a terrible job, huh?

Could it be that the other devils are at a worse level? Did I do well in the interview and got my score?

As soon as this idea appeared in Lulu's head, she immediately rejected it.

She still knows what she did with the title on the back.

Even a perfect score on the front can't be saved.

A terrible thought popped into Lulu's mind:

"Is it possible that there was an error in the counting of results? Confusing my grades with other devils. ”

Lulu's mind raced, and she thought that this guess was the most likely.

But she didn't dare to say it.

Since you are wrong, you will be wrong, and with this oolong, you can get rid of the fate of being demoted to a bloated demon and step into the court of Lord Sephier.

Seeing that Lulu did not move, Dellin said:

"Lord Lulu, the Grand Duke is in the halls of the Lord's Castle, meeting every demon who has been recruited. Please hurry to Siffel-sama's castle as soon as possible.

"I cast a teleportation spell on Lord Lulu. If we delay, we won't be able to bear the wrath of Lord Siefer! ”

Lord Seiffel is meeting the devil who has been recruited?

Will this be an interview?

Lulu's heart went straight to her throat.

If it was really because of a mistake in the statistical results, she got a position that she didn't deserve, wouldn't she be directly exposed when she saw the lord this time?

Lulu didn't dare to say anything, and nodded stiffly:

"Let's go."

·············

When Lulu saw the dark castle of the Lords, she felt like she was in a dream.

This is the castle of the lords?

You call it ······ Castle? Lulu's eyes widened.

This is a huge fortress cluster!

The pitch-black fortress, which covers an area of five square miles, is surrounded by walls reinforced with tall towers.

Inferior Demons, Thorn Demons, Blood Armor Demons, Steel Demons, Legion Demons, and other demons slowly march through the structure to ensure that no intruder breaks through their defenses.

The most terrifying thing is that the walls of this huge fortress are covered with the corpses of mortals and demons.

The demons who were executed for offending their superiors, the mortals from different material worlds who hid in hell but angered the lord, used their corpses to create the most horrific scene outside the castle.

Of course, these corpses have nothing to do with Siefer, they are the work of the former Grand Duke Bell.

However, in Lulu's eyes, they are all symbols of Lord Sephiel's terrifying majesty.

If I am found to be unworthy, will I also become one of the corpses outside the city walls? Lulu couldn't help but shudder.
