Chapter 8: The TV Demons

Without the screams of the Minotaur's suckers, business in the "most demonic corner" continues to be miserable today. The few customers are the same old faces that were there yesterday. The glass-faced Audat designated the dish that was already on the menu today - a noodle soup with blue worms instead of noodles, white blood as a soup, and a few slices of green meat on it.

With no other guests, Syk sat at the same table as Audat, eating his own baked macaroons and watching television.

Prime Minister Omimi's public statement was shown on television that he needed more international aid to save the poor in the country. The scene then shows the streets of his country, where people live in mud houses, and all adults and children are skinny.

"It's strange, why didn't they kill the 'Prime Minister'?" Audat said.

"Why did you kill him?" asked Rick.

"You're so human, you should know why, why didn't they kill the Prime Minister?" Audat asked Syk.

"I don't understand why I killed him in the first place. 」

"That's normal. Have you been on Earth for too long and have forgotten the basics of being human?" said Audat. There was a transparent brain in his glass head, which was now slightly red, and many red rays were reflected on the surface of the glass: "Adults who don't take care of their subordinates should be eaten. Look at the place where he lives. Audat said. Prime Minister Omi Mimai was interviewed by reporters in the palatial Diet, and there was certainly no water leakage there, and it looked like it was air-conditioned.

"How many human beings can live in that house alone?" said Audat, referring to the members of Congress. "One is fatter than the other, and after slaughtering, at least everyone can spend the winter safely." His clothes are much prettier than those of his subordinates, and it would be nice to sell them for a cart or something, and to have a tool to make money? I don't know about human beings, but those human children should not have enough to eat, right? Just give them a few fingers, it should be very helpful for development, right?"

"If you eat him now, what will happen next year?" Nick tried to convince Audat that it would be more useful for the prime minister to live.

"Do you think his subordinates look like they'll live until next year? 」

"But—" Rick didn't know what to say. Sounds reasonable, but humans just don't do that, why?

"He said it all so clearly, he said: 'The major powers of the world hurry up and give me money, so that I can play with women, build mansions, eat and drink. 'Do you expect him to do any of his adult obligations?'

"No, he didn't say that!" Rick shook his head. He was sure of that.

Audat's brain turned green: "That's what he said, I don't believe you're listening to the replay. 」

The mop-headed demon's eyes flashed a few times as the TV replayed the footage just now. Prime Minister Oyami said, "Eighty per cent of our people still have no access to water, electricity or money for education, and I implore countries around the world to lend a helping hand and continue to help my people. 」

"That's right. He was saying, "I need money to play with women and build mansions. He also said, "I've already spent that one, so hurry up and give me the next one." Audat nodded affirmatively, and his brain became transparent again.

Rick scratches his scalp. Audat is supposed to mean that the prime minister will embezzle the money for international aid, but he doesn't know why the devil can listen to a politician and know what bad ideas he is playing. Nick thought about it, sometimes he could do it.

"Why don't you kill him, do you want to make him fatter and eat it again?" Audat continued to ponder the question of human flesh preparation, "I heard that humans are a race that will protect stupid people, is that why?"

"What's the matter with the conservation idiot?" Rick was finally surprised.

"Don't you know?" Audat's brain turned dark blue, "Are you just humanized with your skin? If there is a human who is stupid and lazy, who only exploits the fruits of others if he does not produce anything, who provokes the powerful and powerful everywhere, and who likes to enter dangerous forbidden areas, and who does all kinds of things that will kill him, humans will do everything they can to keep him alive. But if he is a cautious and thinking human, he will let him figure out his own way, and will not help him with anything, and will not think about him when making arrangements for various things. 」

It took him a moment to put his head in order and replied, "No, man doesn't do it because he's stupid or smart, it's because he's weak or strong. Human beings are protecting the weak, not the stupid. 」

"We will protect the weak. Humans don't. Audat pointed to the mop demon next to the TV: "Anyone who dares to bully that weak boy will be beaten. He was too weak to be violent, and it was unjust to treat him with violence. I ask you, is it because they are weak or more often because they are stupid?"

"Humans are also weak. Rick wasn't sure. He didn't have much faith in humanity in the first place. What's more, he had seen the phenomenon that Audat was talking about, and the other party was protecting the worst murderer in the human race. Rick shrugged, indicating that he didn't know the answer either.

"I wish the descendants of Evansar would allow us to do charity on earth. Audat muttered.

Rick silently eats the biscuits. He felt that Audat should be an intellectual among the demons.

By the time it was time for dinner, Syk was bored enough to start arranging flowers with ingredients. He put a purple flower with orange spots on its petals and ciliated stems in a glass of water and a cup on each table. As soon as he inserted a cup, Sa Mihot took the cup directly and ate it as a snack while walking.

Samihot doesn't care about Xike's waste of ingredients, doesn't care that the Giant Maniac almost emptied all the turkey goose meat in the refrigerator, and doesn't care that Xike takes away a lot of ingredients that can be eaten by humans and stews and eats them, which is completely different from the restaurant boss in Xike's impression.

Samihot acted like he cared about the lack of customers in the store, but Nick felt that he didn't care. He's like a man who owns an entire mountain and grows a tulip bulb in a pot, and this part is pure entertainment for him, and it doesn't matter if he succeeds or not.

If business continues to deteriorate, he should go to a nearby library and apply for a library card.

When the crowds began to decrease, Xi Ke could only stand in front of the store, watching the neighbors show off how hard they had worked today, how many Okes and difficult bosses they had dealt with, like a veteran of battle, very proud of his survival.

And Xi Ke probably did target shooting exercises, and when he was about to set off, the transport vehicle broke down, so he was thrown in the rear until the end of the war, and he didn't even hear the sound of artillery on the real battlefield. This prevented him from joining the conversation with his neighbors.

The neighbor on the left said that today a customer left the table to wash his hands after ordering, and when he came back, he sat at a different table, and found that the things he brought were not in the seat, so he scolded the waiter for stealing his things. The waiter directly brought the things to him, and by the way, changed the order to that table, and he even broke his mouth while eating and said that they were "thieves return stolen goods". Later, when the customer had an accident, the waiters cheered.

The neighbor on the right said that their boss smashed the kitchen cabinet with a fire extinguisher today, and then used a wooden spatula to poke a hole in the steel saucepan. Then he walked past the crowd of diners in the restaurant, walked all the way out of the store, went to the second shop on the left, and threw his back on the back bridge to the first customer he saw. Before the customer was thrown, he had words in his mouth, as if they had something to do with "thief", "stolen goods" or something.

Sitting in a chair outside the store, he listened to the waiter next door being yelled at to clean the dirty dishes that were as high as mountains - the used dishes in his shop were washed in five minutes, mainly from him and the Big Mania.

At this time, it was the discount time upstairs before closing, and the clamor was endless, but suddenly everyone fell silent. Then the shop on the left pulled down the iron door, and the shop on the right also erected a fence that was "clean". Xi Ke stood up and saw that each store had a sign that read "Meals are sold out" and "Closed today" hung prominently. Yesterday there was no such collective closure of stores.

Rick looked up the stairs, where two guests with a near-human appearance came down.

One of the guests looks like a human strong man, but the ratio of the upper and lower body is two to one, both in height and width. The disproportionately small head is stuck with five large screws painted red, the dimensions of which are used for cranes. His mouth was full of metal fangs, and his eyes had no pupils, only the whites of his eyes. The whole body is covered in crocodile-like crust. On the chest hangs a whole piece of ornament strung with a large number of skulls, like a large bib made of skulls.

The other looks like a human beauty. But the chin is extremely pointed, almost a standard inverted triangle, and the eyes are so large that they almost take up half of the face, and there are black stripes around the eyes that extend all the way to the temples. There are no bangs, purple hair is combed into a high bun, and the ends of the untied hair are curled, forming a clump of unknown objects on the head. Her breasts and hips were large and straight, almost threatening, and she wore a long dress with a golden high slit that drove all the way to her navel with a peak collar on her chest.

The man's skin was back to normal, but with a hint of an over-lifted rubber sheen. Although the pupils appeared, they were almost the same as if they were not, and almost only the whites of the eyes could be seen. The teeth became human, but they were too white and shiny, and they must have been bleached. The screws on the head are gone, and they become small flat heads. In place of earrings, there is a whole bunch of nails stuck in the ears. The proportions of the whole person are a little normal, the upper body is a little smaller, the lower body is a little longer, and the head is a little bigger. There was no skeleton on his chest, but a skinless mannequin in a salute pose, printed on his black undershirt.

The woman's appearance barely changed, the difference was that her purple hair turned unnaturally blonde, which should have been dyed. The streaks around the eyes can now be easily distinguished, and that's the makeup effect. Now that she is human, she can tell that her exaggerated breasts and buttocks are artificial.

Vick immediately turned and rushed into the bathroom, staring at his face in the mirror. He called out the ball of light to shine at his eyes, his pupils reflecting slightly and unusually red. He had to stop cleaning the food cabinets in the store and go upstairs to buy more food from the "human food stall" upstairs.

When Syck returned to the store, he saw Dirty and Smelly hiding in the kitchen. Rick asked the two guards, "Why didn't you stop the humans?"

The little fellow, who didn't know if it was dirty or smelly, replied, "Those guys know what is going on here, and they can't be scared, so they can only close the door and wait for them to leave. 」

"Oh-ah!" Oh no, the "Devil's Corner" hasn't closed!

Rick walked to the outfield area, and it was too late. The two customers walked straight to the shop.
