Chapter 269 Little Red Devil

"The hell you are talking about couldn't be the same as what I understand." Malu's ominous premonition became stronger.

Fortunately, the wandering warlock quickly clarified, "No."

"That's good."

"The hell I studied is many times more dangerous than the one you know."

"Can you please stop panting when you speak?" Malu's heart suddenly began to rise. "Also, since the hell you mentioned is so dangerous, is it possible that the best way to deal with it is not to study it?"

"No," the wandering warlock shook his head, "The seal on the door is getting weaker and weaker. I need to repair it, otherwise the creatures on the other side will soon break through the seal and descend into this plane.

"With their strength, the intelligent life on this plane has no ability to resist at all."

"Ah...Have you discussed this big matter with others?"

"Who?"

"Like... the police station?"

"Do they care about this kind of thing?"

"I guess it doesn't meet the standards for filing a case. Well, what about other visitors from other dimensions, such as the city manager, and the werewolf named Yanwu in the hardware store. He seems to be quite capable in fighting."

"They don't care about such things. This is the responsibility of me and my people... We wander the multiverse to ensure that those who live in hell do not interfere with other planes."

"They just gave you such an important task," Malu was shocked. "Is this reasonable? Or do you have other backup? No offense, you look quite young. If you fail, your teacher or the elders in your family will come to the rescue, right?"

"The main thing is that only my people and I can repair the seal of the Gate of Hell. Others can't help even if they want to. My mentor is also busy saving other planes. I don't know where she is now. The wandering warlock clan has always been wandering, and the multiverse is very large. Except for the apprenticeship period, we rarely meet other wandering warlocks."

The sorceress paused, then continued, "As for my parents, I was adopted by my mentor when I was very young. I don't know who my parents are, and they are most likely not wandering sorcerers. Our tribe is not connected by blood or race.

"Faith, responsibility and magic are the bond between us. Don't worry, I have completed all the training and met the graduation standards before coming here."

"So you are indeed a novice. Can you tell me what the worst possible outcome is?"

"We will all die, and this place will be swallowed by hell and become part of it."

Malu sighed, "I've always had a question, about the destruction of the earth, does it happen with the appearance of the protagonist? Because in general stories or movies, before the protagonist appears, the earth has been fine for billions of years."

"I... don't quite understand what you mean." The wandering warlock blinked, "My people and I have been resisting the expansion of hell for tens of thousands of years."

"It's okay, I was just complaining. What was the flaw you mentioned before?" Malu asked again.

"When I was investigating the Gate of Hell, I removed the seal in order to find the damaged node of the original seal. Of course, I also made corresponding preparations and made a temporary seal to replace it. As a result, in the few seconds when I swapped the two, a little red devil slipped out from behind the door.

"But it doesn't matter. The little red devil is the lowest level of all devils. They mainly rely on lies and deception to create chaos, with the purpose of devouring negative emotions such as fear and hatred. They don't have any means of attack, at least not at this stage, and I marked it immediately."

"So, the person who just shouted that Anqi was in the store was the little red devil, and the reason why you appeared here in advance was also because of the little devil." Malu concluded. "Yes, but everything is under my control." The wandering warlock emphasized again, "I have the ability and responsibility to solve the situation in this plane."

"That's good." Malu said, "Can I ask one more question? Just one question."

"of course."

"How long has it been since that little red devil came out?"

“…………”The wandering warlock was silent.

“And what happens if it consumes enough negative emotions?”

"It will evolve and become a crimson demon." The wandering warlock sniffed. "It is a mid-level demon. By then, it will no longer need to feed by sowing discord or playing pranks. Wherever it goes, all creatures in the area will fall into despair, madness and pain."

"Please define that area."

"About the size of a city."

Malu took a breath of cold air.

"I will figure it out, it just takes some time. In fact, I almost caught it several times before, just by a little bit." The wandering warlock defended.

"No, you definitely need help." Malu said, "We may not be able to help you repair the seal, but we can still help capture the little red devil. Just tell me what I should do."

"Okay, I need to replenish my mana. I almost used up all my mana when I made the temporary seal. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been unable to capture a little red devil for so long."

Malu snapped his fingers. "That's why you requested that the content of fire element be above 17% when ordering the dish. No problem. I can satisfy you."

"Is this really possible? My dining reservation is for 8: pm... It seems like you're still open to the public."

"There are priorities. Since you are fighting for this plane, as a local, I certainly cannot let you fight alone."

After saying this, Malu went to the kitchen and asked Lao Wang to prepare dishes for the evening. He then found some helpers for the wandering warlock.

Led by Gigina, the Valkinas rode on rats and began searching the city for the little red devil.

In addition, Malu also contacted the hardware store owner, who agreed readily after hearing the whole story. Malu even asked Gigina to try to contact Chen Zhengyi.

But the latter has always been mysterious. Malu didn’t even know his cell phone number, and Gigina just put the letter for help into the mailbox he designated.

Millipede originally wanted to call the city manager as well. Although the pigeon didn't look very powerful, Millipede always felt that it must have something extraordinary about it, otherwise how could it manage all the strange visitors from other dimensions in this city.

However, this proposal was rejected by the wandering warlock, who said that she had already caused a lot of trouble for everyone, especially the city manager, and that as long as she could restore her magic power, the rest of the matters could be left to her.
