Honkai Summoning.

Pressing the tangled bandages on his head, Tranton swayed as he walked to the bed that had almost been damaged, sat down, and muttered, "I need to rest. I'll leave things to you. I hope to see you've taken care of everything when I wake up."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Mo's reaction, she lay down and pulled the blanket over herself, covering herself completely. A short while later, a soft snoring sound came from inside the "spring roll."

Su Mo didn't care about Tranton's "language barrier." As long as his master didn't interfere with him or dictate things, Su Mo was quite willing to help him fulfill his wishes, after all, they had signed a contract.

As an honest and reliable young man, one must of course be honest and trustworthy.

"Alright, now that the children are asleep..." Su Mo whispered in the woman's ear.

Ten minutes later.

The room was quiet. Su Mo leaned against the car door, his head slightly lowered, lost in thought.

Tranton was wrapped in the blanket, and no snoring could be heard, so it was unclear whether he was asleep or awake.

As for the alluring woman, she huddled in a corner, anxiously awaiting her fate. Was she trying to escape from the devil's clutches?

She really didn't have the ability or the courage to try, so she could only passively wait for the verdict.

From the woman's brief but detailed description, Su Mo gained a slight understanding of this world.

As expected, the technological level of this world is not very advanced, roughly comparable to Europe during the Industrial Revolution on Earth. The most advanced weapons are cannons and flintlock muskets, which are of poor quality and frequently explode. The most common means of transportation is horse-drawn carriages, and trains seem to still be under development.

Su Mo is currently located on a small, isolated island overseas, belonging to the British Empire. The British Empire's territory includes a large island and several surrounding islands; according to the woman's description, it is the only country in this world.

Beyond the British Empire lies a vast ocean, with no other continents or countries discovered so far.

This island is a secret location within the British Empire, used to study supernatural things—such as summoning demons.

According to the woman's description, these mysterious powers had always existed only in people's imaginations and in books, and had never been realized until today, when Su Mo appeared, which proved that demons really exist and can even be summoned.

This was a small step for Su Mo—the accelerator—but it was a giant leap for humanity in this world, a leap towards self-destruction.

There are many ways to summon demons, and various legends and rumors are used for experiments. Among them, the most widespread are the sacrifice of babies, young boys and girls, and the saying that the higher the bloodline, the better the effect.

Of course, offerings alone are not enough; a complex and precise magic circle and some miscellaneous materials are also needed.

In short, if this island were on modern Earth, it would be considered a depraved human experimentation site. Even in this world, it would still be an extremely perverse act, which is why it was chosen as the location on such an isolated island to avoid detection.

Aside from the various eccentric and somewhat abnormal "experimental personnel" on the island, there are only managers like the one trembling with fear in front of you, as well as "sacrifices" like Tranton and slaves who are nothing at all.

Although Tranton was born into a noble family, a fallen nobleman is worse off than a chicken. After his parents died, this sole heir was sent here by some people through abnormal means to become a sacrifice.

The outside world only knew that the young master of the Worbs family had gone missing.

Although Tranton was a bit old, his noble lineage made him an asset, and the island's leader gritted his teeth and took the risk.

Each experiment to summon a demon is not a simple matter; it requires a great deal of time to prepare, sometimes even taking half a year.

Tranton was lucky; when he was sent to the island, the previous experiment had just ended in failure, less than three days prior. So, Tranton was imprisoned. Logically, a noble's disciple whose death was certain would not receive any special treatment on this island.

However, Tranton had an androgynous and adorable face, and on his very first day on the island, he caught the eye of an important figure on the island—yes, the very same Mrs. Liz who is now huddled in the corner, trembling.

Thus, Tranton embarked on a path of no return, forced to wear women's clothing every day. As for what other unknown things happened, Su Mo was too lazy to ask, and Madam Liz wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal them and anger Tranton, who might not even be sleeping.

According to Lady Liz, a recent experiment was nearing completion; only the final step remained before the demon could be summoned through sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Transon, their most crucial sacrifice, somehow beat them to it.

Lady Liz was also puzzled by this. Her main responsibility on the island was not experimentation, but she knew how complex and difficult it was to prepare for a demon summoning.

How did Tranton, who was imprisoned and only released when necessary, manage to summon a demon by having so-called magic circles inscribed on his body?

Of course, this question can only be kept deep in Mrs. Liz's heart for now.

"So it's not just women's clothing after all," Su Mo sighed, seemingly a little disappointed.

"What's the difference between this and Black Butler..." Su Mo seemed to be contemplating life with a serious expression, but in reality, he was complaining in his heart, "Such a similar script, could it be that the mastermind is the British royal family? And there's an androgynous angel by his side, no, this seems to be a TV original."

Letting his thoughts wander, Su Mo walked to the bedside and lifted the covers.

"Did you kill that woman?" Tranton sat up abruptly.

"No rush, take your time. This woman still has a purpose," Su Mo said calmly.

He was completely unfamiliar with this island, and operating on foreign soil, having an inside man who was already terrified would definitely make the operation much easier.

“I can give you time, and I can let you act on your own, but you must help me take revenge! Otherwise, I will never hand over my soul to you.” Tranton stared at Su Mo and said, word by word.

"Yes, yes," Su Mo replied casually. "So, you originally planned for me to be your butler?"

“That’s right. I will leave this island, return to the Empire to inherit the Worbus family, and then slowly search for the murderer.” Tranton nodded. He wasn’t just a typical immature teenager; the fact that he could summon a demon ahead of time in this environment showed he was no ordinary person.

"A butler it is."

A wicked smile appeared on Su Mo's lips. "Then, from now on, please call me—Sebastian Garmad, my young master."

“Sebastian Gamoud, a strange name,” Tranton murmured, without any joy on his face.

"Young Master" should be a respectful title, but coming from the mouth of this devil, coupled with that wicked smile, it sounded utterly mocking.

"By the way, young master, would you be interested in changing your name to Charles? Charles Worbus, how about that name?" Su Mo continued to indulge his wicked sense of humor.

“No.” Tranton refused outright. As a nobleman, how could he change his name?

Su Mo said without any regret, "It's a real pity. It would be quite interesting if the young master were willing to change his name."

"Alright, take me away from this island. Can you do that?" Tranton said, somewhat annoyed.

"Probably," Su Mo's answer made Tranton very uneasy. "But it will take some time."

“I can wait,” Tranton said in a deep voice.

"Then focus on recovering from your injuries. I'll go out and scout ahead." Su Mo walked to Madam Liz's side and performed a flawless bow. "Beautiful lady, would you mind accompanying me?"

Mrs. Liz stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to comprehend why the demon who had just exuded boundless malice had suddenly transformed into a gentleman.

Although this gesture may seem a bit odd, the aristocratic demeanor it exudes is truly captivating.

But when she met Su Mo's cold, emotionless gaze, Lady Liz suddenly realized that no matter how perfect the man's movements were or how warm his smile was, it couldn't change the fact that he was a devil.

"Looks like you're still getting used to it." Seeing Mrs. Liz's brief moment of distraction, Su Mo was quite satisfied. Back then, he was a teacher at the Royal Academy of Etiquette in England. The culture of this world is very similar to that of England. With a little understanding, he could perfectly integrate into this world.

Leading the seemingly composed Mrs. Liz to the door, Su Mo suddenly turned around, took out a black object from his pocket, and threw it next to Tranton.

"What is this?" Tranton was taken aback.

"A flintlock pistol from hell. I think with your intelligence, young master, you'll soon learn how to use it." Su Mo led Madam Liz out of the room.

"A flintlock musket from hell...?"

Tranton touched the cold barrel of the gun and muttered something under his breath.

"Is this underground?" Su Mo asked as he stepped out of the room. Outside was a narrow passage, at the end of which was a spiral staircase leading upwards.

“This is the Tower of Sacrifice, half above ground and half underground,” Lady Liz said immediately. “Young Master Tranton is the most important priest, so he is specially imprisoned at the bottom of the tower to prevent any accidents from happening.”

"Oh, how much do you know about summoning demons?" Su Mo continued to ask.

"Not much, all I know is that this time it seems a new method has been found..." Lady Liz didn't continue. Clearly, this new method had succeeded, and succeeded too much, so much so that Tranton alone had successfully summoned the demon.

As they moved upwards, a series of hurried footsteps and shouts reached Su Mo and Lady Liss's ears.

The outside, or rather the upper levels, seemed to be in complete chaos.

"What happened?" Lady Liz was taken aback and looked at Su Mo. In her opinion, the only one capable of causing chaos was the demon in front of her.

"Don't look at me, it's none of my business," Su Mo said innocently. If nothing unexpected happens, a similar chaotic scene will likely occur later, and Su Mo will be the one responsible.

But that's something for later; right now, Su Mo hasn't even met the third person in this world.

The chaos mentioned above has nothing to do with him.

There was no need for Su Mo and the others to rack their brains to figure out what had happened. After walking a few more steps up the spiral staircase, they saw a person rushing towards them in a panic.

"Stop! What happened?!" Mrs. Liz immediately demanded.

The person didn't react at all, continuing to yell and charge forward with a look of terror on their face, heading straight for the two of them, seemingly intending to knock them aside.

Su Mo slightly shifted his body, raised his foot, and swept it away, kicking the man who rushed in front of him aside. Naturally, there were no handrails or railings on this spiral staircase. The man swayed and fell cleanly to the bottom of the tower, his terrified scream abruptly cut short.

"Let's hurry up, it looks like there's going to be a good show." Su Mo smiled and quickened his pace.

Mrs. Liz, of course, dared not slack off and gritted her teeth to keep up.

After passing through a wooden door, the two entered a room where several corpses lay, and blood slowly flowed on the stone slabs.

"A dinner knife?" Su Mo was stunned when he saw the dinner knife on the corpse's forehead.

Mrs. Liz was also momentarily stunned. The bright dinner knife was indeed quite sharp, but it wasn't sharp enough to pierce a person's skull and take their life.

How much power would be needed to reach that level?

"This... is the imposter going to meet the real deal? This is unfolding too quickly, it's a bit unsettling." Su Mo said with a smile, but his expression showed no panic. Instead, he continued walking towards the top of the tower with great interest.

As they walked further up the road, they encountered more and more corpses, all of them killed by a gleaming dinner knife. The screams from above gradually subsided, eventually fading into silence.

Mrs. Liz's cheeks trembled uncontrollably, and she could barely move her feet: "Could it be another demon?"

She couldn't fathom how a human could accomplish such a feat. Now that one demon had appeared before her, the emergence of a second didn't seem impossible.

"Oh, so smart. Would you be interested in following my young master?" Su Mo stopped and turned around, smiling as he spoke.

"Uh—" Mrs. Liz opened her mouth but did not answer.

"By the way, who are the people at the top of the tower?" Su Mo continued to ask.

“Joyce is in charge of the island. He performs all the rituals for summoning demons,” Lady Liz said.

"Is that so? Then I'll take my leave. This guy can't be killed; I still have a use for him." With that, Su Mo suddenly quickened his pace and soon disappeared from Madam Liz's sight.

After hesitating for a moment, Lady Liz gritted her teeth and followed with difficulty. This was an isolated island, where only two ships would arrive every two months, carrying new supplies and offerings.

The ship just left yesterday, and it won't dock again for another two months. Even if we escape now, we can't escape the next two months of death.

As for what she might do to her master, Trandon, that was completely outside of Lady Liz's considerations. That enormous, cold, lifeless black creature in the room might very well be the devil's pet.

Moreover, with the flintlock pistol from hell left for Tranton, Mrs. Liz felt she had no chance whatsoever.

Leaving aside Lady Liz's despair, Su Mo had already rushed to the top room of the not-so-tall tower.

"Oh, are there any miscellaneous fish left?" Just as Su Mo stepped into the room, a voice rang in his ears, and at the same time, a cold light flashed before his eyes.

The sharp blade pierced the wall behind him, its end still trembling, the gleaming knife exuding a cold aura.

"You actually avoided it?" The owner of the voice sounded surprised and turned to look at Su Mo.
