The male supporting character was actually myself.

His convulsing body collapsed to the ground, and the squad leader couldn't figure it out until his death—who was that person? How did he break through the ambush?

Recalling the eerie emptiness in the gunshot footage, he stretched one hand towards the mine and uttered muffled syllables from his throat, making a series of hoarse sounds, "Evil...demon..."

"Congratulations, you guessed right. The reward is sending you to hell." Jiang Chen revealed a devilishly seductive smile, looked down at the other party's dying eyes and sighed, "If you garrison troops had killed less and harmed fewer people, the aura of evil on your bodies wouldn't be so strong. I don't even need to use my magic to scan you; I can smell the stench on you from a long distance away."

He kicked the corpse that had twitched for a moment and then stopped moving, saying, "Even in death, it pollutes the soil; it's a filthy, useless thing."

The fluffy little thing lay on its host's shoulder, slowly licking its paws and chuckling, "Don't say that, host. After we're done, we'll drag it to the crematorium and burn it all. Maybe it can even be used as fertilizer if we scatter it on the ground."

“Who has the patience to drag her away and burn her? Let’s just throw her into the ravine and let the jackals and tigers eat her as a snack.” Jiang Chen continued to manipulate Qin Xiaoyao like a puppet without turning his head. “I heard that there are many wild animals in these deep mountains and forests. In the future, we won’t have to tear down the high walls. We can build a pristine wild forest park.”

The little white cat stroked its ears, looking completely bewildered. "Huh? But there are so many rich mines here, aren't we going to mine?"

"We won't need it for the next few decades. The Federal Headquarters is too greedy and has skinned District Twelve alive. The storage capacity is enough for decades to come."

Moreover, we need to eliminate a large number of parasites.

With the number of people decreasing sharply, technologies that were previously used in entertainment will be applied to daily life. After the shutdown ends, most people will have to leave their homes to support themselves and make a living by creating tangible value.

With fewer people and lower demand, over-exploitation can naturally be controlled.

Fluffy dumpling: (*︾▽︾)

It's so satisfying to be the devil! You can tell the good guys from the bad guys at a glance, and you can just go around killing without worrying about getting complaints...

The night lights flickered, and Qin Xiaoyao moved through the darkness like a ghost, sweeping through the mine garrison.

She was also afraid, especially when she saw so much blood gushing out after her throat was slit. Qin Xiaoyao almost screamed, but she held back.

Images of my mother's gruesome death flashed before my eyes; I thought of Ah Xiao; I thought of Teacher Li and all the girls who were abused by the stationed troops; the infants who were slaughtered for their amusement...

These are a group of executioners with blood on their hands; only by killing them can we avenge the dead!

Thinking about this, Qin Xiaoyao felt an indescribable sense of joy, as if something was being released that made her feel happy.

"Meow~" The fluffy ball noticed that something was wrong with the female lead and meowed to remind her: "Host, the protagonist's halo is getting brighter and brighter! Sure enough, her true halo is her dark and bloodthirsty nature."

Now that we've let her unleash her full power, her aura is starting to shine brightly. This girl isn't fair-skinned, and she's even more cunning than fair-skinned!

Jiang Chen took on the identity of the demon, but still couldn't see the halo it spoke of.

From the demon's perspective, Qin Xiaoyao is different from others because she has a contractual connection with him.

Perhaps because of the summoner, I couldn't see any of her attributes; on the contrary, others, as demons who could tempt humans to fall and harvest sinful souls, could see the different colored luster on her body at a glance.

"So what if he's heartless? As long as he doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately." He didn't seem to care much about it.

After all, in the original story, she was just a little girl who could only kill blood and gore with the help of demons. Even if she was ruthless, she couldn't do anything too bad without my help. Besides, Qin Xiaoyao was a very obedient and easy-to-fool child.

When the "lead actress" Qin Xiaoyao committed her first murder, the screen was filled with condemnations.

When he killed the second person, he was met with a barrage of insults.

However, as she killed more and more, including the third and fourth, until the mine garrison dormitory was filled with blood, the comments on the big screen fell silent.

All the spectators watched intently as the petite, ruthless girl, like a female assassin, wielded a dagger and swiftly slaughtered the garrison at the mine!

"Can anyone tell me if this is a massacre show?"

"It's chilling. Is this still a fashion show? Is Qin Xiaoyao even human?"

"What's even more frightening is that this show isn't rated, which means there are likely many children watching it on screen right now!"

"She's a monster! What did the garrison do wrong? They're protecting our safety and guarding those criminals, and yet they're being slaughtered like this, and the Federal Headquarters is just tolerating it!"

"But from Qin Xiaoyao's perspective, who has been exploited and slandered, these troops are the enemy. Don't forget that she is now a member of the rebel army."

"What exactly is the purpose of Federal Headquarters broadcasting this show? Is it to portray the rebel forces as powerful and capable of utterly defeating our army?"

"Damn it, who designed this show? Come out and commit suicide to atone for their sins!"

“Those sinners of Falling Moon City deserve to die. One person has written a petition in blood requesting the Federal Headquarters to launch a military strike against them, so that evil will be eradicated at its source…”

…………

The leader saw the numerous petitions on the screen requesting a military strike against Moonfall City, and a bitter smile crossed his face.

"I never expected this, I really never expected this..." He laughed so hard that the wrinkles on his face were trembling slightly.

Wasn't the purpose of selecting Qin Xiaoyao from Luoyue City precisely this?

Now that the goal has been achieved in this way, the whole world has spiraled out of control!

Even if the entire population supports the trial and massacre of Falling Moon City, what good will it do?

Now, even as the head of state, he has to wait for human orders to be relayed when dispatching troops. Falling Moon City is so far away that it's really impossible for him to reach it in the short term.

He watched as Qin Xiaoyao on the big screen began to finish off the wrongdoing, only belatedly realizing that his son had been wrongly accused.

"Go and inform General Gu Deqiang that he will assume the position of Director of the Federal Headquarters Security Bureau starting tomorrow." Ringing the bell to summon his assistant to his office, the leader said impatiently, "Also, please print out another copy of the appointment order for me. We'll release the news first thing tomorrow morning."

Oh dear, that child was wronged.

At first, when the strange occurrences were clumsy and unsettling, he assumed his son was plotting to seize power. It wasn't until a series of events involving superhuman abilities occurred that he realized the two sides had likely declared war from the very beginning when the game center was attacked.

Is it...

"Qin Xiaoyao?" The leader turned his gaze to the large screen, his eyes growing increasingly cold. "That's right, if we deduce it, there might only be this one possibility!"

She came from Luoyue City and claimed to be a descendant of the brave general Lu Wei.

The hidden and buried history, the strange changes that appeared at the beginning of the "Gone Bride" show, the attack on the game center but no source could be found, the self-destruction at the press conference, Qin Xiaoyao and her party who arrived in Luoyue City in just three days from thousands of miles away, the power outage in thirty-nine countries, and a single person massacring the garrison...

Previously, I was so shocked by the power outage and internet disruption that I couldn't connect the dots. But now, thinking about it, everything makes sense!

"Qin Xiaoyao, so it really was you who summoned the demon?" The leader stared intently at the not-so-pretty face on the screen, his well-maintained hands gripping the papers on the table tightly.

The thing I feared most has finally happened!

Now is the time to wage war against the demons. How can I use modern technology to defeat the demons and take control of the situation?

"What? A new appointment?" Gu Deqiang was still a little dazed when he was woken up from his sleep. When he heard that his father had appointed him as the director of the Federal Headquarters Security Bureau, he excitedly jumped out of bed.

As expected, the Demon Lord was absolutely right!

Turbulent times produce heroes; if the world were peaceful, where would one find the opportunity to distinguish oneself?

Sure enough, as soon as the electricity, communications, and internet were cut off, the old man had no other choice but to give me a second chance!

"I'm going to the Federal Headquarters right now." Gu Deqiang hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to the headquarters building.

The most advanced and stylish electromagnetic levitation cars are no longer usable, but fortunately, gasoline cars have not been completely phased out. He managed to get to the building in the shortest possible time and climbed to the sixteenth floor in one go.

"Deqiang, things have become very complicated now." The head of state dismissed his attendants and sat on the sofa to have a long talk with his son alone. "Your father has misunderstood and wronged you. Your father was wrong."

Gu Deqiang, who never expected his father to admit his mistake, was stunned. A few seconds later, his cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and he secretly praised the devilish man. At the same time, he was overjoyed to receive his father's apology.

He forced down his nervous excitement and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened?"

"Before this, I thought you were responsible for the leak of our secret talks and the attack on the game center." The leader sighed deeply, looking at the chandelier that barely had enough electricity for lighting.

Gu Deqiang raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of smugness in his heart. That has nothing to do with me!

The old man isn't completely senile; he immediately realized I couldn't possibly do that...

Fearing that his next words might frighten his son, the leader hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Now I understand. It was all a conspiracy, and it has nothing to do with you. Child, I'm afraid someone in this world has truly summoned a demon!"

Gu Deqiang: (；!＿!)

Yes, yes, that's right!

It is your own son before you who has summoned the Demon Lord!

Following the Holy Heavenly King, he is the second being in over three hundred years to be able to summon demons!

Lord Demon will help me ascend to the throne, achieve glorious glory, and be remembered for eternity!

"Although it's just my guess, it should be true." Seeing his son's stunned expression, the leader thought he was frightened by his words and shook his head with a wry smile, saying, "Don't panic or be afraid. Those emotions are meaningless in the face of absolute superhuman power."

Demons show no mercy to anyone other than obeying the summoner's orders.

The good news for us is that this is three hundred years in the future, in a technologically advanced modern era, not the time of the Holy King. Perhaps... with advanced technology, we can restrain the demons, and even defeat them!

Gu Deqiang suppressed his overly obvious shock and tried hard to hide his inner elation.

To keep the Demon Lord in check?

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly; his naive father had indeed held power for too long, to the point that he had forgotten the fragile nature of humanity.

With a wave of his hand, he can destroy the backup center that humanity has worked hard to build for more than ten years in just a few breaths. What makes you think you can compete with the Demon Lord?

Humans are so insignificant that they cannot even see His existence!

As a summoner, I have never seen His majesty, only heard His voice, while you—a bunch of pathetic reptiles who cannot see, touch, or hear the Demon Lord—do you really think you're so powerful just because you can make some guns and ammunition?

Having ridden on the backs of those good-for-nothings in District Twelve for so long, do they really think they're superior beings?

"Father, how do you know someone summoned a demon?" Gu Deqiang pressed, hoping to use this opportunity to find out if the Federal Headquarters had any supernatural inventions.

What if those twisted scientists actually create some weapon that can deal with the Demon Lord?

I need to figure out the details first.

"The reality is obvious." The leader, oblivious to the unusualness of his son's earnest questioning, said with a sense of desolation and helplessness, "You weren't at headquarters before, so you don't know the current situation."

According to the last images transmitted back by satellite before the signal was cut off, all 39 countries and 12 districts, including federal administrative cities, should have fallen, with no electricity, no network, and almost everything coming to a standstill.

Child, this is not something a human being can do.

Even the largest and most meticulously designed organization couldn't be destroyed so completely; only superhuman power could achieve that.

Father's deduction was correct!

Gu Deqiang felt a little smug; this was indeed something the Demon Lord had orchestrated with his help.

Those who don't act unless they've already made a move, and when they do, they go all out—that's what makes them worthy of being called demons!

"Father, don't worry too much. Believe that if we join forces, everything will be alright, and victory will belong to the Federation!" He straightened his chest, and his spirited demeanor made Gu Deqiang look nothing like a man in his fifties.

The leader nodded with a wry smile; at this point, all he could do was try his best and leave the rest to fate.

You have a good attitude, kid, but it's a pity you know nothing about supernatural powers.

An ominous premonition slowly gathered in his heart. The leader sat on the sofa in silence, but in his mind he was thinking about whether the father and son would have any way out if things got out of control.

Gu Deqiang smoked a cigarette, gazing out at the pitch-black night, imagining the wonderful expression his father would have upon learning he was a demon summoner when he ascended to the throne…
