From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"The King of Comedy is back!"

As Valmont pulled on the puppet Monkey King's legs, a purple magic halo surrounded both the puppet and Valmont, transforming the puppet into the Monkey King and Valmont into the puppet.

"Valon!"

"Boss!"

"Our leader has been turned into a puppet!"

Afen, Lasu, and Zhou San stared wide-eyed, their disbelief followed by a surge of anger.

"Hey, you little devil dragon, you promised Valmont!"

"You killed him? That's no fun."

"You're just like your father, you never keep your word!"

As they spoke, the three of them subtly surrounded the little demon dragon.

The Monkey King jumped out of the encirclement, sat on a nearby sofa, and pulled out a banana from somewhere, watching the scene with great interest: "Ha, I love watching a good show!"

"Oh? You want to rebel?"

The demon dragon sneered, unleashing the dragon-shaped demonic energy within him, causing the three to burst into flames and kneel down. The intense pain made them immediately beg for mercy.

Rasu: "I'm sorry, esteemed boss, we were wrong!"

Zhou: "We acted a little... impulsively just now."

Afen: "Please forgive us. Actually, Valmont and we only have an employer-employee relationship. We are not that close."

"Watch your words from now on."

The demon dragon wouldn't make the same mistake. When it bestowed demonic energy upon the three, it had already cast a spell: anyone who dared to betray them would suffer the agony of being burned alive. "Also, I'm not like my father, the most trustworthy! But there's one thing you need to know: only after you've completed the mission I've given you can you leave with Valmont!"

"Alright, what else do you want us to do?" Zhou asked the little demon dragon. "We've already found all the talismans for you."

"That's for my father."

The demon dragon sneered, "Now, I want you to go to Japan, find a deck of cards, and then find ten Ghost Masks."

When the Holy Lord first emerged from Hell, he collected a mask, but he did not know the whereabouts of the remaining masks.

After the Holy Lord was sealed away, the demon dragon once thought of collecting the Shadow Masks and controlling all the Shadow Legion. However, when collecting other magical items, the plan was put on hold because the righteous side almost had a great mage who could steal the demon's demonic energy.

Furthermore, the memories of the past thirty or forty years are insignificant compared to the nearly one thousand years of memories in this life, so the help of those playing cards is still needed to find the Ghost Mask.

"Oh, poor Valmont."

Ah Fen picked up Valmont's puppet, stuffed it into his pocket, and said to the little devil dragon, "If we complete the mission, can we turn Valmont back?"

"no problem!"

The little devil dragon readily agreed.

"Then it's settled."

Ah Fen, La Su, and Zhou exchanged a glance and immediately went to take action.

"Hehe, aren't you afraid they'll play pranks on you?" The Monkey King chuckled, putting his arm around the devilish little dragon's shoulder. "I think all three of them have a talent for being comedians."

"The dark energy is on our side!"

The little demon dragon's face was filled with confidence, then his whole body trembled, and a mist appeared in his reddish-brown eyes, followed by a scene of a carousel in an Australian amusement park. "Alright, it's time for us to take action. The seven demons have already activated the demonic energy they left behind in the human world!"

And you, Monkey King, will become the vessel for that demonic energy, becoming—

The Ninth Demon!

Upon hearing this, the Monkey King flicked his sleeves, changed into a set of children's clothes, and the magic wand in his hand transformed into a giant lollipop. He said, "Boss, are you going to take me to the amusement park? That would be wonderful! I love riding the carousel the most!"

"Oh? It seems you can sense demonic energy too!" The demon dragon's eyes were full of meaning, after all, he hadn't said anything about going to the amusement park, let alone the carousel.

"Demonic energy? No, not at all. Let me tell you a secret—"

The Monkey King licked his lollipop, quickly leaned close to the Demon Dragon's ear, and whispered, "Under certain special circumstances, I can control mind reading!"

Of course, I wouldn't use it under normal circumstances, because human thoughts are too complicated!

Having all sorts of random thoughts gives me a headache!

But all you could think about just now was the amusement park!

It would be hard not to sense it!

"is it?"

The little demon dragon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then commanded, "From now on, you are not allowed to pry into my thoughts!"

"No problem, boss, you're in charge."

The Monkey King changed into a military uniform, gave the demon dragon a French salute, and then spoke softly to the air beside him, as if breaking the fourth wall, saying, "But people love to pry into other people's hearts, don't they? My dear friends."

Demon Dragon: "..."

I really don't know if using this "puppet" as a vessel for demonic energy was the right choice! I now seriously suspect that once this guy obtains all the demonic energy, he won't become a demon solely focused on destroying the world, but rather he'll coat the entire universe in icing!

But apart from the Monkey King, the Demon Dragon dared not let anyone else bear the demonic energy, otherwise that person's first target would definitely be himself!

in contrast.

Because of its "comedic" nature, even if the Monkey King combines the seven great demonic energies with the dark energy of human nature represented by Tara, there is a chance that he will not harm the Monkey King.

As Ah Fen left the manor, he took out Valon's puppet from his pocket, fiddled with his arm, and sighed, "Don't worry, we've worked for you for so many years, we'll definitely help you break the curse."

"I feel like something's not right."

Rasu suddenly said, "Look, that monkey could move when it was a puppet, and the power came from Chen Long. Logically speaking, since the curse was transferred to Valmont, Valmont should also be able to move, instead of becoming a real puppet."

"Don't overthink it. We don't need to understand magic so thoroughly," Zhou patted Rasu on the shoulder, trying to comfort her.

"Even if there is a real problem, we can't tell the Demon Dragon."

Ah Fen said, "Don't forget, that little devil dragon is the son of the Holy Lord. Just like his father, he only knows how to make empty promises to us."

Although he's a bit better than the Holy Lord and pays us wages, he's turned us into this state. Apart from the arms dealers, no one else dares to take our money!

We simply can't enjoy life like real millionaires!

Now, the Demon Dragon has even turned the G-Society's 'conspiracy' with the Lizardmen into reality.

Zhou said, "I need to correct something. It seems that the G-E-Society was founded by the Demon Little Dragon, so this 'conspiracy theory' was true from the beginning."

"That's not the point."

Ah Fen stuffed the Valon puppet back into his arms and went to the helicopter that the G-Society members had prepared. "Stop talking, get on the plane, we're going to Japan."

“We’re going to Japan again. The last time we went to Japan was to release the Holy Lord’s elder brother,” Rasu said. “That green-haired Pogan.”

"Isn't Zhou Lan the real boss?"

Zhou scratched his head.

"We don't need to understand the relationships between demons so clearly."

Ah Fen interrupted their conversation, "Also, this time we're going to find a deck of magic cards..."

# Chapter 813 "Planning" (Part 1)

"Brother Jiang, we have failed."

Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and Chen Long returned to Old Man's Antique Shop and reported the situation.

Even though Afen, Lasu, and Zhou were given magic by the demon dragon and became lizardmen, their strength was not great. Not to mention Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying, even Chen Long, who could only mobilize his Qi and had not yet completed the Small Heavenly Circuit, could still exchange blows with those three.

Those three were unable to perfectly control their magic.

But things took an unexpected turn—

The building where District Thirteen was located was of questionable quality, or perhaps it was because it had been blasted open by Han Bing's crystal cannon. When Lu Jin arrived, it was already teetering on the brink of collapse, forcing him to temporarily abandon his fight against the lizardman trio and instead choose to rescue Duanmu Ying and the others.

Chen Long was responsible for stopping the trio and initially had the upper hand. However, when the puppet monkey king in his hand suddenly came to life, he panicked and not only failed to snatch back the three talismans of rat, horse, and dragon from the trio, but the trio also took away the puppet monkey king.

It was as if some unseen force was blessing the trio.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a balance of yin and yang."

Having understood the workings of the fundamental laws of this world, Jiang Liu was not surprised. Even if he went in person and managed to prevent the talisman from being taken away, the representative of the black energy would be strengthened in another way. In fact, the power of the demons was still rapidly increasing at this stage, in order to achieve a balance with Jiang Liu.

Therefore, the greater the proportion of the power controlled by the Black Qi faction that they are aware of, the better.

"Moreover, we also have a pair of eyes on the side of the black aura."

Jiang Liu said with a chuckle.

"Eyes? Who's that?" Xiaoyu guessed. "Did you plant a spy among the demons? That's so cool!"

"Is it that puppet monkey king?"

Lu Jin immediately guessed the target, "It's become a puppet, yet it can still move. It must be your ability, Brother Jiang, right?"

"When Chen Long turned back from the puppet, my nine-aperture talisman and the corresponding Qi were transferred into the puppet's body, allowing him to move in the form of a puppet, but he could not use his abilities."

Jiang Liu held up a finger and said with a smile, "Even if the Monkey King is resurrected, the Nine Apertures Talisman will remain in his body, allowing him to share his perspective with me without his knowledge."

After all, I realized the security was a problem the first time I went to District 13, so I was wondering if I could use a clever plan against them, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly...

However, since the Monkey King puppet has already been taken away, let me take a look at it—”

At this point, Jiang Liu inwardly observed the world and then looked outward at the world, his eyes blossoming like lotus flowers, reflecting the brilliant starry sky, becoming a wise eye. He then closed his eyes and said to everyone, "The Monkey King has been resurrected again. This time he used Valon's innate Qi, and the little demon dragon is looking for two things."

It's also a ghost mask, a magical item that can summon people dressed like ninjas and move through shadows.

There are ten decks in total, one commander-in-chief and nine generals. It originated in Japan and requires a special type of playing card to find.

"It's a Japanese mummy!"

Tru shuddered and uttered a single word. Seeing everyone's gaze, he quickly explained, "When I was little, my mother told me stories about Japanese mummies. They were demons with horns on their heads, and if children misbehaved, the Japanese mummies would eat their souls."

"Just a story to comfort children."

The old man didn't take it seriously, but considering the existence of the ghost mask, he did take it to heart and said, "It's just that I don't know much about Japanese legends."
