Problem Girls Strategy

Sylvia, who was hiding nearby, saw that he came alone today and almost couldn't suppress the urge to attack him. However, when she thought of his strange teleportation magic, her brain cooled instantly and she chose to continue to endure.

What she didn't expect was that Jiang Zao didn't leave after the worship, but wandered around the shrine, muttering to himself: "Cat-eared God, I met a strange demon covered in fake flesh before. The life force on his body was simply disgusting."

This little guy has no magic power in his body, but he can actually sense the force of life. Could he be a half-elf?

Sylvia wasn't sure if he was simply complaining or doubting that she was in the shrine, so she could only rely on her ability as a chameleon lizard to shrink into a corner and let Jiang Zao point fingers at her.

"It's amazing that she can walk around in such a stitched-up state. Isn't she ashamed?"

I am the famous [Synthetic Beast], what is a Stitched Monster!

"By the way, I remember she also said that my cute little cat is uneducated and looks down on people." When Jiang Zao said this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and murderous intent continued to surge around him, almost scaring Sylvia to jump up, thinking that she was discovered by him.

"She may not know that I am a very careful person."

Red flares flashed above the shrine, and Sylvia's pupils shrank suddenly, and sweat poured down her forehead.

When did he use that magic item?

Now even if she wanted to leave, it was too late. More teleportation magic circles appeared around Jiang Zao than before, and an invisible barrier enveloped the entire shrine.

In layman's terms, it means "closing the door and beating the dog."

After putting the Red Demon Summoner back into the storage space, Jiang Zao looked straight at the fence at the edge of the shrine: "Hey, [Synthetic Beast] Sylvia, how long are you going to lie there?"

"When did you find out I was here?" Sylvia removed her disguise and straightened up with a gloomy face: "The chameleon's disguise can obviously avoid most detection magic."

"The mark of the Flying Thunder God will never... ah, sorry, I got it wrong. In addition to defense, my spatial displacement can also leave a mark on the target. Do you understand what I mean?"

"So you knew from the beginning that I was hiding here?"

"Well...just understand it this way." Jiang Zao would not tell her the perception range of the mark. If they had not come to the shrine by chance, he really would not know where she was hiding.

Seeing that the Red Demons with magical power surging all over their bodies gradually surrounded her, Sylvia's posture gradually changed. She planned to fight this group of people to the death in her strongest form. While the barrier prevented her from escaping, it also restricted these people's teleportation magic. Without this important means of displacement, she was confident that she could break through.

Jiang Zao signaled the others to retreat temporarily, and said to her puzzled look: "Don't be so excited, I don't want to fight with you now, I just want to figure out a problem that has been bothering me for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Sylvia changed back into human form with caution. She could use this opportunity to delay for a while and accumulate strength: "Tell me, what's the problem."

"From what I understand, as a synthetic beast, you strengthen yourself by constantly devouring other creatures, right?"

"Humph, so what? You're not so naive as to want to ask about my weaknesses, are you?"

Jiang Zao waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't ask such boring questions. I'm just curious, when you devour a creature, is it dead or alive?"

Sylvia looked at him sarcastically as if she had heard some big joke: "Do you care whether the food you eat is dead or alive?"

"You also like to eat breadmen, that's fine." Jiang Zao raised a finger: "The real question is, you devoured so many creatures to evolve, do you still have a part of your body that belongs to you? What about your spirit?"

"What a stupid question. This body of mine is the most perfect masterpiece, integrating the advantages and abilities of many creatures." Sylvia stroked her cheek intoxicatedly. "I am them, and they are me."

"Then the last question, who are you?"

"Me? Of course I'm Sylvia!"

"No, no, no, this is just a name, a code name. You can be called Sylvia, and others can be called Sylvia, and everyone else can be called Sylvia. After taking away this code name, who are you?"

"I don't know, and there's no need to know." Feeling that the strength she had accumulated was almost enough, Sylvia changed her form again and tried to end the boring conversation.

"This is a very important matter. If you don't even know who you are, how can you prove that you are you and not some creature you once devoured? Maybe it's just living with memories that don't belong to it."

"Memories can lie, and these lies are often the hardest to detect. Just like a stone on the side of the road, if I don't tell you it's called Geodude, do you know who it is? You don't know, so the moment I say its name, in your memory, it's Geodude."

"When someone asks you the name of this stone, you will say 'It's called Geodude', but how can you be sure that it is called this name? I gave you the memory of it. If I am lying, then this memory is false, and you... just carry a false memory that does not belong to you."

"So... let's go back to the original question." Jiang Zao pointed at Sylvia's heart and said word by word: "Who are you?"

In an instant, every cell and every organ in her body seemed to have a will of its own, and they were all clamoring that they were the true cadres of the Demon King's Army and the real [synthetic beast].

Sylvia, who had been able to maintain her snake-woman form, began to swell gradually. Her flesh decayed and mutated in the struggle of consciousness. Her two arms even grew human faces and they were fighting each other with swearing.

Chapter 368: Shocked, the wife cried because...

The Red Demons around looked at Jiang Zao with awe. It was the first time for them to see someone who could talk a cadre of the Demon King's Army into insanity and make him question himself.

This set of rhetoric may not have much effect on ordinary people, but for [Synthetic Beast] Sylvia, it is simply tailored for her.

Seeing that she was about to destroy herself in the struggle between many consciousnesses, the hatred in her heart for having beaten her to a near-death state and forced to absorb the female pigman unified these consciousnesses at the critical moment.

Sylvia picked up the eyeball that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it back into her dark eye socket, then roared madly at Jiang Zao: "As long as I can kill you, it doesn't matter who I am!"

"Well, it seems that my ability of talking is not good enough." He shrugged disappointedly, and his right hand behind his back stretched to the side and immersed in [Space Displacement].

His movements were so fast that time seemed to stop. The shadow of the dagger that made Sylvia's back chill was stabbed into her waist at some point. Under the astonished gazes of the Red Demons, her figure gradually disappeared.

"Jiang Zao...what was that horrible thing you were holding just now..." Piao Sanlang swallowed hard and asked his son-in-law in a trembling voice: "I broke out in cold sweats when I saw it."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. This power will only be used against the enemy."

"Ah... Yeah, that's good, that's good."

My son-in-law's strength is even more terrifying than I thought. It's better not to give him this financial assistance list for the time being.

Silently putting the list back into his pocket in order to satisfy his personal desire for magic research, Piao Sanlang decided that he would at least wait until his daughter gave birth to a granddaughter before talking about this matter. By then, even considering his status as a grandfather, Jiang Zao should provide him with financial support.

After comforting his father-in-law, Jiang Zao thanked the rest of the Red Demons and used [Space Replacement] to leave the shrine.

As soon as he got home, he happily picked up Mimi and spun around, making his sister-in-law giggle.

Seeing how happy he was, Kokoro asked him curiously, "Master, did anything good happen?"

"Well, I killed Sylvia. Now you don't have to worry about her attacking you and the factory."

"Are you strong enough now to kill the Demon King's army cadres silently and alone?" Kailu walked around him in a cat-like manner: "It must be because of the cheating magic of [Space Replacement]."

Jiang Zao bent down, put Mimi down, and let her go eat snacks by herself. Then he stretched out his claws towards the pair of furry animal ears. Unfortunately, the owner of the cat ears did not intend to let him touch them so easily, so he could only start a chase with her.

The two of them circled around the living room several times, and the chase ended because Huihui was annoyed by the noise and stretched out her foot to trip Kael.

In addition to the magic of [Space Replacement], the time stop of the substitute [World] played an important role in the instant killing of Sylvia. Otherwise, he could not guarantee that he could directly stab Sylvia with the small dagger condensed by [Reverse Life Force].

After solving the sudden attack by the Demon King's army cadres, the Food Palace left the Scarlet Demon Village with reluctance.

I'm so tired, so alone

Piao Saburo patted his sobbing wife's shoulder and comforted her softly, "Dear, Huihui is not going to come back. There is no need to be so sad."

"I'm not thinking about that stupid daughter. Do you know how well we ate during the time Jiang Zao was here?!" Wei Wei cried even louder when she thought that the days of eating big meals every day would end today.

Pekolim whispered as she walked down the street: "Meihui, your mother's crying can be heard from here..."

Hui Hui's eyes were slightly red. She had never felt her mother's longing for her so strongly. She resisted the urge to look back. She lowered the brim of her hat and walked forward: "It's not like I'm not going back. Why are you crying so loudly?"

Kokoro and Kailu, who have very sensitive hearing, had strange expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. They decided not to tell Huihui the truth, otherwise the touch in her heart would only turn into grief and anger.

This time when leaving the Red Devil Village, Jiang Zao planned to go directly back to Landsol. With the amulet given by the goddess Eris and [Space Replacement] in hand, he could fully guarantee the safety of the girls. It was also time to go back and settle accounts with [What Towards Death Is Not].

Of course, they still walked towards Landsol at their usual leisurely pace, enjoying the scenery along the way. After all, they were in a hurry on the way here because they were worried about something happening in the Red Devil Village, and they had no time to enjoy the scenery.

To his surprise, as soon as he returned to Landsor, the group attracted a lot of attention. He learned from passers-by that during the month when they were slowly returning to Landsor, the Red Demon Tribe had already artistically processed and widely publicized the story of Jiang Zao killing a cadre of the Demon King's army.

In their opinion, if no one praises such achievements, it will be a regret for the entire continent.

The originally simple one-shot kill process was transformed into a battle between the entire guild and Sylvia for dozens of days, destroying more than a dozen hills, and finally working together under the power of "love" to kill the evil Demon King's army cadres.

It was a clichéd story but one that was recognized by everyone. Naturally, the king sent a notice hoping that the Food Hall could enter the palace to receive an award. For their heroic deeds, Landsol would hold a ceremony in the royal city a week later to celebrate the death of another cadre of the Demon King's army that had scourged the continent.

Pekorim stood in the bedroom of the guild hut, looking solemnly through the window towards the palace, her small hands tightly gripping the hilt of the sword.

I won't run away anymore. This time... I will take back everything I lost!

Compared to the heavy atmosphere in her room, the living room outside was much more lively. Huihui was holding a half-person-high iron bucket and sipping the Coke inside with a straw. In the story processed by the Crimson Demon Clan, she, a great magician who only knew [Explosion Magic], dealt a fatal blow to Sylvia at the critical moment.

The more widely the story spread, the more people would know about her heroic deeds, which almost drove her crazy with joy.

"Hiccup~" Huihui smiled foolishly as if she was drunk and put her legs on Jiang Zao: "Do you think my name as the Dark Explosion Magician will be sung across the continent?"

"How can you enjoy this false honor with such a clear conscience?"

"What does it matter... He's my boyfriend and he has no objection, so why can't I accept this honor?"

"I would rather keep it secret. After all, becoming famous means being exposed to the enemy." Jiang Zao didn't expect to be pushed to the front by the Red Demons at this time, but he had more cards than before, so he was not that worried. "I still have to go to the palace to claim my reward tomorrow. Go to bed early, don't make a fool of yourself then."

“Don’t worry!” Huihui patted her chest. “I’ve memorized the plot by heart. There will be no mistakes.”

Chapter 369: If you don't play with flying knives, you will have no soul

Landsol was filled with thick fog in the early morning. Huihui yawned with tears in her eyes. “Why do we have to go to the palace so early? Do all the royal family members get up so early?”

"Who knows... By the way, what is the king's name? Should we call him Your Majesty or King?"

Facing Jiang Zao's question, the other three were unable to answer, only Pekolim replied softly: "The king's name is Sopemu von Astraea, we can just call him His Majesty."

"I see. Speaking of which, there are still some cultural situations that Kokoro doesn't know about. It's really rare."

"Well... this is my fault, Master. I will read all the books on the bookshelf again when I get back!"

"No problem, I'll be with you then."

Jiang Zao looked at Pekolim who was not in a very good mood and said, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy."

"Nothing much...our weapons are in your storage space, right?"

"Well, it would be troublesome to meet the king with weapons."

"makes sense."

The group of people came to the pure white marble door, talking and laughing. The soldiers on both sides slowly opened the door to let them in. The luxurious royal palace with blue and white as the main color was behind the door.

They took a step forward, but suddenly they stepped on empty air and fell into the hole. Fortunately, Jiang Zao reacted in time, put on the [Elemental Armor] and caught them steadily, and returned the weapons in the storage space to their respective owners.

"Clap clap clap."

Applause echoed in the empty hall. A silver-haired orc slowly walked out of the darkness and sat contentedly on the throne that represented royal power. A hint of mockery appeared in his red orc eyes: "Isn't this the stray dog ​​that escaped from my hands in the beginning? Why is he running back again?"

Just from the appearance, Jiang Zao could confirm that the orcs in front of him were the targets of assimilation by [What is Towards Death], and the light emitted by the amulet given by Eris further confirmed its identity.

"I didn't expect that I would run into the final BOSS just by coming here to collect the reward. I am really lucky. But I remember...I was not the only one who ran away. Didn't you run away too?"

His taunting did not attract the other party's attention. Instead, it kept its eyes on its companion behind it. He turned around and saw that the person being stared at was Pekolim.

"Qiang!"

She drew her great sword and pointed the tip of the sword at the orc on the throne. She said firmly, "I came back this time to take back everything I lost!"

"Wow... Congratulations on your evolution from a homeless dog to a boastful wild dog, Princess Eustiana."

"Princess!?"

"Pekorim??"

Facing the shocked looks of her companions, Pekorim smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry... I kept it a secret from you for so long, but... I'm now Pekorim of the Gourmet Palace! Not Princess Eustiana!"

"Humph, it's just a ridiculous game." The orc sitting on the throne changed his posture, propped up his cheek with the back of his hand and looked at Kailu below: "The chess piece I abandoned is not dead. If I had known this, I should have killed you when I destroyed your hometown. I don't know how much time it took me to train you into a qualified thug."

"Stop chirping. My past has nothing to do with me anymore. It would be nice to settle the score with you!"

"Interesting, you dare to contradict me even though you have lost your memory. Whatever...everything will return to nothingness soon." The silver-haired orc stood up from the throne, opened his arms and looked up at the sky: "My name is Batong, and I will be the king of the world soon. The earth will tremble because of me, the sky will change under my will, and all life will bow down at my feet."

"As for those false gods, I will slit their throats, let their blood drip from the sky, and become a truly perfect person."

Jiang Zao's face was calm, and he didn't even pull out the Void weapons from Huihui and Kailu's bodies. He was waiting for an opportunity, and this opportunity was also the moment that [What Towards Death] desired the most: "Hey, Batong, can you ask your other good companion to come out and have a chat?"

The crimson eyes of the beast glanced at him, and the corners of its mouth curled up with a hint of amusement: "Stranger... I forgot you were still here. I'm afraid your idea of ​​meeting another me will be in vain. It's a little busy now."

"From the sound of your voice, it seems like you guys get along well?"

"That is nature, without which the perfection I seek is but a blank sheet of paper."

Jiang Zao sat cross-legged in this tense atmosphere: "Can you tell me how Pekolim's parents are doing now?"

"Have you faced death honestly? Haha, just consider it a reward for knowing the true appearance of another me. I'll chat with you for a while." Batong was certainly not as kind as he said. It was just delaying time while being on guard against Jiang Zao's suspected ability to stop time.

Because its consciousness had not yet been fully integrated, it made a small mistake when sending out the invitation. It had originally intended to completely integrate and play with these little bugs in a domineering manner, but there was an error in the meeting time, causing it to come out before completing the integration.

Fortunately, these people wanted to get information about the hostages from it rather than start a war immediately, so Batong was naturally happy to continue chatting with them.

"You mean those two little bugs? Although I originally planned to eat their lives as my food, with the help of another me, I was able to control their consciousness and throw them into the dungeon. Maybe it would be a good idea to break the princess's hands and feet and let her family keep her company."

"It's okay as long as you're okay. As for breaking your limbs, I think you're the right person to do it." Jiang Zao stood up, holding the elemental sword in his hand.
