The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Chloe quickly adjusted the camera, zooming in on her face, and said to Lulum, "Lulu, I seem to be on the human border right now. It looks like there was some kind of teleportation error... Don't worry, I'm safe here for now, but I don't know how to get back. Can you send someone to pick me up?"

When Lulum heard Chloe say she was on the human border, her heart clenched, but after Chloe told her not to worry, she remembered the scene she had just witnessed.

Chloe should be in a nicely decorated room right now... it looks like a hotel or something. There shouldn't be any problems for now, as long as she sends someone to pick Chloe up as soon as possible.

Lulum thought to herself, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, although Lulum couldn't see the "decorations" in the room clearly, the Demon King Myuukia, who was very sensitive to these "decorations," immediately realized where Chloe was... Good heavens, it's the Qingqu Hotel!

Incidentally, Tepera, who was also looking at the external communication screen, also noticed something strange... Why does it seem like he saw the "tool" that he was using yesterday?

However, because Chloe switched the camera too quickly, he didn't see it clearly and wasn't entirely sure.

"Lulu, I have some things to take care of. Please send someone to pick me up right away! I'll hang up now!"

After Chloe chatted with Lulum for a while, and Lulum agreed to send someone to pick her up immediately, Chloe suddenly turned her head to look to the side in the video, and then hung up the call with a somewhat flustered expression.

"Wait... I haven't even asked you if you know your exact location yet..."

Looking at the suddenly disconnected communication, Lulum murmured helplessly.

However, from Lulum's senses, she also knew Chloe's approximate location... The first human city she encountered after passing through the Star Forest directly east of the Demon King's Castle was probably in that location.

However, who should she send to pick up Chloe? She couldn't leave the Demon King's castle for the time being, and she really didn't have a suitable candidate...

While Lulum was thinking, Miukia suddenly said:

"Demon Lord, let me go... I can also investigate the reason for Lucas's disappearance."

……

On the other hand, Chloe hurriedly hung up the call for a simple reason: someone was suddenly knocking on her door, and shouting as they knocked—

"Open the door! Check the water meter!"

Chapter 84 Physical Defenses Broken

"Open the door! I need to check the water meter."

A female voice, devoid of any emotion, came from outside Chloe's door.

After the woman finished speaking, she started knocking on the door.

Upon hearing the knocking and shouting, Chloe broke out in a cold sweat.

Which hotel room has a water meter?! Sis, you must have come to the wrong place!

Chloe was sweating and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she quickly made an excuse to cut off communication with Lulum.

After all, if Lulum saw or heard what was happening on her end, it would be even harder for her to explain.

So why would a communication reel lead to the development of a technology like "video calling"?

After Chloe hung up the call, the person outside seemed to see no response from inside, so they knocked harder and harder.

Even the shouts from outside have become: "Open the door! The community is bringing warmth!"

So you're afraid people won't know you're here to "check the water meter"? What kind of community would send warmth to a hotel?!

Upon hearing this shout, Chloe couldn't help but think to herself, "What do you mean?"

As a former seasoned driver, Chloe certainly knew what "checking the water meter" and "community outreach" meant, but she never expected that there would be people "checking the water meter" in a hotel that provided such rooms.

Did someone really call the police while she was moving Elena to the hotel? Chloe wondered, her face darkening.

Although she hadn't done anything wrong, how was she supposed to explain the room's decor and the unconscious Elena that she had placed on the bed to the police officer outside who was "checking the water meter"?

The explanation is that she happened to bring an unconscious young woman to a hotel room, and they happened to end up in a love room, and she had just come out of the shower.

Hmm... although it's not impossible to explain it clearly.

After all, she's so young. Isn't it perfectly normal for her to randomly book a room because she doesn't know anything? Yes, as long as she pretends to know nothing, she can probably get away with it by being cute.

She just didn't know if the police officer outside would listen to her first. If he just arrested her without saying a word... Elena was still unconscious. What if something happened to her?

It's important to know that Elena's life is being targeted, and Saint Eustia is very likely in this city. It's hard to say that there aren't people in this city who want to prevent Elena from meeting Eustia.

This was something Chloe only thought of after sensing Eustia's presence.

But hearing the knocking that was about to turn into banging on the door, Chloe decided to open it first and see how things went.

Otherwise, if the police officer outside just barged in, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to explain...

"Coming, coming, I'll open the door right away..."

Chloe composed herself, adjusting her expression and voice, and spoke in a naive and childlike tone.

This should improve the officer's impression of her and make him less wary, so he won't arrest her right away.

Chloe then opened the door a crack, poked her head out, and said to the officer outside, "Damn!"

Chloe's carefully composed expression and tone crumbled the moment she poked her head out.

Moreover, it penetrates defenses (physical).

Chloe instinctively covered her face and squatted down.

Is that person outside crazy? I already responded, I even opened the door, why is she still knocking?! Luckily, she only knocked on my forehead, not my nose, otherwise I might have really gotten hurt…

That's right, Chloe got hit on the head by the police officer outside the door.

The officer who knocked on Chloe's forehead outside the door, seeing Chloe crouching down with her head in her hands, didn't immediately realize what had happened. But when she realized that she seemed to have knocked on the face of the little girl who had suddenly crouched down, and was about to squat down to apologize, she suddenly saw the "props" in the room.

The policewoman's face instantly turned red.

This is absolutely outrageous and immoral! I can't believe the report from the concerned public was actually true...

Thinking this, the policewoman immediately pulled a silver bracelet from her pocket. Just as she was about to do something, Chloe suddenly grabbed her sleeve, looked up at her with a sob in her voice and teary eyes, and said:

"I...I'm injured, officer..."

Chloe was clearly faking her tears. The force of the knock on the door was negligible on the forehead of this high-level demon. She had only subconsciously activated her defensive stance due to the sudden "attack."

She's faking tears to stage an accident and gain sympathy, trying to make the policewoman think she's weak, pitiful, and helpless. She wants to hear her explanation before handcuffing her...

If only things were that simple.

Seeing that Chloe had already built up her emotions and was about to start crying and playing the victim, the policewoman directly interrupted Chloe's "chanting" and said:

"Yes, I understand. You've been bullied, and I need to help you catch the bad guys, right? I'll go right now..."

"???"

Then, to Chloe's bewildered gaze, the policewoman walked to the bedside and handcuffed the silver bracelet onto the unconscious Elena's wrist.

Clearly, she had misunderstood something, and speaking righteously to the unconscious Elena:

"I am now arresting you for indecent assault! You may remain silent, but everything you say can be used against you in court... At least give me some feedback!"

No, didn't you realize the person lying on the bed was unconscious? And I was the one who moved her here while she was unconscious...

Was it that the person who reported her didn't explain things clearly, or did she just make up some weird ideas?

"This police officer seems a bit dim-witted."

Chloe looked at the scene before her and thought somewhat awkwardly.

Or, how about we sell Elena first? Once she finds the Saintess, we can ask the Saintess to get her out of jail?

Elena is currently unconscious, so we have no idea what happened...

A ridiculous idea suddenly popped into Chloe's mind.

But before she could put this idea into action, suddenly a pair of hands wrapped around her from behind.

Startled by the sudden hug, Chloe wondered who could have embraced her from behind so quietly. Could it be...?

However, before she could think much about it, a silver bracelet appeared on her wrist.

"You've got it wrong, this little girl is the one who should be reported..."

The person who had grabbed Chloe spoke in a flat, emotionless female voice to the policewoman beside the bed.

"Good heavens, so there were two police officers at the entrance from the beginning?" Chloe listened to the voice and confirmed that it was exactly the same voice that had spoken earlier.

Why is a perfectly good police officer playing stealth games?

And couldn't you please not just handcuff her without saying a word? At least let me hear her explanation, okay?

She really is just an innocent little girl!

Chloe cried out in her heart.

……

"I heard you had that little girl and that suspected target arrested and taken to the detention center?"

The red-haired girl put down her teacup, frowned slightly, and asked her subordinate.

"Yes……"

"Didn't I tell you not to alert them? If that little girl really is a pawn of some high-ranking member of the cult, what good will it do me to do this?"

The red-haired girl gave a cold laugh, seemingly wanting to hear her subordinate's explanation.

"But what harm is there for you? Anyway, this wasn't your order, nor was it even done by anyone in the cult. I was just using the reporting mechanism to quickly identify them..."

The subordinate bowed and spoke humbly.

After listening to her subordinate's explanation, the red-haired girl pondered for a moment, then nodded as if agreeing with her words, and continued to ask:

"I'll forgive you for acting on your own this time, but what will the result be?"

"That little girl never reacted like an ordinary person; she was either an abandoned child or just an ordinary person... But the person in the blanket was definitely the target. But I'm sorry, sir, I couldn't bring them back."

The subordinate lowered his head and continued speaking.

"Why?" The red-haired girl didn't particularly care whether her subordinates had brought the person back or not; she just curiously asked them for the reason.

"It was the Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden took them away..."

Chapter 85 Can a Dark History Be Published as a Book?

"Alright, now please cooperate again..."

In a dimly lit room, the officer who had previously arrested Chloe shone a light on Chloe's face and spoke.

However, Chloe remained unmoved, continuing to eat the third bowl of pork chop rice that the officer handed her.

She had to admit that human food suited her taste better; Chloe even felt she could still eat three more big bowls.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Chloe had been taken to the police station for interrogation. In the past, she was always arrested because she was suspected of having ulterior motives towards young girls. She never expected that now it would be the young girl who would be arrested for being suspected of a similar crime.

So why can't we just listen to her explanation? There was absolutely no need to make things so complicated...

What was Chloegan thinking when she was captured?

However, after seeing the officers' attitude, Chloe realized that there was more to the story.

Fortunately, Elena, who was unconscious, was taken to the police station as a witness and should be out of immediate danger.

Surely there can't be a mole within the police station, right?

Anyway, she's just a cute little girl pretending to be silly right now. These police officers haven't taken any coercive measures against her except for feeding her and getting her to answer some unimportant questions.

After all, those police officers aren't stupid. Just because of a report from a concerned citizen, they would arrest a little girl and interrogate her on charges of forced molestation. That's a bit ridiculous.

The police officers were also somewhat bewildered, wondering why their superiors were taking this clearly joke-like report so seriously...

But they could only follow the orders and go through the procedures.

So, in the interrogation room, Chloe ate the pork chop rice served as "interrogation" and various snacks that were given to her, and felt as at ease as if she were at home when she came to the interrogation room.

"Name, age, gender, occupation... oh no, I mean, parents' contact information." The police officer, who was using a light spell to cover Chloe's face, was also just going through the motions, but his way of asking questions was a bit rigid, which instantly transported Chloe back to a few years ago.

So, when Chloe was asked by the police officer, she instinctively responded with a standard line: "My name is Li Wen, I'm 22 years old, male, and my profession is a hero. Do you even know what a hero is? I suggest you release me right now, or you'll be in trouble!..."

Although Chloe was using the standard lines she used to use to deal with interrogations, she was so focused on eating that she had clearly forgotten that she was no longer a hero.

The officer didn't react much to Chloe's obviously off-screen answer, but simply looked at her with the eyes of someone looking at a mischievous child and said helplessly:

"You've been reading too many novels, haven't you? I'm asking for information, not asking you to retell the plot of Chapter 1, Page 13, Paragraph 3 of 'The Hero's Descent Calendar'..."

"???" Chloe, who was eating her rice, looked completely bewildered after hearing what the officer said.
