Chapter 470 468. Investigation

Two weeks later, the Ancient Dragon Ruins, the manor where the former Demon Lord Guss used to reside.

Marn was in the deepest basement of this manor, quietly waiting for the little devil to return.

After killing Guss, Marn not only came here to directly seize his remaining property, but also dealt with all the demons who knew of his existence, including Sulwen and Tona’s original followers.

Now, no one in Hell knows that he has ever been here, which should help.

Although the mastermind is mysterious and powerful, this is not his home turf after all, and at that time, the mastermind used what he had done before to drive the Federation to fight with him.

According to Kalia, a member lurking in the Federation, the mastermind used a well-known anomalous item called "Historical Pages" to learn of his information, but this method is not suitable for real-time monitoring.

Now, the only significance of the mastermind's grasp of his whereabouts is to prevent him from finding him, so as long as he can delay the time he is detected, it will be enough, he just needs to find his trail.

That's why he chose the little devil as his "subordinate". As a creature of Hell, this boy has not mastered any particularly powerful power, and although his mind is passable, it is certainly not the top.

But Marn doesn't need these qualities. What he wants is to investigate who has recently made a deal with the Dragon Mother, and the little devil has a characteristic that other demons basically cannot have, that is, basic "loyalty".

This loyalty is certainly not based on their relationship and feelings, but on the little devil's ambition, hatred, gratitude and other emotions, and of course, most importantly, his respect for his power.

At that time, Marn chose to go in and save the little devil at that time, in fact, because if it went on like this, he would really succumb, he did not have the usual sense of "loyalty" to him.

But even this deformed loyalty is loyalty. In fact, most of the so-called "loyalty" in the world is not better than the little devil's to him, after all, it is a deformed thing for a person to be "loyal" to another person.

In fact, Marn doesn't need the kind of loyalty that can die for him. Under the premise that he can grant and take back the power on the little devil, and can also monitor him, Marn only wants him to sincerely do things for himself.

But in a place like Hell full of betrayal, even this degree of loyalty is not available, and if they encounter the traps left by the mastermind, they probably don't even have the courage to face them.

Of course, the reason why he finally chose the little devil is not just these, but also because he actually wants to leave an Anomalous Containment Bureau "branch station" in Hell, and the little devil is his starting point here.

Therefore, Marn also values a particularly scarce characteristic of the little devil in Hell - that is, although he is a demon, he has not done much evil, and has not even killed anyone.

This is certainly not because the little devil is so kind, but because he was either deceived or bullied by Sulwen and the others after he went to Hell, and he had no chance to resist at all, but this level is just right.

If the little devil is completely bad, it may be difficult to get along with other Containment Bureau employees, and if he is really so kind, he probably won't survive a few days in Hell, and he will definitely be constrained in doing things.

But just as Marn was waiting, he suddenly received a message from Qin Lan.

[There seems to be some movement in the Witt Castle in the Southern Federation, should we send someone to investigate?]

Marn immediately gave her a negative answer. Witt Castle was an anomalous building he had contained before, and it also had a passage connecting to the Titan ruins, but after he had enough employees, he assimilated the anomalous characteristics of this building into the Containment Bureau, and it was no longer useful there.

However, after completing the assimilation and having suitable spare manpower, Marn sent employees to monitor the movements around Witt Castle at a safe distance, because it was still related to a Southern God.

If he notices the changes in this castle, he will inevitably think of himself, and if anyone really re-contacts this castle, it means that he may have been targeted by the Fire God.

But this point in time made Marn feel wrong. He almost instantly thought of the "truth" - this should be the mastermind acting against him again, and this time he found the Southern Federation gods.

But this news is not particularly bad. On the contrary, Marn felt a little relieved after learning about it. Whether he knows it or not, the mastermind must be planning to deal with him. It is definitely a good thing to know what he is doing.

And to be honest, he has no fear of the Southern Federation gods. These gods cannot leave the prison that the Titans have designated for them. As long as he does not enter the Southern Federation, he will not be particularly dangerous.

Now they have no other bargaining chips that can threaten him, and they cannot force him to enter the Southern Federation or somewhere else with something like last time, so Marn actually finds it difficult to imagine how the mastermind can use the Southern Federation gods to deal with him.

If it were someone else, Marn might think that the other party has run out of tricks, and feel that the Southern Federation gods are the last group he can find to use, and not feel that he will be in any danger.

But he didn't think so. After seeing the guy's methods, Marn has extremely high respect and vigilance for this unknown enemy, so now he is actually worried about how the other party will use these restricted Southern Federation gods to deal with him.

In any case, he has to speed up his pace.

The little devil's excited voice came from outside the basement:

"Master, there is new progress on the task you gave me!"

The demon boy quickly pushed the door open and walked in. At this moment, he had a pair of small bat wings behind him, the two short horns on his forehead had also grown a few centimeters longer, and his two canine teeth had become particularly sharp.

But even so, it is difficult for the demons who see him to imagine that the little devil is actually a demon lord - in the few days that the little devil was finding him a job, Marn took the time to pick a demon lord to extract anomalous characteristics.

While giving it to the little devil, he naturally also became an employee of the Containment Bureau, but Marn did not let the little devil retain the memory of the Containment Bureau and how he obtained the power, only ensuring that he knew that the power was still under his control.

After obtaining the power, the little devil basically took over Guss's subordinates. Marn also specially fabricated a difficult-to-distinguish true or false story of a weak person's counterattack, which spread in the Ancient Dragon Ruins.

"What progress?" Marn asked.

The little devil said very happily:

"I have obtained the list of people who have met with the Dragon Mother. All the demons who did not enter the palace through the back door during that time should be recorded here. I only used half of Guss's property to exchange for this."

Saying that, he handed a few pieces of paper to Marn.
