I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The bone sea was boiling.

It covered the entire plaza, engulfing everything.

Merchants, brokers, and artisans on the plaza unleashed their life-saving magical devices, resulting in blood splatters and shattering sounds everywhere, creating utter chaos.

"Oh~ He's angry!"

"What? Does he like this kid?" Barro and Bonnie chuckled, their excitement growing with the sight of blood.

Simultaneously, they further blurred their figures and the bone-chariot, precisely avoiding the pursuit of the particles, clearly realizing that this dust-like substance could interfere with their stealth.

The dog-couple, like loaches in the bone sea, skillfully maneuvered the bone-chariot.

The unprepared brave ones, after withstanding the first wave of the bone sea, quickly formed ranks, those still alive cooperating to defend their surroundings.

But just as they regained their senses and prepared to counterattack, searching for Li Yue's main body, they discovered that the bone sea had suddenly receded, leaving only a ground of demon wolf teeth and self-healing bones.

They swarmed forward, vying for the materials on the ground and the belongings of the deceased brave ones.

Some even ignored the continuously bleeding wounds on their bodies, assuming they would heal on their own after a while.

"Put it all on the ground~ Whoever moves dies~" Bonnie only said one sentence, without even raising her gun, and the brave ones ceased their actions, allowing Barro and Bonnie to claim everything as their spoils.

"Darling, he escaped, should we quickly chase after him?" Barro hadn't even started.

"No, he didn't escape~ Look at what's missing on the ground~" Bonnie pressed against Barro's face, turning his head, and gazed at the damaged teleportation gate in the center of the plaza.

"Hmm? Where's that corpse?" Barro noticed that Little Harry's corpse was gone, along with his head, and the blood he had spilled.

"How strange~ There's nothing special about it, really…" Bonnie examined Little Harry's head, seeing no value in it.

"Forget it~ Let's gather the scraps on the ground first, we can ask it later~" Bonnie stopped the chariot, repeatedly reaching out to collect large swaths of materials from the ground.

Just then, a merchant next to the teleportation gate suddenly had his money bag swell, with a bald old man's head protruding from the opening.

"The teleportation gate is broken? So many people died? How much money have I lost?" The old man said with a mournful face, frowning.

"Tsk… Abaddon…" Bonnie looked at the old man with an expression as if she had seen feces.

"Barro, Bonnie… You really can't continue like this…" Abaddon struggled to emerge from the merchant's money bag, standing shakily on the ground.

When he saw the bone-chariot behind Bonnie, Abaddon's eyes lit up.

They shone like stars.

"What is this?" Abaddon asked.

"What is this?" In the bone-house's reception hall, Tom stood far away at the entrance of the bloody corridor, asking Li Yue beside the bone throne.

A surgery was taking place on the bone throne.

A child's body and his severed head were placed together, the trachea, blood vessels, and neck bones were pulled out by Li Yue's will, while forcibly adding "self-healing", and using stitching threads and particles for sewing and repositioning.

A mass of blood floated above Li Yue's head, like a hanging bag of blood, with blood threads constantly flowing into the blood vessels, nourishing the child's body.

The severed corpse was naturally the newsboy Harry, whose head had just been stolen by Bonnie.

At that time, Li Yue originally wanted to cover the entire plaza with the bone sea, leaving Barro and Bonnie with nowhere to escape, drowning the dog-couple, but he inadvertently discovered that the blood in Harry's heart was still pumping, and the Demon Illustrated Handbook vaguely heard his inner voice when scanning the head.

【Artisan… Apprentice…】

Not completely dead.

Li Yue decisively wrapped Harry's body and severed head with stitching threads and octopus tentacles, and while collecting his blood, he turned back to the library, attempting to reattach Little Harry's head.

Hence, this scene in the bone-house's reception hall.

Although he had accumulated a lot of surgical experience while disguising as Hannibal, it was the first time he had tried to sew a person's severed head back on.

Li Yue concentrated on operating, and after repeatedly experiencing several heart stoppages and electrical stimulation from the tentacles, he finally sewed Little Harry's neck, waiting for the moment when the blood began to circulate again.

"He's alive!" Li Yue exclaimed.

Fortunately, Bonnie's thief's hand was extremely skilled, leaving only a clean cut when removing Harry's head, without damaging the surrounding tissues.

Little Harry was unconscious.

【Artisan… Apprentice…】

Li Yue slumped against the edge of the bone throne, suddenly realizing that Barro and Bonnie might still be chasing after him, so he quickly sent Little Harry to the bloody corridor, to prevent him from being stolen again.

"This is… a human?" Tom admired Li Yue's suturing technique, and incidentally asked Mini and Mini next to him to fetch some herbs.

【Master… Could it be that you really want to play doctor?】

Tom remembered that the last time Li Yue returned from the Abyss Maw, he brought back the corpse of a person named "Rain Man", and even asked Galarick to research how to turn him into a skeleton soldier…

Currently, Rain Man was being buried by Galarick next to the thunder pool on the upper level—in the words of the Skeleton Guard Captain, it was using lightning to cleanse the flesh and blood, and polish its skeletal will.

Tong Shao had also examined Rain Man's corpse, and stated that the "force field" between the organs of this corpse was under the influence of the giant soldier's parts, causing the flesh and blood to fuse with the command stick, and the final result was still unknown.

Currently, the flesh and blood of Rain Man's corpse had not yet completely receded, and the master had snatched the body of a little child again, did he intend to conduct human experiments on a large scale in the library?

Tom, who had three brain spirit pituitary glands embedded in his head, touched the wound on the back of his head, and compared Li Yue's suturing technique, feeling that perhaps this was his more proficient field.

But if this continued, the library might need to arrange a mortuary?

Tom was lost in thought.

"Don't think so much, he's just a child I brought back, just like you." Li Yue naturally heard Tom's inner voice.

"First find him an empty room to stay in, ask Piggo to make some human food, and call me when he wakes up." Li Yue only wanted to save this little newsboy at the time, and hadn't thought about how to settle him.

Before that, it was better not to let him have too much contact with the monsters in the library.

"Although his life was saved by you, I don't think he will be able to communicate normally after waking up."

A book called "Live Experiment" flashed through Tom's mind, written by an imperial warlock more than four hundred years ago.

"Similar studies have shown that after severing the head, the brain's function will quickly decline, causing irreversible damage…"

Li Yue understood that it should be problems such as insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, which he couldn't solve, and could only wait and see what happened after Little Harry woke up.

"By the way, I found the nerve where the cerebral cortex walnut should be connected, the curse of the Abyss Maw is no longer a problem." As he spoke, Tom took out the cerebral cortex walnut from his hair and threw it to Li Yue, while demonstrating the usage in his mind.

"Very good." Li Yue hurriedly stuffed the cerebral cortex walnut into his scalp.

"Strange, that dog-couple didn't chase after us, it's not like them…" After this chase, Li Yue had already experienced Barro and Bonnie's greed, as well as their merciless style, and couldn't understand why they were suddenly so quiet.

He hadn't received any malicious prompts from them during the surgery either.

Now, Tom had just researched the method of connecting the cerebral cortex walnut, solving the curse of the Abyss Maw…

Then now he could take them to the Abyss Maw for some fun, and wait for dawn.

Li Yue arranged the "Abominable" and "Notable" cards, rested for a while, and set off again.
