I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Li Yue, of course, remained completely silent, all the while using his X-ray vision to observe the believer's every move.

The believer didn't seem to be asking Li Yue, but instead walked near the platform, gazing at the back room in the moonlight.

A faint tapping sound came from within.

"It's you again…" The believer, hearing the familiar sound, felt relieved, then suddenly paused, as if realizing something.

"Excellent, I can use you as an excuse…" The believer said, opening the door and slowly walking into the back room.

Li Yue vaguely remembered this person mentioning "Admonishment Hall" earlier, and a trace of interest arose—what was in the Admonishment Hall? Who was doing the admonishing?

But seeing the light on the map gradually becoming rounder, Li Yue felt it best not to create unnecessary complications, focusing first on the cheat, and dealing with other matters later.

So Li Yue lay under the pew, using the gap created by the believer opening the door to sense the entire interior of the church, gradually entering a state of self-forgetfulness.

He seemed to feel the emotions that had occurred in the church, those of piety, helplessness, anger, madness… all rushing into his mind.

When the light of Iron Mine Town was filled, Li Yue felt a trance, as if he had just woken up.

"Shadow Demon! Shadow Demon Nolemore!" The believer blurted out all his guesses, "The Demon King's City is here! The Demon King's City is attacking…"

In that instant, the white lights of the church flickered on, and two white-robed figures emerged from the viscous halo, the very two who had just finished weakly "instilling" faith into Norton under the town square.

"Yes, we are the heroes, we are just lost sheep." Rufus took the prisoner from the believer's hand.

Looking up at the moonlight, not having moved far, Li Yue knew it was just a moment of absent-mindedness.

"You knew! You are just like you taught us, persuading those heroes… oh right, those believers to accept the faith!" The believer, meeting the two priests at once, was somewhat incoherent.

"It wasn't me." Viges nodded.

"But you clearly saw the shadow move… You taught us that Shadow Demons can control shadows…" Although the believer's emotions were intense, he still tried to show that he remembered the teachings.

My next date with Jessica is now a distant prospect.

The church opened its doors, releasing the heroes.

"What do we do now?" Shi Meidan raised her head, drawing a rhombus in the air.

"I didn't 'see' a shadow." Viges shook his head, "I only saw a believer break out of the window."

Viges raised his hand, and the entire church began to glow—he was checking the interior to ensure there were no more intruders or remnants of demonic power.

"Don't worry, don't worry, if it was a Shadow Demon, he would already be dead." Rufus pressed down on the believer's shoulder, comforting his unease.

"But what exactly is my reason for coming to the church? To rescue the other believers?" Rufus was vague about what was inside the church, but didn't understand Li's purpose.

Li Yue wasn't sure what all that meant in the Admonishment Hall.

Were those humans? Believers?

"Maybe there really will be a 'Traveler' path… and my journey must pass through the church?" Viges's guess was somewhat close to the truth.

Since Li Yue hadn't completed his mission yet, how could he dare stay any longer, directly breaking out of the window and drilling into the sewer.

"By the way, why were you there in the first place?" After finishing the spell, Viges turned his head, looking at the believer, "I don't seem to have arranged for you… to help the believers admonish."

The light swung back and forth, as if it would drip white slurry at any moment, but the prisoners inside the cage dared not look at the lamp, avoiding it as if they were avoiding poison.

"Is this the one we're looking for?" Rufus's face darkened.

"Go, find him, and you can be redeemed, you can regain your freedom." Shi Meidan also directly opened the cage in the Admonishment Hall.

"It seems he achieved his goal." Rufus was a little frustrated.

The believer flicked his whip, entangling a prisoner who looked strong and sturdy, leading him like a dog, heading towards the main hall.

"He's been leading us by the nose…" Rufus smiled wryly.

"Shadow Demon!" The believer shouted.

"I don't know why a Shadow Demon would come in! Just now, the shadows of the entire church moved! I almost…" The believer already had a bit of a sob in his voice.

Even more diligently than avoiding the believer's whip.

Perhaps during the Masked Assembly incident, that Traveler had already set his sights on the church.

Immediately afterwards, the believer turned into a pool of white slurry, absorbed into Shi Meidan's palm.

Go up and take a look?

Immediately afterwards came the clanging of chains—Li Yue had just climbed halfway, his X-ray vision bypassing the halo, seeing the believer whipping a group of prisoners outside the cages, just as he had imagined.

But it was not at this time, the believer's voice came from the admonishment hall in the front room.

"Good, you suspect." Viges walked past the 9 heroes, stroking their foreheads in turn.

"It doesn't matter, at least we have also controlled some scavengers because of this." Viges seemed to be more concerned with absorbing the power of the empire than the church being invaded.

The light of the church was also gradually increasing, until the deep night was illuminated into daylight.

Li Yue wasn't sure if it was his imagination.

The believer saw Li Yue's figure, vomited a mouthful of white slurry and smeared it under his eyes, capturing that scene.

Then smeared the white slurry under his mouth, the believer shouted: "Believer intruder! Believer intruder!"

"You… you…" The believer didn't expect the topic to come back around, stuttering.

The light of the entire Iron Mine Town also stood upright because of this, pointing to the church, and gathering towards there.

Rufus also loosened his whip, and the believers stood up in astonishment.

The church was no longer an unknown darkness to Li Yue, and Li Yue no longer had unfinished business in Iron Mine Town.

Viges summoned the believers of the entire Iron Mine Town to search for the Traveler again.

Viges wiped the white slurry under the believer's eyes, absorbed it into his body, slowly savoring it.

But a moment later, they knew there was no other choice, only to start.

But it was in this instant, the shadows of the entire church darkened, spread out, and then rapidly contracted back into Li Yue's body.

The prisoners were very healthy, each of them looking scantily clad; in the very center of the cage hung a lamp, flowing with white slurry inside, faintly standing upright.

Li Yue also noticed that the physiques of these people were far beyond ordinary people, some of their blood flow was very similar to knights, and at the very least were much stronger than Mustah.

The white slurry seeped into the heroes' bodies, and they felt their bodies filled with power.

If it was "Li", then it could be determined that all his actions tonight were planned, far from being as simple as killing two merchants.

Driven by curiosity, Li Yue was about to climb to a good angle to observe the Admonishment Hall, when suddenly an image of a believer whipping a group of prisoners surged in his mind.

"Lord Shi Meidan! Lord Rufus! Believer intruder!" The believer shouted, pointing at the broken window.

Rufus looked back at Viges, seemingly waiting for him to make a judgment.

Even more did not know where the Shadow Demon came from.

The four ragged believers, or rather, the heroes, looked at each other, all doubting that Viges had such good intentions.

"Quiet." Shi Meidan was always the one to speak first, "Is it a believer? Or a Shadow Demon?"

"If we remember correctly, some of you were once hunters?"

"What did he come here to do? What did he take away? Did he rescue the other believers?" The thin Rufus pointed to the prisoner who was being led by the believer with a whip.
